GOING CONCERN /
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the year ended December 31, 2013, cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations were
$7,083,006. This was principally due to a net loss from continuing operations of $16,334,515 which was partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of approximately $2.9 million, an impairment of intangible
assets of approximately $1.8 million and add backs for depreciation approximately $1.8 million. The net loss from continuing operations is discussed in greater detail in the results from operations for the years ended December 30, 2013 and 2012
section of this MD&A.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, cash flows provided by investing activities from continuing operations of $170,663
were primarily due to the sale of unutilized plant, machinery and equipment at Bakers Pride, Inc.s subsidiary Mt. Pleasant Street Bakery, Inc.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, cash flows provided by financing activities from continuing operations of $6,624,553 was primarily due to proceeds
received from loans with related parties.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, total cash flows provided by discontinued operations was $226,554.
Cash provided by in discontinued operations was primarily related to the sale of EQS in 2013.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements, we recorded a net
loss from continuing operations of $16,334,515 for the year ended December 31, 2013. We had a working capital deficit of $34,430,921 and an accumulated deficit of $100,852,132 as of December 31, 2013. The results of the Companys cash
flows from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been adversely impacted by the customer slowdown in infrastructure capital expenditures caused by the general downturn of the economic conditions and cash flow issues
related to major customers. The Company has discontinued operations of IMSC, Tulare and ESI in 2011 which had significant negative impact on the Companys cash flows in 2011. The Companys primary focus is to achieve profitable operations
and positive cash flow of its operations of its long established niche businesses - Tyree and Bakers Pride.
28
Our auditors, Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company LLP, have stated in their audit report that there is
substantial doubt on the Companys ability to continue operations as a going concern due to our recurring net losses from operations, and the Company having a significant negative working capital and (deficit) equity as of December 31,
2013. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to raise additional funds through debt and equity financing, and to achieve profitable operations. Our plans to continue as a going concern and to achieve a profitable
level of operations are as follows:
With respect to BPI, management has successfully negotiated a contract for co-packing frozen donut products to one of
the worlds largest family owned food companies which is a global supplier to the food service and in store bakery retail industries. Management believes that this contract will pave the way for additional contracts from other significant food
companies in addition to increased business from the newly acquired customer. BPI has entered the frozen segment and is also positioning itself to enter back into the fresh bread manufacturing industry by placing significant and competitive bids to
strategic players within the fresh bread markets. Management believes that by September of 2014, the Mt. Pleasant Street facility and the Jefferson Street facility will be operationally capable of supporting itself on its internally generated cash
flows. Management, with its lender, Central State Bank, extended the bridge loan financing which will allow for BPI to extend its interest only financing on the new donut equipment until such time that BPI is able through its cash flow to make
principal payments.
With respect to Tyree, management is projecting an increase in its environmental business through the end of 2014 and 2015.
Tyrees ability to succeed in securing additional environmental business depends on the ability of one of Tyrees primary customers to secure remediation work by bidding environmental liabilities currently present on gasoline stations and
referring this work to Tyree. Management is in the process of evaluating the profitability of Tyrees other divisions and intends to continue these operations provided that they continue to be profitable. In addition, in 2013 Tyrees
management has liquidated or ceased additional purchases of similar inventory. As a result, inventory is significantly lower year over year between 2013 and 2012. There was a significant increase in the reserve for obsolete inventory recorded during
the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. Management continues to seek opportunities to liquidate excess inventory and intends to utilize cash flows generated from this decrease in inventory as additional working capital.
Tyrees management is working to secure additional available capital resources and turn around Tyrees operations to generate operating income. As
of December 31, 2013, Tyree has a working capital deficit of approximately $19.5 million exclusive of amounts owed to Amincor and recorded a net loss of approximately $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Tyree has entered
into settlement agreements and continues to negotiate with creditors to pay off its outstanding debt obligations. However, without additional capital resources, Tyree may not be able to continue to operate and may be forced to curtail its business,
liquidate assets and/file for bankruptcy protection. In any such case, its business, operating results or financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
With respect to AWWT, management continues to market water technology under a licensing agreement executed in 2012. AWWT seeks to sell waste water treatment
equipment to large municipal, industrial, agricultural and commercial generators of waste water. Management is currently in discussion with multiple customers in this market and believes that there is a significant opportunity for consistent and
reliable cash flows from placing systems in use with these customers.
With respect to Amincor Other Assets, there are significant assets currently
residing on Amincor Other Assets balance sheet related to the discontinued operations of Imperia and Tulare in addition to assets available for sale. Management is currently in negotiations regarding the assets related to Tulare and is in the
process of finalizing the transaction to complete the sale of the asset. Management intends to liquidate these assets as soon as they are able to do so profitably. Management believes there is more value in these assets than is currently shown on
29
our balance sheet and any attempt to liquidate these assets quickly will decrease their value to, or below, what is currently showing on our balance sheet. In the meantime, management is
utilizing these assets to the best of their ability by offsetting the costs associated with owning those assets by generating income from renting these properties out when possible.
With respect to Amincor, Inc.s corporate offices, Management continues to seek new financing from a financial institution in order to provide more
working capital to its subsidiary companies. Management has had discussions with many financial institutions of different types and has narrowed down eligible candidates to only a few. Management expects that by executing on the above plans for the
subsidiary companies and by acquiring new financing for working capital for its subsidiary companies, Bakers Pride, Tyree and AWWT will become profitable and be able to generate enough internal cash flow to operate independently of one
another.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
ESI
Volkl license agreement was terminated in September 2011 and concurrently the Strategic Alliance Agreement with Samsung America CT, Inc. (Samsung)
was also terminated. Volkl is seeking a $400,000 royalty payment. Epic has initiated counterclaims against the various parties, including but not limited to Samsung, seeking damages for, including but not limited to infringement, improper use of
company assets and breach of fiduciary duty. Volkl was successful in obtaining a judgment against Epic Sports International, Inc. and a confirmation of the Arbitration is presently pending in Federal Court. Management believes that this matter and
the Frost matter below will eventually be settled out of court for less than the royalty and damages amounts sought.
On September 28, 2012, Sean
Frost (Frost), the former President of Epic Sports International, Inc., filed a complaint against Epic Sports International Inc., Amincor, Inc. and Joseph Ingrassia (collectively, the Defendants). The first cause of action of
the complaint is a petition to compel arbitration for unpaid compensation and benefits pursuant to Frosts employment agreement. The second cause of action of the complaint is for breach of contract for alleged non-payment of expenses, vacation
days and assumption of certain debts. The third cause of action of the complaint is for violation of the California Labor Code for failure to pay wages. In addition, Frost is seeking among other things, damages, attorneys fees and costs and
expenses.
As of the date this filing, the case continues to be litigated and Management will update accordingly.
TYREE
One of Tyrees largest customers, Getty
Petroleum Marketing, Inc. (GPMI) filed for bankruptcy protection on December 5, 2011. As of that date, Tyree had a pre-petition receivable of $1,515,401, which was subsequently written-off due to the uncertainty of collection.
Additionally, Tyree has a post-petition administrative claim for $593,709. A Proof of Claim was filed with the Bankruptcy court on Tuesday, April 10, 2012. On August 27, 2012, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York confirmed GPMIs Chapter 11 plan of liquidation offered by its unsecured creditors committee, overruling the remaining objections. The plan provides for all of the debtors property to be liquidated over time and for the proceeds
to be allocated to creditors. Any assets not distributed by the effective date will be held by a liquidating trust and administered by a liquidation trustee, who will be responsible for
30
liquidating assets, resolving disputed claims, making distributions, pursuing reserved causes of action and winding up GPMIs affairs. As an unsecured creditor, Tyree may never collect or
may only collect a small percentage of the pre and post-petition amounts owed. To date, Tyree has not been notified of any intent by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to claw back any amounts paid to Tyree
pre-petition.
As of the date of this filing, Tyree management has negotiated settlements with Local Unions 99, 138 and 355. Tyree management continues to
negotiate with Local Unions 1, 25 and 200 over unpaid benefits that are due to each of the respective unions. As of December 31, 2013, Tyree had approximately $1.3 million in unpaid benefits. Tyree management does not dispute that benefits are
due and owing to each of the respective unions, however, settlement and payment plan discussions are ongoing. Local Unions 1 and 200 have each filed suit in the United States District Court Eastern District of New York to enforce their rights as to
the unpaid benefits due and owing from Tyree, and as guarantor of certain amounts due and owing, Amincor, Inc. is also a named party in these lawsuits.
Local Union 200 filed a claim with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleging that Tyree Service Corp violated the National Labor
Relations Act. By a letter dated May 31, 2013, the NLRB dismissed all charges against Tyree Service Corp. due to insufficient evidence to establish a violation. Local 200 intends to appeal the NLRB decision.
A variety of unsecured vendors have filed suit for non-payment of outstanding invoices totaling approximately $2.9 million as of December 31, 2013, which
are reflected as liabilities on the Companys consolidated condensed balance sheet. Each of these actions is handled on a case by case basis, to determine the settlement and payment plan.
BPI
In connection with Bakers Prides USDA
loan application, BPI had Environmental Site Assessments performed on the property where the Mt. Pleasant Street Bakery, Inc. resides, as required by BPIs prospective lender. A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was completed on
October 31, 2011 and was submitted to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for their review. IDNR requested that a Tier Two Site Cleanup Report (Tier Two) be issued and completed in order to better understand
what environmental hazards exist on the property. The Tier Two was completed on February 3, 2012 and was submitted to IDNR for further review. Managements latest correspondence with IDNR, dated March 21, 2012, required additional
environmental remediation in order to be in compliance with IDNRs regulations. Management has retained the necessary environmental consultants to become compliant with IDNRs request. Due to the nature of the liability, the remediation
work is 100% eligible for refund from IDNRs Innocent Landowner Fund. As such, there is no direct liability related to the cleanup of the hazard.
TULARE
The City of Lindsay, California has invoiced
Tulare Frozen Foods, LCC (TFF) $533,571 for outstanding delinquent amounts. A significant portion of the outstanding delinquent amounts are penalties, interest and fees that have accrued. A settlement proposal, whereby the City of
Lindsay would retain TFFs $206,666 deposit as settlement and release in full of all outstanding obligations was sent to the City of Lindsay for review on March 29, 2012. As of the date of this filing, no settlement has been reached.

December 31, 2013 totaled $129,964 as compared to a net loss of $41,280 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase in net income of $88,685 or approximately 214.8%. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to the
aforementioned increase in net revenues and the forgiveness of debt as discussed above.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND

BAKERS PRIDE, INC.
SEASONALITY
Operations at the Jefferson Street are not
influenced by seasonality. Operations at the Mt. Pleasant Street operation are affected by seasonality and sales are typically higher during the Spring and late Fall compared to other periods of the year. Due to co-packing and a limited customer
base for the year ended December 31, 2013, Jefferson Street and Mt. Pleasant Street operations were not as affected by seasonality as they would be if the facilities operated at higher volumes.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, Bakers Pride began producing cookies at its South Street Bakery facility; operations at this facility
ceased on November 30, 2012. Seasonality influenced the operations of the South Street Bakery facility as cookie sales are typically higher during the winter holiday season when compared to the summer season.
LOSS OF MATERIAL CUSTOMER
On July 16, 2012, BPI was
notified that Aldi, BPIs primary customer would be terminating its contract with the Company as of the end of October 2012 due to BPIs inability to meet certain pricing, cost and product offering needs. As such, BPI performed an
impairment study and concluded that BPIs goodwill and intangible assets were fully impaired.
Net revenues generated from Aldi comprised 0.0%, 89.5%
and 92.1% of net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. All of the revenues generated from Aldi were generated from BPIs Jefferson Street facility. Effective November 2, 2012,
BPI stopped significant production at the Jefferson Street facility. As such, there were layoffs of production personnel and wage reductions of remaining personnel in order to minimize losses until significant production resumes at the Jefferson
Street facility. Production continues with low volume regional companies. Marketing is working to increase product offerings, obtain additional customers and grow the business. A contract was secured with a major bread customer in October 2013 which
resulted in significant re-hiring of personnel and increased output at the Jefferson Street facility.
On November 30, 2012, BPI terminated the
equipment and facility lease which allowed for production at the South Street facility. It is managements intention to enter into a co-packing agreement for all of the products formerly produced internally with other bakeries in
order to continue to provide the same product offerings without operating the facility. Management has moved all equipment owned but formerly residing at the South Street facility to the Mt. Pleasant Street facility. Management intends to
return to its business plan of operating the Mt. Pleasant Street facility thereby reducing fixed overhead and variable costs by using cross trained personnel and providing its customer base the opportunity to purchase one, two or all three of
its product types in less than trailer load quantities but obtain cost effective logistics through a combined load of all products offered by BPI.
Discussions continue with additional bread and donut customers to operate as their producer, as well as opportunities for BPI branded products at both the
Jefferson Street and Mt. Pleasant Street facilities. However, as of the time of filing BPI is still seeking significant business from new customers. Contract negotiations with additional significant customers are ongoing.

Bread sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $252,344 as compared to $12,151,941 for the year ended
December 31, 2012, a decrease of $11,899,597 or approximately 97.9%. The primary reason for this decrease is the result of the termination of BPIs contract with Aldi on November 2, 2012.
Donut sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $1,465,861 as compared to $954,039 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of
$511,822 or approximately 53.6%. The primary reason for this increase is the result of the operations of the Mt. Pleasant Street facilitys donut line volume in 2013 which was not present in 2012.
Cookie sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $0 as compared to $1,481,764 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of
$1,481,764 or approximately 100.0%. This decrease was due to the termination of the South Street facilitys equipment and facility lease on November 30, 2012.
Staffing at the Jefferson Street facility increased to 16 full time employees from 6 full time employees at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Staffing at the Mt. Pleasant Street facility increased to 33 full time employees from 19 full time employees at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in personnel at the Jefferson Street and Mt. Pleasant Street facilities is
necessary to handle the current and projected volumes of the facilities for the coming year and will continue to increase alongside BPIs customer base.
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2013 totaled $3,650,647 or approximately 212.5% of net revenues as compared to $11,165,230 or approximately 76.5% for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $7,514,583 or approximately 67.3%. The Company had a 97.9%
decrease in net revenues against a 67.3% decrease in cost of revenues in 2013, as compared to 2012. The primary reason for the decrease in cost of revenues is related to the Jefferson Street facility not operating at 100% capacity during the year
ended December 31, 2013 due to the loss of Aldi as compared to operating at 100% capacity during the year ended December 31, 2012 until Aldi terminated its contract with BPI at the end of October 2012. Certain fixed costs are incurred by
BPI regardless of the production levels at BPIs facilities which were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013 but were not offset by sales as they were during the year ended December 21, 2012.
38
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $4,279,346 or approximately 249.1% of net revenues as compared to $6,664,872 or 45.7% for
the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2,385,526 or approximately 35.8%. The primary reason for this decrease was the result of the termination of the equipment and facility lease that allowed for production at the South Street
facility, savings of approximately $2.1 million. The remainder of the savings resulted from temporary decreases in managements salaries until BPIs production levels return to normal and decreases in fees paid to professional consultants.
LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
Loss from operations for the year
ended December 31, 2013 totaled $6,211,788 or approximately 361.5% of net revenue as compared to $3,242,358 or approximately 22.2% for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $2,969,430 or approximately $91.6%. The increase in
loss from operations was primarily due to the decrease in revenues and the increase in cost of revenues as noted above.
OTHER EXPENSES (INCOME)
Other expenses (income) for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $1,123,332 or approximately 66.9% of net revenues as compared to $13,397,372 or
approximately 91.8% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $12,247,535 or approximately 91.4%. The primary reason for this decrease in 2013 is due to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from
the loss of Aldi as a customer of approximately $12.6 million which occurred during the year ended December 31, 2012. Exclusive of the goodwill and intangible impairment, other expenses (income) for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled
$813,976, which represents an increase of $335,861 or approximately 41.3% as compared to December 31, 2013. The primary reason for this increase is related to a higher interest expense due to a larger loan balance on BPIs working capital
line and the 2012 bridge loan to purchase new equipment for the Mt. Pleasant Street facility.
NET LOSS
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $7,361,625 as compared to $16,639,730 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of
$9,278,105. The primary reason for this decrease in net loss is related to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as noted above during the year ended December 31, 2012.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
NET REVENUES
Net revenues for the year ended December 31,
2012 totaled $14,587,744 as compared to $15,968,945 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $1,381,201 or approximately 8.6%. Revenues generated by the Jefferson Street facility were in excess of 90.0% of revenues for the years
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Bread sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $12,151,941 as compared to $13,565,216 for the year
ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $1,413,275 or approximately 10.4%. The primary reason for this decrease is the result of the termination of BPIs contract with Aldi on November 2, 2012.
39
Donut sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $954,039 as compared to $1,142,268 for the year
ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $188,229 or approximately 16.5%. The primary reason for this decrease is the result of the termination of BPIs contract with Aldi on November 2, 2012.
Cookie sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $1,481,764 as compared to $1,260,243 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of
$221,521 or approximately 17.6%. This increase was primarily due to the South Street Bakery facility beginning production in late August 2011 and as such, the year ended December 31, 2011 only reflects five months of operations.
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2012 totaled $11,165,230 or approximately 76.5% of net revenues as compared to $11,667,289 or approximately 73.1% for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $502,059 or approximately 4.3%. The Company had an 8.6%
decrease in net revenues against a 4.3% decrease in cost of revenues in 2012, as compared to 2011.
Of this decrease of $502,059 in cost of revenues in
2012 for Bakers Pride, Inc., the South Street Bakery was responsible for $2,078,618 of the total cost of revenues with net revenues of $1,481,764. BPIs other operating unit, the Jefferson Street Bakery Inc., had net revenues of
$13,100,658 and cost of revenues of $9,073,741. The balance of net revenues, $5,322, was generated by the Mt. Pleasant Street Bakery and is related to small donut orders received in the month of December. BPI has moved its purchased cookie machinery
to its Mt. Pleasant Street facility where it will increase its efficiencies and facility utilization once it is able to offer cookie products.
SELLING,
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $6,664,872 or approximately 45.7% of net revenues
as compared to $4,853,875 or 30.4% for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $1,810,997 or approximately 37.3%. The primary reason for this increase was the result of management fees paid to Amincor for approximately $2.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 2012 that were only incurred in the month of December 2011 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
LOSS FROM
OPERATIONS
Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $3,242,358 or approximately 22.2% of net revenue as compared to $552,219
or approximately 3.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $2,690,139. The increase in loss from operations was primarily due to the increases in cost of revenues and operating expenses as noted above.
OTHER EXPENSES (INCOME)
Other expenses (income) for the year
ended December 31, 2012 totaled $13,397,372 or approximately 91.8% of net revenues as compared to $276,696 or approximately 1.7% of net
40
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $13,120,676. The primary reason for this increase in 2012 is due to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting
from the loss of Aldi as a customer of approximately $12.6 million. The remaining increase is related to a higher interest expense due to a larger loan balance on BPIs working capital line and the 2012 bridge loan to purchase new equipment for
the Mt. Pleasant Street facility.
NET LOSS
Net loss for
the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $16,639,730 as compared to $828,915 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $15,810,815. Of the Companys 2012 increase in net loss of $15,810,815, the South Street Bakery facility
generated approximately $2.3 million and the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from the loss of Aldi as a customer resulted in approximately $12.6 million of this net loss.
TYREE HOLDINGS CORP.
SEASONALITY AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Historically, Tyrees revenues tend to be lower during the first half of the year as Tyrees customers complete their planning for the upcoming year.
Approximately 30% of Tyrees revenues are earned from new customer capital expenditures. Customers capital expenditures are cyclical and tend to mirror the condition of the economy. During normal conditions, Tyree will need to draw from
its borrowing base early in the year and then pay down the borrowing base as the year progresses when it generates positive cash flows. The highest revenue generation occurs from late in the second quarter through the third quarter of the year.
On December 5, 2011 Tyrees largest customer, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. (GPMI) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the
United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. This bankruptcy filing had a significant impact on Tyrees operations and financial activities. Although the bankruptcy proceedings are ongoing, we anticipate losses from
pre-petition accounts receivable to be approximately $1,500,000. Immediately following the bankruptcy filing of GPMI, all ongoing work with GPMI was significantly reduced and plans for Tyrees restructuring began, including a reduction of
approximately 15% in workforce during the first quarter of 2012.
In December 2013, Tyree Environmental Corp. and Tyree Service Corp. (Tyree
entities) were sued by liquidating trustee of GPMI for recovery of preferential transfers in the respective amounts of $1,147,154 and $2,479,755. On March 27, 2014, the bankruptcy liquidating trustee entered into forbearance agreements
with the Tyree entities with respect to the preference actions until June 2014, with the understanding that the forbearance periods will be extended and the actions will ultimately be dismissed if the Tyree entities continue to not voluntarily
assist Getty Realty in litigation against GPMI. We believe that this recovery of preferential transfers has no merit or basis.
PAYROLL AND SALES TAX
LIABILITIES
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Tyree did not file certain required payroll tax returns on a timely basis and did not
properly pay its payroll tax liabilities, including trust funds withheld on behalf of its employees. Through the assistance of an outside payroll services company, Tyree filed all delinquent payroll tax returns during the fourth quarter of 2013 and
is
41
currently in negotiations with federal and various state authorities to settle its remaining payroll tax obligations. Tyree estimates that its outstanding payroll tax liability, including
penalties and interest, was approximately $4.7 million as of December 31, 2013.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, Tyree did not file
required sales tax returns in various jurisdictions. Tyree subsequently filed the required returns and is currently in negotiations with various state authorities to settle the remaining sales tax liability. Tyree estimates that its outstanding
sales tax liability, including penalties and interest, is approximately $1.5 million as of December 31, 2013
FINANCING
Tyree maintains a $15,000,000 revolving credit agreement with its Parent Amincor which expires on January 1, 2016. Borrowings under this agreement are
collateralized by a first lien security interest in all tangible and intangible assets owned by Tyree. Availability of funding from Amincor is dependent on Amincors liquidity. The annual interest rate charged on this loan was approximately 5%
for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Going forward, Tyrees growth will be difficult to attain until either (i) new working
capital is available through profitable operations or (ii) new equity is invested into Tyree to facilitate organic and acquisition based growth.
LIQUIDITY
Tyree incurred net losses of $9,988,811 and
$15,425,134 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Since Tyrees largest customer filed bankruptcy in December 2011, as noted above, Tyree has been having significant cash flow problems. Significantly reduced revenues
and old accounts payable settlement payments have put stress on the available funding and the existing credit facility. In the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, management responded with a plan to term out all current vendors.
Many vendors agreed to long term pay outs, so Tyree converted a portion of accounts payable to long and short term debt; at December 31, 2013 this amounted to $2,884,957. In reaction to the GPMI Bankruptcy filing, management reduced employee
headcount, rescheduled accounts payable, reduced managements salaries and reduced its rent commitments. In addition, Green Valley Oil, LLC (Green Valley), a sub tenant of GPMI, went out of business in June 2012. Tyree was able to
secure two new customers to replace the lost business from Green Valley, but the lost business was not replaced in its entirety. Management continues to analyze Tyrees overhead expenses and will continue to reduce its works force as necessary
until it is able to replace the business lost as a result of the GPMI bankruptcy filing and the Green Valley business cessation.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
NET REVENUES
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $26,602,051 as compared to $36,559,923 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of
$9,957,813 or approximately 27.2%. The decrease in revenues in 2013 can primarily be attributable to the loss of the unprofitable revenue from the Cumberland Farms maintenance contract and the elimination of other non-profitable maintenance
business. The environmental business increased by 2,319,000 which was a 17.6% increase. Revenues by operating division for the year ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $24,128,916 or approximately 90.7% of net revenues as compared to $31,188,583, or 85.3% for
the year ended December 31, 2012. The primary reason for the cost of revenue increase was due to adjustments related to inventory. Due to the change in inventory valuation from average cost to first in first out, an increase in reserve obsolete
inventory and several other smaller adjustments the cost of revenues increased by approximately $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
SG&A expenses
for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $8,189,584, or approximately 30.7% of net revenues compared to $11,978,445, or approximately 32.8% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease in operating expenses of
3,788,862 or approximately 31.6%. The largest reduction in operating expenses was related to administrative payroll. The payroll was reduced by approximately $1,236,000 and benefits related to that expense was reduced by approximately $252,000. The
largest payroll reductions were in corporate support. In addition to the payroll reduction there were many other expense reductions throughout the company during the year ended December 31, 2013, Rent and utilities were reduced by approximately
$404,000, Tools and Repairs and Maintenance were reduced by $147,000, Travel was reduced by approximately $131,000, and several other expenses were reduced by approximately $456,000. In addition, there was a very large reduction due to the
amortization of intangible assets in 2012 amounting to $1,280,000. There was no amortization in 2013 as all amortizable intangible assets were impaired and written down for their entire value at the end of 2012.
LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
Loss from operations for the year ended
December 31, 2013 totaled $5,716,449 or approximately 21.4% of net revenues as compared to $6,607,105, or approximately 18.1% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease in loss from operations of $890,656 or
approximately 13.5%. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to the decreases in operating expenses as previously discussed above.
OTHER
EXPENSES (INCOME)
Other expenses (income) for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $6,030,362 or approximately 16.1% of net revenues as compared
to other expenses (income) of $8,818,029, or approximately 24.1% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease in other expenses (income) of $2,787,667 or approximately 31.6%. The primary reason for this decrease is related
to a decrease in the expense related to the impairment of Tyrees goodwill and
43
intangible assets. Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets totaled $1,758,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $8,261,900, a decrease in impairment of goodwill and
intangible assets of $6,503,900 or approximately 78.7%
NET LOSS
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $9,988,811 as compared to $15,425,134 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease in net
loss of $5,436,324 or approximately 35.2%. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the decrease in operating expenses and the decrease in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as discussed above.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
NET REVENUES
Net revenues for the year ended December 31,
2012 totaled $36,559,923 as compared to $45,311,720 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $8,751,797 or approximately 19.3%. The decrease in revenues in 2012 can primarily be attributable to loss of revenues from GPMI due to its
bankruptcy and Green Valleys cessation of business. Revenues by operating division for the year ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

COST OF REVENUES
Cost of
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $31,188,583 or approximately 85.3% of net revenues as compared to $35,936,431, or 79.3% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The primary reason for the cost of revenue increase was due
to the loss of Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. and an increase in business with Cumberland Farms for the year ended December 31, 2012. The gross profit margin on Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc.s business was approximately 30% on fixed fee
maintenance and approximately 17% on time and materials maintenance for the year ended December 31, 2011. By comparison, Tyrees second largest customer was Cumberland Farms which had a gross profit margin below 5%. When Tyree terminated
its contract with Cumberland Farms at the end of 2012, additional charge backs were incurred that brought the gross profit for the year to a negative margin.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
SG&A expenses
for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $11,978,445, or approximately 32.8% of net revenues compared to $16,280,658, or approximately 35.9% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease in operating expenses of
4,302,213 or approximately 26.4%. The largest reduction in expenses was related to administrative payroll. The payroll was reduced by $2,361,000 and benefits related to that expense was reduced by $230,000. The largest payroll reductions were in
corporate support, equipment division and construction. In addition to the payroll reduction there were many smaller expense reductions throughout the company during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $6,607,105 or approximately 18.1% of net revenues as compared to $6,905,368, or
approximately 15.2% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease in loss from operations of $298,263 or approximately 4.3%. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to the decreases in operating expenses as
previously discussed above.
OTHER EXPENSES (INCOME)
Other
expenses (income) for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $8,818,029 or approximately 24.1% of net revenues as compared to other expenses (income) of $832,449, or approximately 1.8% of net revenues for the year ended December 31,
2011, an increase in other expenses (income) of $7,985,580. The primary reason for this increase is related to the impairment of Tyrees goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with a projected year over year decrease in net revenues for
the year ended December 31, 2013 of approximately $8.2 million.
NET LOSS
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $15,425,134 as compared to $7,737,817 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase in net
loss of $7,687,317 or approximately 99.3%. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the factors noted above.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF
ESTIMATES
Our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated or combined
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our consolidated or combined financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us
to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts and classification of revenues and expenses during the periods presented,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and material changes in these estimates or assumptions could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded on the period
in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations, and financial condition because
they involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated or combined financial statements. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires a judgment or accounting estimate to be made based on
assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, and if different estimates that
45
could have been used, or if changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. Other significant
accounting policies, primarily those with lower levels of uncertainty than those discussed below, are also critical to understanding our consolidated or combined financial statements. The notes to our consolidated or combined financial statements
contain additional information related to our accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this discussion.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP).
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amincor, Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the Company).
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the valuation of goodwill
and intangible assets, the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment, allowances for doubtful accounts and inventory obsolescence, completion of contracts and loss contingencies on
particular uncompleted contracts and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
BPI
Revenue is recognized from product sales
when goods are delivered to the BPIs shipping dock, and are made available for pick-up by the customer, at which point title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Customer sales discounts are accounted for as reductions in revenues in the
same period the related sales are recorded.
TYREE
Maintenance and repair services for several retail petroleum customers are performed under multi-year, unit price contracts (Tyree Contracts).
Under these agreements, the customer pays a set price per contracted retail location per month and Tyree provides a defined scope of maintenance and repair services at these locations on an on-call or as scheduled basis. Revenue earned under Tyree
Contracts is recognized each month at the prevailing per location unit price. Revenue from other maintenance and repair services is recognized as these services are rendered.
Tyree uses the percentage-of-completion method on construction services, measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to estimated total costs
for each contract. This method is used because management considers costs to date to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
46
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which overall contract losses
become probable. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. These revisions are recognized in the period in which it
is probable that the customer will approve the variation and the amount of revenue arising from the revision can be reliably measured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when negotiations have reached an
advance stage such that it is probable that the customer will accept the claim and the amount can be measured reliably.
The asset account Costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.
The liability
account, Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
AWWT
AWWT provides water remediation and logistics services for
its clients which include any business that produces waste water. AWWT invoices clients based on bills of lading which specify the quantity and type of water treated. Revenue is recognized as water remediation services are performed.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable represents amounts due
from customers and is reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on managements estimate of the amount of receivables that will actually be collected after analyzing the credit worthiness
of its customers and historical experience, as well as the prevailing business and economic environment. Accounts are written off when significantly past due and after exhaustive efforts at collection. Recoveries of accounts receivables previously
written off are recorded as income when subsequently collected.
Tyrees accounts receivable for maintenance and repair services and construction
contracts are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Tyree, BPI, and AWWT extend unsecured credit to customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigate the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing
past due accounts. Tyree follows the practice of filing statutory mechanics liens on construction projects where collection problems are anticipated.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
An allowance for loan losses is
established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. A loan is determined to be non-accrual when it is probable that scheduled payments of principal and interest will not be received when
due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all accrued yet uncollected interest is reversed from income. Payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied to the outstanding
principal balance. Loans are removed from non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower will resume making the payments required by the loan agreement.
47
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Market is determined based on the net realizable value with
appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels and other market factors. An inventory reserve is recorded if the carrying amount of the inventory exceeds its estimated market value.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are
stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the asset or the lease
term.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or
retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
PROPERTY HELD FOR INVESTMENT
Property held for investment
consists of property in Pelham Manor, New York. The value of the property is based on the fair value of the property.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the cost of acquiring a business that exceeds the net fair value ascribed to its identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangibles are not subject to amortization but are tested for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances change, such as a significant adverse change in the economic climate that would make it more likely than not
that impairment may have occurred. If the carrying value of goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
Intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Finite-lived tangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the expected useful lives of the respective assets.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We
assess recoverability by determining whether the net book value of the related asset will be recovered through the projected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the asset may not be
recoverable, it measures any impairment based on the assets fair value as compared to the assets carrying value.
48
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Financial instruments and certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at their fair value as determined based on the assets highest and best use.
GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy which requires that the valuation technique used be based on the most objective inputs available for measuring a particular asset or liability. There are three
broad levels in the fair value hierarchy which describe the degree of objectivity of the inputs used to determine the fair value. The fair value hierarchy is set forth as below:
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology and quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs to the
valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs.
The fair value of all of the Companys financial instruments is approximately the same as their carrying amounts.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
All share-based awards are measured
based on their grant date fair values and are charged to expenses over the period during which the required services are provided in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Share-based awards are subject to specific vesting conditions.
Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period based on the grant date fair value of the awards and the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has implemented
all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect that are applicable. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated or combined financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that
there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
