NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2010
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Merger
On January 29, 2010, InovaChem, Inc., a Delaware corporation, completed the acquisition of NuGen Mobility, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NuGen” or “NuGen Mobility”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated January 29, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among InovaChem, Inc., NuGen and InovaChem Mergerco II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of InovaChem, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, NuGen merged (the “Merger”) with and into InovaChem Mergerco II, and NuGen, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of InovaChem, Inc. On February 26, 2010, the board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation changing the Company’s name from InovaChem, Inc. to NuGen Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “NuGen Holdings”). The Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation became effective on March 4, 2010.
Upon the closing of the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of NuGen’s common stock was converted into 24,422.48 shares of NuGen Holdings’ common stock. As a result, an aggregate of 27,133,384 shares of NuGen Holdings’ common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) were issued to the two shareholders of NuGen.
The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. NuGen is the acquirer for accounting purposes and NuGen Holdings is the acquiree. Accordingly, NuGen’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the Merger. The accumulated deficit of NuGen is carried forward after the acquisition. Operations prior to the Merger are those of NuGen. Earnings per share for the period prior to the Merger are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.
Description of Business
The Company is engaged, through its wholly-owned subsidiary NuGen, in the research, development and sale of permanent magnet electric motors and the electronic controls for such motors. Our facility is located in Ashburn, VA. Our revenue is derived primarily from contract research and development services and product sales to customers in the automotive and industrial markets. We are impacted by other factors such as the continued receipt of contracts from industrial and governmental parties, our ability to protect and maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, continued product and technological advances and our ability to commercialize our products and technology.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes of the NuGen Mobility, Inc. for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, included in the Company's Form 8-K as exhibit 99.1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2010.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NuGen Holdings, Inc, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NuGen Mobility, Inc., and Trinterprise, LLC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company had approximately $761,419 in excess of FDIC insurance limits as of March 31, 2010.
NUGEN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2010
Accounts Receivable
We extend unsecured credit to most of our customers following a review of the customers' financial condition and credit history. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a number of factors including the length of time accounts receivables are past due, the customer's ability to pay its obligation to us, the condition of the general economy, estimates of credit risk, historical trends and other information. Accounts receivable are deemed to be past due when they have not been paid by their contractual due date. We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible against our allowance for doubtful accounts. At March 31, 2010, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.
Machinery and Equipment
Machinery and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 5 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $933 and $933, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We periodically evaluate whether circumstances or events have affected the recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite useful lives. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or groups of assets from expected future cash flows estimated by management. If expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized to adjust the asset to fair value as determined by expected discounted future cash flows.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
We provide contract research and development services and develop / or sell proprietary and other products. Revenue from sales of products are generally recognized at the time title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer which is typically when products are shipped based on the terms of the customer purchase agreement.
Revenue relating to long-term fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, contract revenues and related costs are recognized based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs.
Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to cost and revenue, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. 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 statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. 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. The valuation of deferred tax assets may be reduced if future realization is not assured.
The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Research and Development
Costs of researching and developing new technology, or significantly altering existing technology, are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.
Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
Loss per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by all outstanding and potentially dilutive shares during the periods presented, unless the effect is antidilutive. As of March 31, 2010, there were 360,000 warrants and 2,400,000 options outstanding to purchase the Company’s common stock. These warrants have not been included in the weighted average number of shares as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
NUGEN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2010
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on January 1, 2011.
NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has working capital of $853,395, an accumulated deficit of $3,527,658 and negative cash flows from operations of $327,335 during the six months ended March 31, 2010. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate additional revenues from operations, raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional revenues and funding, and to implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Pursuant to the Promissory Note dated as of August 23, 2007 the Company accrues interest on the loan at the rate of 6% per annum. Quarterly payments are made based on a formula that multiplies the revenue of NuGen’s gross revenues by 2% for calendar year 2007, 3% for calendar year 2008, 4% for calendar year 2009, 5% for calendar year 2010 and 6% for calendar year 2011 and for all subsequent years until the loan is paid in full. In all years NuGen is required to pay a minimum of $7,500 per quarter and any payment made that exceeds the amount that would be due under the formula shall be treated as an advance against subsequent quarterly amounts due in excess of the $7,500 minimum payment.
As of March 31, 2010, no payments of principal have been made as NuGen’s quarterly revenues, multiplied by the appropriate percentage, have not exceeded the $7,500 minimum payment. The payments made have gone towards accrued interest only. Additionally, further revenue contingent payments may be owed, in the future (see Note E – Commitments and Contingencies – below).
Pursuant to the Promissory Notes dated as of July 13, 2007, the Company accrued interest on these loans at the rate of 10% per annum. As the Company has not made payments of principal that were due in the past, the loans were in technical default. Accordingly, they are classified under the Current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s September 30, 2009 Balance Sheet. These amounts were converted to equity in January 2010 (See Note F – Stockholders’ Equity).
Pursuant to the Promissory Note dated as of June 5, 2009, the Company accrued interest on this loan at the rate of 5.6% per annum. As the note was due on demand, it is classified under the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s September 30, 2009 Balance Sheet. These amounts were converted to equity in January 2010 (See Note F – Stockholders’ Equity).
In November 2007, the Company purchased computer equipment and issued a four year note payable, included in “Other” on the above table, in the amount of $9,326. The Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of 18.45% per annum and makes monthly fixed payments of interest and principal.
In January 2008, the Company converted $35,650 of accounts payable, for advisory services and expenses, from a consultant into a note payable. The Company accrued interest on this loan at the rate of 1% per annum. During the six months ending March 31, 2010, $25,000 was repaid by the Company and the remaining balance was forgiven by the consultant.
In December 2009 and January 2010, the Company received $50,000 and $20,000, respectively as bridge loans. The loans bear interest at 5% per annum and were converted in January 2010 in exchange for 466,667 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with its private placement.

NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related Parties
A significant shareholder of the Company is the brother of the Company’s Chairman, CEO and President. This shareholder loaned a total of $371,500 to the Company between August 2007 and September 2009 which is included in the Balance Sheet of the Company in Due to related parties, along with $93,976 of accrued interest at September 30, 2009. These amounts were converted to 3,103,173 shares of the Company’s common stock in January 2010 valued at a recent cash offering price (See Note F Stockholders’ Equity).
Concentration of Credit Risk
We have historically derived significant revenue from a few key customers. Revenue from one customer totaled $111,081 and $195,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively which was 53 percent and 79 percent of total revenue respectively. Accounts receivable from this same customer was 63 percent of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2010, respectively
NOTE E - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 13, 2007 NuGen Mobility is required to pay the seller of the acquired assets sold pursuant to such agreement (the “Seller”) the following amounts from NuGen Mobility’s Gross Revenues (i) $596,108 plus accrued interest at the rate of 6% per annum plus (ii) if prior to July 13, 2014, NuGen paid the amount described in (i) in full, then NuGen shall pay each year, on a quarterly basis, 2.5% multiplied by the amount of Gross Revenues accrued in each quarter until July 13, 2014. Gross Revenues generally means the aggregate amount of (i) all fees and other revenue that NuGen actually receives from any source, (ii) the then-current fair market value of (x) the assets purchased from the seller, or (y) the business (as a going concern) or portion thereof sold or otherwise transferred to an affiliate of NuGen and / or its Chairman, President and CEO, and (iii) the proceeds from the sale or other disposition by NuGen to any other third party of all or any portion of (x) the assets and/or (y) the business as a going concern.
As part of this transaction, NuGen acquired a license agreement with an Indian manufacturer in which its technology is embedded in that manufacturer’s three-wheel Auto-Rickshaw. In connection with this contract, NuGen also agreed to assume the commitment, entered into by the Seller, for a conditional grant of $700,000 from an Indian export bank, which will be paid back through a 2% royalty on the license agreement until $1,400,000 is paid back. Additionally, the Indian export bank also provided a loan of $500,000 to the Seller that was converted to a conditional grant similar to the grant outlined above and assumed by NuGen in 2007. While NuGen has the agreement with the Indian export bank converting the Seller’s loan to a grant, it has not yet been formally executed (the Indian export bank agreed to postpone execution of this agreement). As of March 31, 2010 no payments are owed to the Indian export bank as the Indian manufacturer is not actively marketing its product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated.
Lease Commitments
Rental expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $39,650 and $32,744 respectively.
During the quarter ending March 31, 2010, we entered into employment agreements with our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), our Chief Financial Officer (CFO)and our VP of Engineering and Programs (VP Engineering). The agreements, for the CEO, VP Engineering and CFO, provide for annual salaries, of $180,000, $160,000 and $120,000 respectively; signing bonuses of $30,000, $20,000 and $10,000 respectively; and, grants of options to purchase 900,000, 400,000 and 150,000 shares of our common stock, respectively. The shares subject to the options for the CEO and CFO have an exercise price of $0.45 per share and vest pro ratably in 24 equal monthly installments as of the last day of each month commencing January 1, 2010. The shares subject to the options for the VP Engineering are at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, which option may be exercised on a cashless basis and may be exercised until February 29, 2012. Generally, options to acquire 100,000 shares may be exercised on a cumulative basis during the two weeks preceding August 31, 2010, February 28, 2011, August 31, 2011, and February 29, 2012 subject to accelerated exercise upon a change in control as provided therein and the right to exercise his remaining option in the event of the termination of his employment.
NOTE F – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Immediately prior to the Merger described in Note A, the Company redeemed shares of stock from certain of its pre-merger stockholders such that a total of 6,278,346 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding prior to the Merger.
In connection with the Merger an aggregate of 27,133,384 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) were issued to the shareholders of NuGen.
In connection with the Company’s private offering of its common stock, on January 29, 2010 and February 16, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,266,669 and 3,599,999, respectively, shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $0.15 per share for total cash proceeds of $1,480,000 and paid offering costs of $85,757. In addition the Company has issued 1,000,000 common shares to its placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company also issued warrants valued at $53,640, as a finders fee, exercisable until March 16, 2011, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, to acquire an aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock.

Conversion of debt to equity
In connection with the Merger, holders of an aggregate of $915,475 of outstanding indebtedness of NuGen converted their promissory notes (based on a recent cash offering price of $0.15 per share) into an aggregate of 6,103,166 shares of Common Stock (“Debt Conversion”).
Contributed Capital
During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s CEO worked for the Company without compensation. Included in Compensation expense is $37,500 of contributed capital by the CEO. Management believes its estimate of the value of this contributed service is reasonable.
Valuation of Stock-Based Awards, Common Stock and Warrants
Stock-Based Compensation
We adopted the fair value method of accounting for our stock options granted to employees which requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value of the awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period which is generally two years.
We amortize the fair value of our stock-based compensation for equity awards granted on a straight-line basis, which we believe better reflects the level of service to be provided by our employees over the vesting period of the awards.
The fair value of each new employee option awarded was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions.
| | | |
| | | | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 2.2 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | | 2 | |
Expected volatility | | | 82 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % |
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires inputs such as the risk-free interest rate, expected term and expected volatility. Further, the forfeiture rate also affects the amount of aggregate compensation. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant judgment.
The risk-free interest rate that we use is based on the United States Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for zero coupon United States Treasury notes with maturities approximating each grant’s expected life. Given our limited history with employee grants, we use the “simplified” method in estimating the expected term for our employee grants. The “simplified” method, as permitted by the SEC, is calculated as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.
Our expected volatility is derived from the historical volatilities of several unrelated public companies within industries related to our business, including the automotive OEM and battery technology industries, because we have no trading history on our common stock. When making the selections of our peer companies within industries related to our business to be used in the volatility calculation, we also considered the stage of development, size and financial leverage of potential comparable companies. Our historical volatility is weighted based on certain qualitative factors and combined to produce a single volatility factor. We have not estimated our forfeiture rate as these are the first options granted by us after our merger in January 2010.
We account for stock options issued to nonemployees also based on their estimated fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. However, the fair value of the equity awards granted to nonemployees is re-measured as the awards vest, and the resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense during the period the related services are rendered.
Common Stock Valuation
We granted stock options with exercise prices equal or greater than the fair value of our common stock as determined at the date of grant by our Board of Directors. Because there has been no public market for our common stock, our Board of Directors has determined the fair value of our common stock by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including the following:

General
The Company is engaged, through its wholly-owned subsidiary NuGen, in the research, development and sale of permanent magnet electric motors and the electronic controls for such motors. Our facility is located in Ashburn, VA. Our revenue is derived primarily from contract research and development services and product sales to customers in the automotive and industrial markets.
Our merger with NuGen Holdings, Inc. has been accounted for as a recapitalization rather than as a business combination. As a result, the historical financial statements of NuGen Mobility, Inc. are the historical financial statements. Accordingly, our financial statements subsequent to the merger consist of the balance sheets of NuGen Holdings, Inc. and NuGen Mobility, Inc., the historical operations of NuGen Mobility, Inc. and the operations of both NuGen Holdings, Inc. and NuGen Mobility, Inc. from January 29, 2010 (date of merger) forward. As a result of the merger, the historical financial statements of NuGen Holdings, Inc. for the period prior to January 29, 2010, are not presented herein.
We are maintaining our fiscal year end of September 30, which was the historical fiscal year end of NuGen Holdings, Inc. and NuGen Mobility, Inc.
Results of Operations
We generated revenues of $61,127 and $115,525, for the three months ending March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, and $211,268 and $245,525 in revenues for the six months ending March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We had net losses of $492,440 and $161,456, for the three months ending March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and net losses of $637,455 and $272,685 for the six months ending March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Results of Operations— Comparison of Three Months Ending March 31, 2010 and 2009
Revenues. Our sales decreased by $54,398 to $61,127 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from $115,525 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010 we had $59,992 in sales to BSA and $1,135 in sales to a Solar Car Race participant, versus sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 of $65,000 to Mahindra and $50,525 to Solar Car Race participants. The sales to Mahindra and BSA were primarily for engineering services.
Gross Profit (Loss). Our gross (loss) increased by $48,460 to $(82,850) for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from $(34,390) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to increases in direct labor expenses in 2010 versus 2009 as staffing levels were increased.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses increased by $306,447 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from $88,771 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation, rent and office, professional fees and travel expenses. The increase consisted primarily of an increase in our compensation expense of $209,956 due primarily to compensation of executive officers (4) in 2010 versus only one executive in 2009. Professional fees and travel expenses were increased due to the increased cost of being a publicly reporting Company as well as additional travel expenses associated with the increased number of executive officers in 2010.
Other Expenses. These expenses consist of interest expenses. Interest expenses for fiscal period ended 2010 decreased by $23,164 from $38,295 in 2009 primarily due to the conversion of a large portion of our debt to equity in January 2010. Additionally, the bridge loans made by our Chairman and CEO, Eric Takamura, were forgiven at the end of our fiscal 2009 year resulting in reduced interest expense in 2010.
Results of Operations— Comparison of Six Months Ending March 31, 2010 and 2009
Revenues. Our sales decreased by $34,257 to $211,268 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 from $245,525 for the six months ended March 31, 2009. For the six months ended March 31, 2010 the Company had $111,081 in sales to Mahindra and $99,052 in sales to BSA, and $1,135 in other sales, versus sales for the six months ended March 31, 2009 of $195,000 to Mahindra and $50,525 in sales to various Solar Car Race participants. The sales to BSA were primarily for engineering services.
Gross Profit (Loss). Our gross (loss) increased by $55,699 to $(100,957) for the six months ended March 31, 2010 from $(45,258) for the six months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to increases in direct labor expenses in 2010 versus 2009 as staffing levels were increased.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses increased by $345,334 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 from $150,095 for the six months ended March 31, 2009. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation, rent and office, professional fees and travel expenses. The increase consisted primarily of an increase in our compensation expense of $240,5541 due primarily to compensation of executive officers (4) in 2010 versus only one executive in 2009. Professional fees and travel expenses were increased due to the increased cost of being a publicly reporting Company as well as additional travel expense associated with the increased number of executive officers in 2010.
Other Expenses. These expenses consist of interest expenses. Interest expenses for fiscal 2010 decreased by $35,474 from $77,332 in 2009 primarily due to the conversion of a large portion of our debt to equity in January 2010. Additionally, the bridge loans made by our Chairman and CEO, Eric Takamura, were forgiven at the end of our fiscal 2009 year resulting in reduced interest expense in 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of funds has been equity provided by our stockholders, various borrowings (including borrowings from a principal stockholder) and sales to our customers. Our principal use of funds has been for operating expenses and direct labor costs. Although we currently believe that we have sufficient cash for the next 12 months, we are unable at present to estimate the funds we will require to execute our business plan to develop manufacture and market our products and technology and management expects that we will need to raise additional funds, which we may do through additional financings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds if and when we wish to do so or on terms acceptable to us. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our working capital was $853,395, at March 31, 2010 compared to a working capital deficiency of $801,592 at September 30, 2009. Net cash used in operating activities was $327,335 and $20,160 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash flow used in operations increased primarily due to the increase in our net loss. Net cash provided by investing activities was $4,060 and $0 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, due to cash acquired in the Merger. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,438,077 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 versus cash flows used in financing activities of $809 in the six months ended March 31, 2009. The cash provided from financing activities in the six months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to the net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s equity securities as well as two bridge loans, which were converted in the private placement to common stock. These bridge loans have been included on the Company’s Statement of Stockholders’ Equity as Issuance of common stock in exchange for debt. At March 31, 2010, we had $1,173,731 of cash on hand.
In connection with the Company’s private offering of its common stock, on January 29, 2010 and February 16, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,266,669 and 3,599,999, respectively, shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $0.15 per share for total cash proceeds of $1,480,000 and paid offering costs of $85,757. In addition the Company has issued 1,000,000 shares to its placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company also issued warrants valued at $53,640, as a finders fee, exercisable until March 16, 2011, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, to acquire an aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock. Also, in connection with the Merger, holders of an aggregate of $915,475 of outstanding indebtedness of NuGen converted their promissory notes (based on a $0.15 per share conversion price) into an aggregate of 6,103,166 shares of Common Stock (“Debt Conversion”).
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the accounting policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. Additionally, we intend to develop and adopt policies, once we commence operations, which are appropriate to our operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application. In particular, given our early stage of business, our primary critical accounting policy and area in which we use judgment is in the area of the recoverability of deferred tax assets.
Revenue and Cost Recognition - We manufacture proprietary products and other products. Revenue from sales of products are generally recognized at the time title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer which is typically when products are shipped based on the terms of the customer purchase agreement.
Revenue relating to long-term fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, contract revenues and related costs are recognized based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs.
Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to cost and revenue, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs and other indirect costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued.
In accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.
At inception, the Company implemented ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment” which requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on January 1, 2011.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement with New Generation Motors Corporation (“NGM”), we are required to pay NGM from Gross Revenues, (i) $596,108 plus accrued interest at the rate of 6% per annum plus (B) if prior to July 13, 2014, we paid the amount described in (i) in full, then we are required to pay each year, on a quarterly basis, 2.5% multiplied by the amount of Gross Revenues accrued in each quarter until July 13, 2014. Gross Revenues is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement as (i) all fees and other revenue that we receive from any source, (ii) the then-current fair market value of (x) the assets purchased from NGM, or (y) the business (as a going concern) or portion thereof sold or otherwise transferred to our affiliate, and (iii) the proceeds from the sale or other disposition by us to any other third party of all or any portion of (x) the assets and/or (y) the business as a going concern.
As part of our purchase of NGM’s assets in July 2007, we acquired a license agreement with Bajaj and agreed to assume NGM’s commitment of a conditional grant of $700,000 from The ICICI Limited, an Indian public banking company (“ICICI”), which will be paid back through a 2% royalty on the license agreement until $1,400,000 is repaid. Additionally, ICICI also provided a loan of $500,000 to NGM that was converted to a conditional grant and assumed by us in 2007. As of March 31, 2010, no payments are owed to ICICI, as Bajaj is not actively marketing its product at present, however, with the recent emphasis on electric vehicles, we currently expect that marketing of this product will begin in the next two years.

There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in the internal controls over financial reporting during the six months ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
