SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other filings of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as well as information communicated orally or in writing between the dates of such filings, contains or may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

 

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may”, “could”, “estimate”, “intend”, “continue”, “believe”, “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement. You should, however, consult further disclosures we make in future filings of our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Additionally, the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 most likely do not apply to our forward-looking statements because we are considered a penny stock issuer.

Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company had working capital of $752,400 and an accumulated deficit of $22,776,465 as of March 31, 2015. The Company also has no lending relationships with commercial banks and is dependent on the completion of financings involving the private placement of its securities in order to continue operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company does not anticipate establishing any lending relationships with commercial banks in the foreseeable future due to its limited operations and assets. The Company continues to execute its primary strategy of selling its anolyte disinfecting solution under the Excelyte® brand name to fund its operations and is focused on obtaining additional capital through the private placement of its securities. The Company is pursuing potential equity and/or debt investors and, from time to time, has engaged placement agents to assist it in this initiative. While the Company is pursuing the opportunities and actions described above, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in its efforts. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it will explore other strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, the sale of the Company. Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders.

 

2. Inventory

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, inventory consisted of parts and materials totaling $95,706 and $117,690, respectively.

 

3. Property and Equipment

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, property and equipment, on a net basis, consisted of the following:

 

  

March 31, 2015

   December 31, 2014 
Leasehold improvements  $328,977   $328,977 
Equipment   476,807    437,504 
    805,784    766,481 
Less: Accumulated depreciation   (529,621)   (507,013)
   $276,163   $259,468

Accrued consulting fees and other expenses   30,128    13,550 
   $303,310   $403,520 

 

5. Convertible Debentures

 

April 2007 Convertible Debenture

 

On April 26, 2007, in a private placement, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an individual accredited investor in the principal amount of $25,000. This convertible debenture matured on January 2, 2009 and remains unpaid. The convertible debenture accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. An aggregate of 62,500 shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount due on this convertible debenture at the current conversion price of $0.40 per share.

 

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a total of $740 of interest expense related to this convertible debenture. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal on this convertible debenture was $25,000, which was included as a component of current convertible debentures, and the accrued and unpaid interest was $14,181 and $13,441, respectively, which was included as a component of accrued expenses (see Note 4).

 

Zanett Convertible Debentures

 

On August 21, 2012, the Company issued to Zanett Opportunity Fund, Ltd. (“Zanett”) an 8% convertible debenture in the amount of $476,125 (the “Zanett August 2012 Debenture”). In connection with this private placement, the Company refinanced an 8% convertible debenture, in the principal amount of $376,125, issued to Zanett on July 7, 2011 (the “Zanett July 2011 Debenture”) and refinanced an 8% convertible secured promissory note, in the principal amount of $100,000, issued to Zanett on September 23, 2011 (the “Zanett September 2011 Note”). As a result of the issuance of the Zanett August 2012 Debenture, the Zanett July 2011 Debenture and the Zanett September 2011 Note were cancelled.

 

The Zanett August 2012 Debenture has a three-year term maturing on August 21, 2015 and bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Interest is payable in annual installments in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company elects to pay the interest in shares of its common stock, the number of shares issued as payment will be equal to the quotient of the unpaid interest divided by the market price of the Company’s common stock, as defined in the Zanett August 2012 Debenture.

 

6
 

 

The entire principal amount of the Zanett August 2012 Debenture is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. In addition, at the option of the Company, the entire principal amount of the Zanett August 2012 Debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share upon the occurrence of the merger or acquisition of the Company or if the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for any period of ten consecutive trading days is greater than or equal to $0.15 per share. The quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on August 21, 2012 was $0.05 per share. An aggregate of 4,761,250 shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount due on the Zanett August 2012 Debenture at the current conversion price of $0.10 per share.

 

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $9,392 of interest expense related to the Zanett August 2012 Debenture. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal on the Zanett August 2012 Debenture was $476,125, which was included as a component of current convertible debentures, and the accrued and unpaid interest was $23,272 and $13,880, respectively, which was included as a component of accrued expenses (see Note 4).

 

6. Note Payable

 

On June 17, 2013, the Company and Benchmark Performance Group, Inc. (“Benchmark”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Company purchased nineteen EcaFlo™ machines owned by Benchmark as well as the rights to the Excelyte® trademark and certain other intangible assets. The purchase price for the nineteen EcaFlo™ machines, the Excelyte® trademark and other intangible assets was $190,000.

 

The Company paid $38,000 in conjunction with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement and issued a promissory note with a principal balance of $152,000 (the “Benchmark Note”). The Benchmark Note bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum and requires the Company to make twenty-four monthly payments of $6,805 commencing August 1, 2013. The Benchmark Note is secured by the nineteen EcaFlo™ machines.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $6,852 and $2,029, respectively, of interest expense related to the Benchmark Note. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal on the Benchmark Note was $26,829 and $46,546, respectively.

7. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficiency)

 

Common Stock

 

Sale of Common Stock and Common Stock Units

 

On February 9, 2015, the Company sold (a) an aggregate of 36,500,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,460,000, or $0.04 per share, and (b) common stock units that in aggregate consisted of 7,575,758 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 3,787,880 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, or $0.066 per share.

 

The warrants have a three-year term, are exercisable at $0.066 per share and were fully vested at the date of issuance. In addition, the warrants are callable by the Company in the event that the closing price of its common stock for at least fifteen trading days in any consecutive twenty-trading-day period is equal to or greater than $0.132, provided that at least six months have lapsed from the issuance date of the warrants (see Warrants to Purchase Common Stock).

 

The Company paid an aggregate of $46,050 of offering costs in cash, issued an aggregate of 1,055,303 shares of common stock as payment of $56,000 of offering costs and issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,450,303 shares of common stock (see Warrants to Purchase Common Stock), to non-affiliated third parties, related to these sales of common stock and common stock units.

 

Issuance of Common Stock to Executive Officers

 

On March 25, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,683,000 shares of common stock as stock-based compensation to its executive officers as follows: David R. LaVance, President and Chief Executive Officer – 3,613,250 shares; and Thomas S. Gifford, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer – 2,069,750 shares. The total stock-based compensation expense associated with the issuance of these shares of common stock was $374,510.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company currently has two stock option/stock compensation plans in place: the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Equity Incentive Plans”).

 

The 2010 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders in September 2010. The Company had reserved for issuance an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2015, stock options to purchase 3,846,920 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and 90,500 shares of the Company’s common stock had been issued under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. As a result of the adoption of the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, no further awards are permitted under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

8
 

 

The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders in May 2012. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan is designed to encourage and enable employees and directors of the Company to acquire or increase their holdings of common stock and other proprietary interests in the Company. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan is intended to promote these individuals’ interests in the Company, thereby enhancing the efficiency, soundness, profitability, growth and stockholder value of the Company. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants and/or awards in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock option grants, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance share awards, phantom stock awards and dividend equivalent awards.

 

The original aggregate number of shares of common stock which could be awarded under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan was 14,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. Effective February 25, 2015, as permitted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company’s board of directors increased the number of shares of common stock that could be awarded under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to 37,950,000 shares. As of March 31, 2015, options to purchase 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and up to 37,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock remain available for awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Common stock grants and stock option awards under the Equity Incentive Plans were granted or issued at prices as determined by the Company’s compensation committee, but such prices were not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant or issuance. Stock options granted and outstanding to date consist of both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options.

 

A summary of stock option transactions under the Equity Incentive Plans during the three months ended March 31, 2015 is set forth below:

Exercisable at December 31, 2014   3,846,920   $0.16   $-

The fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $21,613 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Exercise price  $0.08 
Grant date stock price  $0.076 
Expected volatility   137%
Risk-free interest rates   2.08%
Risk of forfeiture   35%
Expected life (in years)   10 
Dividend yield   0.00%

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument, the term of which is consistent with the expected life of the stock options at the date of grant. In projecting expected stock price volatility, the Company used historical stock price volatility of its common stock which the Company believes is representative of future volatility. The Company estimated the expected life of stock options based on historical experience using employee exercise and option expiration data.

9. Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible debt that are not deemed to be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the outstanding stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 4,296,920 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, 23,472,061 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and 4,823,750 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 4,980,254 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, 36,844,565 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and 4,823,750 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation with Former Executive Vice President – Operations

 

On June 17, 2014, a civil complaint was filed against the Company and one of its directors, E. Wayne Kinsey, III, in the Court of Common Pleas, County of Horry, State of South Carolina, by Marion Sofield, the Company’s former Executive Vice President - Operations. In her complaint, Ms. Sofield alleges breach of contract and fraud/fraudulent inducement by the Company against her with regard to her employment agreement and the termination of her employment. Ms. Sofield also alleges the Company and Mr. Kinsey engaged in a civil conspiracy and unfair trade practices and that Mr. Kinsey engaged in tortious interference. Ms. Sofield claims that she is owed additional compensation under her terminated employment agreement, and is seeking the recovery of such compensation as well as attorney’s fees and punitive damages.

 

On July 18, 2014, the Company filed a motion to dismiss this state court action due to the binding arbitration clause contained in Ms. Sofield’s employment agreement that applies to a majority of the allegations in the complaint. On December 8, 2014, the court entered a consent order that: (a) granted the Company’s request to compel binding arbitration of the breach of contract and fraud claims; and (b) stayed the remaining causes of action in the South Carolina state court until the aforementioned binding arbitration process is complete. The Company does not believe there is any merit to Ms. Sofield’s allegations and will continue to vigorously defend this action.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

General

 

IET was originally incorporated in Delaware on February 2, 1999 and is now a Nevada corporation. IET is headquartered in Little River, South Carolina and operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, I.E.T., Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on January 11, 2002.

 

IET markets its products and equipment under the umbrella brand name, EcoTreatments™. IET produces a hypochlorous acid solution (“Anolyte”) as well as an anti-oxidizing, mildly alkaline solution (“Catholyte”), that provide an environmentally friendly and effective alternative for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting as compared to the hazardous chemicals traditionally prevalent in commercial use. IET markets and sells Anolyte under the brand name, Excelyte® and markets Catholyte under the brand name, Catholyte Zero™, although the majority of IET’s sales and marketing efforts are focused on Excelyte®. IET manufactures proprietary equipment, which it markets under the brand name EcaFlo™, to produce Anolyte and Catholyte for distribution by IET and, under certain circumstances, such equipment is leased by IET to customers for use at their facilities.

 

Products

 

We produce Anolyte that is effective as a disinfectant without leaving a harmful residue. The naturally occurring properties and less-corrosive nature of Anolyte make it an excellent replacement for quaternary ammonia, sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and other hazardous chemicals currently being used as disinfectants and sanitizers. Anolyte contains an active killing agent that is produced with a pH of 6.5 and contains a ratio of free available chlorine of approximately 92% hypochlorous acid to 8% hypochlorite. Anolyte is used in the oil and gas market as a hydrogen sulfide scavenger/eliminator and biocide. Anolyte kills various pathogens including, but not limited to, Mycobacterium bovis (Tuberculosis), Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and H1NI influenza virus (swine flu). Anolyte also kills hospital-acquired pathogens such as Clostridium difficile spores (C. diff) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) as well as a carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) known as Klebsiella pneumoniae (NDM-1). Further, the high-risk blood-borne pathogen human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the food-borne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli (E. coli) are killed by Anolyte. We also produce Catholyte, an anti-oxidizing and mild alkaline solution that is effective as a degreaser and cleaner.

 

Anolyte is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) as a tuberculocidal hospital-level surface disinfectant (EPA Registration No. 82341-1). In addition, Anolyte is registered with the EPA (EPA Registration No. 82341-4) as a disinfectant to prevent Canine distemper virus, Canine parvovirus and Bordetella bronchiseptica. We intend to market the canine product, in conjunction with a third-party partner, as Excelyte® VET.

 

14
 

 

IET will also lease EcaFlo™ equipment to a customer in certain situations if the customer’s business model and required volume of Anolyte or Catholyte warrants such an arrangement. Under this type of arrangement, we lease our EcaFlo™ equipment and provide service support for a fixed monthly amount plus royalty payments for the Anolyte and Catholyte produced by the customer. We also license to certain customers the right to utilize our intellectual property pursuant to which the customer is required to pay us a monthly fee based on the number of gallons of Anolyte and Catholyte produced by our EcaFlo™ equipment. We currently have no active lease arrangements and have one active license agreement.

 

Business Strategy

 

We seek long-term relationships and commitments directly with our targeted customers and distributors. Our business model is focused on selling Anolyte and Catholyte directly to customers. In certain situations, a customer’s business model and required volume of Anolyte and Catholyte may necessitate that we place the EcaFlo™ equipment at the customer’s facility. In these situations, we would lease the EcaFlo™ equipment to the customer, maintaining ownership of the EcaFlo™ equipment.

 

We are primarily focused on selling Excelyte® in the oil and gas production market. While our emphasis on the oil and gas market has required the dedication of a majority of our resources, we are also interested in the healthcare facilities and food production markets, where we plan to collaborate with other parties who can assist us in the development, marketing and distribution of Excelyte®.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the interim consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The critical accounting estimates that we believe affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies.

Results of Operations

 

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $150,077, as compared to $18,061 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $132,016, or 731%, increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to a $118,513 increase in Excelyte® sales primarily to oil and gas customers in the Uinta and Permian Basins as we continue our expansion into oil and gas market and a $10,223 increase in sales of EcaFlo™ equipment parts and related supplies.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $56,430, as compared to $4,245 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $52,185 increase in cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to the increase in sales of EcaFlo™ equipment parts with higher costs and the increase in Excelyte® sales to oil and gas customers which are incurring a higher amount of cost of sales due to initial operating costs associated with producing Excelyte® at our production facilities.

 

Gross Profit. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, gross profit margins were 62% and 76%, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, general and administrative expenses were $587,709, as compared to $297,477 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $290,232, or 98%, increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily the result of a $183,757 increase in stock-based compensation expense for employees, a $56,325 increase in consulting fees related to investor and public relations, a $24,895 increase in travel expense related to fundraising and business development activities, a $12,229 increase in legal fees related to corporate activities and a $10,500 increase in director compensation, offset by a $20,000 decrease in stock-based compensation expense for consultants.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, sales and marketing expenses were $422,682, as compared to $160,367 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $262,315, or 164%, increase in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily the result of a $129,034 increase in stock-based compensation expense for employees, a $63,387 increase in employee payroll and associated benefit costs related to new employees, a $59,687 increase in sales and well testing supplies and a $24,895 increase in travel expense related to sales activities, offset by a $51,618 decrease in marketing expense primarily related to the Company’s web site and product branding initiatives.

 

Research and Development Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, research and development expenses were $134,010, as compared to $60,890 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $73,120, or 120%, increase in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily the result of a $55,097 increase in stock-based compensation expense for employees and a $16,685 increase in laboratory testing fees.

 

Loss from Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the loss from operations was $1,057,954, as compared to $504,918 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $545,836, or 108%, increase in the loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was attributable to a $290,232 increase in general and administrative expenses, a $262,315 increase in sales and marketing expenses and a $73,120 increase in research and development expenses. These increases were primarily due to the $344,651 increase in stock-based compensation to employees.

 

16
 

 

Interest Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, interest expense was $11,011, as compared to $12,281 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $1,270, or 10%, decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to the decrease in interest expense related to a note payable for an equipment purchase.

 

Net Loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company’s net loss was $1,061,645, as compared to $517,199 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $544,446, or 105%, increase in the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to a $290,232 increase in general and administrative expenses, a $262,315 increase in sales and marketing expenses and a $73,120 increase in research and development expenses. These increases were primarily due to the $344,651 increase in stock-based compensation to employees.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2015, IET had working capital of $752,400 and cash on hand of $1,629,158. The $1,257,866 increase in cash on hand from December 31, 2014 was primarily due to the receipt of $1,913,950 of net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and common stock units, offset by $19,717 of payments on a note payable and our continuing operating expenses.

 

During the past several years, IET has generally sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. We currently do not generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our products to fund our operations and have funded this shortfall through the sale of our common stock.

 

As of May 8, 2015, our cash position was approximately $1,274,000. If we are not able to generate profitable operations from the sale of our products or we are not able to obtain additional financing, we will only be able to continue our operations for approximately eight months from the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We have no lending relationships with commercial banks and are dependent on our ability to attain profitable operations and raise additional capital through one or more equity and/or debt financings in order to continue operations. While we are working toward attaining profitability for our continuing operations and pursuing potential equity and/or debt investors, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts. From time to time, we engage placement agents to assist us in our financing initiatives. Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders. If we are unable to attain profitable operations or secure additional capital, we will explore strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, the possible sale of IET. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis of a matter paragraph in its report included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements included herein do not include any adjustments related to this uncertainty.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the Company’s last fiscal quarter, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s current management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), who concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company reports filed or submitted 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 in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management reviews the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting and makes changes to the Company’s processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that the Company maintains an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities and migrating processes.

 

During the Company’s last fiscal quarter, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The convertible debenture accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. An aggregate of 62,500 shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount due on this convertible debenture.
