ECO-SHIFT POWER CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 (UNAUDITED)
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Eco-Shift Power Corp. (“Eco-Shift Canada”, or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 15, 2008 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Eco-Shift Canada is primarily engaged in developing, selling and distributing electrical lighting products.
Eco-Shift Power Corp. (formerly Simplepons, Inc. or “Simplepons”) was a Delaware corporation formed on February 7, 2011. Simplepons was in the business of the sale of coupon books and was developing a mobile coupon subscription that solves the problem of leaving your coupons at home. On February 5, 2013, Simplepons completed a reverse merger and subsequently the board of directors (the “Board”) ceased the then existing coupon subscription business.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and historical operations of both Eco-Shift Canada and Simplepons as one entity.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in a current report on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 8, 2014.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. Notes to the Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 as included in the current report on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 8, 2014 have been omitted.
3. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated 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 since inception that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. Management anticipates the Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through continued business development and additional equity investment in the Company. Management is pursuing various sources of financing. In the event the Company is not able to raise the necessary equity financing, the Company intends to seek stockholder loans or debt financing, as needed, until profitable operations are attained.
The unaudited interim consolidated 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.
Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10 which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Basic and diluted losses per share were the same at the reporting dates as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding at September 30, 2014 and 2013. All outstanding warrants and options have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share and are therefore excluded from the determination of the diluted loss per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Inventory
Inventory, which comprises of electrical lighting materials and supplies, is valued at the lower of cost and market value, with cost being determined on a weighted average basis. The cost of inventory includes purchase price, freight, custom duties and other delivery expenses. Market for materials and supplies is net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less any applicable variable selling costs.
The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventory on a regular basis, taking into account such factors as historical and anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand and the price the Company expects to obtain for products in the market compared with historical cost.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and convertible debt. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund its business needs, including convertible debt and warrants. The Company reviews its warrants and conversion features of securities issued as to whether they are freestanding or contain an embedded derivative and, if so, whether they are classified as a liability at each reporting period until the amount is settled and reclassified into equity with changes in fair value recognized in current earnings. At September 30, 2014, the Company had convertible debts and warrants to purchase common stock, the fair values of which are classified as a liability. Some of these units have embedded conversion features that are treated as a discount on the notes. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Inputs used in the valuation to derive fair value are classified based on a fair value hierarchy which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:
Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with the convertible debt and warrants to purchase common stock (discussed above). The Company classifies the fair value of these convertible notes and warrants under level three.

(Expressed in United States Dollars)
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for federal and state income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Upon inception, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), superseded by ASC 740-10. The Company did not recognize a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit as of the date of adoption. The Company did not recognize interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other operating expenses.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted do not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
5. RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash represented cash which was held in a trust account and was available subject to approval from certain investors.
6. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PAYABLE
Pursuant to the Company’s private placement completed during the year ended December 31, 2012 in the gross amount of $370,000, purchasers (the “Holders”) are entitled to liquidated damages if a registration statement covering the resale of the 1,480,000 shares of common stock sold under the private placement (the “Registrable Securities”) is not filed within 60 days of the termination date of the private placement on May 15, 2012 and declared effective within 150 days of the termination date. The Company shall make pro rata payments to each Holder, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Holder (based upon the number of Registrable Securities then owned by such Holder) for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been filed or effective (the “Blackout Period”).
Such payments can be made in cash or shares of common stock with the fair market value on the date of issuance and shall constitute the Holder’s exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect the right of the Holder to seek injunctive relief. The amounts payable as liquidated damages shall be paid monthly within ten (10) business days of the last day of each month following the commencement of the Blackout Period until the termination of the Blackout Period. Such payments shall be made to each holder at the sole option of the Company in either cash or shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has accrued liquidated damages payable in the amount of $70,300.

7. PROVISION FOR A CONTINGENT LIABILITY
The Company has been named as a co-defendant in a claim by a customer, who is seeking damages of $10,000,000 CAD ($8,922,000) and return of a deposit of $150,000 CAD ($133,830) which was received by the Company under a Value-Added Reseller arrangement. The Company has filed a counterclaim against the customer for damages of $9,548,560 CAD ($8,519,225) resulting from the plaintiff’s breach of contract plus punitive damages of $1,000,000 CAD ($892,200) for negligence and loss of business reputation. Management of the company believes these claims are without merit and has accrued $150,000 CAD ($133,830) in the consolidated financial statements in regards to this claim, as management believes this represents a reasonable estimate of the amount the Company may ultimately be required to pay.
8. ADVANCES FROM SHAREHOLDERS
The advances from shareholders are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

a) | Eco-Shift Scientific convertible notes |
On June 17 and July 3, 2013, the Company entered into two 10% convertible promissory notes with Eco-Shift Scientific Inc. amounting to $179,688 ($201,750 CAD). These two notes were due on June 17, 2014 and July 3, 2014, respectively. Prior to the maturity date, the holder has the option to convert the principle and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share. The Company is in the process of formalizing arrangements with these note holders to extend the term by one more year. These notes were tainted due to issuance of other notes and the embedded conversion feature in these notes have been accounted for as a derivative liability due to the variable conversion provision and full reset conversion price feature based on guidance in ASC 820 and EITF 07-05 (See note 10).
These notes have been issued to an associated company (a related party as one of the shareholder of “E”-Shift Scientific Inc. is a close family member of the shareholder of the Company).

9. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (continued)
b) | Other convertible notes |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, pursuant to various subscription agreements the Company issued convertible promissory notes (“Tainted Promissory Notes”) to investors and issued warrants to acquire additional shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20-$0.25 per share (the “Q3 2014 Tainted Warrant”). These convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum, subject to a default rate at 12% per annum, and mature on the one-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The notes may be pre-paid at any time at the option of the Company. The unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest are convertible at any time before prepayment in full or the maturity date, at the option of the note holder, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.15 per share. The Warrants have three-year terms and provide for standard adjustment of the exercise price and shares. The Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, on any day after the issuance of the Warrant. If at the time of exercise of the Warrant, a registration statement for the resale of the Warrant Shares is not effective, then the Investor has a cashless exercise right. These Warrants are tainted derivative liabilities as a result of the JSJ note issued on April 7, 2014.
c) | JSJ Investments convertible notes |
On April 7, 2014 and June 10, 2014, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the principal amounts of $100,000 each to JSJ Investments (“Holder”). These notes bear interest at 12% per annum and have a six-month term. The note is pre-payable at any time by the Company, subject to payment of a redemption premium of 125% in lieu of principal and interest otherwise payable. The note is also convertible by the holder into shares of common stock of the Company at a 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trades on the previous ten trading days before conversion. The note may be converted in two tranches of $50,000 plus interest, or 4.99% of the then current issued and outstanding number of shares of common stock of the Company, whichever is lower.
Following is an analysis of these convertible debts:
Gross amount received – contractual balance | $ | 200,000 | ||
Net proceeds | $ | 200,000 |
September 30, 2014 | ||||
Contractual balance | $ | 200,000 | ||
Less unamortized discount | (190,175 | ) | ||
Convertible debt | $ | 9,825 |
The embedded conversion feature in the Note has been accounted for as a derivative liability due to the variable conversion provision and full reset conversion price feature based on guidance in ASC 820 and EITF 07-05 (See note 10).
Interest expense recognized on these convertible notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounts to $13,076 and $22,172, respectively (2013 - $2,560 and $2,945, respectively).

10. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Pursuant to various purchase agreements, the Company sold to investors and issued warrants to acquire up to 7,766,075 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise prices of $1.00; $0.50; and $0.25 per share (the “Tainted Warrant”). These warrants have three-year terms and provide for standard adjustment of the exercise price and shares. The warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, on any day after the issuance of the warrant. If at the time of exercise of the warrant, a registration statement for the resale of the warrant shares is not effective, then the Investor has a cashless exercise right. These Warrants are tainted derivative liabilities as a result of the JSJ note issued on April 7, 2014.
The embedded conversion feature in the Notes and Warrants should be accounted for as a derivative liability due to the variable conversion provision and full reset conversion price feature in the JSJ Notes based on guidance in ASC 820 and EITF 07-05.
In summary, the derivative valuations for the period ending September 30, 2014 are:
Description | Convertible Notes | Warrant Liabilities | Total | |||||||||

Fair value at September 30, 2014 | $ | 733,178 | $ | 576,503 | $ | 1,309,681 |
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2014 amounts to $400,520 and $729,140, respectively (2013 - $nil and $nil, respectively)

● | Volatility based on the company’s historical volatility (ranging from 219% on June 30, 2014 to 173% on September 30, 2014); | |
● | Dividend yield of 0%; | |
● | Maturity dates based on the instrument terms; and | |
● | Underlying stock price as quoted on NASDAQ ($0.39 on June 30, 2014 and $0.315 on September 30, 2014). |

Plan of Operation
The Company is focused on the continued execution of a strategic plan aimed at increasing shareholder value. Operations are focus on three key revenue streams, which include low-cost LED high bay lighting, wireless light management systems, and software platforms for demand management and automated demand response. Operations will continue to maintain a focus on lighting retrofit projects and expand to include Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) functions.
Operations in Q3 2014 remained focused on the final phases of product and software commercialization. Company resources have been directed to product development in order to expedite the timelines for commercial launch of new products which are anticipated to gain significant market share. Beginning in Q3 2014, changes to operations occurred as the company started to market products as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The Company forecasts significant sales growth in Q4 2014 based on expectations for the new low-cost high bay LED products, the Wireless Light Management System, and a focus on revenue growth via strategic acquisitions. In Q4, the Company plans to hire additional staff in step with revenue increases including OEM sales staff that will be focused on national electrical supply companies and national electrical contractors in both the US and Canada. The Company will continue to focus on the lighting retrofit market with existing sales staff.
Operations to Focus on Three High-Growth Revenue Streams:
A key focus of operations for remainder of 2014 is the commercial launch of the Company’s LED high bay that is expected to have one of the lowest MSRP’s available on the North American market. The Company is preparing operations for significant sales given that the LED high bay will be competitively priced with legacy technologies, offering significant energy savings for clients at comparable capital cost. Operations will be refocused to ensure that the Company can manage high volume sales as an OEM. Operations will also be focused on the back-office components of the Wireless Light Management System for the remainder of 2014. Investments will be made in a new high-speed fiber optic line, cloud-based servers, and technical staff. The Company will be making additional investments in the functionality of the Virtual Power Plant Platform through Q4 2014 and the first half of 2015. These investments will be based on lessons learned from the Ontario Demand Response Market. The Company plans to participate in the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) Pilot Program which is tentatively planned for early 2015. The Pilot Program will give the Company an opportunity to refine the Virtual Power Plant Platform prior to launching into Demand Response markets throughout North America. The Company will continue to offer the Predictive Peak Demand Forecasting service, which will eventually be aligned with the Virtual Power Plant Platform.
3 | P a g e |
Strategic Acquisitions & Partnerships:
The Company will have a continued focus on Strategic Acquisitions and Partnerships throughout the remainder of 2014 and into 2015. The Letter of Intent signed with Sharp Manufacturing USA in Q2 2014 is representative of the strategy to align with Strategic Partners to accelerate the launch of OEM LED products into the market. The Company will also continue with the retrofit program for auto dealerships such as the LAR Auto Dealer program. Strategic corporate acquisitions will play an increasing importance to Company growth plans in Q4 2014 and throughout 2015. In addition to increased revenue and market penetration for its OEM products and Radium Light Management platform, the company anticipates that a focus on Strategic Acquisitions will also add experienced technical and executive level employees who will be able to assist in the driving the implementation of the Company business strategy into 2015.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS
Comparison of Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Revenue
Revenue decreased by $974,837 to $77,375 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $1,052,212 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Revenue decreased by $907,987 to $451,335 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $1,359,322 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The overall decrease in revenue in both the periods in 2014 as compared to 2013 were mainly due to our focus in 2014 on the final phases of product and software commercialization. The Company forecasts significant sales growth in Q4 2014 based on expectations for the new low-cost high bay LED products, the Wireless Light Management System, and a focus on revenue growth via strategic acquisitions.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $126,210 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $682,339 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $556,129 from the prior period.
The Company experienced a gross loss of $48,835 during the three months ended September 30, 2014. This was predominately due to delays in the commercial launch of the Company’s High Bay LED product which necessitated the use of a competitors LED product to complete projects for the third quarter where High Bay LED fixtures were specified. The Company’s High Bay commercial launch delays were the result of additional design work that focused on reducing manufacturing costs as well as improving the functionality of the Company’s High Bay LED. One such design change example was the switch from ANT-based to ZigBee–based wireless communications protocol which Management believes will save significant R&D costs in the future as well as result in a broader client base due to the prevalence of ZigBee protocol in existing Building Automation and Industrial Control applications.
Cost of goods sold was $265,723 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $798,111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $532,388 from the prior period. The decrease in cost of goods sold for this period was almost in line with the decrease in revenues.
Expenses
Overall expenses decreased to $408,946 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $465,117 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease is primarily due to fair value gain on derivative liabilities of $400,520 and decrease in salaries and benefits by $39,481, offset by increase in legal and professional fee by $287,495, increase in stock compensation expense by $76,973 and increase in interest and bank charges by $10,041.
Overall expenses increased to $2,680,064 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $1,880,060 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to increase in legal and professional fees by $1,726,257 and interest and bank charges by $212,696, respectively. These were partially offset by fair value gain on derivative liabilities of $729,140 and absence of extinguishment loss on modification of $539,505.
4 | P a g e |
Increase in legal and professional expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 mainly represented:
● | In April 2014, the Company engaged a third party consultant to provide certain business consulting services for a term of one year and issued 1,300,000 shares of common stock as compensation for such services. These shares were valued at $0.45 per common stock and $585,000 was recorded as prepaid expenses to be amortized over a term of one year. Accordingly, the Company recorded $146,250 as professional charges in the statement of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2014; and | |
● | In April 2014, the Company agreed to settle certain claims for consulting services provided by a third party through issuance of 2,500,000 shares of common stock. These shares were valued at $0.45 per common stock and $1,125,000 was recorded as professional charges in the statement of operations. |
Increase in interest and bank charges represented mainly recording of interest/accretion expense of $352,921 in connection with the valuation of convertible notes and derivative warrants.
The Company also recorded change in fair value gain for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2014 amounting to $400,520 and $729,140, respectively, in connection with the valuation of convertible notes and derivative warrants.
Net loss.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred a net loss of $457,781 as compared to a net loss of $95,244 during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The major reason for the increase in net loss in the current period as compared to the previous period is primarily due to increase in expenses as explained in the above expenses section.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had total assets of $847,870, which included total current assets of $831,683 consisted of cash of $31,769, accounts receivable of $48,444, inventory of $195,789, advances and deposits of $204,177, prepayments and other receivables of $351,504 and property and equipment of $16,187, which s classified as a non-current asset.

Net cash used in operating activities.

The increase in net cash used in operating activities by $919,078 was mainly attributable to the increase in loss for the nine months as compared to previous period and change in composition of working capital balances offset by items non-cash items.
Net cash provided by investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 net cash provided by investing activities was $207,222 as compared to $4,803 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was due mainly due to restricted cash of $211,795 offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $4,573 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Net cash provided by financing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 net cash provided by financing activities was $1,084,458 as compared to $867,880 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The overall increase of $216,578 was mainly due to cash proceeds from the issuance of shares and notes amounting to $1,014,499 offset by repayment of $765,465 during the nine months period ended September 30, 2014.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Subsequent event
On October 20, 2014 (the “Closing”), Eco-Shift Power Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Eco-Shift USA”), entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement with and among Sun & Sun Industries, Inc. (“Sun Industries”), and the common stockholders of Sun Industries, Lynda Sun Frederick and Deborah Sun (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Eco-Shift USA acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Sun Industries from the two holders thereof, in exchange for the issuance of 9,850,000 shares of Eco-Shift USA common stock and the payment of cash in the aggregate amount of $250,000. All preferred stock and shareholder notes of Sun Industries were cancelled at the Closing. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, Sun Industries became a wholly owned subsidiary of Eco-Shift USA. Eco-Shift USA also agreed to grant an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of its common stock to certain key members of management of Sun Industries promptly following the Closing.
Need For Additional Capital
The Company has experienced losses from operations since inception that raise doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise additional funding to complete its plan of operations. As at the end of Q3 2014, the Company’s operations do not currently produce sufficient operating cash to support the Company’s operations without additional funding. If the Company is unable to raise adequate working capital it will be restricted in the implementation of its business plan.
The Company’s unaudited interim 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. As shown in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced losses from operations for the first 3 quarters of 2014. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.
Moving forward, the Company plans to seek out additional debt and/or equity financing (similar to the convertible notes and/or promissory notes) to pay costs and expenses associated with our filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to affect our plan of operations (as described above). The sale of additional equity securities, if undertaken by the Company and if accomplished, may result in dilution to our shareholders.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted do not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting Company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. This conclusion was based on the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting previously disclosed and discussed below.
6 | P a g e |
Item 4. Controls and Procedures (continued)
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We identified and continue to have the following material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting: we currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Additionally, due to the fact that we have only three officers and directors who have no experience as officers or directors of a reporting company, such lack of experienced personnel may impair our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material misstatements to our consolidated financial statements and an inability to provide accurate and timely financial information to our stockholders.
To address the need for more effective internal controls, management has plans to improve the existing controls and implement new controls as our financial position and capital availability improves.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company has been named as a co-defendant in a claim by a customer, who is seeking damages of $10,000,000 CAD ($9,046,000 USD) and return of a deposit of $150,000 CAD ($135,690 USD) which was received by the Company under a Value-Added Reseller arrangement. The Company has filed a counterclaim against the customer for damages of $9,548,560 CAD ($8,637,627 USD) resulting from the plaintiff’s breach of contract plus punitive damages of $1,000,000 CAD ($904,600 USD) for negligence and loss of business reputation. Management of the company believes these claims are without merit and has accrued $150,000 CAD ($135,690 USD) in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in regards to this claim, as management believes this represents a reasonable estimate of the mount the Company may ultimately be required to pay.
On January 7, 2014, the Company commenced an action in the Superior Court of Justice for Ontario against N.V. Nederlandsche Apparatenfabriek “Nedap”, Niek Nijenhuis, Thomas Lang, Jeroen Somsen, Venture Lighting International Inc., Andrew Tyrrell, NRG Metalworks Inc., Craig Chornaby, Full Energy Solutions Distribution and Jan Christopher Vargas (together, the Defendants). The Company claims for $25 million CAD ($22.6 million) in compensatory and punitive damages for breach of contract, breach of confidence, conspiracy, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional interference with economic relations and inducing breach of contract. The Company anticipates amending its statement of claim to also allege patent infringement. The Defendants have delivered statements of defence. The Company does not expect this action to proceed to trial until 2015 or 2016.
Other than the matters described above and previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on April 8, 2014, we are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (Also refer 10-K/A) filed with the SEC on April 8, 2014 (the “Annual Report”) and investors are encouraged to read and review the risk factors included in the Annual Report prior to making an investment in the Company.
