If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:

 

PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION 

 

US Lighting Group, Inc.

 

Full Name of Registrant

  

 

Former Name if Applicable

 

 

1148 East 222nd Street

 

Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)

 

Euclid, Ohio 44117

 

City, State and Zip Code

  

 

 

  

PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c) 

 

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense; 
     
(b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN, or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q, or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed date; and
     
¨ (c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

PART III — NARRATIVE 

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

US Lighting Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021 (the “10-Q”) within the prescribed time period on or before August 16, 2021 without unreasonable effort and expense. The inability of the Company to meet this filing deadline is the result of several factors relating to the recent arrest of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Paul Spivak, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 11, 2021. As a result of this arrest, the Company’s computer systems and paper records were confiscated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as part of its investigation, creating increased difficulty for the Company to timely prepare its financial statements for the 10-Q. Additionally, the arrest of Mr. Spivak necessitated significant changes in the Company’s management, including a new Chief Executive Officer, President, and Secretary, and the election of two new directors of the Company, as disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 12, 2021). While the new management of the Company is diligently working to prepare the disclosure required for the 10-Q, management is unable to prepare such disclosure by the August 16, 2021 deadline without unreasonable effort or expense.

  

The registrant anticipates that it will file the 10-Q no later than August 21, 2021.  The Company expects to have a significant change in its results of operations compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

ATTACHMENT A

to

Form 12b-25

of

US Lighting Group, Inc.

  

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 19, 2021, on May 14, 2021, the Company and Intellitronix Corporation, the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Ohio INTX Cooperative, a State of Ohio cooperative association, to sell certain assets of Intellitronix Corporation. The Asset Purchase Agreement and related sale was finalized on May 14, 2021 with a sale price of $4,520,000.00.

 

The following is a narrative and quantitative explanation of the anticipated change in results of operations from the corresponding periods for the last fiscal year as a result of the transaction described above, and is being included to provide a reasonable estimation of the Company’s anticipated changes in results of operations. The content of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021 filed by the Company may differ from the information below.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020

   

Sales

 

Total Sales decreased by $289,000 (35%) to $542,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $831,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in sales is attributed to the sale of operational assets of Intellitronix Corp. on May 14, 2021, which resulted in the loss of revenue generated from Intellitronix Corp. after May 14, 2021 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company does not expect to receive any further revenues from the operations of Intellitronix Corp. after the sale of its assets on May 14, 2021.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold decreased by $181,000 (49%) to $190,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $371,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in costs of goods sold was primarily attributable to decreased sales, as described above.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses, and product development costs.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $502,000 (111%) to $955,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $453,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to sales commissions expenses, including a legal settlement of $150,000 related to a lawsuit against Intellitronix Corporation for alleged nonpayment of manufacturer’s representation commissions (which was accrued on June 30, 2021 and paid on July 29, 2021) and a commission of $212,000 to a business broker on the sale of the assets of Intellitronix Corporation and increased legal expenses.  

 

Product development costs decreased by $106,000 (75%) to $36,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $142,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in product development costs is primarily attributable a focus on fewer new products with higher margins.

 

Loss from Operations

 

Loss from operations increased to approximately $639,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss from operations of $135,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in loss from operations was due to a loss of revenue resulting from the sale of the assets of Intellitronix, which at the time of the sale was a significant source of revenue generation for the Company, along with increased operating expenses, as discussed above.

Other Expense

 

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $4,092,000, as compared to other expense of $60,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The large increase in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year was the sale of assets of Intellitronix Corporation to Ohio INTX Cooperative on May 14, 2021 with a sale price of $4,520,000.00. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a gain on disposal of assets of $3,915,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded lease income of $24,000, including sublease income from a related party of $15,000, an unrealized gain of $204,000 and dividend and interest income of $2,000. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $53,000, as compared to $60,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Net Loss

 

Net income was $3,453,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of $195,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change from a net loss to net income is primarily due to the recognition of other income as discussed above.

Sales

 

Sales decreased by $76,000 (5%) to $1,486,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1,562,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease in sales is attributed to the sale of operational assets of Intellitronix Corp. on May 14, 2021, which resulted in the loss of revenue generated from Intellitronix Corp. after May 14, 2021 during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold decreased by $14,000 (2%) to $596,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $610,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in costs of goods sold was primarily attributable to decreased sales.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in sales commissions expenses, including a legal settlement of $150,000 related to a lawsuit against Intellitronix Corporation for alleged nonpayment of manufacturer’s representation commissions (which was accrued on June 30, 2021 and paid on July 29, 2021) and a commission of $212,000 to a business broker on the sale of the assets of Intellitronix Corporation and increased legal expenses.
