ITEM 1.BUSINESS.

General

Vyrex Corporation (“Vyrex” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada in 1991, and operated as a research and development stage company seeking to discover and develop pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals for the treatment and prevention of respiratory, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases and conditions associated with aging (the “Biotech Business”). The Biotech Business was unsuccessful and, as a result, the Company ceased material operations relating to that business in October 2005; however, the Company retained its intellectual property rights and contract rights relating to that business (the “Biotech IP”). On October 17, 2005, the Company reincorporated in Delaware.

On February 11, 2008, Vyrex, PowerVerde, Inc. (“PowerVerde”) and Vyrex Acquisition Corporation (“VAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vyrex, all Delaware corporations, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on February 12, 2008, VAC merged with and into PowerVerde, with PowerVerde remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vyrex (the “Merger”). As consideration for the Merger, as of the closing of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of PowerVerde was converted into the right to receive 1.2053301 shares of the common stock of Vyrex and each share of VAC was converted into one share of PowerVerde common stock. As a result of the Merger, the former shareholders of PowerVerde hold 95% of the common stock of Vyrex. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PowerVerde paid $233,000 in accounts payable and other liabilities owed by Vyrex.

On August 6, 2008, at a special meeting of shareholders, Vyrex’s name was changed to “PowerVerde, Inc.” Simultaneously, the name of our operating company, PowerVerde, Inc., was changed to “PowerVerde Systems, Inc.”

In March 2009, we sold all of the Biotech IP to Dr. Edward Gomez, a pre-Merger investor in PowerVerde and now a shareholder of the Company. In exchange for the assignment of the Biotech IP to him, Dr. Gomez agreed to (i) pay all future costs and expenses relating to the Biotech IP, including, but not limited to, patent fees, license fees and legal fees, and (ii) pay to the Company 20% of all net revenues received from the sale and/or licensing of any of the Biotech IP.

Please note that the information provided below relates to the combined company after the Merger. Since our operations after the Merger consist solely of PowerVerde operations, except where the context otherwise requires, references throughout this Report hereafter to “PowerVerde,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” will mean or refer to PowerVerde’s business and operations.

The Company is a Delaware corporation formed in March 2007 by its two principal owners and officers: George Konrad and Fred Barker.Barker, who remain as officers and directors and are our two largest stockholders. The Company was formed in order to further develop, commercialize and market a series of unique electric generating power systems designed to produce electrical power with zero emissions or waste byproducts, based on a patented pressure-driven motor and related organic pressure-driven cycle components. The design of the motor was conceived by Mr. Barker in January 2001. Mr. Barker previously had a working relationship with Mr. Konrad and enlisted Mr. Konrad and his manufacturing expertise, together with Mr. Barker’s own engineering expertise, to co-develop the motor. As a research and development company, we have tested and continue to test other style drivers as well.

1

An initial prototype of the motor was created and tested in early 2002, and, based on positive test results, Messrs. Barker and Konrad concluded that the concept could lead to a commercial product. A new design was developed in early 2007, which resulted in a motor that produced more torque and horsepower, as well as being easier to mass produce. The prototype was tested extensively, and substantial tooling and engineering with CAM/CNC programming was completed at the facility of Mr. Konrad’s company, Arizona Research and Development (“ARD”), for the possibility of an eventual mass production model.

Based on data learned from these earlier prototypes, PowerVerde has manufactured three 25/50kW motors

and additional next generation motors or drivers as well. The Company has been testing these devices on a more powerful and advanced organic rankinepressure-driven cycle (ORC) currently(OPDC) referred to as an organic pressure-driven cycle (OPDC) designed and built by PowerVerde.the Liberator. During 2009, the Company also built and tested a 100kW pressure-driven motor at another machining and manufacturing facility, Global Machine Works, in Arlington, WA. These two related but distinct systems are designed for two different markets. The 25/50kW system uses low-grade heat (waste heat) as a fuel source, expanding a working fluid thereby driving the motor/generator, while the 100kW system (without ORC)organic rankine cycle (“ORC”) or OPDC systems), uses wasted energy (pressure) from natural gas pipeline and wellhead infrastructures to drive the motor/generator and create electric power.

We are completing the final design and are currently building two next-generation waste heat/solar units capable of producing between 50 and 100 kW’s of electric power. In late 2010, we demonstrated this type of system for several interested parties, including the Department of Engineering of North New Mexico College (NNMC). This successful demonstration resulted in a formal collaboration between PowerVerde and NNMC’s SERPA program. A similar relationship is developing with Arizona State University as well. We hosted this research institution in February 2011, leading to a second presentation held in late March 2011. We anticipate that the manufacture of this new design will be accomplished by the end of 2011. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to successfully complete the final design and testing of our systems or that we will be able to commercialize them and commence sales. Work on our second generation natural gas pipeline/wellhead system is being delayed to focus on our primary market: waste heat/solar or thermal-powered systems.

On January 31, 2011, we entered into a Binding Letter of Intent for European Distribution (the “BLOI”) with Newton Investments BV, a Dutch corporation based in Leeuwarden, Netherlands (“Newton”). Pursuant to the BLOI, we and Newton agreed to enter into a definitive agreement within 60 days (since extended to 90 days), pursuant to which Newton will, for a period of 10 years, be the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the Company’s proprietary emissions-free electrical power generation systems (the “Systems”) in the 27 countries which are currently members of the European Union, subject to Newton achieving minimum sales of at least 100 Systems per year and investing at least $750,000 in establishing its manufacturing facility and distribution network. Pursuant to the BLOI, we will receive as a royalty an amount equal to 20% of the gross sale price of each System sold by Newton. We have authorized Newton to manufacture our Systems under a strict licensing agreement with a Dutch/German foundry and machine shop capable of producing hundreds of units per year. Of the 27 European Union nations, we are initially focusing on the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Scandinavian countries. Newton also agreed to purchase an initial System from us for a discounted price of $90,000. In connection with the BLOI, an affiliate of Newton invested $250,000 in PowerVerde by privately purchasing 333,333 restricted shares of our common stock at a price of $.75 per share. In connection with this purchase, we issued to the investor a three-year warrant to buy an additional 333,333 shares at a price of $.75 per share.

In early 2010, our Board of Directors created two separate product lines: waste heat/solar organic rankine cycle powered systems; and gas pipeline/wellhead waste energy recovery systems. Because the markets and customers for these two systems are entirely different and the design and manufacturing are geographically separate, we believe that this bifurcation will result in a more streamlined and efficient business structure. As noted above,The development of the natural gas pipeline system is beinghas been delayed primarily due to our decision to dedicate our limited human and financial resources to commercialize our waste heat/solar thermal system.system, which we believe has more near term potential.

In January 2011, we entered into a Binding Letter of Intent for European Distribution (the “BLOI”) with Newton Investments BV, a Dutch corporation based in Leeuwarden, Netherlands (“Newton”). Pursuant to the BLOI, Newton purchased one Liberator system for a discounted price of $130,000, which was delivered in July 2011. In September 2011, we entered into a definitive License Agreement with Newton as contemplated by the BLOI. Under the Agreement, Newton will, for a period of 10 years, be the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the our proprietary emissions-free electrical power generation systems (the “Systems”) in the 27 countries which are currently members of the European Union, subject to Newton achieving minimum sales of at least 100 Systems per year, beginning in the second year of the Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, we are entitled to a royalty equal to 20% of the gross sale price of each System sold by Newton. We have authorized Newton to manufacture our Systems under a strict licensing agreement with a Dutch foundry and machine shop, Autonational BV, based in Ijlst, Netherlands, and capable of producing hundreds of units per year. Of the 27 European Union nations, we are initially focusing on the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the Scandinavian countries.

In March 2009, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Keahole Solar Power LLC (“KSP”), a subsidiary of Sopogy, Inc. (“Sopogy”), based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Sopogy has developed a modular and scalable solar energy solution designed for on-site energy generation in the range of 250kW-20MW. The LOI reflects the parties’ intent to work together on development of smaller Sopogy systems in the 50kW to 500kW range. Under the terms contemplated by the LOI, we would install a 25/50kW PowerVerde motor for use at KSP’s solar thermal power generation facility at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii located in Kona, Hawaii. We would operate the system and the parties would share performance data for five years. After twothree years of working with Sopogy, we believe that the contemplated 25/50kW system may be too small for Sopogy’s market, and designs for up to a 250kW system have been developed; however, these designs are still in the early stages. While we are optimistic about our relationship with Sopogy and KSP, there can be no assurance that we will ever enter into a definitive agreement with Sopogy or KSP, that we will ever install our motor as contemplated in the LOI or that we will ever generate any revenues from this relationship.

In November 2011, we entered into a binding letter of intent for the acquisition of all of the membership interests in Cornerstone Conservation Group LLC, Scottsdale, Arizona (“Cornerstone”). The acquisition was consummated pursuant to a definitive agreement executed in March 2012. Cornerstone’s main asset is its proprietary Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (“CCHP”) technology, which utilizes waste heat from commercial and residential heating, ventilation air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVACR”) systems. Cornerstone also has substantial experience and technology relating to geothermal or ground source heat pumps.

As consideration for the Cornerstone acquisition, we issued (i) a total of 2,250,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Cornerstone’s members, Bryce Johnson (“Johnson”), Paul Kelly (“Kelly”) and Vincent Hils (“Hils”) in the amounts of 1,575,000, 337,500 and 337,500 shares, respectively, (ii) 10,000 restricted shares to a Cornerstone employee, and (iii) three-year warrants to purchase 150,000 shares each to Johnson and Kelly at exercise prices of $2.00-$4.00 per share. In November 2011, Johnson joined our Board of Directors, and in January 2012 we moved our operations to a facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, owned by Johnson. See “Item 2 - Properties.” Johnson also became our chief operating officer in January 2012.

We believe that Cornerstone’s technology is very complementary to PowerVerde’s platform and existing markets – mainly through the conversion of thermal energy into electric power generation. While we believe that the Cornerstone acquisition brings substantial opportunities for synergy, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will prove successful.

Our focus for the remainder of 2012 is on working with Newton and Autonational to commercialize our waste heat solar power systems in Europe. We plan to complete our development and testing by the summer of 2012 and have a market-ready system by the end of 2012; however, there can be no assurance that we will meet this timetable or ever have a market-ready system. We and Newton continue discussions with certain manufacturers of integrated components and service providers in the oil, natural gas manufacturing industries, methane plants, as well as with electric utility companies and government entities. There can be no assurance that any manufacturing, distribution or marketing agreements will be successfully consummated or executed or that we will ever achieve material sales in Europe or elsewhere.

Employees

We currently have three full-time employees, Messrs. Keith Johnson, Mark Prinz and Les Hetrick, all based in Scottsdale, Arizona. All of these employees were hired in 2011.

Patents

Barker and Konrad and the Company’s predecessor, PowerVerde, LLC, permanently and exclusively assigned to PowerVerde all rights to the patent and the other intellectual property relating to the PowerVerde systems. On July 16, 2008, Messrs. Barker and Konrad filed U.S. Patent application No. 61/081,298 for a “system to produce electricity using waste energy in natural gas pipelines.” This application was assigned to the Company; however, it was abandoned in 2009 because we decided to replace it with a new and improved provisional patent application regarding the natural gas pipeline technology. Mr. Barker filed on behalf of PowerVerde a new provisional patent application regarding this technology on April 7, 2010. On October 17, 2008, Mr. Konrad and Mr. Brian K. Gray filed U.S. Patent application No. 12/253,580 for a “low temperature organic rankine cycle system.” This application was assigned to the Company. There can be no assurance that this patentthese patents will be issued.issued or maintained.

In late 2010, we began filing several provisional patents covering our new organic pressure-driven cycle technology. In January 2011, we hired the inventor of this technology, Keith Johnson, as a specialist in advanced pressure-driven systems. He has assigned to PowerVerde his patent application in this field, U.S. Patent Application 61/424,249 filed on December 17, 2010. There can be no assurance that these patents will be issued.issued or maintained.

Pursuant to the end of 2011 orCornerstone acquisition, we acquired all rights to U.S. Patent Application No. 12,749,416 filed on March 29, 2010, entitled “Solar Photovoltaic Closed Fluid Loop Evaporation Tower.” This application was filed by Bryce Johnson as inventor and assigned to Cornerstone in connection with the first quarter of 2012, we plan to manufacture (directly or through contractors) and market our waste heat/solar power systems to end users in the U.S. market. Meanwhile, we expect Newton to proceed with commercialization in the European market. We continue discussions with certain manufacturers of integrated components and service providers in the oil, natural gas and manufacturing industries, as well as with electric utility companies.acquisition. There can be no assurance that any manufacturing, distribution or marketing agreementsthis patent will be successfully consummated.issued or maintained.

We currently have two full-time employees, Messrs. Johnson and Gray, both hired in January 2011. Mr. Gray has requested to change his engagement with us from an employment relationship to a part-time consulting relationship to accommodate his schedule.

We expect to make this changefile additional patent applications pertaining to our advanced organic pressure driven cycle later in April 2011.2012. There can be no assurances that we will be able to do so or that any patents will be issued based on these applications.

Product Description

The 2007 advanced generation PowerVerde motor, with its related organic rankine cycle (ORC) system, produced 10kW of net power. Our larger 25/50kW waste heat/solar design is a next generation system This system was designed to be installed in single- or multiple-stacked units for businesses, factories,or any waste heat or solar application such asschools, hospitals, ships and other users of electric power. These non-combustion motors are fueled by heat, via an ORC related system, and create a pressure source powering the PowerVerde motor/generator while emitting zero carbon emissions or waste stream byproducts. This system operates with relatively low pressure (100-300psi) producing substantial torque and horsepower. The second PowerVerde system is designed to operate on wellhead or natural gas pipeline infrastructure and lacks the ORC component, but uses wasted latent energy (pressure) inherent in “city gate” letdowns or wellheads as its fuel source. Both systems are designed to operate on pressure. The latter system is designed to operate on relatively high pressure (1000 psi) associated with pipeline or wellhead infrastructure. The PowerVerde gas expansion and pressure driven motors have been tested over the past threeseveral years, and we believe have demonstrated the durability and reliability necessary to function as commercial renewable electric power generation systems. As noted above, in 2008, we decided to scale the ORC waste heat/solar system to 25/50kW and the natural gas pressure motor (without ORC) to 100kW. We anticipate, and have designed systems, that will be scaled even larger in the future.In 2011 we enhanced our pressure cycle to a unique and proprietary cycle called organic pressure driven cycle (OPDC). We believe that our systems can deliver more pressure with less heat than our predecessor ORC system.

Our ORC or OPDC system requires:

 

A heat source (solar, waste heat, geothermal or bio-mass);
An organic rankine cycle (ORC) or organic pressure driven cycle (OPDC) style system to convert heat into pressure;
PowerVerde patented motor to convert the pressure into horsepower; and
A generator to convert the horsepower into electricity.

A heat source (solar, waste heat, geothermal or bio-mass);

4

 

An Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) style system to convert heat into pressure;

PowerVerde patented motor to convert the pressure into horsepower; and

A generator to convert the horsepower into electricity.

We have built and tested the 25/50kW and ORC system, and OPDC systems, and we believe that the overall design meets or exceeds performance parameters. We believe that we have successfully enhanced the system’s power capacity to as much as 50kW or more of gross electrical power.

Index to Financial Statements

PowerVerde’sOur other electric power system, the gas pressure motor, is engineered to operate on any adequate pressure source without an ORC system. This 100kW system expands wasted energy or pressure from natural gas pipelines or wellheads into mechanical energy and requires:

 

Natural Gas Pipeline or Natural Gas utility infrastructure, specifically “City Gates” or gas wellheads;

Natural Gas Pipeline or Natural Gas utility infrastructure, specifically “City Gates” or gas wellheads;
Any adequate wellhead or pressure release infrastructure such as pumping stations;
PowerVerde’s patented engine to convert the pressure into horsepower; and
A generator to convert the horsepower into electricity.

 

Any adequate wellhead or pressure release infrastructure such as pumping stations;

PowerVerde’s patented engine to convert the pressure into horsepower; and

A generator to convert the horsepower into electricity.

We have built a 100kW system and hope to build a next generation 150kW system in the future. It is anticipated the first commercial beta test will be delayed until 2012, focusing2013, as our efforts have been focused on the waste heat/solar markets throughoutsince 2011.

Government Regulations and Incentives

We believe that the time is right for the PowerVerde systems. Regulatory proposals to limit greenhouse gases are moving forward.forward, particularly in Europe. One such measure would be a carbon tax placed on fuels in proportion to their carbon content. Another would be a tax on oil. Yet another would be a “cap and trade” system. All of these would drive up the price of electricity from fossil fuel sources, yet have no impact on carbon-free renewable sources such as those offered by us; however, due to the weak economy and strong political opposition, there can be no assurance that any of these measures will be implemented.

Governments, utilities, businesses, and consumers alike are acutely aware of the negative effects of pollution and use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuel-based emissions contribute to serious health and environmental conditions such as acid rain, particulate pollution, nitrogen deposition, and global climate change. Consequently, government agencies in the United States and Europe at the federal, statenational, state/provincial and local levels have implemented and proposed various economic incentives in the form of tax credits, rebates, deductions, accelerated depreciation and other subsidies designed to enhance the use of energy-efficient and clean power sources. We believe that these incentives will have a substantial positive impact on demand for the PowerVerde systems; however, there can be no assurance that, even with these incentives, our systems will be economically competitive or that the incentives will continue to be available.

We have applied and continue to apply for federal grants, loans and/or other programs designed to assist development of renewable “green” energy sources, including incentives provided in the U.S. Government’s economic stimulus package approved in February 2009, and we have previously retained specialized consultants to assist in this endeavor; however, we have not been successful in these ongoing efforts, and there can be no assurance that we will ever receive any governmental assistance.

Competition

We face substantial competition from numerous other companies, most of whom have financial and other resources substantially greater than ours. Our competition is worldwide, ranging from solo inventors and small businesses all the way to major utility companies and multinational corporations, all of whom are attempting to design, develop and market clean and efficient methods for the generation and delivery of electricity. This competition is expected to increase due to pressures arising from anticipated high prices of oil and natural gas,fossil fuels, environmental concerns and the increased availability of governmental incentives and subsidies. These competitors may prove more successful in offering similar products and/or may offer alternative products which prove superior in performance and/or more popular with potential customers than our products. Our ability to commercialize our products and grow and achieve profitability in accordance with our business plan will depend on our ability to satisfy our customers and withstand increasing competition by providing high-quality products at reasonable prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or maintain a successful competitive position.

ITEM 1A.1ARISK FACTORS.

Investing in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties and all other information contained or referred to in this Report before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important factors that affect us. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by some or all of the matters described below or other currently unknown factors. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all of your investment.

Risks Related to General Economic Conditions

The current general economic and market conditions and the volatility and disruption in the financial and capital markets has impacted us and could materially and adversely affect our business and financial results in future periods.

The United States economy continues to suffer from very unfavorable economic conditions, including a weak recovery from a severe recession in the general economy which continues to impair the banking system and the financial markets, all accompanied by huge federal and state budget deficits and a ballooning national debt. These negative conditions could persist or become even worse. General economic conditions have deteriorated due to reduced credit resulting from weak economic conditions, resulting in slower economic activity, concerns about inflation, deflation and government debt and deficits, volatility in energy prices, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns in our markets and other adverse effects on our potential customers and markets. These poor economic conditions continue to make it very difficult for us to raise the capital we need to complete the development and testing of our products so that we can begin sales. In the event that we are able to begin sales of our products, these poor economic conditions may adversely affect our business and our financial condition and results of operations by extending the length of the sales cycle and causing potential customers to delay, defer or decline to make purchases of our products due to limitations on their capital expenditures and the adverse effects of the economy and the credit markets on them.

The weak economy is projected by many economic experts to continue or deteriorate further throughout 20112012 or longer. These conditions may make it extremely difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of this current weak economy or of a subsequent economic recovery, or the effects thereof on our customers and our markets. Our results of operations may be negatively impacted in future periods and experience substantial fluctuations from period to period as a consequence of these factors, and such conditions and other factors affecting capital spending may affect the timing of orders from major customers. These factors could adversely affect our ability to meet our capital requirements, support our working capital requirements and growth objectives, maintain our existing or secure new financing arrangements, or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

6

An increase in interest rates or lending rates or tightening of the supply of capital in the global financial markets could make it difficult for end-users to finance the cost of a PowerVerde system and could reduce the demand for our products and/or lead to a reduction in the average selling price for our products.

We believe that, in the event that we are able to commercialize our products, many of our end-users will depend on debt financing to fund the initial capital expenditure required to purchase and install a PowerVerde system. As a result, an increase in interest rates or lending rates could make it difficult for our end-users to secure the financing necessary to purchase and install PowerVerde systems on favorable terms, or at all and thus lower demand and reduce our net sales. Due to the overall economic outlook, our end-users may change their decision or change the timing of their decision to purchase and install PowerVerde systems. In addition, we believe that a significant percentage of our end-users will install PowerVerde systems as an investment, funding the initial capital expenditure through a combination of equity and debt. An increase in interest rates and/or lending rates could lower an investor’s return on investment in PowerVerde systems, or make alternative investments more attractive relative to PowerVerde systems, and, in each case, could cause these end-users to seek alternative investments. A reduction

Index to Financial Statements

in the supply of project debt financing or equity investments could reduce the number of our projects that receive financing and thus lower demand for PowerVerde system.

Reduced growth in or the reduction, elimination or expiration of government subsidies, economic incentives and other support for renewable energy-sourced electricity applications could reduce demand for our systems.

Reduced growth in or the reduction, elimination or expiration of government subsidies, economic incentives and other support for renewable-sourced electricity may result in the diminished competitiveness of our systems relative to conventional and non-renewable sources of energy, and could materially and adversely affect our business.

Electric utility companies or generators of electricity from fossil fuels or other renewable energy sources could also lobby for a change in the relevant legislation in their markets to protect their revenue streams. Reduced growth in or the reduction, elimination or expiration of government subsidies and economic incentives for renewable electricity generation applications, especially those in our target markets, could cause our net sales to decline and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Existing regulations and policies and changes to these regulations and policies may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of our renewable electricity generation systems, which may significantly reduce demand for our systems.

The market for electricity generation products is heavily influenced by foreign, federal, state and local government regulations and policies concerning the electric utility industry, as well as policies promulgated by electric utilities. These regulations and policies often relate to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation. In the United States and in a number of other countries, these regulations and policies have been modified in the past and may be modified again in the future. These regulations and policies could deter end-user purchases of our systems.

We anticipate that our systems and their installation will be subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with national and local ordinances relating to building codes, safety, environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering and related matters. It is difficult to track the requirements of individual states and design equipment to comply with the varying standards. Any new government regulations or utility policies pertaining to our systems may result in significant additional expenses to us and our potential customers and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for our systems.

Risks Related to Our Business

We need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our business.

We will need to raise promptly substantial additional funds. Without such additional funds, we may have to cease operations. We will require substantial additional funding for our contemplated research and development activities, commercialization of our products and ordinary operating expenses. Adequate funds for these purposes may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us, especially due to the ongoing weak economy. Insufficient funds may require us to delay or scale back our activities or to cease operations.

We face substantial competition in our industry, and we may be unable to attract customers and maintain a viable business.

We face substantial competition from numerous other companies, most of whom have financial and other resources substantially greater than ours. Our competition is worldwide, ranging from solo inventors and small businesses all the way to major utility companies and multinational corporations, all of whom are attempting to design, develop and market clean and efficient methods for the generation and delivery of electricity. This competition is expected to increase due to pressures arising from anticipated high prices of oil and natural gas,fossil fuels, environmental concerns and the availability of governmental incentives and subsidies. These competitors may prove more successful in offering similar products and/or may offer alternative products which prove superior in

Index to Financial Statements

performance and/or more popular with potential customers than our products. Our ability to commercialize our products and grow and achieve profitability in accordance with our business plan will depend on our ability to satisfy our customers and withstand increasing competition by providing high-quality products at reasonable prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or maintain a successful competitive position.

Our success is dependent on the services of our key management and personnel.

Our success will depend in large part upon the skill and efforts of our founders, and executive officers, George Konrad and Fred Barker, and other key personnel hired or who may be hired, including our chief operating officer Bryce Johnson, and our system specialists, Keith Johnson and Brian Gray.Mark Prinz. Loss of any such personnel, whether due to resignation, death, and disability or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, Messrs. Konrad, Barker and GrayBryce Johnson do not intend to work for PowerVerde on a full-time basis, as they have substantial other business activities. They intend to dedicate the time they deem appropriate to meet PowerVerde’s needs; however, there can be no assurance that they will be willing or able to dedicate such time and attention as would maximize PowerVerde’s chances for success.

We have a limited operating history.

We have only a limited operating history. We have yet to generate any material revenues, as we have sold only one system, in a discounted sale to Newton, and the commercial value of our products is uncertain. There can be no assurance that we will ever be profitable. Further, we are subject to all the risks inherent in a new business including, but not limited to: intense competition; lack of sufficient capital; loss of protection of proprietary technology and trade secrets; difficulties in commercializing its products, managing growth and hiring and retaining key employees; adverse changes in costs and general business and economic conditions; and the need to achieve product acceptance, to enter and develop new markets and to develop and maintain successful relationships with customers, third party suppliers and contractors.

8

We may have difficulty in protecting our intellectual property and may incur substantial costs to defend ourselves in patent infringement litigation.

We rely primarily on a combination of trade secrets, patents, copyright and trademark laws, and confidentiality procedures to protect our proprietary technology, which is our principal asset.

Our ability to compete effectively will depend to a large extent on our success in protecting our proprietary technology, both in the United States and abroad. There can be no assurance that (i) any patentpatents that we have applied or apply for will be issued, (ii) any patents issued, including our existing U.S. Patent No. 6,840,151, on which our current products are based, will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, (iii) that we will have the financial resources to enforce our patents or (iv) the patent rights granted will provide any competitive advantage. We could incur substantial costs in defending any patent infringement suits or in asserting our patent rights, including those granted by third parties, and we might not be able to afford such expenditures.

We have limited protection over our trade secrets and know-how.

Although we have entered into confidentiality and invention agreements with our key personnel, there can be no assurance that these agreements will be honored or that we will be able to protect our rights to our non-patented trade secrets and know-how effectively. There can be no assurance that competitors will not independently develop substantially equivalent or superior proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and know-how.

We may be unable to obtain required licenses from third-parties for product development.

We may be required to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from third parties. If we do not obtain required licenses, we could encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring these licenses could be foreclosed.

Index to Financial Statements

The reduction, elimination or unavailability of contemplated government incentives may force our business plan to be changed and may materially adversely affect our business.

Our business plan relies to a significant extent on the availability of substantial federal, state and local governmental incentives for the development, production and purchase of energy-saving, environmentally-friendly products such as our systems. These incentives include, among others, tax deductions, tax credits, rebates, accelerated depreciation and government loans, grants and other subsidies. There can be no assurance that some or all of these incentives will not be substantially reduced or eliminated, nor can there be any assurance that any currently proposed incentives will actually take effect. Similarly, there can be no assurance that we will ever receive any government loans, grants or other subsidies.

Lower energy prices may hinder our ability to attract customers and be profitable.

Our products are energy-efficient electric generators which compete primarily with conventional oil and natural gas-generatedfossil fuel-generated electricity produced and delivered by conventional utility companies. A significant decrease in the price of oil and/or natural gas could therefore materially adversely affect our competitive position. We were adversely affected by the substantial drop in oil and natural gas prices following the onset of the financial crisis in September 2008. While theseoil prices have risen substantially in recent months due to increased global demand, Middle East tension and inflation fears, they remain well below their pre-crisis peaks.peaks, Natural gas prices have decreased substantially in recent months due to increased supply. A repeat of substantial and sustained decreases in these prices, as experienced in 2008 and 2009, could be very detrimental to our business.

9

We may be unable to purchase materials and parts on commercially reasonable terms from suppliers.

If we are unableable to commercialize our systems, our success will depend to a large extent on our ability to obtain a reliable supply of materials and parts from our suppliers on commercially reasonable terms. This may not prove possible due to competition, inflation, shortages, international crises, adverse economic and political conditions and business failures of suppliers or other reasons.

Our insurance may not provide adequate coverage.

Although we maintain general and product liability, property and commercial crime insurance coverage which we consider prudent, there can be no assurance that such insurance will prove adequate in the event of actual casualty losses or broader calamities such as terrorist attacks, earthquakes, financial crises, economic depressions or other catastrophic events, which are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

We may be unable to obtain or maintain insurance for our commercial products.

The design, development and manufacture of our products involve an inherent risk of product liability claims and associated adverse publicity. There can be no assurance we will be able to obtain or maintain insurance for any of our proposed commercial products. Such insurance is expensive, difficult to obtain and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms or at all. We are also exposed to product liability claims in the event the use of our proposed products result in injury.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock; Liquidity Risks

Our stock price is highly volatile.

The market prices for securities of emerging and development stage companies such as ours have historically been highly volatile, and our limited history has reflected this volatility. Difficulty in raising capital as well as future announcements concerning us or our competitors, including the results of testing, technological innovations or new commercial products, government regulations, developments concerning proprietary rights, litigation or public concern as to safety of potential products developed by us or others, may have a significant adverse impact on the market price of our stock.

Index to Financial Statements

We do not pay dividends on our common stock, and we have no intention to do so in the future.

For the near-term, we intend to retain remaining future earnings, if any, to finance our operations and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends with respect to our common stock or may be unable to sell at a fair price.

There has been limited trading in our stock.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “PWVI.” Since our February 2008 Merger with our predecessor Vyrex Corporation, our stock has been thinly traded, and no assurance can be given as to when, if ever, an active trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares of our common stock.

10

We may issue additional shares of our stock which may dilute the value of our stock.

Shares which we issue pursuant to private placements generally may be sold in the public market after they have been held for six months, pursuant to Rule 144. The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market under Rule 144 or otherwise could materially adversely affect the prevailing market prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities.

We may issue shares of preferred stock that could defer a change of control or dilute the interests of holders of our common stock shareholders.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, voting rights, redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any series of preferred stock. The issuance of any series of preferred stock having rights superior to those of the common stock may result in a decrease in the value or market price of the common stock and could further be used by the Board of Directors as a device to prevent a change in control favorable to the Company. Holders of preferred stock to be issued in the future may have the right to receive dividends and certain preferences in liquidation and conversion rights. The issuance of such preferred stock could make the possible takeover of the Company or the removal of management of the Company more difficult, and adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holder of the common stock, or depress the market price of the common stock.

Our common stock is covered by SEC “penny stock” rules which may make it more difficult for you to sell or dispose of our common stock.

Since we have net tangible assets of less than $1,000,000, transactions in our securities are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by this Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, this Rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any non-NASDAQ equity security of a small company that has a market price (as therein defined) less than $5.00 per share, or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share subject to certain exceptions, and which is not traded on any exchange or quoted on NASDAQ. For any transaction by broker-dealers involving a penny stock (unless exempt), the rules require delivery, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about compensation payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in an account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

ITEM 2.PROPERTIES.

We do not own any real property. Through December 31, 2010, we shared use of a full-service machining and manufacturing facility located at 21615 N. 2nd Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona, owned by Arizona Research and Development, Inc. (“ARD”), a company wholly-owned by George Konrad, the Company’s co-founder and President and Chief Executive Officer.co-founder. We paid monthly rent to ARD in addition to our proportional share of the facility’s utilities. The lease terms with ARD were month to month and renewed monthly. No formal rent or lease agreement existed between ARD and the Company. Effective January 2011, we entered into a lease agreement with Konrad Holdings, LLC, a limited liability company wholly-owned by Mr. Konrad, for the use of approximately 5,000 square feet of ourhis new facility located at 23429 N. 35th Drive, Glendale, Arizona (the “Facility”) at a monthly base rent of approximately $3,500.$4,400. The term of this agreement iswas one year. On January 1, 2012 our Board of Directors agreed to end the rental agreement with ARD and moved our operations to a 5,000 foot facility owned by our Director and Chief Operating Officer Bryce Johnson located at 7595 E. Gray Rd. Scottsdale, Arizona. We expect to substantially increase our use of the Facilitythis facility by the end of 2011,2012, and we believe that the Facilityfacility will be adequate to satisfy our needs through that time; however, in the event that we begin material sales, we may needtime. We intend to move tonegotiate with Mr. Johnson a larger facility.lease on fair market terms.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In connection with the February 12, 2008 Merger, Vyrex sold the following securities without registering the securities under the Securities Act: (i) 24,588,734 shares of common stock issued to former PowerVerde shareholders in connection with the Merger, (ii) 250,000 shares issued on February 11, 2008 to Don Leach in payment of Vyrex’s March 10, 2003, $200,000 promissory note held by him, (iii) 20,000 shares issued on February 11, 2008, to Richard G. McKee, Jr. for consulting services, and (iv) 5,000 shares issued on February 11, 2008, to Mary Jane Dean for financial and administrative services. These shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements under Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

All of PowerVerde’s sales of unregistered securities since inception have been made pursuant to private offerings to accredited investors. These sales, which are set forth below, were made pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements under Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Except as otherwise noted below, we paid a placement agent fee of 10% of the gross price of each offering to Martinez-Ayme Securities (“MAS”), and net proceeds were used for working capital.

From June through August 2007, PowerVerde sold to accredited investors in a private placement 4,000,000 shares of common stock (equal to 4,821,320 shares post-Merger) at a price of $.125 per share, yielding gross proceeds of $500,000.

Index to Financial Statements

From September 2007 to January 2008, PowerVerde sold to accredited investors in a private placement 400,000 shares of common stock (equal to 482,132 shares post-Merger) at a price of $.50 per share, yielding gross proceeds of $200,000.

From April through July 2008, PowerVerde completed a private placement of $250,000 in principal amount of Series A Promissory Notes (the “Notes”). The Notes were due on July 31, 2009, and bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum. In consideration for the purchase of the Notes, each investor received three-year warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (25,000 shares for each $25,000 invested).

From March through October 2009, we raised $950,000 through private placements of an aggregate of 1,266,667 shares of our common stock to accredited investors at $.75 per share. The net proceeds from these offerings were $865,000. The Company paid a placement agent fee of 10% to MAS with respect to $625,000 of the gross proceeds, a finder’s fee of 6% and a placement agent fee to MAS of 4% with respect to $250,000, and there was no placement agent fee or finder’s fee with respect to $100,000 of these proceeds. The net proceeds of these offerings were used (i) to pay $81,500 principal amount of our Series A Promissory Notes due July 31, 2009, together with $8,717 in accrued interest thereon; (ii) to pay in full a $50,000 loan made by our founder and CEO,co-founder, George Konrad, to the Company in 2008 (See “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.”);2008; and (iii) for working capital.

13

The remaining $168,500 principal amount of Notes, together with accrued interest thereon of $20,761, was converted in July 2009 into 378,521 shares of our common stock, reflecting a conversion price of $.50 per share.

In October 2009, we issued 75,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $56,250, to Del Mar Corporate Consulting, LLC (the “Consultant”) pursuant to a Market Awareness Consulting Agreement, dated October 20, 2009. Pursuant to this agreement, we also paid the Consultant $25,000 upon signing; however, we have declined to pay the additional $25,000 due under this agreement due to our belief that the Consultant has failed to perform under this agreement. We have also asserted an unresolved claimclaimed that the Consultant iswas entitled to only 12,500 of the 75,000 shares due to its failure to perform. In November 2011, we received a lawsuit by Del Mar. All of Del Mar’s claims were settled in exchange for payment of $32,500 in December 2011. All 75,000 disputed shares were returned to us and cancelled.

During 2010, we raised gross proceeds of $330,000 through the private placement of 439,999 shares of our common stock to accredited investors at $.75 per share, $85,000 of which was raised in the first quarter through the private placement of 113,333 shares, $130,000 of which was raised in the second quarter through the private placement of 173,333 shares, $75,000 of which was raised in the third quarter through the private placement of 100,000 shares, and $40,000 of which was raised in the fourth quarter through the private placement of 53,333 shares. Each investor received a three-year warrant to purchase stock at $.75 per share for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares purchased by the investor in this offering.

During the first quarter of 2011, we raised gross proceeds of $1,000,000 through the private placement of 1,333,333 shares of our common stock to accredited investors at $0.75 per share. Each investor received a three-year warrant to purchase stock at $.75 per share for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares purchased by the investor in this offering. The $1,000,000 included $250,000 purchased by a Newton affiliate in conjunction with the Newton BLOI, as noted above. We paid a placement agent fee

During the second quarter of 10% to MAS with respect to the2011, we raised gross proceeds of $500,000 through the private placement of 666,667 shares of common stock to accredited investors at $0.75 per share. Each investor received a three-year warrant to purchase stock at $0.75 per share for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares purchased by the investor in this offering.

 

In the first quarter of 2012, we raised an additional $500,000 exclusively from accredited European investors (including $275,000 from a Newton affiliate) pursuant to a private placement of 500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. There was no warrant issued pursuant to this round; however, simultaneously Newton affiliates received three-year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares at $1.00 per share in connection with the settlement of certain claims by and between PowerVerde and Newton.

ITEM 7.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

Index to Financial Statements

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements of PowerVerde, Inc. are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that effect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

We adopted the Standards in FASB ASC Topic 740 regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The standard prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 2010 and 2010,2011, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2010.2011.

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

Revenue RecognitionRecognition

Sales revenues and associated cost of sales are recognized when title of the goods sold pass to the buyer, when shipped, and when accounts receivable are determined to be reasonably collectable. Certain sales agreements also require installation and training by PowerVerde once goods are received and accepted by the customer. The Company defers all revenues and costs of sales until the agreement is 100% complete.

Licensing and royalty revenue from royalty agreements is recognized in accordance with the terms of the specific agreement, which generally includes a quarterly minimum payment by the licensee.

15

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815-10). Based on the provisions of ASC 815-10, the Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).

Overview

From January 1991 until October 2005, the Company devoted substantially all of its efforts and resources to research and development related to its unsuccessful Biotech Business, in particular the study of biological oxidation and antioxidation directed to the development of potential therapeutic products for the treatment of various diseases and conditions. In the most recent years, the Company’s research focused mainly on targeted antioxidant therapeutics and nutraceuticals. The Company is a development stage company, has never generated any substantial revenue from product sales and has relied primarily on equity financing, licensing revenues, and various debt instruments for its working capital. The Company has been unprofitable since its inception.

Following the cessation of material Biotech Business operations in October 2005, the Company turned its primary focus to seeking an appropriate merger partner for its public shell. This resulted in the February 2008 Merger with Vyrex. In March 2009, we assigned our Biotech intellectual property other than our rights under existing licensing agreements (the “Biotech IP”) to an investor in exchange for his agreement to pay all future

Index to Financial Statements

expenses relating to the Biotech IP and to pay us 20% of any net proceeds received from future sale and/or licensing of the Biotech IP. We do not expect this arrangement to generate material revenues.

Since the Merger, we have focused on the development and testing of our electric power systems, and since 2008 we have focused on their applicability to thermal and natural gas pipeline operations. The Company’s business is subject to significant risks, including the risks inherent in our research and development efforts, uncertainties associated with obtaining and enforcing patents and intense competition. See “Risk Factors.”

Except as specifically noted to the contrary, the following discussion relates only to PowerVerde since, as a result of the Merger, the only historical financial statements presented for the Company in periods following the Merger are those of the operating entity, PowerVerde.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

During 2011 and 2010, we focused on the development and testing of our systems, in particular, our next generation waste heat/solar 25/50k WORC, and in 2011 we also focused on developing the European market and our relationship with Newton. We had no material revenues in 2010 — just $33,842 in Biotech IP licensing fees, while in 2011 we generated revenues of $193,391, of which $130,000 was the price of the system sold to Newton, $7,221 was other revenue paid by Newton and $56,170 was Biotech IP licensing fees. In both years, we had substantial expenses due to our ongoing research and development activities, as well as substantial administrative expenses associated with our status as a public company. Our research and development expenses increased by $824,954 (486%) in 2011 as compared to 2010, and our general and administrative expenses increased by $1,429,839 (719%). These increases were due to our substantially increased scale of operations to develop, test and commercialize our systems and our efforts to establish and develop our relationship with Newton. We incurred substantially increased expenses in 2011 for employee/consultant compensation as well as for travel expenses. Our net loss was $2,553,465 in 2011, a 728% increase over the net loss of $308,352 in 2010. The substantial increase in our net loss in 2011 was due to our vigorous efforts to develop our technology and products and implement our business plan. Substantial net losses will continue until we are able to successfully commercialize and market our products, as to which there can be no assurance.

Years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

During 2010 and 2009, we focused on the development and testing of our systems, in particular, our next generation waste heat/solar 25/50kW ORC. We had no material revenues in either year — just $33,842 and $33,860, in Biotech IP licensing fees at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively — while we had substantial expenses due to our ongoing research and development expenses, as well as substantial administrative expenses associated with our status as a public company. Our net loss was $308,352 in 2010 and $890,980 in 2009. The substantial decrease in our net loss in 2010 was due to our general cost-cutting efforts, as well as the absence of interest expense since our investor Notes were paid in full in 2009. Substantial net losses will continue until we are able to successfully commercialize and market our products, as to which there can be no assurance.

Year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

During 2009 and 2008, we focused on the development and testing of our systems, including our next generation waste heat/solar 25/50kW ORC. We had no material revenues in either year — just $33,860 and $23,663, in Biotech IP licensing fees at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively — while we had substantial expenses due to our ongoing research and development expenses, as well as substantial administrative expenses associated with the Merger and our status as a public company. Our net loss was $890,980 in 2009 and $829,956 in 2008. Substantial net losses will continue unless and until we are able to successfully commercialize and market our products, as to which there can be no assurance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception through the sale of debt and equity securities. As of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, we had a working capital deficit of $132,895$128,599 and $123,692,$132,895, respectively.

During 2010, we raised gross proceeds of $330,000 through the private placement of 439,999 shares of our common stock to accredited investors at $.75 per share, $85,000 of which was raised in the first quarter through the private placement of 113,333 shares, $130,000 of which was raised in the second quarter through the private placement of 173,333 shares, $75,000 of which was raised in the third quarter through the private placement of 100,000 shares, and $40,000 of which was raised in the fourth quarter through the private placement of 53,333

shares. Each investor received a three-year warrant to purchase stock at $.75 per share for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares purchased by the investor in this offering.

By the end of 2010, we had spent all of our initial $20,457 cash balance plus the majority of the $330,000 raised during 2010, so that our year-end cash balance was only $15,646, while our accounts payable and accrued expenses were $153,891.

During the first quarter of 2011, we raised gross proceeds of $1,000,000 through the private placement of 1,333,333 shares of our common stock to accredited investors at $0.75 per share. Each investor received a three-year warrant to purchase stock at $.75 per share for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares purchased by the investor in this offering. The $1,000,000 included $250,000 purchased by a Newton affiliate in conjunction with the Newton BLOI, as noted above. We paid a placement agent fee

During the second quarter of 10% to MAS with respect to the2011, we raised gross proceeds of $500,000 through the private placement of 666,667 shares of common stock to accredited investors at $0.75 per share. Each investor received a three-year warrant to purchase stock at $0.75 per share for a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares purchased by the investor in this offering.

In the first quarter of 2012, we raised an additional $500,000 exclusively from accredited European investors (including $275,000 from a Newton affiliate) pursuant to a private placement of 500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. There was no warrant issued pursuant to this round; however, simultaneously Newton affiliates received three-year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares at $1.00 per share in connection with the settlement of certain claims by and between PowerVerde and Newton.

By the end of 2011, we had spent all of our $15,646 opening cash balance plus almost all of the $1,500,000 raised during 2011, so that our year-end cash balance was only $7,530, while our accounts payable and accrued expenses were $179,304. As of the date of this Report, after spending most of the funds raised in the first quarter of 2012, we have only enough cash to finance operations for approximately one month.

We continue to seek more funding from private debt and equity investors, as well as governmental sources, as we will need to promptly raise substantial additional capital in order to finance our plan of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary funds. If we do not raise the necessary funds, we willmay be forced to cease operations.

ITEM 8.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

The financial statements of the Company and other information required by this Item are set forth herein in a separate section beginning with the Index to the Financial Statements on page F-1.

 

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

On January 6, 2011, we were informed by Robert P. Bedwell, CPA of our former auditing firm, Berenfeld, Spritzer, Shechter & Sheer LLP (“Berenfeld”), that Berenfeld had dissolved and Mr. Bedwell had joined Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, L.L.P. (“CBH”), and therefore, Berenfeld could not continue as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Mr. Bedwell’s role as our audit engagement partner, however, has continued uninterrupted at CBH. As a result, CBH has become our independent registered public accounting firm. This change in our independent registered public accounting firm was accepted by our Board of Directors. Additional detailed information concerning this matter was disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on January 13, 2011.

 

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and President, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements.

Index to Financial Statements

All internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding of controls. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time. Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may also fail to prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.2011. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010,2011, our internal controls over financial reporting were effective.

18

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except for the change in our independent registered public accounting firm (described above), there

There were no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 20102011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of
PowerVerde, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheetsheets of PowerVerde, Inc. and Subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”)(the Company), as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statementstatements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the yearyears then ended December 31, 2010 and the period from March 9, 2007 (date(Date of Inception) to December 31, 2010.2011. 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 audit. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations, and who expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated April 14, 2010.audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the period from March 9, 2007 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $308,352 for 2010. At December 31, 2010, current liabilities exceed current assets by $132,895. These factors, and others discussed in Note 2, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Provided below is a copy of the accountant’s report issued by Berenfeld, Spritzer, Schechter & Sheer, LLP (“Berenfeld”), our former independent public accountants, in connection with the filing of our Annual report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.This audit report has not been reissued by Berenfeld in connection with the filing of this Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We are unable to obtain a reissued accountant’s report from Berenfeld, and we will be unable to obtain future accountant’s reports from Berenfeld, because Berenfeld has discontinued its auditing practice and ceased operations. This means that we will also be unable to obtain consents to incorporate any financial statements audited by Berenfeld into registration statements that we may file or amend in the future. Accordingly, investors may not be able to bring an action against Berenfeld pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to any such registration statements or with respect to this Annual Report and, therefore, any recovery from Berenfeld may be limited. The ability of investors to recover from Berenfeld may also be limited as a result of Berenfeld’s financial condition.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

PowerVerde, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of PowerVerde, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company), as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from March 9, 2007 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2009.

PowerVerde, Inc. and Subsidiary

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Except where the context otherwise requires, references throughout this Report hereafter to “PowerVerde,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” will mean or refer to PowerVerde’s business and operations.

Note 1 – Nature of Business

PowerVerde, Inc. (the Company) is a “C” Corporation organized under the Laws of Delaware with operations in Phoenix,Scottsdale, Arizona. The Company hasCompany’s two principal owners whofounders, now its largest shareholders, have conceived and developed the use of a power systems patent. The Company is in the development stage and it is presently undertaking research and development on a power generating system.

On February 11, 2008, Vyrex Corporation (“Vyrex” or the “Company”); PowerVerde, Inc. (“PowerVerde”) and Vyrex Acquisition Corporation (“VAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vyrex, all Delaware corporations, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on February 12, 2008, VAC merged with and into PowerVerde, with PowerVerde remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vyrex (the “Merger”). As consideration for the Merger, as of the closing of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of PowerVerde was converted into the right to receive 1.2053301 shares of the common stock of Vyrex and each share of VAC was converted into one share of PowerVerde common stock. As a result of the Merger, the former shareholders of PowerVerde hold 24,588,734 shares, or 95%, of the common stock of Vyrex. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PowerVerde paid $233,000 in accounts payable and other liabilities owed by Vyrex. The total purchase price of the transaction of $401,894 includes $60,000 of transaction costs related to the Merger.

In addition, immediately prior to execution of the Merger Agreement, Vyrex paid a $200,000 promissory note through the issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock and issued an additional 25,000 shares of common stock as payment for certain consulting and administrative services.

At a stockholder meeting held on August 6, 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved (i) the change of the Company’s name to “PowerVerde, Inc.” and (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed as an exhibit to the Company’s report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Immediately prior to the filing of the Certificate changing the Company’s name, the name of the Company’s operating subsidiary was changed from “PowerVerde, Inc.” to “PowerVerde Systems, Inc.”

Note 2 – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has had recurring operating losses and negative cash flowscashflows from operations. Those factors, as well as uncertainty in securing additional funds for continued operations, create an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that effect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the CompanyPowerVerde, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PowerVerde Systems, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Development Stage Company

The Company is a development stage company as defined in theFinancialAccounting Standards Board (“FASB”)Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, “Development Stage Entities”. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include money market accounts and any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less. At December 31, 20102011 and December 31, 2009,2010, the Company had cash equivalents in the amount of $7,530 and $15,646, respectively. The Company’s bank accounts are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Inventories

Inventories, which consist of finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or market value, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company records reserves for inventory shrinkage and $20,457, respectively.obsolescence, when considered necessary. At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no inventory.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of balances due from sales and royalties. The company monitors accounts receivable and provides allowances when considered necessary. At December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, accounts receivable were considered to be fully collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts was provided.

Revenue Recognition

Sales revenues and associated cost of sales are recognized when title of the goods sold pass to the buyer, when shipped and when accounts receivable are determined to be reasonable collectable. Certain sales agreements also require installation and training by PowerVerde once goods are received and accepted by the customer.

Licensing and royalty revenue from royalty agreements is recognized in accordance with the terms of the specific agreement, which generally includes a quarterly minimum payment by the licensee.agreement.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are capitalized, while replacement, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted forshare-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”)718Share-Based Payments. Under ASC 740, income taxes are recognized forThe Company has used the amountBlack-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of taxes payable forstock options on the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequencedate of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using statutory tax rates and are adjusted for tax rate changes. We consider accounting for income taxes critical to our operations because management is required to make significant subjective judgments in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that may be required against deferred tax assets.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)grant.

 

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (Continued)

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in an entity’s financial statements and requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements.For those tax positions where it is not “more likely than not” that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. Where applicable, associated interest and penalties are also recorded. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods, and expanded disclosure requirements.

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2010. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

Research and Development Costs

The Company’s research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Such expenditures amounted to $169,665 and $386,868 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-10, “Derivatives815- 40, Derivatives and Hedging”Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-10”815-40”). Based on the provisions of ASC 815-10,815- 40, the Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (ii) gives the companyCompany a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).

The Company applies the accounting standard regarding “Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2011.

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the consolidated financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

Research and Development Costs

The Company’s research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Such expenditures amounted to $994,619 and $169,665 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed in accordance withFASB ASC Topic 260,Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Certain common stock equivalents were not included in the earnings (loss) per share calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Warrants for 4,294,999 shares and options for 1,750,000 shares were excluded from weighted average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stockholders’ Equity

Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.

Financial Instruments and Fair Values

The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other assets approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair values of all other financial instruments, including debt, approximate their book values as the instruments are short-term in nature or contain market rates of interest.

In each case, one-fourth of the option shares vested as of the date of each employee’s respective nonqualified stock option agreement, and the balance vests in equal installments every six months thereafter until fully vested, provided that the relevant employee is still employed by the Company at the time. In October 2011, one of the three employees left the Company and forfeited his one-third share of these options. See “Note 8 Commitments.”

The fair value of each stock option granted was determined using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The Company did not provide a current or deferred U.S. federal or state income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because it has experienced recurring operating losses. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of the net operating losses, because evidence does not indicate that the deferred tax assets will more likely than notexpected to be realized.

In assessing the ability to realize a new lease agreement effective January 1,portion of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more than likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making the assessment. After consideration of the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a $1,935,133 valuation allowance at December 31, 2011 as disclosedis necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.
