Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
October 31, 2009
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and Rule 8.03 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009 as filed with the Commission on November 13, 2009.
Note 2. Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by ASC 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods presented, common stock equivalents were not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Note 3. Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has experienced losses from operations as a result of its investment necessary to achieve its operating plan, which is long-range in nature. For the three months ended October 31, 2009 the Company had a net loss of ($60,499) and had working capital and stockholders' deficits of ($695,479) and ($669,870), respectively. In addition, the Company has no revenue producing operations.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure financing and attain profitable operations. In addition, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered in a highly regulated industry.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 5. Licensing Agreements
On April 2, 2004, and as modified on October 30, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement with a group of investors, to provide for the construction of three tire recycling plants to be built in Mexico. During the year ended July 31, 2005, the Company received a non-refundable deposit of $180,000, which was originally recorded as deferred revenue. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company was to receive a payment of $500,000. $300,000 was to be credited to licensing fees, ($100,000 for each of the three initial recycling plants), and the remaining $200,000 for an exclusive right to license the Titan technology in Mexico. The original Agreement was extended from September 30, 2004 to March 31, 2005, whereupon it was terminated effective March 31, 2005, due to non-performance by the licensee. As more fully discussed below, the $180,000 previously paid to Titan under this agreement was recognized as revenue, and credit has been given to the successor investor, PPT Holding, Ltd. ("PPT"), in this amount.
Titan Technologies, Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
October 31, 2009
Effective February 9, 2006, the Registrant executed a License Agreement with PPT, a Texas Limited Partnership and successor to the investor group discussed above, for the exclusive right to build recycling facilities in Mexico, utilizing Titan’s patented tire recycling technology (the “Mexican License”). The Agreement provides for the initial construction of three facilities within three years, commencing initially on or about September 15, 2006, which date has been verbally extended to the date on which PPT has obtained the necessary building permit for its first plant in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and has secured sufficient financing to commence construction of the plant. PPT has obtained the building permit for the first plant, but has not secured sufficient financing to commence construction. Upon commencement of the construction of the first plant, PPT will become obligated to pay Titan an initial installment of $300,000 of the remaining $900,000 for the license fee for the first plant. The Agreement also calls for a $200,000 payment for the exclusive license, for PPT to utilize Titan's tire recycling technology in Mexico, which amount has been previously received, as stated above.
The Mexican License provides for a $1,000,000 license fee for each plant, payable as follows: (i) a deposit of $100,000 paid by April 30, 2006; (ii) $300,000 payable upon commencement of construction; (iii) $300,000 upon completion of construction; and (iv) $300,000 upon reaching full capacity. During the year ended July 31, 2006, PPT and its predecessor paid Titan $320,000, and PPT received credit for the $180,000 previously paid by its predecessor. Therefore, the total initial $500,000 requirement, including the $300,000 deposit for the first three plants as well as $200,000 for the exclusive license for the Republic of Mexico, has been satisfied. An additional $50,000 was received during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. Another $150,000 was received during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, which is included in deferred revenue. Since construction has not yet commenced, the balance of the deposit of $520,000 is presented as deferred revenue at October 31, 2009.
The Mexican License further provides that Licensee will pay Titan royalty payments equal to $4.00 per ton of tires processed in the recycling plants in Mexico after full capacity is reached. Failure by PPT to make the required royalty payments for first three plants could result in Titan terminating the License Agreement and loss of the exclusive license for Mexico and all monies paid to date by PPT and its predecessor.
Additionally, Titan has agreed to purchase a seven percent (7%) ownership interest in PPT for $100,000, of which $75,000 was paid during fiscal 2005 pursuant to previous agreements that were subsequently deemed void. Titan has been given credit for its previous payments, towards the purchase of its investment in PPT. Since PPT is in the organizational stages, the final $25,000 paid in fiscal 2006 is presented as a deposit at October 31, 2009 and is included in other assets in the accompanying financial statements.
Titan Technologies, Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
October 31, 2009
Effective August 23, 2006, the Company entered into another licensing agreement with an unrelated investor group, Ally Investments, LLC (“Ally”), for the use of Titan's recycling patents and technology within the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma, and received a non-refundable deposit in the amount of $100,000, which amount was included in deferred revenue at July 31, 2008. The licensing fee agreement provided for a licensing fee for each plant of $1,600,000 upon securing both a construction site and construction financing, and production royalties of 1.5% of gross revenues derived from the sale of all products generated using Titan technology, upon reaching full capacity.
On December 12, 2007, the Company and Ally entered into a Second Amendment to License Agreement that modified the original License Agreement in the following respects: |
1. | The Territory was expanded from the four states to the entire United States. |
| |
2. | The license fee of $1,600,000 and the royalty payment of 1.5% of all products produced was amended to a Ten (10%) percent membership interest in each of the single purpose entities formed to own and operate each plant beyond the first plant (the second and each subsequent plant) |
. | |
3. | The obligation to pay the initial license fee for the first plant of $1,600,000 remains unchanged, but the obligation to commence construction of the first plant, as amended on February 23, 2007, to commence, on or before December 31, 2007, and be in operation, no later that December 31, 2008 was modified to require that construction of the first plant commence when (i) government agencies have granted construction approval and (ii) Ally has obtained financing to build the first plant. As of October 31, 2009, construction had not commenced. |
| |
4. | The termination of the Exclusive License was also modified to provide that the exclusive license for the U.S. will terminate if Ally should fail to commence to obtain a permit and prepare a feasibility study for the next plant within twelve (12) months after the previous plant has reached full capacity. |
Also on December 12, 2007, the Registrant and Ally entered into a Memorandum of Understanding regarding Plastics Scrap, including but not limited to the following terms:
1. | The grant of an exclusive license for Titan's Technology and patents for the recycling of scrap electronics throughout the United States. |
| |
2. | A license fee of $500,000 each to the Registrant and Adherent Technologies, upon Ally securing sufficient funding and government approvals to commence construction of the first plastics recycling plant. |
| |
3. | The grant to the Registrant of a ten (10%) percent ownership in each entity established to own and operate a plastics recycling plant anywhere in the U.S. |
Titan Technologies, Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
October 31, 2009
4. | A research and development time table for testing a sample of constituent materials and development of a plastics recycling plant in the U.S. |
5. | A commitment by Ally to fund and commence construction of the first plastics recycling plant in the U.S. within four years after delivery of the first sample of test material by Ally to Titan. |
This agreement expired on December 31, 2008 and the non-refundable deposit of $100,000 was recognized as income. On September 30, 2009, an agreement was reached to reinstate the terms of the original contract with a termination date of September 30, 2010. Note 6. Subsequent Events The Company evaluated all events subsequent to the balance sheet date of October 31, 2009, through the date of issuance of these financial statements and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require disclosure. |
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The following narrative describes the financial condition of Titan Technologies, Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”) at October 31, 2009 and compares it to our financial condition at fiscal year end July 31, 2009. It also discusses our results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, including the audited financial statements and notes included therein. The financial statements included in this report, including our balance sheet at October 31, 2009, the statements of income for the three months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 and our statements of cash flows for the three months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, are unaudited.
Results of Operations
As a result of activities by management, general and administrative expense decreased by $5,034 to $59,384 for the three months ended October 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2008.
As a result of activities by management, outside services expense decreased by $19,735 to $1,115 for the three months ended October 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity increased in the three months ended October 31, 2009, as cash increased by $3,618 since July 31, 2009. Operations used $18,382 compared to the same period of the prior year in which operations provided $4,773. Proceeds from the sale of common stock were $22,000 during the three months ended October 31, 2009 compared to $15,000 for the same period in 2008.
Future financing activities of the Company include primarily the sale of common stock. The Company does not solicit purchasers of its common stock but believes past experience demonstrates that there will be sufficient unsolicited purchases of common stock to sustain the Company's cash flow needs, especially in light of the expected revenue form licensing activities in the future.
Management has taken the following steps in the past and will consider taking them again, if necessary, to address the financial and operating condition of the Company which it believes will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence:
- Improve marketing efforts for recycling plants and bring plastics recycling technology and coal gasification to a marketable product. |
- Reduce operating and administrative expenses, and issue stock and notes payable, where possible for payment of expenses. |
- | Defer payment of officer’s salaries, if required. |
Management believes that these steps, if taken, will allow the Registrant to continue as a going concern together with results of on going efforts to raise working capital through licensing agreements, and joint ventures. However, there are significant risks associated with the Registrant's business development and there can be no assurance that its efforts will be successful or that it will be able to raise sufficient working capital to survive as a going concern.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALIITATIAVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
Not applicable
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. |
Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is 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 by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer haves concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2009.
It should be noted that any system of internal controls, however well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
| (b) Changes in Internal Controls. |
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date that occurred in the most recent fiscal quarter, that have materially affected or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our management team will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting throughout the year.
