Overview, Corporate History and Recent Events
Spiral Energy Tech., Inc. is a development stage company incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 18, 2008. We planOn July 30, 2012, we filed amended and restated articles of incorporation in order to, sellamong other things, change our authorized shares of capital stock to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock from 75,000,000 total authorized shares of capital stock, change the patentedpar value of our common and preferred stock to $0.0001 per share from $0.001 per share, allow for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes, eliminate the individual liability of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes and provide for our board of directors to issue series and classes of preferred stock with different features. On May 16, 2013, Spiral filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated articles of incorporation to change its name to “Spiral Energy Tech., Inc.” from Solid Solar Energy, Inc.
On October 1, 2014, Spiral entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Fuse Science, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Fuse”) and Spiral Acquisition Sub, Inc., Fuse’s newly formed, wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”). Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Acquisition Sub merged with and into Spiral, and Spiral, as the surviving entity, became a 51% majority-owned subsidiary of Fuse. As a result of the Merger, among other effects, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) 51% of Spiral’s shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (calculated on a pro rata basis among the shareholders of Spiral immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger) were automatically cancelled and retired and ceased to exist and certificates previously evidencing any such shares thereafter represented the right to receive an aggregate of 150,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Fuse, or, at the election of any holder of Spiral common stock who, as a result of receiving shares of Fuse common stock in connection with the Merger would hold in excess of 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Fuse common stock, shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Fuse; (ii) 49% of the Spiral shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (calculated on a pro rata basis among the shareholders of Spiral immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger) remained outstanding and (iii) the shares of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.0001 per share, held by Fuse immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Fuse, were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 7,723,892 shares of Spiral, which at the time of the Merger and on the date hereof represent 51% of Spiral’s issued and outstanding common stock. Also at the effective time of the Merger, Mohit Bhansali resigned from Spiral’s board of directors and as its President and Secretary and cancelled 97,988,153 shares of common stock of Spiral for consideration of a payment of $30,000 and a restricted stock grant equal to 10,000 shares of Fuse’s common stock under Fuse’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan.
Upon the closing of the Merger, each of Fuse’s officers resigned (with the exception of former Chief Executive Officer Brian Tuffin, who continued to serve as Fuse’s Principal Executive, Financial and Accounting Officer through the filing of Fuse’s Annual Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 16, 2015) and Mr. Ezra Green was appointed as Fuse’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. On October 27, 2014 each of Fuse’s directors resigned and Mr. Green and Gelvin Stevenson, Spiral’s other board member, were appointed as directors of Fuse. Mr. Green is the Chief Executive Officer and SEC Treasurer of Spiral and Messrs. Green and Stevenson are the directors of Spiral.
The Company is currently focused on two business initiatives: developing and commercializing the Company’s SkyPorts drone support technology, and developing and commercializing the Company’s XTRAX® remote monitoring system, each as described further below.
SkyPorts Drone Support Technology
The Company’s primary focus is developing technology and commercializing its proprietary SkyPorts drone support technology and Energy Demand Network, or “EDEN”. This technology enables the long distance flight required for measuringdrone-based commerce without the need for drones to return “home” every 15 minutes to recharge. The technology allows a drone operator to travel many miles outside of its “home range” allowing for a flight path of numerous miles limited only by our EDEN network of SkyPorts. This network is initially being developed for use in several states with proposed future plans for nationwide deployment.
Conventional long distance flight planning requires combustion engines with fuel bladders or tanks that would allow drones to cover large distances. However, it is expected that government regulatory agencies will not be permitting their mass deployment due to the nature of their volatile design. The Company has designed and is currently developing the modular SkyPorts allowing for the recharging of electrical powered drones for long distant flight and commercial applications. Home deliveries and business-to-business applications will be able to thrive regionally with national capabilities, assuming we complete development of the SkyPorts and the Federal Aviation Agency (“FAA”) and other possible regulators approve commercial drone usage.
Because this technology is in the early stages of development, there can be no assurances the Company will successfully develop a working prototype or succeed in mass-producing the technology at a cost that is not prohibitively expensive, or that the technology, once-developed, will be successfully commercialized or gain widespread traction with consumers.
XTRAX® Remote Monitoring System
The Company’s secondary business focus is on developing and commercializing the XTRAX® remote monitoring system. XTRAX® is designed to measure the production of solar and other renewable energy systems and for transmission of the data via the cellular and radio frequency network and potentially via microwave transmission network or satellite (the XTRAX® unit does not currently have the capacity for transmission via microwave and satellite). From inception through separately, or in conjunction with solar system installations. Prior to April 25, 2013, we purchased one residential solar power purchase agreement along with the hardwareCompany was focused on exploring and the rights to the system, including the revenues, design, permitting, construction, installation, testing and activation of the system. In May 2013 we acquired the patents underlying the XTRAX remote monitoring system and sold the patents to Endeavor IP, Inc. (“Endeavor”) with a retained license to make, use and sell products under the patenteddeveloping potential technology for $100,000 cash, $700,000 of securities (666,666 shares of common stock) and a right to receive 20% of the net proceeds from recoveries received by Endeavor for licensing and from lawsuits related to the patents sold which cover remote access energy monitoring systems and electric alternating current sensors for measuring alternating currents in circuit conductors In connection with such sale, we retained the right to make, use and sell commercial monitoring products and systems relying on such patents which is a primary focus of our efforts. Endeavor presently has brought actions against two major utilities and during June 2014 we received $10,484.00 from Endeavor in connection with settlement of a lawsuit by Endeavor..
Our original purpose upon formation was to focus on developing and exploring potential applicationsapplication of holographic technology to solar energy systems, in conjunction with experts inbut abandoned that objective after the Company’s planned holography known to one of our founders. We no longer plan to focus on exploring potential applications of holographic technology to solar energy systems. Duringexpert retired. On April 25, 2013, wethe Company purchased the patents and trademarks relating to the XTRAX® remote monitoring system from a defunct company, Carbon 612 Corporation and Ragonap Enterprises, Inc. (“Ragonap”), one of its creditors. Also on such date, our board of directors and shareholders appointed Ezra Green, (which through Carbon 612 Corporation previously pursuedCorporation’s creditors, for an aggregate of 1,652,430 shares of common stock and a royalty to Ragonap equal to 10% of the profit generated from the licensing, commercialization, exploitation, use, practice, and/or sale of XTRAX® remote monitoring systemthe purchased patents.
On May 13, 2013, pursuant to a patent purchase agreement, the Company sold its patents to Endeavor IP, Inc. (“Endeavor”), as well as all right, title and who servedinterest in all related causes of actions and other enforcement rights under or on account of any of such acquired patents in consideration for (i) $100,000) (ii) 666,666 shares of Endeavor’s common stock and (ii) a royalty equal to 20% of the net revenues from any Enforcement Activities or Sales Transactions (as defined in the patent purchase agreement) related to the purchased patents pursuant to the terms of a proceeds interest agreement. Additionally, Endeavor granted the Company a personal, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive and worldwide license (without the right to sublicense) to, among other things, develop, distribute and sell the products and services covered by the patents sold to Endeavor. Of the 666,666 shares issued to the Company, 66,668 were immediately issued to Ragonap as its sole officer10% royalty, leaving the Company with 599,998 shares. On October 21, 2013, in order to generate additional working capital, the Company sold 299,994 shares to Paradox Capital Partners, LLC (“Paradox”), an affiliate of one of our founders, leaving the Company with 300,004 shares of common stock of Endeavor.

Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or “JOBS Act.” For as long as we are an emerging growth company, unlike other public companies, we will not be required to:
| ● | provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
| ● | comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer; |
| ● | comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012, unless the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC determines otherwise; |
| ● | provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies; or |
| ● | obtain shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
We will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of:
| ● | when we have $1.0 billion or more in annual revenues; |
| ● | when we have at least $700 million in market value of our common units held by non-affiliates; |
| ● | when we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period; or |
| ● | the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering. |
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1), which will allow us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Risks Relating to our Business
WeBecause we are a development stage company, have only lost money, and may never be able to implement our business plan or achieve any revenues or profitability. Therefore, at this stage of our business,profitability, potential investors have a high probability of losing their entire investment.
We were established on January 18, 2008 andbut have a limited operating history. We are in the development stage and are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. We generated $639 of revenues and incurred $114,008 of operating expenses (before accounting for $88,216 gain on the sale of patents and $1,211 gain on the sale of Endeavor securities) and a net loss of $23,942 for the year ended December 31, 2013, and a net loss of $58,068 for the year ended December 31, 2012. From inception to December 31, 2013 we incurred a cumulative net loss of $82,411. For the fiscal quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2014, we have net income of $26,433.
As a development stage company, investment in us involves a significant financial risk. It is uncertain as to when we will become profitable, if ever. There is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that our business will prove to be successful or that we will ever be able to generate revenues or operate profitably. The revenue and profitability of our proposed business and operations is unproven as the lack of operating history makes it difficult to evaluate the future prospects of our business.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an unqualified opinion on our financial statements with a “going concern” paragraph.
Our independent registered public accounting firm’s opinion on our financial statements has a “going concern” explanatory paragraph. Such opinion may make parties reluctant to extend trade credit to us and thereby make it more difficult for us to conduct our business. In addition, such an opinion from the independent registered public accounting firm may also make third parties reluctant to do business with us or to invest funds in our company, thereby raising difficulties for us in the conduct of our business.
For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.
In April 2012, President Obama signed into law the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for “emerging growth companies,” including certain requirements relating to accounting standards and compensation disclosure. We are classified as an emerging growth company. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years, unlike other public companies, we will not be required to, among other things, (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, (2) comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, (3) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012 unless the SEC determines otherwise, (4) provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies or (5) hold unit holder advisory votes on executive compensation.
We will likely require up to $300,000$1,500,000 in the next 12 months to fully implement our business plan and may be forced to curtail or cease operations if we are not able to obtain additional financing in the future. We currently have no commitments to raise any funds.
We will require up to $300,000$1,500,000 in the next 12 months in order to implement our business plan. Additional financing may take the form of equity or debt financings depending upon prevailing market conditions. We currently have no commitments to raise any funds. These financings may not be available or, if available, may be on terms that are not favorable to us and could result in dilution to our stockholders and reduction of the market value of our common stock. If we obtain debt financing, we may be required to pledge accounts receivables, inventories, equipment, patents or other assets as collateral, which would be subject to seizure by our creditors if we were to default under the debt agreements, we could be required to comply with financial and other covenants that could limit our flexibility in conducting our business and put us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors, and we would be required to use our available cash to pay debt service. Since the terms and availability of any financing depends to a large degree upon general economic conditions and third parties over which we have no control, we can give no assurance that we will obtain the needed financing or that we will obtain such financing on attractive terms. In addition, our ability to obtain financing depends on a number of other factors, many of which are also beyond our control, such as interest rates and national and local business conditions. If the cost of obtaining needed financing is too high or the terms of such financing are otherwise unacceptable in relation to the strategic opportunity we are presented with, we may decide to forego that opportunity. If adequate capital is not available to us, we would likely be required to significantly curtail or possibly even cease our operations.
We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth.
Our strategy envisions a period of potentially rapid growth. We currently maintain nominal administrative and personnel capacity due to the nature of our business, and our expected growth may impose a significant burden on our future planned administrative and operational resources. The growth of our business may require significant investments of capital and increased demands on our management, workforce and facilities. We will be required to substantially expand our administrative and operational resources and attract, train, manage and retain qualified management and other personnel. Failure to do so or satisfy such increased demands would interrupt or have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We could become involved in intellectual property disputes that create a drain on our resources and could ultimately impair our assets.
Wecurrently rely on trade secretscertain key individuals and the loss of one of these key individuals could have an adverse effect on the Company.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon Ezra Green, Chief Executive Officer. . Although Mr. Green entered into an employment agreement with Fuse, the loss of his services could have a material adverse effect on the success and development of our industry expertise and know how. WeCompany. Additionally, we do not knowingly infringe on patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned by other parties; however,anticipate having key man insurance in the event of an infringement claim, we may be required to spend a significant amount of management time and company money to defend a claim, develop a non-infringing alternative or to obtain licenses. We may not be successful in developing such an alternative or obtaining licenses on reasonable terms, if at all. Any litigation, even if without merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our time and resources and could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
The departure or loss of Ezra Green could disrupt our business. Ezra Greene may devote only a portion of his business time to us, which could materially and adversely affect us and our business.
We depend heavilyplace on the continued efforts of Ezra Green, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and director. Mr. Green is the inventor of the XTRAX® remote monitoring system and has previously founded Clear Skies Solar, Inc., a solar installation company (OTCBB:CSKH) which ceased operations in 2012 following a downturn in solar installation incentives and Carbon 612 Corporation. Mr. Green is important to our strategic vision and day-to-day operations and would be difficult to replace. We cannot be certain that Mr. Green will continue with us for any particular period of time. The departure or losslife of Mr. Green orin the inability to hire and retain a qualified replacement, could negatively impact our ability to manage our business. Mr. Green was an officer and director of Carbon 612 Corporation and Clear Skies Solar, Inc., but these entities are inactive. Mr. Green has not entered into any contract or agreement with us and is not obligated to devote 100% of his of his time to us.
foreseeable future.Mohit Bhansali may devote only a portion of his business time to us, which could materially and adversely affect us and our business.
Mr. Bhansali, our majority shareholder, President, Secretary and a director, is not required to work exclusively for us and does not devote all of his time to our operations. Presently, Mr. Bhansali allocates only a portion of his time to the operation of our business. As Mr. Bhansali is currently employed elsewhere in addition to serving as our President, Secretary and a director, he is able to commit to us only up to ten hours a week but is not obligated to devote any particular amount of time to our business or affairs. Mr. Bhansali has not entered into any contract or agreement with us.
We are exposed to risks associated with product liability claims in the event that the use or installation of our products results in injury or damage.
We anticipate acquiring a product liability insurance policy once we are ready to launch our XTRAX® product,and SkyPort products, but there can be no assurance that one will be available on reasonable terms. The successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in material reputational and/or monetary damages and, if our insurance protection is inadequate, could require us to make significant payments. We do not presently maintain any product liability or other insurance.
The Company is dependent upon the successful development, commercial launch and acceptance of its products and the successful license of its technology.
The Company’s ultimate success will be dependent in large part upon its ability to timely complete development of and commercially launch its products and their acceptance by potential customers, as well as the ability to successfully license its technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company’s planned products will ever gain commercial acceptance, whether its technology will be successfully licensed, whether it will ever generate significant revenues or that it will ever be profitable.
The Company cannot guaranty that it can effectively market its planned products and technology.
A significant part of the Company’s success will depend on its marketing strategy. The Company’s marketing efforts have been limited to date. The Company is currently planning to begin test marketing consumer reaction on a small scale in the Northeast region of the United States to determine consumer reaction and marketability. There can be no assurance as to the success of any marketing strategy the Company may seek to implement. If the Company cannot effectively market its planned products and license its technology, its prospects will be harmed.
If we are unable to protect our patented technologies, our business could be harmed.
Our key asset is our intellectual property, including our patents pending. The cost to prosecute infringements of our intellectual property, or the cost to defend our product against patent infringement or other intellectual property litigation by others, could be substantial. We cannot assure you that:
IfPending and future patent applications will result in issued patents;
Patents which are licensed by us will not be challenged by competitors;
The patents will be found to be valid or sufficiently broad to protect our XTRAX ® product is commercialized, we will face intense competition, and many of our competitorstechnology or provide us with a competitive advantage; or
We will have substantially greater resources than we do.
Ifthe funds to defend and be successful in defending against future patent infringement claims asserted against our XTRAX® product is commercialized, we will operate in a highly competitive environment that is characterized by price fluctuations, supply shortages and rapid technological change. If our XTRAX® product is commercialized, we will compete with major international and domestic companies. Our competitors will often have greater market recognition and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, purchasing, manufacturing, personnel and other resources than we do. Many of our potential competitors may be developing and currently producing products based on new technologies that may ultimately have costs similar to, or lower than, our projected costs. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to changing customer demands or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sales of products than we can.product.
ItIn addition, changes in U.S. patent laws could prevent or limit us from filing patent applications or patent claims to protect our product and/or technologies or limit the exclusivity periods that are available to patent holders. In September 2011, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or the Leahy-Smith Act, was signed into law and included a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law, including the transition from a "first-to-invent" system to a "first-to-file" system and changes to the way issued patents are challenged. These changes may favor larger and more established companies that have more resources than we do to devote to patent application filing and prosecution. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued new Regulations effective March 16, 2013 to administer the Leahy-Smith Act. Accordingly, it is not clear what, if any, impact the Leahy-Smith Act will ultimately have on the cost of prosecuting our patent applications, our ability to obtain patents based on our discoveries and our ability to enforce or defend our issued patents. However, it is possible that in order to adequately protect our patents under the "first-to-file" system, the Company will have to allocate significant additional resources to the establishment and maintenance of a new competitors or alliances among existing competitors could emergepatent application process designed to be more streamlined and rapidly acquire significant market share,competitive in the context of the new "first-to-file" system, which would harm our business. If we fail to compete successfullydivert valuable resources from other areas of our business would suffersince we are relying on our management to provide us with services.
In addition to pursuing patents on our technology, the Company has taken steps to protect its intellectual property and proprietary technology by entering into confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with employees, consultants, corporate partners and, when needed, advisors. Such agreements may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements, and we may losenot be able to prevent such unauthorized disclosure. Monitoring unauthorized disclosure is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps the Company has taken to prevent such disclosure are, or will be, unableadequate.
If we are subject to gain market share.intellectual property infringement claims, it could cause us to incur significant expenses and pay substantial damages.
Third parties may claim that our technologies infringe or violate their intellectual property rights. Any such claims could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages and prevent us from using licensed technology that may be fundamental to our business. Even if we were to prevail, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. We may also be obligated to indemnify our business partners in any such litigation, which could further exhaust our resources. Furthermore, as a result of an intellectual property challenge, we may be prevented from providing some of our services unless we enter into royalty, license or other agreements. We may not be able to obtain such agreements at all or on terms acceptable to us, and as a result, we may be precluded from offering some of our equipment and services.
Our trade secrets may be difficult to protect.
Our success depends upon the skills, knowledge and experience of our management, our consultants and advisors, as well as our licensors and contractors. Because we operate in a highly competitive industry, we rely in part on trade secrets to protect our proprietary technology and processes. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. When appropriate, we will enter, into confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third parties confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known to the receiving party by us during the course of the receiving party’s relationship with us. These agreements also generally provide that inventions conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to us will be our exclusive property, and we will enter into assignment agreements to perfect our rights.
These confidentiality, inventions and assignment agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to us. Our trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case we would not be able to prevent the use of such trade secrets by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets could be difficult, expensive and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive position.
We are subject to substantial government regulation, and the failure to comply with any regulatory requirements applicable to us could substantially harm our business.
Presently, operation of commercial drones is not lawful. The Company has not even begun to seek regulatory approvals that may be required for its drone support technology business. As a result, it is difficult to predict when the Company may obtain these approvals or how costly the process of obtaining them will be, and there can be no assurance that wethe Company will ever obtain them.
Before the Company can complete development and commercialization of its XTRAX® units, it needs to complete the product safety testing process, receive approval from the Federal Communications Commission, and obtain approval from cellular network carriers. While the Company believes it will ultimately obtain all necessary approvals, there can be no assurance as to when these approvals will be ableobtained. If the Company fails to compete successfully. If we areobtain any of these approvals, if obtaining the approvals is a lengthier process than the Company expects, or if obtaining the approvals is costlier than the Company expects, the Company may be unable to compete effectively,execute its business plan with respect to XTRAX®, and its results of operations and financial results could suffer.
If there is not a change in the U.S. government’s current regulation of unmanned aircraft systems, the Company may be unable to successfully commercialize its SkyPort drone support technology.
The Company presently expects a substantial proportion of its future revenue to come from the sale and licensing of SkyPort technology to customers in connection with commercial drone-based home delivery of goods. However, at present, drones, or if competition resultsunmanned aircraft systems (“UAS”), cannot, as a practical matter, be used for commercial delivery in the United States. In November 2014, the National Transportation Safety Board ruled that drones are aircraft subject to existing aviation laws and the regulatory power of the FAA. While the FAA permits recreational use of UAS, they have virtually banned UAS for commercial usage. In 2012, the U.S. Congress mandated that the FAA develop rules that provide for the integration of small UAS into the national airspace system by September 30, 2015, and the FAA is in the process of drafting updated regulations specifically for small UAS operations. However, it is impossible to predict when these rules may be finalized, and what the final content of such rules will be. Until, and unless, the FAA issues rules permitting commercial use of UAS, there will be substantial uncertainty around the legality of commercial drone flight in the U.S., and as a deterioration ofresult, a market conditions,for drone support technology may not successfully develop, which could have a substantial harmful effect on our business and results of operationsoperations. Furthermore, the commercial operation of UAS may be subject to state and local regulation.
Many innovators in the field of drone technology are more established and better financed than we are, and it is possible they may develop competing drone support technology, which could have a harmful effect on our business.
Because commercial drone technology is presently heavily regulated in the U.S. as described above, many drone manufacturers currently have contracts with the U.S. government and its military branches. It is possible that these manufacturers may develop drone support technology similar to ours for military purposes, and if and when commercial drone flight is approved, these companies may have a competitive advantage over our Company because they have more advanced technology and greater financial resources. In addition, very large and successful companies like Google Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc. have publicly discussed their ongoing drone technology development efforts. If such companies develop commercial drone support technology, they would be adversely affected.also have a significant competitive advantage over our Company. Competition from these companies or from military contractors could have a substantial harmful effect on our business and results of operations.
Technological changes in the alternative energy industry could render our proprietary XTRAX® technology uncompetitive or obsolete, which could impair our ability to capture market share and limit our sales.
Our failure to further refine our technology and develop new technology could cause our XTRAX® products to become uncompetitive or obsolete, which could impair our ability to capture market share and limit our sales. The alternative energy industry is rapidly evolving and competitive. Our future success will depend on our ability to appropriately respond to changing technologies and changes in function of products and quality. We may need to invest significant financial resources in research and development to keep pace with technological advances in the solar power industry and to effectively compete in the future. A variety of monitoring technologies may be currently under development by other companies that could result in better product performance than those expected to be produced using our technology. Our development efforts may be rendered obsolete by the technological advances of others and other technologies may prove more advantageous than our monitoring system can offer. We are dependent upon the success of Endeavor to enforce the XTRAXXTRAX® patents and identify and control potential infringers of the remote monitoring inventions while we establish our commercial activities.
Our XTRAX® business depends on the availability of rebates and tax credits; reduction, elimination or uncertainty of which would reduce the demand for our products and services.
Many states have offered incentives to offset the cost of renewable power systems. These systems can take many forms, including direct rebates, state tax credits, system performance payments and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)(“RECs”). Moreover, the federal government has offered a 30% tax credit for the installation of solar power systems. Businesses may also elect to accelerate the depreciation on their system over five years. Uncertainty about the introduction of, reduction in or elimination of such incentives or delays or interruptions in the implementation of favorable federal or state laws could substantially increase the cost of our systems to our customers, resulting in significant reductions in demand for our services, which would negatively impact our sales. The availability, caps and eligibility for such tax incentives has been erratic and the success of the Company is heavily reliant upon the future access to incentives without which alternative energy systems, and monitoring of those systems, may not be a successful business.

The market for our common stock is limited.
There is no market for our securities. Our common stock is not ablecurrently listed for trading on any exchange. It is our intention to obtain listingseek quotation on the OTCQB but an application to trade our common stock has not been filed by Underwriters Laboratory (“UL”) and approvals, including froma market maker on our behalf as of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) due to certain low level magnetic emissions from the XTRAX ® unit. In addition, it will have to be certified by various cellular network operators as meeting technical requirements for devices that communicate via the cellular network.date of this Term Sheet. There can be no assurance that weour common stock will be approved for trading on the OTCQB, or any other trading exchange.
There is no assurance that a trading market will develop, or, if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a purchaser of our common stock may find it difficult to resell the securities offered herein should the purchaser desire to do so when eligible for public resale.
Because our common stock is a penny stock, trading of our common stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.
Our common stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the SEC, FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals.information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock.
Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include: control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to a promoter or issuer; manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons; excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.
Risks Relating to Our Organization
Our articles of incorporation authorize our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.
Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock. In addition, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
Your ability to influence corporate decisions may be limited because Mohit Bhansali, our President, Secretary and a director,Fuse owns a controlling percentage of our common stock.
Mr. Bhansali, our President, Secretary and a director, beneficiallyFuse owns approximately 90.10%51% of our outstanding common stock. As a result of this stock ownership, Mr. BhansaliFuse can control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company on terms that other stockholders may desire. Ezra Green, our sole officer and a director, Gelvin Stevenson, a director, and David Rector have shared voting and dispositive power over securities held by Fuse. In addition, as the interests of Mr. BhansaliFuse and our minority stockholders may not always be the same, this large concentration of voting power may lead to stockholder votes that are inconsistent with the best interests of our minority stockholders or the best interest of us as a whole.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairing our ability grow.
We are subject to reporting and other obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Section 404 requires us to conduct an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. These reporting and other obligations place significant demands on our financial resources.
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, then we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by such act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)SEC current and interfere with the ability of investors to trade our securities and for our shares to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin BoardOTCQB or to list on any national securities exchange.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical un-discovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement.
We are not currently required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley, Act of 2002, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will beWe are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, of 2002, which will require our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will not be required to make our first assessment of our internal control over financial reporting until the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC. To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we will need to implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures and hire accounting, finance and legal staff.
Further, our independent registered public accounting firm is not yet required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and will not be required to do so for as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act. Please read “Summary—“Prospectus Summary—Emerging Growth Company Status.”
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, we expect these new rules and regulations to increase our compliance costs in 2012 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.
The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by them under this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders covered by this prospectus.
MARKET FOR OUR COMMONCOMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is currently no public or other market for our common stock, and we cannot guarantee that any such market will develop in the foreseeable future. It is our intention to seek quotation on the OTC Bulletin BoardOTCQB but an application to trade our common stock has not been filed by a market maker on our behalf as of the date of this prospectus. There can be no assurances that our common stock will be approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board,OTCQB, or any other trading exchange. As of June 10, 2014 ,January 26, 2015, there were 112,083,03815,144,885 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Our shares are held by 1822 shareholders of record.
We have not declared nor paid any cash dividend on our common stock, and we currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The decision whether to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be made by our board of directors, in their discretion, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors considers significant.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONDISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All statements contained in this Prospectus, other than statements of historical facts, that address future activities, events or developments, are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements containing the word “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect” and word of similar import. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our assessment of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those projected. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: unexpected difficulties in the development of the Company’s technologies, established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and operating histories, regulatory delays or denials, ability to compete as a start-up company in a highly competitive market, and access to sources of capital.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this Prospectus should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Prospectus. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed here.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay for our expenses. This is because we have not generated an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating cost and have limited operating history. There is no assurance we will ever reach this point, and have not recognized any revenues since inception. Accordingly, we must raise sufficient capital from sources. Our only source for cash at this time is investments by others. We must raise cash to stay in business. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.
Critical Accounting Policies. We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the financial statements are prepared. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation of our financial statements.
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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Long-lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
Overview
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 18, 2008.On May 16, 2013, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated articles of incorporation to change its name to “Spiral Energy Tech., Inc.” from Solid Solar Energy, Inc. It is a development stage company in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASC 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company was initially formed to provide residential users access to affordable renewable energy and to install and maintain solar energy panel systems on residential housing units at no cost to the end user. Revenue, if any, is derived from renewable energy credits/certificates , billing of solar converted electricity , and monthly service charges.
From inceptionOn October 1, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Fuse Science, Inc., a Nevada corporation and Spiral Acquisition Sub, Inc., Fuse’s newly formed, wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub merged with and into the Company, and the Company, as the surviving entity, became a 51% majority-owned subsidiary of Fuse. As a result of the Merger, among other effects, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) 51% of the Company’s shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (calculated on a pro rata basis among the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger) were automatically cancelled and retired and ceased to exist and certificates previously evidencing any such shares thereafter represented the right to receive an aggregate of 150,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Fuse, or, at the election of any holder of Company common stock who, as a result of receiving shares of Fuse common stock in connection with the Merger would hold in excess of 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Fuse common stock, shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Fuse; (ii) 49% of the Company shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (calculated on a pro rata basis among the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger) remained outstanding and (iii) the shares of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.0001 per share, held by Fuse immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Fuse, were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 7,723,892 shares of common stock of the Company, which at the time of the Merger and on the date hereof represent 51% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Also at the effective time of the Merger, Mohit Bhansali resigned from the Company’s board of directors and as its President and Secretary and cancelled 97,988,153 shares of common stock of the Company for consideration of a payment of $30,000 and a restricted stock grant equal to 10,000 shares of Fuse’s common stock under Fuse’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan.
Upon the closing of the Merger, each of Fuse’s officers resigned (with the exception of former Chief Executive Officer Brian Tuffin, who continued to serve as Fuse’s Principal Executive, Financial and Accounting Officer through the filing of Fuse’s Annual Report with the SEC on January 16, 2015) and Ezra Green was appointed as Fuse’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. On October 27, 2014 each of Fuse’s directors resigned and Ezra Green and Gelvin Stevenson, the Company’s other board member, were appointed as directors of Fuse.
The Company is currently focused on two business initiatives: developing and commercializing the Company’s SkyPorts drone support technology, and developing and commercializing the Company’s XTRAX® remote monitoring system, each as described further below.
SkyPorts Drone Support Technology
The Company’s primary focus is developing technology and commercializing its proprietary SkyPorts drone support technology and Energy Demand Network, or “EDEN”. This technology enables the long distance flight required for drone-based commerce without the need for drones to return “home” every 15 minutes to recharge. The technology allows a drone operator to travel many miles outside of its “home range” allowing for a flight path of numerous miles limited only by our EDEN network of SkyPorts. This network is initially being developed for use in several states with proposed future plans for nationwide deployment.
Conventional long distance flight planning requires combustion engines with fuel bladders or tanks that would allow drones to cover large distances. However, it is expected that government regulatory agencies will not be permitting their mass deployment due to the nature of their volatile design. The Company has designed and is currently developing the modular SkyPorts allowing for the recharging of electrical powered drones for long distant flight and commercial applications. Home deliveries and business-to-business applications will be able to thrive regionally with national capabilities, assuming we complete development of the SkyPorts and the FAA and other possible regulators approve commercial drone usage.
Because this technology is in the early stages of development, there can be no assurances the Company will successfully develop a working prototype or succeed in mass-producing the technology at a cost that is not prohibitively expensive, or that the technology, once-developed, will be successfully commercialized or gain widespread traction with consumers.
XTRAX® Remote Monitoring System
The Company’s secondary business focus is on developing and commercializing the XTRAX® remote monitoring system. XTRAX® is designed to measure the production of solar and other renewable energy systems and for transmission of the data via the cellular and radio frequency network and potentially via microwave transmission network or satellite (the XTRAX® unit does not currently have the capacity for transmission via microwave and satellite) separately, or in conjunction with solar system installations. Prior to April 25, 2013, the Company purchased one residential power plan solar customer agreement for the design, permitting, construction, installation, testing and activation of a solar photovoltaic system and thenwas focused on exploring and developing potential applicationstechnology for application of holographic technology to solar energy systems.systems, but abandoned that objective after the Company’s planned holography expert retired. On April 25, 2013, the Company purchased the patents and trademarks relating to the XTRAX® remote monitoring system from Carbon 612 Corporation and Ragonap Enterprises, Inc., one of Carbon 612 Corporation’s creditors for an aggregate of 1,652,430 shares of common stock and a royalty to Ragonap Enterprises, Inc. equal to 10% of the profit generated from the licensing, commercialization, exploitation, use, practice, and / and/or sale of the purchased patents.
On May 13, 2013, pursuant to a patent purchase agreement, the Company sold its patents to Endeavor IP, Inc., as well as all right, title and interest in all related causes of actions and other enforcement rights under or on account of any of such acquired patents in consideration for (i) $100,000) (ii) 666,666 shares of Endeavor IP, Inc.’sEndeavor’s common stock and (ii) a royalty equal to 20% of the net revenues from any Enforcement Activities or Sales Transactions (as defined in the patent purchase agreement) related to the purchased patents pursuant to the terms of a proceeds interest agreement. Additionally, Endeavor IP, Inc. granted the Company a personal, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive and worldwide license (without the right to sublicense) to, among other things, develop, distribute and sell the products and services covered by the patents sold to Endeavor IP, Inc.Endeavor. Of the 666,666 shares issued to the Company, 66,668 were immediately issued to Ragonap Enterprises, Inc. as its 10% royalty, leaving the Company with 599,998 shares. On October 21, 2013, in order to generate additional working capital, the Company sold 299,994 shares to Paradox Capital Partners, LLC, an affiliate of one of our founders, leaving the Company with 300,004 shares of common stock of Endeavor IP, Inc.Endeavor. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”.
On May 16, 2013, Other than license fees from its patents sold to Endeavor, Spiral does not presently generate revenue from either its Skyports drone technology or XTRAX® remote monitoring system, although it is actively developing these technologies and planning for their commercialization. Its operating capital is extremely limited and it relies on financing from its 51% majority stockholder Fuse, sales of its securities, license fees from Endeavor and sales of Endeavor securities (made in the Companyopen market and in privately negotiated transactions) for all of its working capital. Prior to the Merger, Spiral also relied on advances from its founders and others and generated capital to fund its operations by sale of restricted Endeavor securities for cash to one of its founders. filedSpiral’s auditor, in its report dated March 13, 2014, expressed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated articles of incorporation to change its name to “Spiral Energy Tech., Inc.” from Solid Solar Energy, Inc.going concern.

Application of Significant Accounting Policies
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may, therefore, not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
Results of Operations
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

Revenues
We had revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $639 and $0, respectively. For the period from January 18, 2008 (Inception) through December 31, 2013, we had revenues of $639. Revenues commenced starting April 1, 2013.
In December 2011 we purchased one residential power plan solar customer agreement for the design, permitting, construction, installation, testing and activation of a solar photovoltaic system. We did not recognize any revenue from this agreement as Clear Skies kept the monthly fees, which totaled less than $1,000 on an annual basis, billed to the customers until such time as we paid Clear Skies the remaining $15,000 purchase price. In the second quarter of 2013, Clear Skies forgave the $15,000 due to it under the agreement and it is no longer outstanding.
Starting April, 2013, we signed a 12-month balanced billing agreement with the solar customer and are accruing $71 per month from this residential power plant. At the end of the billing year, March 31, 2014, we will perform an evaluation of actual revenue and adjust accordingly.

During the period from inception through March 31, 2014, the Company has realized gains from sale of marketable securities, in the amount of $115,462 and gain on sale of patents in the amount of $88,216.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating cost and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan to obtain such resources for the Company includes obtaining capital from potential new investors, management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The Company expects operating cash requirements of $300,000 for the next twelve months. It expects to need approximately $109,000 to complete the testing and certification of its technology as set forth below. The remainder will be allocated to paying installers, purchasing supplies, compensation and paying the Company’s legal and financial advisors. The Company expects that it will require approximately $10,000 funds in operation per month during 2014.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. In addition, profitability will ultimately depend upon the level of revenues received from business operations and there is no assurance the Company will attain profitability.

Background
Spiral Energy Tech., Inc. (formerly known as Solid Solar Energy, Inc.) is a development stage company incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 18, 2008. The Company is currently focused on two business initiatives: developing and commercializing the Company’s SkyPorts drone support technology, and developing and commercializing the Company’s XTRAX® remote monitoring system, each as described further below.
SkyPorts Drone Support Technology
The Company’s primary focus is developing technology and commercializing its proprietary SkyPorts drone support technology and Energy Demand Network, or “EDEN”.

However, it is expected that government regulatory agencies will not be permitting their mass deployment due to the nature of their volatile design. The Company has designed and is currently developing the modular SkyPorts allowing for the recharging of electrical powered drones for long distant flight and commercial applications. Home deliveries and business-to-business applications will be able to thrive regionally with national capabilities, assuming we complete development of the SkyPorts and the FAA and other possible regulators approve commercial drone usage.
Because this technology is in the early stages of development, there can be no assurances the Company will successfully develop a working prototype or succeed in mass-producing the technology at a cost that is not prohibitively expensive, or that the technology, once-developed, will be successfully commercialized or gain widespread traction with consumers.
Products and Services
Upon the completion of development and commercialization efforts, the Company expects its primary business to consist of building out the network of SkyPorts, then executing the business model of annual memberships and monthly access fees for each drone enrolled. The SkyPorts will be installed on commercial rooftops or be land-based, where applicable, in order to allow commercial establishments to distribute their wares or delivery services to offer faster-than-overnight delivery. The range of applications runs from agricultural inspections and monitoring to pharmacy and fast food deliveries. The SkyPorts will be strategically installed and maintained by the Company in a given market, and drones desiring access to the network will enroll in the EDEN program with an annual enrollment charge and a monthly access fee.
After enrollment, clients will license our software and purchase adaptable hardware that will enable the drone to navigate anywhere the client needs to deliver the package. Advanced technology allows for this task to be accomplished to within a close proximity of the given target. However, to eliminate errant landings, a “mobile landing pad” will be distributed to all recipients who wish to make use of drone deliveries that require hyper-accurate landings and delivery locations. This will be accomplished through the use of low-level beacons embedded in a durable two-foot by two-foot landing mat that focus the done on a given spot. The mat size is designed to ensure that the client places it in a safe area; if the mat is able lay flat, it is in a good location. We planexpect this design will allow the drone to sellland both securely and in the exact spot desired.
Technology, Manufacturing and Suppliers
The Company has engaged hardware and software engineers, consultants, and third-party manufacturers to develop SkyPort prototypes, with Beta testing expected to take place in the first and second calendar quarters of 2015. The Company expects to have a fully functional prototype capable of line-of-sight flight by the end of the second quarter of 2015, with the development of more advanced units functioning beyond line-of-sight capabilities to follow. The Company currently anticipates building all units in the United States, with the exception of an insignificant amount of sub-components that may be produced overseas.
Market Opportunity
The Company’s potential customer base includes any person or commercial establishment that can and wants to utilize this type of drone technology. Currently, customers are expected to be drawn mostly from the home-delivery commerce segment, but there are additional potential uses of drone technology, including aerial photography, real estate applications, and use in agriculture, and any of these users could also potentially be interested in utilizing the SkyPort model. The Company currently expects to implement a commercialization model in which any interested user can enroll for an annual membership fee and a monthly access charge.
Intellectual Property
The Company currently has a patent pending related to technology utilized by the SkyPort units and support network (EDEN) program that allows for the function of door-to-door delivery and limitless flight time without returning to home base for recharging. The patent application was filed by Ezra Green and subsequently assigned to Spiral. (For a description of the Company’s patents related to the XTRAX® remote monitoring system, please see “XTRAX® Remote Monitoring System - Intellectual Property,” below.)
Regulatory Approvals
Commercial drone activity is presently not lawful. The Company has not yet begun the process of seeking regulatory approvals to produce or use its drone support technology for measuringthe purposes described above. We anticipate beginning the regulatory approval process following the completion of our testing and development process and after the FAA issues final rules.
While the Company produces drone support technology and not drones themselves, drones and the broad field of (“UAS”) will be subject to extensive regulation in the United States. The Company’s ability to successfully develop, market and sell its SkyPort technology will depend in large part on the ability of commercial drone manufacturers, operators and vendors to successfully operate within this regulatory framework. See “Risk Factors”.
Competition
The Company’s competitors in the drone support space include Germany-based SkySense, Inc.’s Skysense Charging Pad, which that company’s website describes as an indoor-outdoor remote-controlled charging station dock with electric power input that is compatible with a variety of drone platforms. According to that company’s website, the product is available for pre-order with delivery expected in 2015 and models cost between $649 and $4,365. These rechargers are not for constant or commercial remote use and can have adverse effects on the batteries they charge through lack of charge balancing leading to the premature “death” of the battery. In addition, to the Company’s knowledge, this company and other companies focused on recharge technology are not designing or building a network of stations allowing for growth-based commerce.
XTRAX® Remote Monitoring System
The Company’s secondary business focus is on developing and commercializing the XTRAX® remote monitoring system. XTRAX® is designed to measure the production of solar and other renewable energy systems and for transmission of the data via the cellular and radio frequency network and potentially via microwave transmission network or satellite (the XTRAX® unit does not currently have the capacity for transmission via microwave and satellite) separately, or in conjunction with solar system installations. From inception throughPrior to April 25, 2013, we purchased one residential power plan solar customer agreement for the design, permitting, construction, installation, testing and activation of a solar photovoltaic system. We were originally founded to focusCompany was focused on exploring and developing potential technology for application of holographic technology to solar energy systems, but have abandoned that objective after ourthe Company’s planned holography expert retired. On April 25, 2013, wethe Company purchased the patents and trademarks relating to the XTRAX® remote monitoring system from Carbon 612 Corporation and one of its creditors. Also on such date, our boardFor further discussion of directorsthe Company’s XTRAX®-related intellectual property, please see “Intellectual Property,” below.

XTRAX® is the Company’s patented system for remote real-time monitoring of the energy production of solar and other renewable energy systems and for providing fault notification. The system consists of a central database server and remote energy meters. The server routinely accesses the remote meters to recover the energy reading of solar, wind, geo-thermal, tidal, and other types of non-fossil fuel energy systems. The meter installed at the alternative energy system site constantly monitors the system to provide energy metering and real-time system failure detection. In case of system failure, the meter will automatically contact the server to report the type of failure. XTRAX® can also be used to sub-monitor portions of larger-scale commercial or utility sized systems to increase efficiency and reporting of performance by monitoring "strings" or "lines" individually. XTRAX® can also be used for third party verification of other production monitoring devices. The XTRAX® system as a whole provides automated billing and reporting plus the ability for users to retrieve reports from a dedicated website.
Market Opportunity
The Company plans to sell XTRAX® to photovoltaic installers, utilities and owners (primarily residential or small-scale commercial, industrial and agricultural sites) of existing and future renewable energy system installations. The Company believes that XTRAX® will enable us to acquire and validate Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and provide information regarding greenhouse gas emissions that may support the generation of carbon credits. A carbon credit is equivalent to one metric ton of carbon dioxide prevented from entering the atmosphere and has a market-driven value depending on the type and origin of the emission reduction produced. Carbon credits are mostly purchased by governments and corporations which have a legal obligation to reduce their carbon footprint.
The XTRAX® Remote Access Energy Monitor System was designed specifically for the domestic REC market, as well as the commercial markets, regional and international production-based incentive programs and for the international carbon credit market. RECs, also known as Green Tags, Renewable Energy Certificates, and Tradable Renewable Certificates, are non-tangible energy commodities in the United States. One REC is considered proof that one megawatt hour of renewable energy has been created. Although electricity suppliers can purchase RECs directly from renewable energy project executive,owners, the market has created a need for aggregators, which purchase RECs from many sources and sell the RECs in a bundled fashion. The Company believes that the capabilities of the XTRAX® unit to ourprovide automated verifiable data presents the Company with a good opportunity to obtain significant market share.
An XTRAX® unit may be physically attached to any renewable energy system that produces electricity. The unit records the amount of power that is generated by the given system by measuring the power that passes through the electrical wires of the system and automatically transmits data on a daily basis to servers that host software that converts the amount of electricity passed during that specific time period into “kilowatt hours,” or “kWhs.” When the total amount of kWhs are compiled over the course of a given month, the information is transmitted to a “trading” facility that values the accumulated kWhs produced from the renewable energy system and calculates the number of carbon credits, which can then be traded at prices ranging from $10 to $40 per ton depending on the market.
The Company’s business model is to distribute and install XTRAX® on all new sub-100kW systems in the United States, as well as internationally in order to capture small-system production information. The XTRAX® units will be installed by a third-party professional technician. The Company will not remain the owner of the system but will charge a monitoring fee of $8.95-$29.95 per month per residential client, or more for larger-scale clients or sub metering contracts. Although these prices may fluctuate in different regions, the pricing described here is indicative of the general model.
Suppliers
While the circuit board and firmware used in connection with the manufacturing of the product are proprietary, all components and parts in an XTRAX® unit are readily available in the market. The Company will provide the proprietary design to the vendor, after which the vendor can produce the boards. Once the Company designs a printed circuit board many companies are available to produce that board. The Company intends to outsource manufacturing and assembly of the XTRAX® units.
Competition
If and when XTRAX ® is commercialized, the Company will face competition. Many of the Company’s competitors are larger with more established businesses than us and have substantially greater resources than the Company does.
Potential competitors may include Centrosolar America, Inc.’s CentroData monitoring system for residential photovoltaic installations, which offers web-based, not cellular, monitoring; AlsoEnergy, Inc.’s PowerTrack product which, according to their website, appears to be primarily directed to immediately detect any problem in a photovoltaic installation with immediate automated alerts to minimize downtime; AlsoEnergy, Inc.’s DECK Monitoring, a basic residential revenue-grade meter that is focused on system performance; Locus Energy, LLC’s web-based residential revenue grade meter that records performance data and stores it on a website for viewing by the homeowner or the homeowner’s installation contractor; and Energy, Inc.’s The Energy Detective lines of web-based meters, which are not revenue grade, are designed to measure and report the usage of electricity, can be installed by a skilled homeowner, but cannot be used to receive rebates, financing or trade credits.
Regulatory Matters
The Company’s proposed operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations relating to worker safety, zoning, building and electrical codes, and the use, storage, discharge and disposal of environmentally sensitive materials. The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations and requirements that affect its business. Further, the Company believes that compliance with such laws, rules, regulations and requirements does not impose a material impediment on the Company’s ability to conduct business.
Before the Company can complete development and commercialization of XTRAX® units, the following steps need to occur:
| ● | The XTRAX® unit needs to be listed by Underwriters Laboratory (“UL”) or receive the ETL Listed Mark, which tests the product for safety. This is known as the UL or ETL listing. The Company has submitted samples and information to UL, and responded to their questions, however recent funding will enable us to continue with proper certifications. Furthermore, submission of test units to UL was delayed so that the Company could complete certain software modifications and also complete third party verification by an independent testing laboratory of the accuracy of the measurements by XTRAX® units. The Company has already made certain changes requested by UL. In order to allow UL to complete their testing and list XTRAX®, the Company will need to provide UL with six units, at an estimated cost of $1,940, and pay UL $14,950 for their services. The Company plans to obtain the listing by the end of the 2cd quarter of 2015. |
| ● | After UL listing is obtained, the product needs to be approved by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), similar to the UL listing process, because there are some magnetic emissions from the unit. The Company believes XTRAX® meets the FCC requirements and expects FCC approval will follow UL listing by approximately six weeks. |
| ● | Following the UL listing and FCC approval, the Company will need to get technical approval from the cellular network carriers, which test the product for possible interference with other products. The Company does not anticipate difficulty obtaining carrier approval. |
The Company does not believe that the UL listing, FCC approval and technical approval from cellular network carriers represent ongoing compliance matters. However, the Company can begin to offer the XTRAX® product to the market, and seek to generate revenues, only after the Company has obtained all of these approvals. The Company currently expects to begin offering XTRAX® units to the market in 2015.
Intellectual Property
In April 2013 the Company acquired the U.S. patent for a “Remote Access Energy Meter System and Method” (No. 7,336,201 – issued on February 26, 2008, and expiring on January 3, 2026) from one of Carbon 612 Corporation’s creditors for the purposes of using the patented technology in the Company’s own installations and operations. The Company also acquired the governing trademark from Carbon 612 Corporation. The patent covers remote monitoring through the use of one piece of electronic hardware via the wireless cellular network. In addition, the patent applies specifically to any energy generation facility that uses a power inverter to convert DC to AC electricity. By comparison, the Company believes that its competitors provide remote monitoring through the use of several distinct pieces of electronic hardware via the internet.
The elements of the Company’s potential product that are protected by the patent are:
| ● | the communication of the system performance data via the cellular network or by microwave or satellite (the XTRAX® unit does not currently have the capacity for transmission via microwave and satellite); and |
| ● | the ability to provide real-time energy production values and system failure parameters. |
In addition, the patent states that the energy source may be a source other than solar photovoltaic. Such other energy sources may include solar, wind, geo-thermal, tidal, and other types of non-fossil fuel dependent energy generation facilities as our new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.well as conventional fossil fuel driven energy installations.

Overview
XTRAX ® is our patented system for remote real-time monitoring of the energy production of solar and other renewable energy systems and for providing fault notification. The system consists of a central database server and remote energy meters. The server routinely accesses the remote meters to recover the energy reading of solar , wind, geo-thermal, tidal, and other types of non-fossil fuel energy systems. The meter installed at the alternative energy system site constantly monitors the system to provide energy metering and real-time system failure detection. In case of system failure the meter will automatically contact the server to report the type of failure. XTRAX ® can also be used to sub-monitor portions of larger scale commercial or utility sized systems to increase efficiency and reporting of performance by monitoring "strings" or "lines" individually. Examples of large scale solar “farms”, as they are known in the industry, can be made up of thousands of individual solar panels which are combined in series of ten solar panels, creating what is known as a “string”. Each string is wired to a “combiner box” which usually holds 5 strings. Our technology can be installed to monitor each string or each combiner box, depending on the level of monitoring the client requires. Our technology is also capable of monitoring each individual panel but we feel this level of monitoring is not cost effective for the client and do not offer this option. XTRAX ® can also be used for third party verification of other production monitoring devices.
The design philosophy behind XTRAX ® is to avoid using relatively expensive personal computers for simple monitoring tasks. The XTRAX ® hardware monitor uses a minimalist approach by integrating a microcontroller, an energy measurement device, a cellular card and miscellaneous interface components to provide a small and low cost hardware platform. This platform is capable of being utilized for a variety of measurements including, but not limited to, electrical energy production, temperature, volume and flow. It canCompany also provide alerts if the system under measurement malfunctions. The XTRAX ® hardware monitor utilizes a database application for the retrieval and reporting of data to owners, customers, and aggregators. Data is regularly reported to the server via the cellular network. We also intend to make the necessary changes to the unit such that communications may be via microwave or satellite technology (the XTRAX® unit does not currently have the capacity for transmission via microwave and satellite). The XTRAX ® system as a whole provides automated billing and reporting plus the ability for users to retrieve reports from a dedicated website.
The XTRAX® system can currently perform all of the functions described above; however, we have not yet consummated any sales of the product to potential customers because, prior to such sales, the following needs to occur:
● | The XTRAX® unit needs to be listed by Underwriters Laboratory, which tests the product for safety. This is known as the UL listing. We have submitted samples and information to UL, and responded to their questions, but we do not have the necessary funding to pay UL’s fee and to provide UL the number of units they require for further testing before they can grant a UL listing. Furthermore, submission of test units to Underwriters Laboratory was delayed so that we could complete certain software modifications and also complete third party verification by an independent testing laboratory of the accuracy of the measurements by XTRAX® units. Independent laboratory testing was mostly completed for the XTRAX® residential meter and all of the samples were found to be compliant with accuracy standards set by the American National Standards Institute, or ANSI. The meter's accuracy was determined to be well above such standards established by ANSI, which is the organization that establishes the standards generally accepted by industry for products, services, processes, systems and personnel in the United States, including the accuracy of meters. The testing by the independent laboratory produced statistically significant results, and did not indicate any negative results. Future testing will be performed on the XTRAX® small commercial meter to confirm that our technology is capable of monitoring up to 25KW without loss of performance. At this juncture we are only targeting up to 25 KW systems but intend to test up to 100 KW systems in our next round of testing. Both systems are identical in nature and technology.
We have already made certain changes requested by UL and we believe we will obtain the UL listing. In order to allow UL to complete their testing and list XTRAX® we will need to provide UL with six units, at an estimated cost of $1,940, and pay UL $14,950 for their services. This fee covers testing of both our residential and small commercial units. We currently lack sufficient funds to pay this fee and provide the six units. We plan to obtain the listing by the end of the second quarter of 2014. Further, at the completion of this testing, UL may require us to make further changes, provide additional units for testing and pay additional fees.
|
● | After UL listing is obtained, the product needs to be approved by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), because there are some magnetic emissions from the unit. Similarly to the UL listing process, the FCC approval process involves submitting samples and information, testing by the FCC, responding to FCC questions, and possibly making changes to the product if necessary to obtain their approval. We believe that, after obtaining UL listing, the FCC approval will be forthcoming as we believe XTRAX® meets the FCC requirements. We expect to receive FCC approval approximately six weeks following UL Listing. |
● | Following the UL listing and FCC approval, we will need to get technical approval from the cellular network carriers, which test the product for possible interference with other products. Similarly to the UL and FCC approval process, the cellular network approval process involves submitting samples and information, testing by the carriers, responding to the carriers’ questions, and possibly making changes to the product if necessary to obtain the approval. We believe that the product will be approved by the carriers. We do not believe that the UL listing, FCC approval and technical approval from cellular network carriers represent ongoing compliance matters. We expect to receive the technical approval approximately six weeks following receipt of FCC approval. |
● | We can begin to offer the XTRAX® product to the market, and seek to generate revenues, only after we have obtained all three of these approvals. We currently expect to begin offering XTRAX® units to the market in 2014. |
● | We plan to sell XTRAX® to photovoltaic (sometimes called “solar electric” or “PV”) installers, utilities and owners (primarily residential or small scale commercial, industrial and agricultural) of existing and future renewable energy system installations. We believe that XTRAX® will enable us to acquire and validate Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and provide information regarding greenhouse gas emissions that may support the generation of Carbon Credits. Development of our XTRAX ® system may also open other potential markets, such as the ability to monitor heat and flow rates for such applications as irrigation, oil well monitoring, and solar-thermal measurement. We have begun beta testing of our proprietary software, and we expect to outsource the manufacturing of XTRAX® units. We currently plan to commercially launch XTRAX® in 2014. |
XTRAX ® Recurring Revenue Model
The XTRAX® Remote Access Energy Monitor System was designed specifically for the domestic Renewable Energy Credit (REC) market, regional and international production based incentive programs and for the international Carbon Credit Market (CCM). The system utilizes the existing cellular network infrastructure thereby eliminating the need for LAN/WAN or any other hardwired network systems.
In extreme remote conditions the system will be developed so it can also make use of satellite or microwave communications (the XTRAX® unit does not currently have the capacity for transmission via microwave and satellite).
RECs, also known as Green Tags, Renewable Energy Certificates, and Tradable Renewable Certificates, are non-tangible energy commodities in the United States. One REC is considered proof that one megaWatt hour of renewable energy has been created. RECs were created as a means for electricity suppliers to comply with Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). To date, there are 29 states with an RPS requirement. Rules governing the administration of an RPS and the treatment of RECs typically vary by state. Typically, RECs have a price ceiling dictated by the state’s public utility board and some boards have also set price floors. Although electricity suppliers can purchase RECs directly from renewable energy project owners, the market has created a need for aggregators. These aggregators purchase RECs from many sources and sell the RECs in a bundled fashion. We believe that over time aggregators will refuse to accept paper reports from system owners and will require automated verifiable data and, should that actually occur, we should have a very good opportunity to obtain significant market share based on the capabilities of the XTRAX® unit.
Within some REC markets there is a Solar REC (SREC) market. We know of seven states with SREC markets in addition to Washington DC. SRECs differ from RECs in that they are generated only at facilities utilizing solar energy as opposed to wind or other renewable energy sources. This is an important distinction in states where an RPS has a Solar Carve-Out. A Solar Carve-Out specifically dictates the amount of energy that must be generated by solar energy within the electric generator’s portfolio and often values solar generation at a higher rate than other renewable generation. This higher valuation is often achieved through a Solar Alternative Compliance Payment (SACP). An SACP is the monetary penalty that electricity suppliers must pay if their Solar Carve-Out requirements are not met.
A carbon credit is equivalent to one metric ton of carbon dioxide prevented from entering the atmosphere. Each credit has a market driven value depending on the type and the origin of the emission reduction produced. Carbon credits are mostly purchased by governments and corporations which have a legal obligation to reduce their carbon footprint. The market has a limit or “cap” of how much of each pollutant can be emitted. Companies are then issued emission permits and are required to hold an equivalent number of credits. The total number of credits cannot exceed the cap so that emissions are limited to that level. The goal is to allow market mechanisms to drive industrial and commercial processes in the direction of lower emissions or less carbon intensive approaches than those used when there is no cost to emitting. A bill was before the U.S. Senate in its 2009-2010 session that would create a national level cap and trade system but it was not passed and its future passage is uncertain. The state of California implemented a cap and trade system in 2012.
An XTRAX® unit may be physically attached to any renewable energy system that produces electricity. The unit records the amount of power that is generated by the given system by measuring the power that passes through the electrical wires of the system. The unit records this data and automatically transmits it on a daily basis to servers that host software that converts the amount of electricity passed during that specific time period into “Kilowatt hours”. When the total amount of kWHs are compiled over the course of a given month, the information is transmitted to a “trading” facility that values the accumulated KWHs produced from the renewable energy system. The trading facility will calculate the number of tons of carbon dioxide not produced as a result of the renewable energy system. The calculation ratio is one kWH of renewable electricity created by the renewable energy system for every pound of carbon dioxide that is not released into the atmosphere. For example, 10,000 kWHs of renewable energy eliminates approximately 5.25 tons of carbon dioxide and results in approximately 5.25 “tons” of carbon credits. Carbon credits are usually traded in “tons” and have different values that range in price from $10 to $40 per ton depending on the market.
The Spiral Energy Tech., Inc. business model is to distribute and install XTRAX® on all sub-100kW systems in the United States as well as internationally in order to capture small-system production information. We believe that currently there are no reliable and cost effective methods of accurately collecting this data from small systems which makes monetizing the credits and incentives from smaller systems of little or no value.
The XTRAX® units will be installed by a “third party professional” who will be paid by the Company pursuant to a contract between the Company and the owner of the system, whether it be the homeowner or a finance company. Third party professionals are trained technicians who are familiar with our technology and who will be able to install large volumes of units in an efficient manner. The Company will not remain the owner of the system.
XTRAX® will be installed on existing small systems, usually residential, where our patented hardware will monitor kW production, including but not limited to time of day production, then send this data autonomously to our in-house servers where it is managed by our copyrighted software. The software takes the kW data and assigns it a value according to individual client contracts.
Our fees will be based on purchase of the “REC” or “CCM” or production based incentive programs and can be traded or offered on the “spot” market, each according to the requirements of the client. These fees will be set out in the installation contract. Potential clients include homeowners, business owners or anyone who owns the rights to the RECs or CCMs such as aggregators, finance companies or power purchase agreement (“PPA”) providers and regional utilities that offer their own incentives.
The model is for us to charge a monitoring fee of $8.95-$29.95 per month per residential client or more for larger scale clients or sub metering contracts.
We believe the value we will offer our clients under our XTRAX ® platform is based on the following:
1) No upfront cost to the customer.
2) Autonomous data collection. No one is required to read a meter and submit a hand written report.
3) Client receives a check or direct bank deposit for verified credits collected that were previously elusive.
4) Accurate and verifiable data in an electronic format. At this time homeowners have to complete forms (if they remember to do so and do it accurately and legibly) by hand and mail this paper report to the aggregator, who then has to deal with the paper, enter the data which may or may not be correct or legible. These issues reduce the price the homeowner is paid. It is not effective to manually collect small amounts of data from a large number of homeowners and submit the data for monetization.
5) Client receives automatic notifications in the event that their system is not functioning.
We will convert the data received into the electronic format required by aggregators that sell the credits to utilities, or when enough XTRAX® units are in place, by us directly to utilities as we could then become an aggregator and retain the profit now earned by aggregators. The utilities would pay the aggregators (or us) via electronic transfer, the aggregator would transfer our share to us and we would, after deducting the monthly fee from each homeowner or other user of an XTRAX® unit, remit the balance due via direct deposit if the client has a bank account or mail a check if they do not have a bank account. Utilization of electronic transfer of funds reduces cost and avoids the necessity of preparing and mailing checks or using credit cards which are sometimes cancelled or allowed to lapse by card holders, causing further problems.
XTRAX ® Server
The XTRAX® Server utilizes an automated data retrieval and reporting system. The server will maintain a database of meter information. The primary meter identification will be the remote site’s communication access number. For installations using a cellular modem this will be the modem’s eleven digit phone number. The server will regularly and automatically access the remote meters to recover and record current energy production totals. Current energy data will be compared to previously retrieved data to calculate energy production. Meter access can be configured to occur monthly, weekly, daily, or hourly or may be customized to specific needs. Automated remote access can be scheduled for any time. Meters will be non-functional during electric power blackout and severe brownout conditions. If the server fails to connect to a meter then site access is rescheduled for the following day. If a second no connect occurs then an error report will be emailed to the system administrator. If subsequent contact is successful and a power fail report has been received then the system assumes a communications failure and logs the event. Problem sites can be tagged for more frequent contact. If the problem persists the site history logs can be used to document the power or communication failures to the authorities responsible for the meter’s site.
The XTRAX® System provides customer access to records and reports via a dedicated website. Customers may view their energy production, error logs, and update their password and email address. Customer access is protected by username and password login. The Server automatically creates energy production statements for delivery to energy credit aggregators.
XTRAX ® Meter
The XTRAX® meter is a real-time energy meter that is also capable of monitoring real-time operating parameters in order to detect system failures. The XTRAX® meter records and monitors use of energy through a sensor that senses the exact amount of electricity passing through a system. This data is then periodically sent to our computers or we can ask the device for the information upon demand. Upon reaching our computers we interpret that data as a certain number of kWs with a date and time stamp.
Energy totals are registered and stored in non-volatile memory in case of power failure. Non-volatile memory refers to computer memory that can retrieve information even when not powered, for example flash memory . The system will be able to detect and report system failure to the server. The meter circuitry is powered from the remote site’s standard AC service. The meter will be non-functional during electric power blackout and severe brownout conditions. Upon resumption of utility power the system will automatically report the failure to the server. The remote interface provides access to the unit from the server for monitoring energy produced. The remote interface is also used by the meter to report system failure to the server.
The hardware platform for the meter is designed to provide a flexible meter solution for different energy installation configurations. The meter is capable of monitoring single and single split-phase power as found in most residential installations as well as three phase power as found in industrial installations.
The meter utilizes a standard revenue grade current transformer device to measure the power output. The Company previously intended to use a meter that would utilize a unique current sensor coil design in the form of a flexible open coil that would be installed on active conductors. A coil design meter is built as a solid circle, which requires the installing electrician to perform additional work to complete the installation. A revenue grade transformer, on the other hand, “wraps” around a wire, allowing for faster installation times. The meter that used a unique sensor coil design was not sufficiently accurate so the Company decided to utilize the standard device.
Potential Improvements
Potential improvements in our XTRAX ® technology and related applications that we are pursuing or plan to pursue include the following:
Expanded Capabilities
We are working to configure XTRAX ® to monitor and report additional parameters including heat and liquid flow. This would open the possibility of our pursuing the following applications, either directly or through licensing:
(i) Remote verification of water usage quantities, flow rate, and quality. Potential customers include golf courses, municipalities, irrigation systems, and governmental agencies or businesses involved in environmental testing.
(ii) Remotely monitoring the volume in petroleum storage tanks.
(iii) Remotely monitoring the production of solar-thermal energy systems.
(iv) Remotely monitoring air and water quality.
Greater Distances
We are developing MAXTRAX™, a remote monitoring product that uses microwave radio and satellite uplinks. Through this product, we hope to be able to offer monitoring in isolated, rural locations in which XTRAX ®, using its cellular capability, would not be effective. MAXTRAX ™ is currently in the planning stage and preliminary development work has been initiated.
Market Opportunity
The price of oil in U.S. dollars has fluctuated widely over the past three years. While overall energy demand declined with the global economic meltdown, demand is widely expected to increase rapidly as the economic recovery gains traction. This volatility causes users of oil to be concerned about future costs of energy. We believe that sunlight has long been a vast but underutilized source of energy. We also believe that the combination of recent solar energy technology improvements and the uncertain cost of fossil fuels will provide economic opportunities for the adoption of alternative energy sources. Furthermore, we believe that RECs and Carbon Credits in various countries may grow in demand if the regulatory landscape moves towards market-based cap and trade systems.
Suppliers
While the circuit board and firmware used in connection with the manufacturing of the product are proprietary, all components and parts in an XTRAX® unit are readily available in the market. We will provide the proprietary design to the vendor, after which the vendor can produce the boards. Once we design a printed circuit board many companies are available to produce that board.
We intend to outsource manufacturing and assembly of the XTRAX® units.
Competition
If and when XTRAX ® is commercialized, we will face competition. Many of our competitors are larger with more established businesses than us and have substantially greater resources than we do.
We believe that we will compete based upon our superior technology, customer service and responsiveness to customer needs. We believe that our technology is superior in that it accurately collects system performance data and transmits it over the cellular network to our server where it is formatted into the format required by the aggregator and then transmitted to the aggregator for submission to the buyer in the format the buyer requires.
We have not been able to identify other companies that offer both revenue grade (with accuracy that meets ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards) metering services and also arrange the sale of RECs on behalf of the solar system owner; however, there are multiple companies offering metering services and it is possible for such companies to develop non-infringing software and systems and become involved in the sale of RECs and thereby become direct competitors of ours. With respect to pricing, customers of companies that offer such metering services pay the purchase price of the meter and for either maintenance or upgrades over a period of time, as compared to our planned pricing of installation at no cost to the homeowner in return for a multi-year contract to sell the RECs for the homeowner for a flat monthly fee.
We believe that use of the cellular network is superior to use of the internet as we do not require a permanent connection to the internet or use of a router provided by the homeowner which, depending on the type of connection selected by the homeowner (assuming the homeowner has an existing internet connection), may not be fully reliable. Our patent protects our technology for transmission over the cellular network, as well as via microwave and satellite (the XTRAX® unit does not currently have the capacity for transmission via microwave and satellite). Our business model does not reflect or rely upon any cash generation from patent enforcement actions but rather only includes sales of our services. As a practical matter, since every system user is also connected to the electric grid served by the local utility (for power at night, etc.), if a system did not generate power the owner would get power from the grid and not realize that the solar system is not generating power. This could easily go on for weeks or months. Our service is superior as XTRAX® will also automatically notify the customer if their system is not functioning. XTRAX® will compile the production data autonomously and transmit it to our servers on a preset time schedule or when called by our server to do so. The proprietary software on our server will decipher the data and reconfigure it as required by the aggregator, to whom it is automatically forwarded. The system owner will have no participation in or responsibility for these steps and will not be required to remember to read the meter, complete a paper form and mail it to us. The aggregator will forward our share of its revenue to us. We will then promptly remit the homeowner’s share of the money by direct deposit to the designated bank account rather than our sending a check at some point for deposit by the homeowner.
Because XTRAX ® serves a niche market which is currently neglected, we believe our first mover advantage will be significant. We believe that our patent and patent applications are valid and broadly written and we will seek to determine whether they are being infringed upon when we have greater resources to prosecute any possible infringement.
If and when commercialized, we believe that XTRAX®’s principal monitoring competitors will include:
● | Centro Data’s CentroSolar Data Monitoring System for Residential PV Installations is web based, not cellular, and requires that a communications card be installed in the inverter and that the homeowner have a router for use by its unit. Wireless connection to the router is available with extra components.
|
● | Also Energy LLC sells a product called PowerTrack which, according to their website, appears to be primarily directed to immediately detect any problem in a PV installation with immediate automated alerts to minimize downtime. They offer a revenue grade monitoring system that is an upgrade for all commercial PowerTrack installations that is web based, not cellular.
|
● | Deck Monitoring offers a basic residential revenue grade meter that is focused on system performance.
|
● | Locus Energy offers a web based residential revenue grade meter that records performance data and stores it on a website for viewing by the homeowner or the homeowner’s installation contractor. The unit is sold to the installer, not the homeowner, and the installer would add its labor, overhead and profit to the price to the homeowner.
|
● | Energy, Inc. under the trade name of The Energy Detective offers two lines of web based meters – the TED 1000 and TED 5000 series. These meters are not revenue grade and are designed to measure and report the usage of electricity. They can be installed by a skilled homeowner. These systems cannot be used for any solar systems in order to receive rebates, financing or trade any credits.
|
● | Inverter-specific Communications. Some inverter manufacturers are attempting to improve this technology with new features, such as the Sunny Boy inverters of SMA America, LLC, a subsidiary of SMA Solar Technology, AG, an inverter manufacturer. Such new features include communication capability in the standard inverter required on all PV system interconnections with the grid, through an optional socket modem attached to the existing power line. This software enables continuous monitoring and can record the performance of a PV system on a personal computer through the Windows-based program 'Sunny Data'. The device can also send and receive data and commands to and from a central monitoring device.
|
● | Digi International Inc.’s Digi RPM is an intelligent power control and monitoring device that enables users to remotely turn devices on and off, measure electrical load and monitor ambient temperature and integrate with additional devices to provide power management over Ethernet and Internet connections.
|
● | Draker’s Intelligent Array is a cloud-based software that enables energy monitoring, performance analysis and asset management from web-enabled devices.
|
Notwithstanding the competition noted above, we believe that the market which the XTRAX® is designed to service is neglected in that competitive monitoring products do not provide for the sale of the RECs on behalf of the system owner. In addition, we believe that, in light of the small sizes of residential monitoring systems, we believe that our plan to offer free installation will be more attractive to homeowners. We believe there is no cellular capable monitoring system available today that is part of a system to sell the RECs for the homeowner. In addition, our competitors rely on transmission over the internet, which we believe is less reliable as such transmission depends on hard wiring to the internet connection or use of a router as well as the existence of the customer’s internet connection (assuming the customer is so connected) and the type of connection selected by the customer. Accordingly, we believe that currently there are no methods as reliable and attractive to homeowners as the XTRAX® for accurately collecting this data from small (sub-100 kW) systems, and for monetizing the credits and incentives from smaller systems.
Regulatory Matters
Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations relating to worker safety, zoning, building and electrical codes, and the use, storage, discharge and disposal of environmentally sensitive materials. In addition, we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations and requirements that affect our business. Further, we believe that compliance with such laws, rules, regulations and requirements does not impose a material impediment on our ability to conduct business.
Government Subsidies and Incentives
Various subsidies and tax incentive programs exist at the federal and state level (and recently starting at the local level) to encourage the adoption of solar power including capital cost rebates, performance-based incentives, feed-in tariffs, tax credits and net metering. Capital cost rebates provide funds to customers based on the cost or size of a customer’s solar power system. Performance-based incentives provide funding to a customer based on the energy produced by their solar system. Under a feed-in tariff subsidy, the government sets prices that regulated utilities are required to pay for renewable electricity generated by end-users. The prices are set above market rates and may be differentiated based on system size or application. Feed-in tariffs pay customers for solar power system generation based on kilowatt-hours (or kWh) produced, at a rate generally guaranteed for a period of time. Tax credits reduce a customer’s taxes at the time the taxes are due. Under net metering, a customer can generate more energy than is used, during which periods the electric meter will spin backwards. During these periods, the customer “lends” electricity to the grid, retrieving an equal amount of power at a later time. Net metering programs enable end-users to sell excess solar electricity to their local utility in exchange for a credit against their utility bills. Net metering programs are usually combined with rebates, and do not provide substantial cash payments if delivered solar electricity exceeds their utility bills. In addition, several states have adopted renewable portfolio standards, or RPS, which mandate that a certain portion of electricity delivered by utilities to customers come from a list of eligible renewable energy resources. Some programs further specify that a portion of the renewable energy quota must be from solar generated electricity.
Despite the benefits of solar power, there are also certain risks and challenges faced by users of solar power. Solar power is heavily dependent on government subsidies to promote acceptance by mass markets. We believe that the near-term growth in the solar energy industry depends significantly on the availability and size of these government subsidies and on the ability of the industry to reduce the cost of generating solar electricity. A key goal with respect to generation of electricity from solar energy is the ability to do so at the same cost as buying electricity off the grid from the local utility. This is referred to as “grid parity”. There is no assurance when or if grid parity will ever be achieved. We believe that the market for solar energy products is, and for some time will continue to be, heavily dependent on public policies that support growth of solar energy. There can be no assurances that such policies will continue. Decrease in the level of rebates, incentives or other governmental support for solar energy would have an adverse affect on our ability to sell our products.
We believe trends in government programs are favorable with respect to the adoption of solar energy products. At the national level President Barack Obama has made many public comments about the need for the United States to achieve energy independence and his view that reaching that goal will create many new jobs and therefore be beneficial for the economy as well as national security. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), enacted on October 3, 2008, extended the 30-percent solar investment tax credit (“ITC”) for eight years, lifted the cap for residential PV installations, allowed application of the tax credits against the alternative minimum tax and removed the prohibition against utilities’ use of the ITC. This long-term policy stability will help companies in the U.S. solar market make longer-term investment decisions and attract better financing. In February 2009 an alternative cash rebate in lieu of the ITC became available, since the ITC only has value if the owner has a US tax liability. This change made it more attractive for non-US entities to consider financing solar energy projects in the US. Provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act include a 30-percent tax credit for renewable energy manufacturing facilities and a loan guarantee program for renewable energy projects. Accelerated depreciation is also available to solar energy project owners.
At the state level, several states, most notably California and New Jersey, have required electric utilities to generate increasing proportions of their output from renewable sources, including solar. This is often referred to as a Renewable Portfolio Standard. If the utility does not meet the targets they are required to pay a fine and the utilities can purchase renewable energy credits to meet their requirement from others who do generate electricity from solar or other renewable sources. Some utilities may over time build their own renewable sources, such as solar or wind farms. Until they have their own sources of renewable energy the amount of the fine sets the maximum price the utility will pay to others. Other states have somewhat similar programs and some localities, such as Berkeley, California, have their own programs to support solar energy systems. We believe, based on such trends in government programs, that there is an increasing interest in organizations, both public sector and private business, to “go green”. This trend, we believe, will carry over to the residential area and more and more individuals will want to have “green” homes and this will, over time, increase the market that XTRAX® is designed to serve.
The major government subsidies for solar systems of the type we install are the 30 percent investment tax credit enacted for eight years in 2008, and the alternative equal cash subsidy enacted in 2009, as well as accelerated depreciation allowances in the Internal Revenue Code. Although the recent increase in the federal budget deficit may negatively affect the resources available for these subsidies, there is no indication that we are aware of that these benefits will be reduced or repealed by Congress, particularly in light of President Obama’s continued emphasis on the need for alternative clean energy sources. Similarly, recent increases in deficits at the state level may negatively impact resources for state renewable energy incentive programs, and there is currently a trend towards reducing state renewable energy incentive programs. However, there are currently 16 states that have instituted specific programs for SREC’s and we are not aware of any reported reductions or suspensions of any such specific SREC programs. The RECs that are available in states are paid for by private parties under legal structures established by each state so they are not vulnerable to state budget issues. The industry relies on these subsidies and we know of no trend in the industry that would negatively affect them.
Prior to its commercialization, which we currently expect to be in 2014, XTRAX ® will need to be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) and receive approval from the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) due to certain low level magnetic emissions from the XTRAX ® unit. In addition, it will have to be certified by various cellular network operators as meeting technical requirements for devices that communicate via the cellular network. We currently believe that the UL listing, the FCC approval and these certifications will be obtained by such time.
The process by which such approvals need to be obtained is as follows:
● | The XTRAX® unit needs to be listed by Underwriters Laboratory, which tests the product for safety. This is known as the UL listing. We have submitted samples and information to UL, and responded to their questions, but we do not have the necessary funding to pay UL’s fee and to provide UL the number of units they require for further testing before they can grant a UL listing. Furthermore, submission of test units to Underwriters Laboratory was delayed so that we could complete certain software modifications and also complete third party verification by an independent testing laboratory of the accuracy of the measurements by XTRAX® units. The third party verification has been obtained and we are currently in discussions with UL to determine what we need to submit to UL for UL’s evaluation; as such, we have not yet submitted the necessary test units to UL. We have already made certain changes requested by UL and we believe we will obtain the UL listing. In order to allow UL to complete their testing and list XTRAX® we will need to provide UL with six units, at an estimated cost of $1,940, and pay UL $14,950 for their services. This fee covers testing of both our residential and small commercial units. We currently lack sufficient funds to pay this fee and provide the six units. Further, at the completion of this testing, UL may require us to make further changes, provide additional units for testing and pay additional fees. |
● | After UL listing is obtained, the product needs to be approved by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), because there are some emissions from the unit. Similarly to the UL listing process, the FCC approval process involves submitting samples and information, testing by the FCC, responding to FCC questions, and possibly making changes to the product if necessary to obtain the approval. We believe that, after obtaining UL listing, the FCC approval will be forthcoming as we believe XTRAX® meets the FCC requirements. |
● | Following the UL listing and FCC approval, we will need to get technical approval from the cellular network carriers, which test the product for possible interference with other products using the network. Similarly to the UL and FCC approval process, the cellular network approval process involves submitting samples and information, testing by the carriers, responding to the carriers’ questions, and possibly making changes to the product if necessary to obtain the approval. We believe that the product will be approved by the carriers. |
We can begin to offer the XTRAX® product to the market, and seek to generate revenues, only after we have obtained all three of these approvals which we currently expect to occur in 2014.
Intellectual Property
In April 2013 we acquired the U.S. patent for a “Remote Access Energy Meter System and Method” (No. 7,336,201 – issued on February 26, 2008, and expiring on January 3, 2026). In May 2013 we sold the patent to Endeavor IP, Inc., which granted to us a personal, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive and worldwide license (without the right to sublicense) to, among other things, develop, distribute and sell our products and services covered by the patent. The patent covers remote monitoring through the use of one piece of electronic hardware via the wireless cellular network. In addition, the patent applies specifically to any energy generation facility that uses a power inverter to convert DC to AC electricity. By comparison, we believe that our competitors provide remote monitoring through the use of several distinct pieces of electronic hardware via the internet.
The elements of our potential product that are protected by the patent are:
● | the communication of the system performance data via the cellular network or by microwave or satellite (the XTRAX® unit does not currently have the capacity for transmission via microwave and satellite); and |
● | the ability to provide real-time energy production values and system failure parameters. |
In addition, the patent states that the energy source may be a source other than solar photo-voltaic. Such other energy sources may include solar, wind, geo-thermal, tidal, and other types of non-fossil fuel dependent energy generation facilities as well as conventional fossil fuel driven energy installations.
We also own the registered trademark XTRAX®. In addition to ourthe Company’s patent, potential future patent applications, and trademark, wethe Company also havehas trade secrets and know-how.

| ● | No shares of preferred stock |
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably dividends, if any, declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The holders of our common stock will have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of our board of directors and issued in the future.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors will be authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each series of preferred stock will have the number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors and officers. The director or officer must have conducted himself/herself in good faith and reasonably believe that his/her conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, the director, officer, employee or agent must not have had reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful.
Under NRS Section 78.751, advances for expenses may be made by agreement if the director or officer affirms in writing that he/she believes he/she has met the standards and will personally repay the expenses if it is determined such officer or director did not meet the standards.
We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the NRS would permit indemnification.
The Company also has director and officer indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and directors that provide, among other things, for the indemnification to the fullest extent permitted or required by Nevada law, provided that such indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification in connection with any “claim” (as such term is defined in the agreement) initiated by the indemnitee against the Company or the Company’s directors or officers unless the Company joins or consents to the initiation of such claim, or the purchase and sale of securities by the indemnitee in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Limitation of Liability of Directors
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides a limitation of liability such that no director or officer shall be personally liable to us or any of our stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, involving any act or omission of any such director or officer, provided there was no intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or payment of dividends in violation of NRS Section 78.300.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTIONDISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board,OTCQB, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| ● | conducting business in places where business practices and customs are unfamiliar and unknown; |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; |
| ● | settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus; |
| ● | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of the shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | a combination of any of these methods of sale; or |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Each selling stockholder does not expect these commissions and discounts relating to its sales of shares to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to these broker-dealers or other financial institutions of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares these broker-dealers or other financial institutions may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect these transactions).
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters”���underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In this event, any commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares by the selling stockholders.
LEGAL MATTERS

Report of
IndependentIndependent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Spiral Energy Tech, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Spiral Energy Tech, Inc. (formerly Solid Solar Energy, Inc.), a development stage entity, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, stockholder's deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period January 18, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Spiral Energy Tech, Inc., a development stage entity, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period January 18, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a loss since inception, has insufficient revenue to cover operating costs or develop its operating plan, has an accumulated deficit and may be unable to raise further equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Spiral Energy Tech, Inc.
(fka Solid Solar Energy, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Entity)
Notes to the Audited FinancialFinancial Statements December 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION
Spiral Energy Tech, Inc. (fka Solid Solar Energy, Inc. “The Company”) was incorporated on January 18, 2008 in the State of Nevada as a for-profit Company. The Company was formed to provide residential users access to affordable renewable energy and initially the Company installed and maintained solar energy panel systems on residential housing units at no cost to the end user. Revenue was derived from renewable energy credits/certificates and billing of solar converted electricity. As of April 2013, the Company has been engaged in the distribution and installation of remote monitoring systems for measuring the production of solar and other renewable energy systems and for transmission of the data via the cellular network and potentially via microwave transmission network or satellite.
The Company is headquartered New York, New York. The Company is a development stage company in accordance with ASC 915, Development Stage Entities. The elected year end is December 31.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States (See Note 3 regarding the assumption that the Company is a “going concern”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the period January 18, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013; (b) the financial position at December 31, 2013 and 2012; and (c) cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the period January 18, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013, have been made.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTITY
The Company is a development stage company as defined by section FASB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities.” The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments, primarily accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| · | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities |
| · | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| · | Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
| | | As of December 31, 2013 Fair Value Measuring Using |
| | | Carrying Value | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
Investments in Marketable Securities, available for sale | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2013. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purpose of the financial statements cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents were $35,499 and 5,564 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company’s marketable equity securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the designations at each balance sheet date. The Company classifies its marketable equity securities as either short-term or long-term based on the nature of each security and its availability for use in current operations. The Company’s marketable equity securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of comprehensive income.
Adjustments resulting from the change in fair value, included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholder’s equity, were a gain, net of tax, of $102,110 and $0 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS INCLUDING OTHER ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which is between 3 years for computer equipment and 5-20 years for production equipment. The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment existed at December 31, 2013.
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
REVENUE RECOGNITION

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Share-based expense totaled $0 and $52,074 for the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES AND VALUATION ALLOWANCE
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Deferred tax liabilities totaled $52,602 and $0 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares.
RESTRICTED STOCK
The Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is measurable more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
RECENTLY ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company.
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating cost and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan to obtain such resources for the Company include, obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. In addition, profitability will ultimately depend upon the level of revenues received from business operations and there is no assurance the Company will attain profitability.
The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The following table shows the Company’s available-for-sale security, received from Endeavor IP, Inc. (“ENIP”) (see Note 10) as of December 31, 2013:

ENIP – 300,004 common shares | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
NOTE 5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property consists of equipment purchased for the production of revenues. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

NOTE 6. NOTES PAYABLE
The Company issued a promissory note payable, in the amount of $15,000, resulting from a purchase agreement with the original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), a related party. The note had no defined repayment date, as repayment is upon receiving government energy credits, which was considered to be realizable within one year. There was no stated interest rate on the note. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued interest expense at the applicable federal rate, in the amount of $289, in recognition of the discount effect of the non-interest bearing arrangement. As the expected government energy credits were not realized, the note and accrued interest in the amount of $15,289 were forgiven by the related party during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and recorded as a contribution to equity.
NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company has a deferred tax asset, resulting from benefits of net operating loss carry forward generated from inception, which expire in varying amounts between 2031 and 2033. Management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize deferred tax assets through future operations.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net income (loss) before provision for income taxes. The components of the income tax provision (benefit) for each of the periods presented below are as follows:
| | | Years Ended December 31, | |
| | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | | | | | | | |

Notes to the InterimInterim Financial Statements March 31,September 30, 2014
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESSS
ORGANIZATION
Spiral Energy Tech, Inc. (fka Solid Solar Energy, Inc. “The“the Company”) was incorporated on January 18, 2008 in the State of Nevada as a for-profit Company. The Company was formedis currently focused on two business initiatives: developing and commercializing its proprietary SkyPorts drone support technology and Energy Demand Network designed to provide residential users access to affordable renewable energyenable long distance flight required for drone-based commerce with less frequent recharging, and initiallydeveloping and commercializing the Company installed and maintained solar energy panel systems on residential housing units at no cost to the end user. Revenue was derived from renewable energy credits/certificates and billing of solar converted electricity. As of April 2013, the Company has been engaged in the distribution and installation ofCompany’s XTRAX® remote monitoring systemssystem for measuring the production of solar and other renewable energy systems and for transmission of the data via the cellular and radio frequency network and potentially via microwave transmission network or satellite.satellite (the XTRAX® unit does not currently have the capacity for transmission via microwave and satellite) separately, or in conjunction with solar system installations. From inception through April 25, 2013, the Company purchased one residential power plan solar customer agreement for the design, permitting, construction, installation, testing and activation of a solar photovoltaic system. Spiral was originally founded to focus on exploring and developing potential technology for application of holographic technology to solar energy systems but has abandoned that objective after Spiral’s planned holography expert retired. On April 25, 2013, Spiral purchased the patents and trademarks relating to the XTRAX® remote monitoring system from Carbon 612 Corporation and one of its creditors.
The Company is headquartered New York,Massapequa, New York. The Company is a development stage company in accordance with ASC 915, Development Stage Entities. The elected year end is December 31.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair statement of the periods presented for: (a) the financial position; (b) the result of operations; and (c) cash flows, have been made in order to make the financial statements presented not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States (See Note 3 regarding the assumption that the Company is a “going concern”).
DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTITY
The Company is a development stage company as defined by section FASB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities.” The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| · | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities |
| · | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| · | Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
| | | As of March 31, 2014 Fair Value Measuring Using | | As of September 30, 2014 Fair Value Measuring Using |
| | | Carrying Value | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | | Carrying Value | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | Total |
| Investments in Marketable Securities, available for sale | | $ | 4,550 | | - | | | - | | 4,550 | | $ | 4,550 | | $ | 1,125 | | - | | | 1,125 | | - | $ | 1,125 |

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31,September 30, 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purpose of the financial statements cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents were $143,430$86,193 and $35,499 at March 31,September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company’s marketable equity securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the designations at each balance sheet date. The Company classifies its marketable equity securities as either short-term or long-term based on the nature of each security and its availability for use in current operations. The Company’s marketable equity securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of shareholder’s equity.
Adjustments resulting from the change in fair value, included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholder’s equity, were a loss,income (loss), net of tax, of $105,849($108,109) and $0$235,896 as of March 31,September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS INCLUDING OTHER ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which is between 3 years for computer equipment and 5-20 years for production equipment. The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment existed at March 31,September 30, 2014.
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and estimable in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. The Company contracts with residential households and installs the proprietary energy saving units.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Share-based expense totaled $54,810 and $0 for the periods ending March 31,September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES AND VALUATION ALLOWANCE
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Deferred tax assets totaled $3,092 as of September 30, 2014 and a deferred tax liability totaled $52,602 as of December 31, 2013.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
As of March 31,September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares.
RESTRICTED STOCK
The Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is measurable more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
RECENTLY ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ExceptIn June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements of companies previously identified as “Development Stage Entities” (Topic 915). The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for rulesdevelopment stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, interpretive releasesfor those entities subject to audit, audit costs by eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity. Early application of each of the SEC under authority of federal securities lawsamendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. The Company has adopted this standard and a limited number of grandfathered standards, thewill not report inception to date financial information.
In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”)Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The revenue recognition standard affects all entities that have contracts with customers, except for certain items. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction-and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. Public entities are required to adopt the revenue recognition standard for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Early adoption is not permitted for public entities. The Company has reviewed the sole sourceapplicable ASU and has not, at the current time, quantified the effects of authoritative GAAP literaturethis pronouncement, however it believes that there will be no material effect on the financial statements.
In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12 Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. A performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. As a result, the target is not reflected in the estimation of the award’s grant date fair value. Compensation cost would be recognized byover the FASBrequired service period, if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after 15 December 2015 and applicableinterim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Management has reviewed the ASU and believes that they currently account for these awards in a manner consistent with the new guidance, therefore there is no anticipation of any effect to the Company. financial statements.
In August 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15 Preparation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at the current period, management does not believe that it has met conditions which would subject these financial statements for additional disclosure.
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating cost and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan to obtain such resources for the Company include, obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. In addition, profitability will ultimately depend upon the level of revenues received from business operations and there is no assurance the Company will attain profitability.
The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has considered ASU 2014-15 in consideration of reporting requirements of the going concern financial statements.

The Company issued a promissory note payable, in the amount of $15,000, resulting from a purchase agreement with the original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), a related party. The note had no defined repayment date, as repayment is upon receiving government energy credits, which was considered to be realizable within one year. There was no stated interest rate on the note. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued interest expense at the applicable federal rate, in the amount of $289, in recognition of the discount effect of the non-interest bearing arrangement. As the expected government energy credits were not realized, the note and accrued interest in the amount of $15,289 were forgiven by the related party during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and recorded as a contribution to equity.
NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.
As of December 31, 2012,2013, the Company has a deferred tax asset, resulting from benefits of net operating loss carry forward generated from inception, which expire in varying amounts between 2031 and 2033. Management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize deferred tax assets through future operations.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net income (loss) before provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2013 there was approximately $28,000 in deferred tax assets, which were off-set by an equal valuation allowance.
The Company has not taken positions contrary to the Internal Revenue Code, however, the tax years of 2010 through 2013 remain subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service.
As of March 31,September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had a deferred tax asset of $1,927$3,092 and deferred tax liability of $52,602, respectively, attributable to the valuations (unrealized) of the marketable securities available for sale.

NOTE 10. NONMONETARY TRANSACTIONS
PURCHASE OF ASSETS AND INTELLECUAL PROPERTY
On April 25, 2013, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement, whereby it acquired certain assets and patents from Ragonap, Enterprises, Inc. (“Ragonap”) and Carbon 612 Corporation (“Carbon”), in exchange for 1,652,430 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued a total of 1,652,430 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $86,216$86,214 (the fair market value of the shares exchanged), 1,404,565 common shares were issued to Ragonap and 247,865 common shares were issued to Carbon 612, a company controlled by our Chief Executive Officer. The patents are subject to a 10% royalty on revenues with a cap of $250,000.
Assets acquired were valued on April 25, 2013, as follows:
| | • | | Patents and trademarks, as a group | | $ | 84,364 | |
| | • | | Production equipment | | | 900 | |
| | • | | Office equipment | | | 950 | |
| | | | Total | | $ | 86,214 | |
The Company had purchased the patent from Carbon 612 Corporation for the purposes of using the patented technology in its own installations and operations. As the license is irrevocable, it shall be able to continue to develop the XTRAX® system if the patents are transferred or sold to a third party. However, the patent describes methods that are believed to be used by numerous larger and substantially better capitalized companies in their solar and other installations. The company has no expertise in patent enforcement, which could take many years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Company sold the right to enforce the patent to ENIP, a company that is involved in the enforcement of patents, after review with management and outside counsel that the intellectual property rights and the devices were used by third parties. Experts and enforcement/litigation counsel reviewed the patents and concluded that several entities potentially infringe the patent. ENIP presently has brought actions against two major utilities (Con Edison Solutions, Inc. and Tucson Electric Power Company) and during May 2014 granted one license under which we are entitled to receive 20% of the net proceeds (after payment of legal fees and expenses), or approximately $30,000.
SALE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
On May 13, 2013, the Company finalized and closed a Patent Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Endeavor IP, Inc. ("Endeavor"), a Nevada company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company sold to Endeavor all of the Company's rights, title, and interest in and to certain patents, including without limitation, all extensions, continuations, provisions, derivatives and related applications thereof. On the same day, Endeavor granted the Company a royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive and world-wide license, without the right to sub-license. In exchange for the Patents, Endeavor paid the Company $100,000 and 666,666 shares of its post-split common stock (“ENIP”). Under the terms of a Proceeds Interest Agreement, Endeavor agrees to pay twenty percent (20%) of the net proceeds from any enforcement activities or sale transaction related to the patents. Due to the amount of cash received the sale of intellectual property to Endeavor IP is considered a monetary transaction.
Gain on sale of intellectual property was $88,216. Costs of sale include cash paid for commissions and finders’ fees incurred in the amount of $50,000 at September 30, 2013 and 10% of the value of ENIP common shares totaling $13,620.

At the time of the sale, Paradox Capital Partners LLC was the only known viable prospective source of capital to the Company, the shares were not freely transferable, were legended and were unable to be sold by the Company or Paradox Capital Partners, LLC in the open market.
During July 2014, we paid Paradox Capital Partners LLC $1,048 for a 10% commission on royalty revenues of $10,485, we received from Endeavor in June 2014.
On September 8, 2014, shares previously issued to former Officer, Mr. Bhansali, valued at $5,216,773, were deemed fully vested upon the qualifying event and were recognized as an expense in the quarter ending September 30, 2014.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors and officers. The director or officer must have conducted himself/herself in good faith and reasonably believe that his/her conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, the director, officer, employee or agent must not have had reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful.
Under NRS Section 78.751, advances for expenses may be made by agreement if the director or officer affirms in writing that he/she believes he/she has met the standards and will personally repay the expenses if it is determined such officer or director did not meet the standards.
We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the NRS would permit indemnification.
The Company also has director and officer indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and directors that provide, among other things, for the indemnification to the fullest extent permitted or required by Nevada law, provided that such indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification in connection with any “claim” (as such term is defined in the agreement) initiated by the indemnitee against the Company or the Company’s directors or officers unless the Company joins or consents to the initiation of such claim, or the purchase and sale of securities by the indemnitee in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
