NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION & CHANGES IN OR ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of American Security Resources Corporation (“ASRC”, “the Company”, “we” or “us”) have been prepared by ASRC without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted or condensed pursuant to such r ules and regulations. These statements should be read in conjunction with ASRC’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in ASRC’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In management’s opinion, these interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for each of the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for the entire year.
The consolidated financial statements of ASRC include the accounts of ASRC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hydra Fuel Cell, Inc., American Hydrogen Corporation and American Wind Power Corporation. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in th e balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, ASRC incurred recurring losses from continuing operations of $24,590,460since re-entering the development stage through June 30, 2010. This condition creates an uncertainty as to ASRC’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock either through private placements or public offerings, as well as seeking other sources of funding. There are no assurances that ASRC will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain the additional financing through private placements or public offerings to support the investment in Hydra’s fuel cell technology. If these funds are not available ASRC may not continue its operations or execute its busines s plan. The conditions raise substantial doubt about ASRC’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should ASRC be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
At June 30, 2010, the Company had convertible debentures outstanding as follows;
| Outstanding Balance of Convertible Debenture | Unamortized Discount |
| | |
December 13, 2007 Debenture | $350,000 | $350,000 |
February 28, 2008 Debenture | 182,949 | 28,916 |
Total Convertible Debentures at June 30, 2010 | $542,004 | $378,916 |
| | |
Following is a description of each of the convertible debentures listed above:
December 13, 2007 Debenture
The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor on December 13, 2007for the sale of $1,500,000 in a convertible debenture bearing interest at 7.25% per annum, payable on or before December 12, 2010.
In 2010, the Company and the investor reached a settlement agreement whereby both parties agreed to dismiss their respective claims against the other, and mutually agreed the outstanding principal due under the original convertible debenture to the investor of $350,000 would be paid though a stock conversion program, with interest of 7 ¼% from May 1, 2010 until the outstanding principal is fully converted. The settlement agreement provides for daily trading limits of the Company’s common stock by the investor, as well as penalties for violations of the trading restrictions.
As the settlement agreement resulted in a modification of the principal outstanding, payment terms and due dates, we evaluated this agreement pursuant to FASB Statement No. 133 and due to there being no minimum or fixed conversion price resulting in an indeterminate number of shares to be issued in the future, the Company determined an embedded derivative existed and FASB No. 133 applied. In accordance with the option allowed in SFAS 155, the Company has elected to value the derivative separately at the fair value on the issuance date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and bifurcate the instrument. The result of the valuation is a derivative liability in the amount of $436,066 and an offsetting loss on derivative of $2 ,867 and discount on debt of $350,000. We estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes valuation method with assumptions including: (1) term of 1 year; (2) a computed volatility rate from 568 % (3) a discount rate of 0.45% and (4) zero dividends. The discount is equal to the value of the note issued, as it can only be discounted up to the value of the note and is being amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
The instrument was re-valued at period end, and the resulting change of $18,477 was included in the statement of operations as a reduction of the derivative liability.
February 28, 2008 Debenture
On February 28, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor for the sale of an aggregate of $515,000 in a convertible debenture bearing interest at 7.25% per annum, payable on or before February 28, 2012. There was $35,000 in financing costs for this debt issuance. The financing costs were deferred and amortized using the effective interest method.
Pursuant to the convertible debenture the investor may convert the debenture into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 80% of the volume weighted average price for three regular trading days selected by the debenture holder from twenty trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the conversion date.
Effective November 17, 2009, the Company and the Investor entered into a settlement agreement whereby the Investor agreed to a settlement amount of $431,004, including all unpaid principal, interest and penalties, to be paid in cash or common stock of the Company, subject to an ownership limitation, as defined in the settlement agreement. Interest on the settlement amount will accrue at 8.75% beginning November 6, 2009, and all unpaid principal and accrued interest is due on or before December 31, 2010.The Company is subject to certain covenants and reporting requirements. The Company recorded a penalty charge in the fourth quarter of $78,775 in connection with the settlement agreement.
As the settlement agreement resulted in a modification of the principal outstanding, payment terms and due dates, we evaluated this agreement pursuant to FASB Statement No. 133 and due to there being no minimum or fixed conversion price resulting in an indeterminate number of shares to be issued in the future, the Company determined an embedded derivative existed and FASB No. 133 applied. In accordance with the option allowed in SFAS 155, the Company has elected to value the derivative separately at the fair value on the issuance date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and bifurcate the instrument. The result of the valuation is a derivative liability in the amount of $220,474 and an offsetting gain on derivative of $313,593 and discount on debt of $28,916. We estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes valuati on method with assumptions including: (1) term of 1 year; (2) a computed volatility rate from 568% (3) a discount rate of 0.45% and (4) zero dividends. The discount is equal to the value of the note issued, as it can only be discounted up to the value of the note and is being amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
As part of the settlement agreement, the investor agreed to fund the Company $50,000 in January 2010, with subsequent monthly funding of $25,000 for the next 8 months, and the Company agreed to issue new convertible debentures (the “new debentures”) for each funding under the same terms and conditions of the original debentures, with each new debenture issued due on or before December 31, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company received proceeds of $150,000 from the investor for new debentures issued. We evaluated this agreement pursuant to FASB Statement No. 133 and due to there being no minimum or fixed conversion price resulting in an indeterminate number of shares to be issued in the future, the Company determined an embedded derivative existed and FASB No. 133 applied. In accordance with th e option allowed in SFAS 155, the Company has elected to value the derivative separately at the fair value on the issuance date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and bifurcate the instrument. The result of the valuation is a derivative liability in the amount of $220,474 and an offsetting gain on derivative of $313,593 and discount on debt of $28,916. We estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes valuation method with assumptions including: (1) term of .75 to 1 year; (2) a computed volatility rate from 372% (3) a discount rate of 0.45% and (4) zero dividends. The discount is equal to the value of the note issued, as it can only be discounted up to the value of the note and is being amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, $368,934 was amortized and is included in interest expense.
These instruments were re-valued at period end, and the resulting change of $310,022 was included in the statement of operations as a reduction of the derivative liability.
The Company evaluated all convertible debt and outstanding warrants to determine whether these instruments may be tainted from the aforementioned derivative. All warrants outstanding were considered tainted as a result of the derivative treatment. The Company valued these warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The result of the valuation is a derivative liability in the amount of $661,248. We estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes valuation method with assumptions including: (1) term ranging from 1.71 to 2.75 years; (2) a computed volatility rate ranging from 129% to 190% (3) a discount rate ranging from 0.37% to 1.79% and (4) zero dividends. The valuation of these warrants was treated the same way as the liability associated with the debt. There were no other instruments found to be taint ed by the derivative treatment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Our Business
AMERICAN SECURITY RESOURCES CORPORATION (the “Company” or ARSC) is a holding company with three wholly owned subsidiaries. Hydra Fuel Cell Corporation has completed several development stages of the HydraStax® unit and testing for certification is currently underway. We have two additional subsidiaries. We formed American Security Capital Corporation that is to provide financing options for the sales of products created by Hydra Fuel Cell and American Hydrogen. American Hydrogen Corporation is developing technologies to formulate hydrogen that we hope will change the economics of producing hydrogen sufficiently to enable the hydrogen economy.
Hydra Fuel Cell Corporation completed the initial development stage and several advanced stages of the HydraStax® unit and testing for certification is currently underway. We believe that the HydraStax® unit's cost per kWh will be significantly below that of its competitors, giving them a competitive edge as a replacement for residential grid power. Thus, upon certification Hydra intends to aggressively market these units and the Company is actively pursuing financing to begin manufacturing and distribution.
Hydra successfully defended itself from claims of patent infringement brought by a third party in 2006. Hydra’s fuel cell is original and Hydra categorically denied that it infringed on any patents. The Federal Court in Portland, Oregon dismissed the plaintiff’s suit against Hydra in 2008. We estimate that our Hydra Fuel Cell subsidiary will require approximately $1 million to produce and sell HydraStax® units to cash flow self-sufficiency. There is no guarantee that management will be successful in obtaining these funds.
American Hydrogen Corporation (AHC) was created to develop and commercialize technologies to formulate hydrogen that we believe will change the economics of producing hydrogen sufficiently to enable the hydrogen economy. The first hydrogen formulator that AHC will vend is expected to produce hydrogen from natural gas and propane and will be designed to provide hydrogen for Hydra’s fuel cells.
The Company continues to review acquisition opportunities that would enhance its fuel cell offerings and expand its offerings in alternative energy production.
The Company’s Internet address is http://www.americansecurityresources.com. Information contained on the Company’s web site is not a part of this report. The Company’s stock is traded on Pink Sheets under the symbol “ARSC.PK.”
Plan of Operations
Our Hydra Fuel Cell subsidiary completed several development stages of the HydraStax® unit and testing for certification is currently underway. We believe that the HydraStax® unit's cost per kWh will be significantly below that of its competitors, giving it a competitive edge as a replacement for residential grid power. Thus, upon certification, Hydra intends to aggressively market these units. The Company is actively pursuing financing to begin manufacturing and distribution. Hydra installed two of its HydraStax® fuel cells in residences, one in Texas in October 2007 and one in Florida in December 2007, as “Beta Test demonstration units”. These were milestones for Hydra and for the fuel cell industry. Hydra is now ready to move the Fuel Cell Product into production and has been seeking funding to begin production. Recently, an existing funder, St George has committed to provide funding to allow production to begin.
In June 2010, ARSC accepted a proposal from a European Investors groupto fund and spin-off Hydra Fuel Cell to ARSC shareholders. ARSC is currently negoiating this transaction with the investors. This will require a proxy for ARSC shareholders when the transaction is complete. This is anticipated in late summer or fall 2010.
American Hydrogen Corporation (AHC) was formed to develop and commercialize technologies to formulate hydrogen that we believe will change the economics of producing hydrogen sufficiently to enable the hydrogen economy.
The Company continues to review acquisition opportunities that would enhance its fuel cell offerings, expand its offerings in alternative energy production or represent opportunities in homeland security or national defense.
Results of Operation
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
The Company had $0 revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Expenses for the six months totaled $899,973 resulting in an operating loss of $899,973. Expenses for the six months consisted of legal and professional fees of $136,469; $177,352 consulting services; $307,268 research and development; and $266,728 of other general and administrative expenses.
The Company had $0 revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Expenses for the six months totaled $1,117,032 resulting in an operating loss of $1,117,032. Expenses for the six months consisted of legal and professional fees of $66,407; $501,228 consulting services; $279,259 research and development; and $273,472 of other general and administrative expenses.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2010 we had $3,253 in cash.
We believe that we will need additional funding to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. Completion of our plan of operations is subject to attaining adequate revenue or financing. We cannot assure investors that we will generate the revenues needed or that additional financing will be available. In the absence of attaining adequate revenue or additional financing, we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations.
We have had no revenue since beginning our Hydra subsidiary; although, we expect revenues from our HydraStax™ unit in the near future, we do expect cash flows from distribution of the unit to become self-funding sometime after we complete deliveries of our product. We estimate that our Hydra Fuel Cell subsidiary will require approximately $1 million to produce and sell HydraStax® units to cash flow self-sufficiency. There is no guarantee that management will be successful in obtaining these funds.
We anticipate that our operational, and general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will be consistent with prior periods as we continue to develop, market, and deliver our products to our customers. We anticipate we will require to purchase and/or lease manufacturing facilities and equipment along with sufficient labor force for the completion and delivery of our products. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. The exact allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private financings may vary significantly depending upon the exact amount of funds raised and our progress with the execution of our business plan. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur op erating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Ac tual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statement
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all of these significant accounting policies impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on the Company and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our financial position or liquidity, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.
Off Balance Sheet Transactions
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been significant fluctuations in the market price for the Company's common stock. Factors such as variations in the Company's revenues, earnings, if any, and cash flow and announcements of innovations or acquisitions by the Company or its competitors could cause the market price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock market has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected companies in the alternative energy business resulting in changes in the market price of the stocks of many companies which may not have been directly related to the operating performance of those companies. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclos ure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Our management is Our Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer who are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Company's operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
Our Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. In making this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and Chief Financial Officer used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
LACK OF SEGREGATION OF DUTIES
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the substantial expenses associated with such
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business and Management evaluates each case based on its merits and expected outcome and risk. As of June 30, 2010, Management believes the Company can successfully defend or settle the existing lawsuits and does not believe the outcome will have a material effect on the financial statements. Consequently, no contingent accrual is required to be disclosed or accrued and all legal expenses are expensed as incurred.
