FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report contains certain forward looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including or related to our future results, events and performance (including certain projections, business trends and assumptions on future financings), and our expected future operations and actions. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “plan,” “future,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” “predict,” “hope,” “potential,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans and objectives for future operations and are based upon management’s reasonable estimates of future results or trends. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider the risks that the anticipated outcome is subject to, including the factors discussed under “ Risk Factors ” in previous filings and elsewhere. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Actual results may differ from projected results due, but not limited to, unforeseen developments, including those relating to the following:

 

  We fail to raise capital;
  We fail to implement our business plan;
  We fail to complete acquisitions or fail to integrate acquired companies successfully;
  We fail to compete at producing cost effective products;
  Market demand does not materialize for compost and manufactured soils;
  The availability of additional capital at reasonable terms to support our business plan;
  Economic, competitive, demographic, business and other conditions in our markets;
  Changes or developments in laws, regulations or taxes;
  Actions taken or not taken by third-parties, including our suppliers and competitors;
  The failure to acquire or the loss of any license or patent;
  The failure to obtain or loss of a permit or operating license;
  Changes in our business strategy or development plans;
  The availability and adequacy of our cash flow to meet our requirements; and
  Other factors discussed under the section entitled “RISK FACTORS” in previous filings or elsewhere herein.

 

You should read this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, future financings, performance, or achievements. Moreover, we do not assume any responsibility for accuracy and completeness of such statements in the future. We do not plan to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report to conform such statements to actual results.

 

JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT DISCLOSURE

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). An issuer qualifies as an “emerging growth company” if it has total annual gross revenues of less than $1.0 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year, and will continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of:

 

  the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1.0 billion or more;
     
  the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement;
     
  the date on which the issuer has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or
     
 

the date on which the issuer is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Section 240.12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

 

  2  
 

 

As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from various reporting requirements. Specifically, we are exempt from the following provisions:

 

  Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires evaluations and reporting related to an issuer’s internal controls;
     
  Section 14A(a) of the Exchange Act, which requires an issuer to seek shareholder approval of the compensation of its executives not less frequently than once every three years; and
     
  Section 14A(b) of the Exchange Act, which requires an issuer to seek shareholder approval of its so-called “golden parachute” compensation, or compensation upon termination of an employee’s employment.

 

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

 

Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the SEC, as a “smaller reporting company.” That designation will relieve us of some of the informational requirements of Regulation S-K.

 

Sarbanes/Oxley Act

 

Except for the limitations excluded by the JOBS Act discussed under the preceding heading “Emerging Growth Company,” we are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes/Oxley Act created a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; management assessment of our internal controls; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; requires companies and auditors to evaluate internal controls and procedures; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions. Compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act will substantially increase our legal and accounting costs.

 

Exchange Act Reporting Requirements

 

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act like we are to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to shareholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our shareholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A (where proxies are solicited) or 14C (where consents in writing to the action have already been received or anticipated to be received) of Regulation 14, as applicable; and preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our shareholders. We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Reports to Security Holders

 

You may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may also find all of the reports that we have filed electronically with the SEC at their Internet site www.sec.gov.

Q2POWER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Q2Power Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter the “Company”), incorporated in Delaware on August 26, 2004, is currently engaged in the business of compost and soil manufacturing, and is pursuing a plan of strategic acquisitions in this sector. The Company also owns and licenses technology developed over the last three years that converts waste fuels and heat to power. Formerly, the Company’s name was Anpath Group, Inc. (“Anpath”).

 

Q2Power Corp. (the “Subsidiary” or “Q2P”) has operated as a renewable power R&D company focused on the conversion of waste to energy and other valuable “reuse” products since July 2014. The operations of the Company have from the time of the Merger (described below) until recently been essentially those of the Subsidiary. In 2017, the Company shifted its focus from technology R&D to the acquisition and operation of facilities that manufacture compost and sustainable soils from waste resources.

 

On November 12, 2015, the Company and its special purpose merger subsidiary completed a merger (the “Merger”) with Q2P. As a result of the Merger, all outstanding shares of Q2P were exchanged for 24,034,475 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company assumed both the Q2P 2014 Founders Stock Option Plan and the 2014 Employees Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plans”), and 1,095,480 options outstanding thereunder. Also pursuant to the Merger, the officers and directors of Q2P assumed control over the management and Board of Directors of the Company. Subsequent to the Merger, the Company officially changed its name to Q2Power Technologies, Inc.

 

On December 1, 2015, in connection with the Merger the Company also sold its prior operating subsidiary, EnviroSystems Inc. (“ESI”), to three former shareholders in exchange for a return of 470,560 shares of the Company’s common stock. ESI assumed all debt, payables and a litigation judgment that was on its books as of the Merger date. On February 12, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Company from March 31 to December 31. This change is a result of the Merger, and reflects the fiscal year-end period for Q2P.

 

In May 2016, the Company began exploring other synergistic business lines such as compost and soil manufacturing from waste water biosolids. Moving forward the Company intends to phase out its R&D activities, including the possibility of selling its waste-to-power technology, and focus entirely on the business of compost and engineered soils manufacturing and sales.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheet information contained herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 25, 2017.

 

The Company has incurred a net loss of $1,151,104 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and used cash in operating activities of $487,370. The accumulated deficit since inception is $8,402,873, which is comprised of operating losses and other expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenue and/or raise capital sufficient to support its operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans which include implementation of its business model to generate revenue from product sales and royalties, acquisition of cash-flowing businesses, and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity offerings.

 

  7  
 

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the first $1,050,000 tranche of a $1,500,000 convertible bridge note offering (the “Bridge Offering”); and as of June 30, 2017, the Company closed an additional $400,000 of follow-on investments in the Bridge Offering. The proceeds from this offering are expected to provide working capital for the Company through at least the end of 2017.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the period. On an on-going basis, the Company reviews and evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those that relate to the realizable value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, derivative liabilities, income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References herein to the Company include the Company and its Subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all unrestricted cash, short-term deposits, and other investments with original maturities of no more than ninety days when acquired to be cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows. The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions, and has experienced no losses with respect to amounts on deposit.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue for services from the Company’s compost and soil business is recognized at the date of delivery of deliverables to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery or milestone deliverable is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue.

 

Revenue from the Company’s prior waste-to-power operations is recognized at the date of shipment of engines and systems, engine prototypes, engine designs or other deliverables to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery or milestone deliverable is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company does not allow its customers to return prototype products.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development activities for product development are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of salaries. Costs for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $0 and $122,300, respectively. Costs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $0 and $309,429, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company applies the fair value method of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “ Share Based Payment ”, in accounting for its stock based compensation. This standard states that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company values stock based compensation at the market price for the Company’s common stock and other pertinent factors at the grant date.

 

The Company accounts for transactions in which services are received from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the equity instruments exchanged, in accordance with ASC 505-50, “ Equity Based payments to Non-employees ”. The Company measures the fair value of the equity instruments issued based on the market price of the Company’s stock at the time services or goods are provided.

 

Common Stock Options

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation method is used to determine fair value of these options consistent with ASC 718, “ Share Based Payment”. Use of this method requires that the Company make assumptions regarding stock volatility, dividend yields, expected term of the awards and risk-free interest rates.

 

Derivatives

 

Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes are therein generally recognized in profit or loss.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

    Years  
Furniture and equipment   7  
Computers   5  

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets and other long lived assets to determine whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. To date, the Company has not recognized any impairment charges.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.

 

In the event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2017, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to any unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a component of income taxes.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) less preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net loss less preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus any potentially dilutive shares related to the issuance of stock options, shares from the issuance of stock warrants, shares issued from the conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock and shares issued for the conversion of convertible debt. There were no potentially dilutive shares as of June 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

At June 30, 2017, there were the following potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive: 6,915,480 shares from common stock options, 3,568,845 shares from common stock warrants, 1,100,000 shares from the conversion of debentures (not inclusive of shares that may be converted from the Bridge Round, as the valuation and corresponding share price will not be determined until the closing of the next financing by the Company in an amount of at least $5,000,000 or December 31, 2017, whichever is sooner), and 4,000,000 shares from the conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock. At June 30, 2016, there were the following potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive: 5,165,480 shares from common stock options, 1,568,845 shares from common stock warrants, 1,584,524 shares from the conversion of debentures and 2,857,142 shares from the conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock.

 

Effective January 1, 2016, the number of shares issued and outstanding was adjusted by 32,760 shares to align the Company’s records with its independent transfer agent. The shares previously reported in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 were 29,651,431 and are now reported at 29,684,191. The impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements of this adjustment was not material.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), No. 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers ”, to replace the existing revenue recognition criteria for contracts with customers and to establish the disclosure requirements for revenue from contracts with customers. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption of the ASU is either retrospective to each prior period presented or retrospective with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings or accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements; however, in light of the material changes in the Company’s business model which have occurred, the Company expects to do further review in the third quarter of 2017.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “ Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ”, requiring management to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842) (the Update) ”, requiring management to recognize any right-to-use-asset and lease liability on the statement of financial position for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The criteria used to determine such classification is essentially the same as under the previous guidance, but it is more subjective. The lessee would classify the lease as a finance lease if certain criteria at lease commencement are met. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard amends and adjusts how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless impracticable. If impracticable the Company would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date possible. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-15 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

  10  
 

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; and the Company is currently evaluating the impact that it will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows .

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendment changes the classification of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. When determining whether certain financial instruments (or embedded features) should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, under ASU 2017-11, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value solely as a result of the existence of a down round feature. The adoption of ASU 2017-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 . The Company has early adopted this standard for this interim period, applying the standard retrospectively by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the amount of $388,667 as of January 1, 2017 (see Note 8).

 

Concentration of Risk

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk. The Company expects cash and accounts receivable to be the two assets most likely to subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its risk of loss exposure.

 

The Company historically purchased much of its machined parts through Precision CNC, a related party company that sublet office space to Q2P through June 27, 2016, and owns a non-controlling interest in the Company. See Note 6.

 

NOTE 4 –PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

 

Property and equipment, net consists of the following:

 

    June 30, 2017     December 31 ,2016  
Furniture and Computers   $ 1,328     $ 1,328  
Shop Equipment     9,540       9,540  
Total     10,868       10,868  
Accumulated depreciation     (5,113 )     (4,136 )
Net property and equipment   $ 5,755     $ 6,732  

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $494 and $13,267, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $977 and $26,533, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – CYCLONE SEPARATION, LICENSE RIGHTS AND DEFERRED REVENUE

 

In 2014, Q2P purchased for $175,000 certain licensing rights to use Cyclone Power Technologies’ (“Cyclone”) patented technology on a worldwide, exclusive basis for 20 years with two 10-year renewal terms for Q2P’s waste heat and waste-to-power business. This agreement contains a royalty provision equal to 5% of gross sales payable to Cyclone on sales of engines derived from technology licensed from Cyclone. Also, as part of a separation agreement with Cyclone, Q2P assumed a license agreement between Cyclone and Phoenix Power Group (“Phoenix”), which included deferred revenue of $250,000 from payments previously made to Cyclone for undelivered products. The net balances as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for the Cyclone licensing rights were $47,396 and $69,271, respectively; and the net balances as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for the Phoenix deferred revenue were $0 and $250,000, respectively, which are included as a component of deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The licensing rights are amortized over its estimated useful life of 4 years. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $10,938 and $10,938, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $21,875 and $21,875 respectively.

On January 9, 2017, the Company transferred and assigned to Phoenix its Technology Sales Agreement with MagneGas Corporation (the “MagneGas Agreement”) to deliver a waste-to-power system to this customer. Under the MagneGas Agreement, the Company had been paid $90,000 as of the date of transfer, and $68,000 was still due from the customer based on milestones set forth in the MagneGas Agreement. Phoenix assumed the MagneGas Agreement with all rights to receive the future payments thereunder, and responsibility to perform the services and provide the products to the customer. The Company has no further responsibility under the MagneGas Agreement. In consideration for this transfer, Phoenix agreed that the Company had completed and satisfied all financial obligations associated with all past agreements between Phoenix and the Company, specifically: (1) $150,000 previously paid by Phoenix for durability testing of the Q2P engine, and (2) delivery by the Company of the first ten (10) Q2P engines at the rate of $10,000 per delivered Engine for $100,000 in total. This deferred revenue in the total amount of $250,000 was recorded as gain from the extinguishment of liabilities in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

In connection with the separation agreement with Cyclone, the Company also assumed a contract with Clean Carbon of Australia and a corresponding $10,064 prepayment for services or other value to be provided in the future. This deposit has been presented as deferred revenue on the June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Through June 2016, the Company sublet approximately 2,500 square feet of assembly, warehouse and office space within the Precision CNC facility located at 1858 Cedar Hill Road in Lancaster, Ohio. The sublease provided for the Company to pay rent monthly in the amount of $2,500, which covered space and some utilities. Occupancy costs for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $0 and $7,500, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $0 and $15,000, respectively. The sublease was terminated as of June 27, 2016.

 

The Company also purchased much of its machined parts through Precision CNC up until June 2016. Precision CNC owns a non-controlling interest in the Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the amounts invoiced from Precision CNC totaled $0 and $11,560, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the amounts invoiced totaled $0 and $32,119, respectively, and consisted of rent and research and development expenses for machined parts.

 

On June 27, 2016, the Company and Precision CNC entered into an agreement to eliminate $49,299 in payables owed to Precision CNC in return for the transfer of certain net assets of the Company with a remaining book value of $70,495, which included office furniture, software and computer systems, and 50,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $10,500. The Company recorded a loss on this transaction in the amount of $31,696. There were no accounts payable and accrued expenses at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 to Precision CNC.

 

The Company also maintains an executive office in Florida, which is leased by GreenBlock Capital LLC, an investment firm that the Company’s President serves as a Managing Director, but holds no equity or voting rights. The Company has no formal agreement for this space and pays no rent.

 

In March 2017, all outstanding Director accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable – related parties with an aggregate amount of $ 156,368 were converted into the Company’s Bridge Offering (see Note 7).

 

In April 2017, the Company’s President forgave $112,797 of deferred salary. This amount was reclassified from accrued expenses to additional paid in capital during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE AND DEBENTURES

 

In March 2017, the Company entered into a Modification and Extension Agreement with two holders of its Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2017, reset the conversion price from $0.21 to $0.15, and waive any defaults under the Debentures from the expiration of the maturity date or otherwise. The exercise price of the Warrants that were issued with the Debentures’ exercise price, which had been reset to $0.50 per verbal agreement of the parties in the third quarter of 2016, was formally documented under this March 2017 modification agreement. The Debentures do not bear interest, but contained an Original Issue Discount of $20,750. All assets of the Company are secured under the Debentures, including our Subsidiary and its assets. The Debentures and warrants contain certain anti-dilutive protection provisions in the instance that the Company issues stock at a price below the stated conversion price of the Debentures, as well as other standard protections for the holder. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the two Debentures was $165,000. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Debentures were in default based on the July 31, 2017 maturity date. The Company is in discussions with the holders to extend the maturity date or amend the terms of the Debentures.

 

  12  
 

 

On March 15, 2016, the Company entered into a 120-day term loan agreement with one accredited investor in the principal amount of $150,000. The loan bears 20% interest with interest payments due monthly. The Company incurred loan issuance costs of 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $26,000, $3,000 cash and provided a second security interest in the assets of the Company to the holders. The issuance costs were fully expensed in 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the loan balance was $150,000, and accrued interest related to the loan was $2,500. This loan matured on July 15, 2016, and a 10% late penalty was assessed on July 15, 2016.

 

On March 22, 2017, the Company and the term loan holder entered into an Addendum to the loan agreement which extended the maturity date to December 31, 2017, allowed for conversion of the principal amount and accrued interest at the discretion of the holder to common stock at a price of $0.15 per share, and waived all defaults in return for payment of $30,000 which included a $15,000 late penalty and $15,000 of accrued but unpaid interest. This payment was made in April 2017 and the loan is now current. The Company determined that the new conversion feature has no intrinsic value and that the amended terms did not result in a significantly different instrument, and, accordingly, accounted for the addendum as a modification of debt.

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company closed the initial $1,050,000 tranche in a Convertible Promissory Note (the Bridge Offering). In addition, as part of that initial closing, three of the Company’s directors and one shareholder converted $168,152 of prior notes and cash advances, including interest thereon, into the Bridge Offering. As of May 31, 2017, an additional $400,000 was raised under the Bridge Offering and $23,756 of additional prior notes were converted into this round.

 

The Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) from the Bridge Offering convert at a 50% discount to the post-funding valuation of the Company at the closing of its next offering in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (the “Equity Offering”). The conversion valuation has a ceiling of $12,000,000, and a “floor” company value of $6,000,000 in the event there is no Equity Offering before the Notes are able to be converted.

 

Pursuant to ASC 825-10-25-1, Fair Value Option, the Company made an irrevocable election at the time of issuance to report the Notes at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded through the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as other income (expense) in each reporting period. The fair value recorded as of June 30, 2017 was $2,300,000 (see Note 8) and the principal amount due was $1,641,908. The change in fair value resulted in a charge to earnings in the three months ended June 30, 2017 of $625,277.

 

The Notes convert into common stock, or preferred stock if received by investors in the Equity Offering, commencing on the earliest of the Equity Offering closing or December 31, 2017, at the discretion of each holder. Maturity is 36 months from issuance with 15% annual interest which will be capitalized each year into the principal of the Notes and paid in kind. There are no warrants issued in connection with the Offering.

 

Funds from the Bridge Offering will be used to secure acquisitions of compost and soil companies with closings expected to occur concurrently with the closing of the Equity Offering, and up to 12 months of operating capital. A limited portion of the funds were also used to eliminate liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet. The Bridge Offering was led by two accredited investors, and joined by approximately 25 additional accredited investors which included $75,000 of new cash investment by the Company’s Directors, as well as conversion of $156,368 of old payables, notes and advances made by them in 2016 and 2017. Management conducted the Offering and no broker fees were paid in connection with the initial closing. All securities issued in the Offering and debt settlements were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DERIVATIVES

 

The Company measures fair value in accordance with a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

  Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
     
  Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
     
  Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

All derivatives recognized by the Company are reported as derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are adjusted to their fair value at each reporting date. Unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments are included in change in value of derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The following tables set forth the Company’s condensed consolidated financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

    Fair value at

Total   $ 213,042     $ -     $ -     $ 213,042  

 

There were no transfers between levels during the six months ended June 30, 2017. However, in accordance with ASU 2017-11 Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), the financial instruments previously classified and fair valued as derivative liabilities due to down round features, have been retrospectively adjusted by means of a cumulative-effect to the condensed consolidated balance sheet as January 1, 2017. The cumulative change effect of $388,667 is recognized as an adjustment of the opening balance of accumulated deficit for the year.

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company issued $1,218,152 of Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), and closed an additional $423,756 of Notes by May 31, 2017. The Notes convert at a 50% discount to the post-funding valuation of the Company at the closing of its next offering in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (the “Equity Offering”). The conversion valuation has a ceiling of $12,000,000, and a “floor” company value of $6,000,000 in the event there is no Equity Offering before the Notes are able to be converted. The fair value of the Bridge Notes was determined using various Monte Carlo simulations.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of items measured at fair value on a recurring basis that use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) and the related realized and unrealized gains (losses) recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the period. The table also shows the cumulative change effect of the derivative liabilities that were recorded as an adjustment of the opening balance of accumulated deficit for the year:

The Company’s convertible bridge notes are valued by using Monte Carlo Simulation methods and discounted future cash flow models. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. These convertible bridge notes do not trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs cannot generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following assumptions were used to value the Company’s convertible bridge notes at June 30, 2017: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 85 – 90%, risk free rate of 1.51% and an expected term of 2.75 years.

On February 27, 2017, the Company issued 15,000,000 shares of restricted common stock subject to forfeiture to its CEO and President. The expense of these shares is not recorded until the terms of forfeiture have been satisfied by the respective employees. Those terms of the stock issuances and forfeitures are materially as follows:

 

To fully earn 10,000,000 shares, the Company’s CEO serve with the Company for a period of at least 12 months, during which 12 month or extended period: (1) the Company must complete at least $3 million in funding and (2) complete its first strategic acquisition. To fully earn 5,000,000 shares, the Company’s President must continue to serve the Company as a senior executive on a full-time basis for a period of at least 18 months from December 2016, during which 18 month or extended period: (1) the Company must complete at least $3 million in funding and (2) complete its first strategic acquisition. If these conditions are not met, the executives may forfeit all of their shares at the discretion of the Board.

 

In April 2017, the Company issued 1,738,195 shares of common stock valued at $260,679 as consideration for the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses to former employees and vendors.

On May 1, 2017, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $209,600 to a consultant for investor relations services.

 

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company has 600 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, which currently are convertible at $0.15 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Price”), as per the terms of the March 2017 Modification and Extension Agreement. The Preferred Stock bears a 6% dividend per annum, calculable and payable per quarter in cash or additional shares of common stock as determined in the Certificate of Designation. The Preferred Stock has no voting rights until converted to common stock, and has a liquidation preference equal to the Purchase Price. On the second anniversary of the Original Issue Dates (the “Two Year Redemption Date”), which occur in December 2017 and January 2018, the Company is obligated to redeem all of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, for an amount in cash equal to the Two Year Redemption Amount (such redemption, the “Two Year Redemption”). Each share of Preferred Stock received warrants (the “Warrants”) equal to one-half of the Purchase Price to purchase common stock in the Company exercisable for five (5) years following closing at a price of $0.50 per share.

 

The Preferred Stock has price protection provisions in the case that the Company issues any shares of stock not pursuant to an “Exempt Issuance” at a price below the Conversion Price. Exempt Issuances include: (i) shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents issued pursuant to the Merger or any funding contemplated by the Merger; (ii) any common stock or convertible securities outstanding as of the date of closing; (iii) common stock or common stock equivalents issued in connection with strategic acquisitions; (iv) shares of common stock or equivalents issued to employees, directors or consultants pursuant to a plan, subject to limitations in amount and price; and (v) other similar transactions. The Certificate of Designation contains restrictive covenants not to incur certain debt, repurchase shares of common stock, pay dividends or enter into certain transactions with affiliates without consent of holders of 67% of the Preferred Stock. The unconverted shares of Preferred Stock must be redeemed in two years from issuance.

 

Management has determined that the Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt security than equity primarily because it contains a mandatory 2-year redemption at the option of the holder, which only occurs if the Preferred Stock is not converted to common stock. Therefore, management has presented the Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity as mezzanine equity, which does not factor in to the totals of either liabilities or equity. In 2016, the proceeds were allocated between the three features of the stock offering: the embedded conversion feature in the Preferred Stock, the warrants, and the Preferred Stock itself. The fair values of the embedded conversion feature and warrants were recorded as a discount against the stated value of the Preferred Stock on the date of issuance. This discount was amortized to interest expense over the term of the redemption period (2 years), which would result in the accretion of the Preferred Stock to its full redemption value. Unamortized discount as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $56,894 and $126,217, respectively. Interest expense related to the preferred stock discount for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $69,323 and $68,261, respectively.

 

In accordance with ASU 2017-11, the embedded conversion feature of the Preferred Stock previously classified and fair valued as a derivative liability has been retrospectively adjusted by means of a cumulative-effect to the consolidated balance sheet as January 1, 2017. The cumulative change effect of $42,925 is recognized as an adjustment of the opening balance of accumulated deficit for the year. The agreement setting forth the terms of the common stock warrants issued to the holders of the Preferred Stock also includes an anti-dilution provision that requires a reduction in the warrant’s exercise price, currently $0.50, should the conversion ratio of the Preferred Stock be adjusted due to anti-dilution provisions. In accordance with ASU 2017-11, these warrants previously classified and fair valued as a derivative liability have been retrospectively adjusted by means of a cumulative-effect to the consolidated balance sheet as January 1, 2017. The cumulative change effect of $69,957 is recognized as an adjustment of the opening balance of accumulated deficit for the year.

 

The Preferred Stock also carries a 6% per annum dividend calculated on the stated value of the stock and is cumulative and payable quarterly beginning July 1, 2016. These dividends are accrued at each reporting period. They add to the redemption value of the stock; however, as the Company shows an accumulated deficit, the charge has been recognized in additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 10 – STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 

On July 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of Q2P approved the Founders Stock Option Plan (“Founders Plan”) and the 2014 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2014 Plan”), collectively the “Option Plans”. The Option Plans were developed to provide a means whereby directors and selected employees, officers, consultants, and advisors of the Company may be granted incentive or non-qualified stock options to purchase restricted common stock of the Company. On February 25, 2016, to accommodate the appointment of new Board members and additional incentive stock options and stock grants to key employees of the Company, the Board approved the 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), which allowed for an additional 4 million shares of common stock, stock options, stock rights (restricted stock units), or stock appreciation rights to be granted by the Board in its discretion.

 

In May 2017, the Company issued 400,000 common stock options under the 2016 Plan to one new Board member and 400,000 common stock options under the 2016 Plan to one new Board of Advisor Member. The options vest one-half immediately and the balance in 6 months, with a 10-year term and exercisable at $0.21 per share. The options were valued at $96,800 (pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model, and as shown in the table detailing the calculation of fair value below), based on an exercise price of $0.21 per share and with a maturity life of 5.25 years.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the charge to the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the amortization of stock option grants awarded under the Option Plans and 2016 Plan was $145,718.

 

A summary of the common stock options issued under the Option Plans and the 2016 Plan for the period from December 31, 2016 through June 30, 2017 follows:

The fair value of new stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was calculated using the following assumptions:

 

    Six Months Ended
June 30, 2017
 
Risk free interest rate     1.84 %
Expected volatility     101.2 %
Expected dividend yield     0 %
Expected term in years     5.25  
Average value per options   $ 0.10  

 

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s own common stock. Short Term U.S. Treasury rates were utilized as the risk free interest rate. The expected term of the options was calculated using the alternative simplified method codified as ASC 718 “ Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, ” which defined the expected life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all issuances.

 

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On April 1, 2017, the Company entered into new Employment Agreements with its Chairman and, as of July 2017, CEO; and its previous CEO and, as of July 2017, President and General Counsel. The Chairman receives a $12,500 per month fee starting April 1 and continuing until the Company raises its next round of funding in the minimum amount of $5,000,000, at which time, his base salary will be increased to $350,000 per year. The President and General Counsel receives a $10,000 per month fee starting on April 1, and at such time that the Company raises its next round of funding in the minimum amount of $5,000,000, he will receive a base salary of $220,000 per year. Both agreements have provisions for a 12-month severance in the instance either executive is terminated without cause or after a change in control.

 

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In July 2017, the Company created an Audit Committee by resolution of the full Board of Directors and implemented an Audit Committee Charter to provide written guidance for the Committee.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s plans, estimates and beliefs, and actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

 

The Company’s operating subsidiary, Q2P, was originally formed in April 2010 in the state of Florida as a limited liability company called “Cyclone-WHE LLC.” The purpose of the Company at such time was essentially the same as it was through most of 2016: to complete research and development on its waste-to-power technology with the goal of pursuing business opportunities in the renewable power sector. The Company re-domiciled to Delaware as a corporation in April 2014, formally split from its former parent in July 2014, and changed its name to “Q2Power Corp.” in February 2015. It is licensed to do business in Florida, where it maintains an office.

 

On November 12, 2015, Q2P consummated its Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Company (then called Anpath Group, Inc.) and the Company’s newly formed and wholly-owned subsidiary, AnPath Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Subsidiary”), resulting in the Merger Subsidiary merging with and into Q2P. As a result, Q2P was the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AnPath (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, all outstanding shares of Q2P were exchanged for 24,034,475 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 93% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, excluding stock options, warrants and convertible notes outstanding at such time. In addition, the Company assumed both the Q2P 2014 Founders Stock Option Plan and the 2014 Employees Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plans”), and 1,095,480 options outstanding thereunder. As of the date of the Merger, the officers and directors of Q2P took over the management and Board of Directors of the Company.

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company sold the former operating entity of Anpath, ESI, to three former officers and shareholders of Anpath in exchange for the return of 470,560 shares of common stock of the Company and ESI retaining all of the old liabilities of ESI including a litigation judgment. In December 2015, the Company officially changed its name to Q2Power Technologies, Inc. to reflect the new business direction of the Company – that of Q2P – after the Merger. In February 2016, the Company changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31 to reflect the year-end of its operating Subsidiary, and up-listed its common stock to the OTCQB. The financial statements and footnotes to the financial statements reflect this change of fiscal year end.

 

Since May 2016, the Company began to pursue opportunities in business of manufacturing of compost and soils from biosolids and other waste streams. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company received and fulfilled its first paid services contract to provide a feasibility study for the manufacturing of soils from a large-scale development project; and also signed two letters of intent providing for an exclusivity period to acquire two separate compost manufacturing companies in the southeastern United States. Moving forward, the Company intends to phase out its R&D activities, including the possibility of selling its waste-to-power technology, and focus entirely on the business of compost and engineered soils manufacturing and sales.

 

In May 2017, the Company completed its Convertible Promissory Note “Bridge” offering (the “Bridge Offering”) with $1,450,000 of new cash raised and an additional $191,908 in old debt converted into the round. Discussion of the Bridge Offering is provided in “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Funds from the Bridge Offering are sufficient to provide for operations for the Company through at least the end of 2017, including advancing its strategy to acquire cash-flowing composting businesses.

 

A. Plan of Operation

 

In the second half of 2016, the Company announced that it had taken several important steps to expand its business model into the commercial composting and sustainable soils sector. This included starting an alliance with a leading company in this space based in Georgia, and adding a key advisor with over 40 years of experience in this industry to our team. Two of the Company’s independent Directors also have significant experience and contacts in waste water, biosolids, waste management and other areas that are synergistic and overlapping with composting.

 

  19  
 

 

In August 2016, the Company, ERTH Products LLC and Exceptional Products Inc. (the “ERTH Companies”), entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) contemplating the acquisition of the ERTH Companies by the Company. The ERTH Companies, based in Georgia, manufacture agricultural compost and engineered soils for the construction industry from waste water biosolids. The Company also added Wayne King Sr., the founder of the ERTH Companies, to the Company’s Board of Advisors. The exclusivity period of this LOI has been extended from September 30, 2017 until September 30, 2018 by agreement of the parties.

 

In June 2017, the Company and Environmental Turnkey Solutions (“ETS”) entered into an LOI contemplating the acquisition of ETS by the Company. The LOI contains an exclusivity period that has been extended through September 30, 2018. The Company and ETS are currently in negotiations to consummate a definitive acquisition agreement.

 

During the second half of 2017, the Company expects to advance its plans to consolidate companies in the compost and soil manufacturing business by completing these or other acquisitions. Management believes these plans have a greater likelihood of success since the completion of its Bridge Offering in May 2017, as the Company now has funding to staff diligence operations and advance contract negotiations, and to set up at least one of these acquisitions for a possible closing in the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

The Company’s strategy in composting and sustainable soils is supported by a Research & Markets report published May 2016 stating that the global market for these products — specifically engineered soils, of which composting is a major component — is projected to reach $7.8 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2016 to 2021. The growth of this market is being driven by soil productivity, water conservation and pollution concerns in the United States and worldwide. According to these and other reports, 99 million acres (28% of all cropland) in the U.S. are eroding above soil tolerance rates, meaning the long-term productivity of the soil cannot be maintained and new soil is not adequately replacing the lost soil. This erosion reduces the ability of the soil to support plant growth and hold water, adding significant pressure on this critical depleting resource. Further, soils produced with compost are being used with more frequency in construction, infrastructure and land reclamation projects to reduce costs, accelerate permitting, and create more sustainable landscapes. Management sees an opportunity in the composting and engineered soils markets to build a strong, cash flowing company, while also benefitting the environment.

 

In connection with these new plans the Company has also reduced its R&D overhead in 2016, including scaling back all of its engineering and technical personnel in order to dedicate more resources to pursuing partnerships and acquisitions in the compost industry. Management anticipates that this plan may help get the Company to consistent revenue and profitability quicker, and increase shareholder value over the short and long term.

 

Management continues to believe that the Company’s engine and power system technology is viable as a commercial product, targeted to many of the same customers that the Company plans to work with in the composting business. These include waste water treatment plants that produce methane, and can benefit from the conversion of that otherwise flared fuel to electricity and process heat. The IP that the Company has licensed and developed over the last three years is a valuable asset which we may sell to the right buyer at the right time. In March 2017, the Company began discussions to sell its technology to one such party, but no agreement has been reached as of the date of filing this Report.

 

In January 2017, the Company transferred its sales agreement with MagneGas to Phoenix Power Group (“Phoenix”), a licensee of the Company’s technology. Under this agreement, Phoenix assumed all responsibility and liabilities associated with delivering a waste-to-power system to the customer utilizing the Company’s technology, and will receive any additional fees paid by the customer for successful performance. Phoenix released the Company of approximately $250,000 in deferred revenue liabilities in connection with this contract assignment, and agreed to certain royalty fees payable to the Company for sales of the engine and system. This release from performance was recorded as a component of gain from extinguishment of liabilities in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

From July 1 through December 31, 2017, management expects to spend approximately $500,000 on operations, not including funds required to close the previously discussed or future acquisitions, which may require as much as $10 million in capital to complete if all potential targets are included. Our average monthly burn-rate through the end of the year, not including acquisition costs, is approximately $75,000 per month. Additional amounts will be spent on signing LOI’s containing exclusivity periods with potential acquisition targets.

In May 2017, the Company completed its Bridge Offering with $1,450,000 of new cash raised and an additional $191,908 in old debt converted into the round. Discussion of the Bridge Offering is provided in “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Funds from the Bridge Offering are sufficient to provide for operations for the Company through at least the end of 2017, which includes advancing its strategy to acquire cash-flowing composting businesses, but not closing such acquisitions forecasted in Q4 2017. Consummation of these acquisitions would require up to $10 million in additional capital, which management is in the process of securing.

 

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

 

Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded revenue of $37,980 from the completion of a service agreement in the soil business. The Company had no revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

 

The Company recorded loss from operations of $606,929 in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $108,153 (15%) from our loss from operations of $715,082 in the same period in 2016. Additionally, the Company realized additional interest expense in the 2017 period, and a net loss on the change in fair value of the convertible bridge notes of $625,277, which was offset by a gain on extinguishment of liabilities of $51,833, that resulted in a net loss of $1,270,650 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $1,681,816 (409%) from our net income of $411,166 for the same period in 2016. Some of the principal factors behind these results included, higher professional fees, higher interest as well as the change in fair value of the convertible bridge notes.

 

As noted above, included in the expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were the following material items: payroll decreased to $69,985 in 2017 from $226,181 in the prior year (69%), which was principally due to the reduction of staff and management in 2017. Professional fees increased to $493,681 in 2017, from $294,820 in the prior year period (67%) due primarily to the Company’s increased investment related activities in the 2017 period; and research and development decreased to $0 in 2017 from $122,300 in the previous year period (100%) due to the termination of R&D activities at the end of 2016.

 

Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded $37,980 in revenue from the completion of a service agreement in the soil business. The Company recorded $40,000 in revenue in the same period in 2016.

 

The Company recorded loss from operations of $747,412 in the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $580,803 (44%) from our loss from operations of $1,328,215 in the same period in 2016. Additionally, the Company realized additional interest expense in the 2017 period, and a net loss on the change in fair value of the convertible bridge notes of $625,277, which were offset by a gain on extinguishment of liabilities of $358,145, that resulted in a net loss of $1,151,104 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $355,483 (45%) from our net loss of $795,621 for the same period in 2016.Some of the principal factors behind these results included, lower payroll, higher professional fees and no R&D expenses as well as the settlement of liabilities and change in fair value of the convertible bridge notes 2017.

 

As noted above, included in the expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were the following material items: payroll decreased to $114,763 in 2017 from $442,167 in the prior year (74%), which was principally due to the reduction of staff and management in 2017. Professional fees increased to $535,418 in 2017, from $516,054 in the prior year period (4%) due primarily to the Company’s increased investment related activities in the 2017 period; and research and development decreased to $0 in 2017 from $309,429 in the previous year period (100%) due to the termination of R&D activities at the end of 2016.

 

Balance Sheet

 

Material changes in the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2017 over December 31, 2016 included: closing of $1,450,000 in the Company’s Bridge Offering in May 2017 (not inclusive of an additional conversion of $191,908 in previously recorded notes, advances and payables from three board members and three investors for a total issuance of Bridge Offering debentures of $1,641,908); an decrease of $542,140 in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by settlements and conversions of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $67,040; and a decrease of $300,000 in deferred revenue from the transfer of the MagneGas Agreement and release from the Phoenix agreement. Total liabilities as of June 30, 2017 were $2,881,368, as compared to $1,778,703 as of December 31, 2016.

 

  21  
 

 

Primarily as a result of the $1,151,104 net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017, accumulated deficit was $8,402,873, at June 30, 2017, resulting in total stockholders’ deficit at the period end of $2,431,466.

 

Results of Operations

 

Since July 2014, the Company through Q2P has primarily devoted its efforts to commercializing the Q2P engine and CHP system, developing its waste-to-power business model, and recruiting executive management and key employees. As a new entity, the Company has limited current business operations and nominal assets. The Company currently operates at a loss with minimal to no revenue.

 

Since the change in business direction to focus on strategic partnerships and acquisitions in the compost and soil manufacturing space, the Company has reduced its operating expenses from approximately $150,000 per month to approximately $75,000 per month by laying-off engineering employees and terminating our R&D budget, which is off-set in part by added expenses in connection with our acquisition plans. As of the date of this Report, our CEO and President are receiving fees as consultants, even though they spend virtually all of their time on Company operations. We also have one additional financial consultant, who serves as the Principal Accounting Officer. Other expenses include legal and accounting, payment of fees for exclusivity and LOIs with acquisition targets, and other general expenses. We have also used equity, including common stock and stock options, to pay some expenses over the last year; and we reduced $95,612 in payables settlements of stock and assets over the past year.

 

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of $1,151,104 was off-set by non-cash operating expenses of: $145,718 in stock option grants and related amortization expense, $625,277 from the net change in fair value of the bridge subscriptions, $22,852 of depreciation and amortization, and a $31,699 net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. As a result, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $487,370 in the first half of 2017.

 

With respect to our technology, in January 2017, the Company transferred its sales agreement with MagneGas to Phoenix Power Group, a licensee of the Company’s technology. Under this agreement, Phoenix assumed all responsibility and liabilities associated with delivering a waste-to-power system to the customer, and will receive any additional fees paid by the customer for successful performance. Phoenix released the Company of approximately $250,000 in deferred revenue liabilities in connection with this contract assignment, and agreed to certain royalty fees payable to the Company for sales of the engine and system. In March 2017, the Company began discussions to sell its technology to a third party, but no agreement has been reached as of the date of filing this Report, and management may choose not to sell the Company’s IP if other opportunities arise.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s funds as of the date of this filing are sufficient to support operations through at least the end of 2017 and possibly into the first quarter of 2018. However, the Company will need to raise additional capital to close its initial acquisitions and support operations through 2018; therefore, management believes there is currently a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to operate as a going concern. See “Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Going Concern” in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Since July 2014, Q2P has raised in excess of $6 million in capital over several financings, inclusive of cash invested and some debt and payables converted to stock. With these funds, the Company has been able to complete the prototype stage of its original technology, place our first operating pilot unit in the field, recruit a solid engineering and business team, and secure strong Directors with significant industry experience. Specifically with the closing of our Bridge Offering, described below, we have also been able to pivot our business model to the compost and soil manufacturing business, and secure letters of intent to acquire operating compost companies.

 

Bridge Financing. In May 2017, the Company completed its Bridge Offering with $1,450,000 of new cash raised and an additional $191,908 in old debt converted into the round.

 

  22  
 

 

The Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) convert at a 50% discount to the post-funding valuation of the Company at the closing of its next offering in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (the “Equity Offering”). The conversion valuation has a ceiling of $12,000,000, and a “floor” company value of $6,000,000 in the event there is no Equity Offering before the Notes are able to be converted.

 

The Notes convert into common stock, or preferred stock if received by investors in the Equity Offering, commencing on the earliest of the Equity Offering closing or December 31, 2017, at the discretion of the holder. Maturity is 36 months from issuance with 15% annual interest which will be capitalized each year into the principal of the Notes and paid in kind. There are no warrants issued in connection with the Offering.

 

Funds from the Bridge Offering will be used to secure acquisitions of compost and soil companies with closings expected to occur concurrently with the closing of the Equity Offering, and up to 12 months of operating capital. A limited portion of the funds will also be used to eliminate liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

The Offering was led by two accredited investors, and joined by approximately 25 additional accredited investors which included the Company’s Directors. Management conducted the Offering and no broker fees were paid in connection with the initial closing. All securities issued in the Offering and debt settlements were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Company’s Prior Financings. During the year ended December 31, 2014, Q2P raised $353,501 in its initial Seed Round Funding, excluding transaction costs of $51,000, in a convertible debt security, which automatically converted to common stock at a post-Merger equivalent of approximately $0.35 per share on September 30, 2014.

 

Q2P raised $1,416,367 at a post-Merger stock price equivalent of approximately $0.79 per share in its Series A Funding Round during the year ended December 31, 2014. Direct offering costs related to the Series A Funding Round were $30,000. In January 2015, Q2P closed a continuation round of its Series A Funding, whereby it raised an additional $362,360 at the same price and terms.

 

In May 2015, Q2P’s Board of Directors authorized a Rights Offering whereby each shareholder of Q2P received one Subscription Right for each share of common stock owned as of that date. The Subscription Rights allowed participating shareholders to purchase three shares of common stock in Q2P at a post-Merger stock price equivalent of approximately $0.18. The Rights Offering closed on June 3, 2015, at which time Subscriptions from approximately 90% of the Q2P shareholders totaling $1,061,975 had been received, inclusive of $821,516 in cash, the cancellation of $83,158 and $103,251 of payables and accrued expenses incurred in 2014 for outside and employee services, respectively, and $54,050 of subscriptions receivable. Transaction costs associated with the Rights Offering totaled $10,000.

 

At the time of the Merger, Q2P had 70,689,632 shares of common stock outstanding, which converted to 24,034,475 shares of the Company pursuant to the Merger. Shares purchased in the Rights Offering accounted for approximately 75% of the shares converted for Company common stock.

 

Subsequent to the Merger, the Company raised $600,000 in its Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) from two separate accredited investors in November 2015 and January 2016, respectively. The Preferred Stock was originally convertible at $0.26 per share at the discretion of the holders, and contains price protection provisions in the instance that the Company issues shares at a lower price, subject to certain exemptions. As a result of the July 2016 common stock offering described below, the conversation price for these Preferred Shares automatically reduced to $0.21 per share, and as a result of the Bridge Offering, the conversion price was reset to $0.15 per share. Preferred Stock holders also received other rights and protections including piggy-back registration rights, rights of first refusal to invest in subsequent offerings, security over the Company’s assets (secondary to the Company’s debt holders), and certain negative covenant guaranties that the Company will not incur non-ordinary debt, enter into variable pricing security sales, redeem or repurchase stock or make distributions, and other similar warranties. The Preferred Stock is redeemable after two years if not converted, and has no voting rights until converted to common stock. The Preferred Stock holders also received 50% warrant coverage at an exercise price of $0.50, with a five-year term and similar price protections as in the Preferred Stock. Pursuant to agreements with the warrant holders, this conversion price remains at $0.50 as of June 30, 2017.

On January 11, 2016, the Company issued 100 shares of Preferred Stock to an accredited investor (the “Preferred Stock”) for $100,000. The Preferred Stock is currently convertible at $0.15 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Price”). In total, we have 600 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding to two investors. The Preferred Stock bears a 6% dividend per annum, calculable and payable per quarter in cash or additional shares of common stock as determined in the Certificate of Designation. The Preferred Stock has no voting rights until converted to common stock, and has a liquidation preference equal to the Purchase Price.

 

On March 15, 2016, the Company entered into a 120-day term loan agreement with one accredited investor in the principal amount of $150,000. The loan bears 20% interest with interest payments due monthly. The holders received loan issuance costs of a 100,000 share equity kicker valued at $26,000, $3,000 cash and a second security interest in the assets of the Company. This loan matured on July 15, 2016, and a 10% late penalty was assessed on July 15, 2016. On March 22, 2017, the Company and the lenders entered into an Addendum to the loan agreement which extended the maturity date to December 31, 2017, allowed for conversion at the discretion of the holders to common stock at a price of $0.15 per share, and waived all defaults in return for payment of $30,000 which included the late fee and accrued but unpaid interest. These fees and interest payments were paid in April 2017, and the loan is now current.

 

On April 29, 2016, the Company’s three independent Directors loaned to the Company a total of $60,200 pursuant to three Convertible Notes which are automatically convertible into the equity securities issued in the Company’s next financing of at least $1,000,000 at the same price and same terms. The Convertible Notes bear 8% interest and have a 10% Original Issuance Discount. The total principal amount of all three Notes was $66,000. The Notes mature in six months, and can be converted to common stock at $0.26 per share if a qualified financing event has not occurred by such time. In June 2016, three other shareholders of the Company provided an additional $30,000 to the Company on the same loan terms. All but two of these notes in the principal amount of $22,000 were converted into the Company’s recent Bridge Offering.

 

In July and August 2016, the Company received subscription agreements from six accredited investors (four of whom were previous shareholders) to purchase 750,000 shares of restricted common at a price of $.21 per share for an aggregate of $157,500, less $610 in financing costs.

 

In September 2016, the Company’s three independent Board members advanced the Company $3,000 for payment of insurance premiums. In the fourth quarter of 2016 and first quarter of 2017, the three Board members advanced an additional $29,500 to cover expenses. All of these advances were converted into the Company’s recent Bridge Offering.

 

All promissory notes and shares in these offerings were sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Exchange Commission under Regulation D to accredited or sophisticated investors who completed questionnaires confirming their status. Unless otherwise described in this Current Report, reference to “restricted” common stock means that the shares have not been registered and are restricted from resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Separation from Cyclone and Related License Agreement

 

On July 28, 2014, Q2P (which at such time was called WHE Generation Corp., and renamed Q2Power Corp. on January 26, 2015) commenced operations as an independent company after receiving its initial round of seed funding and signing a formal separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) from Cyclone. The Separation Agreement between Q2P and Cyclone provided for a formal division of certain assets, liabilities and contracts related to Q2P’s business, as well as establishing procedures for exchange of information, indemnification of liability, and releases and waivers for the principals moving forward. As part of the separation from Cyclone, Q2P also purchased for $175,000 certain licensing rights to use Cyclone’s patented technology on a worldwide, exclusive basis for 20 years with two 10-year renewal terms for Q2P’s waste heat and waste-to-power business (the “License Agreement”). The License Agreement contains a royalty provision equal to 5% of gross sales payable to Cyclone on sales of engines derived from technology licensed from Cyclone.

 

Also, as part of the separation from Cyclone, Q2P assumed a license agreement between Cyclone and Phoenix Power Group, which included deferred revenue of $250,000 from payments previously made to Cyclone for undelivered products. The net balances as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for the Cyclone licensing rights were $47,396 and $69,271, respectively. The licensing rights are amortized over its estimated useful life of 4 years.

Accumulated amortization for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $127,604 and $105,729, respectively. The net balances as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for the Phoenix deferred revenue were $0 and $250,000, respectively, due to the release of this contract liability item with the transfer of the Magnegas contract to Phoenix in January 2017.

 

The Company also assumed a contract with Clean Carbon of Australia and a corresponding $10,064 prepayment for services or other value to be provided in the future. This deposit has been presented as deferred revenue on the June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Cash and Working Capital

 

We have incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8,328,397. Details of this are discussed above in the Balance Sheet disclosure.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Disclosures regarding our Critical Accounting Policies are provided in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the footnotes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company did not engage in any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) as of June 30, 2017.

 

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in 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 and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedure were not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO, version 2013.

 

Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Principal Accounting Officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
   
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and
   
  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

  25  
 

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

The Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013 (“COSO”). As a result of this assessment, management identified certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control 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. The identified material weakness is disclosed below:

 

Management is understaffed to perform the necessary accounting, including preparation of the required financial disclosures, in a timely manner.

 

As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

 

The Company is in the process of addressing and correcting this material weakness. Management will be diligent in its efforts to continue to improve the reporting processes of the Company, including the continued development of proper accounting policies and procedures.

 

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

In July 2017, the Company created an Audit Committee by resolution of the full Board of Directors and implemented an Audit Committee Charter to provide written guidance for the Committee. Joel Mayersohn was named Chairman of the Audit Committee. Messrs. Scott Whitney and Tristan Peitz were named Committee members. All of these individuals are independent Board members. Management believes that the establishment of this independent Audit Committee will help strengthen our internal control over financial reporting in future periods.

part II – other information

 

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding and, to the knowledge of our management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against us. No director, executive officer, affiliate of ours, or owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of our common stock is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to us in any proceeding.

 

When the Company sold the ESI subsidiary to three former shareholders following the Merger, that company had a judgment against it from a litigation brought in the Superior Court of the County of Iredell, North Carolina, seeking payment of wages of approximately $25,000, together with vacation pay, the value of health insurance benefits and medical expenses. On April 10, 2015, the Court entered judgment against ESI in favor of the plaintiff. Claims made by the plaintiff against AnPath (the Company at that time) and certain of the officers and directors of Anpath at that time were dismissed by the Court. The Company does not believe it has any liability in this matter, and that the judgment was properly retained by ESI in the sale; however, the judgment is still outstanding and management cannot guaranty that it will not be brought back into the litigation or collection efforts in the future.
