SUNVALLEY SOLAR, INC.

 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2016, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.


Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2015 audited consolidated financial statements.  The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.


NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN


The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.


In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of the financial statements. The Company s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company s financial statements.

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on an average cost basis; and the inventory is comprised of raw materials and finished goods. Raw materials consist of fittings and other components necessary to assemble the Company s finished goods.  Finished goods consist of solar panels ready for installation and delivery to customers.


The Company s inventory consisted of the following at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares (restricted and free trading) during the periods presented. Basic loss per share and diluted loss per share are the same amount because the impact of additional common shares that might have been issued under the Company s outstanding and exercisable stock options would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive instruments include 1,000,000 shares to be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce net loss per share. There were 1,000,000 such potentially anti-dilutive shares excluded as of March 31, 2016.


NOTE 4 COSTS IN EXCESS OF BILLINGS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS


The Company is currently involved in certain major short-term solar panel installation projects.  The Company is accounting for revenue and expenses associated with these contracts under the completed contract method of accounting in accordance with ASC 605.  Under ASC 605, income is recognized on when the contracts are completed or substantially completed and billings and others costs are accumulated on the balance sheet.  Under the completed contract method, no profit or income is recorded before completion of substantial completion of the work.


As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has capitalized $161,899 and $58,235 of costs incurred in relation to installation projects.  


NOTE 5 PREFERRED STOCK

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 6,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock; 1,000,000 shares of which are designated as Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, and 2,000,000 shares of which are designated as Class B Convertible Preferred Stock. The remaining 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized remain undesignated.

NOTE 5 PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)

 

Class A Convertible Preferred Stock


Holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of the Company s common stock on all matters submitted to shareholders at a rate of one hundred (100) votes for each share held. Holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock are also entitled, at their option, to convert their shares into shares of the Company s common stock on a 20 common share for 1 preferred share basis. The Class A Convertible Preferred shares were valued at the trading price of the common shares into which they are convertible. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 1,000,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.


Class B Convertible Preferred Stock


The holders of the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock have no dividend rights, have the right to convert each Class B share into 10 post-split common shares and have the right to 10 votes per Class B Convertible Preferred share for all matters submitted to the holders of the Company s common stock. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 2,000,000 shares and -0- shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, respectively.


On July 23, 2015, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, to certain officers, directors and/or employees for services valued at $2,000,000, the value of which was based on the trading price of the common stock into which each share of preferred stock is convertible. The issuance of such preferred shares was valued as a stock subscription payable of $2,000,000 which is being amortized ratably over the vesting period to compensation expenses based on the fair market value of the Company s preferred shares on the date of issuance. Compensation expense of $498,630 was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and the remaining compensation expense related to the unvested portion of preferred stock was $619,179.

Item 2.     Management s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words believes, project, expects, anticipates, estimates, intends, strategy, plan, may, will, would, will be, will continue, will likely result, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

 

Company Overview and Plan of Operation

 

Sunvalley Solar, Inc. (the Company we , our ) is a California-based solar power technology and system integration company founded in January of 2007. We are focused on developing our expertise and proprietary technology to install residential, commercial and governmental solar power systems. We offer turnkey solar system solutions for owners, builders and architecture firms that include designing, building, operating, monitoring and maintaining solar power systems. Our customers range from small private residences to large commercial solar power users. We have the necessary licenses and expertise to design and install large scale solar power systems. We hold a C-46 Solar License from CBCL (California Board of Contractor License). Some of the large scale commercial solar power systems that we have designed and installed include large office buildings, farming and manufacturing facilities and warehouses. Our proprietary technologies in solar installation provide our customers with a high quality, low cost and flexible solar power system solutions.

We are working to develop as an end-to-end solar energy solution provider by providing system solution, post-sale service, customer technical support, solar system design and field installation.  We conduct our operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sunvalley Solar Tech, Inc.

Business Development Plan


The primary components of our growth strategy are as follows:


"

Developing and commercializing our proprietary solar technologies including our coating and focusing technologies, networked PV panel system. By deploying these new technologies into our PV panels and solar installation business, we hope to enhance the value provided to our customers and increase our profitability.


"

Promoting and enhancing our company s brand and reputation in solar design and integration and expanding our installation business.


"

Developing a PV panel manufacturing capability to provide high efficiency and low cost solar panels to US market. This will complement our installation business and provide an implementation platform for our R&D.



10



Expansion of Installation Business


We are planning to expand our installation business. We will continue to execute our marketing and sales strategy in Southern California and, with additional capital, will be able to expand our business to cover Northern California, Arizona or other states. The planned expansion is expected to occur through acquiring smaller installation companies in these regions and/or through the establishment of subsidiaries in these states and boost our installation profits. Our current intention is to establish two new offices located in Northern California or other states and in San Diego. The estimated start-up cost for each new branch would be approximately $500,000.


If we are able to expand our installation business, it will assist us in gaining favorable terms from OEM international manufacturers of our planned solar panel manufacturing operation. In addition, an expanded installation business would allow us to accelerate the introduction of our new technologies and solar parts and would generate additional revenue to fund initial investment in our planned Distributed Power Plant business and to further fund our investments in R&D.


Prior to initiating our planned OEM manufacturing of Sunvalley-branded solar panels, we will need to commercialize our advanced panel technology through the design, fabrication, and characterization of a prototype solar cell. The total expense for planned commercialization of our research and development will be approximately $500,000.


Commercialization of Research and Development


Our Patent Networked Solar Panels and Related Methods was issued on February 24, 2015.  We will need to commercialize this advanced technology through the design, fabrication, and characterization of prototype solar components and system cell.  The total expense for planned commercialization of our research and development will be approximately $2,000,000.   Through this technology, it is able to address the undesirable fluctuations in the voltage of the power grid due to uncertain environmental impact to solar system. Commercializing this technology into mass production will involve cooperation and approval from utility companies. In addition, the networked PV panel concept will also need to demonstrate that panels using the technology will have a productive life-span and a tolerance to environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature, wind load that are sufficient for the panels to be used in real life application. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that we will be able to commercially produce and market solar panels using our new networked PV panel system technology.


Initiate OEM Manufacturing of Solar Panels


By leveraging our solar panel installation business and R&D, we plan to procure OEM solar panels from selected Chinese manufacturers and to market them in the U.S. under our brand name. We will be responsible for R&D, quality control, customer service, sales and marketing activities, as well as panel certification in U.S.


The estimated OEM panel cost is less than $0.50 per watt. As a reference, currently, the lowest panel price is around $0.70 per watt (Mono-crystalline, Polycrystalline). We can use our own sales and installation platform to showcase the new panels and drive sales of the new panels in the U.S market. Meanwhile, we will continue our R&D effort on panel coating and other advanced technologies and apply the results to its panel manufacturing business. The goal will be to further improve the efficiency, lower the cost of solar panels with our proprietary technologies, and to grow our market share.


Our marketing strategy for its planned OEM solar panels is as follows:


"



11



Set-up a platform to showcase our innovative solar panel technologies and make Sunvalley solar panels a household name.


Unlike other merchandise, solar panel is very unique in that it requires very high level of quality assurance and customer satisfaction. Providing satisfactory customer service and technical support is absolutely vital in solar panel sales. As the first step, we will strive to make its brand a household name. The Sunvalley solar panel will be used by our installation business as well as several other installation companies which have partnerships with us. We do not currently have partnerships with other solar installation companies, but we plan to pursue them after introducing the panels to the market through our own installation business. A marketing campaign aimed at other solar installation companies will help to achieve this goal. We will use our own installation business as the platform to showcase the product quality and build up consumer awareness of its brand.


"

Penetrate into the main stream distribution network


By leveraging early successes and customer trust earned from our initial installations, we plan to penetrate into the mainstream distribution network with our OEM solar panels.


"

Further sale activities


Once our brand name solar panels become well known, our sales team will begin an aggressive marketing campaign to connect the individual sales points (distributors and venders) to form a distribution network. The marketing campaigns will also include attending trade shows, advertising in the media (TV commercials and newspaper advertisement) and designating local representatives to boost the market share and brand awareness.


"

Offer a low cost, high efficiency solar panel derived from advanced research


To boost our solar panel market share, our R&D team will work with our OEM partner to apply selective coating technique and other cutting edge technologies to further reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the panel efficiency.


The total capital required to initiate our planned panel manufacturing business would be approximately $2,000,000 which can be categorized into three parts:


"

Registration and Certification of OEM panels with our brand $300,000, including UL certification fees, CEC registration fees, and lab testing fees.


"

Initial Inventory $1,500,000. We will need to keep 4-5 containers of PV panels in the warehouse in order to support sales of 5~10M watts per year, which means we will need to have over $1,000,000 in inventory for PV panels only. An additional $300,000 in inventory would be needed in order to keep the requisite amount of inverters and racking and panel cleaning systems. In addition, we anticipate providing variable payment terms to different customers based on their creditworthiness; this will add additional cash flow pressure.

OEM Management costs $200,000


We are among the few companies in California that has the permit and expertise to install large-scale commercial and/or government solar power systems, together with roof constructional design and building interior/exterior electrical designs. We believe additional advantages are provided by our



12



experience in filing solar power system permit applications and rebate applications and our expertise gained through our experience with governments and utility companies.


Expected Changes In Number of Employees, Plant, and Equipment

 

We do not currently plan to purchase specific additional physical plant and significant equipment within the immediate future. We do not currently have specific plans to change the number of our employees during the next twelve months.


Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we generated no revenues. We incurred selling, general, and administrative expenses of $831,295, other income of $2,096, interest expense of $147, and a loss on disposal of assets on $415. Our net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $829,761.


By comparison, during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we generated revenue of $925,742, and had costs of sales in the amount of $703,478, resulting in gross profit of $222,264. We incurred selling, general, and administrative expenses of $255,892, other income of $350, and interest expense of $948. Our net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $34,226.


We generated no revenues during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 because under the completed
contract method of accounting, no profit or income is recorded before substantial completion of the work.
The revenue for the projects which were in progress are therefore to be recognized after their completion.
Due to the implementation periods for different size of projects, revenue fluctuations like the one
experienced during this quarter are a normal occurrence for construction companies, including solar system integration companies.


We are currently working on three major installation projects with contract prices totaling approximately
$5.8 million. One of these contracts is expected to be substantially completed by the second quarter of 2016 and the other two contracts are expected to complete by the end of 2016.


The significant increase in operating expenses of $575,403 in the first quarter of 2016 was mainly due to a $567,630 increase in salaries and wages expense which included $498,630 from the issuance of the
Company s 2,000,000 shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock to certain officers, directors and/or
employees on July 23, 2015 which is being recognized over the vesting period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had current assets in the amount of $3,459,693, consisting of cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $1,032,740, accounts receivable of $2,022,549, inventory in the amount of $107,870, costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of $161,899, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $97,135, and restricted cash of $37,500. As of March 31, 2016, we had current liabilities in the amount of $4,185,249. These consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $3,524,366, customer deposits of $450,212, accrued warranty of $104,870, advances from contractors of $103,389, and the current portion of a capital lease in the amount of $2,412. Our working capital deficit as of March 31, 2016 was therefore $725,556.





13



Our accounts payable and accrued expenses as of March 31, 2016 consisted of the following:

Accounts Payable

$3,151,738

Credit Card payable

$35,648

Accrued vacation

$59,159

Other accrued expense

$173,997

Payroll liabilities

$53,825

Sales tax payable

$49,979

Total

$3,524,366

 As of March 31, 2016, we had no long term liabilities.

In order to move forward with our business development plan set forth above, we will require additional financing in the approximate amount of $4,500,000, to be allocated as follows:

Initiate OEM Manufacturing

$ 2,000,000

R&D Commercialization Costs

$    500,000

Expansion of Installation Business

(3 new branches)

$ 1,500,000

Additional working capital and

general corporate

$    500,000

Total capital needs

$ 4,500,000


We will require substantial additional financing in the approximate amount of $4,500,000 in order to execute our business expansion and development plans and we may require additional financing in order to sustain substantial future business operations for an extended period of time. We currently do not have any firm arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required, in the amounts necessary to execute on our plans in full, or on terms which are economically feasible.

We are currently seeking additional financing. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to reduce the planned future growth of our operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2016, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Going Concern

 

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and had an accumulated deficit of $4,278,598 as of March 31, 2016. To date, we have not been able to produce sufficient sales to become cash flow positive and profitable on a consistent basis. The success of our business plan during the next 12 months and beyond will be contingent upon generating sufficient revenue to cover our costs of operations and/or upon obtaining additional financing. For these reasons, our auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 



14



In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most critical accounting polices in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company s financial condition and results, and requires management s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We do not believe that any accounting policies currently fit this definition.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Our management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. Our management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures


We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2016. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Zhijian (James) Zhang and our Chief Financial Officer, Mandy Chung. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016.


Management determined that the material weaknesses that resulted in controls being ineffective are primarily due to lack of resources and number of employees. Material weaknesses exist in the segregation of duties required for effective controls and various reconciliation and control procedures not regularly performed due to the lack of staff and resources.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error.   Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in



15



part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Effective May 15, 2016 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Rayco Energy, Inc. ( Rayco ). Rayco is a northern California company specializing in providing cost-saving and efficient energy solutions, including LED lighting, Solar Thermal and Solar Electricity, to local



16



communities and business units. Under the Agreement, we shall purchase 100% of Rayco s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock in exchange for seventy five thousand and five hundred (75,500) our Series B Preferred Shares.  Our Series B Preferred shares are convertible to common stock on a 10 for 1 basis. In addition, we agreed to pay an additional $350,000 in cash to the shareholders Rayco, conditioned upon the 2016 net profit from the operation of Rayco, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunvalley, being in excess of $10,000 (the Condition ). We also agreed to invest no less than $350,000 working capital into Rayco after closing for its current projects and working capital. To evidence the unpaid balance of the purchase price, we shall issue to Rayco s shareholders 6% subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate amount $350,000, payable only upon Rayco s 2016 net operating profit being in excess of $10,000. Interest and principal are payable monthly under the notes on first day of each month commencing May 1, 2017.  Prepayments may be made at any time as the Company s cash flow allows, as determined by the Sunvalley s Board of Directors.  In the event that the Condition is not met, such notes shall be deemed null and void.
