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 September 30, 1998 and the
statements of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and for the period from April 23, 1991 (inception) to
September 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 nine month periods ended September 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.

<PAGE>
PART 1
ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER 1998 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER 1997
REVENUES. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998
("Third Quarter 1998") were $284,000 as compared with revenues of $399,000 in
the three months ended September 30, 1997 ("Third 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. Because of the
Company's current focus on development, the Company does not intend to pursue
any additional significant grants.
The Company has focused its efforts on developing its core products and
technologies (the CLIMATE CONTROL SEAT-TM- (CCS-TM-) system and the
AMERIGUARD-TM- Radar System), developing the manufacturing capability for
such products and bringing them to market as rapidly as possible. Because of
the current development focus, the Company has decided not to pursue actively
any more significant grants. The Company has recently received several
development contracts to adapt the CCS-TM- system to the seats of specific
automobile models. Although these development contracts will in the short
run generate only modest revenues for the Company, such contracts are a
necessary step toward obtaining production contracts. Significant revenues
in the Company's industry are dependent upon large volume production, and
such necessary production levels can only be obtained as a result of
production contracts. In addition, the Company has recently been selected by
a major automotive seat supplier to provide the CCS-TM- system in a model
year 2000 vehicle.
DIRECT DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AND RELATED GRANT COSTS. No direct
development contract and related grant costs were incurred in the Third
Quarter 1998 compared to $536,000 in the Third Quarter 1997 primarily due to
the end of activity in the Company's electric vehicle program (related to
development contracts). 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 Third Quarter 1998.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased to $1,119,000 in Third Quarter 1998 from $591,000 in Third Quarter
1997. The increase in Third Quarter 1998 was due to higher levels of research
and development activity on the Company's CCS-TM- system. As mentioned
previously, all expenses related to prototype orders from customers for this
product, the radar product and the electric vehicle program are now recorded as
research
(8)
<PAGE>
and development expense. As the Company focuses on the development of its
core products, these expenses can be expected to increase in future periods.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, General and
Administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased to $885,000 in Third Quarter 1998
compared to $1,091,000 in Third Quarter 1997. The decrease in Third Quarter
1998 was primarily due to a reduction in outside services, telephone,
recruiting and to a lesser extent most other expenses in the administrative
category, as support requirements have decreased from the prior year with the
reduction and end of activity in the Company's electric vehicle program as of
September 30, 1998 and the spinoff of the voice navigation business. There
was also a reclassification of personnel to another department.
INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income in 1998 decreased due to a decline
in invested cash.
NINE MONTHS 1998 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS 1997
REVENUES. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
("1998") were $649,000 as compared with revenues of $1,146,000 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 ("1997"). The decrease was primarily due to
the same reasons as given for the quarter.
DIRECT DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AND RELATED GRANT COSTS. No direct
development contract and related grant costs were incurred in the 1998
compared to $2,424,000 in 1997. The decrease was primarily due to the same
reasons as given for the quarter.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased to $3,271,000 in 1998 from $1,303,000 in 1997 for the same reasons
given for the quarter.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, General and
Administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased to $2,855,000 in 1998 compared to
$3,280,000 in 1997. The decrease was primarily due to the end of activity in
the Company's electric vehicle program, the spin-off of the voice navigation
business, costs associated with a Company financing in 1997 and relocation
costs for key personnel.
INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income in 1998 decreased due to a decline
in invested cash.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $3,509,000.
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 $2,327,000 in 1998 primarily due
to cash used in operating activities. Operating activities used $5,272,000,
which was primarily a result of the net
(9)
<PAGE>
loss of $5,247,000. Investing activities provided $2,953,000, of which
$2,400,000 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 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 before
the Company can achieve profitability from its operations. There can be no
assurance that profitability can be achieved in the future. Although the
Company has begun limited production on its CLIMATE CONTROL SEAT-TM-
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 and its ability to
obtain additional financing. 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 its CLIMATE CONTROL
SEAT-TM- system and the AMERIGUARD-TM- Radar System, 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.
STATUS OF LISTING ON NASDAQ
In June of 1998, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") Board of Governors informed the Company that the Company's Class A
Common Stock (the "Common Stock") was not in compliance with NASD
Marketplace Rule (4310)(c)(4). That rule requires that securities listed on
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market maintain a bid price at or above a certain minimum
level, and the NASD requested that the Company either (a) remedy such failure
to comply within three months or (b) deliver a proposal to the NASD providing
the Company's plan to bring the Common Stock into compliance. Failure to
return to compliance could result in
(10)
<PAGE>
removal of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. In October of
1998, the Company submitted to the NASD its proposal for compliance, which
included a proposal to conduct a reverse stock split to raise the minimum bid
price of the Common Stock. However, there is no assurance that the NASD will
accept the Company's proposal and the NASD may decide to delist the Common
Stock.
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
Impact of Year 2000. The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of many
existing computer programs and embedded microprocessors using only two digits
to refer to the year. The year 1998, for example, is represented in such a
two digit system as "98." All dates are presumed to begin with the familiar
"19." Many computer programs and embedded microprocessors will fail to
properly recognize years after 1999. Date calculations and sorting functions
based on the date field may be processed incorrectly. Also, certain programs
use the date field for non-date related programming purposes (for example,
the two digit date code may be used in a "random number" generator where the
result is divided by the two digit date).
Because the Company's computer equipment and machinery with embedded
microprocessors are all fairly new models, and after conducting a review of
the Company's internal computer information systems, the Company believes
that it does not have any internal Year 2000 Issues.
Nevertheless, the Company is currently engaged in surveying its
suppliers and business partners, including suppliers, banks and other
financial institutions with whom the Company engages in integrated
transactions, regarding whether they are Year 2000 compliant. The survey is
not yet complete and, accordingly, the Company is currently unable to
evaluate the extent to which such entities may not be Year 2000 compliant and
the effect that might have on the Company. The Company has established
programs to ensure that current and future purchases are Year 2000 compliant.
The Company is currently in the process of developing contingency plans
in the event the Company or its significant suppliers or vendors are not Year
2000 compliant by January 1, 2000. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to develop a contingency plan that will adequately address
issues that may arise in the Year 2000.
Based on currently available information, management does not believe
that the Year 2000 matters discussed above will have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations;
however, because of the uncertainties in this area, no assurances can be
given in this regard. The Company is vulnerable to external forces that
general affect industry and commerce, such as utility or transportation
infrastructure facilities and interruptions. There can be no assurance that
supply chains and delivery shipments will not be disrupted for an unknown
period of time. In addition, there can be no assurance that the failure to
ensure Year 200 capability by a supplier or another third party will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company.
The above statements are "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures" for purposes of
The Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.
