Note 1 – Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Annual Report of PowerVerde, Inc. (“PowerVerde,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.2012. The results of operations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for future periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PowerVerde, Inc., formerly known as Vyrex Corporation (the “Company”), and PowerVerde Systems, Inc., formerly known as PowerVerde, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2 – Going Concern

The accompanying condensed 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 flows 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 condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

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

Development Stage Company

The Company is a development stage company as defined in the FinancialAccounting Standards Board (“FASB”)

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, “Development Stage Entities.”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 havehas been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of balances due from sales and royalties. The Company monitors accounts receivable and provides allowances when considered necessary. At September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, accounts receivable were considered to be fully collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts was provided.

Trust Account RestrictedEmployee Advances

DuringThe employee advances represent the three months ended September 30, 2012,payroll taxes due on the Company received $403,330 into a trust account held by the Company’s attorney for the saleissuance of common stock subscriptions. The funds were to be returned to the investors without interest if a certain stipulated amount was not raised by October 31, 2012 through the offering. The Company raised the stipulated amount required in accordance with the subscription agreements subsequent to September 30, 2012.as compensation.

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 reasonablyreasonable collectable. Certain sales agreements also require installation and training by PowerVerde once goods are received and accepted by the customer. The Company does not consider these agreements multiple elements arrangements as defined by ASC 605-25 “Revenue Recognition”, as the Company does not offer installation or training as services separate from the sale of its products at this time. Therefore, a “best estimate of selling price” or individual pricing in accordance with ASC 605-25 is undeterminable. 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.

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.

Intellectual Property and Goodwill

The Company reviews intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of its long-lived assets, or related group of assets where applicable, in measuring whether the assets to be held and used will be realizable. In the event of impairment, the Company would discount the future cash flows using its then estimated incremental borrowing rate to estimate the amount of the impairment.

Goodwill is evaluated

The Company assesses goodwill for potential impairment at least annuallythe end of each fiscal year, or more frequentlyduring the year if eventsan event or changes in circumstances indicateother circumstance indicates that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount mayof the asset. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, first qualitative factors are assessed to determine whether it is more likely than not be recoverable. The impairment analysis involves(that is, a two step process. Step one involveslikelihood of more than 50 percent) that the comparisonfair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then no further testing of the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit is required. However, if it is concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a two-step goodwill impairment test is performed to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment to be recognized, if any.

In the first step of the review process, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further analysis is needed.

If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a second step of the review process is performed in order to calculate the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill in order to determine whether any impairment is required. The implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill is then calculated by allocating the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill relates (the Company’s enterprise value) toall of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. If the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the fair valueunit’s goodwill exceeds the carrying value, there is no impairment. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company determines the implied fair value of the goodwill, the Company then recognizes an impairment loss for that excess amount. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company determined that the goodwill it had recognized in connection with its previous acquisition of Cornerstone Conservation Group LLC had been impaired and recordsaccordingly recognized an impairment charge for any excess of the$2,637,760 to reduce its carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value.

For those reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an entity must evaluate whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, regardless of the mathematical results of the Step 1 test. In making that determination, the entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors that could impact the amount of goodwill.to zero.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accountshas accounted for share-basedstock-based compensation in accordance withunder the provisions of ASC Topic 718Share-Based Payments – “Stock Compensation”which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (stock options and common stock purchase warrants). The Company has used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each stock optionsoption award is estimated on the date of grant.grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of peer companies and other factors estimated over the expected term of the stock options. The expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815- 40, Derivatives“Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own EquityEquity” (“ASC 815-40”). Based on the provisions of ASC 815- 40, 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).

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company appliesfollows the accounting standard regardingprovisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions”Uncertainty in Income Taxes” 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 standardThis topic 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, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of September 30, 2012.

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.

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. Certain common stock equivalents were not included in the earnings (loss) per share calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Warrants exercisable for7,512,666 shares and options for 2,750,000 shares were excluded from weighted average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis.

Financial instruments

The Company carries cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses at historical costs. The respective estimated fair values of these assets and liabilities approximate carrying values due to their current nature. The Company also carries notes payable to related parties at historical cost less discounts from warrants issued as loan financing costs.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. These instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to measure the fair value of these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective inputs that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the Company’s trading market price and the trading market price of various peer companies, which have historically had high volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, the Company’s income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

The Company reports its derivative liabilities at fair value on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.

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.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to prior period’s presentation to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.

Note 4 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-11 “Disclosures about offsetting Assets and Liabilities” requiring additional disclosure about offsetting and related arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective retrospectively for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 will not have a material impact on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02-Testing Indefinite- Lived Intangible Asserts for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”) in order to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance. The new guidance allows an entity the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 becomes effective for the Company on October 1, 2012, and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 – Acquisition

On March 30, 2012, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interests of Cornerstone Conservation Group LLC (“Cornerstone”) pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”). 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. TheIn January 2012, the Company also moved its operations to a 5,000 square foot facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, owned by one of the sellers, who became an officer and director in Scottsdale Arizona.connection with the Cornerstone transaction. The Company used the facility rent free of charge for two months. Since March 2012, the Company has been using the facility rent free onat a short term basis but expects to negotiate a lease on fair market terms.

In consideration for the 100% membership interests in Cornerstone, the Company issued 2,260,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at $1.37 per share, the closing price on March 30, 2012) to the selling members of Cornerstone and issued to the sellers fully vested three–year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as follows:

The estimated fair value of the total warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of Cornerstone was $201,000 which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation method with the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 1.04 percent, an estimated volatility of 79.1 percent and no dividend yield. The total present value of all consideration expected to be paid as part of this agreement was $3,297,200.

The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired:

Note 87 – Stock Options

Stock option activity for the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, is summarized as follows:

Total stock option compensation for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 was $90,928 and 2011 was $364,907 and $415,908 respectively.$131,454 for the same period in 2012. Remaining stock option compensation of $51,000$30,309 will be recognized through the remainder of 2012.2013.

Note 9–8 - Notes Payable to Related Parties

In the fourth quarter of 2012, in an effort to raise capital, the Company entered into various Secured Promissory Note agreements with accredited investors, who are also existing stockholders of the Company. As of March 31, 2013, $400,000 was raised, of which $75,000 was raised in the first quarter 2013. Upon closing, the Company issued to the investors three-year warrants for the purchase of 400,000 shares (in the aggregate) of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.41 per share. On December 1, 2013, the Company will issue additional three-year warrants for 400,000 shares to the investors at an exercise price equal to the average price of the common stock during the 10 trading days prior to December 1, 2013.

The promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum based on a 365-day year. Accrued interest will be paid semi-annually on June 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2014. The entire principal balance of the Note, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable on December 31, 2014. In the event the Company defaults on interest and/or principal payments, the Company will use all accounts receivable obtained now or hereafter existing, pursuant to the License Agreement from VDF FutureCeuticals Inc. (the “Licensee”), as collateral.

The Company analyzed the terms of the warrants based on the provisions of ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and determined that the warrants issued in conjunction with the closing of the notes payable qualified for equity accounting. The warrants that will be issued on December 1, 2013 have been determined to qualify as a derivative liability (see Note 9).

Under guidance in ASC 470, the Company allocated the $400,000 in proceeds proportionately between the Secured Promissory Note and the common stock warrants issued to the note holders based on their relative fair values. The relative fair value of the common stock warrants of $176,000, of which $88,000 ($16,500 in Q1 2013) was recorded as additional paid in capital and $88,000 ($16,500 in Q1 2013) was recorded as a derivative liability. The Secured Promissory Note was recorded at the principal amount of $400,000 less a discount of $176,000. This discount was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Secured Promissory Note to related parties using the effective interest method. The fair value of the common stock warrants issued in conjunction with the Secured Promissory Notes was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company determined the fair value of its common stock warrants to be $0.22 per warrant issued with an exercise price of $0.41 per warrant.

Upon payment in full of the notes, a $25,000 fee will be paid by the Company to its placement agent, Martinez-Ayme Securities, Inc. As of March 31, 2013, $20,000 has been accrued and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 9 - Derivative liabilities

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. These instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value.

The following table discloses the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company held no asset derivatives at either reporting date.

The following table summarizes liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented:

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies

On September 29, 2011, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Newton Investments BV. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Newton will, for a period of 10 years, hold the exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights for the Systems in the 27 countries which are currently members of the European Union, subject to Newton’s achieving minimum sales of at least 100 Systems per year beginning in the second year of the License Agreement, payment of a royalty equal to 20% of the gross sales price of each System sold, and other terms and conditions set forth in the License Agreement.

In Due to ongoing technical problems with the first quarter of 2012,Company’s Systems, the Company raised $500,000 exclusively from accredited European investors (including $275,000 from a Newton affiliate) pursuant to a private placementhas deferred commencement 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 connections with the settlement of certain claims by and betweenminimum sales requirement until the Company and Newton.

Note 10- Related Party Transactions

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, the Company received services for primarily research and development from an affiliate in the amount of $138,382 and $125,219, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the Company owed $131,805 and $31,174, respectively to this affiliate.

Note 11- Subsequent Events.problems are resolved.

On October 16, 2012, in order to enhance the Company’s ability to raise capital and limit dilution of its stockholders, as well as to satisfy the Company’s obligations to Arizona Research and Development (“ARD”) for past services and to George Konrad under the agreement among Mr. Konrad, ARD and the Company dated April 7, 2011, as amended August 19, 2011 (the “Initial Agreement”) and the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Konrad dated April 7, 2011 (the “Employment Agreement”), Mr. Konrad agreed to surrender to the treasury 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by him in exchange for payment of $530,000. Of this amount, $130,000 was paid to ARD and $300,000 was paid to Mr. Konrad upon execution of the agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”). The Company agreed to pay $100,000 to Mr. Konrad in six consecutive monthly installments of $16,666.67 beginning November 16, 2012. In the event any part of the $100,000 balance remains unpaid six months after the date of the Agreement, Mr. Konrad has an option to convert some or all of the unpaid balance into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.0667 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment for any future stock splits, stock dividends, etc. The execution of the Settlement Agreement terminated both the Initial Agreement and the Employment Agreement, and neither party has any further obligations or liabilities under those agreements. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Konrad resigned from his position as President and Director of the Company. He was not replaced in either position.

In October 2012, the Company raised gross proceeds of $321,750 through the private placement of 450,000 unregistered shares of common stock to accredited investors at $.715 per share. Each investor who purchased shares at $.715 per share received a three-year warrant to purchase shares of common stock at $1.00 per share for a number of shares equal to one half of the number of shares purchased by the investor in this offering. The Company paid a 10% commission on the gross proceeds of this offering to its placement agent.

In October 2012, the Company raised gross proceeds of $170,280 through the private placement of 396,000 unregistered shares of common stock to accredited investors at $.43 per share. The $.43 shares were offered only to investors who purchased shares of Common Stock in the Company’s April – July 2012 offering at $1.00 per share. The Company paid a 10% commission on the gross proceeds of this offering to its placement agent.

The bulk of the funds raised by the Company in October 2012 was used to finance the payments totaling $430,000 to Mr. Konrad and ARD under the agreement described above. Closing of the offerings described in this Note was conditioned on the Company’s raising the minimum of $430,000 to be paid to Mr. Konrad. The Company did raise the minimum offering described above in October 2012.

In October25, 2012, the Company entered into an employmenta consulting agreement with a project engineer providing for a monthly salaryHank Leibowitz, the principal of $5,000,Waste Heat Solutions, LLC, an expert with employment39 years’ experience in the field of advanced energy systems. Pursuant to this consulting agreement, which is terminable by either party on 30 days’ prior written notice. Thenotice, the Company pays Waste Heat Solutions, $5,000 per month through February 2013 and $7,500 per month thereafter. In connection with this consulting agreement, the Company issued to the employeeWaste Heat Solutions (i) a fully vested 10-year option to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $.56 per share and another(ii) a 10-year option, forvesting six months from the contract date, i.e., on April 25, 2013, to purchase an additional 500,000 shares at $.56 per shareshare. The fair value of the fully vested option was approximately $182,000 and was recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations during 2012. The fair value of the option vesting six months from the contract date was approximately $182,000 of which approximately $91,000 was recorded as research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter 2013. The remaining unrecognized expense of approximately $30,300 will vest in six months.be recognized as research and development expense during the second quarter 2013.

This consulting agreement contains standard confidentiality provisions, as well as standard non-competition and non-soliciting provisions which survive for two years following termination of the consultancy.

Note 11 - Related Party Transactions

See Notes 8 and 10 for discussion of transactions with the Company’s Co-Founders, George Konrad and Fred Barker.

Since January 1, 2012, the Company has been using a 5,000 square foot Scottsdale, Arizona, facility owned by Bryce Johnson, the principal Cornerstone seller, who became an officer and director of the Company in connection with the Cornerstone Acquisition. The Company used the facility free of charge for two months. Since March 2012, it has been paying Mr. Johnson $700 per month which covers overhead costs for use of the facility on a month-to-month basis. Mr. Johnson resigned as an officer and director of the Company in March 2013; however, the Company continues to use his facility and expects to continue doing so for at least the next year on the existing terms.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

Readers are cautioned that the statements in this Report that are not descriptions of historical facts may be forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. This Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to us as of the date of this Report. When used in this Report, the words “plan,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Although we believe these statements are reasonable, actual actions, operations and results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors included in our 2011 Annual Report, or other factors. We must caution, however, that this list of factors may not be exhaustive and that these or other factors, many of which are outside of our control, could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to achieve our objectives. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The condensed 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 condensed 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

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” 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. This topic 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2013.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements as general and administrative expense.

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 reasonably collectable. Certain sales agreements also require installation and training by PowerVerde once goods are received and accepted by the customer. The Company does not consider these agreements multiple elements arrangements as defined by ASC 605-25Revenue Recognition, as the Company does not offer installation or training as services separate from the sale of its products, at this time, and therefore a “best estimate of selling price” or individual pricing in accordance with ASC 605-25 is undeterminable. 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.

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Our intangible assets include goodwill and intellectual property, all of which are accounted for based on GAAP related to Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Accordingly, goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually in December for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Intangible assets with limited useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. Our carrying value of goodwill at September 30, 2012 was $2,637,760.

We amortize intangibles with limited useful lives based on their expected useful lives and look to a number of factors for such estimations, including the longevity of our underlying patents. Our carrying value of amortizing intangible assets at September 30, 2012 was $549,533, net of accumulated amortization of $109,907. We begin amortizing capitalized intangibles on their date of acquisition.

Impairment Testing

The FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. The update allows us to qualitatively assess whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We perform this analysis in conjunction with our annual impairment test described below.

Our annual impairment test, which is performed in December, has two steps. The first identifies potential impairments by comparing the fair value of the Company with its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired and the second step is not necessary. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the second step calculates the possible impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, a write-down is recorded.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718Share-Based Payments. We have used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options on the date of grant.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815-40,815- 40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Based on the provisions of ASC 815-40,815- 40, 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 (includingincluding 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).

Intellectual Property and Goodwill

The Company reviews intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of its long-lived assets, or related group of assets where applicable, in measuring whether the assets to be held and used will be realizable. In the event of impairment, the Company would discount the future cash flows using its then estimated incremental borrowing rate to estimate the amount of the impairment.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment analysis involves a two step process. Step one involves the comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill relates (the Company’s enterprise value) to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, there is no impairment. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company determines the implied fair value of goodwill and records an impairment charge for any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value.

For those reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an entity must evaluate whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, regardless of the mathematical results of the Step 1 test. In making that determination, the entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors that could impact the amount of goodwill.

Stock-based compensation.

We account for stock-based compensation based on ASC Topic 718-Stock Compensation which requires expensing of stock options and other share-based payments based on the fair value of each stock option awarded. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires management to estimate the expected volatility, expected dividends, and expected term as inputs to the valuation model.

Derivative instruments—Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

We measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.

GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we and our consolidated subsidiaries have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding common stock purchase warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. These instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value.

We estimate fair values of all derivative instruments, such as free-standing common stock purchase warrants, and embedded conversion features utilizing Level 2 inputs. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective inputs that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in our trading market price and the trading market price of various peer companies, which have historically had high volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

We report our derivative liabilities at fair value on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2013.

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 generated only limited 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 (the “Merger”). In March 2009, we assigned our Biotech IP to an investor in exchange for his agreement to pay all future expenses relating to the Biotech IP and to pay us 20% of any net proceeds received from 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, testing and commercialization of our electric power systems, in particular, their applicability to thermal and natural gas pipeline operations. Our 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.

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

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013 as Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012

Since inception, we have focused on the development, testing and commercialization of our clean energy electric power generation systems. We had no revenues from our current businesssales in the thirdfirst quarter of 2012. In the2013 and 2012 third quarter, our revenues of $33,649 came solely from Biotech IP licensing fees. In the 2011 third quarter, our revenues of $143,491 consisted of— but we recorded $71,487 and $14,435 in Biotech IP licensing fees, of $13,491 and $130,000 in revenues from our current business, offset by cost of goods sold of $130,000.respectively. In both years, we had substantial expenses due to our ongoing research and development activities, and efforts to commercialize our systems, as well as substantial administrative expenses associated with our status as a public company. Our research and development expenses decreased by $112,118 (47.4%$340,879 (59.1%) in the thirdfirst quarter of 20122013 as compared to 2011, due primarily to2012. This decrease is because we are in the absenceprocess of third quarter billings for services from Arizona Researchtesting and Development (“ARD”) as a result of our negotiation with ARD’s owner, our founder and former President/Director George Konrad, of the settlement transaction with ARD and Mr. Konrad which closed in October 2012 (the “Konrad Settlement”). See Note 11 of Notes to Financial Statements and Part II, Item 5 “Other Information.”are not currently building any new generator systems. Our general and administrative expenses decreasedincreased by $18,914 (6.3%$231,438 (104.6%) in the thirdfirst quarter of 20122013 as compared to 2011,2012, due primarilymainly to increased expenses in 2013 for employee/consultant compensation, including the waivervalue of certainstock-based compensation for Mr. Konrad.vested and issued. Our net loss was $375,418$596,335 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2012,2013, a 28.7%24.3% decrease from the net loss of $526,318 in the third quarter of 2011. The substantial decrease in our net loss in the third quarter of 2012 was due to our reduced research and development expenses in 2012 and our vigorous cost control efforts. Substantial net losses will continue until we are able to successfully commercialize and market our systems, as to which there can be no assurance. 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012, as Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Since inception, we have focused on the development, testing and commercialization of our clean energy electric power generation systems. We had no revenues from our current business in the first nine months of 2012. In the first nine months of 2012, our revenues of $78,006 came solely from Biotech IP licensing fees. In the first nine months of 2011, our revenues of $174,482 consisted of Biotech IP licensing fees of $37,261 and $137,221 in revenues from our current business, offset by cost of goods sold of $136,925. In both years, we had substantial expenses due to our ongoing research and development activities and efforts to commercialize our systems, as well as substantial administrative expenses associated with our status as a public company. Our research and development expenses increased by $201,354 (25.3%) in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to 2011, and our general and administrative expenses decreased by $657,264 (45.9%) in the same period. The increase in research and development expenses was due primarily to our acquisition of the Cornerstone Conservation Group LLC (“Cornerstone”) intellectual property$787,484 in the first quarter of 2012. The increase in research and development expenses was also due to the warrants issued in the first quarter of 2012 to settle certain disputed amounts with our European distributor, Newton Investments B.V. (“Newton”), with an estimated fair value of $262,700. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to our nonrecurring expenses in the second quarter of 2011 in connection with the establishment and development of our relationship with Newton, which more than offset our increased compensation expenses in the second and third quarter of 2012 arising from our hiring of key Cornerstone personnel. Our net loss was $1,703,382 in the first nine months of 2012, a 21.6% decrease from the net loss of $2,171,589 in the first nine months of 2011. The decrease in our net loss in the first nine months of 2012 was due to our unusually high expenses in the comparable 2011 period and our vigorous cost control efforts in 2012. Substantial net losses will continue until we are able to successfully commercialize and market our systems,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 September 30, 2012,March 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of $570,170$143,877 compared to a working capital deficit of $128,598$72,721 at December 31, 2011.2012.

During the first quarter of 2012,2013, we raised gross proceeds of $500,000$75,000 through the private placement of 500,000 unregistered sharessecured promissory notes to existing stockholders.

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.

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 chief executive officer and chief financial officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 . In connection with this assessment, we identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 . A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—An Integrated Framework (September 1992). Because of the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012 , our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

We did not maintain an effective control environment. The control environment, which is the responsibility of senior management, sets the tone of the organization, influences the control consciousness of its people, and is the foundation for all other components of internal control over financial reporting. Each of the following control environment material weaknesses also contributed to the material weaknesses discussed below. Our control environment was ineffective because of the following material weaknesses:

(a) Monitoring of internal control over financial reporting—we did not maintain effective monitoring controls to determine the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting and related policies and procedures because of the following material weakness:

(i) Our policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of our accounting operations throughout the organization were either not designed, in place or operating effectively.

No Attestation Report

This quarterly 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 quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2012first quarter of 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.reporting, except as set forth above regarding the material weaknesses discovered which continued in the first quarter.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On November 2, 2012, Keith Johnson, our former Chief Technical Officer, filed suit against our operating subsidiary PowerVerde Systems, Inc., in Maricopa County, Arizona, Superior Court. The suit includes claims for breach of his employment agreement, for back pay and related claims. Mr. Johnson, whose salary was $12,500 per month, seeks back pay of $37,500, reimbursement of expenses totaling $5,012 and other unspecified damages. We believe that Mr. Johnson voluntarily terminated his employment in accordance with the agreement and that he has been paid in full. In an abundance of caution, we have also given Mr. Johnson 30 days’ notice of termination without cause pursuant to the employment agreement, with this notice to be effective only if the Court determines that his employment was not previously terminated by him. Mr. Johnson has not worked for the Company since early September 2012. Based on the foregoing, we believe that we have substantial defenses to Mr. Johnson’s claims. We intend to vigorously defend the case.None.
