GEI GLOBAL ENERGY CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTON OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
GEI Global Energy Corp., formerly Sigma Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 28, 2010. The Company’s principal business activity is the construction and sale of fuel cell auxiliary electric power generation systems for residential, commercial, military, and industrial electric applications. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at September 30, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,014,032 and has accumulated losses of $2,101,172 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q/A and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. Notes to the unaudited interim financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2012 have been omitted; this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 included within Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Energy Innovations, Inc. (see Note 11).
On December 12, 2013, the Company completed a 200 for 1 common share consolidation; the share consolidation has been retroactively applied to all common share, weighted average common share, and loss per common share disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and determined that they would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

Notes C-1: On February 4, 2008, the Company entered into four convertible promissory note agreements for a total of $88,000. Pursuant to the agreements, the notes bear interest at 8% per annum. The principal balance and all accrued interest was due and payable on February 4, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”) provided that the note holder has given notice to the Company on or after August 4, 2008, but prior to the Maturity Date, demanding full payment of the note as of the Maturity Date. The principal amount and accrued interest shall be converted into shares of common stock of the Company upon the first occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) If the Company has not received a Payoff Notice and no event of default has occurred as of the Maturity Date; (ii) the final closing date of a minimum of $500,000 financing (the “Next Financing Closing”) which results in the Company receiving new capital investment in exchange for the issuance by the Company of a capital interest in the Company; and (iii) immediately prior to the occurrence of any of the following (“Change of Control”): when (1) the Company sells, conveys, or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its property or business; or (2) when the Company causes to be registered and sold any of its shares of common stock pursuant to and under a registration statement prepared and filed in compliance with the Federal Securities Act of 1933; or (3) when the Company effects any transaction which results in one or more stockholders who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction owning more than eighty percent (80%) of the voting rights of the Company. The Company shall provide a written notice to the note holder of the occurrence of any such conversion event (“Conversion Notice”).
8
If conversion occurs at the Next Financing Closing, then the note is convertible into the same type, series, and class of securities issued under the Next Financing Closing. The conversion price shall equal to conversion amount divided by the average price per share received by the Company at the Next Financing Closing, multiplied by 95% if the Next Financing Closing occurs on or before August 4, 2008, 90% if the Next Financing Closing occurs after August 4, 2008 but on or before August 4, 2009, 85% if the Next Financing Closing occurs after August 4, 2008 but on or before February 4, 2010, or 80% if the Next Financing Closing occurs after February 4, 2010.

Pursuant to ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” the Company did not allocate any proceeds to the conversion feature at issuance as the value of the conversion feature should not be recognized until the contingency event occurs.

The principal amount and accrued interest shall be converted into common stock of the Company upon the first occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) If the Company has not received a Payoff Notice and no event of default has occurred as of the Maturity Date; (ii) the final closing date of a minimum of $500,000 financing (the “Next Financing Closing”) which results in the Company receiving new capital investment in exchange for the issuance by the Company of a capital interest in the Company; and (iii) immediately prior to the occurrence of any of the following (“Change of Control”): when (1) the Company sells, conveys, or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its property or business; or (2) when the Company causes to be registered and sold any of its shares of common stock pursuant to and under a registration statement prepared and filed in compliance with the Federal Securities Act of 1933; or (3) when the Company effects any transaction which results in one or more stockholders who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction owning more than eighty percent (80%) of the voting rights of the Company. The Company shall provide a written notice to the note holder of the occurrence of any such conversion event (“Conversion Notice”).
If conversion occurs at the Next Financing Closing, then the note is convertible into the same type, series, and class of securities issued under the Next Financing Closing.

If conversion occurs at the Next Financing Closing, then the note is convertible into the same type, series, and class of securities issued under the Next Financing Closing.

In the event the note is not repaid or converted on or prior to September 1, 2010 or after an event of default, the rate of interest applicable to the unpaid principal amount shall increase to 15% per annum. Pursuant to the agreement, the holder of the note has the right to convert upon written notice to the Company the principal then due under the note on the following terms: (i) automatically into the Company’s next issued series of preferred stock for not less than $1,500,000 at the per share price. Interest will either be paid or converted at the option of the holder; or (ii) in the event that the conversion in (i) does not occur by August 30, 2010, then the holder will have the option of converting the note into the requisite number of units of the Company’s preferred stock. The conversion price will be determined by the Company immediately prior to the time of conversion.
The conversion price will be determined through (i) or (ii) below at the option of the Company:
i). The per share value of each share of preferred stock will equal to the result of the following formula: (1) six times the average earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of the Company for the 2008 and 2009 fiscal years, divided by the product of (1) by the number of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
ii). The fair market value of each share of preferred stock as of August 30, 2010. The fair market value of the preferred stock shall be determined by a qualified appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the note holder.
Pursuant to ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” the Company did not allocate any proceeds to the conversion feature at issuance as the value of the conversion feature should not be recognized until the contingency event occurs. The Company also evaluated the conversion feature under ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” and determined that the conversion feature did not meet the criteria necessary for derivative treatment.
As of August 30, 2010, the Company had not completed a financing of a minimum of $1,500,000 and the note holder did not contact the Company to determine the fair market value of the preferred stock or demand payment. At September 30, 2013, the promissory note has not been repaid or converted.
Note C-5: On August 31, 2011, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement for $20,000. Pursuant to the agreement, the note bears interest at 6% per annum. The principal balance and all accrued interest is due and payable on August 31, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”) provided that the note holder has given notice to the Company on or after February 28, 2014, but prior to the Maturity Date, demanding full payment of the note as of the Maturity Date. The principal amount and accrued interest shall be converted into shares of common stock of the Company upon the first occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) If the Company has not received a Payoff Notice and no event of default has occurred as of the Maturity Date; (ii) the final closing date of a minimum of $500,000 financing (the “Next Financing Closing”) which results in the Company receiving new capital investment in exchange for the issuance by the Company of a capital interest in the Company; and (iii) immediately prior to the occurrence of any of the following (“Change of Control”): when (1) the Company sells, conveys, or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its property or business; or (2) when the Company causes to be registered and sold any of its shares of common stock pursuant to and under a registration statement prepared and filed in compliance with the Federal Securities Act of 1933; or (3) when the Company effects any transaction which results in one or more stockholders who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction owning more than eighty percent (80%) of the voting rights of the Company. The Company shall provide a written notice to the note holder of the occurrence of any such conversion event (“Conversion Notice”).
If conversion occurs at the Next Financing Closing, then the note is convertible into the same type, series, and class of securities issued under the Next Financing Closing. The conversion price shall equal to conversion amount divided by the average price per share received by the Company at the Next Financing Closing, multiplied by 95% if the Next Financing Closing occurs on or before February 29, 2012, 90% if the Next Financing Closing occurs after February 29, 2012 but on or before February 28, 2013, 85% if the Next Financing Closing occurs after February 28, 2013 but on or before August 31, 2013, or 80% if the Next Financing Closing occurs after August 31, 2013.
If the conversion occurs at the Maturity Date or upon a Change of Control, then the conversion price shall be equal to $9.36 ($1,872 post-split) per share.

NOTE 11 – REVERSE ACQUISITION
On August 15, 2013, Global Energy Innovation Inc. (“GEI”) signed a share purchase agreement (the “Acquisition”) with Suja Minerals Corp. (“Suja”), a public company incorporated in Nevada, United States, according to which Suja has acquired 100% of the 9,000,000 outstanding shares of GEI for $250,000 and 15,000,000 (75,000 post-split) shares of common stock of Suja and 2,500 shares of Series A Convertible Super-Voting Preferred Stock of Suja. In addition, the Company’s President received a right to a royalty of 2.5% of sales up to $100,000,000 per year and 1.5% of sales over $100,000,000 per year for 10 years.
For accounting purposes, the Acquisition has been treated as a reverse recapitalization, rather than a business combination. Accordingly for accounting purposes GEI is considered the acquirer and surviving entity in the reverse recapitalization. The accompanying historical financial statements prior to the Acquisition are those of GEI.
The consolidated financial statements present the previously issued shares of Suja common stock as having been issued pursuant to the Acquisition on August 15, 2013, with the consideration received for such issuance being the consideration payable and the estimated fair value of Suja shares issued, based on the number of equity interest GEI would have had to issue to give Suja the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that results from the reverse acquisition. The excess of the consideration issued over the net assets of Suja is recognized as deficit. As at the date of the acquisition Suja was in a net liability position.

Our Company
On August 15, 2013 we completed an acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of GEI. As part of the closing of this transaction, control of the Company was transferred to Dr. Berry.
GEI, founded in 2007, is part of the fuel cell and sustainable/alternative energy industry. Fuel cells are an efficient, combustion-less, reliable, and virtually pollution-free energy source that provide electricity to power a wide array of applications, including buildings (manufacturing facilities, hotels and hospitals), primary power for grid integration, automobiles, emergency back-up systems, and base load grid power. A fuel cell uses fuel - usually hydrogen, extracted from common fuels such as natural gas, and oxygen - to produce electricity. In principle, a fuel cell is an electrochemical device that operates like a battery. However, unlike a battery, a fuel cell requires re-fueling and not recharging. Fuel cells will continue to produce electricity and heat as long as there is a constant fuel source. Hydrogen fuel cells work simply, have no moving parts, and operate silently, with water and excess heat as their only by-products. Fuel cells thus provide the ideal solution for a myriad of portable, on-board and stationary electric power generation applications.
The GEI fuel cell systems can operate on a number of fuel sources such as natural gas, ethanol, propane and biofuels. This would permit GEI to take advantage of the existing logistic fuel infrastructure, as fuel sources such as natural gas are cost-competitive and abundant in the United States and certain other regions. Since the GEI X5 "brand" fuel cell system is intended to be scalable and stackable, it enables the Company to become a market leader in every category of the fuel cell Industry and has the potential to create new categories. GEI can build fuel cells ranging from 2 kW - 100 kW and since the Company has the ability of stacking the fuel cells like building blocks it can build fuel cell power plants that are multi-megawatt in size.
The GEI fuel cell system provides primary power for homes and buildings and is viewed by management to have a competitive advantage due to very restrictive offerings from other companies with only back-up power (due to fuel restrictions) or power to one singular application (due to technology restrictions). The GEI X5 core strategy is to avoid providing a "niche" technology for a "niche" application, but rather provide a robust and scalable systems technology applicable across multiple platforms that allow high volume cost reductions and savings in design and manufacturing cost. There are currently 3 patents that protect this technology and the Company plans for several more to be filed before the end of 2013.
16
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We design develop and manufacture fuel cell systems. We operate in the “clean energy” sector of the power industry.
Our principal product, the X5 Smart Adaptable Fuel Cell Auxiliary Power Unit (the “GEI X5”) is a “hybrid” fuel cell auxiliary power unit (APU) at the core of systems that can be sized to meet the power requirements for many different applications. The technology allows the cells to run on a variety of fuel types, most notably natural gas. We believe that our fuel cell products can be easily paired with other types of power generating units such as solar and wind. Our products are intended to be both adaptable and reliable. The power stacks provide a range of power outputs from 5 kW to 100 kW, which can be combined further to achieve even greater power outputs.
We have identified opportunities in a number of different applications. These include large scale power generators, commercial trucking and recreational or military vehicles, and backup stationary power for residential or commercial outlets. We will seek to generate income through power generation in partnership or by licensing to large operators, through the sale of our units of various sizes, and through licensing agreements and joint ventures with other manufacturers.
We anticipate that we will achieve full commercial operations in 2014.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated on April 28, 2010 as a Nevada corporation. Pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated August 15, 2013 we acquired all of the capital stock of Global Energy Innovations, Inc. (“GEI”), a Michigan corporation that was incorporated in 2007. As a result of our acquisition of GEI, GEI’s founder, Dr. K. Joel Berry (“Dr. Berry”), acquired control and became our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Director. Our executive offices are located at 6060 Covered Wagons Trail, Flint, MI 48532 USA; our telephone number is (810) 743-8491. Our website is located at http://www.geiglobal.com. The information on our website is not part of this Report. We are an emerging growth company, as that term is defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.0 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
GEI’s Products
Hybrid technology
GEI’s X5 Smart Adaptable Fuel Cell Auxiliary Power Unit (the “GEI X5”) is a “hybrid” fuel cell auxiliary power unit (APU) that incorporates a high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell and a high-energy density Lithium Polymer (LIPO) battery. Although fuel cell systems typically have a higher energy density compared with traditional batteries, fuel cell systems alone do not have the peak power and load following capabilities of a battery. The GEI X5 hybrid system thus benefits from the strengths of both technologies.
GEI’s X5 hybrid fuel cell power systems can be sized to meet the power requirements for any application. The battery or energy storage system responds to instant power demands, provides for instant start capability, and most importantly, provides for smooth operations. The fuel cell charges the battery during periods of low power demands. Since fuel processors are unable to respond instantly to changing load demands, systems without an energy storage media result in exceptionally difficult control strategies. Conversely, the GEI X5 hybrid system provides for simple, reliable, fuel efficient and cost effective control systems.
Fuel supply, by-products and efficiencies
The GEI X5 is designed primarily to run on natural gas. The ideal location for a large scale operation of, for example, 100MW is thus a natural gas field where the gas can be converted to electricity and fed into the grid immediately. Smaller operations, such as 25kW installations for apartments, restaurants and other businesses feed off the natural gas installed network. The GEI X5 can, however, be powered by any fuel from which hydrogen can be readily extracted.
Major by-products are oxygen and water. Heat generated in the cooling process is used in the process of extracting hydrogen from the natural gas, resulting in an overall fuel to electricity efficiency of between 40% and 50%. Harmful by-products are minimized due to the recapturing of the fuel cell stack exhaust.
Integration with other generators
The GEI X5 can be produced as large stationary systems or smaller portable systems. As such it can be plugged in as an auxiliary unit alongside other power sources such as solar, wind, tidal generators. The portable systems are suitable for less permanent locations such as mining camps or military installations where solar units are frequently the major power source.
17
GEI’s proprietary technologies
GEI, through an exclusive license on one patent held by Dr. Berry and two patents pending, has proprietary rights over its Configurable Input High-Power DC-DC Converter (US: 7,843,185) (power management), its fuel cell bipolar plate for optimal uniform delivery of reactant gases and efficient water removal (patent pending) (thermal systems management), and its stack design and assembly of high temperature PEM fuel cells (patent pending).
GEI’s Markets
Industry background and trends
The industry in which GEI operates – power generation – is not new. With increasing development however, especially in the highly populated developing countries of Asia, power generators throughout the world are being required to provide more efficient, cleaner, more affordable and flexible power in ever increasing quantities from power sources that are scarce and possibly finite. We believe that economic, regulatory and political pressure will continue to be applied to power generators, whether their source is fossil fuels, hydro, solar, wind, bio-fuels or any other source.
The most likely areas of significant growth in the foreseeable future are in Asia. The growing middle class in Asia requires greater access to electrical power but is hampered by the lack of infrastructure, particularly well-developed electrical grids. GEI’s fuel-flexible and scalable fuel cell systems offer very appropriate stand-alone systems that can be paired with other stand-alone but less dependable systems such as solar and wind.
Target customers
Our target customers all share a desire for clean, efficient, portable and flexible power. They include participants in the following sectors, particularly in North America, Asia and Europe:
· | Large scale power generators | |
· | Commercial Trucking, Recreational Vehicles and Motor Homes (ancillary power only e.g. for refrigeration units needing power when the engine is turned off) |
· | Marine (ancillary power only) | |
· | Military (ancillary power only) |
· | Disaster Relief Emergency | |
· | Back-up Stationary Power (shopping malls, offices, apartment blocks) |
· | Data Security, Telecommunications |
Competitors
Direct competitors
· | Plug Power Systems: Low temperature fuel cell operating on pure hydrogen designed for fork lift trucks. Limited scope for expansion. We do not consider them to be a direct competitor to GEI due to its limited market segment and its low temperature technology. |
· | Clear Edge Power: California based high temperature 5kW fuel cells operating on natural gas and focused on residential customers. Limited by its inability to meet power demand spikes created by every day household appliances. We believe there is a GEI competitive advantage due to greater perceived system flexibility. |
· | Nordic Power Systems: European based high temperature 1kW fuel cells operating on low sulfur diesel fuel. We do not view them as a present direct competitor to GEI due to Nordic’s perceived lower operating efficiencies and low volume production. |
· | UltraCell Power: Portable high temperature 25kW fuel cells operating on reformed methanol. We do not regard them as a present direct competitor due to their market segment and fuel cell size. |
· | Bloom Energy: GEI considers Bloom to be a serious competitor with respect to the large stationary and base load stationary markets. We believe that GEI may have a competitive advantage over Bloom because of its core fuel cell technology, which operates at very high temperatures (800C), may be less responsive than our technology to spikes in operating loads and may require a more expensive manufacturing process. |
18
Competitive advantages
GEI’s competitive advantages lie in its intellectual property, its leadership and the ability of its fuel cells to operate on multiple different fuels, notably natural gas, propane, ethanol, methanol, methane, or diesel.
Barriers to entry
GEI’s X5 fuel cell systems have taken many years to develop and are protected in part by patents. GEI’s intellectual property thus may provide a barrier to newcomers wishing to enter the same market, although potential entrants may instead design around our patents.

Our marketing and sales strategy
GEI’s business development, marketing and sales strategy is to actively pursue several channels:
· | Large scale power generating facilities based on major natural gas fields that can be readily linked to the grid. These opportunities will be rare and will have long lead times. |
For example, in May 2013 we negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) for a 20 acre site in a natural gas field in Western Pennsylvania on which we intend to build a 100 MW fuel cell power plant. We intend to sell power through local power supply companies.
· | 25kW fuel cell power systems for commercial real estate and small businesses such as restaurants, apartment buildings, large homes, and industrial businesses. These applications are particularly well suited to locations not served by a major electrical grid. Conventional selling methods will be used with this channel. |
For example, GEI is developing relationships with a large Kentucky Fried Chicken (“KFC”) franchisee for deployment at their restaurants within the continental US, Hawaii, and the Virgin Islands.
· | Final assembly of units in various parts of the world in partnership with international manufacturers, allowing for the retention of key intellectual property within GEI while outsourcing the lower value adding manufacturing processes. Selling the final products will be done in collaboration with the joint venture partners. |
For example, in partnership with Indian investors we intend to form GEI INDIA to provide a large final assembly hub for the distribution of the GEI 5kW fuel cell technology throughout India. GEI INDIA expects to receive local investments of $5 million, will purchase the fuel cell power system from GEI USA, and GEI USA will obtain an equity interest in GEI INDIA.
· | Partnering with economic development agencies to promote GEI’s technology with pilot projects on a semi-permanent basis, allowing for broad promotion (trade shows, direct demo’s) within markets considered ripe for acceptance of the technology |
For example in March 2013 we signed an agreement with the Italian Association for Economic Development (Aisvec) to provide a mobile natural gas 25 kW fuel cell power plant that will be used as a demonstration unit available for review by as many as 2,000 small and medium sized municipalities as well as provincial and regional governments.
GEI’s Planned Manufacturing Operations
GEI’s core technology will be manufactured at our home base in Flint, Michigan. We also plan to acquire or lease a larger manufacturing facility in the United States. Final assembly is intended to be done in various parts of the world in partnership with local manufacturers.
20
Our Business Model
We intend to generate revenues and profits from one or more of the following sources:
· | Power generation: Power purchase agreements with regional power distributors purchasing from GEI’s natural gas field based large scale fuel cell installations. In such cases the significant capital costs would be amortized over the estimated life of the project which would be funded with a mix of equity and debt. It is estimated that once the debts have been retired there would be residual cash flows available for distribution to shareholders. Given the scale of these operations it is likely that they would be joint ventured with large-scale power generator corporations. Alternatively GEI may simply sell sufficient units to the power generating corporations; | |
· | Sales of fuel cell systems: Gross margins on fuel cell systems installed stand-alone or paired with solar / wind / geo-thermal installations in shopping complexes, apartments, mining sites, land and marine vessels and the like. The principal return on investment for purchasers of such systems would be derived from the comparatively low energy cost offered by GEI’s fuel cell systems. GEI would thus enjoy an opportunity for strong cash flows on relatively low operational cost of sales; |
· | Licensing or joint venture agreements: Shared profits and/or licensing fees from joint ventures with regional and foreign joint venture partners operating large assembly plants. The joint venture partners that GEI will select would largely operate in regions of the world with low operating costs. Profits derived from this stream would be similar to those referred to above but could have a lower cost base, together with operators experienced selling in their own markets; | |
· | Maintenance contracts on installed GEI fuel cells; |
· | Technical support fees from licensees; and | |
· | Technology transfer fees from Original Equipment Manufacturers |
Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights
We hold an exclusive license to one United States patent owned by Dr. Berry, and we hold directly right to two pending patent applications. These patent rights concern our Configurable Input High-Power DC-DC Converter (US: 7,843,185) (power management), our fuel cell bipolar plate for optimal uniform delivery of reactant gases and efficient water removal (patent pending) (thermal systems management), and our stack design and assembly of high temperature PEM fuel cells (patent pending). While there is no assurance that the pending patents will be issued or that additional patents will be granted, we intend to continue to apply for patent protection covering key portions of the technology used in our fuel cell products.
We presently own the U.S. trademarks to the name GEI Global Energy Innovations.

Depreciation expense increased to $4,150 from $383 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our depreciation expense increased as a result of the increase in our leasehold improvements and demonstration asset.
21
Nine months Ended
The Company did not generate any revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $308,316 from $5,172 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses are related to the salaries of management of $79,629 (September 30, 2012: $nil) and business development of $136,251 (September 30, 2012: $1,150), professional fees of $27,622 (September 30, 2012: $500), rent of $30,225 (September 30, 2012: $1,862) and office expense of $34,589 (September 30, 2012: $1,658) in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to incur substantial expenses and generate significant operating losses as we continue to grow our operations, as well as incur expenses related to operating as a public company and compliance with regulatory requirements.
We have an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2013 of $2,101,172 and need additional cash flows to maintain our operations. We depend on the continued contributions of our executive officers to finance our operations and need to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of our products and business. We expect our cash needs for the next 12 months to be $850,000 to fund our operations. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the successful execution of management’s plans, which include expectations of raiding debt or equity based capital until such time that funds from operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with related parties to sustain the Company’s existence. There is no assurance that such funding, if required will be available to us or, if available, will be available upon terms favorable to us.
Cash flows from operations. Our cash (used in) operating activities were ($351,835) and ($64,289) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily attributable to the increase of general and administrative expenses in 2013 as compared to the 2012 period.
Cash flows from investing activities. Our cash (used in) investing activities were ($166,967) and ($0.00) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities was the purchase of equipment for our demonstration asset and lease hold improvements in our warehouse.
Cash flows from financing activities. Cash by provided by financing activities was $533,626 and $39,411 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We received cash from advances of $664,500 nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, received $2,500 and repaid $97,945 from our CEO. We repaid our loan to the City of Flint Michigan and accrued interest of $35,429 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKETRISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective since the Company has been ineffective in filing timely.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2013. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has been ineffective in the timely filing of the company’s quarterly filings.
The Company’s material weaknesses in financial reporting were:
a. | The inability of the Company to prepare and file its financial statements timely due to its limited financial and personnel resources and delays in the Company’s ability to respond to SEC inquiries regarding financial and accounting presentation. Further, the Company is delinquent in filings its quarterly reports for September 30, 2013. |
b. | There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There is no segregation of duties as our CEO is also our CFO. |
c. | It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. |
