NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Ecolocap Solutions Inc ("we", "our" and the "Company") is an integrated and complementary network of environmentally focused technology companies that utilize advanced nanotechnology to design, develop and sell cleaner alternative energy products. Our business approach combines science, innovation, and market-ready solutions to achieve environmentally sustainable and economically advantageous, power and energy management practices in the following areas:
M-Fuel
The Company, through its subsidiary Micro Bubble Technologies Inc. (MBT), developed M-Fuel, an innovative suspension fuel that is designed to offer fully scalable and customizable fuel solutions that will increase efficiency, lower operating costs, and reduce emissions. M -Fuel is a suspension mixture of 60% heavy oil, 40% H plus O2 molecules, and a 0.3% stabilizing additive. The production of M-Fuel takes place in our Nano Processing Units (NPU), a self contained device that is sized for output. The NPU's can be configured to operate in conjunction with an engine or burner to sully M-Fuel on demand, or pre-manufactured for delivery.
ECOS/BIO-ART
ECOS/Bio-ART is a patented air injected high-speed aerobic biological fermentation technology, utilizing uniquely cultured Bacillus, and incorporated into a specifically designed in-vessel unit. The remediation process takes seven days and reduces moisture content to an average between 12%-25% on an output equal to 1/3 the input. The output can be used as organic fertilizer, animal feed, animal bedding or biomass. The computer controlled process monitors the temperature on 3 different levels. The technology is designed to reduce the costs associated with food waste disposal and in the process, will reduce the environmental impact or methane greenhouse gas production.
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company for interim reporting are consistent with those included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the interim period ended September 30, 2017.
The Company's inventory consists of equipment purchased for resale and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is principally determined using the first in, first out method.
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying financial statements in order to maintain consistency and comparability between the periods presented, primarily related to preferred shares stock on the balance sheet.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements as reported in the annual report on Form 10-K have been omitted.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has had recurring losses, negative working capital, is dependent on its shareholders to provide additional funding for operating expenses and has no recurring revenues. These items raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plan for the Company's continued existence include selling additional common stock of the Company and borrowing additional funds to pay overhead expenses.
With the opportunities created by the ECOS BIO-ART and M Fuel, management has begun the process of redeploying its assets, identifying business strategies that offers above average profit potential and identifying the resources necessary to successfully execute it new strategic direction.
Recognizing the opportunity this new market represents; the Company has developed an integrated development approach that focuses upon both existing and needed infrastructure facilities to produce substantial new value.
The Company's future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of common stock or borrow additional funds.
The Company's inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and its ability to continue in existence. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

During the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company was in default on its convertible notes due to non-repayment of the outstanding balances.
The convertible feature of these loans, due to their potential settlement in an indeterminable number of shares of the Company's common stock has been identified as a derivative. The derivative component is fair valued at the date of issuance of the obligation and the amount is marked to market at each reporting period. All the convertible notes are in default as of September 30, 2017.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
During the nine months period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded various derivative liabilities associated with the convertible debts discussed in Note 4 and warrants. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option on the notes should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions. This also tainted the Company's existing warrants thus requiring derivative accounting treatment for these instruments.
The Company computes the value of the derivative liability at each reporting period using the Black Scholes Method using a risk free rate ranging of 0.14%, volatility rates ranging between 361.00% and 477.00% and a forfeiture rate of 0.00%. The derivative liability at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:
2017 | 2016 | |||||||
Tonaquint | $ | 856,641 | $ | 4,799,461 | ||||

Redwood Management, LLC | 727,848 | 3,682,835 | ||||||
Total | $ | 1,738,642 | $ | 9,394,852 |
For the warrants discussed above, the Company computes the value of the derivative liability at the issuance of the related obligation and at each reporting period using the Black Scholes Method which includes the following assumptions: a risk free rate of 0.14%, volatility rates of 481.00% and a forfeiture rate of 0.00%. The derivative liability at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is as follows:

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Level 1— Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2— Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3— Inputs reflecting management's best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Business Plan
Our business approach combines science, innovation and market-ready solutions to achieve environmentally and economically beneficial energy and energy management practices.
The Company's first objective is to provide its full turn-key solution at lower cost. The Company technology reduces the costs associated with food waste disposal and in the process, reduces the environmental impact or methane greenhouse gas production, provide a healthier life for all and create viable organic byproducts.
The first target market is the Municipal solid waste industry (MSW), grow the number of customer and expand ECOS BIO ART brand presence.
Discussions are also underway with a number of prospective customers and the Company is confident it will enter into a number of sales agreements as soon as it can demonstrate its product with all the proprietary features. The Company is confident it will provide such demos in the next months.
For the Three and Nine Months Periods ended September 30, 2017
Overview
We incurred net loss of $804,917 and net income $6,433,065 for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2017 as compared to net loss of $216,851 and net loss $1,280,437 for the comparable periods of 2016. There has been an increase of $274,492 in selling, general and administrative expenses, an increase in the gain on derivatives of $8,144,749 and an increase in interest expense of $156,755 mainly attributable to the interest expense resulting from derivative liabilities.
Sales
For the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 we had no sales.
Total Cost and Expenses
For the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2017, we incurred Total Costs and Expenses of $284,165 and $901,938, an increase of 33% from the three months period from the same period of 2016 and an increase of 44% for the nine months period from the same period of 2016.
Selling, General and Administrative
For the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2017, we incurred selling, general and administration expenses of $284,165 and $901,938, an increase of 33% from the three months period from the same period of 2016 and an increase of 44% for the nine months period from the same period of 2016. The increase resulted from the consulting and professional fees.
Interest
We calculate interest in accordance with the respective note payable. For the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2017, we incurred a charge of $146,099 and $389,507 including related party interest. This compared to $74,538 and $232,752 for the same periods of the previous year. The interests increase is attributable to interest rate increase due to default on convertible debts.
The interest expenses on related parties increased by $39,912 due to increases in debt balance and the interest expenses on convertible loans increased by $116,843 because of interest rate and loans balance increases due to default on GSM loans so globally the interest expense increased by $156,755.
At September 30, 2017, we had $9,008 in cash, as opposed to $698 in cash at December 31, 2016. Total cash generated by operations for the nine months period ended September 30, 2017 was $68,660. As a result of certain measures implemented to reduce corporate overhead, management estimates that cash requirements through the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 will be between $1.0 million to $3.5 million. As of the date of this Report, we do not have available resources sufficient to cover the expected cash requirements through the end of 2017 or the balance of the year. As a result, there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business without obtaining additional financing. Management's plans for maintaining our operations and continued existence include selling additional equity securities and borrowing additional funds to pay operational expenses. There is no assurance we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of Common Stock or borrow additional funds. Our inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and our ability to continue its existence. If our losses continue and we are unable to secure additional financing, we may ultimately be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
We had total assets of $608,092 as of September 30, 2017. This was a change of $607,394 as compared to total assets of $698 as of December 31, 2016.
We had total current liabilities of $8,668,584 as of September 30, 2017. This was a decrease of $7,349,714, or 46%, as compared to current liabilities of $16,018,298 as of December 31, 2016. The net decrease was attributable to a decrease in derivative liabilities due to the gain on derivatives at market value and decrease in notes payable.
Our financial condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan for our continued existence includes selling additional stock through private placements and borrowing additional funds to pay overhead expenses while maintaining marketing efforts to raise our sales volume. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of common stock or borrow additional funds. Our inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and our ability to continue as a going concern.
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, which apply only as of the date of this Report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
We have only had operating losses which raise substantial doubts about our viability to continue our business and our auditors have issued an opinion expressing the uncertainty of our company to continue as a going concern. If we are not able to continue operations, investors could lose their entire investment in our company.
Contractual Obligations
The Company was party to a lease for the Company's Barrington office, at a minimum annual rent of approximately $16,800 per year. The Barrington lease expired in May 2013 and the Company remained in these premises on a month to month basis until the Company moved to its new offices.
In July 2017, the Company signed a lease for the Company's Morton Grove office, at a minimum annual rent of approximately $70,000 per year. The Morton Grove lease expires in August 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
The Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: the lack of a functioning audit committee and segregation of duties, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of director results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have not made a change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
As of the date of this report, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings.
