PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:
United States Antimony Corporation and Subsidiaries
N otes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020.
For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Going Concern Consideration
At June 30, 2020, the Company’s consolidated financial statements show negative working capital of approximately $2.5 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $29.9 million.  With the exception of 2018, the Company has incurred losses for the past several years.  The net income in 2018 was primarily due to non-recurring events which contributed approximately $2.5 million to net income. These factors indicate that there is substantial doubt regarding the ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
Over the past several years, the Company has been able to make required principal payments on its debt from cash generated from operations.  The abandonment of the mineral properties in Mexico in November 2019 resulted in the removal of approximately $1,500,000 of debt and the related payments which were $86,000 in 2019 and $193,000 in 2018.  In March of 2020, the Company applied for and received funds from a note payable-Small Business Administration (“SBA”) for $443,400. The Company is confident it can make debt payments when due.  In August 2019 and, subsequent to June 30, 2020, in July 2020 the Company was successful in raising $404,199 and $1,849,300, respectively, from the sale of shares of common stock to fund capital projects in Mexico.
The continuing losses are principally a result of the Company’s antimony operations due to both depressed antimony prices and high production costs incurred in Mexico.  To improve conditions, the Company plans to continue searching for areas to reduce production costs, and we have decided to de-emphasize our antimony production and concentrate our resources on finishing the precious metals system in Mexico to take advantage of the current high prices for silver and gold.  Management expects improvement in cash flow in 2020 from the sale of precious metals extracted from the leach circuit scheduled to come on line in Mexico in the second half of 2020.
There can be no assurance that management plans will alleviate the doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months, particularly during the current period of market instability related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

Developments in Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Updates Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update removes, modifies and makes additions to the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The update was adopted as of January 1, 2020, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update contains a number of provisions intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase the Company's common stock and convertible preferred stock.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies
In June of 2013, the Company entered into a lease to mine antimony ore from concessions located in the Wadley Mining district in Mexico. The lease called for a term of one year and required payments of $10,000, plus a tax of $1,700, per month. The lease was renewable each year with a 15 day notice to the lessor and agreement of terms. The lease renewal was scheduled for renewal in June 2020. Subsequent to quarter end, and after discussions with the lessor, in July 2020, the Company decided not to renew the lease due to the continuing low market price for antimony and to reduce Mexican antimony production while seeking other lower cost sources of antimony ore and concentrates. Management will evaluate the carrying value of Wadley assets (approximately $320,000 at June 30, 2020), for impairment during the third quarter of 2020.

Income Taxes
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined that a valuation allowance equal to 100% of any deferred tax asset was appropriate, as management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefit of its net deferred tax asset. The net effect is that the deferred tax asset is fully reserved for at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Management estimates the effective tax rate at 0% for the current year.
In early 2019, the Company was notified by the Mexican tax authority (“SAT”) began its re-assessment of USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return. In November 2019, SAT assessed the Company $16.3 million pesos, which was approximately $696,000 USD as of June 30, 2020.
Management has reviewed the 2019 assessment notice from SAT and believes the findings have no merit. The Company has engaged a tax attorney in Mexico to defend its position. An appeal was filed by the Company in November 2019 suspending SAT from taking immediate action regarding the assessment. The Company posted a guarantee of the amount in March 2020 as is required under the appeal process. Management expects the appeal process to continue through 2020 and into 2021.
At June 30, 2020, management assessed the possible outcomes for this tax audit and believes, based on its discussions with its tax attorney in Mexico, that the most likely outcome will be that the Company will be successful in its appeal resulting in no tax due. Management determined that no amount should be accrued at June 30, 2020 relating to this potential tax liability. There can be no assurance that the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
If an issue addressed during the SAT audit is resolved in a manner inconsistent with management expectations, the Company will adjust its net operating loss carryforward, or accrue penalties, interest, and tax associated with the assessment.
13. Hillgrove Advances Payable
On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into an advance and concentrate processing agreement with Hillgrove Mines Pty Ltd of Australia (Hillgrove) in which the Company was advanced funds from Hillgrove to build facilities to process Hillgrove antimony concentrate. The Company has not processed Hillgrove concentrate for the past two years. The agreement requires the Company to pay the advance balance after Hillgrove issues a stop notice. Payments would begin 90 days after the stop notice issue date and be made in six equal and quarterly installments. The balance of the advance liability due to Hillgrove was $1,134,221 at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Hillgrove was acquired by Red River Resources LTD (“Red River”) during 2019. Although the Company has not received a stop notice through the date these financial statements were issued, management has determined that one might be forthcoming in 2020. Based on management’s assessment of likelihood and the payment terms of the agreement, $378,074 of the balance is classified as current as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Business Segments
The Company is currently organized and managed by four segments, which represent our operating units: United States antimony operations, Mexican antimony operations, precious metals recovery and United States zeolite operations.
The Puerto Blanco mill and the Madero smelter at the Company’s Mexico operation bring antimony up to an intermediate or finished stage, which may be sold directly or shipped to the United States operation for finishing at the Thompson Falls, Montana plant. The Puerto Blanco mill is the site of our crushing and flotation plant, and a cyanide leach plant which will recover precious metals after the ore goes through the crushing and flotation cycles. A precious metals recovery plant is operated in conjunction with the antimony processing plant at Thompson Falls, Montana, where a 99% precious metals mix will be produced. The zeolite operation produces zeolite near Preston, Idaho. Almost all of the sales of products from the United States antimony and zeolite operations are to customers in the United States, although the Company does have a sales operation in Canada.
Segment disclosure regarding sales to major customers is located in Note 4.

15. Note Payable-Small Business Administration Loans and Grant
On April 22, 2020, the Company received a loan of $443,400 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020. The loan, which was in the form of a Note dated April 22, 2020 matures on April 22, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing in August 2021. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.
Under the terms of the loan, certain amounts of the loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. Qualifying expenses include payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, and utilities. The Company intends to use the entire loan amount for qualifying expenses, but there is no guarantee that the loan will be forgiven.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received $10,000 under Division A, Title I, Section 1110 of the CARES Act. The Company is not required to pay this amount back and thus recognized $10,000 as government grant income during the period.

16. Subsequent Events
On July 27, 2020, the Company issued 5,742,858 shares of restricted common stock at $0.35 per share in a private placement transaction. The Company received $1,849,300 net of the transaction fees. Each share includes one warrant to purchase one share for $0.46 per share, with an expiration term of five and one-half years following issuance. The funds will be used for completion of the precious metals recovery system in Mexico and for general corporate activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Response and Impact
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus global pandemic ("COVID-19") in early 2020, in March 2020 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control issued guidelines to mitigate the spread and health consequences of COVID-19. The Company implemented changes to its operations and business practices to follow the guidelines and minimize physical interaction, including using technology to allow employees to work from home when possible and altering production procedures and schedules, asset maintenance, and limiting discretionary spending.  As long as they are required, the operational practices implemented could have an adverse impact on our operating results due to deferred production and revenues or additional costs.  The negative impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain, including on overall business and market conditions.  There is uncertainty related to the potential additional impacts COVID-19 could have on our operations and financial results for the year.
General
Certain matters discussed are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including the impact of antimony prices and production volatility, changing market conditions and the regulatory environment and other risks. Actual results may differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking statements represent our judgment as of the date of this filing. We disclaim, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Net non-cash expense items totaled $272,572 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and included $223,272 for depreciation and amortization, $18,050 for amortization of debt discount, and $31,250 for director compensation. Net non-cash expense items totaled $681,146 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and included $446,546 for depreciation and amortization, $36,338 of debt discount, $136,000 for common stock issued for services, and $62,500 for director compensation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses were $116,560 and $316,531, respectively, compared to $153,909 and $359,083 for the same periods of 2019.
Antimony
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, we sold 233,698 and 529,151 pounds, respectively, of antimony compared to 418,129 and 861,277 pounds, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The raw material received from our North American supplier decreased by approximately 57,000 and 123,000 pounds, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same quarter for 2019. We had a decrease in raw material from Mexico of approximately 128,000 and 209,000 pounds from Mexico for for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same quarter for 2019.
The average sales price of antimony during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 was $3.90 and $3.84 per pound, respectively, compared to $3.61and $3.73, respectively, during the same period in 2019.
Precious Metals
The caustic leach of flotation concentrates from Los Juarez has been successful, and the cyanide leach plant at Puerto Blanco is on schedule to start the pilot production of Los Juarez gold, silver, and antimony during the third quarter of 2020.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, income for precious metals from North American sources was $61,992 and $124,198, compared to $60,523 and $85,050 for the same periods of 2019.

Our net working capital increased by approximately $174,000 from December 31, 2019, to June 30, 2020. Our cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $8,000 during the same period. We spent approximately $200,000 for capital items, and our long term debt increased by approximately $423,000. We have estimated commitments for construction and improvements of less than $100,000 to finish building and installing the precious metals leach circuits. We believe that with our current cash balance, along with the future cash flow from operations and operating agreements, we have adequate liquid assets to meet these commitments and service our debt for the next twelve months. We have lines of credit of $199,998 which have been drawn down by $165,931 at June 30, 2020.
At June 30, 2020, the Company’s consolidated financial statements show negative working capital of approximately $2.5 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $29.9 million.  With the exception of 2018, the Company has incurred losses for the past several years.  The net income in 2018 was primarily due to non-recurring events which contributed approximately $2.5 million to net income. These factors indicate that there is substantial doubt regarding the ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
Over the past several years, the Company has been able to make required principal payments on its debt from cash generated from operations.  The abandonment of the mineral properties in Mexico in November 2019 resulted in the removal of approximately $1,500,000 of debt and the related payments which were $86,000 in 2019 and $193,000 in 2018.  In March of 2020, the Company applied for and received a funds from a note payable-Small Business Administration (“SBA”) for $443,400. The Company is confident it can make debt payments when due.  In August 2019 and, subsequent to June 30, 2020, in July 2020 the Company was successful in raising $404,199 and $1,849,300, respectively, from the sale of shares of common stock to fund capital projects in Mexico.
The continuing losses are principally a result of the Company’s antimony operations due to both depressed antimony prices and high production costs incurred in Mexico.  To improve conditions, the Company plans to continue searching for areas to reduce production costs, and we have decided to de-emphasize our antimony production and concentrate our resources on finishing the precious metals system in Mexico to take advantage of the current high prices for silver and gold.  Management expects improvement in cash flow in 2020 from the sale of precious metals extracted from the leach circuit scheduled to come on line in Mexico in the second half of 2020.
There can be no assurance that management plans will alleviate the doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months, particularly during the current period of market instability related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

I TEM 4. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2020. It was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our disclosure controls and procedures and, as a result of those weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020. These material weaknesses are as follows:
Inadequate design of internal control over the preparation of the financial statements and financial reporting processes;
Inadequate monitoring of internal controls over significant accounts and processes including controls associated with domestic and Mexican subsidiary operations and the period-end financial reporting process; and
The absence of proper segregation of duties within significant processes and ineffective controls over management oversight, including antifraud programs and controls.
We are aware of these material weaknesses and will develop procedures to ensure that independent review of material transactions is performed. The chief financial officer will develop internal control measures to mitigate the lack of inadequate documentation of controls and the monitoring of internal controls over significant accounts and processes including controls associated with the period-ending reporting processes, and to mitigate the segregation of duties within significant accounts and processes and the absence of controls over management oversight, including antifraud programs and controls.
We plan to consult with independent experts when complex transactions are entered into.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no significant changes made to internal controls over financial reporting for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
