NANO MAGIC INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Nano Magic Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Nano Magic” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, develops and sells a portfolio of nano-layer coatings, nano-based cleaners, and nano-composite products based on its proprietary technology.
We develop, manufacture and sell consumer and institutional products using nanotechnology to deliver unique performance attributes at the surfaces of a wide variety of substrates. These products are marketed internationally primarily to customers in the optical industry.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. The balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statement at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on April 3, 2024.
Going Concern
These unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the unaudited financial statements, the Company had losses from operations and net cash used by operations of $734,874 and $476,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, and negative working capital of $369,388. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited financial statements are issued. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations, become cash flow positive or raise additional capital. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and/or classification of the recorded asset amounts and/or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – INVENTORY
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory consisted of the following:
SCHEDULE OF INVENTORY
| | March 31, 2024 | | | December 31, 2023 | |
Raw materials | | $ | 669,416 | | | $ | 648,537 | |

Inventory, net | | $ | 779,991 | | | $ | 849,764 | |
NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARY
The Company holds a note receivable from its subsidiary ANI. On March 15, 2024 we sold $115,000 of the ANI note for cash proceeds of $100,000, reducing the balance owed to the Company. The loss of $15,000 was recorded in Other Expense. As a result, at March 31, 2024, the note receivable had a balance of $226,782 as compared to $341,782 at December 31, 2023. $33,000 was included in current assets at March 31, 2024 with $50,000 included in current assets at December 31, 2023.
The Company accounts for its 30% ownership interest in ANI by the equity method of accounting under which the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of ANI is recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations. Any dividends received from ANI as well as periodic losses for the Company’s 30% share will be treated as a reduction of the investment account. Periodic income will be treated as an increase in the investment account. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the non-marketable investment in subsidiary was $263,959 and $253,835, included in non-current assets. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company recorded income from the investment in subsidiary of $10,123 and $32,156, respectively.

On October 26, 2022, the Company sold to an investor a $25,000 convertible promissory note due October 31, 2023. Issued at face value, the note bears interest at 8% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash. The note is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.75 per share. On October 18, 2023, the Company and the holder extended the maturity date of the note to October 31, 2024.
On December 18, 2022, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $50,000 that is secured by certain payroll tax credits the Company is entitled to receive under the Employee Retention Tax Credit program. The note bears interest at 8% per annum, payable at maturity on June 18, 2024. The note can be converted to common stock at any time at the option of the holders at a conversion price of $1.75 per share at which point accrued interest will be paid in cash.
On June 14, 2023, the Company issued a convertible, secured note and warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $50,000 with the same terms as the one issued on December 18, 2022. The warrants were recorded as a debt discount on the date of issuance for a total value of $5,333. The balance at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of the debt discount was $2,506 and $3,390, respectively.
On July 24, 2023, the Company issued at face value a convertible note in the original principal amount of $50,000. The note is due on July 24, 2025, bears interest at 8% per annum and is convertible at $1.25 per share.
On November 2, 2023, the Company issued at face value a convertible note in the original principal amount of $50,000. The note is due on November 2, 2025, bears interest at 8% per annum and is convertible at $1.25 per share.
At March 31, 2024 and at December 31, 2023, we had outstanding convertible notes aggregating $525,000 in principal amount. The convertible promissory notes have not been included in diluted earnings per share as they would be anti-dilutive.
Finance Leases
In December 2020, the company entered into a finance lease for production equipment. We financed $85,000 over a period of 48 months with monthly payments of $2,135 during that time. As of December 31, 2023 the balance on the lease was $24,194, and as of March 31, 2024, the balance on the lease was $18,368, all of which was included in current liabilities.
NOTE 5 – OPERATING LEASE
Effective May 31, 2020, we entered into a lease with a related party for a 29,220 square foot building in Madison Heights, Michigan. The occupancy and rent commencement date was October 1, 2020. The lease has an initial term of seven years with a renewal option at the end of the initial term for an additional 3-year term, and a second renewal option thereafter for an additional 5-year term. The renewal term is not included in the calculation of the operating lease liability. As the sole tenant, we are responsible for all taxes, ordinary maintenance, snow removal and other ordinary operating expenses. Rent is $6.50 per square foot, increasing by $0.25 per year. During the first three years we had the right to buy up to a 49% interest in Magic Research LLC for a price equal to 49% of the contributions received from other members. This right has now expired as we did not exercise the option. See Note 7, Stockholders’ Equity, for a description of warrants issued to the owners of Magic Research LLC in connection with this lease. The fair value of these warrants totaling $311,718 were recorded as initial direct costs of obtaining the lease and are included in right-of-use assets on the accompanying balance sheet. See Note 6, Related Party Transactions, for information about roles in management and economic participation by our CEO and several other directors in the landlord.
In February 2023, we reached an agreement with the landlord of our Michigan facility to accept $66,000 worth of our common stock at a price of $1.25 per share as partial payment of rent for the six-month period from October 2022 through March 2023. During that period, we paid cash of $8,056 per month, effectively a cash rent reduction of $10,983 per month. In May 2023, we reached a further agreement with the landlord under which we pay cash each month to cover the cost of the mortgage and the lease for the lighting fixtures, but that will allow us to pay the balance of the rent by issuing shares of our stock valued at $0.75 per share. We have the option to continue to use stock to pay a portion of the rent through 2024.
For operating leases, we calculated ROU assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining lease payments as of the date of adoption using the IBR as of that date. The ROU Asset was $795,634 at March 31, 2024 and $845,563 at December 31, 2023. The operating lease liability was $683,623 at March 31, 2024 and $722,419 at December 31, 2023.

See Note 6, Stockholder’s Equity regarding the issuance of stock in partial satisfaction of unpaid rent. Rent in the amount of $52,791 and $30,141 was accrued and unpaid at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in related parties accounts payable on the balance sheet.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.
OVERVIEW
Nano Magic develops, commercializes and markets nanotechnology powered consumer and industrial cleaners and coatings to clean, protect, and enhance products for peak performance. Consumer products include lens and screen cleaners and coatings, anti-fog solutions, and household and automobile cleaners and protective coatings sold direct-to-consumer and in big box retail. Nano Magic also sells branded and private label cleaners and coatings into the optical, safety, and industrial channels. Our focus is to expand our direct-to-consumer sales through e-commerce and to grow sales to big box retailers. We continue to sell our consumer products directly to opticians and ophthalmologists and small optical retailers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following comparative analysis on results of operations was based primarily on the comparative financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. The results discussed below are for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
Revenues:
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, revenues from operations were $580,112 and $697,029, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, revenue decreased by $116,917 or 17% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease for the three-month period was due primarily to delays in programs and product roll-outs with customers.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales includes inventory costs, materials and supplies costs, internal labor and related benefits, subcontractor costs, depreciation, and overhead and shipping and handling costs incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, cost of sales was $511,369 and $622,279, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cost of sales decreased by $110,910 or 18% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease for the period was due primarily to lower sales volume.
Gross profit and gross margin
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, gross profit was $68,473 as compared to $74,750 for the prior year, a change of $6,007 or 8%. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, gross margin was 11.8% as compared to 10.7% in the prior year. The improvement in gross margin is largely due to changes in customer and product mix.
Operating expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating expenses increased by $51,104 or 7% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, operating expenses consisted of the following:
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Selling and marketing expenses | | $ | 82,726 | | | $ | 59,424 | |
Salaries, wages and related benefits | | | 202,549 | | | | 278,576 | |
Stock compensation expense | | | 8,500 | | | | 30,144 | |
Research and development | | | 20,295 | | | | 5,904 | |
Professional fees | | | 218,119 | | | | 189,459 | |
General and administrative expenses | | | 271,428 | | | | 189,006 | |
Total | | $ | 803,617 | | | $ | 752,513 | |
| ● | For the three months ended March 31, 2024, selling and marketing expenses increased by $23,302 or 39% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to additional trade show expenses in 2024. |
| | |
| ● | For the three months ended March 31, 2024, salaries, wages and related benefits decreased by $76,027 or 27%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. These decreases were due to a general reduction in workforce as part of the company’s continuing effort to manage costs and to reach profitability. |
| ● | For the three months ended March 31, 2024, stock compensation expense decreased by $21,644 or 72%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due, primarily, to vesting of certain outstanding options that was completed in 2023. |
| ● | For the three months ended March 31, 2024, research and development costs increased by $14,391 or 244%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due primarily to increased consultant expense. |
| | |
| ● | For the three months ended March 31, 2024, professional fees increased by $28,660 or 15%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This change reflects primarily consulting cost increases associated with outsourcing after workforce reductions. |
| | |
| ● | For the three months ended March 31, 2024, general and administrative expenses increased by $82,422 or 44% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Costs increases were primarily due to increases in bad debt reserve due to aging of accounts receivable, increased travel expense for conferences and increased software expense. |
Loss from operations
As a result of the factors described above, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, loss from operations amounted to $734,874 as compared to a loss of $677,763 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a change of $57,111 or 8%.
Income from investment in subsidiary
As a result of the sale of a 70% interest in ANI on May 31, 2022, we now report our 30% share of ANI’s income or loss as an investment in a subsidiary. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, that was income of $10,123 as compared to income of $32,156 in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Interest expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest expense was $12,437 as compared to $14,368 in the prior year. The decrease was due to maturing of financing leases in 2023.
Interest income
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest income was $5,981 as compared to $6,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due to a sale of a portion of the note from ANI.
Loss on sale of note receivable
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, a loss on the sale of the note receivable from ANI was $15,000.
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, we reported a net loss of $746,207 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 and a loss of $653,037 for the three-month period in the prior year, a change of $93,170 or 14%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had working capital of $(369,388) and $189,133 of unrestricted cash as of March 31, 2024 and working capital of $454,969, including $527,462 of cash as of December 31, 2023.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 | |
| | March 31, 2024 | | | December 31, 2023 | | | Change in Working Capital | | | Percentage Change | |
Working capital: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total current assets | | $ | 1,194,656 | | | $ | 1,699,821 | | | $ | (505,165 | ) | | | (29.72 | )% |
Total current liabilities | | | 1,564,044 | | | | 1,244,852 | | | | 319,192 | | | | 25.64 | % |
Working capital: | | $ | (369,388 | ) | | $ | 454,969 | | | $ | (824,357 | ) | | | (181.19 | )% |
The decrease in current assets is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash, as well as decreases in inventory, accounts receivable and a smaller current portion on the note receivable from ANI. Additionally, the increase in reserves for inventory and accounts receivable also contributed to the decrease in current assets.
Net cash used by operating activities was $(476,043) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of $(303,024) for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a net change of $(173,019) or 57%. Net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily resulted from net loss from operations of $(746,207) adjusted for add-backs of $132,163 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $138,001.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $87,656 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $17,171 for the same period in 2023, primarily due to proceeds from the note receivable in March of 2024.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $50,058 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflecting $55,000 in proceeds from sales of common stock, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $82,416 for the same period in 2023, reflecting $95,000 in proceeds from sales of common stock and warrants.
Future Liquidity and Capital Needs.
The factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited financial statements are issued. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations, become cash flow positive or raise additional capital. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and/or classification of the recorded asset amounts and/or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our principal future uses of cash are for working capital requirements, including working capital to pay down accounts payable, and support increased product sales, and sales and marketing expenses. Application of funds among these uses will depend on numerous factors including our sales and other revenues and our ability to control costs.
Equipment Financing and Loans
See note 4 to our unaudited financial statements regarding our equipment loan and financing leases.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our unaudited financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures about market risk
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that we do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function to have segregation of duties so that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions are performed by separate individuals. However, to the extent possible, these tasks are performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control
There were no changes identified in connection with our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
