Sauer Energy, Inc.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to the Financial Statements
November 30, 2014
Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:
These unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended November 30, 2014 reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented, in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s fiscal year end August 31, 2014, report. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the threemonth period ended November 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending August 31, 2015.
Following is a summary of our organization and significant accounting policies:
Organization and nature of business –Sauer Energy, Inc.(formerly: BCO Hydrocarbon Ltd.) (identified in these footnotes as “we” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on August 19, 2008. It was a natural resource exploration stage company and anticipated acquiring, exploring, and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource assets. BCO had the right to acquire a 50% working interest in an oil and gas lease in Alberta, Canada.
Sauer Energy, Inc. (the “Old Sauer”) was incorporated in California on August 7, 2008. The Company is a development stage company engaged in the design and manufacture of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) systems.
On July 25, 2010, the Company, the president and sole director Malcolm Albery (“MA”) and Dieter Sauer, Jr. (“DS”) completed a closing (the “Closing”) under an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of June 23, 2010 (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provided: (a) for the purchase by DS of all of the 39,812,500 shares of the Company owned by MA for $55,200; (b) the contribution by DS of all of the shares of Old Sauer, a California corporation (“SEI”) to the Company; (c) the assignment of certain patent rights related to wind turbine technology held by DS to the Company; and (d) the election of DS to the Company’s board of directors. In connection with the Closing, Mr. Sauer was elected President and CEO of the Company and two former shareholders of the Company agreed to (i) indemnify the Company against any claims resulting from breaches of representations and warranties by the Company in the Agreement; (ii) to acquire and cause to be returned for cancellation an aggregate of 67,437,500 shares of the Company’s common Stock, including all of the shares owned by former officer and director Daniel Brooks and; (3) assume all of the Company’s obligations in connection with certain oil and gas leases in Canada.
The agreement was executed on July 25, 2010. Sauer Energy, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On August 29, Malcolm Albery resigned as President and was replaced by Dieter Sauer. In the following month, the Company changed its name from BCO Hydrocarbon Ltd. to Sauer Energy, Inc.
The Company’s fiscal year-end is August 31.
Basis of presentation –Our accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to development stage enterprises.
Page 12 of 30
Use of estimates -The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents -For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
Fixed assets -Property, plant and equipment is valued at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. If the costs of certain components of an item of property, plant and equipment are significant in relation to the total cost of the item, they are accounted for and depreciated separately. Depreciation expense is recognized using the straight-line method for the vehicle and the double declining method for all remaining assets and is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset. The following useful lives are assumed:
Vehicle & Equipment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 years
Furniture & Fixtures . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 Years
Fair Value of Financial Instruments -The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820- 10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:
|
|
- Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
- Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
|
|
- Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of November 30, 2014 reflect:
|
|
- Cash: Level One measurement based on bank reporting. |
- Loan receivable and loans from Officers and related parties: Level 2 based on promissory notes. - Derivative liability: Level two measurement based upon the relative fair market value of the Company’s free trading common stock.
|
Federal income taxes-The Company utilizes FASB ACS 740,“Income Taxes”,which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry-forward. A valuation allowance of 100% has been established.
Page 13 of 30
Interest and penalties on tax deficiencies recognized in accordance with ASC accounting standards are classified as income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10-50-19.
Research and development costs -The Company expenses costs of research and development cost as incurred. Research and development costs for the three months ended November 30, 2014and November 30, 2013, was $39,614 and $23,705 respectively.
Advertising -Advertising and marketing expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013 was $4,433 and $1,488 respectively.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share -Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The Company has potentially dilutive securities outstanding consisting of warrants to purchase common stock, (see Note 10) and the conversion of convertible loans (see Note 7). For the three months ended November 30, 2014, the warrants would not have been exercised since they are priced significantly higher than the market value of the Company’s trading common stock, while the convertible loans would likely be converted due to the discount that would be applied to the market price. As of November 30, 2014, the 12,500,000possible shares under the convertible loan would be considered dilutive. Alternatively, for the three months ended November 30, 2013, the exercise of warrants or conversions would be anti-dilutive since the Company was in a loss position, and they are not counted in the calculation of loss per share. The total common stock equivalents on a fully diluted basis if all outstanding agreements were exercised at November 30, 2014 and 2013 were 19,300,000 and 7,175,879 shares, respectively.
Development Stage Company -The Company is considered a development stage company, with no operating revenues during the periods presented, as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification ASC 915. ACS 915 requires companies to report their operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows since inception through the date that revenues are generated from management’s intended operations, among other things. Management has defined inception as August 7, 2008. Since inception, the Company has incurred an operating loss of $7,773,294. The Company’s working capital has been generated through advances from the principal of the Company and solicitation of subscriptions. Management has provided financial data since August 7, 2008 in the financial statements, as a means to provide readers of the Company’s financial information to be able to make informed investment decisions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements. The following pronouncement was deemed applicable to our financial statements.
In July of 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-13,"Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion thereof, in the statement of financial position as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions related to availability. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Financial Statements until the Company can reasonably project future income. As such, the Company will disclose the Reserve pertaining to the NOL Carryforward in the Notes to the Financial Statements until such time as the Company is able to present the unrecognized NOL in the statement of financial position.
In April of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property Plant, and Equipment Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this Update affect an entity that has a component that is disposed of or held for sale. We are evaluating the inclusion of this information should it apply in the future. This pronouncement will be adopted should it become relevant.
Page 14 of 30
In June of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, “Development State Entities Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, the amendments in this Update affect entities that are development stage entities under U.S. GAAP. A development stage entity is defined in the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification as follows: An entity devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing anew business and for which either of the following conditions exists:
a. Planned principal operations have not commenced.
b. Planned principal operations have commenced, but there has been no significant revenue therefrom.
This update applies to the Company as no significant revenue has been received, although there will be no significant impact on the financial statements since the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. This amendment will become effective as of December 15, 2014 for the Company, after which the presentation of the financial statements will be revised as noted above.
In August of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,”Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities and will become effective as of the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will implement this Update if substantial doubt is ever raised about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued or at the date the financial statements are available to be issue when applicable.
Share based payments and awards
The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, orTopic 718), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, including stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of Topic 718; however the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate”, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly.For the three months ended November 30,2014, we recognized $0 in share based expense due to the issuance of common stock warrants.

Note 2 – Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $7,773,294as of November 30, 2014, and has no revenues.
In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management plans to raise additional capital through the sale of stock to pursue business development activities.

The Company has acquired intangible property in patents, patents pending and goodwill. The patents are being amortized over their expected lives of not more than seventeen years. The restrictive covenants were fully amortized as of August 31, 2013. Those patent costs allocated to pending patents do not begin amortizing until the underlying patent is issued. If for some reason a patent is not issued the costs associated with the acquisition and the continuation of the application are fully amortized in the year of the denial.

Note 6 – Convertible Loans and Interest Payable
The Company entered into note agreements and subsequent modifications and settlements on convertible notes. These notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock and are due usually within one year. The notes were issued with original issuance discounts of twelve percent which as immediately convertible into common stock and if the note was not repaid in ninety days the zero percent interest rate was replaced with an immediate prepaid interest charge at ten percent with was subject to conversion. The Conversion terms were both fixed and variable if the trading prices did not meet the fix conversion price. See the derivative discussion in Note 7 concerning these loans.

Page 17 of 30
Note 7 – Derivative Liabilities
The Company entered into certain convertible loan agreements during 2012 and 2013. These agreements contained terms that allowed for the conversion of the debt into common stock. The basic agreement was originally with $0.25 conversion prices unless the stock sold at less than $0.25. If the trades were at less than original term, the debt holders could elect to convert their debt at sixty percent of the lowest trading price in the 25 trading days prior to the conversion notice. Because of these terms, the debt conversion clause requires that the Company account for these note balances as derivatives valued at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the day of any financial reporting period. At November 30, 2014 and 2013, the fully convertible shares would be 12,500,000 and 5,343,879 common shares, respectively.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies
Rental Agreement:
On August 17, 2012, the Company leased a 10,410 square foot “industrial condominium” in Camarillo, California, for three years for monthly lease payments of $7,000 per month. There are no common area costs. All company operations are concentrated at the site.
Lease Commitments – as of November 30, 2014 for the following five fiscal years:
Fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 $ 63,000
Note 9– Federal Income Taxes
No provision was made for federal income tax, since the Company has had significant net operating losses. Net operating loss carryforwards may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2034. The availability of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more positive change in the ownership of the Company’s stock,unless the same or similar business is carried on. The net operating loss carryforward for federal and state income tax purposes was approximately $7,773,000, which will expire in 2028 through 2034 if not utilized. The Company uses 35% for a composite tax rate to estimate the value of net operating losses for deferred taxes.
The Company incurred net income of $43,107 for the three months ended November 30, 2014. Although the company has no revenue, the net income was the result of the change in the derivative liability on convertible loans. The Company has net operating losses carried forward of approximately $7,773,000 for tax purposes which will expire in 2028 through 2034if not utilized.
No provision was made for federal income tax, since the Company had an overall net operating loss and has accumulated net operating loss carryforwards.
Although Management believes that its estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our tax provisions. Ultimately, the actual tax
Page 18 of 30
benefits to be realized will be based upon future taxable earnings levels, which are very difficult to predict. The Company may be assessed penalties and interest related to the underpayment of income taxes. Such assessments would be treated as a provision of income tax expense on the financial statements. For the year ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, no income tax expense has been realized as a result of operations and no income tax penalties and interest have been accrued related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the State of California. These filings are subject to a three year statute of limitations. The Company’s evaluation of income tax positions included the years ended August 31, 2014, and 2013, could be subject to agency examinations. No filings are currently under examination. No adjustments have been made to reduce the estimated income tax benefit at fiscal yearend or at the quarterly reporting dates. Any valuations relating to these income tax provisions will comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 12 - Contingencies, Litigation
There were no loss contingencies or legal proceedings against the Company with respect to matters arising in the ordinary course of business.
St. George Investment Settlement:
On October 23, 2013, the Company filed a complaint against St George Investments, LLC (“St. George") in Superior Court, Ventura County California seeking declaratory relief as to contracts relating to the Company’s May, 2012 purchase of the assets of Helix Wind from St. George for treasury stock then valued in excess of $1.8 Million and a subsequent February 2013 promissory note for $275,000 executed under the terms of an amendment to the May, 2012 asset purchase agreement. The Company alleged that the Helix Wind asset purchase price had been substantially paid and, in fact, may have been overpaid in light of St. George’s failure to deliver all of the intellectual property of Helix Wind.
On February 3, 2014, the parties participated in a mediation session at the Federal Court and executed an agreement reflecting a settlement in principal (the “Settlement”) which becomes binding only if the parties are unable to come to terms on more formal settlement agreements. The parties have since executed more formal settlement agreements which are included as an exhibit hereto. The basic terms of the Settlement required the issuance of an additional 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to St George under the Helix APA; required St. George to purchase additional shares of our common stock for $300,000 ($0.15 per share) which is a price above the market price at the time of the Settlement; fixed the amount due on the note issued to St George in connection with the Helix APA at $600,000 and granted the Company certain prepayment rights. The Settlement provides for limitations on the amounts of our common stock that St. George may sell into the market.
As of November 30, 2014, the Company still owed St. George $600,000. See Note 14.
NOTE 13 – Correction of an Error
The Company acquired patents and other intangible property in 2012. The originally acquired patents were notgiven lives nor did they begin their amortization. Also the Company had expensed certain legal costs on patents
Page 24 of 30
which should have been capitalized into the patents. The Company had also acquired restrictive covenants of $432,500 which should have been fully amortized in 2013. The unrecognized amortization for the intangible assets for the three months ending November 30, 2013 was $18,491.
The Company also had entered into debt agreements which included original issuance discounts on the loans and a delayed prepaid interest charge. The Company was recognizing these amounts as the underlying debt was converted. Since the full amount owed of interest and discounts were convertible to shares, the expense should have been recognized in the period it was initially convertible. Accordingly, interest was overstated by $12,864 for the three months ending November 30, 2013.
Also the debt agreements included preferential conversion terms which were not identified as possible derivatives. It was determined that the agreements were both under the preferential discount on the conversion of the loan balances to common stock. The fair market value of the possible share conversion terms for the three months ending November 30, 2013 was $342,008, for an increase in other income of $8.337.
For the three months ending November 30, 2013, these corrections resulted in an increaseof$2,710to the net loss of $180,535 for a restated net loss of $183,245 and the same increaseto the accumulated deficit, and no effect upon the loss per share for the quarter.
NOTE 14 – Subsequent Events
Management has reviewed and evaluated subsequent events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date, November 30th, 2014, through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on January 15th, 2015 and determined that only the following additional subsequent event has occurred:
Conversion of Settlement Debt—In early January 2015, St. Georges Investments elected to convert $30,000 of the loan balance in to the Company’s common stock. On January 5th, the Company authorized698,324 shares ofcommon stock to be issued in exchange for cancellation of $30,000 of the convertible loan.
Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Overview
We caution you that reliance on any forward-looking statement involves risks and uncertainties, and that although we believe the assumptions on which our forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could be incorrect. In light of these and other uncertainties, you should not conclude that we will necessarily achieve any plans and objectives or projected financial results referred to in any of the forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to release the results of any revisions of these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances. Some of the factors that may cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include the following:
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended November 30, 2014 v. three months ended November 30, 2013
We have not realized any revenue through November 30, 2014, however the net income reported for the three months ended November 30, 2014 pertains to Other Income and is the result of the change of Derivative Liabilities on Convertible Loans. Our operating expenses increased to $206,893 for the three months ending November 30, 2014 from $187,205 for the three months ending November 30, 2013due to having proved our concept and devoting resources to calibrating our turbines to harmonize with peripheral components. Consulting expenses increased to $43,814for the three months ended November 30, 2014from $24,131for the three months ended November 30,
Page 25 of 30
2013.These overall increases in expenses were offset by decreases in financing costs and other non-operating expenses resulted in our net income of $43,107 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 as compared to the net loss of $180,536 or the three months ended November 30, 2013.We anticipate continued increased costs associated with increased levels of operation and our manufacturing and marketing processes which will begin in the current fiscal year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended November 30, 2014, was $183,337. There were no net cash flows used in investing or financing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2014. We had cash resources of $277,526 at November 30, 2014, and we intend to rely on the sale of stock in private placements to increase liquidity to enable us to execute on our plan to manufacture and market vertical axis wind turbines. As reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 7, 2013, we have entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement from which we anticipate raising substantial additional cash resources, but there can be no assurance that this will occur.
As of May 7, 2013, the Registrant entered into two agreements with Beaufort Ventures PLC, a United Kingdom company (“BVPLC”), an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPA”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA”). The two agreements we filed as exhibits to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 28, 2013 and the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 Number 333-189275 ordered effective September 23, 2013, and the following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
The agreements required the Registrant to file a registration statement for the common stock underlying the EPA. Subject to various limitations set forth in the EPA, BVPLC, after effectiveness of such registration statement, was required to purchase up to $1,500,000 worth of the Registrant’s common stock at a price equal to 80% of the market price as determined under the EPA (prior ten trading days). The EPA provides for volume limitations on the amount of shares that BVPLC must purchase at any time and provides that the Registrant will be paid for the common stock upon electronic delivery of the shares to BVPLC. BVPLC bore the attorney fees relating to the Registration Statement and is not charging the Registrant any additional fees. The Registration Statement was filed by the Registrant and was ordered effective on September 23, 2013.
Funds realized through the EPA are being used by the Registrant as working capital for its operations. To date we have drawn down $335,199. We cannot draw down further amounts under the EPA unless we are able to file a post-effective amendment to our registration statement and have it ordered effective. There can be no assurance we will be able to accomplish these goals.
This is not sufficient to fund our operations and we intend to rely on the sale of stock in private placements to increase liquidity. If we are unable to raise cash through the sale of our stock, we may be required to severely restrict our operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Financial Reporting Release No. 60 of the SEC encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no current revenue-generating activities that give rise to significant assumptions or estimates. Our financial statements filed as part of our November 30, 2014 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Item 3. - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Page 26 of 30
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide this information.
Item 4T. - Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer who is also our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2014. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that as of November 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following two material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of November 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the year ending August 31, 2014, and the quarter ended November 30, 2014. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial
Page 27 of 30
officers and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, as of November 30, 2014, such internal control over financial reporting was not effective. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal control over financial reporting that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives of having segregation of the initiation of transactions, the recording of transactions and the custody of assets. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of November 30, 2014.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) and (2) 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 directors 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.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management's report in this quarterly report.

Management's Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
We will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. First, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives of having separate individuals perform (i) the initiation of transactions, (ii) the recording of transactions and (iii) the custody of assets. Second, we will create a senior position to focus on financial reporting and standardizing and documenting our accounting procedures with the goal of increasing the effectiveness of the internal controls in preventing and detecting misstatements of accounting information. Third, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds areavailable to us. Although there is substantial uncertainty in any such estimate, we anticipate the costs of implementing these remediation initiatives will be approximately $50,000 to $100,000 a year in increased salaries, legal and accounting expenses.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by August 31, 2015.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended November 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 – Legal Proceedings
On October 23, 2013, the Company filed a complaint against St George Investments, LLC (“St. George") in Superior Court, Ventura County California seeking declaratory relief as to contracts relating to the Company’s May, 2012 purchase of the assets of Helix Wind from St. George for treasury stock then valued in excess of $1.8 Million and a subsequent February 2013 promissory note for $275,000 executed under the terms of an amendment to the May, 2012 asset purchase agreement. The Company alleged that the Helix Wind asset purchase price had been substantially paid and, in fact, may have been overpaid in light of St. George’s failure to deliver all of the intellectual property of Helix Wind. St. George interpreted the contracts and promissory note as entitling it to a windfall recovery above and beyond the asset purchase price and promissory note amount. On November 21, 2013, St George exercised its right as a non-California based entity to remove the action from the Ventura state court to the federal court sitting in Los Angeles, the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On November 26, 2013, St. George filed its answer and counterclaim seeking to enforce its interpretation of the contracts and to thereby collect approximately $440,000 above and beyond what is otherwise due, plus costs and attorney’s fees. On February 3, 2014, the parties participated in a mediation session at the Federal Court and executed an agreement reflecting a settlement in principal (the “Settlement”) which becomes binding only if the parties are unable to come to terms on more formal settlement agreements. The parties have since executed more formal settlement agreements which are included as an exhibit hereto. The basic terms of the Settlement required the issuance of an additional 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to St George under the Helix APA; required St. George to purchase an additional shares of our common stock for $300,000 ($0.15 per share) which is a price above the market price at the time of the Settlement; fixed the amount due on the note issued to St George in connection with the Helix APA at $600,000 and granted the Company certain prepayment rights. The Settlement provides for limitations on the amounts of our common stock that St. George may sell into the market. The foregoing is a summary only and is qualified by reference to the settlement agreement included as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2014.
