Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(Unaudited) |
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Hybrid Coating Technologies Inc. (the “Company”, “HCT”) formerly EPOD Solar Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 8, 2010 and is in the development stage as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, “Development Stage Entities”.
The Company manufactures and sells under license, alternative non-toxic (isocyanate-free) polyurethane, Green Polyurethane™, including coatings and raw binder ingredients (Green Polyurethane® Monolithic Floor Coating and Green Polyurethane™ Binder).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes of EPOD Solar Inc., included in Form 10-K filed on May 16, 2012 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.
NOTE 2 – INTANGIBLE ASSET
During 2010 and 2011 the Company acquired licensing rights from Nanotech Industries, Inc., (“NTI”, a privately-held entity deemed a related party by virtue of common ownership and control), for the rights to manufacture and distribute environmentally safe coatings (“Coating Products”) using NTI’s technology. As part of the original licensing agreement signed on July 12, 2010 (see table below) the Company has the option to obtain rights for the rest of the world on an exclusive perpetual basis, in exchange for the issuance of stock to equal 62.5% of the Company’s total shares. If this option is exercised, NTI would obtain voting control of the Company.
Following is a summary of the licenses acquired to date from NTI:
| License Rights Overview | Licensed Region | Term (date) of License | Original cost | Carrying Value at 03/31/12 | Carrying Value at 12/31/11 |
A
| Coating Products

On October 18, 2011, the Company and NTI entered into a second Licensing Agreement (“Second Agreement”) granting the Company option (“Sealant Option”) to be exercised within six months of the signing of the Licensing Agreement, for the manufacturing and sale of environmentally safe adhesives and sealants (“Sealant Products”), for the following:
| 1. | The Company shall issue to NTI a one-time licensing fee (“Sealant Shares”), an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s restricted common stock which shall give NTI, immediately upon such issuance of shares, an incremental 15% (fifteen percent) ownership stake in the Company. |
| | |
| 2. | NTII shall pay to NTI a royalty of 7.5% (seven and one half percent) of gross revenue from the sale of the Sealant Products (“Royalty”) for the duration of this Agreement. |
On December 6, 2011 the Company exercised the option. To date the Company has not issued the Licensing Shares and therefore the Licensing Agreement is not yet effective.
Intangibles activity is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011:

NOTE 4 – LOANS PAYABLE –SHAREHOLDERS
During 2011, the Company entered into various loan agreements and arrangements for loans with shareholders totaling $894,000 with various maturity dates throughout 2011 and 2012. Two of the loans totaling $85,000 were due in 2011 and are in default. The shareholders have not called these loans.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company received $186,760 in shareholder loans
Two shareholders advanced the Company $96,760 that is non-interest bearing and unsecured, with no specific terms of repayment. $63,750 of these advances was repaid during the period. A third shareholder loaned the Company $50,000, with interest at 16%, unsecured, with no specific terms of repayment.
The Company entered into two loan agreements with shareholders for $40,000 maturing on September 22, 2013. One loan had a premium of 10,000 shares that were issued to a shareholder at a price of $1.30. The other loan had a premium of 10,000 warrants that were calculated at the closing price at March 31, 2012 as the shares were not yet issued. The premiums are being amortized over the term of the loan.
The premiums amortized for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $13,929 and $15,400, respectively. The interest paid for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $22,158 and $0, respectively. At March 31, 2012 the unamortized premium was $44,703.
NOTE 5 – LOANS PAYABLE
On January 13, 2012 and February 28, 2013 the Company entered into two loans from unrelated parties for proceeds totaling $144,500 each with 1 year maturities. The loans bear interest at 15% per annum payable monthly with a monthly penalty of $945 on the January 13 loan and $350 on the Feb 28 loan. During the quarter the company paid the $2,362 interest due on the January 13 loan but defaulted on the Feb 28 loan. The company accrued $975 in interest and penalty.
NOTE 6 –CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On April 29, 2011 the Company issued $1,201,000 in convertible debentures (“Debentures”) with a maturity of 36 months and a coupon rate of 10% per annum payable in cash or capital stock at the Company’s discretion. The debentures are held by both third parties and by non-controlling shareholders, and are convertible by dividing the conversion amount by a conversion factor of 1.4 yielding Units of the Company where each Unit (at a price of $1.40 per Unit), comprises of 1 share of common stock and one half a stock purchase warrant of the Company with an exercise price of $2.00 and a maturity at April 29, 2014. Warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity. The embedded conversion features in the Convertible Debentures and attached warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability based on guidance in FASB ASC 815, derivatives and Hedging.
On February 21, 2012, an additional $119,500 of debentures were issued with the same terms that the April, 2011 issuance contained. The value, determined using the same discounted cash flow based, multinomial lattice model as was used with the April 2011 derivative valuation, of the incremental derivative liability associated with this 2012 issuance was determined by management to be $46,721.
As of March 31, 2012, The Company recorded the change in the fair value of the derivative liability as a gain of $8, 744 to reflect the value of the new derivative liability of $518,438.
The derivative was originally recorded as a credit to the derivative liability and a debit to the debt (as a discount). The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the three year term of the debt. Amortization of the debt discount was $40,721 for the quarter ending March 31, 2012, leaving a remaining discount of $467,225 at March 31, 2012. Interest of $31,220 has been accrued for the quarter ending March 31, 2012. The balance of the debentures at March 31, 2012, net of the unamortized discount, is $853,275.

Some sections of this report contain forward-looking statements that, because of their nature, necessarily involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations, and the factors described under “Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s Form 10-K Report filed May 16, 2012. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. The Company’s actual and future results could therefore differ materially from those indicated or underlying these forward-looking statements.
Although the Company deems the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, the Company cannot provide any guarantee as to the materialization of the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements.

Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information presented below, including tabular amounts, is expressed in US dollars and prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical items of the financial statements that require the use of estimates include the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the determination of the allowance for inventory obsolescence, the determination of the useful life of fixed and intangible assets for amortization calculation purposes, the assumptions for fixed asset impairment tests, the determination of the allowance for guarantees, the determination of the allowance for income taxes, the assumptions used for the purposes of calculating the stock-based compensation expense, the determination of the fair value of financial instruments, the determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired on business acquisitions and the implicit fair value of goodwill.
The financial statements include estimates based on currently available information and management’s judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances.
Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions.
Changes in Accounting Principles
No accounting changes were adopted during the period ended March 31, 2012.

Overview
Company Background
HCTs principal office is located in Daly City, California, U.S.A.
As of March 31, 2012, HCT had 7 employees.
HCT offers an alternative to toxic formulations of polyurethane (PU) worldwide through its exclusive distribution rights which provide for a cost-effective alternative non-toxic (isocyanate-free) polyurethane, Green Polyurethane™. Its focus is within the C.A.S.E. segment specifically for large industrial and commercial coatings applications where Green Polyurethane™ has a natural competitive advantage over other PU and epoxy coatings due to its superior chemical resistance and environmentally safe properties with reduced health risks.
The Company’s ultimate goal is to license its proprietary Green Polyurethane™ formulation to national and/or global coatings formulators and then focus on rolling out the commercialization of other Green Polyurethane™ applications such as adhesives and sealants. In order to achieve this, the Company is proving the validity of its products through direct sales and is targeting large distributors and multiple client bases. The Company intends to focus within the C.A.S.E. segment specifically for large industrial and commercial coatings applications where Green Polyurethane™ has a natural competitive advantage over other polyurethane ("PU") and epoxy coatings due to its superior chemical resistance and environmentally safe properties with reduced health risks. Some of the target applications for Green Polyurethane™ products markets include:
Industrial and commercial buildings
Civil applications for tunnels and bridges
Private and public garages
Chemical and food processing plants
Warehouses
Monolithic floorings for civil, industrial and military engineering
Marine and Aeronautic applications
Industrial equipment for dairy and liquid fertilizer processing plants and delivery systems
Military facilities and equipment
Protective coatings inside industrial and commercial pipes
The Company’s business growth model includes a two-pronged strategy of direct sales and licensing. HCT’s ultimate goal is to license our proprietary formulation to national or global coatings formulators. In order to achieve this it is proving the validity of its products through direct sales.
In addition, the Company plans to:
Increase the number of contractors and applicators contacted
Contact paint formulators and offer Green Polyurethane® Binder for their proprietary formulations
Establish distribution channels utilizing existing distribution hubs
Sub-license technology in certain geographic areas.

HCT intends to establish full commercial-scale manufacturing for both of its products at Adhpro Adhesives in Magog, Quebec and Simpson Coatings in California through non-exclusive toll manufacturing agreements.
HCT’s strategy is to avoid large capital investments in manufacturing and to outsource the manufacturing of the Nanotech Products to third-party manufacturers. At current capacity, the Company can outsource the manufacture of up to 20,000 tons per year.
HCT is currently at the commencement of the commercialization phase of its business model. HCT plans on significantly expanding its sales and client base by promoting the NTI Products at trade unions, press and trade shows and by capitalizing on existing distribution hubs to increase its distribution channels and build new strategic relationships. The company expects to have significant sales by the end of 2012.
Results of Operation
HCT is a developmental stage company and as such does not yet have any revenues. Management is in talks with prospective clients and the Company expects to have revenues in this fiscal year. For the period January 1 through March 31, 2012 the Company had sample sales of $5,430 and associated cost of sales of $1,100 , general and administration expenses, net of stock-based compensation of $379,878, amounted to $256,639, with only non-cash charges related to the amortization of debt discounts, amortization of intangibles of $54,660, interest expense of $225,153, and a gain in the fair value of the derivative liability of $8,744 all resulting in a net loss of $905,256. For the comparative period January 1 through March 31, 2011, sales were nil, general and administration expenses, net of stock-based compensation of $51,000, amounted to $374,438, with only non-cash charges related to the amortization of debt discounts, amortization of intangibles of $41,667, and interest expense of $1,283,207 all resulting in a net loss of $1,750,312.
The Company expects to significantly increase operating expenses including selling general and administrative expenses as the Company commences its efforts to commercialize its products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had cash and equivalents of $-0- and negative working capital of approximately $2,700,000 as of March 31, 2012. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company received $119,500 proceeds from convertible debentures, $186,760 in shareholder loans and $144,500 in other loans. The Company intends to raise additional capital to fund ongoing operations, but has no assurances of being able to do so. If the Company is not successful in raising sufficient additional financing, it may be forced to substantially curtail, or cease, its operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.
Development Stage Company
During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company complied with ASC 915 “Development Stage Entities” in its characterization of the Company as a development stage enterprise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Convertible Debt
The fair market value of our 10% senior secured convertible debentures is subject to interest rate risk, market price risk and other factors due to the convertible feature of the debentures. The fair market value of the debentures will generally increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In addition, the fair market value of the debentures will generally increase as the market price of our common stock increases and decrease as the market price falls. The interest and market value changes affect the fair market value of the debentures but do not impact our financial position, cash flows or results of operations due to the fixed nature of the debt obligations.
