PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
COMPANY OVERVIEW
The Company is a technology-based developer and manufacturer of diversified lines of products and derives revenue from the production and sale of electronics for medical devices and other applications; environmentally safe chemical products for industrial, medical and cosmetic uses; and, research, development, regulatory and engineering services.
The Company is a corporation that was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 24, 1969. Our operations are conducted through ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc. ("ADM") and its subsidiary Sonotron Medical Systems, Inc. ("SMI").
COMPANY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
ELECTRONICS FOR MEDICAL DEVICES AND OTHER APPLICATIONS
We develop and manufacture electronic technologies for non-invasive, electrotherapeutic and diagnostic medical devices as well as for veterinary and other applications. The products are manufactured at our Northvale facility which is an FDA-Registered Medical Device Manufacturing facility. We develop and manufacture our own proprietary products as well as on a contract basis for other companies.
CONTRACT MANUFACTURING
The Company derives revenues from contract manufacturing of electronic medical and other devices from non-affiliated customers. As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $926,000 of back-log for electronic product orders.
ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS FOR INDUSTRIAL USES
We develop, manufacture, and sell chemical products to industrial users. Such products consist primarily of the following:
|
● |
Water-based primers and adhesives; |
|
● |
Water-based coatings and resins; |
|
● |
Water-based chemical additives; and |
|
● |
Anti-static conductive paints, coating and other products. |
Water-based primers and adhesives are chemical compounds used to bind different plastic films, metal foils and papers. Examples are the binding of polyethylene to polyester, nylon, vinyl, aluminum, polypropylene, paper and cellophane. Our water-based primers and adhesives are similar in function to solvent-based primers that are widely used to bind plastic films, papers and foils. Solvent-based systems have come under criticism since they have been found to be highly pollutant, dangerous to health and generally caustic in nature. Based upon our experience since 1969, including information furnished to us by certain of our customers, we believe that water-based systems have no known polluting effects and pose no known health hazards. There can, of course, be no assurance that any governmental restrictions will not be imposed on our water-based products or that such products will be accepted as replacements for solvent-based products.
Water-based coatings and resins for the printing industry are used to impart properties to the printed substrate. Our coatings and resins can be used to coat printed material for glossy or aesthetic appeal to make such material virtually impervious to certain types of grease and to impart other characteristics required or desired for various products and specifications.
Certain of our water-based chemical additives are used to impart properties to inks and other chemical products used in the food packaging and printing industries. These additives are used for their ability to improve the performance of such products.
Through Anti-Static Industries, the assets of which were acquired in July 2009, we now develop and manufacture a full line of anti-static products for commercial and industrial use through a division of our company that we refer to as “Antistatic Industries”. Antistatic Industries develops and distributes proprietary conductive paints, coatings and other products and accessories which can be used by electronics, computer, pharmaceutical and chemical companies to prevent, reduce or eliminate static electricity. Many industries are concerned with static electricity as it can be hazardous to personnel and damage corporate facilities, computers, electronic equipment and valuable parts. Antistatic Industries has a wide range of products including paints, hoses, garments, floor mats, rugs, strapping, tapes, hook-and-loop, adhesive products and many other specialized items, all with conductive properties. Antistatic Industries has also pioneered low volatile organic compound conductive and antistatic paint and coating formulations that can be used as replacements for paints and coatings made from hazardous solvents. Antistatic Industries seeks to continually develop new products through research and development for new and current customers to aid in their quest for maximum protection with less waste and rejects in their manufacturing processes by reducing or eliminating static electricity.
None of our chemical products are protected by patents, although the names of some of such products have been protected by trademarks. We do not believe that any such trademarks are material to our business. As of March 31, 2022, the dollar amount of backlog orders for our chemical products believed by us to be firm was not material.
MEDICAL AND COSMETIC PRODUCTS
The Company has developed several medical and cosmetic topical products. The Company’s proprietary water-based, adhesive and related topical formulations are used for maxillofacial prosthetic medical applications and for professional makeup applications primarily for special makeup effects for film, TV and theatrical productions.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, REGULATORY AND ENGINEERING SERVICES
The Company provides research, development, regulatory and engineering services to unaffiliated customers for the design, development and manufacturing of medical devices, electronics and other technologies and products (the “Engineering Services”). The Engineering Services are provided by the Company to customers both on a fee-for-services basis and on a project basis.
CUSTOMERS
During the year ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, two customers accounted for 40% and 51%, respectively, of our net revenue. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, two customers accounted for 75% and three customers accounted for 75%, respectively of our accounts receivable. The loss of these major customers could have a material impact on our operations and cash flow.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
A majority of our product sales are distributed to customers directly from our headquarters in Northvale, NJ. Customers place purchase orders with us and products are then shipped via common carrier delivery on a "FOB shipping point" basis. A portion of the sales are accomplished through distributors who place purchase orders with us for certain quantities of our products which are shipped by common carrier to the distributor's respective warehouses. These stocking distributors then ship product to the ultimate customer via common carrier from their inventory of our products. Our contract manufacturing customers place orders with us for certain quantities of their products they desire to have us manufacture, typically providing a deposit with each order. Engineering Services are provided through written agreements with customers both on a fee-for-services basis and a project basis.
MANUFACTURER AND SUPPLIERS
MANUFACTURER
ADM manufactures its electronic and chemical products and other customers’ electronic products at its facilities located in Northvale, New Jersey.
Under contract manufacturing agreements, all inventions, patentable or otherwise, trade secrets, discoveries, ideas, writings, technology, know-how, improvements or other advances or findings relating to the entities' products and technologies shall be and become the exclusive proprietary and confidential information of such entity or any person to whom such entity may have assigned rights therein. ADM has no rights in any such proprietary or confidential information and is prohibited from using or disclosing any of such proprietary or confidential information for its own benefit or purposes, or for the benefit or purpose of any other person other than the entity without such entity's prior written consent. ADM has also agreed to cooperate with each entity in securing for it any patents, copyrights, trademarks or the like which it may seek to obtain in connection therewith. If ADM breaches any of the confidentiality agreements contained in the manufacturing agreement, or if these agreements are not sufficient to protect the entity's technology or are found to be unenforceable, the entity's competitors could acquire and use information that it considers to be our trade secrets and the entity may not be able to compete effectively.
As a manufacturer of medical devices, ADM is required to comply with quality requirements, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the manufacturing process. In addition, our manufacturing facility is required to be registered as a medical device manufacturing facility with the FDA and is subject to inspection by the FDA. The Company has been registered by the FDA as a Registered Medical Device Establishment since 1988 allowing it to manufacture medical devices in accordance with procedures outlined in FDA regulations, which include quality control and related activities. Such registration is renewable annually and although we do not believe that the registration will fail to be renewed by the FDA, there can be no assurance of such renewal.
SUPPLIERS
We purchase the raw materials, parts, components and other items required to manufacture our products. We rely on a limited number of suppliers for such raw materials, parts, components and other items. Although there are many suppliers for each of these raw materials, parts, components and other items, we are dependent on a limited number of suppliers for many of the significant raw materials and components due to our customers’ requirements. We do not have any long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of our suppliers. The failure to maintain existing relationships with suppliers or to establish new relationships in the future could also negatively affect our ability to obtain raw materials and components used in the products in a timely manner. If we are unable to obtain ample supply of product from our existing suppliers or alternative sources of supply, we may be unable to satisfy orders which could reduce our revenues and adversely affect relationships with our customers. Accordingly, in order to satisfy its customers' needs, we have maintained an inventory ranging, in dollar amounts, from 15% to 30% of sales of chemical products in the form of either raw materials or finished goods. Starting in 2020 there has been a worldwide shortage of certain electronic components used in the manufacture of circuit boards used in the devices produced by the Company. There has also been a shortage in certain chemical raw materials. This has resulted in delays in the ability of the Company to manufacture products and, in some cases, raw material costs have consequently increased, affecting margins. In response, we have actively sought other suppliers and alternate raw materials to reduce the impact of the shortage on our production capabilities, although in many cases these efforts have had limited results. Such shortages are continuing and there can be no assurance as to when the shortages will be resolved.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
During our fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, research and development expenses with respect to company-sponsored research and development activities were $541,184 and $615,926, respectively. During such fiscal years, we did not expend any funds on customer-sponsored research and development activities with respect thereto, other than contracted research and development from engineering services customers.
COMPETITION
Our businesses are highly competitive and substantially all of our competitors possess greater experience, financial resources, operating history and marketing capabilities than us. Although we do not believe that there are one or more dominant competitors in such industries, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively compete with any or all of our competitors on the basis of price, service or otherwise. Competitors may be better able to withstand a change in conditions and throughout the economy as a whole. In addition, current and anticipated future consolidation among our competitors and customers may cause us to lose market share as well as put downward pressure on pricing. Furthermore, there is a trend in industry toward relocation of manufacturing facilities to lower-cost regions such as Asia. Such relocation may permit some of our competitors to lower their costs and improve their competitive position. If we do not compete successfully, our business, operating margins, financial condition, cash flows and profitability could be adversely affected.
Our results of operations depend, in part, on our ability to expand our product offerings. We are committed to remaining a competitive producer and believe that our portfolio of new or re-engineered products is strong. However, we may not be able to develop new products, re-engineer existing products successfully or bring them to be competitive, we may not be able to continue to attract and retain customers to which we sell our products.
INSURANCE
The Company may be exposed to potential product liability claims by those who use our products. Therefore, we maintain a general liability insurance policy, which includes aggregate product liability coverage of $3,000,000 for certain of our products. We believe that our present insurance coverage is adequate for the types of products we currently market. There can be no assurance, however, that such insurance will be sufficient to cover potential claims or that the present level of coverage will be available in the future at a reasonable cost.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information, together with other information in this annual report, before buying shares of our stock. If any of the following risks or uncertainties occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, the trading price of our stock could decline and you may lose all or a part of the money you paid to buy our stock.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR OPERATIONS
NEW ENVIRONMENTAL OR OTHER REGULATIONS COULD INCREASE THE COMPANY'S OPERATING COSTS.
Like other manufacturers, the Company is subject to a broad range of Federal, state and local laws and requirements, including those governing discharges in the air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous substances and wastes, the remediation of contamination associated with the release of hazardous substances, work place safety and equal employment opportunities. We have made expenditures to comply with such laws and requirements. We believe, based on information currently available to management, that we are in compliance with applicable environmental and other legal requirements and that we will not require material capital expenditures to maintain compliance with such requirements in the foreseeable future. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with such laws and regulations, and violators may be subject to penalties, injunctions or both. Third parties may also have the right to enforce compliance with such laws and regulations. As ADM develops new products, those products may become subject to additional review and approval requirements governing the sale and use of its products. Although our manufacturing processes do not currently result in the generation of hazardous wastes, this may not always be the case and material costs or liabilities may be incurred by us in the future as a result of the manufacturing operations. It is also possible that other developments, such as additional or increasingly strict requirements of laws and regulations of these types, or enforcement policies there under, could significantly increase our costs of operations.
BECAUSE WE USE VARIOUS MATERIALS AND SUBSTANCES IN MANUFACTURING OUR CHEMICAL PRODUCTS, OUR PRODUCTION FACILITIES ARE SUBJECT TO OPERATING HAZARDS THAT COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE, SEVERE DAMAGE TO, OR DESTRUCTION OF, PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
We are dependent on the continued operation of our production and distribution facility. This facility is subject to hazards associated with the manufacture, handling, storage and transportation of chemical materials and products, including natural disasters, mechanical failure, unscheduled downtime, labor difficulties, transportation interruptions, and environmental hazards, such as spills, discharges or releases of toxic or hazardous substances and remediation complications. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to, or destruction of, property and equipment and environmental contamination and other environmental damage and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, due to the nature of our business operations, we could become subject to scrutiny from environmental action groups.
FAILURE TO DEVELOP NEW CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND/OR IMPROVE OUR EXISTING PRODUCTS WILL MAKE US LESS COMPETITIVE.
Our results of operations depend, in part, on our ability to expand our product offerings. We are committed to remaining a competitive producer and believe that our portfolio of new or re-engineered products is strong. However, we may not be able to continue to develop new products, re-engineer our existing products successfully or bring them to market in a timely manner. While we believe that the products, pricing and services we offer customers are competitive, we may not be able to continue to attract and retain customers to whom we sell our products.
FAILURE TO MAKE CONTINUED IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR PRODUCTIVITY COULD HURT OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION.
In order to obtain and maintain a competitive position, we believe that we must continue to make improvements in our productivity. When we invest in new technologies or processes, we face risks related to cost overruns and unanticipated technical difficulties. Our inability to anticipate, respond to or utilize changing technologies could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.
CHANGES IN OUR CUSTOMERS' PRODUCTS COULD REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR OUR CHEMICAL PRODUCTS, WHICH MAY DECREASE OUR NET SALES AND OPERATING MARGINS.
Our chemical products are used for a broad range of applications by our customers. Changes, including technological changes, in our customers' products or processes may make our chemical products unnecessary, which would reduce the demand for those products. Other customers may find alternative materials or processes that no longer require our products. If the demand for our chemical products is reduced, our net sales and operating margins may be reduced as well.
WE HAVE FEW PROPRIETARY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO OUR CHEMICAL PRODUCTS, THE LACK OF WHICH MAY MAKE IT EASIER FOR OUR COMPETITORS TO COMPETE AGAINST US.
None of our chemical products are protected by patents. We do attempt to protect the names of some of our chemical products through trademarks and some of our other limited proprietary property through trade secret, nondisclosure and confidentiality measures; however, such protections may not preclude competitors from developing similar technologies.
CUSTOMERS OUTSOURCE THE MANUFACTURING OF THEIR PRODUCTS TO US AND IF OUR OPERATIONS ARE INTERRUPTED OR IF OUR ORDERS EXCEED OUR MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DELIVER THEIR PRODUCTS TO CUSTOMERS ON TIME.
We operate a single facility and have limited capacity that may be inadequate if customers place orders for unexpectedly large quantities of products, or if our other customers place large orders of products. In addition, if our operations were halted or restricted, even temporarily, or we are unable to fulfill large orders, our customers could experience business interruption, increased costs, damage to their reputations and loss of their customers. Although customers have the right to utilize other manufacturers, such manufacturers of their products need to be licensed with the FDA, and identifying and qualifying a new manufacturer to replace us as the manufacturer of their products could take several months during which time, they would likely lose customers and our revenues could be materially delayed and/or reduced. In addition, our failure to produce such products could result in claims against us.
WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS FOR THE COMPONENTS AND RAW MATERIALS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS AND THE PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED FOR THIRD PARTIES, AND ANY INTERRUPTION IN THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE COMPONENTS AND RAW MATERIALS COULD REDUCE OUR REVENUE.
There has also been a shortage in certain chemical raw materials. This has resulted in delays in the ability of the Company to manufacture products and, in some cases, raw material costs have consequently increased, affecting margins. In response, we have actively sought other suppliers and alternate raw materials to reduce the impact of the shortage on our production capabilities, although in many cases these efforts have had limited results. Such shortages are continuing and there can be no assurance as to when the shortages will be resolved.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers for the components and raw materials used in the products that we manufacture for others. Although there are many suppliers for each of the component parts and raw materials, we are dependent on a single or limited number of suppliers for many of the significant components and raw materials due to our customers’ specifications. This reliance involves a number of significant risks, including:
|
● |
unavailability of materials and interruptions in delivery of components and raw materials from suppliers; |
|
● |
manufacturing delays caused by such unavailability or interruptions in delivery; and |
|
● |
fluctuations in the quality and the price of components and raw materials. |
We do not have any long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of our suppliers. Failure to maintain existing relationships with suppliers or to establish new relationships in the future could also negatively affect our ability to obtain components and raw materials used in these products in a timely manner. If we are unable to obtain ample supply of product from existing suppliers or alternative sources of supply, we may be unable to satisfy our customers' orders which could reduce our revenues and adversely affect our relationships with these customers.
OUR ABILITY TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN DEPENDS ON THE SCOPE OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND NOT INFRINGING THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS. THE VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY AND COMMERCIAL VALUE OF THESE RIGHTS ARE HIGHLY UNCERTAIN.
Our ability to compete effectively with other companies is materially dependent upon the proprietary nature of our technologies. We rely primarily on patents and trade secrets to protect our products.
Third parties may seek to challenge, invalidate, circumvent or render unenforceable any patents or proprietary rights owned by us based on, among other things:
|
● |
subsequently discovered prior act; |
|
● |
lack of entitlement to the priority of an earlier, related application; or |
|
● |
failure to comply with the written description, best mode, enablement or other applicable requirements. |
In general, the patent position of medical device companies is highly uncertain, still evolving and involve complex legal, scientific and factual questions. We are at risk that:
|
● |
other patents may be granted with respect to the patent applications filed by us; and |
|
● |
any patents issued to us may not provide commercial benefit to us or will be infringed, invalidated or circumvented by others. |
The United States Patent and Trademark Office currently has a significant backlog of patent applications, and the approval or rejection of patents may take several years. Prior to actual issuance, the contents of United States patent applications are generally published 18 months after filing. Once issued, such a patent would constitute prior art from its filing date, which might predate the date of a patent application on which we rely. Conceivably, the issuance of such a prior art patent, or the discovery of "prior art" of which we are currently unaware, could invalidate a patent of ours or prevent commercialization of a product claimed thereby.
Although we generally conduct a cursory review of issued patents prior to engaging in research or development activities, we may be required to obtain a license from others to commercialize any of our new products under development. If patents that cover our existing or new products are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that any necessary license could be obtained on favorable terms or at all.
There can be no assurance that we will not be required to resort to litigation to protect our patented technologies and other proprietary rights or that we will not be the subject of additional patent litigation to defend our existing and proposed products and processes against claims of patent infringement or any other intellectual property claims. Such litigation could result in substantial costs, diversion of management's attention, and diversion of our resources.
We also have applied for patent protection in several foreign countries. Because of the differences in patent laws and laws concerning proprietary rights between the United States and foreign countries, the extent of protection provided by patents and proprietary rights granted to us by the United States may differ from the protection provided by patents and proprietary rights granted to us by foreign countries.
We attempt to protect our trade secrets, including the processes, concepts, ideas and documentation associated with our technologies, through the use of confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements with our current employees, and with other parties to whom we have divulged such trade secrets. If our employees or other parties breach our confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements or if these agreements are not sufficient to protect our technology or are found to be unenforceable, our competitors could acquire and use information that we consider to be our trade secrets and we may not be able to compete effectively. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, technical and manufacturing resources than we have and we may not be profitable if our competitors are also able to take advantage of our trade secrets.
We may decide for business reasons to retain certain knowledge that we consider proprietary as confidential and elect to protect such information as a trade secret, as business confidential information or as know-how. In that event, we must rely upon trade secrets, know-how, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and continuing technological innovation to maintain our competitive position. There can be no assurance that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or otherwise gain access to or disclose such information.
IF THE FDA OR OTHER STATE OR FOREIGN AGENCIES IMPOSE REGULATIONS THAT AFFECT OUR MEDICAL DEVICE PRODUCTS, OUR DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING AND MARKETING COSTS WILL BE INCREASED.
The testing and production of medical devices are subject to regulation by the FDA as devices under the 1976 Medical Device Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. In the United States, medical devices must be:
|
● |
manufactured in registered and quality approved establishments by the FDA; and |
|
● |
produced in accordance with the FDA Quality System Regulation ("QSR") for medical devices. |
As a result, we, as the manufacturer of other parties' devices, are required to comply with QSR requirements and if we fail to comply with these requirements, these other third parties will need to find another company to manufacture its devices. In addition, the Company's manufacturing facility:
|
● |
is required to be registered as a medical device manufacturing facility with the FDA; and |
|
● |
is subject to inspection by the FDA. |
The FDA can impose civil and criminal enforcement actions and other penalties on us if we fail to comply with stringent FDA regulations.
Medical device manufacturing facilities must maintain records, which are available for FDA inspectors documenting that the appropriate manufacturing procedures were followed. The FDA has authority to conduct inspections of our facility. Labeling and promotional activities are also subject to scrutiny by the FDA and, in certain instances, by the Federal Trade Commission. Any failure by us to take satisfactory corrective action in response to an adverse inspection or to comply with applicable FDA regulations could result in enforcement action against us, including a public warning letter, a shutdown of manufacturing operations, a recall of our products, civil or criminal penalties or other sanctions. From time to time, the FDA may modify such requirements, imposing additional or different requirements which may require us to alter our business methods which could result in increased expenses.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
At March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $32 million. We may incur additional operating losses, as well as negative cash flows from operations, in the future.
We are highly dependent upon certain customers to generate our revenues. For fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 two customers accounted for 40% and two customers accounted for 51%, respectively, of our net revenue. All customer purchases are made through purchase orders and we do not have any long-term contracts with customers. The complete loss of, or significant reduction in business from, or a material adverse change in the financial condition of, any of such customers will cause a material and adverse change in our revenues and operating results.
WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO POTENTIAL RISKS RELATING TO OUR INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND OUR ABILITY TO HAVE THE OPERATING EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR INTERNAL CONTROLS ATTESTED TO BY OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. A report from management on the operating effectiveness of internal controls is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to include an attestation report of our auditor in our annual report. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we cannot remediate in a timely manner, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.
WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS FOR WHICH OUR INSURANCE MAY BE INADEQUATE.
Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks, which are inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of chemical products and electronic devices. Although we maintain a general liability insurance policy, which includes aggregate product liability coverage of $3,000,000 for certain of our products, there can be no assurance, that such insurance will be sufficient to cover potential claims or that the present level of coverage will be available in the future at a reasonable cost.
While we are not aware of side-effects resulting from the use of any of our products, there may be unknown long-term effects of their use that may result in product liability claims in the future. Further, we cannot provide any assurance that:
|
● |
our insurance will provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities if a product causes harm or fails to perform as promised; |
|
● |
adequate product liability insurance will continue to be available in the future; or |
|
● |
our insurance can be maintained on acceptable terms. |
The obligation to pay any product liability claim in excess of whatever insurance we are able to obtain would increase our expenses and could greatly reduce our assets. See "Item 1. Business - Insurance."
THE LOSS OF ANY OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICER OR KEY PERSONNEL MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS AND OUR ABILITY TO EXECUTE OUR GROWTH STRATEGY.
Our ability to execute our business plan depends upon the continued services of Andre' DiMino, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as our key technology, marketing, and support personnel. In January 2013, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. DiMino containing non-compete, confidentiality and other provisions for the benefit of the Company. However, such agreement has provisions for early termination by the Company and/or Mr. DiMino. We do not have employment or consulting agreements containing non-compete agreements with certain of our key personnel, and we may not be able to retain these individuals. If we lost the services of Mr. DiMino or our key personnel, our business may be adversely affected and our stock price may decline. In addition, our ability to execute our business plan is dependent on our ability to attract and retain additional highly skilled personnel.
OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND ENTITIES AFFILIATED WITH HIM HAVE SUBSTANTIAL CONTROL OVER US, WHICH COULD DELAY OR PREVENT A CHANGE IN OUR CORPORATE CONTROL FAVORED BY OUR OTHER SHAREHOLDERS.
Our executive officer and director, Mr. DiMino, together with members of the DiMino family, and entities affiliated with them may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 38% of our outstanding common stock. The interests of our current officer and director shareholder may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. As a result, the current officer and director would have the ability to exercise substantial control over all corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, irrespective of how our other shareholders may vote, including the following actions:
|
● |
the election of directors; |
|
● |
adoption of stock option plans; |
|
● |
the amendment of charter documents; or |
|
● |
the approval of certain mergers and other significant corporate transactions, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. |
PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS MAY IMPOSE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY OF OUR SECURITIES.
As of March 31, 2023, our common stock was exempt from the definition of a Penny Stock under SEC under Rule 240.3a51-1 because it meets one of the following tests: 1) A price of over $5 per share, 2) the issuer has Average Revenue of at least $6 million for the last 3 years, or 3) the issuer has Net Tangible Assets in excess of $2 million if the issuer has been in continuous operations for at least 3 years or $5 million if less than 3 years. Should we not meet one of the aforementioned requirements in the future, our common stock would be subject to penny stock rules. Penny stock rules, may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock or affect their ability to sell our securities. As a result, purchasers and current holders of our securities could find it more difficult to sell their securities. Our stock is traded on the OTC Marketplace Venture Market referred to as the OTCQB. Trading volume of OTCQB stocks have been historically lower and more volatile then stocks traded on an exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market. In addition, we may be subject to rules of the SEC that impose additional requirements on broker-dealers when selling penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. In general, an accredited investor is a person with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse. The relevant SEC regulations generally define penny stocks to include any equity security not traded on an exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market with a market price (as defined in the regulations) of less than $5 per share. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination as to the purchaser and must have the purchaser's prior written consent to the transaction. Prior to any transaction in a penny stock covered by these rules, a broker-dealer must deliver a disclosure schedule about the penny stock market prepared by the SEC. Broker-dealers must also make disclosure concerning commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and any registered representative and provide current quotations for the securities. Finally, broker-dealers are required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in an account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
OUR STOCK PRICE, LIKE THAT OF MANY SMALL COMPANIES, HAS BEEN AND MAY CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE.
We expect that the market price of our common stock will fluctuate as a result of variations in our quarterly operating results and other factors beyond our control. These fluctuations may be exaggerated if the trading volume of our common stock is low.
WE HAVE NOT PAID DIVIDENDS IN THE PAST AND DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE, AND ANY RETURN ON INVESTMENT MAY BE LIMITED TO THE VALUE OF YOUR STOCK.
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of your stock. We plan to retain any future earnings to finance growth.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION
ELECTRONICS:
We recognize revenue from the sale of our electronic products when they are shipped to the purchaser. We offer a limited 90-day warranty on our electronics products and contract manufacturing and a limited 5-year warranty on our electronic controllers for spas and hot tubs. Historically, the amount of warranty revenue included in sales of our electronic products have been de minimis. We have no other post shipment obligations. Based on prior experience, no amounts have been accrued for potential warranty costs and actual costs were less than $2,000, for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. For contract manufacturing, revenues are recognized after shipment of the completed products.
Amounts received from customers in advance of our satisfaction of applicable performance obligations are recorded as customer deposits. Such amounts are recognized as revenues when the related performance obligations are satisfied. Customer deposits of approximately $179,000 as of March 31, 2022 were recognized as revenues during the year ended March 31, 2023.
CHEMICAL PRODUCTS:
Revenues are recognized when products are shipped to end users. Shipments to distributors are recognized as revenue when no right of return exists.
ENGINEERING SERVICES
We provide certain engineering services, including research, development, quality control and quality assurance services along with regulatory compliance services. We recognize revenue from engineering services on a monthly basis over time as the applicable performance obligations are satisfied.
All revenue is recognized net of discounts.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
ADM extends credit terms to our customers based on their credit worthiness. As such, we record accounts receivable at the time of shipment, when our right to the consideration becomes unconditional. Accounts receivable from our customers are typically due within 30 days of invoicing. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on a periodic analysis of individual account balances, including an evaluation of days outstanding, payment history, recent payment trends, and our assessment of our customers' creditworthiness.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to reserves, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants for services and fair value of equity instruments issued to others. 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 the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above described items, are reasonable.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which modifies ASU 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this ASU effective April 1, 2021.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. This guidance affects organizations that hold financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net income. The guidance requires organizations to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods with those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncement, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
ADM is a corporation that was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 24, 1969.
We are a technology-based developer and manufacturer of diversified lines of products and services in the following areas: electronics for non-invasive medical and other applications; research, development, regulatory and engineering services; and, environmentally safe chemical products for industrial, cosmetic and topical uses.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
Revenues increased $470,191 or 15% from the prior year, which resulted from increases of $477,657 in the electronic segment, $53,222 in the engineering segment offset by a decrease of $60,688 in the chemical segment. The increases were primarily the result of increased purchasing from customers due to the effect of the COVID shutdowns being lifted.
OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)
Income from operations for the year ended March 31, 2023 was $30,335. Loss from operations for the year ended March 31, 2022 was ($1,129,314)., an increase in operating income of $1,185,920. This was a result of an increase in gross profit due to increased sales and a reduction of operating expenses year over year, mainly due to a reduction in selling, general and administrative costs of $695,514.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $675,643 or 38%, from $1,762,026 to $1,086,383, mainly due to a decrease of $206,797 in consulting expense and $625,000 in bad debt, partially offset by a decrease of $693,817 in income realized in the PPP Forgiveness n 2022.
NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $96,322 and $1,384,263 or ($0.00) and ($0.02) per share, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,003,730 as compared to $1,137,264 at March 31, 2022. The decrease of $133,534 was primarily the result of cash provided in operations in the amount of $125,024, offset by cash used by financing activities of $258,558. We expect to have enough cash to fund operations for the next twelve months.
Future Sources of Liquidity:
We expect our primary source of cash during fiscal 2023 to be net cash provided by operating activities. We expect that growth in profitable revenues and continued focus on new customers will enable us to generate cash flows from operating activities.
If we do not generate sufficient cash from operations, face unanticipated cash needs or do not otherwise have sufficient cash, we have the ability to reduce certain expenses depending on the level of business operation.
Based on current expectations, we believe that our existing cash of $1,003,730 as of March 31, 2023 and other potential sources of cash will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements. Our ability to meet these requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.
Although we expect available funds and funds generated from our operations to be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for a minimum of 12 months, we may need to obtain additional capital to continue to operate and grow our business. Our cash requirements may vary materially from those currently anticipated due to changes in our operations, including our marketing and sales activities, product development, and the timing of our receipt of revenues. As of March 31, 2023, we have approximately $287,000 available for use through our line of credit. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions, as well as our business performance. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to us or at all. Additionally, we will continue to reduce certain of our expenses in order to assist in meeting our capital needs.
IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly curtailed global economic activity and caused significant volatility and disruption in global financial markets. We began to see the impact of COVID-19 during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 with certain of our customers being required to close and/or suspend their own operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, net sales and production levels during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and the majority of fiscal 2021 were reduced, thus impacting our results of operations during these quarters. The Company was impacted by supply chain shortages during the 2022 fiscal year. In May 2020, we received a loan of approximately $381,000 under the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program, to assist with the economic hardships caused by the pandemic. In February 2021, we received a second loan of approximately $333,000 under the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program.
The Company applied for loan forgiveness of both PPP loans. On September 7, 2021, the Company received approval from the SBA for $361,275 of PPP loan forgiveness. On December 21, 2021, the Company received approval from the Bank for $332,542. This amount was recorded as Forgiveness of Paycheck Protection loan in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2022.
The unforgiven portion of the first PPP loan is $19,725, which was converted to a term loan payable in equal installments of principal plus interest at 1% with a maturity date of May 15, 2025. No collateral or personal guarantees are required for the loan. At March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance is $11,656.
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial results and liquidity will depend on future developments and the financial condition of our customers that we may not be able to foresee. Any of these factors, and other factors beyond our control, can adversely impact our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, as well as the full fiscal year, and such impact may be material.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $125,024 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Cash provided during the year ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to net loss of $96,322 coupled with a reduction in reduction in net operating liabilities of $65,895, a decrease in deferred taxes of $956,000, write-off of inventories of $110,504, depreciation and amortization of $34,014 and non-cash interest expense of $26,307.
Net cash used by operating activities was $574,951 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. Cash used during the year ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to net loss of $1,384,263, an increase in net operating assets of $267,909, and forgiveness of PPP loans of $693,517, partially offset by an increase in net operating liabilities of $18,095, a decrease in deferred taxes of $956,000, write-off of inventories of $34,406, an increase in reserve for bad debt of $625,000, depreciation and amortization of $107,253 and non-cash interest expense of $30,284.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net cash used in investing activities was zero.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, net cash used by financing activities was $258,558, due to advances on the line of credit of $167,894, off-set by payments toward the line of credit of $389,845, payments on PPP loan of $6,321, and a decrease in due to stockholder of $36,607.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $66,499, due to advances on the line of credit of $308,000, off-set by payments toward the line of credit of $199,653, payments on PPP loan of $6,329, and a decrease in due to stockholder of $39,158.
INFLATION
We believe our operations has not been materially and adversely affected by inflation or changing prices. However, general economic factors beyond our control, and changes in the global economic environment, specifically fluctuations in inflation and currency exchange rates, could result in lower revenues, higher costs and decreased margins and earnings in the foreseeable future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc. (the Company) as of the year ended March 31, 2023, and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 audit 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.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
As described further in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts against its accounts receivable balances based on the future estimated credit losses. As of March 31, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $694,871 or 57% of total accounts receivable. This estimate is determined based on internally developed qualitative and quantitative factors derived from the aging of receivables, the Company’s past collection history with customers, and economic trends and conditions. We identified estimates used to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts as a critical audit matter.
We have identified the evaluation of the Company’s estimation of allowance for doubtful accounts as a critical audit matter. There is an established policy for determining overall allowance for doubtful accounts with specific judgment in place for certain account balances that require additional evaluation and assessment which are used in estimating losses related to customer receivables. There is also a high degree of subjectivity in management’s assessment of the completeness and accuracy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, specifically the portion of the receivable expected to be collected, which requires a heightened level of auditor judgment in auditing the estimate.
|
- |
Evaluated whether the company’s methods for developing the estimated allowance were appropriate for their accounts receivable and whether the data underlying the estimate was appropriate and has been consistently applied, including retrospective review of the estimation methodology. |
|
- |
Identified significant assumptions underlying the estimates and evaluate the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying the allowance for doubtful accounts by obtaining corroborating evidence which supported management’s estimate. |
|
- |
Reviewed the aged trial balance with subsequent collections, credit memos, and write-offs posted on it and discussed balances over 90 days that have not been subsequently collected and the reasonableness of write-offs and recoveries with management. Considered whether information produced by the company is accurate, complete, and sufficiently precise for its purpose. |
|
- |
Developed an independent expectation of the allowance for doubtful accounts and compared it to the company’s estimate. |
|
- |
Considered whether credit memos or write-offs after the balance sheet date indicate that an account was doubtful as of the balance sheet date. |
|
- |
For significant delinquent balances, evaluated the debtor’s creditworthiness. |
|
- |
Tested subsequent collections through the report date. |
Inventory – Valuation for old/obsolete items
As further elaborated on in note 2 of the financial statements, the Company values inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. At the balance sheet date, the Company evaluated inventory for spoilage and obsolescence and deducted the value from each item as applicable. As of March 31, 2023, the company did not have an account for inventory reserve. To estimate the amount of inventory that should be written off, the company reviews inventory quantities on hand as well as spoilage rates for chemicals and obsolescence for electronics. If an item either spoils or becomes obsolete, the company will dispose of the chemicals or use the obsolete parts for other purposes if applicable. Due to this aspect of inventory, a high level of estimation and judgment is required.
Given the significant judgments associated with evaluating the valuation of inventory, auditing the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions involved especially subjective judgment and increased extent of effort, therefore we identified the estimates used to determine the valuation of inventory as a critical audit matter.
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s valuation of inventory included the following:
|
- |
We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design of the company’s process for determining whether allowances have been made for scrap, obsolete, unsalable, slow-moving, or overstocked items and determine the amount of any valuation allowances. |
|
- |
Evaluated whether the company’s methods for estimating the potential inventory reserve were appropriate for the nature and categories of inventory and whether the data underlying the estimate was appropriate and has been consistently applied, including retrospective review of the estimation methodology. |
|
- |
We obtained from management the master schedule of inventory values with adjustments from raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, and we tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in management’s inventory costing and valuation. |
|
- |
Inquired of production personnel concerning possible excess, defective, obsolete, and other inventory items that might have valuation risks, and assessed the qualifications and competence of those personnel. |
|
- |
We tested the pricing used to determine the average costs of raw materials and supplies, the net realizable value of finished goods and work in process, and management’s estimates of which materials may be obsolete. |
|
- |
Compared quantities in the current-year final inventory listing to the prior-year listing on a test basis to identify slow-moving or overstocked items, and tested inputs, including sales activity versus on-hand inventory levels, we reviewed current selling prices versus current cost. |
|
- |
Reviewed perpetual records, sales analyses, and other information to determine actual usage of the items during the year. |

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Description of the Matter: As described in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company reviews all accounts receivable balances that exceed the due date and estimates the portion, if any, of the balances that will not be collected. Collectability of accounts receivable was identified as a critical audit matter due to the age and slow collection of certain receivables and significant management judgement in estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts.
How we Addressed the Matter in our Audit: We obtained an understanding of the controls and evaluated management’s process for identifying possible uncollectible accounts, as well as estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. We tested the identified accounts receivable by obtaining additional audit evidence from a third party source, after the measurement date, and we evaluated significant assumptions used to develop the estimate. In addition, we held discussions with management, which resulted in an increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

ADM TRONICS UNLIMITED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2023 AND 2022
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS
ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc. ("we", "us", "the Company" or "ADM"), was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on November 24, 1969.

Our subsidiary, SMI, is involved in medical electronic therapeutic technology.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Sonotron Medical Systems, Inc. (the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and, accordingly, require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates made by management include expected economic life and value of our deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance, write down of inventory, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and warranty reserves. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
|
Level 1: |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
Level 2: |
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
|
|
Level 3: |
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities. |
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses to date as a result of this policy. Cash and cash equivalents held in these accounts are currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to a maximum of $250,000 per institution. At March 31, 2023, approximately $
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances that exceed the due date and estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to expenses and a credit to a valuation allowance, based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was $

WARRANTY LIABILITIES
The Company’s provision for estimated future warranty costs is based upon historical relationship of warranty claims to sales. Based upon historical experience, the Company has concluded that no warranty liability is required as of the consolidated balance sheet dates. However, the Company periodically reviews the adequacy of its product warranties and will record an accrued warranty reserve if necessary.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) and net realizable value. Inventories that are expected to be sold within one operating cycle (1 year) are classified as a current asset. Inventories that are not expected to be sold within 1 year, based on historical trends, are classified as Inventories - long term portion. Obsolete inventory is written off annually based on prior and expected future usage.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
We record our property and equipment at historical cost. We expense maintenance and repairs as incurred. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over to years, the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In reviewing for impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the relevant asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. When the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than their carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the assets’ fair value and its carrying value. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no impairments.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping and handling costs incurred for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $
INCOME TAXES
We report the results of our operations as part of a consolidated Federal tax return with our subsidiary. Deferred income taxes result primarily from temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce a deferred tax asset to that portion that is expected to more likely than not be realized.
The Company has adopted the authoritative accounting guidance with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which clarified the accounting and disclosures for uncertain tax positions related to income taxes recognized in the consolidated financial statements and addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The Company files income tax returns in several jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns remain subject to examination, by major jurisdiction, for the years ended March 31, as follows:
|
Jurisdiction |
Fiscal Year |
|
Federal |
|
|
New Jersey |
|
There are currently no tax years under examination by any major tax jurisdictions.
The Company will recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Per share basic and diluted earnings (loss) amounted to ($
LEASE ACCOUNTING
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which changes financial reporting as it relates to leasing transactions. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, for the lease term. The Company adopted this guidance as of April 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach which allowed it to initially apply the guidance as of the adoption date. The Company elected the package of practical expedients available under the new standard, which allowed the Company to forgo a reassessment of (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) the initial direct costs for any existing leases.
The Company made a policy election to recognize short-term lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company defines a short-term lease as a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of twelve months or less and does not contain an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lease is reasonably certain to exercise. Related variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred.
The Company's lease agreement contains related non-lease components (e.g. taxes, etc.). The Company separates lease components and non-lease components for all underlying asset classes.
PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN
As disclosed in Note 8, the Company has chosen to account for the loans under FASB ASC 470, Debt. Repayment amounts due within one year are recorded as current liabilities, and the remaining amounts due in more than one year, if any, as long-term liabilities. In accordance with ASC 835, Interest, no imputed interest is recorded as the below market interest rate applied to this loan is governmentally prescribed. As the Company was successful in receiving forgiveness for those portions of the loan used for qualifying expenses, those amounts were recorded as a gain upon extinguishment as noted in ASC 405, Liabilities.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Company reported $693,817 of Forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program under Other Income on the consolidated statement of operations.
RECLASSIFICATION:
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which modifies ASU 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this ASU effective April 1, 2021.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. This guidance affects organizations that hold financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net income. The guidance requires organizations to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods with those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted this policy effective April 1, 2023 and it did not have a material impact.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives.
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation as of March 31, 2023, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are not effective.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) over our company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2023.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
The determination that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023 are a result of:
a. Deficiencies in Internal Control Structure Environment. During the current year, the Company’s focus was on expanding their customer base to initiate revenue production.
b. Inadequate staffing and supervision within the accounting operations of our company. The relatively small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions prevents the Company from segregating duties within its internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews. The Company’s plan is to expand its accounting operations as the business of the Company expands.
The Company believes that the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, notwithstanding the material weaknesses we identified.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter of the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
