UNIVERSAL ICE BLAST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

     The accompanying unaudited  financial  statements  have  been  prepared in

accordance  with accounting principles generally accepted in the United  States

of America for  interim  financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-

QSB pursuant to the rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange

Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by

accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States of America  for

complete financial statements.  The accompanying financial statements should be

read in conjunction with  the  audited consolidated financial statements of the

Company included in the Company's  December  31, 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-

KSB.

 

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments,  consisting  only of normal

recurring  accruals  considered  necessary  for a fair presentation, have  been

included. The results of operations for the six-month  period  ended  June  30,

2002 are not necessarily representative of operating results to be expected for

the entire fiscal year.

 

NOTE 2 - USE OF ESTIMATES

 

      The  preparation  of  financial  statements in conformity with accounting

principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America  requires

management to make estimates and assumptions  that  affect the amounts reported

in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ

from those estimates.

 

NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

     The Company's consolidated financial statements  have  been  prepared on a

going   concern  basis,  which  contemplates  the  realization  of  assets  and

settlement  of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for

the foreseeable  future.   Since inception in 1995, the Company has accumulated

losses aggregating $4,104,000,  including  a loss of $548,000 for the six-month

period ended June 30, 2002.

 

     The Company had a working capital deficit  of $742,000 and a stockholders'

deficit  of  $897,000  at  June  30,  2002. Management's  plans  for  continued

existence include a focus towards sales  of  ice blast systems and machines and

raising additional capital through the sale of  common  stock  and  issuance of

debt.  The  Company  is  actively  pursuing  marketing  arrangements  for their

products in the precision, environmental and industrial cleaning markets. These

efforts include the arrangement with Ford Motor Company ("Ford") as more  fully

described  in  Note  6.   The  Company's  future  success is dependent upon its

ability  to  achieve  profitable operations and generate  cash  from  operating

activities, and upon obtaining  additional  financing.   There  is no assurance

that  the  Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations  or

through the  sale  of  additional  shares  of  common  stock or from additional

borrowings.

 

      During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2002,  the Company  converted

approximately $97,000 in trade accounts payable to two suppliers  to short-term

notes  payable bearing interest at annual rates of 12% and 18%.  The  Company's

ability  to  obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its

financial position,  results  of  operations  and  its  ability  to continue in

existence. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments

that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Securities  Act in the aggregate amount of $127,962 to five investors,  all  of

whom were accredited  investors  and/or  existing  shareholders of the Company.

During the same period, under Section 4(2) of the Securities  Act  the  Company

issued  277,000  shares  of common stock and 100,000 warrants to four investors

for goods and services having  a  fair  market  value  of  $42,566.  All common

shares issued above are restricted subject to Rule 144.

 

NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

     The Company has a stock option plan under which employees, consultants and

others  may  be  awarded  incentive  or non-statutory stock options.  The  plan

authorizes the grant of options for the  purchase  of up to 6 million shares of

common stock. At December 31, 2001 options outstanding,  all of which were non-

statutory, totaled 1,021,175.  New options to purchase 650,000  shares of stock

were granted to employees at prices from $0.20 to $0.25 during the  six  months

ended June 30, 2002.  Of the options granted, 350,000 vested immediately,  with

the  balance  vesting  over  four  years.  Based on the intrinsic value method,

150,000 of the vesting options included a compensation element in the amount of

$3,000.   During the three months ended  June  30,  2002,  employees  forfeited

200,000 of the issued but unvested options.

 

NOTE 6 - CONTRACT WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY

 

     During  2001  the  Company  designed, assembled, and installed a precision

gear cleaning ice blast system under  the  terms  of a purchase order from Ford

Motor Company. The purchase order is for a price of approximately $341,000 with

commitments  for  an  additional  three similar systems.  In  June  2002,  Ford

notified the Company that Ford has accepted the system and that orders for more

systems will be forthcoming.  Management believes the delivery of these systems

could occur in 2002 or 2003.    During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Ford

paid all amounts due to the Company  under  the  terms  of the initial purchase

order.

 

     As a result of Ford's acceptance of the gear cleaning  system, the Company

recognized approximately $341,000 in revenue during the quarter  ended June 30,

2002.   Costs  associated  with  the  system, also recognized during the  three

months ended June 30, 2002, were approximately  $344,000 resulting in a loss of

approximately $3,000. Because of the initial design  costs associated with this

project,  the  foregoing  results were in line with management's  expectations.

However, management expects  that  future systems will provide the Company with

margins that will secure the profitability of the Company in the long term.

 

NOTE 7 - FOREIGN OPERATIONS

 

     During the six month period ended  June  30,  2002, the Company reached an

agreement in principle to acquire certain assets of  its Dutch distributor. The

Company is in the process of forming a Dutch subsidiary  in order to consummate

the transaction.  Terms are still being negotiated and no definitive agreements

have been signed.  The Company expects to finalize the formation  of  its Dutch

subsidiary and the acquisition of these assets during the second half of fiscal

2002.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

      The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction  with

the Company's  interim  consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in

this Quarterly Report on  Form  10-QSB  (the  "Quarterly  Report") and with the

Company's consolidated annual financial statements and management's  discussion

and analysis included in the Company's December 31, 2001 Annual Report  on Form

10-KSB (the "Annual Report").  

 

       Certain   forward-looking  statements  contained  herein  regarding  the

Company's business  and  prospects  are  based  upon numerous assumptions about

future  conditions,  which may ultimately prove to  be  inaccurate  and  actual

results may materially  differ  from  anticipated  results  described  in  such

statements. The Company's ability to achieve such results is subject to certain

risks  and  uncertainties,  such  as  the  impact  of  competition and pricing,

changing market conditions, general economic conditions,  the Company's history

of  losses  and  need  for additional capital and other risks.  Forward-looking

statements are identified  by  words such as "believe", "anticipate", "expect",

"intend", "plan", "will", "may", "confident" and other similar expressions. Any

forward-looking statements contained herein represent the Company's judgment as

of the date hereof. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to

update such forward-looking statements.  As  a  result, the reader is cautioned

not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained herein.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The  Company's  financial statements and accompanying  notes  are  prepared  in

accordance with accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States

of  America.  Preparing  financial  statements   requires  management  to  make

estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported   amounts  of  assets,

liabilities,  revenue,  and  expenses.  These  estimates  and  assumptions  are

affected   by   management's   application  of  accounting  policies.  Critical

accounting  policies  for Universal  Ice  Blast  include  revenue  recognition,

accounting  for research  and  development  costs,  and  accounting  for  stock

compensation expense, as well as the preparation of the financial statements on

a going concern basis.

 

Revenue Recognition  -  Revenue from the sale of stand alone Ice Blast machines

and accessories to end users and distributors are shipped FOB shipping point at

which time the title passes  and revenue is recognized. Where customers require

installation services and operational  acceptance,  shipment is FOB destination

and  revenue  is  recognized  upon  acceptance  by the customer.  Revenue  from

services is recognized as the services are provided. Revenue from the rental of

Ice Blast machines is recognized over the rental  period  based on the terms of

the rental agreements.

 

Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs  are charged to

expense  as  incurred.  These  costs primarily consist of salaries, development

materials, supplies and related  costs  of  personnel  directly involved in the

research and development of new technology.

Stock-Based  Compensation  -  The Company applies Accounting  Principles  Board

Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Options Issued to Employees," and related

interpretations including Financial  Accounting  Standards Board Interpretation

No.  44,  "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving  Stock  Compensation."

The Company  accounts  for  stock-based  compensation  to  employees  using the

intrinsic  value  method,  whereby  compensation  cost  is  recognized when the

exercise price at the date of grant is less than the fair market  value  of the

Company's   common   stock.  The  Company  discloses  the  proforma  effect  of

compensation cost based  on  the fair value method for determining compensation

cost.  The  value  of stock-based  compensation  awarded  to  non-employees  is

determined using the  fair  value  method. Compensation cost is recognized over

the service or vesting period.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to three months ended June 30, 2001

 

     During the three months ended June 30, 2002, revenues increased by 553% to

$410,000 as compared to the three months  ended  June  30, 2001. Second quarter

2002 sales of machines and accessories increased to $381,000 from $7,000 during

the  comparable  three month period of 2001, while service  and  rental  income

decreased 49% to $29,000  during  the  three  months  ended  June 30, 2001 from

$56,000 during the comparable period of 2001. The increase in  machine sales is

due  to  the  recognition of revenue on the Ford gear cleaning system  project.

Machine revenue  also  includes  $3,000  in  amortization  of deferred gains on

sale/leaseback transactions originating in 1999.  The decrease  in  service and

rental  income is attributable to fewer service jobs performed during  2002  as

well as the  Company's  focus  on  installation  and support of the Ford system

during 2002 at the expense of potential rental opportunities.

 

     Gross profit decreased to $15,000 during the  three  months ended June 30,

2002 as compared to $42,000 during the comparable period of  the prior year. As

a percent of sales, gross profit decreased to 4% during the three  months ended

June  30,  2002 as compared to 67% during the comparable period of 2001.  Gross

profits from  sales  of  machines  and accessories increased $10,000 to $15,000

during the three months ended June 30,  2002  compared  to  the comparable 2001

period. Second quarter 2002 gross profits include the sale of  a  machine  to a

customer  in  Japan  offset  by a $3,000 loss on the Ford gear cleaning system.

Gross profits for the comparable  2001  period  relate primarily to the sale of

parts  and  accessories  as  no machines were sold during  that  period.  Gross

profits from services and rental  income  decreased  to a loss of $1,000 during

the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to profits  of $36,000 for the

comparable  period  of 2001. The $37,000 decrease in service and  rental  gross

profit is the result  of  decreased  volumes,  lower  rental  and service rates

obtained on 2002 work and an increase in depreciation expense on new equipment.

 

      For  the  three  months  ended  June 30, 2002, general and administrative

expense increased 21% to $221,000 from $183,000 during the comparable period of

2001. Increased payroll costs of $57,000  due, in part, to the appointment of a

Chief  Engineer  and  a  Production  Engineer as  well  as  increased  employee

benefits,  were offset by reductions in  fees  paid  to  financing  and  public

relations consultants and decreased SEC compliance expenses.

 

     Research and development expenses increased 1% to $50,000 during the three

months ended  June 30, 2002 as compared to $49,000 during the comparable period

of 2001. The $1,000 increase in research and development expenses is the result

of less management  and  consultant  time  spent on the Ford project, offset by

increases in patent expense and general research and development.

     Selling and marketing expenses increased  $36,000  to  $49,000  during the

three  months  ended  June  30,  2002 as compared to $13,000 for the comparable

prior  year  period.  The  increase  in   selling  and  marketing  expenses  is

attributable to the hiring of a Vice President  of  Sales  & Marketing in early

2002 as well as the settlement costs associated with a dispute  with  a  former

sales representative.

 

      The Company's operating losses increased by $103,000 to $306,000 for  the

three months  ended June 30, 2002 from $203,000 for the comparable 2001 period.

The $37,000 decrease  in  gross profit on service and rental sales, the $38,000

increase  in general and administrative  costs  and  the  $36,000  increase  in

selling and  marketing  expenses  represent  the  majority  of  the  decline in

profitability.   Management  anticipates  incurring additional future operating

losses through the remainder of 2002.

 

      During the quarter ended June 30, 2002,  the  Company  recorded  interest

income in the amount of $19,000 in connection with Shareholder notes receivable

in the  aggregate  amount  of  approximately  $1,170,000. The Shareholder notes

receivable resulted from the Company's issuance of common stock to officers and

employees  during the year ended December 31, 2001.  The  Company  reported  no

interest income during the three month period ended June 30, 2001.

 

     Interest  expense  increased by $11,000 to $20,000 during the three months

ended June 30, 2002 as compared  to  $9,000  for the comparable three months of

the prior year. This increase is the result of  interest  on new long-term debt

and  notes payable that the Company incurred in late 2001 and  in  2002.  As  a

result  of the Company's working capital deficit of $742,000, interim financing

necessary  to  settle  operating  liabilities  arising  from  the  assembly and

installation  of  the  Ford  gear  cleaning  system  as  well as to cover other

operating  expenses is anticipated to be expensive if adequate  equity  capital

cannot be raised.  Should the Company be required to finance anticipated future

operations with debt  as  opposed  to  equity,  future  interest expense can be

expected to increase significantly.

 

Six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to six months ended June 30, 2001

 

     During the six months ended June 30, 2002, revenues  increased  by 247% to

$456,000  as  compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. Sales of machines

and accessories during the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased to $385,000

from $10,000 during  the comparable six month period of 2001, while service and

rental income decreased  41%  to  $71,000  during the six months ended June 30,

2001  from  $121,000 during the comparable period  of  2001.  The  increase  in

machine sales  is  due  to the recognition of revenue on the Ford gear cleaning

system  project.  Machine revenue  also  includes  $6,000  in  amortization  of

deferred  gains  on  sale/leaseback   transactions  originating  in  1999.   In

addition, during the six months ended June  30,  2002, orders were received and

assembly initiated on two machines for customers other  than Ford.  The Company

has  invoiced  customers  for approximately $185,000 on these  orders  but  all

revenue has been deferred until the machines are complete, shipped and accepted

by the customers.  The decrease in service and rental income is attributable to

fewer service jobs performed  during  2002  as  well  as the Company's focus on

installation  and  support of the Ford system during 2002  at  the  expense  of

potential rental opportunities.

     Gross profit decreased  to  $24,000  during  the six months ended June 30,

2002 as compared to $75,000 during the comparable period  of the prior year. As

a percent of sales, gross profit decreased to 5% during the  six  months  ended

June  30,  2002  as compared to 89% during the comparable period of 2001. Gross

profits from sales  of  machines  and  accessories  increased $9,000 to $18,000

during  the  six  months ended June 30, 2002 compared to  the  comparable  2001

period. Gross profits  in  2002  include the sale of a machine to a customer in

Japan offset by a $2,000 loss on the  Ford  gear cleaning system. Gross profits

for  the comparable 2001 period relate primarily  to  the  sale  of  parts  and

accessories  as  no  machines  were sold during that period. Gross profits from

services and rental income decreased to $6,000 during the six months ended June

30, 2002 as compared to $66,000  for the comparable period of 2001. The $60,000

decrease in service and rental gross profit is the result of decreased volumes,

lower  rental and service rates obtained  on  2002  work  and  an  increase  in

depreciation expense on new equipment.

 

     For the six months ended June 30, 2002, general and administrative expense

increased  32%  to $405,000 from $307,000 during the comparable period of 2001.

Payroll costs increased  approximately $91,000 due, in part, to the appointment

of a Chief Engineer and a  Production  Engineer  as  well as increased employee

benefits.  Facilities rent increased $11,000 while fees  paid  to financing and

public  relations  consultants  increased $13,000.  Offsetting these  increases

were reductions of $27,000 in accounting and SEC compliance costs.

 

     Research and development expenses  decreased  3% to $93,000 during the six

months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $96,000 during  the comparable period

of 2001. The $3,000 decrease in research and development expenses is the result

of  less  management and consultant time spent on the Ford project,  offset  by

increases in patent expense and general research and development.

 

     Selling and marketing expenses increased $43,000 to $69,000 during the six

months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $26,000 for the comparable prior year

period. The  increase  in selling and marketing expenses is attributable to the

hiring of a Vice President  of  Sales  & Marketing in early 2002 as well as the

settlement costs associated with a dispute with a former sales representative.

 

     The Company's operating losses increased  by  $189,000 to $544,000 for the

six months ended June 30, 2002 from $355,000 for the  comparable  2001  period.

The  $60,000  decrease in gross profit on service and rental sales, the $98,000

increase in general  and  administrative  expenses  and the $43,000 increase in

selling and marketing expenses accounted for the increase  in operating losses.

Management anticipates incurring additional future operating losses through the

remainder of 2002.

 

     During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company  recorded  interest

income in the amount of $38,000 in connection with Shareholder notes receivable

in  the  aggregate  amount  of  approximately $1,170,000. The Shareholder notes

receivable resulted from the Company's issuance of common stock to officers and

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

     As of June 30, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $46,000.

During the six  months  ended  June 30, 2002, operating activities used cash of

$98,000 as compared to $249,000  during 2001. Cash used by operating activities

resulted primarily from the Company's  net  loss  reduced  by  working  capital

movements,  particularly  liquidation of balances related to the Ford contract,

as well as depreciation, amortization  and  other non-cash charges. The Company

used cash of $600 for capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30,

2002  as  compared  to  $22,000  for  2001.  The  Company  has  no  significant

commitments for future purchases of capital assets.

 

     Financing activities provided cash of $90,000  during the six months ended

June  30,  2002  as compared to $208,000 during 2001. Cash  has  been  provided

primarily from sale  of  Company Common Stock and, during 2002, the issuance of

notes payable to lenders.  Sales of common stock provided $128,000 and $248,000

during 2002 and 2001, respectively. Proceeds from the issuance of notes payable

were $149,000 in the first six  months  of  2002 and zero during the comparable

2001 period. Repayments on the notes were $76,000  in 2002. Payments on capital

lease obligations used cash of $36,000 and $28,000 during  2002 and 2001. Long-

term debt repayments were $17,000 in 2002 as compared to $8,000  in  2001.  The

Company  borrows  and  repays, on a revolving basis, cash advances from its two

Founders and Officers. Repayment  of  such advances totaled $61,000 and $54,000

in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

     The Company had a working capital  deficit of $742,000 and a stockholders'

deficit  of  $897,000  at  June  30,  2002. Management's  plans  for  continued

existence include a focus towards rental  and  sale  of  ice blast machines and

away from services. The Company is actively pursuing marketing arrangements for

their products in the precision, environmental and industrial cleaning markets.

These  efforts include the arrangement with Ford Motor Company  as  more  fully

described in Note 6.

 

     In  order  to  preserve liquidity, the Company's two founders and officers

have been paid no cash  compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Instead, during the first  half  of  2002,  as in prior periods, these officers

have sold portions of their personal holdings  of  the  Company's common stock.

During  the  six  months  ended June 30, 2002, such sales collectively  totaled

170,000 shares for the two officers.

 

     The Company's future success  is  dependent  upon  its  ability to achieve

profitable  operations  and generate cash from operating activities,  and  upon

obtaining additional financing.  There is no assurance that the Company will be

able to generate sufficient  cash  from  operations  or  through  the  sale  of

additional shares of common stock or additional borrowings.

                                  FORM 10-QSB

 

      The  current expansion of the Company's business demands that significant

financial resources  be  raised  to  fund capital expenditures, working capital

needs, debt service and the cash flow  deficits  expected  to be generated over

the next three to six months by operating losses. Current cash balances and the

realization of accounts receivable will not be sufficient to fund the Company's

current business plan beyond the next two months.   Consequently,  the  Company

is  currently  seeking  convertible debt and/or additional equity financing  as

well as the placement of a credit facility, in the aggregate amount of at least

$250,000,  to  fund the Company's  immediate  liquidity  needs.  Management  is

currently negotiating  with  existing shareholders as well as other individuals

and organizations in order to obtain the working capital necessary to meet both

current and future obligations  and  commitments.  To  further supplement these

activities, the Company has engaged two investment-banking  firms  to assist in

securing   funding,  with  an  objective  of  raising  at  least   $2  million.

Management is  confident  that  these efforts will produce financing to further

the growth of the Company.  Nevertheless,  there  can  be no assurance that the

Company will be able to raise additional capital on satisfactory  terms  or  at

all.  In the event that the Company is unable to obtain such additional capital

or to obtain  it  on  acceptable  terms  or  in  sufficient amounts, the impact

thereof  would  have  a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,

operating results and financial condition as  well  as  its  ability to service

debt  requirements.  The consolidated financial statements do not  include  any

adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

     As disclosed in an  explanatory  paragraph  in  the  Report of Independent

Accountants   on  the  Company's  December  31,  2001  consolidated   financial

statements included in the Annual Report, the foregoing liquidity and financial

conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a

going concern.

 

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

     The Company  believes  that  it  does  not  have  any material exposure to

interest  or  commodity  risks.   The  Company  does  not  own  any  derivative

instruments and does not engage in any hedging transactions.
