Notes to Financial Statements

 

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) and the

Period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2005 (Unaudited)

 

1. Financial Statements

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the Period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2005, (b) the financial position at September 30, 2005, and (c) cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the period November 27, 2000 (date of inception) through September 30, 2005, have been made.

 

The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.

 

2. Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and since November 27, 2000 (date of inception) through September 30, 2005, the Company has had a net loss of $119,832, $790,190 and $4,095,352, respectively. As of September 30, 2005, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, recoverability of recorded furniture and equipment, and other asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

 

3. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Once the Company becomes operational it will be obligated to pay production royalties to Alpha at the rate of eight percent of net sales of the Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine. The minimum royalty amount is $250,000 per year, and the Company began accruing for the fee in February 2005. The royalty fee will be reduced by production royalties paid. The Company has accrued $166,667 in royalty fees as of September 30, 2005.

 

On September 25, 2001, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Vladan Ivankovic whereby Mr. Ivankovic would act as intermediary on the European Union market, with interested manufacturers of trucks and truck engines, as well as manufacturers of other engines for all possible purposes, in order to locate partners interested in buying the Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine license for production and distribution. Mr. Ivankovic will receive compensation in the amount of six percent of all equities raised by Mr. Ivankovic. In addition, for all mergers and acquisitions introduced to the Company, Mr. Ivankovic would receive payment based on a sliding scale starting at six percent of the first $25,000,000; five percent of the next $25,000,000; four percent of the next $25,000,000; and three percent of the remaining enterprise value. Mr. Ivankovic has been authorized to choose potential partners and to conduct negotiations on behalf of the Company. As of September 30, 2005, Mr. Ivankovic has not raised any funds nor has he located any partners or merger or acquisition targets for the Company.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) and the

Period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2005 (Unaudited)

 

3. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

On July 1, 2002, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with the inventor of the Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine and majority stockholder of Alpha. In connection with the license agreement, a $2,500 retainer per month is due for consulting services rendered.

 

This agreement was cancelled as of April 2005, however, the Company has accrued $62,500 and $47,500 for unpaid retainer fees as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the inventor $1,000 per day plus all out-of-pocket expenses for design and engineering services rendered. The inventor has no design or engineering services through September 30, 2005.

 

4. Prepaid Consulting Services Paid with Common Stock

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a CPA Firm to provide consulting services. In exchange for those services, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock to the accounting firm and 20,000 shares of common stock to the individual providng the consulting services. These shares were valued at $40,000 and $3,333 will be amortized to consulting expense over the next twelve months.

 

During three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company entered into a 5 year consulting agreement with US Capital Partners Inc. In exchange for this agreement, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $170,000 to be amortized through July 2010 at $2,833 per month.

 

5. Capital Stock

 

Effective August 10, 2005, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the total amount of authorized capital stock from 100,000,000 to 99,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 each and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 each. The rights and preferences of the preferred shares will be designated by the Board of Directors.

 

6. Private Placement Memorandom

 

Effective August 1, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with U.S. Capital Partners, Inc. (“U.S. Capital”) to assist the Company on a “best efforts” basis in raising approximately $2 million in a private offering of a convertible debt instrument. U.S. Capital is entitled to 8% of the total proceeds raised from the sale of a equity security, 4% of the total proceeds resulting from the sale of debt of the Company and a 1% non-accountable expense allowance. Upon the first closing, U.S. Capital will also receive 2% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at a price of $.01 per share. In the event the first closing is a partial close, U.S. Capital shares will be pro-rated and held in escrow until the final closing. The Company also agreed to cause the greater of two individuals or 30% of the number of directors to be elected to the board of directors for a period of 36 months from the close of the offering.

 

The Company is offering 16 units under a Private Placement Memorandum with an effective date of July 28, 2005. Each unit consists of 50,000 shares of convertible preferred stock and 50,000 stock purchase warrants for $75,000 per unit in order to raise $1,200,000 for working capital and to develop a prototype. Currently, no units have been sold. The preferred shares will yield an annual dividend of 10% payable in either cash or stock at the Company’s discretion. The Private Placement Memorandum is scheduled to terminate December 31, 2005.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

 

THIS FILING CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE WORDS “ANTICIPATED,” “BELIEVE,” “EXPECT,” “PLAN,” “INTEND,” “SEEK,” “ESTIMATE,” “PROJECT,” “WILL,” “COULD,” “MAY,” AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE STATEMENTS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, INFORMATION REGARDING FUTURE OPERATIONS, FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, AND FUTURE NET CASH FLOW. SUCH STATEMENTS REFLECT THE COMPANY’S CURRENT VIEWS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE EVENTS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, GENERAL ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS, CHANGES IN FOREIGN, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, REGULATORY INITIATIVES AND COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, THE ABILITY TO ACHIEVE FURTHER MARKET PENETRATION AND ADDITIONAL CUSTOMERS, AND VARIOUS OTHER MATTERS, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE COMPANY’S CONTROL. SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THESE RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES OCCUR, OR SHOULD UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE TO BE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY VARY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, OR OTHERWISE INDICATED. CONSEQUENTLY, ALL OF THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS FILING ARE QUALIFIED BY THESE CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS OR DEVELOPMENTS.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements including information about possible or assumed results of our financial conditions, operations, plans, objectives and performance that involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. For example, when we indicate that we expect to increase our product sales and potentially establish additional license relationships, these are forward-looking statements. The words expect, anticipate, estimate or similar expressions are also used to indicate forward-looking statements.

 

Background of Our Company

 

We are a development-stage company and not yet generating any revenues. Although we will not generate any revenues at this stage of our development, we intend to generate future revenues from the sale of engines and taking purchase orders from different trucking companies. This, however, will not happen during this stage of the Company’s development. We expect to continue the commercialization of our Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (“DCGT”) technology. The licensor of the acquired technology has passed the research and development phase and has designed a working prototype. We need to redesign an engine for our application based on this proven Core Technology. We are relying on Alpha to design, construct and test a 540 horsepower engine prototype for our licnesed application. Our primary focus is to complete the public offering of our securities for the purpose of funding initial stages of operations.

 

The financing for our development activities to date has come from the sale of common stock. We intend to finance our future development activities and working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with additional funding from a private placement or secondary offering of up to $10 million and other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

 

Since we have had a limited history of operations, we anticipate that our quarterly results of operations could fluctuate significantly for the foreseeable future. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied upon as predictive of

Table of Contents

future performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly companies commercializing new and evolving technologies such as the DCGT. In July 2002, we acquired the license for the DCGT technology for the manufacture and marketing of heavy-duty highway truck engines.

 

The following steps are required to demonstrate the viability of a final prototype engine:

 

Step 1

   Complete design and build prototype engine

Cost:

   $75,000

Status:

   Completed

Step 2

   Complete testing of engine

Cost:

   $385,000

Time frame:

   6 months from completion of Step 1

Step 3

   Lease of office and demonstration facilities

Cost:

   $48,000

 

Step 1 of this process has been completed by Alpha in connection with performing the design and construction of the prototype engine at their facilities at Deland Industrial Center, 1601 Old Daytona Street, Deland, FL 32724. In Step 2, we will also rely on Alpha to test the prototype engine at their facilities. Alpha will conduct test demonstrations to show the viability and function of the engine. In Step 3, we intend to lease our office and demonstration facilities. All of these steps are intended to be funded from the proceeds of the Private Placement Memorandum.

 

At this stage of our development, we have not developed a marketing plan to bring our product to market. No proceeds from the Private Placement Memorandum are being allocated to develop such a marketing plan and we are only focusing on completing this stage of our development. In the event we are unable to raise the funds from the Private Placement Memorandum, or future offerings, we will be unable to continue any business operations.

 

These initial steps are intended to be completed with the funds from a Private Placement Memorandum. Should we be unable to raise the funds from the Private Placement Memorandum, we may attempt a secondary offering or other form of debt financing which would have to be obtained in order to continue as a going concern.

 

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2004

 

Operating Costs – During the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, operating costs totaled $119,832 and $125,009, respectively. The decrease of $5,177 was attributable principally to a decrease in consulting expenses of $35,200 the write off of offering costs associated with the Private Placement Memorandum of $40,389 during 2004, net of the increase in royalty fees of $62,500 and professional fees of $5,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Interest Expense - Net - During the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 net interest expense totaled $0 and $24,147, respectively. The decrease of $24,147 was due to the conversion of the $250,000 note payable during February 2005.

 

The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2005 of $119,832 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004 of $149,156 decreased by $29,324. The decrease

in the net loss was mainly attributable to the write off of offering costs associated with the Private Placement Memorandum of $40,389 during 2004, the decrease in consulting expenses of $35,200, the decrease of interest expense of $24,147 net of the increase in royalty fees of $62,500 and the increase in professional fees of $5,000.

 

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004

 

Operating Costs – During the nine months ended Septmeber 30, 2005 and 2004, operating costs totaled $789,530 and $167,990, respectively. The increase of $621,540 was attributable principally to an increase of royalty fees of $166,667, an increase in consulting fees of $300,441, the write off of offering costs of $78,995 and an increase in professional fees of $83,282.

 

Interest Expense - Net - During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 net interest expense totaled $660 and $46,315, respectively. The decrease of $45,655 was due to the conversion of the $250,000 note payable issued during February 2005.

 

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $790,190 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $214,305 increased by $575,885. The increase in the net loss was mainly attributable to the write off of offering costs associated with the Private Placement Memorandum of $78,995, an increase in consulting fees of $300,441, royalty fees of $166,667 and professional fees of $83,282.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and since November 27, 2000 (date of inception) through September 30, 2005, the Company has had net losses of $119,832, $790,190 and $4,095,352, respectively. As of September 30, 2005, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, recoverability of recorded furniture and equipment shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

 

As previously mentioned, since inception, we have financed our operations largely from the sale of common stock. From inception through September 30, 2005 we raised cash of $273,889 net of issuance costs, through private placements of common stock financings and $62,250 through the issuance of convertible notes payable. During August, 2004 our Form SB-2 Registration Statement became effective and we raised an additional $123,753 through common stock sales, therefore, we offset $41,378 of offering costs against those proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of this common stock have been used for general and administrative expenses.

 

As of May 25, 2005, the Form SB-2 offering has been closed and the remaining deferred offering costs of $128,115 were written off and included in the Statement of Operations. Currently, the Company is offering 16 units under a Private Placement Memorandum with an effective date of July 28, 2005. Each unit consists of 50,000 shares of convertible stock and 50,000 stock purchase warrants for $75,000 per unit in order to raise $1,200,000 for working capital and prototype development. As of September 30, 2005, no units have been sold. The preferred share will yield an annual dividened of 10% payable in either cash or stock at the Company’s discretion. The Private Placement Memorandum is scheduled to terminate December 31, 2005.

Table of Contents

Since our inception through September 30, 2005 we have incurred approximately $4,030,360 of research and development costs and operating expenses. These expenses were principally related to the acquisition of a license agreement in July 2002 in the amount of $2,735,300, which was expensed to research and development costs for the DCGT technology and general and administrative expenses.

 

We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $4,095,352 and a working capital deficit of $411,254.

 

We anticipate that cash used in product development and operations, especially in the marketing, production and sale of our products, will increase significantly in the future.

 

We will be dependent upon our existing cash, together with anticipated net proceeds from future debt issuances, a secondary offering, or potential license fees to finance our planned operations through the next 12 months. Without receiving proceeds from the Private Placement Memorandum we can satisfy our current cash requirements for approximately nine months. We will continue to proceed in the design and testing phase of the DCGT engine during the next 12 months and will require additional funding to continue operations. Also, with proceeds from the Private Placement Memorandum, we intend to secure a demonstration facility. Based on our anticipated growth, we plan to add several employees to our staff. The level of employees is primarily contingent on the level of success of the Private Placement Memorandum.

 

Additional capital may not be available when required or on favorable terms. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to significantly reduce or refocus our operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain or potential markets, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in ownership dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and 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.

 

We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value, due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of the note payable approximates its fair value due to the use of market rates of interest.

 

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a declining balance and straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally five to seven years. Accelerated methods are used for tax depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When furniture and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Table of Contents

The Company has incurred deferred offering costs in connection with raising additional capital through the sale of its common stock. These costs have been capitalized and charged against additional paid-in capital when the common stock is issued. If there is no issuance of common stock, the costs incurred are charged to operations.

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.

 

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely identify, correct and disclose information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. Through the use of external consultants and the audit process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.

 

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or, to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the evaluation date.

 

Certification by each Director and Executive Officer has been executed.
