AMERIGON INCORPORATED
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY:
Amerigon Incorporated (the "Company") is a development stage enterprise,
which was incorporated in California on April 23, 1991 primarily to develop,
manufacture and market proprietary, high technology automotive components and
systems for gasoline-powered and electric vehicles.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 and the statements of
operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and
for the period from April 23, 1991 (inception) to June 30, 1998 have been
prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three month
and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT REVENUES AND RELATED GRANTS. Historically, the Company
entered into a number of fixed price contracts under which revenue is recognized
using the percentage of completion method, or in the case of short duration
contracts, when the prototype or services are delivered. Development contract
revenues earned are recorded on the balance sheet as Unbilled Revenue until
billed. The Company has received government grants, which paralleled one of its
development contracts. These grants are included in development contract and
related grant revenues.
GRANT REVENUES. Revenue from government agency grants and other sources
pursuant to cost-sharing arrangements is recognized when reimbursable costs have
been incurred. Grant revenues earned are recorded on the balance sheet as
Unbilled Revenue until billed.
(6)
<PAGE>
NOTE 3 - NET LOSS PER SHARE:
The Company's net loss per share calculations are based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Excluded from this
calculation are the 3,000,000 Escrowed Contingent Shares. Common stock
equivalents (stock options and stock warrants) are anti-dilutive in both periods
and are excluded from the net loss per share calculation.
NOTE 4 - RECEIVABLE DUE FROM JOINT VENTURE PARTNER
The receivable due from IVS, Inc., a joint venture formed between Amerigon
and Yazaki Corporation, was paid on July 23, 1998.

PART 1
ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SECOND QUARTER 1998 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER 1997
REVENUES. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 ("Second
Quarter 1998") were $281,000 as compared with revenues of $350,000 in the three
months ended June 30, 1997 ("Second Quarter 1997"). The decrease in development
contract and related grant revenues was due principally to the completion of
development contracts, somewhat offset by an increase in revenues related to
prototype seat contracts. The Company does not intend to pursue any additional
significant grants or development contracts. Additionally the Company made its
first production shipments of its Climate Control Seat systems in Second Quarter
1998.
The Company has focused its efforts on developing its core products and
technologies (the Climate Control Seat system and radar-based sensing devices),
developing the manufacturing capability for such products and bringing them to
market as rapidly as possible. Because of the current development focus, and the
decision not to pursue actively any more significant grants or development
contracts, the Company expects that revenues for the foreseeable future will be
significantly less than in prior periods.
DIRECT DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AND RELATED GRANT COSTS. No direct development
contract and related grant costs were incurred in the Second Quarter 1998
compared to $1,020,000 in the Second Quarter 1997 primarily due to the end of
activity in the Company's electric vehicle program (related to development
contracts) and the divestiture of the IVS-TM- product line. Additionally, all
expenses related to prototype orders from customers for seat and radar products
and costs associated with the electric vehicle program are recorded as research
development expense for the Second Quarter 1998.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased to $1,128,000 in Second Quarter 1998 from $456,000 in Second Quarter
1997. The increase in Second Quarter 1998 was due to higher levels of research
and development activity on the Company's Climate Control Seat system and radar
products. As mentioned previously, all expenses related to prototype orders from
customers for these two products and the electric vehicle program are now
recorded as research and development expense. As the Company focuses on the
development of its core products, these expenses can be expected to increase in
future periods.
(8)
<PAGE>
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased to $957,000 in Second Quarter 1998
compared to $1,395,000 in Second Quarter 1997. The decrease in Second Quarter
1998 was due to a reclassification of personnel and costs incurred in 1997 for
(1) fees related to a proposed joint venture for the electric vehicle business,
(2) legal expenses and (3) relocation expenses. These were somewhat offset by
the fact that no SG&A expenses were allocated to development contracts in 1998
as in the prior year.
INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income in 1998 decreased due to a decline in
invested cash.
SIX MONTHS 1998 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS 1997
REVENUES. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 ("1998") were
$365,000 as compared with revenues of $746,000 in the six months ended June 30,
1997 ("1997"). The decrease was primarily due to the same reasons as given for
the Second Quarter.
DIRECT DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AND RELATED GRANT COSTS. No direct development
contract and related grant costs were incurred in the 1998 compared to
$1,889,000 in 1997. The decrease was primarily due to the same reasons as given
for the Second Quarter.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased to $2,152,000 in 1998 from $712,000 in 1997 for the same reasons given
for the quarter.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased to $1,970,000 in 1998 compared to
$2,189,000 in 1997. The decrease was primarily due to the same reasons as given
for the Second Quarter.
INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income in 1998 decreased due to a decline in
invested cash.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $5,123,000. The
Company's principal sources of operating capital have been the proceeds of its
various financing transactions and, to a lesser extent, revenues from grants,
development contracts and sale of prototypes to customers.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,983,000 in 1998 primarily due to
cash used in operating activities. Operating activities used $3,415,000, which
was primarily a result of the net loss of $3,532,000. Investing activities
provided $1,442,000, of which $1,840,000 was the result of the sale of short
term investments.
The Company expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future due to the
continuing cost of its product development and marketing activities and to begin
volume manufacturing operations when it is required. Current working capital is
not sufficient to fund the Company's operations for
(9)
<PAGE>
the next twelve months. The Company will use current cash and investments,
but will need cash from financing sources to fund its near term operations
and before the Company can achieve profitability from its operations. There
can be no assurance that profitability can be achieved in the future. The
Company is focused on bringing products to market and achieving revenues
based upon its available resources. The Company will continue its program to
divest assets or businesses where it does not have sufficient resources to
bring the product to market and where it will enhance shareholder value. As
has been previously mentioned, the Company is now striving to accomplish a
strategic venture with the Company's electric vehicle program. Although the
Company has begun limited production on its Climate Control Seat product,
larger orders for the seat product and the ability to begin production on the
radar product will require significant expenses for tooling product parts and
to set up manufacturing and/or assembly processes. The Company also expects
to require significant capital to fund other near-term production engineering
and manufacturing, as well as research and development and marketing of these
products. The Company does not intend to pursue significant grants or
development contracts to fund operations and therefore is highly dependent on
its current working capital sources. The Company will require additional
equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that either of these
sources will be available in the future.
Certain matters discussed or referenced in this report, including the
Company's intention to develop, manufacture and market Climate Control Seats and
radar products and the Company's expectation of reduced revenues and continuing
losses for the foreseeable future, are forward looking statements. Other forward
looking statements may be identified by the use of forward looking terminology
such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "estimate", "anticipate",
"continue", or similar terms, variations of such terms or the negative of such
terms. Such statements are based upon management's current expectations and are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements.
Such risks and uncertainties include the market demand for and performance of
the Company's products, the Company's ability to develop, market and manufacture
such products successfully, the viability and protection of the Company's
patents and other proprietary rights, and the Company's ability to obtain new
sources of financing. Additional risks associated with the company and its
business and prospects are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1997.
