STERLING CONSOLIDATED CORP
AND AFFILIATES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2018
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim financial statements
have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for
the period ended, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2017 audited financial statements.
The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full years.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The accounting policies applied by the
Company in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited consolidated
financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2017.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC
606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, and all of the related amendments (“new revenue standard”).
Under this method, we are required to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment
to the opening balance of retained earnings. The adjustment was not material, and therefore was not made. This results in no restatement
of prior periods, which continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact
of the adoption of the new revenue standard to continue to be immaterial on an ongoing basis.
The impact of recording this change as of January 1, 2018 resulted
in an increase in no change to deferred revenue at that date and a no corresponding change in retained earnings as well. The impact
of adopting the new revenue standard in 2018 did not create a material impact on our financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed
in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing
basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable and sales allowances, fair values of financial
instruments, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, inventory valuations, income taxes, and contingent liabilities,
among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Inventories
Inventories, which are entirely comprised
of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (based on the first in, first out method) or market. Cost does not include shipping
and handling fees, which are charged directly to income. The Company provides for estimated losses from obsolete or slow-moving
inventories, which is approximately 20% of the total inventory, and writes down the cost of inventory at the time such determinations
are made. Reserves are estimated based upon inventory on hand, historical sales activity, industry trends, the business environment,
and the expected net realizable value. The net realizable value is determined based upon current awareness of market prices.

STERLING CONSOLIDATED CORP
AND AFFILIATES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2018
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes
revenue based on Account Standards Codification
(“ASC”)
606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
,
and all of the related amendments (“new revenue standard”). In the case of Sterling, revenue is recognized only when
the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment of the product has occurred, price is
fixed or determinable and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For provision of third-party
freight services provided by Integrity, revenue is recognized on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606. Revenue is generally
recognized when the contracted goods arrive at their destination point. When revenues and expenses straddle a period end due
to the time between shipment and delivery, Integrity allocates revenue between reporting periods based on relative transit time
in each period with expenses recognized as incurred. Cost of goods is comprised of sale of o-rings and related rubber products.
Freight services is comprised of freight forwarding and related services earned by Integrity and rental services is comprised of
revenue from rental of commercial space to third parties.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
The Company has
adopted ASC Update 2017-11
, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260),
(the “new pronouncement”) for the period ended
March 31, 2018. This new pronouncement calls for a change in the accounting for “down round” feature equity linked
instruments such as option, warrants and convertible notes. “Down round” features are features that result in the
strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Previous accounting guidance required a fair
value measurement each accounting period on an ongoing basis and treatment of the instrument as a derivative liability with the
change in the value of the liability recognized on the income statement. The new pronouncement requires that the effect of the
down round feature is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to commons shareholders in basic EPS. While
the Company has 10,800,000 options currently outstanding as of March 31, 2018, all of these options are at a fixed price and were
fully vested upon issuance on December 27, 2018. Consequently, they do not have “down round” features and the earnings
per share calculations are unaffected by the new pronouncement.
The computation
of basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods
presented. The computation of fully diluted earnings (loss) per share includes common stock equivalents outstanding at the balance
sheet date. The Company had 10,800,000 and zero stock options and warrantsthat were considered as common stock equivalents as
of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management has considered
all recent accounting pronouncements. Management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on
the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 – STOCK TRANSACTIONS
On January 29,
2018, the Company signed a stock for services agreement authorizing the issuance of 750,000 shares of stock to a consultant at
a valuation of $.13/share related to its development of DiMO, the Company’s proprietary cryptocurrency. $97,500 was expensed
to research and development for the 3 months ended March 31, 2018.
Regulation A Offering and Property Dividend
On February 14, 2018, the Company announced
a property dividend of its internally developed cryptocurrency, DiMO. The dividend called for 950 DiMO to be distributed to shareholders

Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada
as Oceanview Acquisition Corp. on January 31, 2011. On May 18, 2012, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name
to Sterling Consolidated Corp.
Our largest subsidiary is Sterling Seal
& Supply, Inc. (“Sterling Seal”), a New Jersey corporation which was incorporated in 1997. Its predecessor was
Sterling Plastic & Rubber Products, Inc., incorporated in New Jersey and was founded in 1970. Sterling Seal engages primarily
in the distribution and sale of O-rings, rubber seals, oil seals, custom molded rubber parts, custom Teflon parts, Teflon rods,
O-ring cord, bonded seals, O-ring kits, and stuffing box sealant.
We also own real property through our subsidiaries
ADDR Properties, LLC (“ADDR”) and Q5 Ventures, LLC (“Q5”). ADDR owns a 28,000 square foot facility in Neptune,
New Jersey, that is primarily used by Sterling Seal for its operations.
In addition, our subsidiary Integrity Cargo
Freight Corporation (“Integrity”) is a freight forwarding business. Integrity shares a facility with Sterling Seal
and manages the importation of Sterling Seal’s products and exports products on behalf of Sterling Seal to various countries.
Currently eighty percent (80%) of Sterling Seal’s imports come from Asia, and ten percent (10%) of the Company’s sales
are exported to various countries. However, all payables are billed and collected in USD, so Sterling does not bear any foreign
exchange risk on open payables.
Results of Operations
Comparison for the three months ended
March 31, 2018 and 2017
Net Revenue
Net revenue increased by $14,112 or 0.79
%, from $1,783,344 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $1,797,456 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This increase
was due primarily to price increases due to cost increase in the Company’s cost of purchasing o-rings offset by slightly
decreased product demand across the o-ring sector.
Total Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased by $110,268 or
9.04 %, from $1,219,987 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $1,330,255 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This
increase was due primarily to market price increases of raw materials.
Gross profit
Gross profit decreased by $96,156 or 17.07
%, from $563,357 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $467,201 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The gross profit
margin decreased from31.59% the three months ended March 31, 2017 to 25.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This decrease
was due primarily to the above described increase in cost of goods sold due to increased material costs in the rubber products
sector.
Net Income
As a result of the above factors, the Company
showed a net loss of $99,702 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to a net income of $88,959 for the three months
ended March 31, 2017. This decrease of $188,661 or approximately 212.08% is attributed to a combination of increased cost of goods
sold, increased total operating expenses due to an increase of $41,135 in sales and marketing costs, a loss on disposal of software
of $20,498 and research & development costs of $112,500 related to the Company’s development of its proprietary cryptocurrency.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash requirements for, but not limited
to, working capital, capital expenditures, and debt repayments have been funded from cash balances on hand, revolver borrowings,
loans from officers, notes payable and cash generated from operations.
On March 31, 2018, we had cash and
cash equivalents of $25,474 as compared to $36,888 as of December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $11,414. This decrease
can be explained by net cash provided by operating activities of $32,187 primarily attributed to a decrease in inventory of
$191,918, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $179,432; and net cash used in financing activities of $43,601
primarily attributed to paydown of loans to related party in the amount of $35,819. On March 31, 2018, our working capital
was $58,022.
The cash flow provided by operating activities
decreased from $95,675 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 to net cash provided of $32,187 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
This decrease of $63,488 is primarily attributed to an increase in deferred tax asset. Additionally, net loss for the period ended
March 31, 2018 was $99,702 compared to a net income of $88,959 for the period ended March 31, 2017. This decrease in net income
is explained by decreased gross profit due to rising materials costs in the first quarter of 2018, as well as one-time charges
of $112,500 for research and development and loss on disposal of software for $20,498 during the period ended March 31, 2018.
The cash flow from investing activities
increased from cash used of $39,778 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 to net cash used of $0 for the quarter ended March 31,
2018. This increase is attributed to the fact that in the 1
st
quarter of 2017, the Company purchased $39,778 in fixed
assets and did not make any fixed asset purchases in the first quarter of 2018.
The cash flow from financing activities
decreased from net cash provided of $11,163 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 to net cash used of $43,601 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2018. This decrease is primarily attributed to a net borrowing on line of credit of $30,000 in the quarter ended March
31, 2017 and a paydown on the related party loan in the amount of $35,819 in the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Bank Loans
The Company refinanced its debt in 2013
with a New York commercial bank and there are currently a $828,858 line of credit and a $1,078,950 mortgage outstanding. The line
of credit calls for a variable interest rate of the Wall St. Journal published prime rate plus 1% and requires an annual review.
The mortgage has a variable rate of LIBOR plus 4.25% and is for a 5-year term expiring in October of 2018. The Company is currently
in violation of one of its financial covenants with the bank and is seeking a waiver.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial
Statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures pertaining to
contingent assets and liabilities. Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements
describes the significant accounting policies used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis we evaluate
our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to bad debts, inventories, income taxes, and contingencies. We base
our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from our estimates.
We believe the following accounting policies
and estimates are the most critical. Some of them involve significant judgments and uncertainties and could potentially result
in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue based on
Account Standards Codification
(“ASC”)
606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, and all
of the related amendments (“new revenue standard”). In the case of Sterling, revenue is recognized only when the price
is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment of the product has occurred, price is fixed or
determinable and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The new revenue standard does not materially
change this calculation method. For provision of third-party freight services provided by Integrity, revenue is recognized
on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606. Revenue is generally recognized when the contracted goods arrive at their destination
point. When revenues and expenses straddle a period end due to the time between shipment and delivery, Integrity allocates
revenue between reporting periods based on relative transit time in each period with expenses recognized as incurred. Cost of
goods is comprised of sale of o-rings and related rubber products. Freight services is comprised of freight forwarding and related
services earned by Integrity and rental services is comprised of revenue from rental of commercial space to third parties.
Income taxes
Under the asset and liability method prescribed
under
ASC 740, Income Taxes
, the Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability
method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date
to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial
statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities have been adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they
occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the financial statement
benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in
an examination. For tax positions meeting a "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount to be recognized in the financial
statements will be the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the
threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.
Fair values of financial instruments
In January 2010, the FASB ASC Topic 825,
Financial
Instruments
, requires
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in quarterly reports as well as in
annual reports. For the Company, this statement applies to certain investments and long-term debt. Also,
the FASB ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
clarifies the definition of fair value for financial
reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.
Various inputs are considered when determining
the value of the Company’s investments and long-term debt. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities
are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. These inputs are summarized
in the three broad levels listed below.
|
|
·
|
Level
1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
|
·
|
Level
2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc…).
|
|
|
·
|
Level
3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
|
The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC
Topic 825, effectively at the beginning of the second quarter in FY 2010, did not have a material impact on the company’s
financial statements.
The carrying value of financial assets
and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured
on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial
assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities
measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation
at fair value of the stock provided for services. The 10,800,000 of the stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2018 were fully
vested and therefore, no compensation expense was recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management has considered
all recent accounting pronouncements. Management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the
Company’s financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
