STERLING CONSOLIDATED CORP AND AFFILIATES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~MARCH~~JUNE 3130, 2020

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the period ended, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures ~~normally~~ normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, ~~2019~~2020 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2020 and ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

COVID-19

In the first quarter of 2020 the Company was affected by COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and reduction of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. We reiterate that COVID 19 has affected our results of operations and the first quarter 2020 financial results are not necessarily indicative of the annual 2020 results.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the coronavirus outbreak has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied by the ~~Company~~ Company in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020.

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (Topic 326)

This pronouncement, along with ~~subsequent~~ subsequent ASUs issued to clarify provisions of ASU 2016-13, changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected. The standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated the impact in 2020 and has concluded the effect is not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable and sales allowances, fair values of financial instruments, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, inventory valuations, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Inventories

Inventories, which are comprised of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (based on weighted average method) or market. Cost does not include shipping and handling fees, which are charged directly to income. The Company provides for estimated losses from obsolete or slow-moving inventories, which is approximately 20% of the total inventory, and writes down the cost of inventory at the time such determinations are made. Reserves are estimated ~~based~~ based upon inventory on hand, historical sales activity, industry trends, the business environment, and the expected net realizable value. The net realizable value is determined based upon current awareness of market prices.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on Account Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all of the related amendments (“new revenue standard”). In the case of Sterling, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment of the product has occurred, price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For provision of third-party freight services provided by Integrity, revenue is recognized on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606. Revenue is generally recognized when the contracted goods arrive at their destination point. When revenues and expenses straddle a period end due to the time between shipment and delivery, Integrity allocates revenue between reporting periods based on relative transit time in each period with expenses recognized as incurred. Cost of goods is comprised of sale of o-rings and related rubber products. Freight services is comprised of freight forwarding and related services earned by Integrity and rental services is comprised of revenue from rental of commercial space to third parties.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

The computation of basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The computation of fully diluted earnings (loss) per share includes common stock equivalents outstanding at the balance sheet date.

COVID-19

In the first quarter of 2020 the Company was affected by COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and reduction of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. We reiterate that COVID 19 has affected our results of operations and the second quarter 2020 financial results are not necessarily indicative of the annual 2020 results.

COVID-19 related financing

PPP Note

On April 21, 2020, Sterling Seal & Supply, Inc. (“Sterling Seal”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sterling Consolidated Corp. (the “Company”), received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $326,100 under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The unsecured loan (the “PPP Loan”) is evidenced by a promissory note (the “PPP Note”) issued by Sterling Seal, dated April 21, 2020, in the principal amount of $326,100 with TrustBank (the “Lender”),

Under the terms of the PPP Note and the PPP, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 1.0% per annum with a deferral of payments for the first six months. The term of the PPP Note is two years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the PPP Note. To the extent the amount of the PPP Loan is not forgiven under the PPP, Sterling Seal will be obligated to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning after a six-month deferral period provided in the PPP Note and through April 21, 2022.

The CARES Act and the PPP provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed. Under the PPP, Sterling Seal may apply for forgiveness for all or a part of the PPP Loan. The amount of PPP Loan proceeds eligible for forgiveness is based on a formula that takes into account a number of factors, including: (i) the amount of PPP Loan proceeds that are used by Sterling Seal during the eight-week period after the PPP Loan origination date for certain specified purposes including payroll costs, interest on certain mortgage obligations, rent payments on certain leases, and certain qualified utility payments, provided that at least 75% of the PPP Loan amount is used for eligible payroll costs; (ii) Sterling Seal maintaining or rehiring employees, and maintaining salaries at certain levels; and (iii) other factors established by the SBA. Subject to the other requirements and limitations on PPP Loan forgiveness, only that portion of the PPP Loan proceeds spent on payroll and other eligible costs during the covered eight-week period will qualify for forgiveness. Although Sterling Seal currently intends to use the entire amount of the PPP Loan for qualifying expenses, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

Overview

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada as Oceanview Acquisition Corp. on January 31, 2011. On May 18, 2012, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to Sterling Consolidated Corp.

Our largest subsidiary is Sterling Seal & Supply, Inc. (“Sterling Seal”), a New Jersey corporation which was incorporated in 1997. Its predecessor was Sterling Plastic & Rubber Products, Inc., incorporated in New Jersey and was founded in 1970. Sterling Seal engages primarily in the distribution and sale of O-rings, rubber seals, oil seals, custom molded rubber parts, custom Teflon parts, Teflon rods, O-ring cord, bonded seals, O-ring kits, and stuffing box sealant.

We also own real property through our subsidiaries ADDR Properties, LLC (“ADDR”) and Q5 Ventures, LLC (“Q5”). ADDR owns a 28,000 square foot facility in Neptune, New Jersey, that is primarily used by Sterling Seal for its operations.

In addition, our subsidiary Integrity Cargo Freight Corporation (“Integrity”) is a freight forwarding business. Integrity shares a facility with Sterling Seal and manages the importation of Sterling Seal’s products and exports products on behalf of Sterling Seal to various countries. Currently eighty percent (80%) of Sterling Seal’s imports come from Asia, and ten percent (10%) of the Company’s sales are exported to various countries. However, all payables are billed and collected in USD, so Sterling does not bear any foreign exchange risk on open payables.

This ~~decrease~~ increase was ~~due~~ primarily due to ~~more~~COVID ~~efficient~~19 ~~purchasing and realization of some economies of scale~~ related ~~to the February 2019 acquisition of F&S Distributors, Inc~~inefficiencies.

Gross profit

Gross profit ~~increased~~decreased by $~~181~~150,~~984~~021 or ~~28.5~~approximately 48%, from $~~639~~309,~~151~~823 for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, ~~2019~~2020 to $~~821~~159,~~135~~802 for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2020. This ~~increase~~ decrease was due primarily to ~~a profit margin improvement on o-rings and rubber product sales from 31% for~~ the ~~three~~aforementioned ~~months~~increase ~~ended~~in ~~March 31,~~cost ~~2019 to 36% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The profit margin improvement was due to reduced freight expenses resulting from increased purchasing efficiency coupled with the realization~~ of ~~economies of scale related to the February 2019 acquisition of F&S Distributors, Inc~~sales.,

Operating income

Operating income increased by $307,757, from $70,018 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $377,775 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase can be explained by the above explained increases in net revenue and gross profit, coupled with a decrease of $125,773 in operating expenses. The reduction in operating expenses is explained by a reduction in legal and professional fees associated with the February 2019 purchase of F&S Distributors, Inc., a reduction of $25,000 in administrative payroll paid to a former executive of F&S Distributors, Inc. and a reduction in R&D expenses of $30,000.

Other expense

Other expense increased from $41,571 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $59,022 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to a loss on theft of $10,000 when the Company was defrauded by an individual posing as a customer and the Company mistakenly granted a fraudulent request to return an overpayment.

Net Income

As a result of the above factors, the Company showed a net ~~income~~loss of $19245,~~676~~820 for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, ~~2019~~2020, as compared to a net ~~income~~loss of $~~222~~80,~~506~~398 for the three months ended June ~~March~~30, 312019. This increased loss of $165,422 ~~2020~~or approximately 206% is primarily attributed to the aforementioned factors that affected cost of sales coupled with an increase in general and administrative costs of $73,326 due to increased headcount.

This decrease is primarily attributed to a reduction of borrowing on asset-based line of credit which totaled 487,381 in the first quarter of 2019 coupled with increased paydowns on notes payable and related party notes payable. profit

Gross profit increased by $31,693 or approximately 3%, from $948,974 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $980,937 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was due primarily to robust sales and profit in the 1^st quarter of 2020 offset by a sales slowdown in the 2^nd quarter of 2020 due to the effects of COVID 19.

Net Income

As a result of the above factors, the Company showed a net loss of $23,314 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to a net loss of $60,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decreased loss of $37,408 or approximately 62% is primarily attributed to the robust sales and profitability in the 1^st quarter of 2020.

The cash flow from financing activities decreased from net cash provided of $263,432 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 to net cash used of $66,033 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily attributed to a repayment of borrowings on asset-based line of credit and related party note in the amount of $190,916 and 231,433 respectively.

Debt Transactions

Asset Based Loan

The Company refinanced its debt in 2018 with a New York asset based lender and there is currently an outstanding balance of $853,470. The line of credit calls for a variable interest rate at market rates for the ABL industry.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures pertaining to contingent assets and liabilities. Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to bad debts, inventories, income taxes, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates.

We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical. Some of them involve significant judgments and uncertainties and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on Account Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ~~all~~ all of the related amendments (“new revenue standard”). In the case of Sterling, revenue is recognized only when control of the ~~price~~ isproduct ~~fixed~~passes orto ~~determinable,~~the ~~persuasive~~customer ~~evidence~~or ofthe anservice ~~arrangement~~is ~~exists,~~provided ~~shipment~~and ofis ~~the~~recognized ~~product~~at ~~has~~an ~~occurred,~~amount ~~price~~that isreflects ~~fixed~~the orconsideration ~~determinable~~expected ~~and~~to ~~collectability~~be ofreceived ~~the~~in ~~resulting~~exchange ~~receivable~~for issuch ~~reasonably~~goods ~~assured~~or services. The new revenue standard does not materially change this calculation method. For provision of third-party freight services provided by Integrity, revenue is recognized on on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606. Revenue is generally recognized when the contracted goods arrive at their destination point. When revenues and expenses straddle a period end due to the time between shipment and delivery, Integrity allocates revenue between reporting periods based on relative transit time in each period with expenses recognized as incurred. Cost of goods is comprised of sale of o-rings and related rubber products. Freight services is comprised of freight forwarding and related ~~services~~ services earned by Integrity and rental services is comprised of revenue from rental of commercial space to third parties.

Income taxes

Under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities have been adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount to be recognized in the financial statements will be the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.

Fair values of financial instruments

In January 2010, the FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in quarterly reports as well as in annual reports. For the Company, this statement applies to certain investments and long-term debt. Also, the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.

Various inputs are considered when determining the value of the Company’s investments and long-term debt. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

· Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.…).

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC Topic 825, effectively at the beginning of the second quarter in FY 2010, did not have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared.

Stock-based compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation at at fair value of the stock provided for services. The 10,300,000 of the stock options outstanding as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2020 were fully vested and therefore, no compensation expense was recorded in the ~~quarters~~quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2020 ~~or 2019~~.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

~~ASU~~The ~~2016-13,~~Company’s management has considered all ~~“Financial~~recent ~~Instruments~~accounting -pronouncements. ~~Credit~~Management ~~Losses”~~believes ~~(Topic~~that ~~326)~~these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

This pronouncement, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify provisions of ASU 2016-13, changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected The standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated the impact in 2020 and has concluded the effect is not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that due to material weaknesses the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, 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 the Company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that result in a more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2020:

(1)

Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert. Although our board of directors serves as the audit committee it has no independent directors These factors are counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management.

(2)

We do not have sufficient experience from our accounting personnel with the requisite U.S. GAAP public company reporting experience that is necessary for adequate controls and procedures.

(3)

Need for greater integration, oversight, communication and financial reporting of the books and records of our satellite offices.

Our management determined that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses.

Due to our small size, we were not able to immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. Notwithstanding the assessment that our Internal Controls over Financial Reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses identified herein, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Control

There has been no change in our internal ~~control~~ control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June ~~March 31~~30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
