Across the world, the call for using renewable sources of energy for electricity generation has been increasing. However solar energy has to date been an expensive proposition with projections of 21 cents a kWh in 2016 compared to the relatively inexpensive conventional sources of electricity generation. Wind energy has failed in most regions due to unreliable supply.
The electricity generation industry is a multi- trillion dollar industry and as demand is projected to increase, the industry is certain to grow. However, the industry faces substantial wastage in terms of heat generation during production. Approximately 68 % of the fuel spent is wasted as heat and only about 30% energy in the fuel reaches the consumer after transmission losses. Hence improving efficiency in production can immediately improve the statistics for this multi-trillion dollar industry.The dynamics of the industry are such that they have led to a concentration of power in a few national energy production companies. Concentration, most of the times, is absolute since there is usually a single major producer in a local area. We believe that the size of the industry and the potential problems it is facing can lead to a more sustainable, cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative.
The fuel cell industry will fill the gap for a cost effective and environmentally friendly electricity producer. The industry broke the $1 billion mark in revenues in 2012. In a report published by Markets and Markets, the fuel cell industry is expected to reach $2.5 billion by 2018 aided by the flexibility in size, power and varied applications that a fuel cell can be used. The fuel industry is affected by three major factors:
The driver for this growth has been the cost of hydrogen, which is the fuel source in a fuel cell. Hydrogen is growing because it is less expensive and abundant. However, the widespread adoption for fuel cell has not started since most firms are trying to develop a single product that can be the perfect fuel for electricity generation. With the breakthrough by Dr. Berry and his team in developing fuel cell systems that can be used in electricity generation, it is now possible to produce fuel cells at a reasonable cost. We believe this can lead to increase in demand for the Company’s products from sectors that earlier did not consider fuel cells a viable option.
The current industry figures of an approximately $3 trillion energy market and the demand for roughly 50,000 gigawatts of fuel cells means there can be an initial demand for 50 million fuel cells of average capacity of 100kW. At a price of $500,000 per 100kW the retail market is estimated to be $250 trillion. Not only does the retail market dwarf the GDP of all countries, it also provides an insight into the subdued demand of the energy sector.
The current emphasis on electricity generation via conventional sources has resulted in an insecure, inefficient and environmentally detrimental system. GEIG’s fuel cell systems have the potential to drive the market into an entirely new direction. The GEIG system can be economically produced, is scalable and does not tap into an electricity grid. Therefore, it eliminates most of the waste currently associated with electricity generation and distribution. Its ability to combine with other sources of renewable energy such as wind, solar, tidal and bio fuels can contribute massively to improvement of the economic and health conditions of a vast majority of the population.
A fuel cell is a device that produces electricity using chemical reactions without any moving parts. Hydrogen forms the source fuel power, but the fuel cell also requires oxygen to produce electricity. Since electricity is created chemically in a fuel cell, fuel cells are not subject to thermodynamic laws that limit a conventional power plant. Hence, fuel cells are efficient in generating electricity at a greater efficiency of over 50% compared to other non-renewable sources of electricity generation such as internal combustion engine generators which have energy efficiency of approximately 10% to 20%.
Fuel cells continue to generate electricity so long as they have a source of fuel. Therefore, the fuel cell requires refueling and not recharging. The chemical by-products of the fuel cell process are almost entirely CO2, water, and a small amount of NO. The waste heat from some cells can also be harnessed, which further improves system efficiency. In comparison, waste heat from conventional electricity generators is rarely used due to the carbon monoxide generated and inconsistent levels of heat produced.
The Fuel Cell Market
There has been significant advancement in the development of fuel cell technology. However there still remain a few critical barriers to mass market commercialization. The barriers include:
| · | Lack of hydrogen infrastructure for fuel storage and distribution |
| · | Significantly high cost of ownership for fuel cell membranes due to use of precious metals |
| · | Diseconomies of scale for manufacturers in both membrane and component cost |
| · | Overall manufacturing cost due to lack of large volume applications |
| · | Lack of a single, robust fuel cell power systems that can cater to varied user requirements |
While commercialization of fuel cell systems is not yet a complete success, its potential benefits to the energy industry and users at large cannot be ignored.
The Addressable Fuel Cell Market
While the high cost of components and diseconomies of scale will continue until the time there is wide acceptance of fuel cells as a primary source of energy, GEIG with its X5 Smart Adaptable Fuel Cell Auxiliary Power Unit (the “GEI X5”) solves 2 crucial commercialization barriers. The GEI X5 provides for a fuel storage system as well as a fuel cell power system that can cater to varied user requirements. The GEI X5 uses a high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell and a high-energy density Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. A typical fuel cell system has high energy density but lacks the peak power and load carrying capacities of a typical battery. The X5 hybrid system combines the qualities of both.
The GEI X5 is easily scalable and can be custom sized to meet the requirements of any application. The battery in the X5 caters to instant power demands and enables smooth operations. During low power demand periods, the fuel cell charges the battery. Without a battery, a fuel cell system would be unable to satisfy different load demands and require different control strategies. The GEI X5 hybrid system, by combining the battery to the fuel cell, provides a simple and reliable control system.
The GEI High Temperature PEM (HTPEM) provides solution to the problem of fuel storage. The HTPEM technology operates between temperatures of 160-180 degrees Celsius and extracts hydrogen from available infrastructure such as propane, natural gas, bio fuels, ethanol, methane, methanol and synthetic fuels. This ensures that the X5 fuel cell system is not limited by hydrogen availability. The HTPEM offers a multitude of advantages to the users.

COMPETITION AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
GEI X5 has a strategic advantage in terms of systems integration and a robust design methodology. The design methodology has improved overall product quality. The X5 has a significant advantage over other fuel cell systems through the use of HTPEM fuel cell stacks which increase power density by 25% due to more efficient flow distribution and thermal management. This also results in a higher tolerance for impurities such as CO and sulfur in the fuel source while providing the capability to use logistically inexpensive fuels such as low sulfur diesel, propane, methanol, ethanol, and bio-diesel fuels.
Due to the varied application of the GEI fuel cell systems, the Company faces competition from a number of companies. However, many of them do not currently pose a significant threat due to the technological advantage the Company has over them.
Plug Power Systems: Low temperature fuel cell operate on pure hydrogen designed for fork lift trucks. They are not a direct competitor to GEI due to its limited market segment, its low temperature technology and limited scope for expansion.
Clear Edge Power: California based high temperature 5kW fuel cells operating on natural gas and focused on residential customers. Applications are limited by its inability to meet power demand spikes created by every day household appliances. GEI possesses competitive advantages due to greater perceived system flexibility.
Nordic Power Systems: European based high temperature 1kW fuel cells operating on low sulfur diesel fuel. Nordic has lower operating efficiencies and low volume production compared to GEIG.
UltraCell Power: Portable high temperature 25kW fuel cells operating on reformed methanol. UltraCell Power target market and large cell size is a significant barrier.
Bloom Energy: We believe Bloom could be a serious competitor in the large stationary and base load stationary markets. However GEIG fuel cell systems operate at a much lower temperature compared to Bloom’s core fuel cell which operate at 800C and are less responsive to spike in operating loads. Further their current manufacturing process is expensive.
SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS
Products are readily available from the vendors evaluated to accommodate short term objectives. Equipment production can be increased with relatively short notice. The product supply chain is well established with at least two suppliers for each core component. GEI Global has also established an international supply chain partner via Hong Kong and formed a JV partnership denoted as GEI ASIA.

ITEM 2. RISK FACTORS
Investment in the securities offered hereby involves certain risks and is suitable only for investors of substantial financial means. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment decision concerning the common stock.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY
Damage to Brand Name
Since fuel cell is relatively nascent and every new improvement is viewed with a certain amount of doubt, any fault in the working of the GEIG fuel cell power system could damage the Company’s brand name.
Unauthorized Use of Intellectual Property
The GEIG fuel cell system is a potential game changer in the energy industry. Likely competitors may very well duplicate the workings of the GEI X5 fuel cell technology.
High Capital Requirements
Significant capital will be required to build large scale production facilities once contracts with government and private parties are finalized.
Lack of Profitable Operating History
The Company does not have a history of profitable operation. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The Company’s ability to achieve profitability will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the Company:
| ● | has funds available for working capital, project development and sales and marketing efforts; |
| ● | has funds for the continuous upgrading of its production operations and facilities; |
| ● | achieves the projected sales revenues; |
| ● | controls the Company’s operating expenses; |
| ● | continues to attract new business; |
| ● | withstands competition in the Company’s marketplace. |
Competition
The Company’s competitors are rapidly changing and may be well capitalized and financially stronger than GEI Global Energy Corp.. Our competitors could reproduce the company’s business model without significant barriers to entry.
The Company’s activities may require additional financing, which may not be obtainable.
The Company had limited cash deposits. Based on the Company’s expectations as to future performance, the Company considers these resources and existing and anticipated credit facilities, to be adequate to meet the Company’s anticipated cash and working capital needs at least through December 31, 2014. The Company, however, expects to be able to raise capital to fund the Company’s operations, current and future acquisitions and investment in new program development. The Company may also need to raise additional capital to fund expansion of the Company’s business by way of one or more strategic acquisitions. Unless the Company’s results improve significantly, it is doubtful that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital for any purpose if and when the Company needs it.
The Company depends heavily on the Company’s senior management who may be difficult to replace.
The Company believes that the Company’s future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of its Chairman, CEO and other key executives. Any of these executives would be difficult to replace. While all of them have incentives to remain with the Company such as stock equity and are not bound by employment contracts, there is no assurance that either of them will not elect to terminate their services to us at any time.
Increasing the Company’s business depends on the Company’s ability to increase demand for the Company’s products and services.
While the Company believes that there is a market for its planned increase in the Company’s products and services, there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its choice of product or technology or that consumer demand will increase as the Company anticipates.
The Company’s ability to operate and compete effectively requires that the Company hires and retains skilled marketing and technical personnel, who have been in short supply from time to time and may be unavailable to us when the Company needs them.
The Company’s business requires us to be able to continuously attract, train, motivate and retain highly skilled employees, particularly marketing and other senior management personnel. The Company’s failure to attract and retain the highly trained personnel who are integral to the Company’s sales, development and distribution processes may limit the rate at which the Company can generate sales. The Company’s inability to attract and retain the individuals the Company needs could adversely impact the Company’s business and the Company’s ability to achieve profitability. The company intends to mitigate this risk by purchasing business interrupting insurance.
The Company may suffer from a business interruption and continuity of its ongoing operations might be affected.
The Company’s ability to implement its business plans may be adversely affected by any business interruption that will affect the continuity of its operations. While the Company may take reasonable steps to protect itself, there could be interruptions from computer viruses, server attacks, network or production failures and other potential interruptions that would be beyond the Company’s reasonable control. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will prevent all such interruptions. Any of the foregoing events may result in an interruption of services and a breach of the Company’s obligations to its clients and customers or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.
Macro-economic factors may impede business, access to finance or may increase the cost of finance or other operational costs of the Company.
Changes in the United States and global financial and equity markets, including market disruptions, interest rate fluctuations, or inflation changes, may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain financing for its operations or investments or increase the cost of obtaining financing. In the event that the Company is delayed in attaining its projections, borrowing costs can be affected by short and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent ratings agencies which are based, in significant part, on the Company’s performance as measured by credit metrics such as interest coverage and leverage ratios. Decrease in these ratios or debt ratings would increase the Company’s cost of borrowings and make it more difficult to obtain financing.
There is a limitation on the officers and directors liability.
The articles of the Company limit the personal liability of directors and officers for breach of fiduciary duty and the Company provides an indemnity for expenses and liabilities to any person who is threatened or made a party to any legal action by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the Company unless the action of proven to that the person was liable to be negligent or misconduct in the performance of their duty to the Company.
The loss of our key officers or directors may raise substantial doubt as to the continued viability of the Company.
GEI Global Energy Corp.’s operations depend on the technical efforts of key officers and directors and the loss of their services may subsequently harm the company.
Because of our new business model, we have not proven our ability to generate profit, and any investment in GEI Global Energy Corp. is risky.
We have very little meaningful operating history so it will be difficult for you to evaluate an investment in our stock. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure that we will ever be profitable. Since we have not proven the essential elements of profitable operations, you will be furnishing venture capital to us and will bear the risk of complete loss of your investment in the event we are not successful.
We may be unsuccessful in monitoring new trends.
Our net revenue might decrease with time. Consequently, our future success depends on our ability to identify and monitor trends and the development of new markets. To establish market acceptance of a new technologies, we will dedicate significant resources to research and development, production and sales and marketing. We will incur significant costs in developing, commissioning and selling new products, which often significantly precedes meaningful revenues from its sale. Consequently, new business can require significant time and investment to achieve profitability. Prospective investors should note, however, that there can be no assurance that our efforts to introduce new products or other services will be successful or profitable.
We may face distribution and product risks.
Our future financial results depend in large part on our ability to develop relationships with our customers. Any disruption in our relationships with our future customers could adversely affect our financial performance.
We may face claims of infringement on intellectual property rights.
Other parties may assert claims of ownership or infringement or assert a right to payment with respect to the exploitation of certain intellectual properties against us. In many cases, the rights owned or being acquired by us are limited in scope, do not extend to exploitation in all present or future uses or in perpetuity. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in any of these claims. In addition, our ability to demonstrate, maintain or enforce these rights may be difficult. The inability to demonstrate or difficulty in demonstrating our ownership or license rights in these technologies may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue from or use of these intellectual property rights.
If our operating costs exceed our estimates, it may impact our ability to continue operations.
We believe we have accurately estimated our needs for the next 18 months. It is possible that we may need to purchase additional equipment, hire additional personnel, and further develop new business ventures, or that our operating costs will be higher than estimated. If this happens, it may impact our ability to generate revenue and we would need to seek additional funding. We intend to establish our initial client base via existing relationships that our directors and officers have established in past business relationships. Should these relationships not generate the anticipated volume of business, any unanticipated costs would diminish our working capital.
Competitors with more resources may force us out of business.
Competition in our sectors of business come from a variety of factors, including quality, timely commissioning of new projects, product positioning, pricing and brand name recognition. The principal competitors for our business may do this better than we can. Each of these competitors has substantially greater financial resources than we do. New technologies may also present substantial competition. We may be unsuccessful in competing with these competitors, which may materially harm our business.
GEI Global Energy Corp. may not be able to attain profitability without additional funding, which may be unavailable.
GEI Global Energy Corp. has limited capital resources. Unless GEI Global Energy Corp. begins to generate sufficient revenues to finance operations as a going concern, GEI Global Energy Corp. may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force GEI Global Energy Corp. to cease operations if additional financing is not available.

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the market price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause the price of our common stock to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to the board of directors and management.
If we are unable to pay the costs associated with being a public, reporting company, we may not be able to continue trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and/or we may be forced to discontinue operations.
Our common stock is listed for trading on the OTCQB. We expect to have significant costs associated with being a public, reporting company, which may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue trading on the OTCQB and/or continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue trading on the OTCQB and/or continue as a going concern will depend on positive cash flow, if any, from future operations and on our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. If we are unable to achieve the necessary product sales or raise or obtain needed funding to cover the costs of operating as a public, reporting company, our common stock may be deleted from the OTCQB and/or we may be forced to discontinue operations.
Our principal stockholders have the ability to exert significant control in matters requiring stockholder approval and could delay, deter, or prevent a change in control of our company.
Principal stockholders hold a considerable percentage of stock and have the ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because they control such shares, investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Because the influence by these shareholders could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of those shareholders and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock. Investors who purchase our common stock should be willing to entrust all aspects of operational control to our current management team.
We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We do not plan on making any cash distributions in the manner of a dividend or otherwise. Our Board presently intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings, if any.
We have the right to issue additional common stock and preferred stock without consent of stockholders. This would have the effect of diluting investors’ ownership and could decrease the value of their investment.
We are authorized to issue up to 800,000,000 shares of common stock, of which there are currently 47,614,969 shares issued and outstanding.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of shares of preferred stock, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations of which may be set by the Board of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation has authorized the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in the discretion of our Board. The shares of authorized but undesignated preferred stock may be issued upon filing of an amended certificate of incorporation and the payment of required fees; no further stockholder action is required. If issued, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations of such preferred stock would be set by our Board and could operate to the disadvantage of the outstanding common stock. Such terms could include, among others, preferences as to dividends and distributions on liquidation.
Our common stock is governed under The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average annual revenue of at least $6,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
The forward looking statements contained in this Prospectus report may prove incorrect.
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements, including among others: (i) anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; (ii) our business strategy for expanding distribution; and (iii) our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In addition to the other risks described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include: (i) changes to external competitive market factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) anticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the biotechnology industry; and (iv) various competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace. In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, there can be no assurance that the events predicted in forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will, in fact, transpire.
SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions, identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets, market demand, delayed payments of accounts receivables, technological developments, maintenance of relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key personnel and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be beyond the control of the Company. Management will elect additional changes to revenue recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e. SBDC). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth therein.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future.
In addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013, Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012
The Company did not generate any revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $442,469 from $6,348 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses are related to the salaries of management of $103,129 and subcontractors of $98,302, professional fees of $116,028, Rent of $45,450 and Office expense of $63,700 in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $6,348 in the year ended December 31, 2012.
Interest expense decreased to $79,433 from $78,822 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our interest expense decreased as a result of the decrease in outstanding borrowings on our lines of credits from the conversion of our principle debt and accrued interest.
Depreciation expense increased to $9,838 from $1,530 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our depreciation expense increased as a result of the increase in our leasehold improvements to our warehouse.
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 December 31, 2013 of $3,697,339 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 ($413,186) and ($23,495) for the years ended December 31, 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 ($219,687) and ($0.00) for the years ended December 31, 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 $638,329 and $9,437 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We received cash from advances of $674,500, proceeds from convertible debt of $30,000, and proceeds from the sale of our common stock of $67,500 for year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2013, received $12,500 and repaid $110,742 from our CEO. We repaid our loan to the City of Flint Michigan and accrued interest of $35,429 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
PROPOSED MILESTONES TO IMPLEMENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS
The following milestones are estimates only. The working capital requirements and the projected milestones are approximations only and subject to adjustment based on costs and needs of the Company, and market conditions of the media and broadcasting industry, none of which can be forecast exactly.
The costs associated with operating as a public company are included in our budget. Management will be responsible for the preparation of the required documents to keep the costs to a minimum.
GEI Global Energy Corp. has already achieved initial milestones associated with design, development and launch of a new product, all of which are familiar to the company and its management team.
These include:
| · | Design and prototype of integrated oil base steam reforming technology. |
| · | Design and prototype of scalable and distributed command and control imbedded microprocessor hardware and software. |
| · | Design and prototype of efficient fuel cell power system integrated thermal management system. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
GEI Global Energy Corp. is a Fuel Cell Company incorporated in the state of Nevada in 2013. The Company was formed to develop to commercialize fuel cell power systems technology developed by Dr. K. J. Berry, GEI Chairman and CEO.
Development Stage Company
The Company is currently considered a development stage company as defined by FASB ASC 915-10-05. As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date. An entity remains in the development stage until such time as, among other factors, revenues have been realized. To date, the development stage of the Company’s operations consists of developing the business model and marketing concepts.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date, the Company estimates the fair value of the award using a valuation technique. For this purpose, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally equal to the vesting period. Upon exercise, shares issued will be newly issued shares from authorized common stock.
ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. The Company had no items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception at May 10, 2010. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company recognized $1,469,257 and $-0- of compensation expense related to common stock warrants issued for services for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Sales on fixed price contracts are recorded when services are earned, the earnings process is complete or substantially complete, and the revenue is measurable and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue from sales in which payment has been received, but the earnings process has not occurred. No sales have yet commenced.
Research and Development Expenses
We anticipate incurring significant research and development expenses in the future as we discover, develop, and bring to market new products and treatments. We do not currently have an estimate of those costs because we do not know the extent or scope of products that we may be able to develop. We have not estimated the amount nor timing of costs, internal or external, that we expect to incur on any of our major research and development projects because we do not have the financial capital necessary to hire consultants and financial analysts necessary to do so. We do intend, in the future at a time when we are more comfortably capitalized, to prepare thorough estimates. There are significant risks associated with developing projects on schedule and within budget, including but not limited to capital funding, loss of market share, and unforeseen product liability. To date, we have spent a total of $112,488 developing the patents, consisting of $46,591 of patent application related fees and $78,404 of research and development costs.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be recovered through future operations.
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GEI Global Energy Corp. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GEI Global Energy Corp. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that GEI Global Energy Corp. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, GEI Global Energy Corp. has accumulated losses since inception and has a net working capital deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GEI GLOBAL ENERGY CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
GEI Global Energy Corp., formerly Suja 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 consolidated 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 December 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,076,393 and has accumulated losses of $3,697,339 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated 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. Subsequent to year-end the Company has entered into an Investment Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC, in order to establish a possible source of funding up to $10,000,000.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013, cash includes cash on hand and cash in the bank and the FDIC insures these deposits up to $250,000.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Management has assessed the impairment of long-lived assets and noted no impairment.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that the value of such assets will be realized.
The Company uses the two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At December 31, 2013, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method in determining fair value. This model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the terms of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated life:
Furniture & fixtures | 5 years |
Equipment | 5 years |
Computer software and hardware | 5 years |
Leasehold improvements | 5 years |
At December 31, 2013, the Company had $157,872 in demonstration equipment under construction on which no depreciation is taken.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenues related to fixed-price contracts that provide for development of full-cell generation systems development services are recognized as the service is performed using the percentage of completion method of accounting, under which the total value of revenue is recognized on the basis of the percentage that each contract’s total labor cost to date bears to the total expected labor costs (cost to cost method). Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, which is considered to occur when title passes to the customer. This generally occurs when product is physically transferred onto a vessel, train, conveyor or other delivery mechanisms. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, advances received, an amount due to a related party, loan payable, convertible note and note payable. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations. Management does not believe that the Company is subject to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations, asset retirement obligations, financial instrument valuations, stock-based compensation and loss contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share during periods where net losses are incurred since the inclusion of the potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss.
Concentration of Credit Risk
All of the Company’s cash is maintained in regional and national financial institutions. The Company has exposure to credit risk to the extent that its cash exceeds amounts covered by the U.S. federal deposit insurance; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. In management’s opinion, the capitalization and operating history of the financial institutions are such that the likelihood of material loss is remote.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
● Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and
● Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities , which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In October 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill . The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
