NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2005
| |
1. Nature of operations |
McKenzie Bay International, Ltd. and subsidiaries (Company) is a development stage company with no operations. The Company’s primary business activity is the development of wind powered alternative energy systems. In addition, the Company holds mining claims to a vanadium deposit in Northern Quebec. |
|
2. Accounting policies |
|
(a) Basis of presentation |
|
| The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordancewith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”)for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they 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) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. The balance sheet at September 30, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2006. |
| |
| The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. |
| |
| The Company has suffered recurring losses and has a deficiency in net assets that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and generate profits. However, management believes that it will be successful at raising additional capital in the short-term (see note 3) and will have profitable operations in the long-term. |
| |
| The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |

| |
2. Accounting policies (continued) |
|
(b) Consolidation |
|
| These financial statements include the activities of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Lac Doré Mining Inc., Great Western Diamond Company, DERMOND INC., WindStor Power Company and a 62.5% interest in Ptarmigan Energie Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
(c) New accounting pronouncements |
| Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment, replaces existing requirements under SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As a result, compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. This statement does not change the accounting for similar transactions involving parties other than employees. The Company will be required to adopt this statement on October 1, 2006. This statement applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancell ed after that date. Although the Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting the new statement on its consolidated financial statements, additional compensation costs will be recorded if the use of options for employee and director compensation continues. |

Accounting policies (continued)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
(d) Share Based Payment |
| |
| The Company has stock-based compensation plans which are described in note 4. The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for all stock options and common shares issued to non-employees for services in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, and the intrinsic value method for stock options granted to employees, officers and directors in conformity with APB Opinion No. 25 and its related interpretations, as allowed by SFAS No. 123. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the date of the grant and recognized over the vesting period, as is the case under the intrinsic value method when the exercise price is lower than the current market price at the date of the grant. |
| |
| Had the compensation cost for stock options issued to employees, officers and directors been determined based on the fair value method consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been as follows for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004: |
| |
| | | | | | | | | | Three months ended December 31, | |

| The fair value of options was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method with the following weighted average assumptions for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (there were no options issued during the three months ended December 31, 2005): |

3. Securities Purchase Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners
|
On October 11, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Cornell Capital wherein Cornell Capital agreed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s Secured Convertible Debentures. On the same date, Cornell Capital purchased a Secured Convertible Debenture from the Company in the face amount of $3,000,000. The principal sum together with accrued but unpaid interest at an annual rate of approximately 10.14% is payable on or before October 11, 2007. On November 14, 2005, Cornell Capital purchased a second Secured Convertible Debenture in the face amount of $2,000,000 with substantially identical terms. |
|
The Company, upon giving three days prior written notice, can redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Secured Convertible Debentures. The amount paid on redemption will be equal to the amount of principal and accrued interest being redeemed plus a premium calculated as the amount redeemed times the greater of 20% or the percentage difference between the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock and $1.10. |
|
The Secured Convertible Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of Cornell Capital. The number of shares issuable upon a conversion equals the quotient obtained by dividing the then outstanding amount of the Secured Convertible Debenture to be converted by the price per share equal to the lesser of (a) $1.10 or (b) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion, subject to adjustments set forth in the Secured Convertible Debenture. If, however, at the time of any conversion: (1) the number of the Company’s shares authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as treasury stock, is insufficient to fund the conversion; (2) its shares are not listed or quoted for trading on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board, Nasdaq SmallCap Market, New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market; (3) the Company has failed to timely satisfy the conversion; or (4) the conversion would be prohibited by the terms of the Secured Convertible Debenture, then, at the option of Cornell Capital, the Company, in lieu of delivering shares, must deliver, an amount in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be converted plus any interest due divided by the then conversion price and multiplied by the highest closing price of the shares from date of the conversion notice until the date that such cash payment is made. Other adjustments of the conversion price are similar to the adjustment to the exercise price of the warrant the Company issued to Cornell Capital as described below. |

|
3. Securities Purchase Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners (continued) |
|
If an event of default, as defined in the Secured Convertible Debentures, occurs, Cornell Capital may declare the entire unpaid balance of principal and interest due and payable. If an event of default, as defined in the Secured Convertible Debentures, occurs and remains uncured, then the conversion price will be reduced to $0.10 per share. |
|
The Secured Convertible Debentures are secured pursuant to the terms of a Pledge and Escrow Agreement wherein the Company pledged and delivered to an escrow agent 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to secure payment of the Secured Convertible Debentures. In the event of a default by the Company under the Secured Convertible Debentures or other agreements relating to them, the escrow agent is authorized to deliver the pledged shares to Cornell Capital. The undelivered shares will not be considered outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share of the Company. |
|
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued warrants to Cornell Capital to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrants. In no event, however, shall Cornell Capital be entitled to exercise a warrant for a number of shares in excess of that number of shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by Cornell Capital and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock following such exercise, except within sixty days of the expiration of the warrant. If at the time of exercise of either of the warrants, the underlying shares are not subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 or if an event of default under the Secured Convertible Debentures or certain other documents has occurred, Cornell Capital, in lieu of making payment of the exercise price in cash, may elect a cashless exercise in accordance with the formula set forth in the warrants. |
|
If, subject to the exceptions set forth in the warrants, during the time that the warrants are outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or are deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of common stock for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the then exercise price of the warrants, then the exercise price will be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share. Upon each such adjustment, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product by the exercise price resulting from such adjustment. Similar adjustments will be made upon any issuance or sale by the Company of options to purchase the Company’s shares or convertible securities. |

3. Securities Purchase Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners (continued) |
|
On October 11, 2005, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Cornell Capital wherein the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) the registration statement for the resale by Cornell Capital of at least 39,062,500 shares to be issued upon conversion of the Secured Convertible Debentures and 5,000,000 shares underlying the warrants. In the event that the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of its filing or if after it has been declared effective by the SEC, and sales cannot be made pursuant to the registration statement, then the Company will pay liquidated damages of 2% of the liquidated value of the Secured Convertible Debentures. The Company has agreed to indemnify Cornell Capital against certain losses, costs or damages which may arise in connection with the registration statement, including those that may arise under the Securities Act of 1933. |
|
The holders of the debentures and warrants have registration rights that require the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or the exercise of the Warrants. Under EITF No. 00-19,Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock, the ability to register stock is deemed to be outside of the Company's control. Accordingly, the initial estimated aggregate fair value of the derivatives (warrants and conversion feature) of $5,000,000 was recorded as a derivative liability in the consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding reduction in the face value of the debenture liability treated as debt discount that will be amortized over the life of the debenture s. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative liability are recorded in the statement of operations at the end of each reporting period. At December 31, 2005, there was an immaterial change in the estimated fair value of the derivative liability since the date of issuance of the debentures and warrants. |
|
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (Agreement), the Company paid Yorkville Advisors Management LLC, the general partner of Cornell Capital, a fee of $335,000. Additionally, the Company has paid a commission of $195,000 in connection with the issuance of the Secured Convertible Debentures to Spencer Clarke LLC. The Company has deferred and is amortizing these costs on a basis that approximates the interest method over the expected term of the related debt. Total amortization recorded as finance charges, related to this debt, for the three months ended December 31, 2005 is $59,453 and the unamortized deferred finance costs of the debt is $470,547. |
|
In addition, the Company will issue warrants to Spencer Clarke LLC for the purchase of the Company’s common stock, equal to 10% of the shares converted by Cornell Capital, at a price equal to the conversion price, plus $0.05 per share, for a period of 5 years. |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Development of WindStor
Optimization of the WindStor® system (“WindStor”) and WindStor Wind Turbine (“WWT”) began during the quarter. Selection of the engineering firm, Analytical Design Service Corporation (“ADSC”), was made to transition the post 100 kilowatt (“kW”) prototype, installed at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec Canada, engineering improvements into a fully commercial 200 kW configuration. Further improvements to vertical axis wind turbine technology may have intellectual property considerations and filing for additional patent(s) protection is being considered.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we broke ground at Pioneer Bluff, the Ishpeming, Michigan installation site for our first WindStor project. If all of the previously reported conditions are satisfied, we are planning for an April 2006 installation at Pioneer Bluff. During the quarter we also entered into two additional non-binding Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”), continued discussions with prospective customers and issued a variety of proposals for WindStor projects. Any contract entered into will depend upon, among other things, adequate funding to pay for the units and complete installation.
Testing of the 100 kW WWT prototype,continued during the quarter and was primarily directed at software and control program optimization.
During the quarter we spent approximately $394,000 on WindStor related Research and Development.
During the quarter we issued our Secured Convertible Debentures to Cornell Capital Partners, LP (“Cornell Capital”) in the aggregate principal amount of $5 Million for which we received gross proceeds of that amount. Approximately $2,250,000 of the funding was used for fees and to repay prior debt funding received from Cornell Capital as part of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement entered into with Cornell Capital in December 2004. Reference is made to Item 1.01 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. The remaining net proceeds were used to fund WindStor development, reduce our obligations and fund operations.
Our business model continues to focus on retained ownership of the WindStor installations and the sale of electricity generated by WWTs to WindStor customers. If our WindStor prototype performs as we anticipate and WindStor operates successfully in initial commercial installations, we will seek debt financing to fund a portion of future WindStor installations. We will, however, require significant amounts of capital to install WindStor and for general and administrative expenses.
Our anticipated near term allocation of funding is as follows, if we are able to obtain the funds:
| | |
USE | AMOUNT | TIME FRAME |
| | |
WindStor Optimization | $225,000 | 2 Months |
Five 200kW WWT Fabrications | $1,500,000 | 6 Months |
Installation and Commissioning | $500,000 | 6 Months |
If we are successful in obtaining funds to be utilized in connection with WindStor, in addition to the near term allocation described above, we intend to allocate them as follows (based on the maximum amount of funds received):
-16-
| |
Marketing of WWTs and WindStor | $3,000,000 |
Continued WWT development, repayment of promissory notes and other corporate purposes | $7,000,000 |
TOTAL | $10,000,000 |
We have reduced the number of Sales Representatives from 18 companies to 11 in the United States. Each will be paid upon the completion of a WindStor project utilizing one or more WWTs installed through their efforts. Two agents will receive $35,000 for each of the first 10 WWTs they sell. Thereafter and for other agents, payment will be $20,000 per WWT installed. Certain of the agents will also receive a 2% “carried equity interest” in each WindStor system they sell.
Each of the agents has represented to us that it has expertise in the sale and promotion of energy products.
Lac Doré Mining Co.
We continue to investigate the market possibilities for divesting the Lac Doré deposit. At this point we do not have any indications of interest for a purchase.
We only intend to continue the maintenance of our claims rather than any other activities at Lac Doré. Whether the refining technology developed during the preliminary feasibility study is part of a potential sale of Lac Doré will depend upon the value allocation. We may consider a license of the technology rather than sale if the prospects of increased value is determined.
Cash Requirements for 2006 Fiscal Year Administrative Costs
As noted above, we must obtain substantial additional capital to engage in our proposed businesses.
Our approximate cash requirements for administrative costs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006 (including direct support of subsidiary operations) follows:
| |
Use | Amount |
Employee salaries | $1,000,000 |
Professional costs (includes consultants, outside accountants, independent auditors and legal counsel) | $400,000 |
General and administrative (includes lease obligations, travel and other administrative costs) | $700,000 |
Neither we nor our subsidiaries will be able to continue commercial or administrative functions for more than a few months unless substantial additional funding becomes available.
As stated in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, because we have suffered recurring losses and a have a deficiency in net assets and working capital, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have included a statement to that effect in their report dated December 20, 2005 on our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2005.
-17-
Additional Employees and other Employment related activities
Currently, we have 11 fulltime employees. WindStor Power Co. will need to add a number of employees in anticipation of successful commercial roll out of WindStor and the WWT. Additions include project managers and administrative personnel. McKenzie Bay International, Ltd. intends to add administrative personnel, including a controller.
At the October 12, 2005 meeting of our Board of Directors, Gary L. Westerholm resigned as President and was elected as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Gregory N. Bakeman was promoted to President of the company and retained his duties as Chief Financial Officer. Contract extensions were executed with Messrs. Westerholm and Bakeman.
John W. Sawarin retired as an officer in the first quarter, but will remain as a director.
