NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2014
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
IDS Industries, Inc. (“IDS” or the “Company”) is a GIIRS-rated “green” energy company that designs and develops solar and power management technologies and incorporates these into its manufacturing and distribution of solar-based portable power stations and other solar-based products for consumer, business, government, and disaster relief applications. We also offer a line of ‘Stationary” Energy Storage systems for residential, commercial and light industrial applications. Both the stationary and portable solar power generators will be under our Company brand name, Charge! Energy Storage.
The Company was formed as Step Out, Inc., a Nevada corporation on May 2, 2011. On July 18, 2011 Step Out issued 10,000,000 common shares to acquire 100% membership interest in SOI Nevada, LLC, a Nevada limited liability corporation from the sole shareholder. The membership interest was acquired at book value from the shareholder. SOI Nevada, LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Step Out, Inc.
On September 19, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Membership Interests and Assumption of Obligations (the “Agreement”) with our sole officer and director, Sterling Hamilton. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company transferred all membership interests in our operating subsidiary, SOI Nevada, LLC, to Mr. Hamilton. In exchange for this assignment of membership interests, Mr. Hamilton agreed to assume and cancel all liabilities relating to our former business of developing a chain of flotation tank therapy spas. In addition, Mr. Hamilton agreed to release all liability under a promissory note due and owing to him in the amount of $2,000.
As a result of the Agreement, the Company is no longer pursuing its former business plan. Under the direction of our newly appointed officers and directors, as set forth below, we intend to develop a business focused on the design, development, manufacturing and distribution of renewable-energy based portable and mobile electrical generators and power stations under our own brand name, IDS Solar TechnologiesÔ.
Effective October 12, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, IDS Acquisition, Inc., pursuant to NRS 92A.180. IDS Acquisition was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 25, 2012. As part of the merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, our board authorized a change in the name of the company to “IDS Solar” Technologies, Inc.”
On January 7, 2013 we launched our planned new product line on a limited basis; with the initial model, the Solar Survivor. The Company continues to design and development other models of electric generators and power stations based on customer input and feedback.
Effective February 7, 2013, the board of directors approved a twelve for one forward split of the Company’s common stock. All shares throughout these financial statement and Form 10-Q have been retroactively restated to reflect the forward split.
Effective May 29, 2013, the board of directors authorized a change in the name of the company to “IDS Industries, Inc.” The new name reflects the direction and focus of the Company more accurately given the full slate of products in advanced development including the battery management and energy storage fields.
On February 6, 2014, the board of directors approved the launch of Propel Management Group, Inc. (PMG) a new wholly owned subsidiary. The core competency of this consulting service includes developing and implementing Program Management in product development, service industry, distribution and logistics. The addition of PMG has already proven to translate in-house core competencies in to additional revenue stream opportunities for IDS Industries.
On March 10, 2014, the board of directors approved the launch of Charge! Energy Storage, Inc. (Charge!) a new wholly owned subsidiary.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit or cash flows.
It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. For further information refer to the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2013.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IDS Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Propel Management Group, Inc. and Charge! Energy Storage, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013.
Basic Loss per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method; market value is based upon estimated replacement costs.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that result from the failure or inability of our customers to make required payments. When determining the allowance, we consider the probability of recoverability of accounts receivable based on past experience. Accounts receivable may also be fully reserved for when specific collection issues are known to exist. The analysis of receivables is performed quarterly, and the allowances are adjusted accordingly.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company’s non-derivative financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, prepaids, inventory, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based primarily on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for similar debt issues. The fair value approximates the carrying value of long-term debt.
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
· | Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
· | Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; |
· | Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The following presents the gross value of assets and liabilities that were measured and recognized at fair value, as ofMay 31, 2014.

Stock-Based Compensation
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from non-employees. Costs are measured at the fair market value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of the date on which there first exists a firm commitment for performance by the provider of goods or services or on the date performance is complete. The Company recognizes the fair value of the equity instruments issued that result in an asset or expense being recorded by the Company, in the same period(s) and in the same manner, as if the Company has paid cash for the goods or services.
The Company accounts for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to non-employees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, the Company recognizes an asset or expense in the same manner as if it was to pay cash for the goods or services instead of paying with or using the equity instrument. During the year ended August 31, 2013, the Company issued 3,157,750 shares of common stock valued at $467,448 to non-employees. As of May 31, 2014 a total of $461,719 has been expensed, and $5,729 remains in deferred stock compensation expense. During the nine months ended May 31, 2014, the Company issued 6,120,000 shares of common stock valued at $137,035 to non-employees. As of May 31, 2014 a total of $34,447 has been expensed, and $102,588 remains in deferred stock compensation expense.
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 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 their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. During the nine months ended May 31, 2014, the Company issued 6,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $81,250 to its CEO.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence; it is more likely than not such benefits will be realized. The Company’s deferred tax assets were fully reserved at May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013.
The Company accounts for its income taxes using the Income Tax topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Revenue Recognition
Sales of products or services and related costs of products or services sold are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. These terms are typically met upon the prepayment or invoicing, and shipment of products.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 – NOTE RECEIVABLE
On August 15, 2013, the Company executed a Note Receivable for $77,307 for funds that it had advanced to another company owned by the former CEO. The note bears interest at 8% and was to mature in ninety days. During the nine months ended May 31, 2014, $39,764 and $1,500 was paid back on the principal and interest, respectively on this loan. As of May 31, 2014, the note has accrued $5,429 in interest. The repayment terms on this note are currently being renegotiated.
NOTE 3 – PREPAIDS AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

Total prepaid expenses and other current assets | $ | 23,161 | $ | 80,196 |
NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On October 12, 2012, the Company executed a promissory note with Argent Offset, LLC for $20,000. The note bears interest at 18% and was due on or before January 10, 2013. On February 27, 2013, a new convertible promissory note was executed for $33,850. The note bears interest at 18% compounded monthly and is due August 26, 2013. The new note amends and replaces in its entirety the note dated October 12, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the note, it is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at any time in whole or in part at a conversion rate of $0.11. On the commitment date, management evaluated the conversion feature with respect to the benefit of the holder and determined the value of the conversion feature to be $18,464. This amount has been recorded as a discount against the outstanding balance of the note. The discount was amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. Interest charged to operations relating to the amortization of the debt discount for the year ended August 31, 2013 amounted to $18,464. In addition, the note included one warrant giving the holder the right to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of three years. As required by ASC 470-20 the Company valued the warrant and recorded a debt discount to additional paid in capital in the amount of $3,690 based on the discount to market available at the time of issuance. The discount was to be amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense. As of August 31, 2013, $3,690 has been amortized to interest expense. On November 26, 2013, an agreement of temporary forbearance was executed in which for a $1,000 fee the lender agreed to waive any default until December 15, 2013. On January 10, 2014, another agreement of temporary forbearance was executed in which for a $500 fee the lender agreed to waive any default until March 20, 2014. On February 4, 2014, $2,500 was repaid on the note and on February 20, 2014, $20,000 of the principal was converted into 2,857,143 shares of common stock at $.007 per share which resulted in a loss on conversion of debt of $18,571. On March 10, 2014 the remaining principal and interest totaling $21,923 was converted into 3,131,792 shares of common stock at $.0632 per share which resulted in a loss on conversion of debt of $176,006.
On December 3, 2012, the Company executed a convertible promissory note with Steven J. Caspi (“Caspi”) for $125,000. The note bears interest at 5% and was due on or before November 30, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the note, it is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at any time in whole or in part at a conversion rate of $1.25. On the commitment date, management evaluated the conversion feature with respect to the benefit of the holder and determined the value of the conversion feature to be $60,000.

The note bears interest at 5% and was due November 30, 2013. As of May 31, 2014 the due date on the note was extended with no specific terms. Total accrued interest on the note is $17,885.
NOTE 9 – SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
On February 6, 2014, our newly-formed subsidiary, Propel Management Group, Inc., entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Californians for Marijuana Legalization and Control (CMLC). Under the Agreement, we will be responsible for overseeing a fundraising effort through telemarketing, e-mail and online to support passage in California of the proposed Marijuana Control, Legalization, and Revenue Act of 2014. In addition, we shall coordinate the gathering of signatures for petitions to place the proposed Act on the ballot in California. We are to be compensated at a rate of $2.75 per petition signature gathered before March 24, 2014 and $3.75 per signature gathered thereafter. In addition, we shall be compensated at a rate of 80% of all contributions generated up to $100,000, 60% of the second $100,000 in contributions, and 43% of contributions generated thereafter.
In mid-April 2014 CMLC made a decision to postpone the pursuit of the target of 800,000 signatures by April 24, 2014 to qualify the proposed Act for the California ballot for this November. Instead they will focus on the higher volume and younger age turnout that is associated with the Presidential election terms like this next November 2016 elections. Furthermore, negotiations are proceeding as planned to retain Propel Management Group for the California legalization 2016 initiative which would be a contract allowing PMG to expand the service of coordinating through multiple Call Centers and raising funds through November of 2016 at the levels defined for the previous 2014 initiative.
.
In June 2014, Propel Management Group was again retained on a subsequent contract by this same group for the education, rallying voters and raising funds for Medical Marijuana Dispensaries initiative in San Jose, CA referred to as Control & Regulation San Jose (CRSJ).
On March 31, Propel Management Group (PMG) engaged in discussion with Aja Cannafacturing (AJA), to develop and launch one of the first licensed medical marijuana processors in the state of Nevada. Upon the successful licensing and launch of the facility it is under consideration that AJA would become a subsidiary of IDST as a term of the contract. If the signing of this agreement proceeds, PMG would discontinuepursuing the acquisition of MiCannaLabs.com which was publicly announced on March 11, 2014. Due to legal technicalities, principals of any cannabis or hemp testing facility must not have any interest in any growing and manufacturing facility according to Nevada state law. (Update): Given the short window of time for application submission and the exorbitant cost the IDST Board decided to not pursue licensing in Clark County at this time however, we will continue to pursue such opportunities as they arise in other NV Counties.
NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN
As of May 31, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,033,944, limited revenue and an accumulated deficit of $2,416,176. The financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management plans on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed basis and in the longer term, upon achieving profitable operations through its business activities.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Company Overview
IDS Industries is restructuring as a family of companies attending niche market opportunities.
CHARGE! Energy Storage Inc.
Our business focuses on the design and development of solar and power management technologies. We incorporate these technologies into the manufacturing and distribution of solar-based portable and mobile power stations and devices. We also plan to offer a line of ‘Stationary” Energy Storage systems that will be adapted for residential and commercial applications allowing customers to reduce their utility costs their dependency on the utility grid.
Going forward, we plan to market our products under the brand name Charge! Energy Storage Inc. Our image is a renewable driven product developer creating energy storage solutions for portable, mobile and stationary applications for every American household. Our industry changing technology will be our lead in to expanding into Stationary Energy Storage for residential, commercial and light industrial based on the development of a patent-pending integrated battery management and control system. We believe this development will allow Charge! Energy Storage customers the ability to optimize electric utility savings through the use of power storage systems based on Lithium-ion based chemistries.
We have continued to develop a sales and distribution network through selected manufacturers, contracted dealers, energy system integrators, and OEMs nationwide to support our planned sales growth vertically and horizontally as our new Lithium-ion chemistry based units emerge.
Products
Each product model features our innovative storage and charge design, with the overall product line marketed as the economical, sturdy and reliable choice for portable solar energy as part of an emergency/disaster preparedness plan or for those seeking an off-grid, odorless, noiseless and non-flammable safer source of power.
Production on the lead acid based Solar Survivor has been discontinued and replaced with a private label program on the re-tool to switch from the old technology of lead acid to our newly developed lithium-ion product suite This portable product suite includes the long-lasting Lithium-ion chemistry in a 2.5kWh and a 1.25kWh both of which became available to the Market at the end of May 2014.
Beyond the change to the industry leading technology of Lithium-ion battery system, our new generation of products have all been ergonomically redesigned to feature a customized metallic or Pelican case with two inline wheels and telescoping handle that provide users extra easy mobility and our 75kWh utilizes our own in-house developed, patent-pending Battery Management System (BMS) technology.

Suppliers and Manufacturers
In May 2014 IDS Charge! Energy Storage, Inc. (Charge!) has entered into a contract manufacturing and marketing agreement with Ultralife Corporation (NASDAQ:ULBI) for the Charge! Energy branded line of portable and stationary power systems. Charge! Energy Storage Inc has a suite of 5 different products through this business partnership.
Plans to enter into an agreement utilizing the efforts of a call center to begin to promote the Charge! Energy Storage solar generator product suite were delayed until July. The call center will be mandated to create specific portable product sales opportunities in niche portable product markets
Our patent pending Battery Management System technology, known as project Eclipse, is presently focused on the 12V system for the portable product suite and presently in a beta test stage with an electronics specialist (independent contractor).
This technology would first launch in our in house design and build as a price point sensitive .75kWh unit and has nearly completed its re-design. It was slated for production in June 2014 but has been postponed until the fall of 2014 so to allow focus on the sales development of the two larger units in our product suite.
Expansion and Development Plan
Our portable and stationary energy producing and storage products will be marketed through our developed distributor channels nationwide. Our strategy includes initially building an independent dealer base throughout the U.S. for which we already have over thirty-five dealers signed up.
In April 2014 we signed a one year consulting agreements with a team of reputable sales & marketing experts who are defining market opportunity for quickly maturing eastern seaboard, most notably New Jersey and New York. This developmental market work will be in both the Portable and Stationary energy storage markets.
This will be augmented with the recent partnership of a call center focused on targeted niche markets that we believe will be readily receptive to our product line, including the off-road vehicle community and hiking, RV, camping, boating and other recreational activities where a clean, quiet and portable electrical energy supply is needed in a remote or off-grid location. Other potential marketplaces include first responders and others that provide disaster relief or emergency services and the cannabis and hemp industries. Many consumers and businesses cannot utilize fossil-fuel based solutions. With our product line, they will have a choice for safe and “green” electricity from solar power generation and our energy storage products.
In addition to our portable solar power business, we have launched a consulting for Program Management and performance improvement in manufacturing, services, logistics and quality systems. On February 6, 2014, our newly-formed subsidiary, Propel Management Group, Inc., entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Californians for Marijuana Legalization and Control (CMLC). Under the Agreement, we will be responsible for overseeing a fundraising effort through telemarketing, e-mail and online to support passage in California of the proposed Marijuana Control, Legalization, and Revenue Act of 2014. In addition, we shall coordinate the gathering of 800,000 signatures on petitions to place the proposed Act on the November ballot in California. We are to be compensated at a rate of $2.75 per petition signature gathered before March 24, 2014 and $3.75 per signature gathered thereafter. In addition, we shall be compensated at a rate of 80% of all contributions generated up to $100,000, 60% of the second $100,000 in contributions, and 43% of contributions generated thereafter.
In mid-April 2014 CMLC made a decision to postpone the pursuit of the target of 800,000 signatures by April 24, 2014 to qualify the proposed Act for the California ballot for November 2014. Instead they will focus on the higher volume and younger age turnout that is associated with the Presidential election terms like this next November 2016 elections.

On March 31, Propel Management Group (PMG) with Aja Cannafacturing (AJA), to develop and launch one of the first licensed medical marijuana processors in the state of Nevada. Upon the successful licensing and launch of the facility it is under consideration that AJA would become a subsidiary of IDST as a term of the contract. If the signing of this agreement proceeds, PMG would discontinuedin pursuing the acquisition of MiCannaLabs.com which was publicly announced on March 11, 2014.

(Update): Given the short window of time for application submission and the exorbitant cost the IDST Board decided to not pursue licensing in Clark County at this time however, we will continue to pursue such opportunities as they arise in other NV Counties. Furthermore it is still the intention of IDS Industries to advance further in to the Medicinal Indoor Growers Market through acquiring & distributing advanced technology and equipment to the industry.
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended May 31, 2014 compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2013.
Revenue
During the three months ended May 31, 2014, revenue was $12,839 compared to $17,899 for the three months ended May 31, 2013. There were no sales for the parent company IDS Industries in the current quarter because we discontinued production of lead acid products. As a renewable focused-company it became apparent that lead acid technology did not align with our company mission. More compelling was that lead acid performance was inferior and not robust enough to support our requirements for portable generators. This also allowed us to focus all resources on expediting the transformation to Lithium-ion technologies. The $12,839 of revenue was generated by our new subsidiary Propel Management Group, Inc.
Operating Expenses
Professional fees for the three months ended May 31, 2014 were $14,804, as compared to $17,054 for the three months ended May 31, 2013, a decrease of $2,250 or 13%. Professional fees mainly consist of legal, auditor and other fees associated with the Company’s quarterly filings and year end audit. The decrease in the current period is attributed to a decrease in legal fees that were incurred.
Stock based compensation was $50,730 for the three months ended May 31, 2014, as compared to $0 for the three months ended May 31, 2013. This non-cash compensation expense consisted of stock issued for various consulting and marketing services.
Salaries and wage expense for the three months ended May 31, 2014 increased $22,310 or 28% to $55,021, as compared to $77,331 for the prior comparable period.
Marketing and advertising expense for the three months ended May 31, 2014 was $3,441, as compared to $0 for the three months ended May 31, 2013. The increase is in conjunction with marketing our new products.
General and administrative expense for the three months ended May 31, 2014 decreased $44,163 to $78,934 as compared to $194,506 for the prior comparable period.
Overall there was an $85,961 decrease in operating expenses for the comparable periods ended May 31.
Other income and expense
During the three months ended May 31, 2014 we incurred $123,289 of expense for amortization of debt discount and had a gain on the change in fair value of our derivative liability of $924,095, neither of which we had in the prior year. These new gains and losses are a result of the derivative accounting required for the issuance of convertible debt. We also had an increase in interest expense of $12,602 to $22,449 from $9,847 in the prior period and had an increase in interest income of $757.
Net Loss
Overall we recorded a net gain of $258,510 for the three months ended May 31, 2014, as compared to a net loss of $307,561 for the three months ended May 31, 2013, an increase of $566,071. The gain for the three months is solely attributed to the gain in derivative liability.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended May 31, 2014 compared to the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2013.
Revenue
IDS Industries was a pre-revenue status for Q1 2014 as it migrated away from the lead acid technology and developed Lithium-ion chemistry products. During this emergence and development phase Propel Management Group Inc., was launched to raise revenues via providing services with existing core competencies within its existing staff. During the nine months ended May 31, 2014, revenue was $16,213 compared to $34,729 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013. There were no sales for the parent company IDS Industries in the current period because we discontinued production of lead acid products. As a renewable focused-company it became apparent that lead acid technology did not align with our company mission. More compelling was that lead acid performance was inferior and not robust enough to support our requirements for portable generators. This also allowed us to focus all resources on expediting the transformation to Lithium-ion technologies. The $16,213 of revenue was generated by our new subsidiary Propel Management Group, Inc.
Operating Expenses
Professional fees for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 were $60,387, as compared to $96,103 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013, a decrease of $35,716 or 37%. Professional fees mainly consist of legal, auditor and other fees associated with the Company’s quarterly filings and year end audit. The decrease in the current period is attributed to a decrease in legal fees that were incurred.
Stock based compensation was $174,790 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014, as compared to $0 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013. This non-cash compensation expense consisted of stock issued for various consulting and marketing services as well as stock valued at $81,250 for shares issued to the CEO.
Salaries and wage expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 increased $65,373 or 35% to $250,308, as compared to $184,935 for the prior comparable period. The trend is now tracking at lower than previous YTD trends with recent re-structuring in Operations, Engineering and Finance.
Marketing and advertising expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 was $41,176, as compared to $0 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013. The increase is in conjunction with marketing our new products.
General and administrative expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 decreased $568,250 to $123,097, as compared to $691,347 for the prior comparable period. In the prior period we had accounted for stock based compensation in G&A expense. We have since changed our policy and now account for stock based compensation in its own separate account.
Overall there was a $322,627 decrease in operating expenses for the comparable period ended May 31, 2013 as a result of restructuring by the Company.
Other income and expense
During the nine months ended May 31, 2014 we incurred $304,035 of expense for amortization of debt discount and had a gain on the change in fair value of our derivative liability of $574,743, neither of which we had in the prior year. These new gains and losses are a result of the derivative accounting required for the issuance of convertible debt. We also had an increase in interest expense of $42,836 to $58,551 from $15,715 in the prior period and had an increase interest income of $4,317.
Net Loss
Overall we recorded a net loss of $1,004,563 for the nine months ended May 31, 2014, as compared to a net loss of $1,017,472 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013.
As we go forward with the development of our portable solar generator business during the current fiscal year, we expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase and that we will also begin to generate increasing revenues from the sale of our products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,416,176 and a working capital deficit of $1,033,944. For the nine months ended May 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $363,380 and we received $350,450 from financing activities.
We have received short term loan financing to fund operations under various promissory notes. Our promissory note obligations currently issued and outstanding are as follows:
We owe the principal sum of $100,000 to Steven J. Caspi under the terms of a Forbearance Agreement issued March 10, 2014 which modified the terms of the original Convertible Promissory Note and Security Agreement (the “Note”) issued November 19, 2012. The Forbearance Agreement bears interest at an annual rate of five percent (5%), with all principal and interest being due on or before November 30, 2014. The Note is convertible to shares of our common stock, in whole or in part at the option of Mr. Caspi, at a conversion price of $0.005 per share. As of May 31, 2014, this note is still outstanding and has accrued interest of $9,411.
On May 31, 2013, the Company’s former CEO, Bruce Knoblich and the Company executed a promissory note for $289,998, $2,150 of which has been repaid. The note bears interest at 5% and was due November 30, 2013. As of November 30, 2013 the due date on the note was extended with no specific terms. Total accrued interest on the note is $17,885.
On June 19, 2013, we entered into a Promissory Note (the “Note”) with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”). The nominal principal sum of the Note is $300,000 with an original issue discount of ten percent (10%). Upon closing, JMJ loaned the Company the sum of $55,000 under the Note, with any additional advances up to the total principal sum to be made in the future and at the sole discretion of JMJ. All unpaid principal and interest due under the Note must be paid within one (1) year of the effective date of each advance made by JMJ under the Note. As of May 31, 2014, the total principal and interest due under this note is $85,022.
We have received financing under a series of Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) issued to Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”). The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 8%, with principal and interest coming due approximately nine months from the respective dates of issue. The Notes may be converted in whole or in part, at the option of the holder, to shares of our common stock, par value $0.001, at any time following 180 days after the issuance dates of the Notes. The conversion price under the Note is 51% of the Market Price of our common stock on the conversion dates. For purposes of the Notes, “Market Price” is defined as the average of the 3 lowest closing prices for our common stock on the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion dates. As of May 31, 2014, the total principal and interest due under these notes is $73,000 and $1,376, respectively.
On January 22, 2014, we obtained short term financing from Finiks Capital, LLC under a Promissory Note in the amount of $100,000 (the “Note”). The Note features an original issue discount of ten percent (10%) and has a face amount of $100,000. We will initially receive $20,000 from the Lender and will receive additional funds at the Lender’s sole discretion. The Note accrues no interest if the principal sum due is repaid within ninety days. The Note incurs interest one time at a rate of ten percent (10%) on the principal sum due, with all principal and interest due in full on the maturity date of one hundred eighty days from the date of issue. At any time, the Note may be converted, in whole or in part at the option of the holder, at a price per share of fifty-one percent (51%) of the average of the three lowest bid side prices in the ten trading days previous to the conversion. As of May 31, 2014, the total principal and interest due under this note is $48,400.
We have received financing under a series of Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) issued to KBM Worldwide, Inc. (“KBM”). The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 8%, with principal and interest coming due approximately nine months from the respective dates of issue. The Notes may be converted in whole or in part, at the option of the holder, to shares of our common stock, par value $0.001, at any time following 180 days after the issuance dates of the Notes. The conversion price under the Note is 51% of the Market Price of our common stock on the conversion dates. For purposes of the Notes, “Market Price” is defined as the average of the 3 lowest closing prices for our common stock on the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion dates. As of May 31, 2014, the total principal and interest due under these notes is $106,000 and $1,162, respectively.
On March 5, 2014, the Company executed a Convertible Promissory Note (the “note”) with Black Mountain Equities, Inc. (“Black Mountain”). The nominal principal sum of the Note is $250,000, with an original issue discount of ten percent (10%). The note matures one year from the effective date of each payment, which is made at the sole discretion of Black Mountain. The Note is convertible into common stock in whole or in part at a variable conversion price equal to the lessor of $0.025 or a 60% discount to the lowest trade price in the twenty five trading days prior to conversion. The Company received its first payment towards the loan of $25,000. As of May 31, 2014, the total principal and interest due under these notes is $27,500 and $2,750, respectively.
We will require significant additional financing in order to move forward effectively with the development of our new portable solar power generator business and our battery management and charge controller products line. We intend to fund the development of our new business through debt and/or equity financing arrangements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, in amounts sufficient to fund our planned acquisitions and other activities, or at all.

Going Concern
As discussed in the notes to our financial statements, we have minimal revenue and an accumulated deficit of $2,416,176. This has raised substantial doubt for our auditors about our ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.
Our activities to date have been supported by equity and debt financing. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of May 31, 2014, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Currently, we do not believe that any accounting policies fit this definition.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of November 30, 2013. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended May 31, 2014.
Management determined that the material weaknesses that resulted in controls being ineffective are primarily due to lack of resources and number of employees. Material weaknesses exist in the segregation of duties required for effective controls and various reconciliation and control procedures not regularly performed due to the lack of staff and resources.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Effective December 1, 2013, Pamela McKeown resigned as our Chief Financial Officer. Going forward, our current President and CEO, Scott Plantinga, will also serve as our Chief Financial Officer. Ms. McKeown will continue to serve the company as Controller.
