Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008
NOTE 1 - | CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at June 30, 2009, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2008 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. Historically, the Company has incurred significant annual losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $22,974,468 at June 30, 2009, the Company has negative working capital of $674,935, and negative cash flow from operations of $727,721 which together raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company increasing sales to the point it becomes profitable. The Company may need to raise additional capital for marketing to increase its sales. If the Company is unable to increase sales sufficiently or obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. The accompanying 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 result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management plans to increase sales by increasing its marketing program and to obtain additional capital from the private placement of shares of its common stock. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.011 per share for services valued at an aggregate of $55,000. Of this amount $30,693 has been recorded as prepaid equity as the services are to be rendered through January 19, 2010. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, $24,307 was expensed in the Company’s statements of operations. The Company also issued 137,500 shares of its common stock at $0.011 per share in lieu of directors fees accrued in prior periods for an aggregate of $15,125.

NOTE 4 - | BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE |
The computation of basic and diluted loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period.

BASIC WEIGHTED AVERAGE | | | | | | | | |
NUMBER OF SHARES OUTSTANDING | | | 111,082,428 | | | | 83,317,261 | |
The computation of loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Common stock equivalents, consisting of 19,472,225 and 10,934,665 in options, 12,899,388 and 19,160,037 in warrants and 12,936,660 and -0- in convertible debt, were considered but were not included in the computation of loss per share at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because they would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 5- | COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS AND OPTIONS |
Warrants
The Company has determined the estimated value of the compensatory warrants granted to non-employees in exchange for services and financing expenses using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: expected term of 1year, a risk free interest rate of 1.47% in 2009 and 3.25% in 2008, a dividend yield of 0% in both years and volatility of 99% in 2009 and 75% to 78% for the valuation of warrants in 2008. The amount of the expense charged to operations for compensatory warrants granted in exchange for services was $18,316 and $354,583 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The following table summarizes the changes in warrants outstanding and the related prices for the shares of the Company’s common stock issued to non-employees of the Company. These warrants were granted in lieu of cash compensation for services performed or financing expenses. Warrants vest immediately and services are provided during the period granted.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking information. Forward-looking information includes statements relating to future actions, future performance, costs and expenses, interest rates, the outcome of contingencies, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, business strategies, cost savings, objectives of management, and other such matters regarding the Company. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking information to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves without fear of litigation, so long as that information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the information. Forward-looking information may be included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or may be incorporated by reference from other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company. You can find many of these statements by looking for words including, for example, “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in documents incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events.
The Company has based the forward-looking statements relating to the Company’s operations on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company and the industry in which it operates. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In particular, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors, including, but not limited to the following:
| · | the Company’s ability to manufacture, market, and price the Battery Brain product; |
| · | the Company’s ability to hire and maintain the personnel necessary to run the operations of the Company; |
| · | the level of consumer spending for the Company’s product; |
| · | the success of the Company’s marketing and promotion programs in obtaining market acceptance for its product; |
| · | market conditions affecting the prices of the Company’s product; and |
| · | responsiveness of both the trade and consumers to the Company’s new product and marketing and promotion programs. |
General
We were incorporated in the State of Utah on February 10, 1999. On August 25, 2005, we changed our state of incorporation from Utah to Nevada, by the merger of our Company with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary, Smart Energy Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation. As a result of such merger, our Company’s name was changed to Smart Energy Solutions, Inc. in order to better reflect our business operations.
On March 23, 2005, we purchased inventory, manufacturing molds and technology from Purisys, Inc., whereby we became a producer of an electronic control for vehicle batteries, known as the “Battery Brain”, which is intended to keep batteries from discharging to the point that the vehicle cannot be started. It is also intended to prevent the vehicle from being started without using the ignition system by what is commonly known as hot wiring. We have been selling the Battery Brain since then, on a wholesale basis through distributors and on a retail basis over the internet.
The Battery Brain is manufactured on behalf of the Company by third party manufacturers. The Company has expanded its manufacturing capabilities by adding additional third party manufacturing facilities in China and Israel. The Company is also reviewing opportunities to expand its facilities in Italy and establish manufacturing facilities in North America. Such third party arrangements give the Company access to state of the art manufacturing facilities while maintaining strict protection of our proprietary property. They also enable the Company to meet the strictest regulation, and provide flexibility to meet the growing demands in each market segment.
The Company has contracted with various distributors for distribution of the Battery Brain products in the United States, Canada, Italy, and Israel. The Company’s marketing activities have been focused on the following nine market segments, each of which have unique requirements: Automotive Retail; Automotive Dealers; Automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers; Automotive Specialty; Fleets; Military; Heavy Truck/Bus; Motor Home/Recreational Vehicle; and Marine.
Results of Operation
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s sales of the Battery Brain product decreased, resulting in revenues of $395,177 and $486,437, approximately 20% and 45% below revenues of $492,828 and $890,173 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The cost of sales for the Battery Brain was $256,865 and $316,184 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $204,916 and $463,190 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The Company continues with an aggressive marketing program which includes advertising in trade publications, the internet, marketing in trade shows and direct sales to wholesalers.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 the Company recorded gross profits of $138,312 and $170,253, a decrease of approximately 52% and 60% from gross profits of $287,912 and $426,983 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The decreased gross profits were the result of fewer sales of our products to our automotive customers.
Total operating expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 dropped to $269,037 and 1,076,879, approximately 84% and 58% below total operating expenses of $1,709,266 and $2,543,352 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. General and administrative expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were $166,696 and $405,862, as compared to $471,227 and $845,183 the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Marketing and advertising expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were $4,347 and $9,034, as compared to $40,358 and $100,232 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Consulting fees in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were $59,623 and 596,003, as compared to $1,197,681 and $1,597,937 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. These decreases in operating expenses resulted primarily from a reduction in shares issued for services.
Interest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $23,116 and $28,705, as compared to $373,441 and $432,038 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in interest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 resulted primarily from termination of the notes to EGFE in 2008.
The Company recorded a net loss of $153,818 and $935,174, or $0.01 and $0.01 per share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $2,561,580 and $3,313,183, or $0.03 and $0.04 per share, in the same periods in 2008.
Liquidity and Capital
On June 30, 2009 the Company had $23,094 in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of almost 83% as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $132,687 on December 31, 2008. The decrease resulted primarily from operating costs offset by the receipt of $150,000 and satisfaction of accrued salaries through stock of $468,128, in gross proceeds from the notes payable in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $650,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of securities and net receipts of $447,706 from notes payable in the first two quarters of 2008.
Total current assets on June 30, 2009 were $406,903, a decrease of approximately 43% as compared to total current assets on December 31, 2008 of $717,023. This decrease results primarily from the decrease in cash and cash equivalents described above, a decrease in net accounts receivable, from $68,798 on December 31, 2008 to $ 16,862 on June 30, 2009, and a decrease in inventory, from $494,269 on December 31, 2008 to $366,462 on June 30, 2009.
The Company believes that it will need approximately $3,000,000 for its operations over the next twelve months. The Company intends to raise additional capital from the exercise of the warrants issued during its private placement and from the issuance of additional securities of the Company.
There is no assurance that the warrant holders will exercise the warrants or that the funds needed will be raised. Our plans to deal with this uncertainty include raising additional capital or entering into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that our plans can be realized. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing if and when needed or that, if available, financing will be on acceptable terms. Additional equity financings may be dilutive to holders of our common stock and debt financing, if available, and may involve significant payment obligations and covenants that restrict how we operate our business.
Going Concern Consideration
The financial statements contained herein for the period ending June 30, 2009, have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the reasons discussed herein and in the footnotes to our financial statements included herein, there is a significant risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern.
