ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

Recent Developments Related to the COVID-19 Outbreak

 

All of the disclosures set forth in Item 1 below should be read in the context of the recent COVID-19 related developments discussed immediately below.  All of the disclosures recited in “Recent Developments Related to the COVID-19 Outbreak” are as of the date of this filing.

 

The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic has and may continue to negatively affect our operations depending on the severity and longevity of the pandemic.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains, and businesses as well as the global financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in in social distancing, travel bans, and quarantine measures, which have limited access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff, and professional advisors. These factors, in turn, have impacted and may continue to impact our operations, financial condition, and demand for our goods and services as well as our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered and may continue to hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the SEC. Depending on the severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic, our business, customers, and shareholders may continue to experience a significant negative impact.

 

With the vaccination of multiple employees and as the State of California reduces restrictions, our sales, administrative, and accounting employees have returned to our main office. We are continuing our extended cleaning efforts and restrictions on the number of customers allowed inside the facility at a time. Shop employees are servicing contracts with our essential customers and are often traveling to do so. All employees are practicing social distancing.

 

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we received the following financial assistance from the Small Business Administration (SBA):

 

  (1) $228,442 under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program 442 to cover payroll and utility expenses. We received 100% forgiveness of this loan;
     
  (2) $150,000 under the COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan. On April 7, 2021 we received email notification of an increase in this loan from $150,000 to $500,000. That same day, we submitted our request for the increase; and

     
  (3) $254,147 under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program – Round 2 442 to cover payroll and utility expenses. We believe we are following the government guidelines and tracking costs to ensure 100% forgiveness of the loan;

General

 

The following is a summary of some of the information contained in this document. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this document to “our Company,” “us,” “we,” “our,” “AmeraMex,” or the “Company” are to AmeraMex International, Inc.

 

Organization

 

We were originally incorporated as Hamre Equipment Company, Inc. in California on November 17, 1989. We merged into AmeraMex International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on November 2, 2006.

 

Objectives

 

Continue to develop and expand the availability of our products to the heavy equipment industry;

 

Expand online, direct, wholesale, and government sales (both domestic and international); and

 

Expand our construction equipment division.

 

Description of Business and Principal Products or Services

 

We sell, lease, and rent heavy equipment to companies within five industries:

 

  1. Construction (light and infrastructure);

 

  2. Shipping logistics;

 

  3. Mining;

 

  4. Commercial farming; and

 

  5. Forestry.

 

With customers in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia, and Africa, we have over 30 years of experience in heavy equipment sales and service and inventories of top-of-the-line equipment from manufacturers such as Taylor Machine Works Inc., ASV and Terex Heavy Equipment.

 

Our parts warehouse contains a sizeable heavy equipment parts inventory, ensuring that we have the necessary parts on hand to maintain and repair all lines of represented equipment. Our in-house and field technicians solve service needs to get equipment back on the job as quickly as possible.

 

Our service facility is equipped with overhead cranes, a paint shop, and a welding-fabricating shop. The facility includes modern, specialized tools and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Our service staff has access to manufacturers’ technical specifications to speed repairs.

 

Distribution Network

 

We sell, lease, and rent heavy equipment to a wide variety of industries, including construction, mining, infrastructure, logging, logistics, transportation, and commercial farming. We are authorized dealers for manufacturers such as Taylor Machine Works, Terex Heavy Equipment, Barko Hydraulics, Genie, and Menzi Muck.

 

We acquire used equipment for resale through trade-ins from our customers, returned customer leases, and selective purchases. We also sell parts and provide repair and maintenance services directly to customers at our Northern California location.

 

Hamre Heavy Haul, one of our divisions, operates a fleet of heavy haul equipment which includes a fleet of Kenworth trucks and Cozad heavy haulers to transport heavy equipment for our purchase and lease customers as well as others throughout the United States.

 

 5 

 

Our end-user base is diverse and fragmented, including, among others, light and heavy manufacturers, trucking and automotive companies, rental companies, building materials and paper suppliers, lumber, metal products, warehouses, retailers, food distributors, container handling companies, and domestic and foreign government agencies.


 

 

We obtain new customers in several different ways:

 

●Current customer referrals;

 

●Website;

 

●Billboard advertisements;

 

●Company location where our inventory yard is highly visible from the freeway;

 

●Monitoring government websites, bidding on jobs and winning contracts; and

 

●Authorized equipment maker referrals.

 

Governmental Regulation

 

We are subject to numerous federal, state, and local rules and regulations, including regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and similar state agencies with respect to storing, shipping, disposing, discharging, and manufacturing hazardous materials and hazardous and non-hazardous waste. These activities are associated with the repair and maintenance of our equipment and customers’ equipment. Compliance with these rules and regulations has not had any material effect on our operations, nor do we expect it to in the future. Further, we have not made, and do not anticipate making, any material capital expenditures in compliance with environmental regulations. However, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be accurate, particularly if regulations change, unforeseen incidents occur or unknown past contamination or non-compliance is discovered, among other similar events.

 

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we did not have more than $1,070,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of December 31, 2020, our last fiscal year.

 

We may lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year during which (i) our annual gross revenue exceeds $1,070,000,000 or (ii) we issue more than $1,070,000,000 in non-convertible debt in a three-year period. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company if at any time we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer. We will lose our status as an emerging growth company on the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable to generally reporting companies. These provisions include:

 

● a requirement to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in a public offering registration statement;
   
● an exemption to provide less than five years of selected financial data in a public offering registration statement;
   
● an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting;
   
● an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies; and
   
● an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit partner rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer;

History

 

We have grown from a used forklift dealer in Northern California to the owner and operator of a multi-million dollar fleet of heavy equipment for sale, lease, or rent to companies in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia, and Africa.

 

We have three business units:

 

1. Hamre Equipment;

2. Hamre Heavy Haul; and

3. Hamre Parts & Service.

 

These units are authorized dealers for well-known equipment manufacturers and carry a large inventory of heavy equipment and Hamre Parts & Service includes a complete maintenance organization with a large parts inventory and service department.

 

We supply heavy equipment to many different industries. Currently, the majority of our revenue is from the sales of new and refurbished container handlers to portside logistics companies. In addition to this line of work, we have an extensive equipment inventory for infrastructure development. Growing demand for infrastructure development typically calls for equipment to be rented, rather than purchased, allowing us to maximize the use of our inventory.

 

The Hamre Heavy Haul business unit includes a customized fleet of heavy haul equipment and was initially formed to transfer heavy equipment for us, however, in recent years, we have expanded this unit to market our heavy haul services to third-party companies throughout the United States.

 

Strategy

 

We have a clearly defined strategy to find opportunities that expand our reach within the United States and internationally. We now have customers in over 12 countries. As we continue to sell new equipment to U.S. customers, we purchase older equipment from well-respected brands that may not meet EPA Tier III requirements in the U.S., and refurbish the equipment to like-new condition. The equipment is sold AS IS with NO warranty agreement. The equipment is then marketed internationally. Our target markets for sales of new and refurbished equipment are:

 

  • Canada

  • Indonesia

  • Pakistan

  • Germany

  • Singapore

  • Vietnam

  • China

  • Russia

  • India

  • The Middle East

  • West Africa

  • Central America

  • Mexico

 

Opportunities

 

We believe the demand for leased or rented equipment is growing. Companies within the construction and logistics industries hesitate to purchase equipment that may become idle if related markets weaken. Additionally, the cost of many types of heavy-duty equipment and container handlers has increased substantially because of new federal emission control standards. Due to these and other concerns, many companies forgo purchasing and instead rent or lease needed equipment.

 

Internationally, our ongoing expansion, specifically within Western Africa, allows us to take advantage of the improving global infrastructure construction market and the increased import and export of natural resources. We have already established marketing opportunities within the governments of several West African countries.

The current trade issues with China have no bearing on our business or current plans. However, trade issues between the United States and China are constantly evolving and the future could bring about potential negative impacts on our business, including increased costs and higher prices.

 

Market

 

Our market is highly competitive and constantly changing. Commercial success is frequently dependent upon capital availability, the effectiveness and sufficiency of which are very difficult to accurately predict. It is one of the principal economic risks of companies in our industry.

 

According to the “Heavy Construction Equipment Market Will Reach $90.4 Billion by 2025,” published by Grand View Research in January 2019/2020 (the “Construction Equipment Report”): The global heavy construction equipment market size is expected to reach $90.4 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 5.4%. Increased investment of infrastructure will be a major factor in driving market growth.

 

Competition

 

There are a large number of companies and individuals engaged in the provision of construction equipment; accordingly, there is a high degree of competition in our industry. Many of the companies and individuals with whom we compete have substantially greater technical, personnel, and financial resources than us. In view of our limited financial resources, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

 

According to the Construction Equipment Report, global vendors such as Caterpillar, Komatsu Ltd., and AB Volvo are some of the leading market players in the heavy equipment industry. These vendors dominate the market in terms of technology, experience, and quality.

 

A rise in prominence of Chinese vendors in the industry has been observed in the last few years. Manufacturers in China have capitalized on government-funded infrastructure projects and are continuously evolving and in some circumstances, acquiring European vendors.

 

Some other key players in the market for heavy duty construction equipment are Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., Liebherr, Deere & Company, Doosan Bobcat, XCMG Group, SANY Group, and Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co. Ltd.

 

Amount Spent on Research and Development

 

None.

 

Employees

 

As of the date hereof, we have 19 full time and 2 part time employees. In addition to our employees, we utilize various consultants and contractors for other services on an as-needed basis.

 

FINRA Corporate Action/Information Statement on Form 14C

 

On December 21, 2020, we effected a one for fifty (1:50) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). To effect the Reverse Stock Split, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Reverse Stock Split was approved by our Board of Directors on September 9, 2020 and by our stockholders on September 11, 2020, by a written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders.

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 50 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding was reduced from 753,415,879 shares to 15,068,317 shares. There was no change to the number of authorized shares.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all share and per share amounts included in this Annual Report reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock Split.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2020

 

We had revenues of $24,721,838 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to revenue of $12,279,120 for the year ended December 31, 2020, a 101% increase. This increase is attributed to the conversion of six machines from long-term rent to sales, a multi-machine purchase by one of our long-term customers, the momentum our industry has experience since the re-opening of the State of California after the pandemic and the reduced interest rates our customers have secured while obtaining financing.

 

We had costs of revenue of $19,694,075 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to costs of $10,509,656 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our costs increased by $9,184,419, or 87%. This increase is as a result of purchasing significantly more machines to meet the demand.

 

We experienced an increase in operating expenses of $1,863,797 in 2021 as compared to $1,828,073 in 2020. This is an increase of approximately 2% in operating expenses. However, if we remove the legal settlement that caused the higher operating costs in 2020, the increase year over year is 33%. The majority of this increase is made up from selling expenses which were almost double when comparing the two years. This is consistent with the increase in Total Sales numbers.

 

We had net profit of $1,631,747 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to net loss of $582,690 for the year ended December 31, 2010. We had an increase of $2,214,437 in our net income due to the record-breaking sales made in 2021 fiscal year.

 

Sales of Equipment and Other Revenues in 2021 were $22,253,695 and made up 90% of our Total Revenues and in 2020 made up $9,665,607, or 79%, of Total Revenues. The remaining portion of Total Revenues, Rentals and Leases, was $2,468,143, or 10%, in 2021 and in 2020, Rentals and Leases made up 21% of Total Revenues and totaled $2,631,172.

 

Gross profit on Sales of Equipment and Other Revenues in 2021 increased from $98,905 in 2020 to $3,375,450 in 2021. During the first six months of 2020, we had significantly lower labor and hauling revenue due to the Pandemic. While business improved during the last six months of 2020, we couldn’t make up the deficit of the first six months. However, we had record-breaking sales all throughout 2021 as Pandemic-related restrictions eased and lifted, and the country better adapted to the effects of COVID-19.

 

From 2020 to 2021, Sales of Equipment and Other Revenues increased $12,588,088, or 130% while during the same period Rentals and Leases decreased $145,370, or 6%. In 2021, while we did obtain new rental contracts throughout the year, six rental contracts were converted to sales which accounts for the decrease year over year in Rental Revenue. At the same time, Equipment Sales were at record highs compared to the record lows of 2020 due to the Global Pandemic.

 

We experienced an increase in operating expenses from $1,863,797 in 2021 as compared to $1,828,073 in 2020. This increase of approximately 2% in operating expenses is a result of the combined record sales for 2021 and of the Global Pandemic and a one-time legal settlement liability of 2020.

 

From 2020 to 2021, our Interest Expense decreased from $1,047,330 to $943,442. This decrease is due in part to the reduction in debt incurred and reduced interest rates tied to financing.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no 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.

Payments for Rental Equipment as of the end of 2020 was $611,830 and as of the end of 2021 was $724,070. Overall, Net Cash Used in Investing Activities as of the end of 2020 was $753,828 and $1,237,868 by the end of 2021.

 

We received Proceeds from Notes Payable as of December 31, 2020 of $4,594,871 and as of December 31, 2021, the amount was $2,503,698, a decrease of $2,091,173, which is a decrease of 46%. Payments on Notes Payable increased as of the end of 2021 to $3,369,531 from $2,191,602 at the end of 2020. This is an increase of $1,177,929, or 54%. There was a Joint Venture Liability (as further described in Note 9 to the Financial Statements) in 2021 for $297,000, this is a 1385% increase from $20,000 for 2020. In addition, the Net Borrowings under Lines of Credit as of the end of 2021 was $2,568,833 compared to $971,861 at the end of 2020, an increase of $1,596,972, which is 164%. Overall Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities went from $1,303,273 as of the end of 2020 to $(3,958,325) as of the end of 2021.

 

We expect to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations, and to continue to obtain financing for equipment purchases in the normal course of business.

 

Management may sell and lease equipment and obtain additional debt financing to acquire equipment and provide cash flow for operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

All companies are required to include a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of their financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

 14 

 

Our inventory consists of used equipment held for sale and includes parts and attachments. Our inventory is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost (specific identification or first in, first out basis) or the current market price of the inventory, less costs to sell. Our expenditures for transporting equipment to our facility and refurbishment costs, including parts and labor, are added to the value of the inventory and these costs are capitalized. Our management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and allowances are made to write down inventory to market value if market value is lower.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs for property and equipment and rental equipment are expensed as incurred. Any additional renewals and improvements to property and equipment and rental equipment, and which extend its useful life, are capitalized. When these assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs for the assets and the accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts. Any gain or loss is included in our operations. We depreciate these assets using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

 

Furniture and Fixtures   5-7 years
Leasehold Improvements   Estimated life of the asset as building is owned by Lee Hamre and leased on a month-to-month basis
Vehicles   3-5 years
Equipment   5-7 years
Rental equipment   5-7 years

 

For the impairment or disposal of our long-lived assets (assets expected to be kept for at least one year) used in operations, when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the type of asset are less than the asset’s carrying amounts, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Any loss on long-lived assets which are disposed are determined in a similar manner, however, the fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. In 2021 and 2020, we do not believe we had any impairment of our long-lived assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our primary source of generating revenue is through the sale and rental of heavy equipment. In accordance with accounting rules, we recognize revenue when the customer obtains control of the promised equipment and reflect what we are paid in exchange for the equipment. To determine our revenue recognition depending upon whether the equipment is sold or leased, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) calculate the transfer price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the customer satisfies a performance obligation. In the event any revenue does not meet these recognition criteria, such revenue will be deferred.

 

Equipment Sales – We recognize revenue from the sale of equipment upon delivery of the equipment to the customer and passing the risk of loss to the customer, and when we have no other significant obligations with regard to the equipment and collectability of the revenue from the customer is reasonably assured.

 

Equipment Rentals – Our rental revenues are made up of short-term agreements with monthly or annual terms. We recognize rental revenues in the month rental payments are due based upon the accrual method of accounting. Our equipment lease agreements contain varying terms, but typically range from one to five years for commercial entities. In addition to commercial entities, we also have lease agreements with various governments that have terms of 12 to 24 months and contain options to renew annually through five years. When lease terms are completed, and depending on the specific lease agreement, our customers may have the option to return the equipment, to renew the lease term, purchase the equipment at fair market value, or continue to rent the equipment on a month-to-month basis. Our agreements do not contain provisions for contingent rentals, which would allow rentals to cease or continue based upon certain defined events. Rental revenues for equipment leases are recognized upon receipt. Our initial direct costs for rental equipment are capitalized and amortized over the expected term of the applicable lease. To date, initial direct costs for operating leases have not been significant.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Stockholders and Board of Directors of AmeraMex International, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of AmeraMex International, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

AMERAMEX INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 and 2020

 

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Line of Business

 

AmeraMex International, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 29, 1990 under the laws of the state of Nevada. The Company sells, leases and rents new and refurbished heavy equipment primarily in the U.S. The Company operates under the name of Hamre Equipment.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Liquidity Considerations

 

On February 9, 2021, the Company received a second Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan in the amount of $254,147. We received 100% forgiveness of this PPP Loan on November 03, 2021. On April 6, 2021, we received notice that the SBA had increased the limit on the COVID EIDL from $150,000 to $500,000. We requested the increase which funded to an incorrect bank account on August 1, 2021. We have corrected this error with the SBA and are still awaiting funding.

 

Moving forward, we expect to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations, and we expect to continue to obtain financing for equipment purchases in the normal course of business. We believe that our expected cash flows from operations, together with our current and future credit facility, will be sufficient to operate in the normal course of business for next 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments.

 

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. Significant estimates in these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, valuation allowance for deferred taxes, and estimated useful life of property and equipment.

 

Cash

 

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. At times, cash deposits may exceed FDIC- insured limits. As of December 31, 2021, we exceeded the FDIC-insured limit by $745,222 and in 2020 we exceeded the FDIC-insured limit by $157,078.

 

The Company has not experienced any losses related to a concentration of cash or cash equivalents in an FDIC insured financial institution.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to customers under credit terms that it believes are customary in the industry and does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $33,093 and $120,569, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 and 2020

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of used equipment held for sale, as well as parts and attachments. Inventory is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost (specific identification or first in, first out basis) or the current market price of the inventory, less costs to sell. Expenditures for inbound transportation and refurbishment costs, including parts and labor which add to the value of the inventory are capitalized. Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and an allowance is made to write down inventory to market value, if lower.

 

Property and Equipment, and Rental Equipment

 

Property and equipment and rental equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and improvements, which extend the useful life of the assets, are capitalized. When these assets are 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 is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures 5-7 years
Leasehold improvements

Estimated life of the asset as building is owned by Lee Hamre and leased annually

Vehicles 3-5 years
Equipment 5-7 years
Rental equipment 5-7 years

 

 

Other Assets

 

Other assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 consist principally of cash surrender value of life insurance policies.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (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 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows: 

 

 23 

 

AMERAMEX INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 and 2020

 

●Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices 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, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive 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 use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenues primarily through the sale and rental of heavy equipment. In May 2014 and in subsequent updates, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended, and referred herein as ASC 606. ASC 606 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASC 606 requires that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASC 606 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, with no significant impact on our financial statements. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company deems are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) calculate transfer price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Any revenues that do not meet these recognition criteria will be deferred.

 

Equipment Sales

 

The Company recognizes revenue from equipment sales upon delivery of the equipment to the customer when the risk of loss passes to the customer and, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Equipment Rentals

 

Rental revenues comprise of short-term agreements that can have monthly or annual terms. Rental revenues are recognized in the month they are due on the accrual basis of accounting. Our operating lease agreements have varying terms, typically one to five years with commercial entities. We also have agreements governmental entities that are 12 to 24 months in length, with options to renew annually through year five. Upon lease termination, customers, depending in the individual lease agreements, may have the option to return the equipment, to renew the lease term, purchase the equipment at fair market value, or continue to rent on a month-to-month basis. Our operating leases do not provide for contingent rentals. Revenues related to operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Negotiated lease early-termination charges are recognized upon receipt. Initial direct costs are capitalized and amortized over the expected term of the leases. To date, initial direct costs for operating leases have not been insignificant.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 and 2020

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Costs incurred for shipping and handling of equipment sold to customers are included in costs of goods sold in the statements of income.

 

Sales Tax

 

Sales tax collected from customers is initially recorded as a liability and then remitted in a timely manner to the appropriate governmental entity.

 

Warranty Costs

 

Generally, the Company sells its equipment with no warranty. In the event we determine we should repair equipment, we may do so at our election. In the event a do so, such costs are expensed as incurred.

 

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. There were no stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and no shares issued for compensation during the years then ended.

 

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.

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 2021 and 2020.

 

Concentrations

 

At December 31, 2021, 59% of the accounts receivable was due from the Construction (14%), Logistics (22%) and Forestry (23%) industries and at December 31, 2020, 53% of the accounts receivable was due from the Government (12%), Forestry (15%) and Logistics (26%) industries. The loss of one of these customers would significantly impact the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 10% or more of sales and in 2020, three customers accounted for 10% or more of sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory, which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on their balance sheets for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Based on certain criteria, leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 for smaller reporting companies, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2021. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” that allows entities to apply the provisions of the new standard at the effective date, as opposed to the earliest period presented under the modified retrospective transition approach and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients primarily focused on leases that commenced before the effective date of Topic 842, including continuing to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous guidance, unless the lease is modified. The Company currently expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon its adoption of Topic 842, which will increase the total assets and total liabilities that the Company reports relative to such amounts prior to adoption.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

 

On or about January 28, 2022, the Company entered into a line of credit (flooring plan) with a finance company that provides for borrowing up to $3,500,000. The line of credit is secured by the equipment purchased and is interest free if paid within 180 days from finance date.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

No events occurred requiring disclosure under Item 304 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, under the supervision of our President and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation (the “Evaluation”) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

There can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within our Company and our consolidated subsidiaries to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our Annual Report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  - Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

  - Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

  - Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

 33 

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failure. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

In connection with the preparation of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, our President and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s Internal Control-Integrated Framework. As a result of this assessment, we have determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

An evaluation was performed under the supervision of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) occurred during the year ended December 31, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Conflicts of Interest – General

 

There can be no assurance that management will resolve all of our conflicts of interest.

 

Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities engaged in a variety of businesses. Thus, there exist potential conflicts of interest including, among other things, time, efforts, and corporate opportunity, involved in participation with such other entities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as our officers and directors. Insofar as the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities, management anticipates it will devote only up to approximately 40 hours per week to the our affairs.

  

Conflicts of Interest – Corporate Opportunities

 

Presently, there is no requirement included in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which provides that our officers and directors must disclose business opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose any business opportunities brought to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his or her involvement as an officer and/or director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or acquiring an affiliate, associated person, or business opportunity from any affiliate or any client of any such person.

 

Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy that we will not seek a fund of, any entity in which any officer or director serves as an officer or director or in which they or their family members own or hold a controlling ownership interest. Although the Board of Directors could elect to change this policy, the Board of Directors has no present intention to do so.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

There have been no known events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director, executive officer, promoter or control person of the Company during the past ten years.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our officers, directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our Common Stock file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.  Based solely on our review of the SEC’s EDGAR database, copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners have complied with all applicable filing requirements of Section 16(a).

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our outstanding Common Stock by:

 

  • Each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our Common Stock;

 

  • Our executive officers, and each director as identified in the “Management — Executive Compensation” section; and

 

  • All of our directors and executive officers as a group.

 


 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of Common Stock and options, warrants and convertible securities that are currently exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the date of this document into shares of our Common Stock are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

 

The information below is based on the number of shares of our Common Stock that we believe were beneficially owned by each person or entity as of the date of this registration statement.

(1) The address of all officers and directors is our corporate address at 3930 Esplanade, Chico, California 95973.

(2) Number of shares is based solely on a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on August 20, 2019 on behalf of Warren Murphy, as revised to reflect the effect of the Company’s 1:50 reverse stock split on December 21, 2020. 

 

Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act governs the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. That rule provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who directly or indirectly has or shares voting power and/or investment power with respect to such security. Rule 13d-3 also provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days, including through the exercise of any option, warrant or conversion of a security. Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options, warrants or conversion privileges are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class owned by such person. Those securities are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class owned by any other person. Included in this table are only those derivative securities with exercise prices that we believe have a reasonable likelihood of being “in the money” within the next 60 days.
