NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

Solaris Power Cells, Inc. (formerly Rolling Technologies, Inc.) (“Solaris” and the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on July 27, 2007.

 

The Company is developing a renewable energy storage device to market to residential and commercial industrial users. Solaris currently has developed a prototype of our Solaris Power Cell.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements of Solaris Power Cells have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K have been omitted.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives, 3 to 5 years, using the straight-line method of depreciation for book purposes. As of June 30, 2015, property and equipment consisted of the following:

 

   June 30, 2015   December 31, 2014 
         
Office equipment  $9,894   $9,894 
Furniture and fixtures   20,272    20,272 
Computer equipment   5,488    5,488 
Software   4,477    4,477 
    40,131    40,131 
Less: accumulated depreciation   (18,713)   (13,376)
Property and equipment, net  $21,418   $26,755 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a depreciation expense of $5,337 and $5,822, respectively.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $996,490, which included a deduction for derivative expense of $185,933, consulting expense of $794,710 and as of the same date has an accumulated deficit of $5,644,744.  If the Company is unable to generate profits and is unable to continue to obtain financing for its working capital requirements, it may have to curtail its business sharply or cease business altogether.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is taking certain steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included, but are not limited to: 1) focus on sales to minimize the need for capital at this stage; 2) converting part of the outstanding accounts payable to equity; 3) raising equity financing; 4) continuous focus on reductions in cost where possible.

 

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

The Company entered into a convertible note agreement on September 2, 2014 for $500,000. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company shall receive $450,000 against the $500,000 note, after the original issue discount of $50,000. The Maturity Date of the note is 2 years from the date of each advance. The Lender has the right, at any time after the advance, at its election, to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal sum and accrued interest (and any other fees) into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company as per the conversion formula. The conversion price is the lesser of $0.26 or 60% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion. If the Company does not repay on or before 90 days from the date of advance, a one-time interest charge of 12% shall be applied to the principal sum. The Lender advanced $50,000 at the closing of note. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the original issue discount amounted to $5,556. Since, the note did not have a conventional conversion feature and had a variable conversion price indexed to the market price, the conversion feature was separately valued and was recorded as a derivative liability. The Company issued 3,477,098 shares from March 5, 2015 to June 22, 2015 for the full conversion of the note. The Company fully amortized the original issue discount of $5,556 and removed the related derivative liability of $114,143, on the conversion of the note.

 

On February 25, 2015, the lender advanced another $30,000 against the same note. The Company recorded an interest and original issue discount of $7,333 which is being amortized over the term of the note of 2 years from the date of advance. The Company calculated an initial derivative liability on the note of $211,197. Of this value, $30,000 was recorded as debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the note. The balance amount of $181,197 was recorded as derivative liability. This derivative liability was revalued and on June 30, 2015, the fair value of the derivative liability was $66,153. The change in derivative liability was charged to the income statement. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company amortized $5,137 of debt discount and $1,256 of the original issue discount and interest.

 

On May 26, 2015, the Company entered into another convertible note agreement for $110,000. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company shall receive $100,000 against the $110,000 note, after the original issue discount of $10,000. The Maturity Date of the note is May 26, 2016. The lender has the right, at any time after 90 days of the advance, at its election, to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal sum and accrued interest (and any other fees) into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company as per the conversion formula. The conversion price is 40% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days immediately preceding the issuance date or 40% of lowest trading price during 25 days immediately prior to the conversion. A one-time Interest charge of 10% shall be applied to the principal sum. Since the note is not convertible until August 26, 2015, the Company did not record any conversion feature on the note.

 

The Company entered into another convertible note agreement on June 9, 2015 for $250,000. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company shall receive $225,000 against the $250,000 note, after the original issue discount of $25,000. The maturity date of the note is 2 years from the date of each advance. The lender has the right, at any time after the advance, at its election, to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal sum and accrued interest (and any other fees) into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company as per the conversion formula. The conversion price is the lesser of $0.05 or 55% of lowest trading price during 25 days immediately preceding the conversion date. A one-time Interest charge of 12% shall be applied to the principal sum. The lender advanced $50,000 at the closing of note. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the original issue discount amounted to $5,556. Since, the note did not have a conventional conversion feature and had a variable conversion price indexed to the market price, the conversion feature was separately valued and was recorded as a derivative liability. The Company calculated an initial derivative liability on the note of $168,325. Of this value, $50,000 was recorded as debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the note. The balance amount of $118,325 was recorded as derivative liability. This derivative liability was revalued and on June 30, 2015, the fair value of the derivative liability was $145,619. The change in derivative liability was charged to the income statement. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company amortized $1,438 of debt discount and $334 of the original issue discount and interest.

Corporate Overview

 

We were formed as a Nevada corporation, “Rolling Technologies, Inc.” on July 27, 2007. On August 12, 2013, we changed our name to Solaris Power Cells, Inc. Effective August 12, 2013, we effected a 24 for 1 forward stock split of our authorized, and issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Our authorized common stock increased from 90,000,000 shares of common stock to 2,160,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

We are developing a renewable energy storage device, known as a “passive electron storage array”, to market to residential and commercial industrial users. We currently have developed a prototype of our Solaris Power Cell, which is a 100% lead-free, solid state digital storage device. Our device provides a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) that creates an intelligent power cell creating digital energy storage solution capable of providing energy storage to applications normally reliant and equipped with highly toxic lead acid, nickel metal hydride batteries. Our products can use any renewable or non-renewable energy source including sun, wind, water, motion or thermal to provide the energy to be stored. To date we do not have any sales contracts.

 

Our system stores DC energy at a rate limited only by the network feeding it, as it has efficiencies reaching 98%. Our product design allows for mass production and we anticipate it will compete head on with lead acid batteries.

 

Off-grid lithium-ion and other battery types currently used in energy storage is limited in the flow of energy that can be accepted and stored at any given time and suffer from deficiencies such as short-life-cycles and are a hazardous waste product. In a typical battery, only a percentage of the energy sent to the battery is accepted; the balance is wasted. Our product is anticipated to accept close to 100% of its storage capacity very quickly because our charging process is only limited by the network, and not our technology.

 

A normal battery can take hours to recharge, whereas our product can recharge in significantly less time compared to similar voltage storage capacity. A typical battery has a lifespan of 400-500 charge/discharge cycles, whereas our product can have 1,000,000 charge/discharge cycles.

 

Solar panel manufacturers and other energy providers are working to maximize the amount of electrical power they can generate, but they are losing that power to poor battery performance. We hope we can provide a better solution to those manufactures for use by the end users, and into new markets.

 

We incorporate and implement a digital balancing design to insure the proper voltage is maintained on each power cell, thus making each cell smart. The energy is available to the regulator circuits that will regulate the output current and voltage. The capacity of the storage transfer rate is not limited in voltage or current and is controlled by our intelligent power controller and can be configured per application. The output of regulator section can be greater or less than the input voltage provided by the power cell. The output from the power cell system is regulated AC or DC power provided to the connected electrical systems.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

 

Revenues

 

We have limited operational history. We do not anticipate earning adequate revenues until we procure additional financing to manufacture and market our products. There is no assurance that we will earn adequate revenues or amounts that will enable us to continue as a going concern. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, we generated $24,497 and $30,110 from the sale of inventory and experimental items.

 

Expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30. 2015 and 2014 were $412,834 which included consulting fees paid through the issuance of capital stock valued at $344,110 compared to $291,570 which included $90,033 of professional fees for the same three months in 2014 and $920,645 which included consulting fees paid through the issuance of capital stock valued at $794,700 compared to $604,976 which included $213,615 of professional fees for the same six months in 2014.

 

Our expenses increased as a result of the addition of several consultants whose expertise is required to develop our products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working Capital as at June 30, 2015

 

   As of    As of  
   June 30, 2015    December 31, 2014  
Current Assets  $139,656   $65,580 
Current Liabilities  $(414,611)  $(244,613)
Working Capital (Deficiency)  $(274,955)  $(179,033)

 

Our working capital deficiency increased from a deficiency of $179,033 to a working capital deficiency of $274,955 primarily as a result of continued operational costs, additional stock based payroll costs and ongoing research and development.

 

We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue in the foreseeable future. We require funds to enable us to address our minimum current and ongoing expenses.

 

Cash Flows

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we used net cash in operating activities in the amount of $181,674 compared to $455,987 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The reduction in cash used in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same six months in 2014, was primarily due to the reduction of cash paid for expenses associated with research and development, advertising, marketing, accounting, legal and wages.

 

Our cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to $255,750 from $400,000 as the result of normal timing differences in the process of raising funds.

 

No cash was used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $4,480 during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Going Concern

 

We anticipate that our cash on hand will not be sufficient to satisfy all of our cash requirements for the next twelve month period. We currently do not have committed sources of additional financing and may not be able to obtain additional financing, particularly, if the volatile conditions in the stock and financial markets persist. If we require any additional financing, we plan to raise any such additional capital primarily through equity financing and loans from our directors, provided that such funding continues to be available to our company. We plan to continue to seek additional funds from our directors to fund our day-to-day operations until equity financing can be pursued. We have no guarantee that our directors will continue to fund our day-today operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by our company may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing as required on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet certain obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

 

Future Financings

 

We will require additional financing to fund our planned operations, including further development, regulatory requirements, and commercializing our existing assets. We currently do not have committed sources of additional financing and may not be able to obtain additional financing, particularly, if the volatile conditions in the stock and financial markets, and more particularly, the market for early development stage company stocks persist.

 

There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to delay or scale down some or all of our development activities or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

 

5
 

 

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through equity and debt financings and we expect that we will continue to fund our operations through the equity and debt financing. If we raise additional financing by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

 

There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his, her, or its investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Risks Associated with our Business

 

We will encounter manufacturing risks and may face product liability claims.

 

Our manufacture and sale of battery systems may expose us to significant risk of product liability claims. We may obtain product liability insurance, but such coverage may be inadequate to protect us from any liabilities we may incur, or we may not be able to maintain adequate product liability insurance at acceptable rates. If a product liability claim or series of claims were brought against us for uninsured liabilities or for amounts in excess of insurance coverage, and it is ultimately determined that we are liable, we may be liable to pay the claim, which could exceed the resources available to us. In addition, we could experience some material design or manufacturing failure, a quality system failure, other safety issues or heightened regulatory scrutiny that may warrant a recall of our products. A recall of any of our products could also result in increased product liability claims and damage to our reputation.

 

Since we lack a meaningful operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business.

 

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. We are subject to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications and delays inherent in a new business. Investors should evaluate an investment in us in light of the uncertainties encountered by new companies in an intensely competitive industry. Our business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan, as well as our ability to enter into agreements with third parties for, among other things, the manufacturing of our products on commercially favorable terms. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will be able to attain profitability.

 

We may not be able to achieve commercialization of any products on the timetable we anticipate, or at all.

 

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to continue to develop commercially viable battery systems on the timetable we anticipate, or at all. The continued commercialization of our battery system requires substantial technological advances to improve the efficiency, functionality, durability, reliability, cost and performance of these products and to develop commercial volume manufacturing processes for our future products. Developing our technology may require substantial capital, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to generate or secure sufficient funding on acceptable terms to pursue commercialization plans on a larger scale. In addition, before any product can be released to market, it must be subjected to numerous field tests. These field tests may encounter problems and delays for a number of reasons, many of which are beyond our control. If these field tests reveal technical defects or reveal that our potential products do not meet performance goals, including useful life, reliability, and durability, our commercialization schedule could be delayed, and potential purchasers may decline to purchase future systems and products.

 

The commercialization of our battery systems also may depend on our ability to significantly reduce the costs of future systems and products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sufficiently reduce the cost of these products versus existing technologies without reducing performance, reliability and durability, which would adversely affect consumers’ willingness to buy future products.

 

6
 

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully execute our business plan.

 

The execution of our business plan poses many challenges and is based on a number of assumptions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to execute our business plan. Narrowing the scope of our development activities may not accelerate product commercialization. If we experience significant cost overruns on any of our product development programs, or if our business plan is more costly than anticipated, certain research and development activities may be delayed or eliminated, resulting in changes or delays to our commercialization plans.

 

Potential fluctuations in our financial and business results makes forecasting difficult and may restrict our access to funding for our commercialization plan.

 

We expect our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and even year to year. As a result, quarter to quarter or year to year comparisons of these operating results are not expected to be meaningful. Due to our business’ stage of development, it is difficult to predict potential future revenues, if any, or results of operations accurately. It is likely that in one or more future quarters our operating results will fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, if any, who follow our Company. In addition, investors or security analysts may misunderstand our business decisions or have expectations that are inconsistent with our business plan. This may result in our business activities not meeting their expectations. Not meeting investor or security analyst expectations may materially and adversely impact the trading price of our common shares, and increase the cost and restrict our ability to secure required funding to pursue our commercialization plans.

 

A mass market for our products may never develop or may take longer to develop than we anticipate.

 

We do not know whether end-users will want to use our products. The development of a mass market for our battery system may be affected by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the emergence of newer, more competitive technologies and products, the future cost of raw materials used by our systems, regulatory requirements, consumer perceptions of the safety of any developed products and consumer reluctance to buy a new product.

 

If a mass market fails to develop or develops more slowly than anticipated, we may be unable to recover the losses it will have incurred in the development of our current and potential future products and may never achieve profitability. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to develop, manufacture or market any products if sales levels do not support the continuation of those products.

 

Regulatory changes could hurt the market for our products.

 

Changes in existing government regulations and the emergence of new regulations with respect to our products may hurt the market for our future products. Environmental laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries have driven interest in alternate energy systems. We cannot guarantee that these laws and policies will not change. Changes in these laws and other laws and policies or the failure of these laws and policies to become more widespread could result in consumers abandoning their interest in our products in favor of alternative technologies. In addition, as alternative energy products are introduced into the market, the governments in countries we intend to market our products may impose burdensome requirements and restrictions on the use of these technologies that could reduce or eliminate demand for some or all of our potential products.

 

If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, competitors may be able to use our technology, which could weaken our competitive position, eliminate the potential for future revenue and increase costs.

 

We believe that our long-term success will depend to a large degree on our ability to protect the proprietary technology that we have developed or any other technology that we may develop or acquire in the future. Although we intend to aggressively pursue anyone we reasonably believe is infringing upon our intellectual property rights, initiating and maintaining suits against third parties that may infringe upon those intellectual property rights will require substantial financial resources. In addition, significant financial resources could be required to defend against any suits brought against us claiming our infringement of others’ intellectual property rights. We may not have the financial resources to bring or defend such suits, and if such suits emerge, we may not prevail. Regardless of our success in any such actions, we could incur significant expenses in connection with such suits.

 

7
 

 

Failure to protect any intellectual property rights could seriously harm our business and prospects because we believe that developing new systems and products that are unique to us is critical to our success. We will rely on patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law to protect our intellectual property. However, some of the intellectual property may not be covered by any patent or patent application, and certain patents will eventually expire. We cannot assure that any present or future issued patents will protect the technology. Moreover, our patent position is subject to complex factual and legal issues that may give rise to uncertainty as to the validity, scope and enforceability of a particular patent. Accordingly, there is no assurance that:

 

  any of the patents or patent applications developed, acquired or licensed by us will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, or rendered unenforceable; or
     
  any potential future patent applications will be issued with the breadth of claim coverage sought by us, if issued at all.

 

In addition, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain countries.

 

We may also seek to protect any proprietary intellectual property, including intellectual property that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, inventors’ rights agreements with strategic partners and employees. We can provide no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons or institutions will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of these relationships.

 

Future intellectual property may be acquired without typical representations and warranties. If necessary or desirable, we may seek further licenses under the patents or other intellectual property rights of others. However, we can give no assurances that we will obtain such licenses or that the terms of any offered licenses will be acceptable to us. The failure to obtain a license from a third party for intellectual property we use could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the development, manufacture or shipment of products or our use of processes requiring the use of such intellectual property.

 

We may be involved in intellectual property litigation that causes us to incur significant expenses or prevents us from selling any developed products.

 

We may become subject to lawsuits in which it is alleged that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others or commence lawsuits against others who we believe are infringing upon our rights. Involvement in intellectual property litigation could result in significant expense, adversely affecting the development of the challenged product or intellectual property and diverting the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in its favor. In the event of an adverse outcome as a defendant in any such litigation, we may, among other things, be required to:

 

  pay substantial damages;
     
  cease the development, manufacture, use, sale or importation of any developed products that infringe upon other patented intellectual property;
     
  expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property;
     
  discontinue processes incorporating infringing technology; or
     
  obtain licenses to the infringing intellectual property.

 

We can provide no assurance that we would be successful in such development or acquisition, or that such licenses would be available upon reasonable terms. Any such development, acquisition or license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

We will face significant competition.

 

As alternative energy technologies have the potential to replace existing power products, competition for those products will come from current power technologies, from improvements to current power technologies, and from new alternative power technologies, including other types of alternative energy technologies. Each of our target markets is currently serviced by existing manufacturers with existing customers and suppliers. These manufacturers use proven and widely accepted technologies.

 

Additionally, there are competitors working on developing other technologies related to our system, such as advanced lithium-ion batteries and battery/fuel cell hybrids in each of our targeted markets. Some of these technologies are as capable of fulfilling existing and proposed regulatory requirements as our technology.

 

There are many different individuals, institutions and companies across the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan, including corporations, national laboratories and universities that are actively engaged in the development and manufacture of alternative energy technologies. Each of these competitors has the potential to capture market share in any of our future target markets.

 

Many of these competitors have substantial financial resources, customer bases, strategic alliances, manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities, and businesses or other resources which give them significant competitive advantages over our company.

 

The loss of the services of certain key employees, or the failure to attract additional key individuals, would materially adversely affect our business.

 

Our success will depend on the continued services of certain technology development and marketing personnel. In addition, our success depends in large part on our ability in the future to attract and retain key management, engineering, scientific, manufacturing and operating personnel. Recruiting personnel for the alternative energy industries is highly competitive. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to attract and retain qualified executive, managerial and technical personnel needed for the development of potential products business. Our failure to attract or retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business. Liquidity issues, discussed earlier, could severely impact our ability to attract qualified key personnel or retain existing personnel.

 

New legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it more difficult for us to retain or attract officers and directors.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with recent accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We continue to evaluate and monitor developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 

Risks Associated with our Financial Condition

 

Because our auditor has issued a going concern opinion regarding our company, there is an increased risk associated with an investment in our company.

 

We have incurred cumulative net losses of $5,215,735 since July 27, 2007. We have not attained profitable operations. As of March 31, 2015 we had cash in the amount of $99,575. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing or upon future profitable operations. We reserve the right to seek additional funds through private placements of our common stock and/or through debt financing. Our ability to raise additional financing is unknown. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the advancement or loan of funds. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern. As a result, there is an increased risk that you could lose the entire amount of your investment in our company.

Risks Related to Our Securities

 

If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

 

A market for our common stock may never develop. We are listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board but have limited trading. A public market may not materialize. If a public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment.

 

If we issue shares of preferred stock with superior rights than the common stock, it could result in the decrease the value of our common stock and delay or prevent a change in control of us.

 

Our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, voting rights, redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any series of preferred stock. The issuance of any shares of preferred stock having rights superior to those of the common stock may result in a decrease in the value or market price of the common stock. Holders of preferred stock may have the right to receive dividends, certain preferences in liquidation and conversion rights. The issuance of preferred stock could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us without further vote or action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.

 

If a public market for our common stock develops, short selling could increase the volatility of our stock price.

 

Short selling occurs when a person sells shares of stock which the person does not yet own and promises to buy stock in the future to cover the sale. The general objective of the person selling the shares short is to make a profit by buying the shares later, at a lower price, to cover the sale. Significant amounts of short selling, or the perception that a significant amount of short sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock. In contrast, purchases to cover a short position may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on over-the-counter bulletin board or any other available markets or exchanges. Such short selling, if it were to occur, could impact the value of our stock in an extreme and volatile manner to the detriment of our shareholders.

 

Because we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including, but not limited to, our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their own common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

 

Because we will be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be limited.

 

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

We will be required to remain current in our filings with the SEC and our securities will not be eligible for quotation on the over-the-counter bulletin board if we are not current in our filings with the SEC.

 

In the event that our shares are quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board, we will be required order to remain current in our filings with the SEC in order for shares of our common stock to be eligible for quotation on the over-the-counter bulletin board. In the event that we become delinquent in our required filings with the SEC, quotation of our common stock will be terminated following a 30 day grace period if we do not make our required filing during that time. If our shares are not eligible for quotation on the over-the-counter bulletin board, investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, our management believes that no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
