CYCLONE POWER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATIONAL AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is the successor entity to the business of Cyclone Technologies LLLP (the “LLLP”), a limited liability limited partnership formed in Florida in June 2004. The LLLP was the original developer and intellectual property holder of the Cyclone engine technology.

On July 2, 2007, the LLLP merged into Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc., a publicly-traded Florida corporation that had recently re-domiciled from California and changed its name from Coastal Technologies, Inc. (the “Pink Sheet Company”). Prior to the merger, the Pink Sheet Company was engaged in the business of medical software development. At such time, the Pink Sheet Company had outstanding 22,249,841 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ($.0001 par value), 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock ($.0001 par value) and 33,000,000 shares of common stock ($.0001 par value) for all of the equity interests of the LLLP. Pursuant to the merger and the share exchange, the LLLP was dissolved. The stock issued represented 60 percent of the common stock and all of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred stock of the company at the time of merger. This reverse merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of Cyclone, with all assets and liabilities recorded at historical cost. Concurrent with the merger, the Company sold its medical software development business for $100,000 in cash. Prior to the merger, the Pink Sheet Company had operations, assets and liabilities, and was not considered a “Shell Company” under SEC guidelines.

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company established a subsidiary, Cyclone-WHE LLC (the “WHE Subsidiary”) to market the waste heat recovery systems for all Cyclone engine models. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had an 82.5% controlling interest in the WHE Subsidiary. In March 2012, the Company established Cyclone Performance LLC (“Cyclone Performance”) f/k/a Cyclone-TeamSteam USA, LLC. The purpose of Cyclone Performance is to build, test and run a vehicle utilizing the Company’s engine. As of March 31, 2013, the company had a 95% controlling interest in Cyclone Performance.

The Company is primarily a research and development engineering company whose main purpose is to develop, commercialize, market and license its Cyclone engine technology.

B. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 82.5% owned WHE Subsidiary and its 95% owned subsidiary Cyclone Performance. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.
 
The Company prepares its unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The principles require the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the period. On an on-going basis, the Company reviews and evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those that relate to the realizable value of accounts receivable, inventories, identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

C. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855, “Subsequent Events”. ASC 855 offers assistance and establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ACS 855 does not result in material changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports. This guidance requires disclosure of the date through which events subsequent to the Balance Sheet date have been evaluated and whether such date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. Management evaluated events occurring between the Balance Sheet date of March 31, 2013, and when the financial statements were available to be issued. Subsequent events that require disclosure are provided in Note 19.

D. CASH

Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions.

E. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due pursuant to engine delivery and research and development prototype charges. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no uncollected progress billings and no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.

F. COMPUTATION OF LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is not presented as the conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, total anti-dilutive shares amounted to approximately 18.6 and 10.4 million shares, respectively.

G. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.

In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2013, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. Interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the financial statements as a component of income taxes. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2009 through 2012.

H. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements”, and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment of engines and systems, engine prototypes, engine designs or other deliverables to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from contracts for multiple deliverables and milestone methods recognition are evaluated and allocated as appropriate. The Company has determined that the milestone method of revenue recognition (ASC 605-28) is appropriate for one of the Company’s contracts as the contract enumerates specific approved work effort milestones required for remuneration. The Company achieved the first milestone on this contract in July 2012 and for all of 2012 recognized revenue and related costs of goods sold of approximately $753,000 and $428,000, respectively.  In the first quarter of 2013, the Company achieved another milestone and recognized additional revenue and related cost of goods sold of approximately $251,000 and $165,000, respectively, which are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company does not allow its customers to return prototype products. Current contracts do not require the Company to provide any warranty assistance after the “deliverable” has been accepted.

It is the Company’s intention when it has royalty revenue from its contracts to record royalty revenue periodically when earned, as reported in sales statements from customers. The Company does not have any royalty revenue to date.

I. WARRANTY PROVISIONS

Current contracts do not require warranty assistance subsequent to acceptance of the “deliverable R&D prototype” by the customer. For products that the Company will resell in the future, warranty costs are anticipated to be fully borne by the manufacturing vendor.

J. INVENTORY

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Costs include material, labor and allocated overhead to manufacture a completed engine. These costs are periodically evaluated to determine if they have a net realizable value. If the net realizable value is lower than the carrying amount, a reserve is provided.

K. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1
 
 
Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2
 
 
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date.
Level 3
 
 
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting date.

The summary of fair values and changing values of financial instruments as of January 1, 2012 (beginning of period) and December 31, 2012 (end of period) is as follows:

  $ 494,626     $ (494,626 )   $ -      3  
Black Scholes

Please refer to Note 16 for disclosure and assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

L. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development activities for product development are expensed as incurred. Costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $250,550 and $255,824, respectively.

M. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company applies the fair value method of ASC 718, “Share Based Payment”, in accounting for its stock based compensation. This standard states that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company values stock based compensation at the market price for the Company’s common stock as of the date in which the obligation for payment of services is incurred.

N. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND PURCHASE WARRANTS

The Company accounts for common stock options and purchase warrants at fair value in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation method is used to determine fair value of these warrants consistent with ASC 718, “Share Based Payment”. Use of this method requires that the Company make assumptions regarding stock volatility, dividend yields, expected term of the warrants and risk-free interest rates.

The Company accounts for transactions in which services are received from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the equity instruments exchanged, in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity Based payments to Non-employees”.

O. ORIGINAL ISSUE DEBT DISCOUNT

The original issue discount (OID) related to notes payable is being amortized by the effective interest method over the repayment period of the notes. The unamortized OID is represented as a reduction of the amount of the notes payable.

P. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
          
  Years  
Display equipment for trade shows
  3
 
 
Leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures
10 -
15
 
Shop equipment
  7
 
 
Computers
  3
 
 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Q. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets and other long lived assets to determine whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. To date, the Company has not recognized any impairment charges.

R. RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain balances that have been presented previously have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted for this period.

S. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-02 “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)” in February 2013 and 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” in January 2013.  Management believes that these standards   will not materially impact our financial statement disclosures.

T. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk. The Company expects cash and accounts receivable to be the two assets most likely to subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its risk of loss exposure. The Company plans to minimize its accounts receivable credit risk by transacting contractual arrangements with customers that have been subjected to credit evaluations and structuring the contracts in a manner that lessens inherent credit risks.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company maintained its cash in two quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts through March 31, 2013.  The Company purchases raw material and components from multiple sources, none of which may be considered a principal or material supplier. If necessary, the Company could replace these suppliers with minimal effect on its business operations.


NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating losses of approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The cumulative deficit since inception is approximately $49.4 million, which is comprised of $18.6 million attributable to operating losses and other expenses, and includes $30.8 million in non-cash derivative liability accounting. The Company has a working capital deficit at March 31, 2013 of approximately $3.5 million. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans which include implementation of its business model to generate revenue from development contracts, licenses and product sales, and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will also likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company is currently raising working capital to fund its operations via private placements of common stock and debt, advance contract payments (deferred revenue) and advances from and deferred payments to related parties.

NOTE 10 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

A. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

In recognition of and compensation for services rendered by officers and employees for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the company issued 600,000 common stock options, valued at $37,000  (valued pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model) that are exercisable into shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.08  and with a maturity life of 10 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the income statement charge for the amortization of stock options was $38,767 and the unamortized balance was $96,127.

In recognition of and compensation for services rendered by employees for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 3,840,000 common stock options, valued at $287,157 (valued pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model) that are exercisable into shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.08 to $0.18 and a maturity life of 5-10 years. These options have a 1-year vesting requirement and the Company estimates that these options will be exercised within 3-5 years of issue. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the income statement charge for the amortization of stock options was $442,355 and the unamortized balance was $143,573. The options may also be exercised by the optionee by having the Company withhold shares that would otherwise be delivered pursuant to the option, based upon the market value of those shares, and equal to the total exercise price of the remaining exercised options. In 2012, the Company also extended the exercise terms of 450,000 vested options issued in 2010 from 2 years to 10 years, offset by an increase in the exercise price from $0.15 to $0.20.

In April 2012, the Company adopted its 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”) by a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors. The Company’s 2012 Plan provides officers, directors and employees of the Company with the right to receive incentive stock options (“ISOs”), within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and options not constituting ISOs. Options to acquire a total of 5 million shares of common stock were authorized, which is administered by a committee consisting of the entire Board of Directors, which has authority to issue any number of options to grantees under an Option Agreement, with a termination date no greater than 10 years from the grant date. The committee also has the authority to allow a form of payment other than cash, such as stock payment by optionee or the withholding of shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to an option.

The fair value of stock options and purchase warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was calculated using the following assumptions:

   
Three Months Ended

Risk free interest rate
    .72 % -     .77 %     .30 % -     .72 %

Expected dividend yield
        0 %               0 %      
Average value per options and warrants
  $ .03   -   $ .06     $ .03   -   $ .11  

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock price. Short Term U.S. Treasury rates were utilized at the risk free interest rate. The expected term of the options and warrants was calculated using the alternative simplified method newly codified as ASC 718 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” which defined the expected life as the average of the contractual term of the options and warrants and the weighted average vesting period for all issuances.

B. COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
 
In quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company repaid debt and interest of $131,204 in common stock. 1,986,222 common stock warrants issued in connection with $544,000 aggregate debt financing in the third quarter of 2012 were re-priced to $0.10 (from $.20), and an additional 993,111 common stock warrants priced at $0.10 were issued pursuant to this repayment event.  The warrant holders may exercise the warrants without paying the cash price, and instead have the Company withhold shares that would otherwise be delivered pursuant to the warrant, based upon the market value of those shares and equal to the total conversion price of the remaining converted warrants. The warrants are also subject to certain anti-dilution protections, whereby if the Company issues common stock at a price less than $0.10 a share (in a “non-exempted” issuance, and based on the most current exercise price), then the exercise price of the warrants shall reset to that lower value. “Exempted” issuances include shares issued subject to Board-approved option plans, any convertible securities outstanding as of the date of the warrant issuance, up to 5 million shares of common stock issued to service providers of the Company, and certain other issuances set forth in the warrant agreements.

In the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 2,440,000 warrants at a $0.20 exercise price (valued at $173,369) with a 3 year term, pursuant to the sale of common stock to unaffiliated third parties. Also, in recognition of these warrants issued in 2012 for common stock sales, the Company re-priced 2,843,750 warrants issued in 2011 (pursuant to the sale of common stock) to a $0.20 exercise price from a $.27-$.32 price. The Black Scholes valuation of the re-priced warrants is $232,383 as compared to the initial valuation of $589,238.

In the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,162,667 warrants at a $.20 exercise price with a 5 year term (valued at $97,454) in connection with $436,000 of debt financing. The Company issued an additional 68,692 warrants at an exercise price of $.27 with a 3 year term (valued at $2,236) pursuant to commission on common stock sale. The Company also issued 500,000 common stock warrants (valued at $32,145) at an exercise price of $0.17 with a 5 year term, pursuant to a consulting agreement with Advent Power Systems. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company issued an additional 436,000 warrants at a $0.15 exercise price with a 5 year term (valued at $17,270) in connection with $109,000 of debt financing. The Company also re-priced and issued an additional 387,555 warrants in connections with the above $436,000 debt financing, with a net reduced Black Scholes valuation of $18,173.

In the year ended December 31, 2012, 1,520,500 warrants expired at an average exercise price of $0.224.

The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities for three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 consisted of the following:
 
 
Deferred Tax Assets

Valuation Allowance
    (6,452,290 )     (6,268,801 )
Total Net Deferred Tax Assets
  $ -     $ -  

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $14 million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2027. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax asset has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

NOTE 12 –LEASE OBLIGATIONS

A. CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATIONS

In 2009, the Company acquired $27,401 of property and equipment via capitalized lease obligations at an average interest rate of 18.4%. In September 2012, the Company acquired $21,310 of equipment via capitalized lease obligations at an interest rate of 12.5%. Total lease payments made for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were $1,075. The balance of capitalized lease obligations payable at March 31, 2013 was $21,861. Future lease payments are:

B. LEASE ON ADDITIONAL FACILITIES

In July 2011, the Company signed a one-year lease for an additional 2,000 square feet at a rate of $8.25/ s.f. Effective July 2012 the Company renewed this lease for one year, at an annual rate of $16,800 or $8.40/s.f, terminating in September 2013. The lease has a remaining 1-year extension. The lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $4,452 and $4,080, respectively.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has employment agreements with Harry Schoell, Chairman and CTO (previously, CEO), at $150,000 per year; Frankie Fruge, COO, at $120,000 per year; and Christopher Nelson, President and General Counsel, at $130,000 per year (collectively, the “Executives”). These agreements provide for a term of three (3) years from their Effective Date (July 2007 in the case of Schoell and Fruge, and August 2011 in the case of Nelson), with automatically renewing successive one year periods starting on the end of the second anniversary of the Effective Date. If the Executive is terminated “without cause” or pursuant to a “change in control” of the Company, as both defined in the respective agreements, the Executive shall be entitled to (i) any unpaid Base Salary accrued through the effective date of termination, (ii) the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate prevailing at such termination through 12 months from the date of termination or the end of his Term then in effect, whichever is longer, and (iii) any Performance Bonus that would otherwise be payable to the Executive were he/she not terminated, during the 12 months following his or her termination.

NOTE 14 – CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company established a 100% owned consolidated subsidiary (renamed) Cyclone Performance LLC. The purpose of Cyclone Performance is to build, test and run a vehicle utilizing the Company’s engine. In the last quarter of 2012, the Company sold a 5% equity investment to an unrelated investor for $30,000. Prior to December 31, 2012, this 5% equity investment was acquired by corporate officers of the Company.  Losses of the subsidiary are currently fully borne by the Company, and no allocations were made to the non-controlling interest in the consolidated 2013 balance sheet, as there is no guarantee of future profits or positive cash flow of the subsidiary. As of March 31, 2013, the cumulative unallocated losses to the non-controlling interests of this subsidiary of $954 are to be recovered by the parent from future subsidiary profits when they materialize.

In 2010 the Company established a Cyclone-WHE LLC to license and market waste heat recovery systems for all engine models. Equity participation of 5% was sold to a minority investor for $30,000, via the conversion of a Cyclone note payable. Another 5% was purchased directly from the subsidiary by a minority investor for services valued at $30,000 consisting of assistance in marketing, management and financing for projects to be carried out by the subsidiary. These services were amortized over a 12 month period. This investor also received and exercised a 2.5% equity purchase warrant in the subsidiary for $50,000.

Effective July 1, 2010, a 5% equity contribution in Cyclone-WHE was provided to the Managing Director of the subsidiary in consideration of $30,000 of future professional services (which were amortized over a 12 month period). Additionally, options were given for the acquisition of an additional 5% equity in the subsidiary at a total price of $100,000, vesting half in 12 months and half in 24 months, exercisable for 5 years. No value was attributed to these options, since the subsidiary had no significant operations or assets.

The total losses of the Cyclone-WHE subsidiary for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $0 in both periods. Losses of the subsidiary are currently fully borne by the Company, and no allocations have been made to the non-controlling interest in the accompanying balance sheets. There is no guarantee of future profits or positive cash flow of the subsidiary will be realized.

NOTE 15 – PENALTY PAYMENT

In 2009, the Company signed a contract for the delivery of two Cyclone prototype engines that had a performance penalty of $25,000 per month for late delivery (not to exceed $400,000), paid with restricted Company common stock (pursuant to Rule 144) based on the closing price for the Company’s stock on the OTC Markets on the last day of the applicable month. Other terms of the contract reflected development fees paid by the customer, and royalties to be paid to the Company based on units subsequently manufactured and sold by the customer. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company charged $0 and $50,000, respectively, of this penalty to cost of goods sold for subsequent engine delivery. As of April 2012, the maximum $400,000 contracted penalty had been provided and no additional penalties in stock or cash are to be recognized on the contract.

NOTE 16 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company had issued certain freestanding and embedded financial instruments that are classified as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.

Phoenix Common Stock Warrant

As part of the Company’s license agreement with Phoenix Power Group (“Phoenix”), in 2009 the Company agreed to issue to Phoenix a common stock purchase warrant (the “Phoenix Warrant”) at a price of $0.19 per share, equal to two (2%) percent of the total issued, outstanding, convertible debt and dilutive common stock of the Company at the time of exercise. The number of shares into which the Phoenix Warrant was convertible was contingent upon the number of shares outstanding at the date it was exercised. The Phoenix Warrant was to vest upon the delivery of the first two prototype Cyclone Mark 5 Engines to Phoenix and payment by Phoenix of the full $400,000 license fee, and terminate 24 months thereafter, and were non-transferable. As of December 31, 2011, the calculated number of shares into which the Phoenix Warrant was convertible was 4.68 million, and was valued at approximately $494,626 (by the Black Scholes valuation method). It was to be amortized proportionally over the life of the contract, as an expense of the contact in conjunction with revenue and royalty recognition from this contract. Because the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Phoenix Warrant was unknown until the time of exercise, and there was no limit to the number of shares that were to be issuable upon exercise, the Phoenix Warrant was required to be accounted for as a derivative liability. The resulting derivative liability of $494,626 from the Warrant was presented at its fair value on the accompanying December 31, 2011 balance sheet with changes in fair value reported in the statement of operations. In March 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Phoenix to effect a cashless exercise of the Phoenix Warrant into 2 million shares of restricted common stock (valued at $380,000) and to retire the Phoenix Warrant.  In the first quarter of 2012, the Company recognized a $114,626 gain on retiring the derivative liability.

The fair value of the warrants, at December 31, 2011, had been estimated using the Black Scholes model using the following assumptions:
Risk free rate
   
.39
%
Expected volatility
   
108
%
Expected term in years

Expected dividend yield

A summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities is provided in Note 1.K.


NOTE 17 – RECEIVABLES, DEFERRED REVENUE AND BACKLOG

As of March 31, 2013, the Company has no billed accounts receivable. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 the Company had collected $251,441, which relates to work in progress billings due from the U.S. Army/TACOM contract (see Note 18), which has been recorded as revenue under the milestone method of revenue recognition for the contract.

As of March 31, 2013, total backlog for prototype engines to be delivered in the following twelve months was $1.7 million, of which approximately $0.5 million has been paid under the Company’s Phoenix Power and Combilift agreements, and $1 million had been paid under the Company’s U.S. Army contract.  The Company expects the balance from these projects to be paid over the following six to nine months of the respective contracts’ development periods, and engines are delivered to the customers.

NOTE 18 – ACQUISITION OF ADVENT’S SELECT ASSETS, BUSINESS AND CONTRACTS

On February 16, 2012, the Company acquired select net assets, business and contracts of Advent Power Systems, Inc. (“Advent”) for 1.5 million shares of common stock, valued at approximately $330,000. An additional $27,500 was paid to a consultant in the form of common stock. The value of the U.S. Army contract (to develop an auxiliary power unit for multiple lines of combat vehicles) transferred to the Company was $1.4 million. Up to 1.1 million shares of the 1.5 million shares paid as consideration in the acquisition are subject to forfeiture if there are any negative changes in value to the acquired assets over the 12 months following the closing of the acquisition. As of the first quarter of 2013, no shares were subject to forfeiture.  The common stock is further restricted for resale by a contractual two-year leak-out provision.  Of the $330,000 purchase price paid in common stock, virtually all was allocated to the U.S. Army contract asset and retirement of Advent’s exclusive license for sale of Cyclone engines to military customers.

As of July 2012, the Company had also assumed the position as prime contractor, which it believes will assist the Company in acquiring new defense contracts in the future. As of July 5, 2012, the U.S. Army contract was modified from a “cost plus” with a price cap payment arrangement to a “fixed fee” structure with milestone payments. In September 2012 the Company was paid $502,045 after successfully reaching its first of five major milestones under the contract. In November 2012, January 2013 and April 2013, the Company reached its second, third and fourth milestones, and received for each milestone accomplishment $251,441 payment from the U.S. Army.

The Company recorded the assets and liabilities acquired from Advent as follows:

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2013, the Company closed the first tranche of a $500,000 convertible debt financing, consisting of $100,000 paid to the Company by JMJ Financial (the “Lender”). The next tranche of $100,000 may be paid at the Lender’s choosing within the next 150 days, and thereafter, the Company and Lender must agree to the timing and amount of additional tranches.  The Promissory Note (the “Note”), which matures November 2013, bears 12% interest with a 10% Original Issuance Discount (OID). The principal amount of the Note can be converted to common stock of the Company at any time at a 30% discount to the average of the three lowest closing prices during the previous 20 trading days, subject to a hard conversion floor of $0.08 per share. The Company may prepay the Note within the first six months. The Note bears standard price protection provisions should the Company issue shares at a lower price, as well as piggy-back registration rights. There are no warrants or other rights attached to the Note.  The Note was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) and was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act.

Overview

The Company is engaged in the research and development of all-fuel, eco-friendly engine technologies. Several prototypes of these engines are nearing completion with one model currently expected to go into limited production in 2013. While the Company started to generate revenue from its operations as early as 2008, it has not had material or consistent revenue in each of the last two fiscal years. In order for the Company to maintain and expand its operations through the next 12 months, it will seek license, sales and development agreements that provide up-front or progress payment revenue to the Company, and continue to raise capital by means of equity or debt offerings.

With respect to these endeavors, in the first quarter of 2013 the Company raised $100,000 from a private offering of common stock to a European investor and principal owner of an industrial holding company.  The Company also closed in April 2013 the first $100,000 tranche of a $500,000 convertible debt financing with the investment fund JMJ Financial. The next tranche of $100,000 may be paid at the Lender’s choosing within the next 150 days. This note is convertible into common stock at a hard floor price of $0.08 per share, and contains certain anti-dilution and price protection provisions.  In the quarter, the Company also issued $70,000 in promissory notes which bear interest at 12% payable in cash.
 
With respect to convertible promissory notes issued in 2012 to Brio Capital LP and Gemini Master Fund Ltd., in March 2013, the Company satisfied $125,720 of principal and interest due by issuing approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock.  This conserved cash for the Company and, in our opinion, demonstrated confidence of these two funds in the long term viability of our equity.
 
In January 2013, the Company achieved the third (of five) major milestone under its contract with the U.S. Army / TARDEC (the “U.S. Army Contract”), which triggered a $251,441 funding payment from the government. The Company reached its fourth milestone and submitted a payment invoice of an additional $251,441 in April 2013, which is expected to be received in May. The Company is confident at this time that it can fulfill its obligations to the U.S. Army in a timely manner as prime contractor under this $1.4 million Phase 1 development agreement.  This involves the development of a highly compact, multi-fuel capable 10kW auxiliary power unit for military combat vehicles, both as an on-board power supply or a dismountable unit for forward operating bases. Management is currently working with several consulting groups and other partners to secure Phase 2 funding for this program, which if successful, could generate several million dollars in revenue to the Company over the following two years.

Late in 2012, the Company and Phoenix Power passed a major technological hurdle in the development of a 7kW waste oil power co-generator when the parties successfully integrated Phoenix’s waste oil combustion chamber / heat exchanger (CCHX) with Cyclone’s WHE-25 system. Over the following several months the two partners have been optimizing the performance and durability of this system, with the goal of commencing pilot programs and limited run production in late 2013. Phoenix’s distribution arm is the largest manufacturer and distributor of waste oil furnaces in the U.S., with over 150,000 such units in the field supported by a well-established service network. The parties believe that it is possible to retrofit or replace at least 10% of these units over the following several years with this Cyclone-Phoenix system which could produce both power and heating for commercial facilities and provide an attractive return on investment.

Throughout 2012, the Company signed several teaming and joint-development agreement with companies that have synergistic capabilities in the waste-to-power market, including biomass gasification, methane production and flaring, and micro-grid electrical power generation. Also, in February 2013, the Company signed an agreement with The Ohio State University’s Center for Automotive Research (OSU CAR) to assist in the commercialization of its external combustion engine technology. This is an important partnership for the Company as it works to place its initial engines into production by the end of 2013.
 
The Company believes that the waste-to-power sector, as demonstrated by the Phoenix waste oil power co-generator and these other vertical alliances, presents a major opportunity for the Cyclone technology. Specifically in the smaller-scale distributed market (under 500kW output), the Company believes it can achieve considerable market penetration over the following years, as businesses, industrial sites, municipal waste authorities and agricultural concerns gain greater understanding of the necessity and economic benefits of utilizing waste resources more effectively. Management believes that this represents potentially a multi-billion dollar business in the U.S. alone, with even greater possibilities overseas in rapidly-industrializing and developing nations.

James Landon resigned his positions as CEO and Director of the Company, effective March 6, 2013, for personal reasons.  The resignation was on good terms, and management wishes him well.

Non-Cash Derivative Accounting Effect on Deficit and Paid-In Capital.  In 2011, the Company converted and retired 750,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock, which was subject to derivative liability presentation. The Company was required to record the estimated value of the Series A Preferred stock as a long term liability on its balance sheet.  Dependent on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the end of each reporting period, this valuation method either created a non-cash expense or non-cash income, recorded on the Company’s statement of operations for such period. The cumulative net effect of this accounting was to increase the Company’s additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit by approximately $30 million at the time of conversion in May 2011.  There were no effects on the Company’s cash flow or results of operations, and $30 million in investment proceeds were neither collected by the Company nor spent on operations.
 
Stock for Services and Contracts. Despite its limited cash resources, the Company is able to retain engineering, consulting, legal and accounting personnel partially through the issuance of Rule 144 restricted common stock and options. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company issued 1,662,500 shares of common stock and 600,000 common stock options in order to conserve cash and provide long-term incentives for the Company’s employees and service providers. This resulted in a non-cash charge of $181,785.

Research & Development. As a research and development company, a material portion of all funds raised or generated through operations are placed back into the R&D activities of the Company. The Company’s R&D expenses were $250,550 for the first quarter of 2013.

Commitments for Capital and Operational Expenditures. Should additional funding be secured, the Company could consider a significant purchase of facilities or equipment.  The Company would also increase the number of skilled and unskilled employees on payroll, including the recruitment of high level executive management and additional engineers and mechanical staff. Such new hires would considerably increase the Company’s monthly operational expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates, assumptions and related expectations. Management believes that these estimates, assumptions and related expectations upon which we depend at the time are reasonable based upon information then available. These estimates, assumptions and related expectations affect the reported amounts of the balance sheet and income statement for the timeframe of the financial statements presented. To the degree that there are significant variances between these estimates and assumptions and actual results, there would be an effect on the financial statements. GAAP mandates specific accounting handling in numerous situations and does not require management’s estimates and judgment in its application. Alternative accounting treatments, where available, based on management’s estimates and judgments would not produce a materially different result. The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Intangible assets, consisting primarily of patents, are deemed to be critical for the furtherance of the business objectives of the Company and its engine products. Impairment is not currently reflective, as the Company is developing its products and obtaining new contracts based on these engine patents.

Inventory for engine manufacturing is reviewed on an ongoing basis for obsolescence as engine designs are revised, with resultant charges to R&D.

For purposes of valuing stock based compensation, the Company uses market prices of its common stock as of the date in which the obligation for payment of services is incurred. For purposes of valuing stock based compensation from common stock options, the Company uses the Black Scholes valuation method. This method requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding stock prices, stock volatility, dividend yields, expected exercise term and risk-free interest rates.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 82.5% owned subsidiary Cyclone-WHE and its 95% owned subsidiary Cyclone Performance. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. As such, not all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements have been presented.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation for interim financial statements have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2012.   

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Revenue. The Company recognized $251,441 in revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from the successful fulfillment of the third milestone under the US Army Contract. There was no revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
 
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $85,965, attributable to the US Army Contract. For the same period in the previous year the Company recognized a $50,000 gross loss resulting from a contract fee pertaining to late product delivery.

Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were $678,475 as compared to $823,523 for the same period in the previous year, a reduction of $145,048 or 18%. The majority of the decrease was due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $126,189 or 23%, reflective of the reduced  amortization of employee stock options previously issued, and reduced non-essential staff and related costs. There was also a decrease of $13,585 or 65% in advertising and promotion costs.

Operating Loss. The operating loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $592,510 and $873,523, respectively, a decreased loss of $281,013 or 32%, due to the factors outlined above.

Other Income (Expense).  Net other expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $76,376, due to interest expense (increase debt levels) and amortization of warrants issued pursuant to debt. This compares to a net other income of  $96,931 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was inclusive of a derivative related gain of $114,626 attributable to the Phoenix warrant, net of interest expense of $17,695.

Net Loss and Loss per Share.  The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $668,886, compared to net loss of $776,592 for the same period in the previous year, a reduced loss of $107,706 or 14%. The net loss per weighted average share was $0.00 for both the current quarter and the prior quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2013, the net working capital deficiency was $3,517,687 as compared to a deficiency of $3,363,256 at December 31, 2012, an increase of $154,431 or 4.6%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash increased by $27,631. This is reflective of funds provided by the sale of common stock of $100,000, reduced inventory of $119,631, higher accounts payable and accrued expenses of $82,022, increased payables and accrued expenses to related parties of $98,958, and debt proceeds of $ 70,000. Funds were used by the net loss of $668,886 and debt repayment of $10,000. Non-cash charges for the three months were from the issuance of common stock, warrants and options for services of $181,785.

In the comparable first quarter period in 2012, funds were primarily used by the net loss of $776,592, an increase in inventory of $104,751, and repayment of the factor liability of $43,169. Funds were provided by the net sale of shares of common stock of $146,000, $285,000 worth of promissory notes, and an increase in deferred revenue of $62,618.  Additionally, the Company issued common stock and common stock options for services - a non-cash charge to the Income Statement of $261,599 in the three months.  Also, the Company incurred a non-cash charge of $50,000 (paid with common stock and included in accrued expenses) as a penalty for late product delivery.

Cash Flow Management Plan

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of approximately $0.7 million. Cumulative operating losses since inception are approximately $17.9 million.  The Company has a working capital deficit at March 31, 2013 of approximately $3.5 million. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to support its operations on a long term basis. This raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If additional funds cannot be raised or otherwise generated, the Company may be forced to reduce staff, minimize its research and development activities, or in a worst case scenario, shut-down operations.

Management’s intentions are to limit the amount of shares we need to issue for investment capital by focusing on revenue from development contracts, license agreements, and sales of products and prototypes. We expect to receive about $140,000 from the US Army Contract over the following four months, and another $300,000 from Combilift within the following six months.  Additionally, we have contracts in various stages of negotiation that could generate another $2 million in cash and revenue over the following 12 to 24 months. We are also seeking Phase 2 funding on our US Army Contract, which could provide several more million dollars in revenue to the Company over the next 24 months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in closing these new contracts, but we are cautiously optimistic that these or other opportunities will materialize in the coming quarters.

We have submitted approximately $1.5 million in grant applications and proposals with the Department of Defense, USAID and other government offices, which could provide non-dilutive funding for our development.  We are also working with the State of Ohio with respect to the expansion of our manufacturing capabilities there, in connection with our proposed JV partner Precision CNC.  These discussions could lead to low interest loans and grants from Ohio for machinery purchases, facility expansion and technology development.

With respect to our Land Speed Record vehicle, we believe that this asset can also generate funding for Cyclone, especially as we start testing and running of the car in the coming months. We have had interest from corporations and private investors in sponsoring or outright purchasing the vehicle, either of which could provide substantial funding to the Company.  The possibility of breaking the land speed record for steam power vehicles this year could also attract new strategic partners to provide development support and private investors to provide capital funding.

Our Cyclone-WHE division was initially established to provide a corporate entity for operations of our waste-to-power business, as well as another funding option for investors who prefer to invest in non-public companies.  We are actively seeking partners for this company, and believe that this strategy could be successful over the coming year in raising additional capital for both Cyclone and the subsidiary entity.

We expect cash flow needs to be approximately $150,000 per month during the next few months of 2013 due to certain expense reduction steps we have recently taken including temporarily reducing the number of employees who were not directly working on or needed for revenue producing projects.  We believe that monthly expenses will increase to approximately $200,000 to $250,000 by the end of 2013, as new projects come on line.  We are preparing for the likelihood that cash expenses of approximately $2.4 million in 2013 may exceed revenue for the year.  This would require additional sale of securities or debt, which we are currently pursing.
 
While we continue to expand revenue from operations, to make up for cash short-falls, in the first quarter of 2013 the Company raised $100,000 from a private offering of common stock, and closed in April 2013 the first $100,000 tranche of a $500,000 convertible debt financing.  We also satisfied $125,720 of principal and interest due on two promissory notes by issuing approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock.  This conserved cash for the Company and, in our opinion, demonstrated confidence of these two funds in the long term viability of our equity.
 
In the future, no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain capital on acceptable terms, if at all. In such an event, this may have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The Company’s auditors have issued a going concern opinion for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Management is optimistic, however, that revenue can be generated and funding can be secured to maintain operations and development at the current pace.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

As a growing small business, the Company continuously devotes resources to the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. For instance, with respect to the handling of complex derivative accounting issues, the Company will consult with third party professionals with expertise in these matters as necessary to insure appropriate accounting treatment for such transactions.
