Summary

 

Cyclone Power Technologies, a Florida corporation (OTCQB: CYPW) (the “Company,” “Cyclone,” or “we,” “our” is a clean-tech innovation company based in Pompano Beach, Florida. We were incorporated onJuly 5, 2007__. Our mission is to develop power technologies that lead to more efficient and diverse utilization of energy resources, less dependence on fossil fuels, and a cleaner environment.

 

Since 2006, we have completed multiple prototype stages and received 33 patents on the Cyclone Engine, an external heat engine that generates mechanical power by expanding super-heated steam rapidly inside its cylinders. This steam expansion pushes pistons and turns a shaft. Hot water is then expelled into a condenser to cool and return to the external heat source to repeat the process in a closed loop. This is a Rankine cycle, which is how nuclear and coal-fired power plants produce electricity.

 

What makes the Cyclone Engine different from power plants is size. Cyclone Engines are compact systems that can be used for distributed power generation (i.e., a small electric home generator that also co-generates hot water and space heating) and transportation applications. Unlike power plants that use turbines which are difficult to build cost-effectively and run efficiently in small sizes, we are designing our engines to be easy to manufacture, high performance, compact piston engines.

 

What makes the Cyclone Engine different from piston steam engines of the past is efficiency. Based on current testing, we are able to convert up to approximately 33% of the energy content of fuel into usable power. This is approximately a 400% improvement over historical steam engines and on par with today’s small diesel engines. We are able to achieve such high thermal efficiencies because we have figured out how to run our engines without using lubricating oil which carbonizes at high temperatures. Without that limitation we are able to utilize steam heated to the same temperature and pressures as used by large power plants. High temperature = high efficiency; and high pressure = high power density.

 

What makes the Cyclone Engine more useful than diesel engines is fuel diversity. As an external heat engine that uses steam to create mechanical power, how that steam is created is of little consequence. We can use traditional fossil or bio-fuels in our patented, clean-burning combustion chamber. We can integrate our engine with gasifiers that dispose biomass and bio-waste. We can capture exhaust heat from furnaces or other engines. We can even use solar thermal collectors to harness the energy of the sun.

 

The market opportunities for Cyclone Engines are vast. We estimate that our technology addresses a market potential of roughly $100+ billion, and touches virtually all areas of power generation and transportation, as well as the production of U.S bio-fuels, natural gas and coal.

 

We currently have three engines in development addressing markets that present what we believe to be the best and most immediate opportunities:

 

Our Mark 1 and Mark 3 model engines address the alternative energy markets to provide an external combustion engine able to burn various fuels providing power for usable mechanical and/or electric power. Our business model is to subcontract the manufacturing of these models and sell them to commercial customers and vertical partners starting in 2017.

Transportation and Equipment: Our Mark 5 model engine is a powerful, multi-fuel and clean burning demonstrator for the automotive, marine and off-road equipment markets. Our business model is to secure strong development partners in these sectors to provide program funding and support to allow us to complete a heavy equipment and vehicle integration in 2017.
   
Portable / Mobile Power: Our S-2 model engine was developed and accepted under a contract with the U.S. Army as a portable, multi-fuel power generator for vehicles and forward operating bases. We have licensed this technology to Falck Schmidt Defense Systems (“FSDS”) of Denmark , a worldwide military supplier. They will take the unit to a trial for military compliance.

 

The advantages of our technology have been widely recognized. We first caught the public eye as Popular Science Magazine’s Invention of the Year in 2008, and since then, we have secured engine development contracts with Raytheon, the U.S. Army, Phoenix Power Group (waste-to-energy), Combilift (European equipment manufacturer). FSDS (military supplier) and Integrated Biomass Energy System, FZ-LLC (“IBES”), a United Arab Emirates corporation . We have formed working relationships with other major defense and industrial groups, and teaming agreements with multiple “vertical” development partners that manufacture and distribute furnaces, gasifiers, electric generators and other synergistic technologies.

 

Business Objectives

 

Our business objective is to design and develop engines that we can manufacture through sub-contracted parties for direct sale to customers, which include Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of different clean combustion / heat technologies (such as biomass gasifiers and pyrolysis, methane and natural gas, wood pellet furnaces, solar collectors and similar items), and OEM’s in the equipment / transportation sectors. We also license our technology to manufacturers and other producers of specialized applications.

 

Based on our business model, our revenue has or will come from:

 

  Development and engineering fees from customers, partners and licensees;
     
  Direct sales revenue from engines we manufacture through sub contractors;
     
  Up-front license fees and on-going royalties based on sales by our licensees.
     
  Direct sales of Cyclone powered generators to distributors..

 

Development Status of Technology

 

Our products are in development, however, prototypes of several different models and sizes are near completion. The following lists each of the Cyclone Engines and products that we have in development:

 

 Model    Size    Uses   Stage

 Mark 1

 

   5 HP   Power generation –all fuels and heat sources   Preproduction units (10) in field testing
 Mark 3    25 HP   Auxiliary power for military, biomass to power, portable power   Preproduction units (15) at OEM’s
 Mark 5    100 HP   Transportation, commercial power, military   Beta Prototype (2)
 Combustion Chamber       Waste fuels, biomass to power, for :transportation, commercial power, military   Preproduction units (25)

 

  (1) “Pre Production Unit” refers to an engine in the process of being engineered for manufacturing at OEM’s
     
 

(2)

Beta Prototype” refers to a second generation prototype engine, which has undergone significant testing at Cyclone’s facility.

 

Our engines are currently in customer field testing, and there is no guarantee that they will successfully meet customer expectations when completed.

Research and Development Activities

 

As a technology research and development company, much of our annual expenses are dedicated towards R&D, including labor costs, material costs, tooling and equipment and other expenses required to run our business. Our R&D expenditures for 2015 and 2014 were $467,610 and $1,018,552, respectively.

 

We actively pursue development agreements with customers, whereby we will develop an engine, design plans or other products to spec at the customer’s full or partial expense. Sometimes these arrangements are part of a more expansive license agreement.

 

Prototyping and Manufacturing

 

We currently contract with multiple suppliers for the production of many of our prototype parts, which we design and then assemble and test at our facility. In 2014, we acquired the machinery to produce in-house a greater portion of this prototype manufacturing work, which we believe has saved us considerable time and money. For production of prototypes we have contracted with one or more manufacturers that have the expertise, machinery, tooling and other capital assets required to commercialize and manufacture in mass production our engines.

 

Competitive Business Conditions

 

We believe that our technology, which is a small-scale heat-regenerative, Rankine cycle external combustion engine, has little direct competition. However, depending on the industry in which these engines are applied, indirect competitors utilizing different technologies do exist.

 

Currently, there are several companies which have developed and commercialized other types of external heat engines, such as Stirling engines. Stirling engines are similar to our technology and are used in overlapping applications (such as solar thermal power generation), however; the two engine technologies have several major differences, including size, power-density, and adaptability to fluctuations in heat and load. Based on preliminary testing and analysis, we believe that our engine technology may be superior to the Stirling engines in these aspects; and thus, has more applications in waste heat and mobile uses (i.e., cars, trucks and ships). We have not yet commercialized our engine technology, and these claims are still to be proven. Also, several Stirling engine companies such as Infinia Corp. have greater capital resources than we do, which could help establish their technology in the marketplace quicker than we can.

 

Other technologies that may be indirectly competitive with our engines are lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. Batteries are useful for some applications where limited sustained power (torque) and operating time is needed, however, they are just “fuel tanks” which allow for power that is generated elsewhere (i.e., a coal-fired power plant) to be saved and transported. The 100hp Cyclone engine we are currently developing, which would produce approximately 50kW of electric output, weighs just 125lbs, is 2 ft in diameter and height, and is expected to cost 10 times less to produce. Once again, these claims are based on our current beliefs and developmental testing, as we have not yet produced commercial products.

Indian Patent Application No. 1949/DELNP/2007

 

Pursuant to new US Patent Office regulations, upon approval, expired patents can be reestablished from inception. We have also taken advantage of reissues to include changes and broaden the patents. We pursue a rigorous patent strategy, pursuant to which (and subject to our available cash resources) we file patents in the U.S. for our engines, their individual components, and other innovations and inventions we develop. We also pursue patents internationally in countries where we believe we may have manufacturing or sales opportunities and/or competition. Despite these efforts, we cannot make assurances that our patents will not infringe on other patents throughout the world, that other groups will not try to infringe on our patents, and if either of these were to occur, that we would have the resources to defend our rights. If this were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We require all customers, suppliers and other partners to execute Non-Disclosure Agreements. We also require our employees and certain contractors to sign agreements that assign to us any innovations or discoveries they develop while working for us or working with our technology. Our license agreements contain similar assignment provisions. We feel that these efforts are satisfactory in protecting our technology with respect to people and companies with which we have direct business relationships.

 

Sources and availability of raw material

 

We purchase raw materials and components from multiple sources, none of which may be considered a principal or material supplier. If necessary we could replace these suppliers with minimal effect on our business operations.

 

Dependence on one or a few major customers

 

We have contracts for development and licensing of our engine technology: Combi-Lift LTD. (a global materials handling and lift equipment manufacturer based in Ireland), FSDS (global military products manufacturing and supplier) IBES (a producer of biomass furnace electric systems) and G2E (a solar engineering company for Mexico and South America). We have formed working relationships with other major industrial groups, and teaming agreements with manufacturers. Q2 Power Inc. has been formally notified to cure contract breaches.

 

Because of the diversification of applications, uses and business models, and the current stage of our development / product sales cycle, we do not believe that the loss of the licensee or development partner would have a material adverse impact on our current or future operations. Additionally, we are actively pursuing other licensees and development partners in other product categories.

Governmental regulation

 

Our Products. Power systems are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that directly or indirectly impose standards governing emissions and noise. Our engines, when they will ultimately be installed in power systems, will be subject to compliance with all current emissions standards imposed by the EPA, state regulatory agencies in the United States, including CARB, and other regulatory agencies around the world and established for power systems utilized in applications such as electric generators or off-highway industrial equipment. EPA and CARB regulations imposed on engines utilized in industrial off-highway equipment generally serve to restrict emissions, with a primary focus on oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and hydrocarbons. Emission regulations for engines utilized in off-highway industrial equipment vary based upon the use of the equipment into which the engine is incorporated (such as stationary power generation or mobile off-highway industrial equipment), and the type of fuel used to drive the power system. Further, applicable emission thresholds differ based upon the gross power of an engine utilized in industrial off-highway equipment. Additionally, most emissions thresholds are designed for gasoline and diesel-powered “spark-ignited” internal combustion engines, and not external combustion engines like Cyclone’s engines. In 2015, Cyclone received EPA and CARB certifications for all fuels 25HP and below for power generation.

 

Our markets can be positively or negatively impacted by the effects of governmental and regulatory matters. We are affected not only by energy policy, laws, regulations and incentives of governments in the markets into which we sell, but also by rules, regulations and costs imposed by utilities. Utility companies or governmental entities could place barriers on the installation of our product or the interconnection of the product with the electric grid. Further, utility companies may charge additional fees to customers who install on-site power generation, thereby reducing the electricity they take from the utility, or for having the capacity to use power from the grid for back-up or standby purposes. These types of restrictions, fees or charges could hamper the ability to install or effectively use our products or increase the cost to our potential customers for using our systems in the future. This could make our systems less desirable, thereby adversely affecting our revenue and profitability potential. In addition, utility rate reductions can make our products less competitive which would have a material adverse effect on our future operations. These costs, incentives and rules are not always the same as those faced by technologies with which we compete. However, rules, regulations, laws and incentives could also provide an advantage to our distributed generation solutions as compared with competing technologies if we can achieve required compliance at a lower cost when our engines are commercialized. Additionally, reduced emissions and higher fuel efficiency could help our future customers combat the effects of global warming. Accordingly, we may benefit from increased government regulations that impose tighter emission and fuel efficiency standards. Cyclone has already received EPA and CARB emissions certification for generators any fuel 25 horsepower and under.

 

Our Operations. Our operations are also subject to numerous federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. We may be required to incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations in the future, and any failure to comply with such laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect upon our ability to do business.

 

Because of our work with the military, we have registered with the U.S. Department of State under its International Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR). We do not believe we develop, sell or export any covered munitions under these Regulations, but have registered the company in an abundance of precaution.

 

Employees. As of December 31, 2016, we had 6 full-time employees including management, and one part-time employee. We consider our relations with our employees to be good. None of our employees are covered under any labor union or collective bargaining agreement. As needed we contract with specialized labor and consultants to control costs.

Item 2. Properties

 

We currently operate in a 6,000 sf leased warehouse facility at an annual rate of $ 63,600. Our address is 601 NE 26th Ct., Pompano Beach, FL 33064. The lease expires Dec 2016, with a one (1) year option that contains a 2% rate increase in our rent. We believe these facilities are in good condition, but we still may need to expand our operating space further as our research and development efforts expand.

 

In September 2014, as part of the spinoff of the Q2 Power Inc. subsidiary (fka Cyclone WHE-Gen), Q2 Power, Inc. retained our Joint Operations and sublease agreement with Precision CNC. Q2 Power’s rent expense, prior to its spinoff, was $13,957 for approximately 2,500 sf of office and warehouse space at its new facility in Lancaster, Ohio.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

Effective May 8, 2015, the Company is subject to a default judgment in Dallas Texas of approximately $175,000 plus interest for non-payment of convertible debt and interest, attorney fees and court costs. The Company is negotiating a reduced settlement. Judgement entered in 160th District Court of Dallas county, Texas, Case No: DC-15-00829, on April 3, 2015, between the Company and JSJ Investments Inc. for default of convertible note.

 

In August 2015, the Company is subject to a default judgement $166,000 plus interest for non- payment of a convertable warrant true up. The Company is seeking to arrange a reduced settlement. Judgement entered in United States District Court of Utah, Central Division, case No: 215-cv-00536-PMW, on May 17, 2016, between the Company and Tonaquint Inc. for default of true up on a convertible warrant.

Forward Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other things:

 

  the ability to successfully complete commercialization of our technology;
     
  changes in existing and potential relationships with customers and collaborative partners;
     
  the ability to retain certain members of management;
     
  our expectations regarding general and administrative expenses;
     
  our expectations regarding cash availability and balances, capital requirements, anticipated revenue and expenses, including infrastructure and patent expenditures;
     
  other factors detailed from time to time in filings with the SEC.

 

In addition, in this registration, we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this registration. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this registration may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statement.

 

Overview

 

We are engaged in the research and development of all-fuel, eco-friendly engine technologies. Several prototypes of these engines are current beta tested, pre-production tested or nearing completion with 2 models currently in limited production . While we 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. For us to maintain and expand our operations through the next 12 months, we will seek license and development agreements that provide up-front or progress payment revenue to us. We will also will continue to pursue raising capital by means of equity or debt offerings.

 

In 2015, the TARDAC (S2) engine was delivered, on time, and accepted, by the U.S. Army. This contract was for approximately $1.4 million. We have licensed this S2 technology to FSDS, to take it to TRL9 for military compliance. We have received $150,000 with another $75,000 due on delivery for 2 S2 systems.

In 2017, with additional resources, our R&D team will also move towards completion of the Mark 5 project. This engine is to be delivered to Combilift for clean-burning material lift equipment, and used in our land speed record (LSR) streamliner to attempt a run for the fastest steam car on earth. With respect to the Combilift contract, we are forecasting an additional $300,000 in revenue from the delivery of two Mark 5 engines to this customer. We are also pursuing other R&D contracts that both support and build-off of these two engine programs, inclusive of marine power applications.

 

Financing Transactions.

 

In 2015, We financed our operations through funds generated from a $50,000 note payable and an increase in trade accounts payables, accrued liabilities and payables and debt to related parties of approximately $940,000.00.

 

In 2014, we financed our in 2014 through revenue generated from the final payment of the U.S. Army Contract, as well as multiple debt transactions, which are typically convertible into common stock at 30 - 44% discounts to market. None of these notes were secured or contained any warrants. Additionally, we received approximately $.5 million, from the Whe-Gen sale/license. Also, we incurred an increase in trade accounts payables , accrued liabilities and payables and debt to related parties of approximately $827,000.00.

 

Corporate Structural Actions. We will continue to take decisive steps to mature our structure and operations to attract funding from investors with long range horizons and strategic partners who can add value from multiple directions. This type of funding is different from the convertible notes we used to finance us over the last few years.

 

In the second quarter of 2015, to strengthening our balance and capital structure, management forgave a total of $1.36 million of deferred salaries and debt. This action was meant to reduce liabilities and demonstrate management’s strong faith in our future.

 

Stock for Services and Contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we amortized (based on vesting) $2,526 of common stock options for employee services.

 

Research & Development. We invest considerably in the development of our technology. Over the years, these investments have led to over 30 patents and substantial progress towards the commercialization of our engine technology. For 2015, our R&D expenses were $467,610.

 

Commitments for Capital and Operational Expenditures. Should additional funding be secured, we could increase the number of skilled and unskilled employees on payroll, including the recruitment of high level executive management and additional engineers and mechanical staff.

 

Critical Accounting Policies. Our financial statements 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 treatment 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 our business objectives and our engine products. Impairment is not currently reflective, as we are developing our products and obtaining new contracts based on these engine and associated technology patents.

 

10

 

We review inventory for engine manufacturing on an ongoing basis for obsolescence as engine designs are revised, with resultant charges to R&D.

 

For purposes of valuing stock based compensation, we use market prices of our common stock as of the time of issuance. We use the Black Scholes valuation method for valuing our stock based compensation from common stock options. This method requires us to make estimates and assumptions regarding stock prices, stock volatility, dividend yields, expected exercise term and risk-free interest rates.

 

Our audited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our 95% owned subsidiary, Cyclone Performance, and the activity through deconsolidation as of at September 30, 2014, of our former 74% owned subsidiary Q 2 power Inc. (fka Cyclone-WHE). We have eliminated all material inter-company transactions and balances in our consolidated financial statements. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States for financial information. In our management’s opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

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 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 effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements, and above in “Critical Accounting Policies”.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements at this time.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

 

Financial statements required by this Item 8 are included at the end of this report as listed on Item 15.

 

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Accounting Firm

 

On July 26,2016, we terminated the engagement of Mallah Furman & Company, P.A.(“MF”) as our independent registered accounting firm. This action effectively dismissed MF as our independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 and 2015. MF’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report included an explanatory paragraph relating to an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, since December 31, 2013, there have been no disagreements with MF on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to MF’s satisfaction, would have caused MF to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such periods.

 

Except as noted in this paragraph, since January 1, 2014, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation SK.

 

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Accounting Firm

 

On July 25, 2016, we appointed Anton & Chia,, LLP (A&C) as our new independent registered accounting firm with respect to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. In addition, we engaged A&C to review the quarterly financial statements of March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, and September 30, 2015.

 

Since July, 2016, neither us nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted A&C, with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation SK.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls

 

None.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President (Chief Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our financial disclosures, controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

A material weakness can be defined as an insufficiency of internal controls that may result in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement will not be prevented, detected or corrected in a company’s financial statements.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our President (Chief Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, based on the following deficiencies:

 

  - Weaknesses in Accounting and Finance Personnel: We have a small accounting staff and we do not have the robust employee resources and expertise needed to meet complex and intricate GAAP and SEC reporting requirements of a U.S. public company. Additionally, numerous adjustments and proposed adjustments have been noted by our auditors. This is deemed by management to be a material weakness in preparing financial statements.
     
  - We have written accounting policies and control procedures, but we do not have sufficient staff to implement the related controls. Management had determined that this lack of the implantation of segregation of duties, as required by our written procedures, represents a material weakness in our internal controls.
     
  - Internal control has as its core a basic tenant of segregation of duties. Due to our limited size and economic constraints, we are not able to segregate for control purposes various asset control and recording duties and functions to different employees. This lack of segregation of duties had been evaluated by management, and has been deemed to be a material control deficiency.

 

We have determined that the above internal control weaknesses and deficiencies could result in a reasonable possibility for interim financial statements that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our internal controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Procedures.

 

Management is currently evaluating what steps can be taken to address these material weaknesses. As a growing small business, we continuously devote resources to the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. Due to budget constraints, the staffing size, proficiency and specific expertise in the accounting department is below requirements for the operation. We are anticipating correcting deficiencies as funds become available.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Our Board of Directors (excluding any interested director) is charged with reviewing and approving all related-person transactions, and a special committee of our Board of Directors is established to negotiate the terms of such transactions. In considering related-person transactions, our Board of Directors considers all relevant available facts and circumstances.

 

We have an Operations Agreement dated July 2, 2007, with Schoell Marine, a company owned by Harry Schoell, providing office facility rental and equipment leasing, based upon cost and going market rates. At December 31, 2015, we owed to Schoell Marine $164,658, which is recorded as related party debt. The debt is callable at the discretion of Mr. Schoell. Through December 2015 we rented office space from Schoell Marine under this agreement at approximately $12.00/sf, which we believe to be at market rates.

 

As of December 31, 2015, we also had recorded $137,500 of accrued and deferred officer’s salaries to Mr. Schoell and Ms. Fruge, In 2014 $1,483,584 of previous deferred salary was converted to 18,544,800 shares of our common stock in 2014 and in 2015 $612,500 of deferred salary was forgiven. The accrued deferred salary can be paid to the officers if and when funds are available. These funds are accounted for as non-interest bearing notes due on demand.

 

In 2013, Mr. Schoell acquired a 5% equity stake in the Whe Gen subsidiary in exchange for 5 million shares of our common stock. In 2012, Mr. Schoell and Ms. Fruge each acquired a 2.5% equity interest in Cyclone Performance LLC for 1.5 million shares of our stock each.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits include examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also include assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in its stockholders’ deficit, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows from operations, and a stockholders’ deficit. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CYCLONE POWER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATIONAL AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “our,” “Cyclone”) is the successor entity to the business of Cyclone Technologies LLLP (the “LLLP”), a limited liability limited partnership formed in Florida in September 2004. The LLLP was the original developer and intellectual property holder of the Cyclone engine technology. The Company is primarily a research and development engineering company whose main purpose is to develop, commercialize, market and license its Cyclone engine technology.

 

In 2010, the Company established a subsidiary WHE Generation Corp. f/k/a, Cyclone-WHE LLC (the “WHE Subsidiary”, “WheGen”), to market the waste heat recovery systems for all Cyclone engine models. As of September 30, 2014 the Company has sold most of its ownership. The former subsidiary is currently non consolidated since the investment is below the 20% equity (see Note 15) .. In 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 various vehicles and vessels utilizing the Company’s engine. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had a 95% controlling interest in Cyclone Performance.

 

B. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 95% owned subsidiary Cyclone Performance. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Effective September 30, 2014, Cyclone sold most of its investment in the WHE Subsidiary and as of December 31, 2014 retains approximately a 2 million share non controlling (below 20%) interest in the WHE Subsidiary. This investment was deconsolidated on September 30, 2014 and is currently recorded on the cost basis (see Note 15). The consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31 2014 include the accounts of the WHE Gen through September 30, 2014.

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with account principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The accounting principles utilized by the Company 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 consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the periods. 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 inventory, identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, contracts, income taxes, derivative liabilities, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

The consolidated financial statements presented for the quarters ended March, June and September 31, 2015 are unaudited.

 

C. CASH

 

Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company maintained cash balances at one financial institution.

 

D. COMPUTATION OF INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (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 December 31, 2015 and 2014, total anti-dilutive shares amounted to approximately 13.5 million and 14.7 million shares, respectively.

 

F-6

 

E. INCOME TAXES

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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 December 31, 2015, 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 not recognized in the consolidated 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 2012 through 2015.

 

F. 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 method recognition are evaluated and allocated as appropriate. The Company has determined that the milestone method of revenue recognition (ASC 605-28) was appropriate for two of the Company’s contracts which specifically enumerate approved work effort milestones required for remuneration – the Company’s contract with the U.S. Army / TARDEC and the Amended and Restated Technology Application License Agreement with Phoenix Power Group LLC. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Final delivery of the U.S. Army contract was completed in the second quarter of 2014 and the Phoenix Power Group contract was transferred to the WHE subsidiary as part of the separation agreement (see Note 15). 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.

 

G. 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 sell in the future, warranty costs are anticipated to be borne by the manufacturing vendor.

H. 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.

 

I. 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 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 annual fair values and changing values of financial instruments as of January 1, 2014 through December 31 2014 and January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 is as follows:

 

Instrument  Beginning
of Period
   Change   End of
 Period
   Level   Valuation Methodology
                        
Derivative liabilities 2014  $484,479   $(44,295)  $440,184    3   Stochastic Process  Forecasting Model
                        
Derivative liabilities 2015  $440,184   $(56,706)  $383,482    3   Stochastic Process  Forecasting Model

 

Please refer to Note 17 for disclosure and assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

 

J. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development activities for product development are expensed as incurred. Costs for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $467,610 and $1,018,552, respectively.

 

K. 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.

 

L. 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 (“BSM option pricing model”) 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.

 

F-8

 

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”.

 

M. ORIGINAL ISSUE DEBT DISCOUNT

 

The original issue discount (OID) related to notes payable is 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.

 

N. 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.

 

O. 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.

 

P. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-05, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This provides guidance for companies to evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. This adoption has no impact on the financial reporting by the Company.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, or ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 amends current presentation guidance by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This was provide guidance to increase transparency and comparability among companies by requiring most leases be included on the balance sheet and by expanding disclosure requirements. We are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions and includes the recognition of the income tax effects of awards that vest or settle as income tax expense and clarification of the presentation of certain components of share-based awards in the statement of cash flows. We are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and the effective date of application is 2018.

 

F-9

 

ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Assets”, was issued by the FASB in November 2015, This required management to provide a classification of all deferred taxes as noncurrent assets or noncurrent liabilities. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Q. 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.

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company maintained its cash in one quality financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts through December 31,2015. 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.

 

R. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities were codified by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”). It requires that all derivatives be recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings or recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the purpose of the derivatives and whether they qualify and have been designated for hedge accounting treatment. The Company has derivative liabilities pursuant to convertible debt and common stock warrants, and has recognized net expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not have any derivative instruments for which it has applied hedge accounting treatment.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating and other losses and expenses of approximately $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, and $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The cumulative deficit since inception is approximately $58.7 million, which is comprised of $26.4 million attributable to actual operating losses (which were paid in cash, stock for services and other equity instruments) and net other expenses, and $32.3 million in non-cash derivative liability accounting which was a result of the conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in 2011, the retirement of a common stock purchase warrant in 2012, and the change in fair value of derivatives associated with notes payable for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015. The Company has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2015 of approximately $2.3 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.

 

F-10

 

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 debt, advance contract payments (deferred revenue) and advances from and deferred payments to related parties.

 

NOTE 3 – INVENTORY, NET

NOTE 10 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

A. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

 

Per the employment contracts with certain officers, the company issued 1,800,000 common stock options, valued at $405 (pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model) ) that are exercisable into shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $.0009 and with a maturity life of 10 years. For the years ended December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014 the amortization of stock options was $ 2,526 and $10,400, respectively. The unamortized balance at December 31 2015 was $1,232.

Expected dividend yield   0 %   0%
Average value per options and warrants   $ .0003 -$.0016     $ .001 - $ .017 

 

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

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, 2,508,692 warrants with an average exercise price of $.148 expired.

The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following:

 

Deferred Tax Assets  December 31,

Net Operating Loss Carry-forward  $

    9,028,107 
Valuation Allowance   (9,128,687)   (9,028,107)
Total Net Deferred Tax Assets  $-   $- 

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $21.4 million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2035. 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. The tax benefit for the periods presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from the operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

NOTE 17 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Pursuant to additional financing, in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company entered into convertible note agreements (subject to derivative accounting treatment) in the aggregate amounts of $0, and $855,800, respectively The conversion prices into common stock ranged from a discount of 30% to 45% of the lowest closing prices in the 10 to 20 trading days prior to the conversion. Under provisions of ASC Topic 815-40, this conversion feature triggered derivative accounting treatment because the convertible note was convertible into an indeterminable number of shares of common stock. The fair value of the embedded conversion option was required to be presented as a derivative liability and adjusted to fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operation.

 

The Company recorded derivative liabilities of $0 and $810,527 with a discount offset against the underlying loan, during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a $174,043 non-cash charge to interest expense (reflective of debt discount amortization), an increase of $0 in additional paid in capital pursuant to conversion of convertible notes to common stock, and a $56,702 of derivative gain related to adjusting the derivative liability to fair value.

At December 31, 2014, the derivative related fair value of debt was $440,184.

 

The Company calculates the estimated fair values of the liabilities for derivative instruments at each quarter-end using the BSM option pricing model and Stochastic Process Forecasting models (Monte Carlo simulations). Volatility, expected term and risk free interest rates used to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities are indicated in the table below. The volatility was based on historical volatility, the expected term is equal to the remaining term of the debt and the risk free rate is based upon rates for treasury securities with the same term.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 95% owned subsidiary Cyclone Performance. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 consolidated financial statements. We follow the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports as we do in our annual reports.

 

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. We suggest that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the above annual reports for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014

 

The accounting principles utilized by the Company 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the periods. 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 inventory, identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, contracts, income taxes, derivative liabilities, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating and other losses and expenses of approximately $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, and the cumulative deficit since inception to September 30, 2015 is approximately $ 58.4 million,. The Company has a working capital deficit at September 30, 2015 of approximately $2 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 condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans which include continuation of its business model to generate revenue from development contracts, licenses and product sales, and continuing to raise funds through debt and advances from strategic partners and deferred payments to related parties.

 

NOTE 2 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In June 2015, Company’s officers forgave $655,225 in accrued salaries and the Chairman of the Board forgave an additional $710,272 in accrued rent, interest and other expenses. These expenses are recorded as salary, rent, interest, etc. and the forgiveness is record as additional paid in capital. In addition, cumulatively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, related party debt, accounts payable, and accruals increased $379,208.
