2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the
Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations,
although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial
position for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation
S-X. The results of operations for the interim period presented is not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year.
These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Form 10-K which includes the audited consolidated or combined financial
statements for the three years ended December 31, 2012.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Amincor,
Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"). All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the
valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, the useful lives of tangible and
intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and
equipment, allowances for doubtful accounts and inventory obsolescence,
estimates related to completion of contracts and loss contingencies on
particular uncompleted contracts and the valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
12
REVENUE RECOGNITION
BPI
Revenue is recognized from product sales when goods are delivered to the BPI's
shipping dock, and are made available for pick-up by the customer, at which
point title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Customer sales discounts are
accounted for as reductions in revenues in the same period the related sales are
recorded.
TYREE
Maintenance and repair services for several retail petroleum customers are
performed under multi-year, unit price contracts ("Tyree Contracts"). Under
these agreements, the customer pays a set price per contracted retail location
per month and Tyree provides a defined scope of maintenance and repair services
at these locations on an on-call or as scheduled basis. Revenue earned under
Tyree Contracts is recognized each month at the prevailing per location unit
price. Revenue from other maintenance and repair services is recognized as these
services are rendered.
Tyree uses the percentage-of-completion method on construction services,
measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to estimated total
costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers costs
to date to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period
in which overall contract losses become probable. Changes in job performance,
job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from final
contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. These
revisions are recognized in the period in which it is probable that the customer
will approve the variation and the amount of revenue arising from the revision
can be reliably measured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to
claims is included in revenues when negotiations have reached an advance stage
such that it is probable that the customer will accept the claim and the amount
can be measured reliably.
The asset account "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts
billed.
The liability account, "Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
EQS
EQS provides environmental testing for its clients that range from smaller
engineering firms and contractors to well-known petroleum companies. EQS submits
an invoice with each report it distributes to its clients. Revenue is recognized
as testing services are performed.
13
AWWT
AWWT provides water remediation and logistics services for its clients which
include any business that produces waste water. AWWT invoices clients based on
bills of lading which specify the quantity and type of water treated. Revenue is
recognized as water remediation services are performed.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The
credit worthiness of customers is analyzed based on historical experience, as
well as the prevailing business and economic environment. An allowance for
doubtful accounts is established and determined based on management's
assessments of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the
customer's current credit worthiness and the economic environment. Accounts are
written off when significantly past due and after exhaustive efforts at
collection. Recoveries of accounts receivables previously written off are
recorded as income when subsequently collected.
Tyree's accounts receivable for maintenance and repair services and construction
contracts are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Tyree,
BPI, EQS, and AWWT extend unsecured credit to customers in the ordinary course
of business but mitigate the associated risks by performing credit checks and
actively pursuing past due accounts. Tyree follows the practice of filing
statutory "mechanics" liens on construction projects where collection problems
are anticipated.
MORTGAGES RECEIVABLE
The mortgages receivable consist of commercial loans collateralized by property
in Pelham Manor, New York. The loans were non-performing and property was in
foreclosure as of March 31, 2013. The value of the mortgages is based on the
fair value of the collateral.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
An allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. A loan is
determined to be non-accrual when it is probable that scheduled payments of
principal and interest will not be received when due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is placed on non-accrual
status, all accrued yet uncollected interest is reversed from income. Payments
received on non-accrual loans are generally applied to the outstanding principal
balance. Loans are removed from non-accrual status when management believes that
the borrower will resume making the payments required by the loan agreement.
14
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out method. Market is determined based on the net realizable value with
appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels and other
market factors. An inventory reserve is recorded if the carrying amount of the
inventory exceeds its estimated market value.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to
operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale
or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of
operations.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of
the asset or the lease term.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the cost of acquiring a business that exceeds the net fair
value ascribed to its identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangibles are not subject to amortization but are tested for
impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances change, such as a
significant adverse change in the economic climate that would make it more
likely than not that impairment may have occurred. If the carrying value of
goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an
impairment loss is recognized.
Intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at cost less accumulated
amortization. Finite-lived tangible assets are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the expected useful lives of the respective assets.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company evaluates the fair value of long-lived assets on an annual basis or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts
may not be recoverable. Accordingly, any impairment of value is recognized when
the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share considers the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or could otherwise cause the issuance of common
15
stock. Such contracts include stock options and convertible preferred stock,
which when exercised or converted into common stock would cause the issuance of
common stock that then would share in earnings (loss). Such potential additional
common shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Diluted loss per share is not computed because any potential additional common
shares would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an
antidilutive effect.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
All share-based awards are measured based on their grant date fair values and
are charged to expenses over the period during which the required services are
provided in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Share-based awards are
subject to specific vesting conditions. Compensation cost is recognized over the
vesting period based on the grant date fair value of the awards and the portion
of the award that is ultimately expected to vest.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated
condensed financial statements to conform to the current year's presentation.
3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern that contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business. The Company has suffered recurring net losses from operations and
had a working capital deficit of $23,249,795 as of March 31, 2013, which raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
capability to raise additional funds through debt and equity financing, and to
achieve profitable operations. Management's plans to continue as a going concern
and to achieve a profitable level of operations are as follows:
* Baker's Pride, Inc.
* Secure additional donut and bread customers to increase the
utilization of existing plant assets and place significant and
competitive bids to strategic players within the fresh bread
manufacturing industry, as well as increase revenues from its existing
customers,
* Increase co-pack donut, bread and bun business once the existing plant
assets are operating at maximum capacity,
* Negotiate to extend BPI's commercial bank bridge loan which matures on
May 31, 2013. An extension will allow continued interest only
financing on BPI's new donut equipment until operating cash flow is
sufficient to make principal payments.
16
* Environmental Holdings Corp.
* Complete the sale of EQS - see Note 13 - Subsequent Events,
* Successfully sell large-scale waste water treatment equipment through
AWWT's established licensing agreement.
* Tyree Holdings Corp.
* Increase sales of the environmental business unit to existing
customers and bid on additional jobs outside of Tyree's current
customer base. The success of one of Tyree's primary customers in
securing additional environmental remediation work should result in
referrals to Tyree,
* Evaluate Tyree's construction and maintenance business units with
respect to their ability to increase margins and operate profitably
independent of each other,
* Liquidate excess inventory to generate additional working capital.
* Amincor Other Assets, Inc.
* Rent assets held for sale to offset the costs of ownership until the
assets are liquidated,
* Liquidate assets held for sale to provide working capital to the
Company's subsidiaries.
* Amincor, Inc.
* Secure new financing from a financial institution to provide needed
working capital to the subsidiary companies.
While management believes that it will be able to continue to raise capital from
various funding sources in such amounts sufficient to sustain operations at the
Company's current levels through at least March 31, 2014, if the Company is not
able to do so and if the Company is unable to become profitable in 2013 and the
first quarter of 2014, the Company would likely need to modify its plans and/or
cut back on its operations. If the Company is able to raise additional funds
through the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to existing
shareholders may result. However, if management's plans are not achieved, if
significant unanticipated events occur, or if the Company is unable to obtain
the necessary additional funding on favorable terms or at all, management would
likely have to modify its business plans to continue as a going concern. The
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective June 30, 2011, the Company discontinued the operations of Masonry and
Tulare Holdings, Inc., and effective September 30, 2011 the Company discontinued
the operations of Epic Sports International, Inc. As a result, losses from
Masonry, Tulare and ESI are included in the loss from discontinued operations in
the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements for the three
17
months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Assets and liabilities

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related parties are natural persons or other entities that have the ability,
directly or indirectly, to control another party or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.
Related parties include other parties that are subject to common control or that
are subject to common significant influences.
DUE FROM FACTOR
In 2013, BPI, Tyree and EHC entered into spot factoring agreements with a
related party ("Factor"), which shares common ownership and management with the
Company, under which certain eligible accounts receivable are factored. The
Factor assumes credit risk for all credit-approved accounts. The Company
initially receives an advance of 70% of the eligible receivable. The Factor
provides rebates from 1% to 27% of the purchased invoice based on the repayment
date on a sliding scale of collection dates from 30 to 180 days. In 2012, BPI
had a discount factoring agreement with the Factor and received advances of 70%.
The Company paid the Factor a commission on each accounts receivable purchased
equal to (a) 3% for each 30 days that such accounts receivable is outstanding,
(b) after the initial 30 day period, an additional 1% for the next 10 day period
or part thereof that such accounts receivable is outstanding and (c) after the
20
initial 60 day period, an additional 2% for the next 10 day period or part
thereof that such accounts receivable is outstanding. The factor agreements are
secured by accounts receivable purchased by the Factor. Factor fees amounted to
$131,876 and $24,632 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012,
respectively.

10. CORRECTION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUED
On June 27, 2012, the Company issued 68,928 shares of Class B common shares as a
correction of the amount of shares issued on the Company's Payment in Kind date.
As a result, the amount of Class B shares outstanding and the weighted average
shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 have been restated.
This correction is de minimus and had no discernable effect on previously
reported loss per share.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
CONTINGENCIES:
BPI
In connection with Baker's Pride's USDA loan application, BPI had Environmental
Site Assessments done on the property where one of its bakeries is located as
required by the prospective lender. A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was
completed on October 31, 2011 and was submitted to the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources ("IDNR") for their review. IDNR requested that a Tier Two Site
Cleanup Report ("Tier Two") be issued and completed in order to better
understand what environmental hazards exist on the property. The Tier Two was
completed on February 3, 2012 and was submitted to IDNR for further review.
Management's latest correspondence with IDNR, dated March 21, 2012, required
additional environmental remediation to be in compliance with IDNR's
regulations. Management has retained the necessary environmental consultants to
become compliant with IDNR's request. Due to the nature of the liability, the
remediation work is 100% eligible for refund from INDR's Innocent Landowner
Fund. As such there is no direct liability related to the clean up of the
hazard.
TYREE
One of Tyree's largest customers, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. ("GPMI") filed
for bankruptcy protection on December 5, 2011. As of that date, Tyree had a
pre-petition receivable of $1,515,401. Additionally, Tyree has a post-petition
administrative claim for $593,709. A Proof of Claim was filed with the
Bankruptcy court on Tuesday, April 10, 2012. On August 27, 2012, the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed GPMI's
Chapter 11 plan of liquidation offered by its unsecured creditors committee,
overruling the remaining objections. The plan provides for all of the debtors'
property to be liquidated over time and for the proceeds to be allocated to
creditors. Any assets not distributed by the effective date will be held by a
liquidating trust and administered by a liquidation trustee, who will be
responsible for liquidating assets, resolving disputed claims, making
distributions, pursuing reserved causes of action and winding up GPMI's affairs.
As an unsecured creditor, Tyree may never collect or may only collect a small
percentage of the pre and post petition amounts owed. To date, Tyree has not
been notified of any intent by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to claw back any amounts paid to Tyree
pre-petition.
Tyree management continues to negotiate with Local Union 1, Local Union 25,
Local Union 99, Local Union 138, Local Union 200 and Local Union 355 over unpaid
benefits that are due to each of the respective unions. Tyree's records indicate
approximately $1 million of unpaid benefits due as of December 31, 2012. Tyree
management does not dispute that benefits are due to the respective unions,
however, settlement and payment plan discussions are ongoing. The Local Unions
have filed suit to enforce their rights as to the unpaid benefits as of March
2013.
24
A variety of unsecured vendors have filed suit for non-payment of outstanding
invoices. Each of these actions is handled on a case by case basis, to determine
the settlement and payment plan.
ESI (A DISCONTINUED OPERATION)
The Volkl license agreement was terminated in September 2011 and concurrently
the Strategic Alliance Agreement with Samsung America CT, Inc. ("Samsung") was
also terminated. Volkl is seeking a $400,000 royalty payment. ESI has initiated
counterclaims against the various parties, including but not limited to Samsung,
seeking damages for, including but not limited to infringement, improper use of
company assets and breach of fiduciary duty. Volkl was successful in obtaining a
judgment against ESI and a confirmation of the Arbitration is presently pending
in Federal Court. Management believes that this matter and the Frost matter
below will eventually be settled out of court for less than the royalty and
damages amounts sought.
On September 28, 2012, Sean Frost ("Frost"), the former President of Epic Sports
International, Inc., filed a complaint against Epic Sports International Inc.,
Amincor, Inc. and Joseph Ingrassia (collectively, the "Defendants"). The first
cause of action of the complaint is a petition to compel arbitration for unpaid
compensation and benefits pursuant to Frost's employment agreement. The second
cause of action of the complaint is for breach of contract for alleged
non-payment of expenses, vacation days and assumption of certain debts. The
third cause of action of the complaint is for violation of the California Labor
Code for failure to pay wages. In addition, Frost is seeking among other things,
damages, attorneys' fees and costs and expenses.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
AMINCOR
On July 6, 2012, SFR Holdings, Ltd., Eden Rock Finance Master Limited, Eden Rock
Asset Based Lending Master Ltd., Eden Rock Unleveraged Finance Master Limited,
SHK Asset Backed Finance Limited, Cannonball Plus Fund Limited and Cannonball
Stability Fund, LP (collectively, the "Plaintiffs") commenced an action in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York against Amincor, Inc.,
Amincor Other Assets, Inc., their officers and directors, John R. Rice III,
Joseph F. Ingrassia and Robert L. Olson and various other entities affiliated
with or controlled directly or indirectly by John R. Rice III and Joseph F.
Ingrassia (collectively the "Defendants"). Plaintiffs allege that Defendants
engaged in wrongful acts, including fraudulent inducement, fraud, breach of
fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, fraudulent conveyance and breach of contract.
Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages in an amount in excess of $150,000
to be determined at trial. Litigation is pending. Management believes that this
lawsuit has no merit or basis and intends to vigorously defend it.
25
TYREE
Tyree's services are regulated by federal, state and local laws enacted to
regulate discharge of materials into the environment, remediation of
contaminated soil and groundwater or otherwise protect the environment. The
regulations put Tyree or Tyree's predecessor companies at risk for becoming a
party to legal proceedings involving customers or other interested parties. The
issues involved in such proceedings generally relate to alleged responsibility
arising under federal or state laws to remediate contamination at properties
owned or operated either by current or former customers or by other parties who
allege damages. To limit its exposure to such proceedings, Tyree purchases, for
itself and Tyree's predecessor companies, site pollution, pollution and
professional liability insurance. Aggregate limits, per occurrence limits and
deductibles for this policy are $10,000,000, $5,000,000 and $50,000,
respectively.
Tyree and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, involved in ordinary and
routine litigation. Management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of
these proceedings individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows. Nevertheless, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and
unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary
damages and, in such event, could result in a material adverse impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period
in which the ruling occurs.
IMSC/OTHER ASSETS
Capstone Business Credit, LLC ("CBC"), a related party, is the plaintiff in a
foreclosure action against Imperia Family Realty, LLC ("IFR"). IFR is related to
the former owners of Masonry's business. In November 2011 a Judgment of
Foreclosure was granted by the court ordering that the IMSC property in Pelham
Manor, New York (the "Property") be sold at public auction.
A former principal of Imperia Bros., Inc. (a predecessor company of Masonry)
filed a notice of appeal dated November 14, 2011 with the court contesting the
Judgment of Foreclosure. The Company believes that the appeal will not be upheld
by the court since the same appellate court, on February 16, 2010, issued an
order that granted CBC a motion of summary judgment and dismissed all of the
former principal's affirmative defenses.
In accordance with the Judgment of Foreclosure a public auction sale of the
Property was held on January 10, 2012. CBC, on behalf of Amincor, bid the amount
of their lien and was the successful bidder. CBC then assigned its bid to
Amincor.
As of the filing date, title to the Property has not been transferred due to a
title issue involving the notice of pendency ("Notice") that expired and was not
renewed at least 20 days prior to the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale being
filed and entered. Since no title transfers or judgment/liens were filed against
the Property after the expiration of the Notice, the Company believes it is
likely a conditional title will be issued and after recording the deed, IFR will
no longer have any ownership interest in the property.
26
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 26, 2013, effective April 1, 2013, EHC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company sold all of its EQS's common stock for $500,000, which included the
sale and transfer of certain EQS assets and assuming certain of its liabilities.
A seller's note of $500,000 was agreed upon with an annual interest rate of 8%.
The note will be interest only for its first two years, and thereafter be
amortized over a five-year period. The note will be secured by the assets of the
acquiring company.
On April 30, 2013 the sale of the property in Allentown, PA was completed with
the Allenton Economic Development Corporation. The Company netted approximately
$232,000 from the sale.
The Company had no additional significant subsequent events requiring
disclosure.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS ("MD&A")
AMINCOR (CONSOLIDATED BASIS)
GOING CONCERN/LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash flows used in continuing
operations was $869,346. This was principally due to a net loss from continuing
operations of $2,478,826 which was partially offset by a reduction in accounts
receivable of approximately $414,000, increase in accounts payable of
approximately $431,000, depreciation expense of approximately $477,000, an
increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of approximately
$369,000 and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of
approximately $350,000. The net loss from continuing operations is discussed in
greater detail in the results from operations for the three months ended March
31, 2013 and 2012 section of this MD&A.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash flows used in investing
activities from continuing operations of $20,604 were primarily due to
immaterial purchases of additional equipment at Baker's Pride, Inc.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash flows provided by financing
activities from continuing operations of $674,274 was primarily due to proceeds
received on loans from related parties.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, total cash flows used in discontinued
operations was $8,195. Cash used in discontinued operations was primarily
related to the winding down of entities classified as discontinued operations.
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
However, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial
statements, we recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $2,478,826 and
$2,548,732 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We
had a working capital deficit of $23,249,795 and an accumulated deficit of
$86,821,262 as of March 31, 2013. The results of the Company's cash flows from
continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 have been
adversely impacted by the loss of Baker's Pride's most significant customer
Aldi, Inc. The Company's primary focus is to achieve profitable operations and
positive cash flow of its operations of its long established niche businesses -
Tyree and Baker's Pride.
Our auditors, Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company LLP, have stated in their
audit report dated December 31, 2012 that there is substantial doubt on the
Company's ability to continue operations as a going concern due to our recurring
net losses from operations, and the Company has a significant working capital
deficit. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our
28
capability to raise additional funds through debt and equity financing, and to
achieve profitable operations. Our plans to continue as a going concern and to
achieve a profitable level of operations are as follows:
With respect to BPI, management has successfully negotiated a contract for
co-packing frozen donut products to one of the world's largest family owned food
companies which is a global supplier to the food service and in store bakery
retail industries. Management believes that this contract will pave the way for
additional contracts from other significant food companies in addition to
increased business from the newly acquired customer. BPI has entered the frozen
segment and is also positioning itself to enter back into the fresh bread
manufacturing industry by placing significant and competitive bids to strategic
players within the fresh bread markets. Management believes that by September
2013, its facilities will be operationally capable of supporting themselves on
internally generated cash flows. Management has had verbal conversations with
its lender, Central State Bank, regarding the bridge loan financing which will
allow for BPI to extend its interest only financing on the new donut equipment
until such time that BPI is able through its cash flow to make principal
payments.
With respect to Tyree, management is projecting an increase in its environmental
business through the end of 2013 and 2014. Tyree's ability to succeed in
securing additional environmental business depends on the ability of one of
Tyree's primary customers to secure remediation work by bidding environmental
liabilities currently present on gasoline stations and referring this work to
Tyree. Management is in the process of evaluating the profitability of Tyree's
other divisions and intends to continue these operations provided that they
continue to be profitable. In addition, Tyree's management believes that Tyree
is currently holding greater level of inventory than is necessary for operations
and will seek to liquidate or cease additional purchases of similar inventory on
a going forward basis. Management intends to utilize cash flows generated from
this decrease in inventory as additional working capital.
Tyree's management is working to secure additional available capital resources
and turnaround Tyree's operations to generate operating income. As of March 31,
2013, Tyree has a working capital deficit of approximately $10.5 million
exclusive of amounts owed to Amincor and recorded a net loss of approximately
$660,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Tyree has entered into
settlement agreements and continues to negotiate with creditors to pay off its
outstanding debt obligations. However, without additional capital resources,
Tyree may not be able to continue to operate and may be forced to curtail its
business, liquidate assets and/file for bankruptcy protection. In any such case,
its business, operating results or financial condition would be materially
adversely affected.
With respect to EHC, one of EQS' managers has signed a letter of intent to
purchase EQS in exchange for the assumption of the accounts payable and a
$500,000 note to Amincor Other Assets, Inc. which is collateralized with a
secured lien on all of the lab equipment of EQS. Management believes that this
will increase the cash flows of EHC as EQS had historically received cash to
cover expenses for operations from its sister company, AWWT. AWWT has recently
29
signed a licensing agreement with a Denver based water technology company which
will allow AWWT to sell waste water treatment equipment to large municipal,
industrial, agricultural and commercial generators of waste water. Management is
currently in discussion with multiple customers in this market and believes that
there is a significant opportunity for consistent and reliable cash flows from
placing systems in use with these customers.
With respect to Amincor Other Assets, there are significant assets currently
residing on Amincor Other Asset's balance sheet related to the discontinued
operations of Imperia and Tulare are included in assets held for sale.
Management intends to liquidate these assets as soon as they are able to do so
profitably. Management believes there is more value in these assets than is
currently shown on our balance sheet and an attempt to liquidate these assets
quickly will decrease their value to, or below, what is currently showing on our
balance sheet. In the meantime, management is utilizing these assets to the best
of their ability by offsetting the costs associated with owning those assets by
generating income from renting these properties out when possible.
With respect to Amincor, Inc.'s corporate offices, Management continues to seek
new financing from a financial institution in order to provide more working
capital to its subsidiary companies. Management has had discussions with many
financial institutions of different types and has narrowed down eligible
candidates to only a few. Management expects that by executing on the above
plans for the subsidiary companies and by acquiring new financing for working
capital for its subsidiary companies, Baker's Pride, Tyree and AWWT will become
profitable and be able to generate enough internal cash flow to operate
independently of one another.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
ESI
The Volkl license agreement was terminated in September 2011 and concurrently
the Strategic Alliance Agreement with Samsung America CT, Inc. ("Samsung") was
also terminated. Volkl is seeking a $400,000 royalty payment. ESI has initiated
counterclaims against the various parties, including but not limited to Samsung,
seeking damages for, including but not limited to infringement, improper use of
company assets and breach of fiduciary duty. The counterclaim against Samsung
has been settled and ESI has moved to have Samsung dismissed Samsung from any
further claims.
Volkl was successful in obtaining a judgment against ESI and a confirmation of
the Arbitration is presently pending in Federal Court. Management believes that
this matter and the Frost matter below will eventually be settled out of court
for less than the royalty and damages amounts sought.
On September 28, 2012, Sean Frost ("Frost"), the former President of ESI, filed
a Complaint to Compel Arbitration Regarding Breach of Employment Contract and
Related Breach of Labor Code Claims and For an Award of Compensatory Damages in
30
the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego against Epic
Sports International Inc., Amincor, Inc. and Joseph Ingrassia (collectively, the
"Defendants"). The first cause of action is a petition to compel arbitration for
unpaid compensation and benefits pursuant to Frost's employment agreement. The
second cause of action is for breach of contract for alleged non-payment of
expenses, vacation days and assumption of certain debts. The third cause of
action is for violation of the California Labor Code for failure to pay wages
due and owing. Frost is seeking among other things, damages, attorneys' fees and
costs and expenses.
As of the date this filing, the case continues to be litigated and Management
will update accordingly.
TYREE
One of Tyree's largest customers, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. ("GPMI") filed
for bankruptcy protection on December 5, 2011. As of that date, Tyree had a
pre-petition receivable of $1,515,401.27. Additionally, Tyree has a
post-petition administrative claim for $593,709.20. A Proof of Claim was filed
with the Bankruptcy court on Tuesday, April 10, 2012. On August 27, 2012, the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed
GPMI's Chapter 11 plan of liquidation offered by its unsecured creditors
committee, overruling the remaining objections. The plan provides for all of the
debtors' property to be liquidated over time and for the proceeds to be
allocated to creditors. Any assets not distributed by the effective date will be
held by a liquidating trust and administered by a liquidation trustee, who will
be responsible for liquidating assets, resolving disputed claims, making
distributions, pursuing reserved causes of action and winding up GPMI's affairs.
As an unsecured creditor, Tyree may never collect or may only collect a small
percentage of the pre and post petition amounts owed. To date, Tyree has not be
notified of any intent by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to claw back any amounts paid to Tyree pre-petition.
Tyree management has negotiated settlements with Local Union 99, Local Union 138
and Local Union 355. Tyree management continues to negotiate with Local Union 1,
Local Union 25, and Local Union 200 over unpaid benefits that are due and owing
to each of the respective unions. Tyree records indicate approximately
$1,100,000 of unpaid benefits due. Tyree management does not dispute that
benefits are due and owing to the respective unions, however, settlement and
payment plan discussions are ongoing. The Local Union 1 and Local Union 200 have
each filed suit in the United States District Court Eastern District of New York
to enforce their rights as to the unpaid benefits due and owing from Tyree, and
as guarantor of certain amounts due and owing, Amincor, Inc. is also a named
party in these lawsuits. Local Union 200 has also filed a claim with the
National Labor Relations Board.
A variety of unsecured vendors have filed suit for non-payment of outstanding
invoices, as noted in Tyree's financial statements under accounts payable and
notes payable. Each of these actions is handled on a case by case basis, with
settlement and payment plan.
31
BPI
In connection with Baker's Pride's USDA loan application, BPI had Environmental
Site Assessments done on the property where one of its bakeries is located as
required by BPI's prospective lender. A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
was completed on October 31, 2011 and was submitted to the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources ("IDNR") for their review. IDNR requested that a Tier Two Site
Cleanup Report ("Tier Two") be issued and completed in order to better
understand what environmental hazards exist on the property. The Tier Two was
completed on February 3, 2012 and was submitted to IDNR for further review.
Management's latest correspondence with IDNR, dated March 21, 2012, required
revisions to the Tier Two to be in compliance with IDNR's regulations.
Management has retained the necessary environmental consultants to become
compliant with IDNR's request. Due to the nature of the liability, the
remediation work is 100% eligible for refund from INDR's Innocent Landowner
Fund. As such there is no direct liability related to the clean up of the
hazard.
TULARE
The City of Lindsay, California has invoiced Tulare Frozen Foods, LCC ("TFF")
$533,571 for outstanding delinquent amounts. A significant portion of the
outstanding delinquent amounts are penalties, interest and fees that have
accrued. A settlement proposal, whereby the City of Lindsay would retain TFF's
$206,666 deposit as settlement and release in full of all outstanding
obligations was sent to the City of Lindsay for review on March 29, 2012. As of
the date of this filing, no settlement has been reached.

BAKER'S PRIDE, INC.
SEASONALITY
Seasonality influenced the operations of the South Street Bakery facility as
cookie sales are typically higher during the winter holiday season when compared
to the summer season. Operations at the Jefferson Street facility are not
influenced by seasonality. However, when donut production commences at the Mt.
Pleasant Street facility, it will greatly be affected by seasonality. For the
three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, none of the operations of Baker's
Pride were influenced by seasonality.
LOSS OF MATERIAL CUSTOMER
On July 16, 2012, BPI was notified that Aldi, BPI's primary customer would be
terminating its contract with the Company as of the end of October 2012 due to
BPI's inability to meet certain pricing, cost and product offering needs. As
such, BPI performed an impairment study and concluded that BPI's goodwill and
intangible assets were fully impaired as of September 30, 2012.
Net revenues generated from Aldi comprised 0.0% and 92.2% of net revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All Aldi revenues
generated in the first three months of 2012 were from BPI's Jefferson Street
facility. The balance of net revenues generated in the first three months of
2012 were in BPI's South Street facility. On November 30, 2012, BPI terminated
the equipment and facility lease which allowed for production at the South
Street facility. It is management's intention to enter into a co-packing
agreement for all of the products formerly produced internally with other
34
bakeries in order to continue to provide the same product offerings without
operating the facility. Management has moved all equipment owned but formerly
residing at the South Street facility to the Mt. Pleasant Street facility.
Management intends to return to its business plan of operating the Mt. Pleasant
Street facility thereby reducing fixed overhead and variable costs by using
cross trained personnel and providing its customer base the opportunity to
purchase one, two or all three of its product types in less than trailer load
quantities but obtain cost effective logistics through a combined load of all
products offered by BPI.
Effective November 2, 2012, BPI has stopped production at the Jefferson Street
facility. As such, there were layoffs of production personnel and wage
reductions of remaining personnel in order to minimize losses until production
resumes at the Jefferson Street facility. Production is currently underway with
low volume regional companies with plans to increase product offerings and grow
the business. Discussions are active for co-packing arrangements to enable BPI
to broaden its offerings for new business opportunities. Discussions continue
with major branded food products companies with BPI operating as the producer;
however, as of the time of filing BPI has not yet secured a significant contract
with a new bread customer but has secured a significant contract with a donut
customer.

compared to $4,144,288 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of
$4,089,480 or approximately 98.7%. The primary reason for the decrease in net
revenues is related to the loss of BPI's customer Aldi on November 2, 2012. Of
the approximate $4.1 million decrease in net revenues, Aldi's business was
responsible for $3.8 million of this decrease. The remaining decrease in net
revenues is related to the termination of the equipment and facility lease that
allowed for production at the South Street facility.
COST OF REVENUES

revenues against an 82.0% decrease in cost of revenues in 2013 as compared to
2012. The primary reason for the decrease in cost of revenues is related to the
Jefferson Street facility not operating at 100% capacity during the three months
ended March 31, 2013 due to the loss of Aldi as compared to operating at 100%
capacity during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Certain fixed costs are
incurred by BPI regardless of the production levels at BPI's facilities which
were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 but were not offset
by sales as they were during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

related to the termination of the equipment and facility lease that allowed for
production at the South Street facility (savings of approximately $405,000), the
absence of non-cash intangible amortization expense due to the impairment of
intangible assets as of September 30, 2012 (savings of approximately $191,000)

ENVIRONMENTAL HOLDING CORP.
SEASONALITY
EQS's sales are typically higher during the second and third quarters of its
fiscal year. The fourth quarter of the year is usually affected by a slow down
at the holiday season and year end. In addition, frigid temperatures combined
with the possibility of extreme weather tend to discourage projects from being
scheduled during the winter months.
AWWT's sales are typically higher during the second and third quarters of its
fiscal year. The fourth and first quarters of the year are usually affected by
inclement weather which makes it difficult to process liquid streams due to
freezing.

revenues of 13.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The primary reason
for the increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues is related
to fixed costs that are incurred from running EQS's lab regardless of the sales
volume. EQS was better able to offset these fixed costs during the three months
ended March 31, 2012 with higher net revenues than it was during the three
months ended March 31, 2013.
AWWT's cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $77,513 or

TYREE HOLDINGS, INC.
SEASONALITY AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Historically, Tyree's revenues are lower during the first quarter of the year as
Tyree's customers complete their planning for the remainder of the year.
Approximately 26% of Tyree's revenues are earned from customer capital
expenditures. Customers' capital expenditures are cyclical and tend to mirror
the condition of the economy and the weather patterns.. During normal
conditions, Tyree will need to draw from its borrowing base early in the year
and then pay down the borrowing base as the year progresses when it generates
positive cash flows. The highest revenue generation occurs from late in the
second quarter through the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year.
On December 5, 2011 Tyree's largest customer, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc.
("GPMI") filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States
Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. This bankruptcy filing
had a significant and lasting impact on Tyree's operations and financial
activities. Immediately following the bankruptcy filing of GPMI, all ongoing
work with GPMI was significantly reduced and plans for Tyree's restructuring
began which included a reduction of approximately 15% in workforce during the
first quarter of 2012. In June 2012 Green Valley Oil, LLC ("GVO") a subtenant of
GPMI and customer of Tyree went out of business. Tyree made additional expense
reductions and reduced its workforce by approximately 35.0% by the end of 2012
39
Tyree maintains a $15,000,000 revolving credit agreement with its Parent
(Amincor) which expires on January 1, 2016. Borrowings under this agreement are
limited to 70% of eligible accounts receivable and the lesser of 50% of eligible
inventory or $4,000,000. The balances outstanding under this agreement were
$4,752,171 and $4,819,829 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012,
respectively. Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by a first lien
security interest in all tangible and intangible assets owned by Tyree.
Availability of funding from Amincor is dependent on Amincor's liquidity. The
annual interest rate charged on this loan was approximately 5% for the three
months ending March 31, 2013 and 2012. Starting in January 2013, Tyree began
factoring certain accounts receivables with a related party.
Going forward, Tyree's growth will be difficult to attain until either (i) new
working capital is available through profitable operations or (ii) new equity
invested into Tyree to facilitate organic and acquisition based growth.
LIQUIDITY
Tyree incurred net losses of $665,233 and $1,345,774 for the three months ended
March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Tyree's largest customer filing for
bankruptcy in December 2011 produced large write-offs of receivables and
reductions in revenues which resulted in corporate cash demands well in excess
of receipts from revenues, thus stressing the available funding on the existing
credit facility. In the fourth quarter of 2011, management responded with a plan
to term out all current vendors. Much was accomplished during 2011 with $1.9
million of accounts payable converted to long and short term debt, at March 31,
2013 this amounted to $2,662,000. Most of the remaining vendors have agreed to
term notes early in 2012, thus addressing the cash shortfall produced in 2011,
while leaving some availability on Tyree's revolving credit line. In reaction to
the GPMI Bankruptcy filing, management reduced employee headcount by an
additional 72 full time employees, rescheduled accounts payable, reduced
management's salaries and reduced its rent commitments. Tyree has been
successful in securing several new customers but has not yet been able to
replace all of the lost business from GPMI and GVO. Management continues to
analyze Tyree's overhead expenses and will continue to reduce its work force as
necessary until it is able to replace the business lost as a result of the GPMI
bankruptcy filing and the Green Valley business cessation.
NET REVENUES
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $6,860,022 as
compared to $9,519,309 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of
$2,659,287 or approximately 27.9%. The decrease in revenues in 2013 can
primarily be attributable to service revenues lost when GPMI and GVO went out of
business have never been completely replaced. In addition, in November 2012,
Tyree did not renew its fixed-fee maintenance contract with Cumberland Farms as
it yielded a negative gross profit in 2012. The Service operating division
billed approximately $2,250,000 less during the three months ended March 31,
2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. Additional decreases
40
in revenue are attributable to Tyree's Construction division. Tyree's
Construction business unit completed two very large jobs in 2012 which were not
replaced with jobs of equal size in 2013. The Construction business unit billed
approximately $570,000 less during the three months ended March 31, 2013 than it
did during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Revenues by operating
divisions for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 were as
follows:
Revenues 2013 2012
---------- ----------
Service and Construction $3,288,315 $6,395,568
Environmental, Compliance and Engineering 3,571,707 2,925,202
Manufacturing / International -- 198,539
---------- ----------
TOTAL $6,860,022 $9,519,309

COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $5,447,589 or
approximately 79.4% of net revenues as compared to $7,401,217, or 77.7% for the
three months ended March 31, 2012. The gross profit percentage decreased by 1.7%
period to period due to under estimating the cost of several construction jobs
in New Jersey. The effect of this under estimation resulted in a drop of
approximately 7.0% or $105,000 in the Construction business unit's gross profit.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $1,863,281,
or approximately 27.2% of net revenues compared to $3,351,628, or approximately
35.2% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease in
operating expenses of $1,488,347 or approximately 44.4%. The decrease in
operating expenses in 2013 was primarily attributed to the reduction in Tyree's
work force over the course of 2012 (a reduction of approximately $667,000) and
the absence of intangible amortization due to the impairment of intangible
assets in 2012 (a reduction of approximately $277,000) alongside other smaller
expense reductions across all of Tyree's expense categories.
LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $450,849,
or approximately 6.5% of net revenues as compared to $1,233,537, or
approximately 13.0% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a
decrease in loss from operations of $782,688 or approximately 63.4%. The
decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to the decrease in operating
expenses as noted above.
41
OTHER EXPENSES
Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $214,384, or
approximately 3.1% of net revenues as compared to other expenses of $112,238, or
approximately 1.2% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an
increase in other expenses of $102,146 or approximately 91.0%. The increase in
other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to
an increase in interest expense due to a Tyree factoring certain accounts
receivables to improve cash flow.
NET LOSS
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $665,233 as compared
to $1,345,774 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $680,541
or approximately 50.6%. The decrease in net loss is primarily related to the
decrease in operating expenses as noted above.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations is based upon our consolidated condensed financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of our consolidated
condensed financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make
certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported
amounts and classification of revenues and expense during the periods presented,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our
estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and material changes in these
estimates or assumptions could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are
recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on
historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances and at that time, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ materially from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions
do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
Please refer to our Note 2 of our consolidated condensed financial statements
contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation contained in Part
II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December
31, 2011 and Note 2 of our consolidated condensed financial statements contained
therein for a more complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and
use of estimates.
