Overview
 
Evolucia Inc. (“Evolucia”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”) was formed in 2007 through a reverse merger whereby the Company acquired Sun Energy Solar, Inc., our accounting predecessor. Evolucia is in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures. Prior to 2011, the Company also developed energy-efficient technologies in solar energy and infrared. As discussed below, the Company has exited the solar and infrared businesses. The Company’s solar subsidiary, Sunovia Solar, Inc. has not had operations since June 2010 and is not anticipated to have operations in the foreseeable future.

LED Lighting
 
LED lights are the most energy-efficient lighting source on the market today. Through our patented Aimed LED Lighting™ technology, we have demonstrated that less overall light is needed if the light is correctly focused on the target area. We have identified an immediate opportunity, particularly in the outdoor lighting market, to supply high quality energy-efficient lighting solutions through our patented technology.  We have developed several LED lighting products, primarily for the outdoor lighting industry, that utilize our Aimed Optics™ technology that we sell directly to customers and through a network of manufacturer’s representatives in the U.S. and other countries. In addition, the Company has other lighting products that do not utilize the Aimed Optics™ technology that complement the Company’s portfolio and provide lighting solutions for other areas, such as parking garages. We continue to develop and refine our products to serve the market and are actively pursuing alliances and strategies that will allow us to drive down the production cost of our products.
 
 
Our LED lighting product’s are currently focused on (i) the roadway / walkway lighting market (“cobra head,” “shoebox”, “post-top” and “bell-top” products) (ii) the area lighting market (utility lights, wall packs, canopy lights and parking garage lights) and (iii), commercial indoor market (“high-bay”, “troffer”, and “flat panel” products). A report issued in January 2011 by Navigant Consulting, Inc. prepared for the Building Technologies Program of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) of the Department of Energy estimates that there are 56.2 million roadway lights in the United States, including 26.5 million street lights and 26.1 million highway lights. The same report estimates approximately36.4 million parking garage lights and 15.8 million parking lot light fixtures installed in the United States. It is estimated that fewer than 5% of the parking light totals and fewer than 1% of the roadway and highway lights utilized LED technology. We believe these markets, which are primary markets for the Company’s products, have the potential for significant growth in LED replacements of existing technologies in the years ahead. We believe traditional lighting companies have been somewhat slow to develop LED technologies; however, the large lighting companies have acquired the technology either through acquisition or OEM and licensing arrangements with smaller LED lighting companies. There are currently over 200 competitors in the outdoor LED lighting market. Our Aimed Optics™ technology potentially provides a competitive advantage in this market, as it uses less energy to put more light on the ground, although high product costs have hampered sales of the cobrahead and shoebox products in certain markets.

The Company completed the basic design for most of its products in 2009. However, the improvement in LED performance and the competitive pressures in the lighting industry drive the need to update product designs and performance in order to remain competitive. Also, in order for LED lighting to be fully competitive with traditional lighting, the cost of the products, which are currently higher than comparable traditional lighting fixtures must be competitive as well. This will require reductions in product cost through component price reductions and increasing manufacturing efficiencies. We anticipate that this cycle of modifications in product design to these ends will continue and the timeframes for developing new products will be compressed as competition in the industry grows.

The three most significant challenges facing the Company in the LED lighting market are (a) developing a recognizable brand name, (b) expanding our distribution network, and (c) driving down the cost of manufacturing and selling our products. Each of these issues is a priority for the Company at this time and going forward. In addition, as the LED lighting market continues to expand, the distribution efficiencies of the lighting market are likely to drive industry consolidation and product portfolio expansion as fixture companies compete for business across product lines.

LED Lighting Products

The Company currently produces and sells several products that provide LED lighting solutions for roadways and walkways, parking lots and garages and other area lighting solutions. In several product categories, the Company offers a number of standard products and will manufacture non-standard products of similar designs on a case-by-case basis. The Company’s standard product offerings are described in more detail below.

 Roadway Lighting Products

The Company offers the following standard products for roadway lighting:
 
(i)  
Cobra Head lights in 55-, 80- and 100-watt configurations and Type I, II and III distributions;
 
(ii)  
120- and 150-watt Shoebox lights, Type II and Type III;
 
(iii)  
A 21” and a 28” decorative “Fairview “ light, a bell-shaped design that derived its name from the first installation in which it was used in Fairview, Texas; and
 
(iv)  
a 60-watt decorative “Post Top” retrofit light.
 
Cobra head

Our cobra head utilizes our Aimed Optics™ technology, which is subject to a pending patent application in the U.S. and certain foreign patent applications as well.  In 2011, our Cobra Head SCHX5 earned the award for Best Outdoor Street Light, in its class, by the U.S. Department of Energy, the International Association of Lighting Designers and the Illuminating Engineering Society in the 2010 Next Generation Luminaires™ Solid State Lighting Design Competition. The SCHX5 outperformed its competition with an industry-high Fitted Target Efficacy score of 57 putting the most footcandles on the ground, in the pattern required, with the best uniformity, using the fewest LEDs and the least power consumed. The FTE was developed by the Department of Energy for evaluating ENERGY STAR® outdoor roadway luminaire light performance. Evolucia’s SCHX5 LED was the only outdoor roadway/ parking luminaire in that category recognized with an award. In addition, the SCHX5 LED was selected to be a product that the judging panel would recommend to lighting specifiers.

The cobra head is the most common streetlight in the United States, with 12.5 million installed annually in the U.S., and an estimated 40 million internationally.

 
 
The Company’s cobra head products replace/retrofit existing cobra head installations without the need to move utility poles or change existing infrastructure, so customers can cost-effectively upgrade with minimal change to existing hardware.
 
Shoebox

The Shoebox utilizes the same Aimed Optics™ technology as the cobra head with a different housing.

Decorative “Fairview Bell” and “Post Top” Walkway Lights

The Company has developed two decorative LED lights, (i) the Fairview “Bell Top” light currently installed in the Company’s Fairview, TX installation and (ii) a “Post Top” version. In April 2009, the Company completed Phase I of its LED lighting installation in Fairview, TX. The Company designed the entire lighting system, including the spacing and height of the light poles, specifically for the four-lane Fairview Parkway and it features 82 Evolucia lights.

The lights installed in the Fairview Roadway installation are designed predominately for walkways in municipalities and campuses. The Fairview lights are available in 48W or 225W configurations and replace 150W or 400W MH or HPS lamps, respectively. The Fairview luminaires utilize Evolucia’s Aimed Optics™ technology, and focus light through individually aimed lenses for uniform, targeted light. The Fairview “Bell Top” uses up to 60% less energy and the decorative “Post Top” uses up to 75% less energy than existing lights, and both are maintenance free for over 50,000 hours.
 
Parking Garage Lights (PS14)

This market has approximately 3.1 million parking lot/garage lighting fixtures, (per the U.S. Dept of Energy 2008 Study titled “Energy Savings Estimates of Light Emitting Diodes – Niche Lighting Applications”) of which we estimate 500,000 are replaced each year and has a market size of $100 million annually in the United States. Evolucia’s first fixture in this area, the PS14, comes in 60- and 90- watt configurations and is designed to replace 175-watt MH and 150-watt HPS lights.
 
Utility Lights and Canopy Lights

Our Utility Light (UTL-1), used for illuminating sidewalks, pathways, landscaping, storage areas, flag poles, statues, signs and monuments, is available in 15- and 24- watt configurations, use up to 75% less electricity than incandescent, quartz or metal halide fixtures and will be maintenance free for more than 10 years.

The Company’s Canopy Light (CAN12), used for lighting exteriors, entryways, breezeways, walkways, perimeters, parking garages, storage areas and industrial / commercial spaces is available in 36- and 50-watt configurations, and is designed to replace 175 watt MH and 150 watt HPS lights.
 
Additional Products

Our LP3 Light Pack, designed for corridors, closets, cabinets, attics and residential garages, has been redesigned to come in 15- and 30-watt configurations and replace 75-watt incandescent fixtures with a 75% increase in efficiency, a significant increase in life expectancy and no maintenance for up to 15 years.

Leader Electronics

The Company’s high volume production is performed by Leader Electronics (“LEI”), a Taiwanese company whose production facilities are in China.
 
Pursuant to the agreement - LEI will (i) collaborate in the next generation design of the Products, (ii) design and implement LEI power supplies into the Products as provided in the Specifications, (iii) invested One Million Dollars (US $1,000,000) into the Company, (iv) lease for the Company’s use equipment representing a value of Two Million Dollars (US $2,000,000) which will include manufacturing, test and product equipment and tooling mentioned below to be more specifically identified by the parties, (v) manufacture the Products (A) at a 10% discount to the market rate against non-cancellable purchase orders from the Company for one year following the initial purchase orders and thereafter at a 5% discount to the market rate until a full Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) in discounts have been earned by the Company and (B) provide working capital to manufacturing all Products with net payment terms of 45 days, (vi) LEI will acquire all needed tooling, and (vii) serve as an exclusive distributor for the Asia Territory.
 
In addition, the Company will (i) appoint LEI as the exclusive manufacturer for the Products sold in the Asia Territory, (ii) appoint LEI as an exclusive distributor for the Asia Territory and (iii) provide non-cancellable and irrevocable stand-by Letter of Credit for beneficiary of LEI prior to the shipment of Product or provide payment for the Product prior to shipment.
 
LEI purchased Twelve Million Five Hundred (12,500,000) shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of One Million Dollars  (US $1,000,000).  In the event the Company does not place orders for the Products within five (5) years from the Effective Date (the “Order Date”), then LEI shall be entitled to sell to the Company the lesser of (i) Shares it has not resold as of the Order Date or (ii) the portion of Shares representing the amount of Products that the Company has not ordered.  For example, in the event the Company has placed orders for 80% of the Products, then LEI will be entitled to sell back to the Company as of the Order Date the lesser of the number of Shares that have not been resold by LEI or 20% of the Shares. The per share price was $0.08. LEI invested the $1,000,000 on July 20, 2012 and this investment has been classified as a liability in the Company’s financial statements because of the contingency related to the share repurchase agreement.
 
Distribution Channels

The Company has identified six primary distribution channels for its Evolucia products, listed and discussed in more detail below, which it services through a network of manufacturers’ reps throughout North America and in various other countries:

1. Utilities,
2. Engineering Service Company (ESCO),
3. Commercial and Industrial (C&I),
4. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM),
5. Federal Government and
6. International channels.

 
1) Utility Market

NEMA (North American Manufacturing Association) estimates that public utilities have installed and currently maintain in excess of 12.5 million cobra head street lights, and 9 million decorative post-top pedestrian-scale street lights in the U.S. There are more than 1,300 utilities in the U.S., comprised of approximately 100 investor-owned utilities, 250 municipal power companies, 930 rural electrical cooperatives and 40 state- or federally- owned utilities. All four types of utilities have distinct and independent internal organizations with input into street lighting equipment and specifications.

Utilities pay a lower price for energy than most of our customers, because they either generate the power themselves, or buy it wholesale. As a result, energy savings, which is one of the primary advantages of our products, is not as important to utility company customers. Additionally, as most of our lights are used during off peak hours, power companies typically would not benefit significantly from such energy savings.

In spite of these obstacles, the Company believes that the utility market presents significant opportunities if we are able to offer a product with a lower initial cost than our current products. We are directing significant efforts to reducing the cost of manufacturing our product in order to better serve this market.
 
2) ESCOs and Alternative Arrangements

Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) sell packages of enhanced energy-efficient equipment/services for use in newly constructed buildings, or as retrofits to existing systems. ESCOs typically provide a broad range of energy solutions, including design and implementation of energy savings projects, energy conservation, energy infrastructure outsourcing, power generation and energy supply and risk management. Typical energy-efficient products sold by ESCOs include lighting, water heating, HVAC, elevators, air conditioning and windows. ESCOs typically perform upfront/in-depth analyses of properties, design an energy-efficient solution, install the required elements and maintain the system to ensure energy savings during the payback period. The savings in energy costs often are used to pay back the capital investment of the project over a specified period. The opportunity for Evolucia is to be the LED lighting provider in energy efficiency projects/RFPs won by ESCOs.

The leading ESCOs in the United States include Siemens, Honeywell, Trane, Chevron, Florida Power and Lighting (FPL) and Johnson Controls. We are currently working with several ESCOs on individual projects.  However, because each project includes an additional layer of cost associated with the ESCO contractor, it is difficult for our products to be competitive on overall price.

In addition to ESCOs, which operate from a formal regulated structure, an industry of energy consultants with various professional designations have entered into the market place in recent years. We have developed relationships with a number of these consultants and continue to work with them to generate sales.
  
3) Commercial and Industrial (C&I)

The C&I market is one of the most visible portions of the lighting market. Typically, architects and/or engineers design and specify lighting systems primarily for new construction, and the projects are sent out for bid. Electrical contractors, usually under contract with a general contractor, purchase the “lighting package” from electrical distributors. In this market, lighting fixture manufacturers are represented by manufacturer’s rep agencies. The Company currently has relationships with more than 40 rep agencies throughout the U.S.

The C&I market has recently consolidated and is currently dominated by a few Tier 1 lighting companies: Osram-Sylvania, GE, Lithonia (Acuity), Hubbell (Beacon, Varon), Cooper Lighting (IO Lighting) and Philips (Genlyte). In addition, each of those lighting companies has its own agency network, with roughly 75–80 regional sales reps covering the U.S. market. The Tier 2, 3 and 4 companies typically sell their products through representation by one of the Tier 1 companies. In addition, U.S. companies face significant competition from international companies in this market, the largest of which is Leotek, a Taiwanese company.

The Company is aggressively pursuing this market; however, fierce competition in this market results in slim profit margins. In order to compete more effectively in this market, we must reduce the cost of producing our product. Although our product delivers higher quality, more efficient light through the Aimed Optics™ technology, this market is currently unwilling to pay more for additional quality. We have several initiatives underway to reduce the cost of producing our product to address the challenges in this and other markets that arises from cost of production.

4) Federal Government

All departments of the federal government, other than the Department of Defense, are required by the Energy Act of 2007 to use lighting with the lowest payback model. In order to sell any products to the U.S. Government, companies need approval from the General Services Administration (GSA) and must obtain a GSA authorization number. Companies with GSA authority are eligible to be included in the GSA purchasing catalog where any Department or Agency may purchase products up to $75,000 without an RFP or competitive bid. The Company was awarded a GSA schedule in February 2010. The Company has been successful in marketing its products to the U.S. military and has installed its lights on several military bases in the last two years. We continue to expand our capabilities in serving this market and expect this market to represent increasing sales in the future.
 
 
5) International

The international market represents a large opportunity for Evolucia as many countries do not have the installed power generation and distribution infrastructure that exists in the U.S., and often have power costs that are significantly higher than in the U.S. In addition, several countries, including China and Mexico, have announced mandated transition to LED lighting. The international market presents additional challenges in addressing each country’s specific requirements and to arrange manufacturing and distribution sufficient to meet demand and to maintain quality. We are in active discussions with several countries to provide lighting solutions for specific projects. The international market did not represent a significant portion of sales in the most recent fiscal year; however, certain international markets are growing and this segment could contribute significant sales in the future.

On February 22, 2013, the Company and OSRAM Mexico finalized an agreement whereby the companies will develop, deliver and market OSRAM ProPoint™ Cobrahead LED outdoor luminaires using Evolucia Aimed Optics™. Under the agreement, the companies will work together to integrate the Company’s Aimed Optics™ technology with superior LED modules and lighting controls from OSRAM. The combination is expected to result in one of the highest performing and highest quality LED outdoor luminaires in the industry

On March 19, 2013, Evolucia Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with Sunovia Energy Technologies Europe Sp. z o.o. (“SETE”), an unaffiliated polish corporation, pursuant to which the parties agreed to establish a joint venture (the “JV”) for the purpose of manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing the Company’s products within Europe.  The JV will be formed as Evolucia Europe Sp. z o.o., a Polish corporation.  Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the Company will receive 51% ownership of the JV and SETE will receive 49% ownership of the JV and the Company will appoint one of the three managers.  The JV in turn will have the ability to transfer the right to manufacture, market, sell and distribute to third parties, which may be affiliates of SETE.  In consideration for transferring the above rights to the JV, the JV is required to make a payment of USD $11,000,000 (the “JV Payment”) to the Company prior to August 31, 2013.  The Master Agreement has an initial term of 20 years but shall be terminated in the event the JV fails to make the JV Payment to the Company.
 
Dependence on Customers

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we had aggregate sales of $1,587,008 to three customers, compared to sales of $709,251 to two customers during the period ended December 31, 2011, which sales individually represented more than 10% of the Company’s net revenues. Also, as of December 31, 2012, 60% of net accounts receivable were due from three customers, compared to 59% of net account receivable from two customers as of the end of 2011.
 
Patents

The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates have applied for and obtained a number of patents in various technologies, particularly LED lighting and solar technologies. The table below lists the Company’s LED lighting patents.

Need for Government Approval of Principal Products and Services

We do not require government approval to sell any of our products. However, in certain instances our customers may desire carbon and tax credits associated with the use of our products, which requires governmental approval.

Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulations

We are not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations that may have a material effect on the normal operations of our business. With respect to lighting, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) requires that each Federal agency ensure that major replacements of installed equipment (such as heating and cooling systems) or renovation or expansion of existing space employ the most energy-efficient designs, systems, equipment, and controls that are life-cycle cost-effective. EISA 2007 sets several additional mandates regarding procurement of energy-efficient products. We build products and conduct business in a manner intended to meet these standards when we sell into the markets where they are applicable.
 
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

Various federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, will directly impact our planned future. Based upon our current product mix and the markets in which we sell them, there are no environmental laws that require our compliance that we anticipate to have a material effect on the normal operations of our business. In the event we offer compact fluorescent lights for sale in the future, this may change, as there have been concerns raised regarding mercury pollution associated with CFLs.

Employees

As of April 14, 2013, we had 23 full-time employees. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider relations with employees to be good.

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.


We currently lease an operating facility at 106 Cattlemen Road Sarasota, FL 34232. This facility is under a five year and six months lease. The lease requires monthly rent, including sales tax, of approximately $10,445. The building consists of 17,252 square feet of laboratory, warehouse and office space. On October 28, 2012, the Company completely vacated its operations from its former headquarters at 106 Cattlemen Road, Sarasota, FL, 34232 due to the presence of mold. Headquarters office operations were moved temporarily to 6151 Lake Osprey Drive, Sarasota, FL 34240 while the manufacturing division, which also includes its warehouse, was moved temporarily to 6225 21st Street, Bradenton, FL  34203. The current facilities are rented on a month to month basis for approximately $15,622 per month. The temporary facilities are in good condition and are adequate for small scale commercialization of our products. We are participating in an incentive-based grant program through Sarasota County which resulted in an incentive of $50,000 in fiscal year 2009.
  

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.

We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results, other than as described below:

Litigation with Supplier

The Company is defending a lawsuit brought by a supplier of a component part of the Evolucia LED light fixtures. The suit alleges that the Company owes a re-stocking fee for the return of certain inventory. The plaintiff has alleged damages in excess of $100,000. The Company believes it has substantial defenses to this lawsuit and intends to vigorously defend it. The lawsuit is in the early stages of pleadings, and the outcome of this case is uncertain at this time. The Company has incurred no significant legal fees to date in this case.


Not applicable.

 Holders

As of March 29, 2013, we had approximately 1,518 record holders of our common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of our stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. Our transfer agent is Island Stock Transfer, Inc. 15500 Roosevelt Boulevard, Suite 301, Clearwater, Florida 33760.

Dividends

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends if, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
 
● we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
● our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

We have not declared any dividends, and we do not anticipate declaring any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Overview

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $6,578,296, as compared to a net loss of $4,160,638 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $2,417,658, or 58%. The increase resulted from two primary areas: a decrease in Gross Profit of $661,918 and an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.7 million. The loss from operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 was $6,390,857 as compared to a loss from operations in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 of $4,061,092, or an increase of 51.6%.

Revenues

Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 were $2,742,587, which represented an increase of approximately 4% from the prior year of $2,639,634.

Costs of Goods Sold
 
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) includes the costs of sale of our products, including material costs, manufacturing and labor, freight and shipping, warranty expense and sales commissions. COGS increased 36% in fiscal year 2012 to $2,922,339 from $2,157,198 in fiscal year 2011. This increase in primarily attributable to an increase in material costs associated with our first generation LED fixtures and the write off of obsolete inventory of $97,481.

Gross Profit

The Company had a gross loss of $179,752 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to a gross profit of $482,166, or 18.3%, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.  The decrease in gross profit is attributable primarily to a necessary price reduction of our first generation LED fixtures in response to an evolving and more competitive marketplace as well as to an increase in associated cost of goods sold.

Expenses

Total operating expenses increased 32%, to $5,978,105 in fiscal year 2012 compared to $4,543,258 in 2011.

The major categories of expense for the Company are discussed individually below.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2012 and 2011 were equal to total operating expenses, as the Company had no research and development expense in that period. The major components of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses are discussed below.

 
Product Development

Product development costs were $239,991 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $339,435 for the year ending December 31, 2011, a decrease of  $99,444. Product development expenses in 2012 represented refining existing designs and development of the next generation cobra head and shoebox products. In addition, in 2012, the Company hired additional personnel in an effort bring the development function in-house versus having outside consultants conduct these efforts in prior years.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses are the ordinary expenses of running the business, including overhead, managerial and professional salaries and occupancy expense. For the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company’s general and administrative expenses were $5,578,208, compared to $4,173,063 in the prior year, an increase of $1,405,145 or 34%. $158,795 of this increase, relates to the issuance of stock and stock options issued to consultants. Additional notable increases included compensation and benefits, $386,355, Professional Fees (which include legal and consulting fees incurred for the filing of patents), $180,390, Consultants, $93,944, and Travel, $97,388.

Impairments – The Company incurred impairment expense of $103,008 associated with the write-off of an intangible asset.

Marketing & Sales

Marketing & Sales expenses totaled $163,906 in fiscal year 2012, as compared to $30,760 in fiscal year 2011, representing an increase of $133,146 or 433%. The increase reflects the company’s efforts to re-brand the company and position it more effectively in the marketplace. Included in this category are product samples which were provided to customers for evaluation and potential future orders.
 
Research and Development

The Company did not incur any research and development expenses in 2012 or 2011.

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and expense reflects interests costs (net of interest income), including derivatives and impairment costs, as discussed below:

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $420,434, compared to $99,546 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in interest expense resulted from the sale of $1,000,000 in convertible debentures in June of 2011 that were outstanding for the full year of 2012 as well as interest expense associated with borrowings on a credit facility. In addition, the Company incurred a debt inducement expense of $300,000 related to the conversion of $450,000 of debt to common stock.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient to meet its current obligations. In fiscal year 2012, the Company relied upon additional investment through sales of common stock, lines of credit, and debentures in order to fund its operations. For recent financing activities  See “Subsequent Events” below and Note M to the Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.

Cash Flows and Working Capital

As a result of losses we have incurred to date, we have financed our operations primarily through equity, lines of credit, and debentures. As of December 31, 2012, we had $1,642,464 in cash and cash equivalents. We had receivables, net of allowances, of $112,982 and inventory of $1,280,072. Our current liabilities were $2,780,461.

Our business cycle is working capital intensive. The sales cycle can be several months or longer and sales are not invoiced until the product has been built and shipped, requiring all cost of goods, and in some cases sales commissions, to be incurred prior to payment on an order. Also, because we build our products based upon a specific order, it can take up to 90 days to fulfill an order, followed by a period of time in which to collect our receivables. As discussed in “Subsequent Events” below and Note M to the Financial Statements, we have two lines of credit with a total borrowing capacity of $2.5 million, $2 million of which was provided in cash to the Company and can be used for working capital purposes while the other $500,000 facility is available upon request for specific customer purchase orders pursuant to certain conditions. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had drawn an aggregate of $435,544 and had an available balance of $2,064,456. $360,130 was drawn on the $2 million facility and $75,414 was drawn on the $500 thousand facility.

As noted below, the Company accepted subscriptions for the sale of common stock in the aggregate amount of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2012.

The Company uses contract manufacturers to produce its products and therefore does not have significant capital expenditures at this time.
 
 
Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $2,993,531

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $66,578.

Financing Activities

Our net cash raised in financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 was $4,466,695, of which $2,500,000 resulted from the sale of common stock and $2,075,414 resulted from proceeds from a Line of Credit. In addition, the Company repaid short-term debt of $108,719 during 2012.

Cash Requirements

As of December 31, 2012, we had $1,642,464 in cash and cash equivalents. As discussed below, this is not adequate to maintain the Company’s current level of operations through December 31, 2013. However, subsequent events have significantly improved the Company’s cash position and ability to maintain its operations. See “Subsequent Events” below and Note M to the Financial Statements included herein.

Subsequent Events

On February 22, 2013 a private investor, shareholder, and director of the Company received a warrant for 107,000,000 shares at a purchase price per share of $0.025 pursuant to the investor making the entire Line of Credit available without restriction to the Company for use as working capital. The Warrant has a term of 10 years.

On February 27, 2013, a private investor, shareholder, and director of the Company received a warrant for 6,250,000 shares at a purchase price per share of $0.025 pursuant to the investor increasing the purchase order Line of Credit to $500,000. The Warrant has a term of 10 years

On March 4, 2013, the Company  granted a stock option on 1,000,000 shares to an employee of the Company. This option has an exercise price of $.025 per share and vests ratably over a four year period. The option has a term of 10 years.

On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with Sunovia Energy Technologies Europe Sp. z o.o. (SETE), a Polish corporation which is unaffiliated with the Company. The agreement calls for the payment of $11 million to Evolucia by August 31, 2013 in exchange for the manufacture and distribution rights to the European markets.  Under the joint venture agreement, a new entity called Evolucia Europe Sp. z o.o. will be created, with Evolucia Inc. holding a 51% ownership share and SETE holding the remaining 49% ownership.  The joint venture agreement provides exclusive manufacturing rights to Evolucia Europe for the European markets. There is no assurance that this joint venture agreement will be completed.
 
On April 15, 2013 holders of an aggregate of $821,326 of notes payable and convertible debt extended the due dates of the debt to 2014 or have rolled over their principal plus the accrued interest into the current PPM
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company does not believe that recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We have identified our critical accounting estimates which are discussed below.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include the valuation of stock based charges and the valuation of inventory reserves.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers based upon a written credit policy.  Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate for the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable.  The Company establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.  Receivable balances are reviewed on an aged basis and account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not require collateral on accounts receivable.

Research and Development

Research and Development ("R&D") expenses are charged to expense when incurred. The Company has consulting arrangements which are typically based upon a fee paid monthly or quarterly. Samples are purchased that are used in testing, and are expensed when purchased. R&D costs also include salaries and related personnel expenses, direct materials, laboratory supplies, equipment expenses and administrative expenses that are allocated to R&D based upon personnel costs.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the following conditions have been met: there is persuasive evidence an arrangement exists which includes a fixed price, there is reasonable assurance of collection, the services or products have been provided and delivered to the customer, no additional performance is required, and title and risk of loss has passed to the customer. Products may be placed on consignment to a limited number of resellers. Revenue for these consignment transactions will also be recognized as noted above.

Share-Based Payments
 
Compensation cost relating to share based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award).
 
Liquidity
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although we have incurred losses from operations and have a significant accumulated deficit at December 31, 2012, we believe we have adequate resources, such as cash on-hand, our credit facilities, and the proceeds from a private placement during the first quarter of 2013 to meet our operating commitments for the next year (see Note O). Furthermore, we expect to have positive cash flows from operations in 2013. In the event these resources and operating cash flows are not sufficient to fully fund our operating commitments or our growth, we would look to secure additional debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful securing funding. In the event we are unable to fund our operations by positive operating cash flows or additional funding, we may be forced to reduce our expenses and slow down our growth rate. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We do not currently have any 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 are material to our stockholders.

 
Except as discussed below, our company has not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us under which we have:

· An obligation under a guarantee contract, although we do have obligations under certain sales arrangements including purchase obligations to vendors,
· A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets,
· Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument or,
· Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by us and material to us where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
 
 
We have no material exposure to interest rate changes. We are subject to changes in the prices of energy, which are out of our control.
 
Effect of Changes in Prices
 
In the lighting industry, prices of equivalent incandescent lighting products are lower than the Company’s prices. In addition, some competing LED lighting fixtures are priced lower than the Company’s products. Reducing the cost of our products is a primary focus at this time and will be necessary in order for our LED lighting products to be competitive in the marketplace in the future.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.


Management Report on Disclosure Controls

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the reasons discussed below.
  
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The financial statements, financial analyses and all other information included in this Report were prepared by the Company's management, which is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
  
The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
  
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition and use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls.  Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation.  Furthermore, due to changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time.
 
 
Our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in   Internal Control – Integrated Framework   (1992) and  Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies   (2006), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management has concluded that its internal controls over financial reporting are properly designed however due to the reasons discussed below do not operate effectively causing  weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company lacks an audit committee with an independent financial expert. The Company is planning to form an audit committee and hopes to do so within the next fiscal year.

The Company’s accounting department lacks sufficient employees to maintain a segregation of duties. The Company is planning to hire a controller and any necessary additional accounting personnel necessary to mitigate these issues.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
  
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


None.

Role of the Board

Pursuant to Nevada law, our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. The board is responsible for establishing broad corporate policies and for the overall performance and direction of the Company, but is not involved in day-to-day operations. Members of the board keep informed of our business by participating in board and committee meetings, by reviewing analyses and reports sent to them regularly, and through discussions with our executive officers.

2012 Board Meetings

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Board formally met 11 times and took action by unanimous written consent on 5 additional occasions. All of the directors attended each of the meetings of the Board in 2012.

Board Committees

Audit Committee

We do not have a separate Audit Committee; rather, our board of directors performed the functions of an Audit Committee during 2012. These functions include recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the auditors’ independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

Nominating Committee

We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Our board of directors performs the functions associated with a Nominating Committee.
 
Compensation Committee

We currently do not have a Compensation Committee of the board of directors. Our board of directors performs the functions of the Compensation Committee, including reviewing compensation and incentives our executive officers, directors, consultants and employees.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.
 
INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Other than as discussed herein, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons have been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

1. any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
 
 
2. any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

3. being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

4. being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

Code of Conduct

We have adopted a written code of conduct that governs all of our officers, directors, employees and contractors. The code of conduct relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
 
·  
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
 
·  
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer;
 
·  
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
 
·  
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and
 
·  
Accountability for adherence to the code.
 
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP COMPLIANCE
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s Directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of the Company’s common stock, to file with the SEC the initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock. Officers, Directors and greater than 10 percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
 
Specific due dates for such reports have been established by the SEC, and the Company is required to disclose in this report any failure to file reports by such dates during fiscal year 2012. Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for such persons, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, there was no failure to comply with Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors or ten percent stockholders. 
 
Director Compensation

The Company compensates outside directors on a negotiated basis including expenses for their service. Each of the outside directors received a Warrant for the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price ranges from $0.025 to $0.030 depending on when the warrants were issued and vests ratably over a four year period.

Limitation of Liability of Directors
 
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to limit the rights of the Company and its shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
 
 
 Election of Directors and Officers
 
Directors are elected to serve until the next Annual Meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.
 
No Executive Officer or Director has been the subject of any order, judgment, or decree of any Court of competent jurisdiction, or any regulatory agency permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring suspending or otherwise limiting him from acting as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in the securities industry, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of an investment company, bank, savings and loan association, or insurance company or from engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with any such activity or in connection with the purchase or sale of any securities.
 
No Executive Officer or Director has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations) or is the subject of a criminal proceeding which is currently pending.
 
To the best of our knowledge, no Executive Officer or Director is the subject of any pending legal proceedings.
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Currently, the Company’s philosophy is to align compensation with its short-term goals (development of products, sales, and generating positive cash flow) as well as the long-term goal of providing expertise to develop long-term product development and development of markets for the Company to pursue. Our plan was determined by a combination of upper management, finance and operations departments, based on research available from NCEO (the National Center for Employee Ownership) and other research management is familiar with. The current plan has the flexibility to be changed as the needs of the Company and the circumstances surrounding it change. The Company has designed its compensation structure to provide its core employees with fair but slightly below-market compensation and supplement that compensation with equity-based incentives such as stock options and stock-based compensation in certain cases. These equity-based incentives align the interests of employees with those of shareholders and allow the employees to earn higher rates of income if the value of the Company improves over time. . The equity-based incentives also give the Company the ability to utilize less cash for compensation and still reward employees for performance improvements. Certain consultants have elected to be paid in shares only.
 
We do not work from any specified formula in setting compensation. Individual awards are based on a combination of factors, including current compensation level, the importance of the type of work performed to the Company’s overall goals, the relative degree of an individual’s shortfall between current compensation and market compensation for the particular job and executive management’s determination of the impact of the incentive level on performance. In 2011, we awarded options with terms of 10 years that vest over four years to provide longer-term incentives. All of our employees who served in 2011 who were not founders of the Company were granted stock options.
 
We match to our 401(k) up to a specified level, which is the same for all employees. This is the only form of retirement plan we offer.  We pay a portion of health insurance for our employees.

We entered into employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer during the year ended December 31, 2012.

We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not yet cost effective for the Company.
  
 
The following table sets forth information concerning the total compensation that we have paid or that has accrued on behalf of our executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and the comparable period in 2011. For Mr. Buckland, the table includes compensation for the 2011 and from January 1, 2012 through his last date of employment, January 19, 2012.

Long-Term Incentive Plans
 
Other than the Company’s 401(k) plan which is available to all employees, prior to May 1, 2008, there were no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers, except that our employees, directors and executive officers did receive stock options and stock grants at the discretion of our board of directors.
 
On May 1, 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (“the Plan”) designed to retain directors, employees, executives and consultants and reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company. The Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders in November, 2010. A copy of the Plan has been filed by the Company as an exhibit to a prior report and is available through several sources, including the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following is a summary of the Plan and does not purport to be complete:
 
 
The Plan is administered by the board of directors. The Plan did not have any individual caps other than the limitations on granting incentive stock options to employees, which limits are imposed by the rules relating to incentive stock options rather than the plan itself. The Plan permits the grant of restricted stock and nonstatutory options to participants. The maximum number of shares subject to the Plan was 30,000,000 when it was adopted; this amount was increased to 125,000,000 when the Plan was approved by the shareholders in November, 2010. The Plan will terminate ten years from the date it was adopted. The board of directors may, as permitted by law, modify the terms of any grants under the Plan, and amend, suspend, or extend the Plan itself.
 
On termination of employment, unvested options expire and do not continue to vest. Vested options are exercisable by employees on termination as follows:
 
·  
Voluntary termination by the employee: within 3 months after termination of employment.
 
·  
Termination by the Company for cause: options expire on termination
 
·  
Disability:  vested options may be exercised within six months after termination.
 
·  
Death: vested options may be exercised for one year after death.
 
·  
Retirement permits exercise in accordance with the terms of the option.
 
Options cannot be transferred without the consent of the board of directors. Individual grants are made by the board.
 
We do not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock compensation may be granted at the discretion of our board of directors.
 
We have no plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may be received by our executive officers to compensate such officers in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, retirement, change of control) or a change of responsibilities following a change of control, where the value of such compensation exceeds $60,000 per executive officer.  However, stock options granted under the Plan vest in the event of a change of control.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
 
The Company has various employment and consulting contracts with its executives and consultants, described more fully below:
 
On June 4, 2012, the Company entered into an employment agreement effective March 22, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) with Mel Interiano its Chairman & CEO (“CEO”).  The term of employment with the Company will be at will.  Either the CEO or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time without notice or cause.  In consideration for services as the CEO, the Company shall compensate him at a base salary of $300,000 (the “Base Salary”).  The Base Salary will be subject to modification during the employment in accordance with the Company’s practices, policies, and procedures but will not be reduced without mutual agreement.  In the event the Company terminates the Agreement without cause, the Company will be required to pay severance equal to one year in salary.
 
In addition, the CEO will be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus of up to 100% of his Base Salary measured as of the end of the preceding fiscal year, payable in cash when other Company executives are paid their bonuses.  Further, the CEO was granted Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 25,000,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock.  The exercise price for the Warrant per share is $0.0179.  The Warrant will vest in four equal installments on a yearly basis with the intended 6,250,000 Warrant Shares vesting one year from the Effective Date then continuing thereafter at the same rate.
 
The Company had previously entered into a consulting agreement with VM5 Ventures, LLC (“VM5”) a Company owned by the CEO. The Company and VM5 entered into a Termination and Settlement Agreement whereby the Company agreed to pay VM5 $75,000 on or before June 15, 2012, and the consulting agreement was terminated.   The Company and the CEO amended the Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement entered into between the Company and the CEO on January 31, 2012, whereby the option to purchase 50,000,000 shares will vest as to 25% of the shares annually if the Company’s top line revenue has increased by $10 million.  The option will continue to vest as to the remaining 75% of the shares in increments of 25% of the shares annually each time the Company’s top line revenue increases by at least $10 million from the previous year.

On September 13, 2012, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Charles B. Rockwood its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“EVP & CFO”) of the Company. The term of employment with the Company will be at will.  Either EVP & CFO or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time without notice or cause.  In consideration for services as EVP & CFO, the Company shall compensate him at a base salary of $150,000 (the “Base Salary”).  The Base Salary will be increased by 5% to 10% on a yearly basis depending on whether certain metrics are satisfied.  The Base Salary increases to $225,000 upon the Company successfully raising $3,000,000 in financing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evolucia, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits 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 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 financial position of Evolucia, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EVOLUCIA INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012 and 2011


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization, Nature, and Continuance of Operations

Evolucia, Inc. (formerly Sunovia Energy Technologies, Inc.) (“the Company”) is a Nevada corporation engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and selling energy-efficient light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures through a number of channels including strategic partnerships and energy solution providers.
 
 
Liquidity
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although we have incurred losses from operations and have a significant accumulated deficit at December 31, 2012, we believe we have adequate resources, such as cash on-hand, our credit facilities, and the proceeds from a private placement during the first quarter of 2013 to meet our operating commitments for the next year (see Note O). Furthermore, we expect to have positive cash flows from operations in 2013. In the event these resources and operating cash flows are not sufficient to fully fund our operating commitments or our growth, we would look to secure additional debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful securing funding. In the event we are unable to fund our operations by positive operating cash flows or additional funding, we may be forced to reduce our expenses and slow down our growth rate. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

U
Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Method

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain 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 during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate principally to the adequacy of our inventory allowances, our deferred income tax assets and stock based compensation.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that the Company’s estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.

Cash Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents.  The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts principally with two financial institutions located in the United States.  Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant risks on such accounts however at times these deposits may exceed federally insured limits.  Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal interest rate risk.  At December 31, 2012, substantially all of the Company’s cash was on deposit at a single financial institution.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 
Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers based upon a written credit policy.  Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate for the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable.  The Company establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.  Receivable balances are reviewed on an aged basis and account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not require collateral on accounts receivable.

The Company determined an allowance for uncollectible accounts was not required at December 31, 2012 and 2011.  Management has not charged interest on accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012.  

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Maintenance, repairs and other renewals are charged to expense when incurred.  Major additions are capitalized, while minor additions, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, are charged to operations when incurred.  When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to seven years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets

We periodically perform impairment tests on each of our long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets.  In doing so, we evaluate the carrying value of each long-lived asset with respect to several factors, including historical revenue generated from each asset, application of the assets in our current business plan, and projected cash flow to be derived from the asset.
 
The determination of the fair value of certain acquired assets and liabilities is subjective in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Where practicable, we will obtain an independent valuation of intangible assets, and place reliance on such valuation.  Then on an ongoing basis, we use the weighted-average probability method outlined in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, to estimate the fair value. This method requires significant management judgment to forecast the future operating results used in the analysis. In addition, other significant estimates are required such as residual growth rates and discount factors. The estimates we have used are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage our business, based on available historical information and industry averages. The judgments made in determining the estimated useful lives assigned to each class of assets acquired can also significantly affect our net operating results.
 
According to ASC 360, a long-lived asset should be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. We follow the two-step process outlined in ASC 360 for determining if an impairment charge should be taken: (1) the expected undiscounted cash flows from a particular asset or asset group are compared with the carrying value; if the expected undiscounted cash flows are greater than the carrying value, no impairment is recognized, but if the expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then (2) an impairment charge is taken for the difference between the carrying value and the expected discounted cash flows.  The assumptions used in developing expected cash flow estimates are similar to those used in developing other information used by us for budgeting and other forecasting purposes.  In instances where a
range of potential future cash flows is possible, we use a probability-weighted approach to weigh the likelihood of those possible outcomes.  For purposes of discounting cash flows, we use a discount rate equal to the yield on a zero-coupon US Treasury instrument with a life equal to the expected life of the intangible asset or asset group being tested.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life.  All intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or when events indicate impairment.  The costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring such intangibles that are not specifically identifiable, have indeterminate lives, or are inherent in a continuing business are charged to expense when incurred.
 
Research and Development

Research and Development ("R&D") expenses are charged as an expense when incurred.  The Company has consulting arrangements from time to time which typically require a fee to be paid monthly or quarterly for services rendered.  Samples are purchased that are used in testing, and are expensed when purchased.  R&D costs also include salaries and related personnel expenses, direct materials, laboratory supplies, equipment expenses and administrative expenses that are allocated to R&D based upon personnel costs.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the following conditions have been met: there is persuasive evidence an arrangement exists which includes a fixed price, there is reasonable assurance of collection, the services or products have been provided and delivered to the customer, no additional performance is required, and title and risk of loss has passed to the customer.

 
Products may be placed on consignment to a limited number of resellers.  Revenue for these consignment transactions will also be recognized as noted above.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Amounts charged to customers for shipping and handling of products is recorded as product revenue.  The related costs are recorded as cost of sales.

Advertising

Advertising costs, including direct response advertising costs, are charged to operations as they are incurred. Advertising costs charged to expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $43,035 and $11,052.

Share-Based Payments

ASC 718, Stock Compensation requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the grant date fair value of the award.
 
We record the grant date fair value of stock-based compensation awards as an expense over the vesting period of the related stock options.  In order to determine the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant, we use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Inherent in this model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, option life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.  Although the risk-free interest rates and dividend yield are less subjective assumptions, typically based on factual data derived from public sources, the expected stock-price volatility, forfeiture rate and option life assumptions require a greater level of judgment which makes them critical accounting estimates.
 
We use an expected stock price volatility assumption that is based on historical volatilities of our common stock and we estimate the forfeiture rate and option life based on historical data related to prior option grants, as we believe such historical data will be similar to future results.

U
Income Taxes (Benefits)

We compute income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.  Under ASC 740, provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable during each reporting period and changes in deferred taxes.  Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.  Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.  Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current depending on the classifications of the assets and liabilities to which they relate.   Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.   If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

We follow the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.  The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share is computed using the basic and diluted calculations on the statement of operations.  Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.  Weighted average number of shares is adjusted for stock splits and reverse stock splits.  Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method.  The total number of shares not included in the calculation at December 31, 2012 and 2011, based on this methodology, was 199,626,660 and 110,172,412.

Inventory

Inventory consists of various electronic and other components used in the assembly of LED lighting fixtures.  Inventory is stated at the lower cost or market.  Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.


Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
 Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.  Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes and debentures payable are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Common stock redemption was carried at cost, which approximates fair value, because it was anticipated that it will be redeemed at this specific amount. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms.
 
NOTE B - ACQUISITION OF PATENT RIGHTS FROM SPARX, INC.

On December 21, 2005, the Company acquired certain patent rights from Sparx, Inc., a Florida corporation 100% owned by the Company’s founder and then chief executive officer, As consideration for the assignment of the patent rights, the Company entered into a royalty agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with Sparx, Inc., that provided for a royalty payment of 4.9% of gross revenues from the patent rights assigned. In September 2010, the Company issued 2,870,000 shares in settlement of the obligation under the Royalty Agreement which was mutually terminated effective January 1, 2011. In addition, the Company granted to Sparx an option to acquire 500,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share. This option was subsequently modified to permit it to be assigned and in 2009, the option was assigned to Craca Properties, LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s founder. This option was mutually terminated in February 2011 (see Note L). The Company has no further or continuing obligation under the Royalty Agreement, and the option has been cancelled, with no party having any further rights to the option or any shares covered by it.

NOTE C - INCOME TAXES

The Company's net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

The Company has reserved the entire balance of the loss carryforward at December 31, 2012, as it is unable to project whether it will be able to utilize the carryforward. The principal difference between the loss for book purposes and the net operating loss carryforward results primarily from stock compensation and other non-cash items. The change in the valuation allowance was $1,660,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company has not taken any uncertain tax positions on any of our open income tax returns filed through the period ended December 31, 2012. Our methods of accounting are based on established income tax principles in the Internal Revenue Code and are properly calculated and reflected within our income tax returns. Due to the carry forward of net operating losses, our federal and state income tax returns are subject to audit for periods beginning in 2007.

NOTE D - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, property and equipment consisted of the following:

Litigation   

EPIR

("Labs") and Sivalingam Sivananthan entered into a settlement agreement settling litigation between them relating to the Company’s contract with EPIR to develop solar technologies. The parties have complied with the terms of the settlement, and all claims in the litigation have been dismissed.

 
The Company transferred, for no further consideration, 20,220,000 shares of EPIR common stock held by it (which was all of the shares of EPIR held by the Company) back to EPIR;

 
The Company transferred, for no further consideration, 20,200 shares of Labs common stock, which was all shares of Labs common stock held by the Company back to Labs;

 
EPIR transferred, for no further consideration,  69,105,829 shares of the Company’s common stock held by it back to the Company (which is all shares of common stock of the Company held by EPIR and of which 59,405,829 shares have been cancelled) and the balance of the shares are pledged to secure the Company’s obligation, if any, to pay invoices for legal fees billed related to the case, which totaled $471,000; and

 
EPIR delivered to the Company the original warrant for the purchase of 25,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for no further consideration, which warrant was cancelled.

NOTE M – NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Convertible Debentures
 
On June 10, 2011, the Company completed an offering of 9% Convertible Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 to 10 existing shareholders. The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 9%. Interest on the Notes is accrued and payable on the earlier of conversion to common stock or the maturity date of the 9% Notes. The Notes are secured by a lien on all of the assets of the Company. The Notes mature on July 1, 2012 and may be prepaid at any time without penalty upon ten days’ notice to the holders of the Notes.

The Convertible Notes are convertible on or after September 1, 2011 at a conversion price of $.06, which is 150% of the market value of the Company’s common stock, determined based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 20-day period beginning May 31, 2011 and ending June 20, 2011. The Company may require conversion of the Notes if the market value of the Company’s common stock exceeds 200% of the conversion price over a 20-day trading period, provided that a minimum trading volume of 50,000 shares per day exists during that time period.

During March and April 2012 holders of an aggregate of $900,000 in principal of the 9% convertible notes described above have restructured their Convertible Notes by extending the maturity date to July 1, 2013. In connection with that extension, each of these holders converted 50% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to common stock at $.02 per share which was the trading price of the shares on the conversion date, and the Company modified the terms of the remaining debt to allow conversion at $.02 per share and to increase the interest rate to 10% per annum. The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the new notes is $550,000. The Company issued an aggregate of 45,000,000 shares of common stock to the holders of the Convertible Notes for the conversion of principal to common stock. In connection with the modification and conversion the Company recorded a debt conversion expense of $300,000.

The outstanding notes may be converted into an aggregate of 24,166,667 common shares pursuant to their terms.
 
Notes Payable

From December 2009 through July 2010 the Company borrowed an aggregate of $706,326 from certain shareholders.

The borrowings are evidenced by notes which bear interest at 10% per annum and are due between 12 months and 24 months from the date of issuance.

During 2010 and 2011 $156,281 of the debt was repaid and as of December 31, 2011, the aggregate balance outstanding on these notes was $672,687.

A private investor, shareholder and director of the Company has made available to the Company a working capital and purchase order line of credit (Line of Credit) of $2.0 million, which is due during January 2014 (see Note O), and which may be increased at the investor’s discretion. The Line of Credit may be drawn to purchase components for orders (Purchase Orders) of the Company’s products approved by the investor and that are used to fulfill specific customer orders. For advances made for the purpose of funding Purchase Orders, the line is secured to the extent of the specific customer accounts receivables that are related to the Purchase Order upon which the advance was made. Advances made against Purchase Orders bear interest at an annual rate of 12.5% and the principal amount of the draws, plus accrued interest, must be repaid back to the Line of Credit within three business days of receipt of payment from the customer.  Because interest is added back to the Line of Credit, the available balance increases by that amount.

On February 22, 2013, effective as of December 31, 2012, the investor made the entire Line of Credit available without restriction to the Company to use for both Working Capital purposes and for Purchase Orders. For that portion of the Line of Credit that is used for Working Capital purposes, the Line of Credit is unsecured, and bears interest at an annual rate of 14.0%. At December 31, 2012, $360,130 was drawn on the bank account, $300,000 of which was for Working Capital purposes, and $60,130 was used for Purchase Orders. The balance of the line was $2,007,653 including unpaid interest of $7,653.

A private investor, shareholder and director of the Company made available to the Company a purchase order line of credit (Line of Credit) of $250,000, which may be increased at the investor’s discretion and, with the exception of $100,000 which is due in January, 2014, is due on demand.

The Line of Credit is secured to the extent of the specific customer accounts receivables that are related to the Purchase Order upon which the advance was made.
