Overview
Our predecessor-in-interest, Flower Turbines, LLC, was formed as a New York limited liability company on September 15, 2013, and converted into Flower Turbines, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on December 27, 2019. Our headquarters are in Lawrence, New York. We develop and manufacture wind turbines.
On March 27, 2019, we formed Flower Turbines B.V., a Netherlands company, to sell, install, and develop sustainable energy solutions in the European Union. In January 2020, we extended our business into the electric mobility vertical through Flower Turbines B.V.’s acquisition of a product line of charging stations, which include stationary poles, outdoor benches, and workstations, which can charge electric vehicles and other products such as mobile phones. The charging stations generate power through wind, solar, and grid energy. We intend to outfit these charging stations with our wind turbines.

Other Income/Expenses
For the 2020 Annual Period, we had total other income and expenses of -$4,950, compared to other income and expense of $15,390 for the 2019 Annual Period. The higher income during the 2019 Annual Period resulted from a $16,913 gain we received from the sale of shares of Flower Turbines B.V.

For the 2020 Annual Period we had a net loss of $1,118,243, compared to a net loss of $530,157 for the 2019 Annual Period. The increase in net loss during 2020, is primarily a result of increased operating expenses and research and development expenses during 2020 as we expanded our operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have raised over $4,400,000 through various securities offerings, which we have used for operations, including, approximately $2,100,000 from Regulation CF Campaigns, and approximately $2,300,000 we have raised in our current Regulation A+ offering. As of December 31, 2020, we had $50,251 in cash, compared to $266,596 as of December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, and excluding any future proceeds raised in our current Regulation A+ offering, we had sufficient operating capital to fund our operations through December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2020, we had total liabilities in the amount of $275,417 compared to $94,252 in total liabilities as of December 31, 2019. The increase in total liabilities, primarily resulted from an increase in our accounts payables and the Note payable from the incurrence of $56,135 in debt pursuant to our loan with Rabo Bank, and accounts payable resulting from operating our business.
We will incur significant additional costs in commercializing our products, including, but not limited to, in production, marketing, sales and customer service, and intend to continue to fund our operations through funds received from this Offering. We may also engage in additional debt and/or equity financings as determined to be necessary. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Accordingly, our independent auditors report includes a paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern

This first advance was in the amount of $28,068, bears interest at 7.5% per annum, and requires monthly interest payments for 84 months with a final balloon payment on the maturity date. The second advance was in the amount of $28,067, bears interest at 7.5% per annum, requires interest only payments for the first 24 months, principal and interest payments of $468 for the next 60 months, with a final balloon payment on maturity date. Interest expenses for these loans totaled $_ for the year ending December 31, 2020, and the total unpaid principal balances on the loans were $_ as of December 31, 2020.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Flower Turbines, Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Flower Turbines, Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in Note 3 of the financial statements, the Company has not generated profit, has negative cash flows from operations, and is reliant on third-party financing to fund operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
