CYCLONE POWER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATIONAL AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

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

 

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company established a subsidiary, Cyclone-WHE LLC (the “WHE Subsidiary”) to market the waste heat recovery systems for all Cyclone engine models. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a 74.46% controlling interest in the WHE Subsidiary. In March 2012, the Company established Cyclone Performance LLC (“Cyclone Performance”) f/k/a Cyclone-TeamSteam USA, LLC. The purpose of Cyclone Performance is to build, test and run a vehicle utilizing the Company’s engine. As of September 30, 2013, the company had a 95% controlling interest in Cyclone Performance.

 

B. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 74.46% owned WHE Subsidiary and its 95% owned subsidiary Cyclone Performance. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.

 

The accounting principles utilized by the Company require the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the periods. On an on-going basis, the Company reviews and evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those that relate to the realizable value of inventory, identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, contracts, income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

  

C. CASH

 

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

 

D. COMPUTATION OF LOSS PER SHARE

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is not presented as the conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, total anti-dilutive shares amounted to approximately 19.3 and 18.7 million shares, respectively.

 

 
5

 

  

E. INCOME TAXES

 

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

 

In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2013, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. Interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a component of income taxes. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2009 through 2012.

  

F. REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements”, and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment of engines and systems, engine prototypes, engine designs or other deliverables to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from contracts for multiple deliverables and milestone methods recognition are evaluated and allocated as appropriate. The Company has determined that the milestone method of revenue recognition (ASC 605-28) is appropriate for two of the Company’s contracts which specifically enumerate approved work effort milestones required for remuneration – the Company’s contract with the U.S. Army / TARDEC and the Amended and Restated Technology Application License Agreement with Phoenix Power Group LLC. The Company achieved the first milestone on its contract with the U.S. Army in July 2012 and for all of 2012 recognized revenue and related costs of goods sold of approximately $753,000 and $428,000, respectively.  In the first nine months of 2013, the Company achieved two additional milestones on the U.S. Army contract and recognized additional revenue and related cost of goods sold of approximately $503,000 and $295,000, respectively. With respect to the amended Phoenix license, the Company achieved one milestone in the third quarter of 2013 and recognized revenue and related cost of goods sold of approximately $150,000 and $133,000 respectively. All revenue and costs of goods sold are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not allow its customers to return prototype products. Current contracts do not require the Company to provide any warranty assistance after the “deliverable” has been accepted.

 

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

 

G. WARRANTY PROVISIONS

 

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

H. INVENTORY

 

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

 

I. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

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

 

Level 1

Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting date.

 

 

The summary of fair values and changing values of financial instruments as of January 1, 2013 (beginning of period) and September 30, 2013 (end of period) is as follows:

Lattice Model

 

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

 

 

J. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development activities for product development are expensed as incurred. Costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $573,600 and $772,468, respectively.

 

K. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

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

 

L. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND PURCHASE WARRANTS

 

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

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

 

M. ORIGINAL ISSUE DEBT DISCOUNT

 

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

 

N. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

          

   

Years

 

Display equipment for trade shows

            3          

Leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures

    10       -       15  

Shop equipment

            7          

Computers

            3          

 

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

 

O. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

 

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

 

P. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” in July 2013, ASU 2013-02 “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)” in February 2013 and 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” in January 2013.  Management believes that these standards will not materially impact our financial statements.

 

Q. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk. The Company expects cash and accounts receivable to be the two assets most likely to subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its risk of loss exposure.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company maintained its cash in two quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts through September 30, 2013. The Company purchases raw material and components from multiple sources, none of which may be considered a principal or material supplier. If necessary, the Company could replace these suppliers with minimal effect on its business operations.

R. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

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

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating and other losses of approximately $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The cumulative deficit since inception is approximately

$50.8 million, which is comprised of $20.0 million attributable to actual operating losses (which were paid in cash, stock for services and other equity instruments) and other expenses, and $30.8 million in non-cash derivative liability accounting which was a result of the conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in 2011, the retirement of a common stock purchase warrant in 2012 and the change in fair value of derivatives associated with notes payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company has a working capital deficit at September 30, 2013 of approximately $3.9 million. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans which include implementation of its business model to generate revenue from development contracts, licenses and product sales, and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will also likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing. 

 

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

NOTE 9 – STOCK TRANSACTIONS

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 9,691,071 shares of restricted common stock valued at $692,750 for outside services. Additionally, the Company amortized (based on vesting) $109,882 of common stock options for employee services, $51,930 for re-priced employee options, and $119,782 of common stock warrants. Unless otherwise described in these footnotes, reference to “restricted” common stock means that the shares are restricted from resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock for $100,000, and issued 675,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $54,000 in satisfaction of contracted and accrued officers’ salaries.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 342,996 shares of common stock valued at $20,994 as partial payment of interest on debt, 4,920,833 shares of common stock in repayment of $343,672 of debt, and 612,500 shares of common stock valued at $45,875 in satisfaction of liabilities.

 

In the third quarter of 2013, officers and members of the senior management of the Company donated 1,820,000 shares of their personal holdings of common stock to the 2013 Employee Appreciation Stock Pool, which was distributed to the Company’s employees as additional compensation and incentives based on their years in service. This resulted in a non-cash charge to compensation of $145,600. Additionally in the third quarter of 2013, the Company’s Chairman purchased a 5% equity interest in our subsidiary Cyclone-WHE LLC in exchange for 5,000,000 common shares of the Company that he personally owned. During the same quarter, Cyclone-WHE used 2,000,000 of these shares to compensate service providers and consultants, and currently holds 3,000,000 shares which are presented as treasury stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The treasury stock may be used in the future to pay for services or for fund raising activities.

 

NOTE 10 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

A. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

 

In recognition of and compensation for services rendered by officers and employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 600,000 common stock options, valued at $37,000  (pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model) that are exercisable into shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.08 and with a maturity life of 10 years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the income statement charge for the amortization of stock options was $109,882 and the unamortized balance was $25,012.

 

To improve the common stock position of the Company and help limit dilution, effective with the second quarter of 2013, the four corporate officers unanimously agreed to waive their rights to 2.4 million common stock options (600,000 per quarter collectively) contractually due them over the next 12 months. In lieu of issuing additional options to these officers and all other employees through the end of the year, the Company re-priced 4,185,000 million vested options held by the officers and employees that were priced at a minimum of $0.15 per share ($0.20 average) to $0.10 per share. The result was a non-cash charge of approximately $52,000. The remaining contractual life of the options was not changed.

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

 

   

Nine Months Ended

September 30,

2013

Expected volatility

    34 %     -       107 %

Expected dividend yield

            0 %          

Average value per options and warrants

  $ .01       -     $ .06    

 

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

 

B. COMMON STOCK WARRANTS

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, pursuant to the Company repaying $110,000 of debt with common stock, the Company re-priced 360,000 common stock warrants to $0.10 per share from an average price of $0.30 per share. Additionally, in connection with $200,000 of new debt, the Company issued 565,625 common stock warrants at an exercise price of $0.10 with a 5-year term. The Company also issued 100,000 warrants at an exercise price of $0.10 with a 5 year term (valued at $ 5,900) pursuant to a consulting agreement.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company also repaid debt and interest of $364,666 in common stock. The Company re-priced to $0.10 per share (from $0.20 per share) 1,986,222 common stock warrants issued in connection with $544,000 aggregate debt financing in the third quarter of 2012, and issued an additional 993,111 common stock warrants priced at $0.10 pursuant to this repayment event. The warrant holders may exercise the warrants without paying the cash price, and instead have the Company withhold shares that would otherwise be delivered pursuant to the warrant, based upon the market value of those shares and equal to the total conversion price of the remaining converted warrants. The warrants are also subject to certain anti-dilution protections, whereby if the Company issues common stock at a price less than $0.10 a share (in a “non-exempted” issuance, and based on the most current exercise price), then the exercise price of the warrants shall reset to that lower value. “Exempted” issuances include shares issued subject to Board-approved option plans, any convertible securities outstanding as of the date of the warrant issuance, up to 5 million shares of common stock issued to service providers of the Company, and certain other issuances set forth in the warrant agreements.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $15.3 million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2027. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax asset has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

NOTE 12 –LEASE OBLIGATIONS

 

A. CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATIONS

 

In 2009 the Company acquired $27,401 of property and equipment via capitalized lease obligations at an average interest rate of 18.4%. In September 2012, the Company acquired $21,310 of equipment via capitalized lease obligations at an interest rate of 12.5%. Total lease payments made for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $3,467. The balance of capitalized lease obligations payable at September 30, 2013 was $19,469. Future lease payments are:

B. LEASE ON ADDITIONAL FACILITIES

 

In July 2011, the Company signed a one-year lease for an additional 2,000 square feet at a rate of $8.25/ s.f. Effective July 2012 the Company renewed this lease for one year, at an annual rate of $16,800 or $8.40/s.f, terminating in September 2013. The lease has a remaining 1-year extension. The lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $14,761 and $14,095, respectively.

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

 

NOTE 14 – SUBSIDIARIES

 

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

 

 
15

 

 

In 2010 the Company established Cyclone-WHE LLC (CWHE) to license and market waste heat recovery systems for all engine models. In 2010, the Company sold an equity participation of 5% to a minority investor for $30,000, via the conversion of a Cyclone note payable. Another 5% was purchased directly from the subsidiary by a minority investor for services valued at $30,000 consisting of assistance in marketing, management and financing for projects to be carried out by the subsidiary. These services were amortized over a 12 month period. This investor also received and exercised in 2011 a 2.5% equity purchase warrant in the subsidiary for $50,000.

 

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

 

In July 2013, the Company’s Chairman purchased a 5% equity stake in our subsidiary CWHE in exchange for 5 million shares of his common stock in the Company. In connection with this purchase, the executive also agreed to release the security interest held by his company, Schoell Marine, on certain of the Company’s engine patents, which was collateral on approximately $425,000 in debt owed by the Company to Schoell Marine. The executive also agreed to provide 12 months of consulting services without additional compensation to CWHE.

 

In July 2013, as part of a Joint Manufacturing Operations Agreement, Precision CNC LLC (of Ohio) received a 5% interest in CWHE to provide expertise and management for its production operations (vesting over the following two years). Precision CNC was also given the right, during this period, to purchase up to an additional 5% in Cyclone-WHE at the then current valuation of that company. Concurrent with this agreement, CWHE was re-domiciled to Ohio.

 

The total losses of the CWHE subsidiary for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $39,601 and $0 respectively. Losses of the subsidiary are currently fully borne by the Company in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There is no guarantee of future profits or positive cash flow of the subsidiary that will be realized.

 

NOTE 15 – RECEIVABLES, DEFERRED REVENUE AND BACKLOG

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had collected $502,882, which relates to work in progress billings due from the U.S. Army/TARDEC contract, which has been recorded as revenue under the milestone method of revenue recognition for the contract. Additionally, the Company recorded $150,000 in revenue from the amended and restated license with Phoenix Power, which also fell under the milestone method of revenue recognition. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has no billed accounts receivables.

 

As of September 30, 2013, total backlog for prototype engines to be delivered in the following twelve months was $2.15 million, of which approximately $0.5 million has been paid under the Company’s Phoenix Power and Combilift agreements, collectively, and $1.25 million had been paid under the U.S. Army contract.  The Company expects the balance from these projects to be paid over the following six to nine months of the respective contracts’ development periods, as engines are delivered to the customers.

 

NOTE 16 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Pursuant to additional financing, on August 13, 2013, the Company renegotiated the conversion calculation for new and prior related debt ($200,000 aggregate). The new conversion price into common stock is the lessor of $.08 or 70% of the lowest closing price in the 20 trading days previous to the conversion. Under provisions of ASC Topic 815-40, this revised conversion triggered derivative accounting treatment because the convertible note was convertible into an indeterminable number of shares of common stock. The fair value of the embedded conversion option was required to be presented as a derivative liability and adjusted to fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operation.

 

 
16

 

  

At the time of the revised conversion provision, the Company recognized a derivative liability of $107,187 with a discount offset against the underlying loan. In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a $47,717 non-cash charge to interest expense (reflective of debt discount amortization), and $595 of derivative income related to adjusting the derivative liability to fair value.

 

The Company calculates the estimated fair values of the liabilities for derivative instruments at each quarter-end using the BSM option pricing model and Monte Carlo simulations. The closing price of the Company’s common stock at August 13, 2013 and September 30, 2013 was $.074 and $.059, respectively. Volatility, expected term and risk free interest rates used to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities are indicated in the table below. The volatility was based on historical volatility, the expected term is equal to the remaining term of the debt and the risk free rate is based upon rates for treasury securities with the same term.

 

Volatility

    86 %     -       102 %

Risk Free Rate

    0.02 %     -       0.08 %

Expected Term (years)

    0.1       -       0.6  

Dividend Rate

            0%          

 

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In October 2013, the Company received notice from several unaffiliated shareholders, that they had purchased approximately $50,000 in 12% uncollateralized demand notes from a trust that had loaned the Company $153,000 in 2012. In exchange for these demand notes, the Company issued to these holders four new 12 month 12% interest promissory notes, convertible into common stock at $.04 per share. Shortly thereafter, the holders converted an aggregate of approximately $57,000 of the new notes and interest into 1,421,713 shares of common stock.

 

In October 2013, the Company received notice from a fund that had previously provided $200,000 in 12% convertible promissory notes, that it was electing to convert up to $100,000 of that note into common stock at a price equal to 70% of the lowest closing price of the Company’s stock in the previous 20 trading days. To date, this conversion has amounted to 1,950,000 shares valued at approximately $60,000.

Overview

 

The Company is engaged in the research and development of all-fuel, eco-friendly engine technologies. Several prototypes of these engines are nearing completion with one model (the WHE) currently expected to go into limited production by early 2014. Management believes that sales of these engines could ramp-up in 2014. While the Company started to generate revenue as early as 2008, it has not had material or consistent revenue in each of the last two fiscal years. In order for the Company to maintain and expand its operations through the next 12 months, with a focus on its engine commercialization program, management will seek license and development agreements that provide up-front or milestone payment revenue to the Company, and continue to raise capital by means of equity or debt offerings.

 

With respect to its financing endeavors, in the first nine months of 2013 the Company closed three material transactions:

 

In April through August, the Company closed $200,000 in promissory notes that are convertible into common stock at the lower of $0.08 per share or 70% of the lowest closing price for the 20 trading days prior to conversion. The notes bear 12% interest with a 10% Original Issuance Discount (OID). As of November 15, 2013, approximately $60,000 of these notes had been converted to common stock.  

 

In June the Company closed a $226,250 convertible promissory note which bears 10% interest with a 9.1% OID. The note matures in July 2014 with monthly repayments of approximately $28,000 starting in late December 2013. The principal amount of the note can be converted by the Company to common stock at a 30% discount to market, or by the lender at a hard conversion floor price of $0.10 per share. The lender also received 565,625 five-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.10 per share. The agreements contained certain price protection and cashless exercise provisions.

 

In August the Company closed a $400,000 senior secured promissory note that bears interest at a stated 12% with a 6% redemption premium. The note matures in 12 months, with monthly repayments of approximately $44,600 starting December 1, 2013. This Note is not convertible into stock unless agreed to by both the Company and the lender, and is collateralized by the Company’s assets.

 

Additionally, with respect to three convertible promissory notes issued in 2012, in March through September 2013, the Company satisfied in full $364,666 of principal and interest due by issuing approximately 5.3 million shares of common stock.  These notes have been retired.

 

The proceeds from the promissory notes issued in 2013, along with certain other smaller equity and debt transactions, have provided a significant portion of the capital needed to carry on the research and development operations of the Company through the first nine months of the year. Additionally, the Company recorded approximately $715,000 in revenue during this period comprised of the following:

 

Under its contract with the U.S. Army / TARDEC (the “U.S. Army Contract”), the Company successfully achieved the two major milestones triggering an aggregate of $503,000 in funding payments from the government. This $1.4 million Phase 1 R&D program involves the development of a highly compact, multi-fuel capable 10kW auxiliary power unit for military combat vehicles, both as an on-board power supply or a dismountable unit for forward operating bases. The final delivery date for engines is being rescheduled to April 30, 2014 by agreement of the two parties, based in part on government delays beyond the control of the Company. Management is currently working with several consulting groups and other partners to pursue Phase 2 funding for this program from public and private sources, which if successful, could generate several million dollars in revenue to the Company over the following years.

 

Under its restated license agreement with Phoenix Power Group (“Phoenix”), the Company recognized $150,000 in revenue by meeting the first critical milestone set forth in the amended agreement. This milestone involved completing revisions to the Company’s WHE engine after a full design analysis by The Ohio State University’s Center for Automotive Research (“OSU CAR”). This project is more fully described below.

 

 
18

 

 

Under its license agreement with Great Wall Alternative Power Systems (“GWAPS”) in China, the Company also recognized $62,500 in revenue. Based on mutual agreement, the parties terminated this license agreement in the third quarter of 2013. GWAPS no longer had the resources available to further its original development and manufacturing strategy. Relations between the parties remain good, and the Company expects to enter into a broader Teaming Agreement with entities affiliated with GWAPS to pursue sales and marketing in China of engines that Cyclone builds for the waste-to-power market. The Company may also seek other licensees in China in its full discretion.

 

Management understands that the future success of the Company is substantially dependent on the commercialization of its engine technology, which it believes will result in strong and consistent sales revenue in the coming periods. Moreover, management has identified the “micro-grid waste-to-power” sector (under 200kW of power output, using waste or exhaust heat as the primary fuel source) as one of several major business opportunities for the Cyclone engines due to their compact, efficient design and great adaptability to run on raw heat sources. Management believes that the Company can achieve considerable market penetration in this area over the following years, as businesses, industrial sites, municipal waste authorities and agricultural concerns gain greater understanding of the necessity and economic benefits of utilizing waste resources more effectively. This potentially represents a multi-billion dollar business in the U.S. alone, with even greater possibilities overseas in rapidly-industrializing and developing nations.

 

The Company has implemented a three-prong plan to advance its engines to commercialization, which includes: (1) securing additional engineering expertise, (2) establishing manufacturing partnerships, and (3) working closely with partners and future customers to integrate and optimize complete power systems. With respect to the Company’s 10 horsepower WHE, which management believes is the closest of its several engine models to “Generation 1” production readiness, this plan is being executed through the 74% owned subsidiary entity Cyclone-WHE (“CWHE”). Substantial progress has been made to date as follows:

 

In July 2013, CWHE commenced work with OSU CAR to perform finite element and dynamic stress analysis of the WHE engine, followed by independent durability testing and validation. OSU CAR, through a distinguished engineering team (including a senior engineer from General Motors), has completed the first phase of this program as of September. The next generation WHE (named the WHE-DR) has been designed and built with their assistance, and durability and performance testing has commenced. The estimated completion date of this program is the end of December 2013.

 

Also in July, CWHE signed a Joint Manufacturing Operations Agreement with Ohio-based Precision CNC, Inc., a high-tech, prototype to production machine shop with which the Company has been working over the past four years. The agreement between CWHE and Precision CNC covers the co-location of engineering, production and assembly space in a new leased facility capable of turning-out at least 1,500 engines per month over the next few years. It also covers the purchase of dedicated CNC machinery to assure quick and accurate turn-around of engine parts; co-employment of certain staff members to decrease costs; and reduced and transparent pricing structures.  As of the current date, the new facility is being prepared for move-in by Precision CNC (estimated in early December), and CWHE is interviewing engineers and other personnel to comprise its Ohio-based manufacturing team.

 

Over the last year, CWHE and Cyclone have signed several important teaming and joint-development agreements with companies that have synergistic capabilities in the waste-to-power market, including biomass gasification, methane production and flaring, and micro-grid electrical power generation. These companies include Enginuity Energy, B&W Constructors, Clean Carbon in Australia, and Phoenix Power.

 

These teaming partners comprise just a few of the future customers for Cyclone’s engines, starting with pilot programs in 2014, and ramping-up to full-scale production and market sales. The Company has employed a wholesale / OEM sales model, whereby it will sell engines to other technology and manufacturing customers such as these companies for use in their “heat producing” equipment. In this way, Cyclone can focus on engine manufacturing and improvements, and choose strong distribution customers to bring final products to market.

Management believes that its strategic program to ready the WHE by the end of this year for limited Generation 1 production will be successful. This is expected to lead to consistent sales revenue of these engines, as well as provide a solid framework for the advancement of its other engine models, including the larger and more sophisticated Mark series of engines. Additionally, such efforts in the commercialization of its engine technology can attract other synergistic partners, funding sources, and governmental program assistance geared toward job creation and manufacturing growth.

 

Non-Cash Derivative Accounting Effect on Deficit and Paid-In Capital.  In 2011, the Company converted and retired 750,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock, which was subject to derivative liability presentation. The Company was required to record the estimated value of the Series A Preferred stock as a long term liability on its balance sheet.  Dependent on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the end of each reporting period, this valuation method either created a non-cash expense or non-cash income, recorded on the Company’s statement of operations for such period. The cumulative net effect of this accounting was to increase the Company’s additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit by approximately $30 million at the time of conversion in May 2011.  There were no effects on the Company’s cash flow or results of operations, and $30 million in investment proceeds (reflected in the $50 million Accumulated Deficit line in the Balance Sheet) were neither collected by the Company nor spent on operations.

 

Stock for Services and Contracts. Despite its limited cash resources, the Company is able to retain engineering, consulting, legal and accounting personnel partially through the issuance of Rule 144 restricted common stock and options. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company, on a consolidated basis issued 7,025,000 shares of common stock to consultants and service providers, which included 2,000,000 shares issued from the holdings of Cyclone-WHE to its contracted service providers. This resulted in a consolidated non-cash charge to the Company of $473,750 in the third quarter.

 

Also in the third quarter, the Company implemented the 2013 Employee Appreciation Stock Pool, under which four of the Company’s officers and upper-level management donated approximately 1.8 million shares of their personal common stock holdings back to the Company, to be issued to non-executive employees based upon their seniority and service to the Company over the previous five years. Each employee received 100,000 shares for the first year of service, 20,000 shares for each additional year up to a total of 200,000 shares. No new shares were issued by the Company, as all stock was previously owned by the four officers. There was, however, a resulting non-cash charge of $145,600 in the third quarter from this transaction.

 

Research & Development. As a research and development company, a material portion of all funds raised or generated through operations are placed back into the R&D activities of the Company. The Company’s R&D expenses were $573,600 for nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

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

  

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

 

 
20

 

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation for interim financial statements have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2012.   

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

 

Revenue. The Company recognized $212,500 in revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2013, of which $150,000 was from the successful fulfillment of the first milestone under the revised Phoenix license. An additional $62,500 was recognized from revenue previously deferred from the Great Wall (China) license upon contract termination. The Company recognized $502,045 of revenue for the comparable period in 2012 from the successful fulfillment of the first milestone under the U.S. Army Contract.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $79,366, the majority of which was from the Great Wall revenue. For the same period in the previous year the Company recognized $168,607 from the U.S. Army Contract.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses incurred for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $777,559 as compared to $782,238 for the same period in the previous year, a reduction of $4,679 (or 1%). Higher general and administrative expenses of $96,425 (or 20%) were reflective of increased legal and professional fees and $145,600 of a non-cash charge for 1.8 million shares of common stock contributed by officers and senior management to the Employee Appreciation Stock Pool. This was offset by a decrease of $70,816 (or 26%) in research and development costs attributable to the reduction of non-essential staff and primary expenditures for contracts to be completed.  

 

Operating Loss. The operating loss for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $698,193 and $613,631, respectively, an increased loss of $84,562 (or 14%), due to the factors outlined above.

 

Other Income (Expense).  Net other expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $173,701, largely due to interest expense (increased debt levels and derivative accounting debt discount amortization). This compares to a net other expense of $127,308 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, fully attributable to interest expense.

 

 
21

 

 

Net Loss and Loss per Share.  The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $871,894, compared to net loss of $740,939 for the same period in the previous year, a higher loss of $130,955 (or 18%). The net loss per weighted average share was $0.00 for both the current quarter and the prior quarter.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

 

Revenue. The Company recognized $715,382 in revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from the successful fulfillment of the first Phoenix milestone ($150,000), the third and fourth milestones under the U.S. Army Contract ($502,882) and recognition of the Great Wall deferred revenue ($62,500). For the comparable period in 2012, the Company recognized $882,490 of revenue, of which $502,045 was from the U.S. Army Contract and $380,445 was from delivery of two engines to Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $286,826, primarily attributable to the U.S. Army Contract. For the same period in the previous year, the Company recognized gross profit of $327,144, reflecting $208,537 profit on the Raytheon contract, $168,607 profit on the U.S. Army Contact, less a $50,000 contract fee pertaining to the original Phoenix license.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $2,024,988 as compared to $2,626,387 for the same period in the previous year, a reduction of $601,399 (or 23%). The majority of the decrease was due to lower general and administrative expenses of $334,448 (or 19%), reflective of the reduced amortization of employee stock options previously issued, and reduced non-essential staff and related costs. The Company also had a decrease of $198,868 (or 26%) in research and development expenses, as more resources were directed to completing contracts.  

   

Operating Loss. The operating losses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1,738,162 and $2,299,243, respectively, a decreased loss of $561,081 or 24%, due to the factors outlined above.

 

Other Income (Expense).  Net other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $383,825 primarily due to interest expense (increased debt levels levels and derivative accounting debt discount amortization) and amortization of warrants issued pursuant to debt. This compares to a net other expense of $101,957 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which was inclusive of interest expense of $190,983 net of a derivative-related gain of $114,626 attributable to the Phoenix warrant.

 

Net Loss and Loss per Share.  The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,120,987, compared to net loss of $2,401,200 for the same period in the previous year, a reduced loss of $280,213 or 12%. The net loss per weighted average share was ($0.01) for both the current and prior periods.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2013, the net working capital deficiency was $3,965,781 as compared to a deficiency of $3,363,256 at December 31, 2012, an increase of $602,525 or 18%.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash increased by $136,167 from the beginning of the year. This is reflective of funds provided by $870,000 of new debt funding, the sale of common stock of $100,000, reduced inventory of $190,683, higher accounts payable and accrued expenses of $159,490, and increased payables and accrued expenses to related parties of $260,136. Funds were used by the net loss of ($2,120,987), debt repayment of $161,922 and a realization of deferred revenue of $210,400. Non-cash charges for the nine months were from the issuance of common stock, warrants and options for services of $577,401, $145,600 pursuant to the use of 1.8 million shares of Company common stock donated by officers/management for employee compensation, and $119,782 of warrants issued pursuant to repayment of debt in common stock.

 

For the nine months ending September 30, 2012, funds were primarily used by the net loss of ($2,401,200), $427,500 for repayment of debt, a decrease in deferred revenue and license deposits of $419,336, and an increase in fixed assets of $69,265. Funds were provided by the net sale of shares of common stock of $738,929, proceeds of $925,000 from promissory notes, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $178,275, and an increase in related party notes, payables and accruals of $254,426. Additionally, to conserve cash the Company issued 2,687,603 shares of common stock and 3,090,000 common stock options for services - a non-cash charge to the Income Statement of $1,002,867 in the 2012 nine-month period.  Also, the Company incurred a non-cash charge of $50,000 (paid with common stock) under its license with Phoenix.

Cash Flow Management Plan

 

The Company incurred substantial operating losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of approximately $1.7 million. Cumulative operating losses since inception are approximately $20 million (inclusive of cash, stock and other equity-related expenses). The Company has a working capital deficit at September 30, 2013 of approximately $3.9 million. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to support its operations on a long term basis. This raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If additional funds cannot be raised or otherwise generated, the Company may be forced to reduce staff, minimize its research and development activities or, in a worst case scenario, shut-down operations.

 

Management’s intentions are focused on revenue from development contracts, license agreements, and sales of products and prototypes, which are forecasted to ramp-up in 2014. We expect to receive about $140,000 from the U.S. Army Contract and another $300,000 from Combilift within the following six months.  Additionally, we have contracts in various stages of negotiation that could generate another $2 million in cash and revenue over the following 12 to 24 months. We are also seeking Phase 2 funding on our U.S. Army Contract which could provide several more million dollars in revenue to the Company over the next 24 months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in closing these new contracts, but we are cautiously optimistic that these or other opportunities will materialize in the coming quarters.

 

We are working with the State of Ohio with respect to the expansion of our manufacturing capabilities there in connection with our partners Precision CNC and OSU CAR.  These discussions could lead to low interest loans and grants from Ohio for machinery purchases, facility expansion and technology development. We submitted applications for these programs in the third quarter, although no assurance can be given that we will be successful in winning a state award.

  

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

 

We expect cash flow needs to be approximately $150,000 per month during the last few months of 2013 due to certain expense reduction steps we have recently taken including temporarily reducing the number of employees who were not directly working on or needed for revenue producing projects.  We believe that monthly expenses will increase to approximately $200,000 after the end of the year. Cash expenses of approximately $2.4 million in 2013 will exceed revenue for the year, which we have managed by pursuing the sale of securities or debt.

 

In the future, no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain capital on acceptable terms, if at all. In such an event, this may have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The Company’s auditors have issued a going concern opinion for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Management is optimistic, however, that revenue can be generated and funding can be secured to maintain operations and development at the current pace.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

  

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

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