Conforce International Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 

 
 
1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company has developed a polymer based composite flooring system for the transportation industry trademarked under the name EKO-FLOR through its 100% owned subsidiary Conforce Container Corporation.  The composite flooring product has been designed to provide an environmentally friendly product to increase ocean-going container and highway trailer performance while reducing overall costs.

The Company was incorporated on May 18, 2004 in the state of Delaware as Now Marketing Corp. and was renamed Conforce International, Inc. on May 25, 2005.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company incorporated two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Conforce Holdings, Inc. and Conforce USA, Inc.  Both subsidiaries were incorporated in the State of Delaware.

 
2.
GOING CONCERN

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applicable to a 'going concern', which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.  For the three month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company had net cash outflows from operations of $370,111 and incurred a net loss of $492,421.  As at June 30, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,813,412.  The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, or if necessary, secure additional debt or equity financing.

Management regularly reviews and considers the current and forecasted activities of the Company in order to satisfy itself as to the viability of continued operations. These ongoing reviews include consideration of current orders and future business opportunities, current development and production activities, customer and supplier exposure and forecasted cash requirements and balances.  Based on these evaluations, management of the Company believes that as a result of the reductions in overhead that have been initiated, combined with the available cash on hand, and projected sales, the Company will have sufficient funds to operate for the next 12 months.  However, should these sales not materialize, the Company will need to consider alternate sources of funding through private equity placement, debt financing instruments, or joint venture partnerships in order to operate beyond calendar 2012. Currently, the Company does not have any such arrangements in place.  As a result, the Company will rely heavily on its ability to meet its projected sales targets in order to satisfy its financial requirements for continued operations. Based on the foregoing considerations, Management is of the opinion that the Company remains a going concern and should be accounted for on this basis.

There can be no assurances that the Company's activities will be successful or sufficient and as a result there is doubt regarding the "going concern" assumption and, accordingly, the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the "going concern" assumption was not appropriate.  If the "going concern" assumption was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and the balance sheet classifications, which could be material, would be necessary.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and are presented in US dollars, unless otherwise noted. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for interim periods. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012.   These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which eliminates the option of reporting other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. Upon adoption of ASU 2011-05, comprehensive income will either be reported in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Since ASU 2011-05 only relates to presentation of comprehensive income, the Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have any impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 simplifies how a company is required to test goodwill for impairment. Companies will now have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If after considering the totality of events and circumstances an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendment was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. Currently the Company does not have any goodwill.

 
5.
TERM LOAN
 
In November 2008, the company entered into a loan agreement in the amount of CAD $ 250,000 under the Canada Small Business Financing Act for the purchase of machinery and equipment to be used in the manufacturing of the composite flooring.  The loan is secured with a first charge on the equipment purchased and a CAD $62,500 personal guarantee provided by the CEO.

The term of the loan is ten years with interest at a floating rate of prime + 3%.  The minimum blended payments due over the next 5 years and thereafter, assuming, the floating interest rate remains constant at the current rate of 6.00% are as follows:

LOAN

During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company received, from the City of Peru and Miami County, a financial incentive to locate its production facility in Peru, Indiana.  This incentive is in the form of an interest free, forgivable loan in the amount of $500,000 and certain property tax abatements.  Under the terms of the incentive, the Company was required to raise additional equity capital of not less than $5.0 million for the establishment of the Peru production facility, acquire the land and building relating to the manufacturing facility, purchase or deliver equipment to be used in the manufacturing facility and agree to hire a minimum of 55 and 110 full time employees within 12 and 24 months from the commencement of production, respectively.  

The minimum employee levels have not been achieved, resulting in the Company potentially becoming ineligible for certain anticipated property tax abatements on improvements to the real estate or on equipment used in the production facility to which it may have otherwise been entitled.  Consequently, an estimate of the property tax expense has been accrued.

If the Company abandons the production facility within the first 5 years of operation, the Company will be required to repay a proportionate amount of the forgivable loan.  If the facility is not abandoned during the first 5 years the loan is completely forgiven.   The Company continues to operate the facility and accordingly $25,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 (2011:  nil) has been recorded as a gain on the forgivable loan and $100,000 is recorded as a current liability.

Less discount to fair value
    (679,847 )     (713,503 )
    $ 1,152,515     $ 1,154,827  

The amounts due to related parties arise from cash advances the shareholder and other related parties made to the Company for the purchase of machinery and equipment, primarily relating to the development of the composite flooring product and to fund ongoing operating activities.

The amounts due to shareholder and amounts due to related party are unsecured and non-interest bearing.  The loans were advanced in different increments depending on the needs of the Company and repayment is not permitted for a minimum period of 10 years from the original date of each advance and not earlier than April 2017.  Given the long term nature of these loans, each time an amount is advanced by a related party, a fair value calculation has been recorded with the discount on the loan being charged to contributed surplus.   The discount to fair value assumes repayment will be made on the 10th anniversary of the advance or April 2017, whichever is earlier and with imputed interest charged at rates between 6.25% and 8.75%.   The imputed interest rate is calculated at Prime + 4% at the time of the advance.   Imputed interest for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $20,160 (2011: $19,557).

During the course of the quarter, the Company incurred a charge of $750 for services provided by Conforce 1 Container Terminals Inc., an entity owned by Conforce International CEO, Marino Kulas. The cost for the services provided is considered market rate.

As at June 30, 2012, there were no amounts due or payable to related parties other than the related party loans previously detailed.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt instruments including related party loans payable and a forgivable loan. The carrying values of financial instruments, other than debt instruments, are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments excluding related party loans are considered to approximate their fair values because the interest rates of these instruments are variable or comparable to current rates offered to the Company.
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company has determined that there were no assets or liabilities that fall into the “Level 1” category, which values assets at the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company has determined that there were no assets or liabilities that fall into the “Level 2” category, which values assets and liabilities from observable inputs other than quoted market prices. The Company’s related party loans fall into “Level 3” category, which values assets and liabilities from inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources.  The fair value of the Company’s related party loans have been determined by discounting the loans based on inputs from the Company’s other debt instruments and expensing the imputed interest over a range of periods of up to 10 years after the initial related party advance, although not before April 2017.  The value of the Company’s related party loans totalled $1,152,515 as of June 30, 2012 and $1,154,827 as of March 31, 2012.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS
 
In fiscal 2013, the Company’s primary focus will be the commercialization of EKO-FLOR. Expansion for Conforce is expected to come primarily from sales of EKO-FLOR cs-4 and xts in calendar 2012, 2013 and beyond where the Company believes that significant growth potential exists with the introduction of composite flooring to the transportation industry.

The Company expects to ramp-up production of its EKO-FLOR xts trailer panels at its manufacturing facility in Peru, Indiana in August 2012. The Company also intends to establish an EKO-FLOR manufacturing facility in China. To do so, the Company would require financing between USD $15 - $20 million. Currently, there is no such financing in place, nor are there any preliminary or final term sheets or agreements in place in support of such financing. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of United States GAAP applicable to a 'going concern', which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. For the three month period ended June 30, 2012 the Company had net cash outflows from operations of $370,111 and incurred a loss of $492,421.  As at June 30, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,813,412.  The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, or if necessary secure additional debt or equity financing.

The Company currently has available approximately $1.0 million to establish the Peru Indiana facility as a commercial operation and maintain ongoing business operations.  The Company believes that as a result of the reductions in overhead that have been initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, combined with the available cash on hand, and projected sales, the Company will have sufficient funds to operate for the next 12 months. However, should these sales not materialize, the Company will need to consider alternate sources of funding through private equity placement, debt financing instruments, or joint venture partnerships in order to operate beyond calendar 2012. Currently, there are no such arrangements in place, nor are there any preliminary or final term sheets or agreements in place in support of such funding. 
 
The Company does not currently have any outstanding credit lines or letters of credit.  Conforce does have a business development loan through a government sponsored program in the amount of $169,335 due January 2019.  The loan was made through the small business development loan program (SBL) and is limited in its use to the purchases of equipment.  Funds from the loan have been used to finance a portion of the production equipment in the Company’s development and production facility in Concord, Ontario and such equipment has been used as collateral for the loan.  Under the rules governing SBLs, in the event the Company defaults on the loan, the Company is only responsible for repayment of an amount equal to 25% of the total funds advanced.

During May 2011, the Company received $500,000 in incentive financing to locate its production facility in Peru, Indiana.  This incentive payment was received in the form of a forgivable loan along with certain property tax abatements.  Under the terms of the incentive, the Company was required to raise additional equity capital of not less than $5.0 million for the establishment of the Peru production facility, acquire the land and buildings relating to the manufacturing facility, purchase or deliver equipment to be used in the manufacturing facility and agree to hire a minimum of 55 full time employees within 12 months and 110 employees within 24 months of the of the commencement of production.  

The minimum employment thresholds have not been achieved, resulting in the Company potentially becoming ineligible for certain anticipated property tax abatements on improvements to the real estate or on equipment used in the production facility to which it may have otherwise been entitled.  Consequently, an estimate of the property tax expense has been accrued.

 
12

 
 
If the Company abandons the production facility within the first 5 years of operation, the Company will be required to repay a proportionate amount of the forgivable loan.  If the facility is not abandoned during the first 5 years of operation, the loan will be completely forgiven.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
INTERIM PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE INTERIM PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

The Company did not generate revenues during the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 or June 30, 2011.  For the three months ended June 30, 2012, management has focused its efforts on retooling the Peru Indiana facility for improved processing, panel performance, and to satisfy customer requirements.

Management, administrative and production supervision staff were reduced to a minimum during the process of retooling in order to reduce the burden on cash resources.  Production is expected to begin in or around August of 2012.
 
General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and wages, professional fees and consultants, office supplies, travel and utilities.  For the three months ended June 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses were $372,086, compared with $461,218 for the same period in 2011.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses is due to the reduced staffing during the retooling period noted above.

Research and development for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $30,390 compared with $111,150 for the same period in 2011.  The decrease in research and development was primarily the result of reduced activities during the retooling period described above. In previous periods, trial production runs were charged as research and development expenses in cases where the product could not be sold to customers.  The retooling resulted in a significant reduction in trial testing.

Stock based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $16,836 compared with $6,304 for the same period in 2011.  The increase in stock based compensation is due to the expensing of option grants issued in the prior year.  No new options were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Amortization of property, plant and equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $100,165 compared with $38,708 for the same period in 2011.  The increase is attributable to the additional equipment that was purchased during the year ended March 31, 2012 for use in Indiana.  It is expected that amortization will stabilize in the coming quarters until such time as the business is in a position to expand operations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company expensed $20,160 for the imputed interest on related party loans compared with $19,557 for the same period in 2011.  This slight increase is attributable to the compounding effect of the imputed interest.  There have been no new additions to related party loans.    The related party loans payable are unsecured and interest free and have a fair value calculated using an imputed interest rate of between 6.25% and 8.75% depending on the timing of the advance.  The imputed interest rate is calculated at Prime + 4%.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that would be considered material to investors.

LIABILITIES

The Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $249,009 at June 30, 2012 compared with $326,052 at March 31, 2012, a decrease of $77,043.  This decrease is consistent with the reduced business activity during the retooling of the Indiana facility.
 
In November 2008, the company entered into a loan agreement in the amount of CAD $250,000 under the Canada Small Business Financing Act for the purchase of machinery and equipment to be used in the manufacturing of the composite flooring.  The loan is secured with a first charge on the equipment purchased and a CAD $62,500 personal guarantee provided by the CEO.  As at June 30, 2012, there was an outstanding balance of USD $169,335 on this loan.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had related party loans payable of $1,152,515 compared with $1,154,827 for the year ended March 31, 2012.   The change is attributable to the increased amount owing from the imputed interest charge, offset by the effects of foreign exchange as the amounts due are denominated in Canadian dollars.  The related party loans payable are unsecured and interest free and are expected to be repaid 10 years after the original advance but not before April 2017 with an imputed interest rate of between 6.25% and 8.75%.   Given the long term nature of these loans, each time an amount is advanced by a related party, a fair value calculation has been recorded with the discount on the loan being charged to contributed surplus.

The face value of the related party loans payable as at June 30, 2012 is $1,832,362 compared with $1,868,330 as at March 31, 2012.   The decrease in the face value of the related party loans is due to the translation of the Canadian dollar loans into the U.S. Dollar functional currency during a weakening of the foreign exchange rate of the US currency relative to the Canadian.

The imputed interest for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was $20,160 compared with $19,557 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable as Conforce is a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of June 30, 2012, the Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e).

The CEO and Acting CFO have concluded, based on this evaluation, that as at the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to internal control weaknesses as discussed below:

Identification of a Material Weakness
 
Management has identified a lack of accounting procedures to capture manufacturing and production information to effectively and efficiently record the conversion of raw materials into finished goods.  In addition, the Company does not have sufficient technical accounting expertise, specifically there is not a permanent CFO or other senior accounting position.

There have not been any changes to the company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting due to the limitation of funding and the requirement to re-tool the Peru facility.
