LEO MOTORS, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FIANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2017

 

NOTE 1 - COMPANY BACKGROUND

 

Leo Motors, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) is currently in development, assembly and sales of the energy storage devices and electric vehicle components.

 

The Company was originally incorporated in California as N. Org., Inc. on December 12, 1983. The Company then underwent several name changes from Natural Organics Corporation to Classic Auto Accessories of North America and then to FCR Automotive Group, Inc. On September 20, 2004, the Company reincorporated  in  Delaware by merging into FCR Group, Inc.,  a  Delaware Automotive corporation,  which  was  organized  on  September  8, 2004. On July  26,  2005,  the  Company acquired Shinil Precision Co., Ltd., a Korean Company,  as  its  operating  business  and on July 18, 2005, changed its name to Shinil  Precision Machinery, Inc. to reflect its anticipated new business. Upon failure of certain terms  and  conditions  of  the acquisition agreement, the Company  returned the shares of Shinil and recovered and cancelled the Company's shares  issued  in  the  acquisition. In 2012, the Company changed its domicile to Nevada.

 

The Company had been dormant since 1989, and consummated a reverse merger on November 12, 2007 with Leozone Inc., a South Korean company (“Leozone”), which is the maker of electrical transportation devices. The merger essentially exchanges shares in Leo Motors, Inc. for shares in Leozone. As this is a reverse merger the accounting treatment of such is that of a combination of the two entities with the activity of Leozone, the surviving entity, going forward. The financial statements reflect the activity for all periods presented as if the merger had occurred January 1, 2007. Leozone has continued to operate as a separate subsidiary, Leo Motors Co. Ltd. of Korea (“Leo Korea”) since that time.

 

On February 11, 2010, the Company acquired 50% of Leo B&T Corp., a South Korean corporation (“B&T”), from two shareholders of B&T in exchange for 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Our ownership in B&T was reduced to 30% in 2011. Additionally, this investment was written down as impairment expense during 2011 and the remaining investment was exchanged in 2012 for a return of Leo Motors stock.

 

On November 10, 2012, the Company signed an agreement with PDI C&D/RDC SPRL Inc. ("PDI"), an affiliate of PDI Global LLC, a major architectural design company in the U.S., to supply an independent solar power system grafted with the Company’s E-Box power storage device for a housing project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC"). The Company will have a 10% interest in the overall project. This project has incurred an impairment charge as details in these footnotes.

 

On July 1, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of LGM Co. Ltd., a corporation incorporated in the Republic of Korea (“LGM”), from LGM’s shareholders, which represents 813,747 shares of LGM common stock, in exchange for 47,352,450 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Share Swap Agreement entered into by and between LGM and the Company. Upon closing of the Share Swap Agreement, LGM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On March 31, 2015, the Company acquired 50% interest in each of  Leo Motors Factory, Inc. (“Leo Factory 1”) and Leo Motors Factory 2, Inc. (“Leo Factory 2”) which are auto repair shops that specialize in repairing hand-made luxury cars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche, and Rolls Royce. The Company also acquired 50% interest in Leo Trading Inc. (formerly Erum Motors, Inc.) (“Leo Trading”) specializing in the trading of luxury cars. These acquired entities will be presented on a consolidated basis as the parent company has significant control of the business through the Board of Directors which can decide decisions split on strictly on common share ownership percentages.

 


6


 

 

The Company acquired Leo AIC Co., Ltd. (“Leo AIC”)(formerly known as Lelcon) on June 3, 2016, which became a subsidiary of the Company. With the acquisition, the Company was engaged in connected car and artificial intelligence (AI) related businesses for a smart city. On March 8, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of a startup corporation owned by its director called Leo Members, Inc (“Leo Members”). This new wholly owned subsidiary then exchanged interest with Leo Motors in Leo Factory 1, Leo Factory 2, and Leo Trading in a common control transaction.

 

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016.

This summary of significant account policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and the notes are the representation of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“USGAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

These financial statements and related notes are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Leo Korea, LGM, Leo Factory 1, Leo Factory 2, Leo Trading, Leo Members, and Leo AIC. The Company has significant control of all subsidiaries through direct as well as indirect stock ownership and voting board control from parent board members at the subsidiary level.  All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable inventory and prepaid expenses, accounts payable and deferred revenues, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company.

 


7


 

 

The Company generates revenue from the delivery of goods and records revenues when the sales are completed, already collected or collectability is reasonably assured, there is no future obligation and there is remote chance of future claim or refund to the customers.

 

Revenue is recognized when risk of ownership and title pass to the buyer, generally upon the delivery of professional services. Pricing is fixed and determinable according to the Company’s published brochures and price lists.

 

Accounts Receivables

 

Accounts receivables of the Company are reviewed to determine if their carrying value has become impaired.  The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the balances are greater than one-year old. Management regularly reviews accounts receivable and will establish an allowance for potentially uncollectible amounts when appropriate. When accounts are written off, they will be charged against the allowance.

 

Receivables are not collateralized and do not bear interest.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalent.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).

 

The Company will periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. We use an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.

 

Intangible and Long Lived Assets

 

The Company follows ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Through June 30, 2017, the Company has impaired goodwill on three of its acquisitions reflected by their recurring losses for those entities.

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year; and, (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under ASC 740-10 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. A liability (including interest and penalties, if applicable) is established to the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position. Related interest and penalties, if any, are included as components of income tax expense and income taxes payable.

 

Loss per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of both common and preferred stock outstanding for the period.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consist mostly of items purchased as finished goods and used in the repair of automobiles and boats and are recorded at cost and is valued using the first in, first out method.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” establishes and encourages the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as of the date of grant and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered. For stock based compensation the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant. Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Foreign Currency Translation And Comprehensive Income

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the US$. The functional currency of the parent company is the US$ and the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries is the Korean Won (“KRW”). The subsidiaries results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the year, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the year, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the functional currency financial statements into US$ are included in determining comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. The Company does not enter any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change. The Company currently does not have any recent accounting pronouncements that they are studying and feel may be applicable.

 

NOTE 3 - DUE TO RELATED PARTY

 

The company is indebted to its officer for advances. There are various advances and repayments throughout the periods in small amounts. They are all short term in nature and provide working capital to the various subsidiaries. Repayment is on demand without interest. The balance was $410,546 at June 30, 2017 and $358,680 at December 31, 2016. There are no other related party transactions.

 

NOTE 4 - PAYMENTS RECEIVED IN ADVANCE

 

The Company during the periods received payments from potential customers, or deposits, on future orders. The Company’s policy is to record these payments as a liability until the product is completed and shipped to the customer at which the Company recognizes revenue. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance of payments received in advance was $169,294 and $386,624, respectively.


10


NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN

 

As reported in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficits of $34,341,025 as of June 30, 2017 and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets. These negative trends have been consistent over the last few years except for asset sales.

 

These factors create uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable and to create operations that contribute capital from normal operations. If the Company cannot obtain adequate capital it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, develop and generate revenues and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the  Company  include  (1) raising additional capital through sales of common stock, (2) converting  promissory notes into  common  stock  and (3) entering into acquisition agreements  with profitable  entities  with   significant   operations.   In   addition, management is continually seeking to streamline its operations and expand the business through a variety of industries, including real estate and financial management.

 

However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

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

 

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 10 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.  The Company increased goodwill as a result of its 2016 first quarter acquisition by $612,445 but also impaired the goodwill on its 2015 acquisitions. The company has retained the goodwill from its LGM acquisition which has substantial market value assets in excess of carrying cost. The Company added to the value of its intangibles in the six months ended June 30, 2017 with development costs associated with its intangibles.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Financial Statements”).  The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (“GAAP”).  Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following management discussion and analysis are quoted in United States dollars.

 

Overview

 

Leo Motors, Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada Corporation incorporated on September 8, 2004.  The Company established a wholly-owned operating subsidiary in Korea named Leo Motors Co. Ltd. ("Leo Korea") on July 1, 2006.  Through Leo Korea, the Company is engaged in the research and development ("R&D") of multiple products, prototypes, and conceptualizations based on proprietary, patented and patent pending electric power generation, drive train and storage technologies.  Leo Korea operates through four unincorporated divisions: new product R&D, post R&D development such as product testing, production, and sales.

 


15


The Company's products include (i) E-Box electric energy storage system for solar and wind power generation devices; and (ii) Electric Vehicle ("EV") components that integrate electric batteries with electric motors such as EV Controllers that use a mini-computer to control torque drive.

 

The Company was previously actively engaged in the process of development and production of Electric Power Train Systems ("EPTS") encompassing electric scooters, electric sedans/SUVs/sports cars, and electric buses/trucks as well as several models of EV. Our EPTS can replace internal combustion engines ("ICEs").  Company began sales of EPTS to auto makers and agricultural machinery manufacturers.

 

The Company has developed eight EPTS of increasing power rating: 3kW, 5kW, 7.5kW, 15kW, 30kW, 60kW, 120kW, and 240kW systems.  Each EPTS consists of a motor, a controller, and a battery power pack with a battery management system ("BMS").

 

The Company has successfully converted existing models of small cars (ICEs under 2,000cc), and also a 24 seat bus.  The Company has begun marketing its 60kW power train kits (for compact passenger cars and small trucks) and its 120kW kits (for ICE passenger cars, buses, and trucks under 5,000cc). The Company has developed a 240kW kit (for up to 10,000cc buses and trucks) as well, and is attempting to locate a strategic partner to fund the testing and production.

 

The specific goals of the Company over the next twelve months include:

 

·  Focus on the capitalization of the Company;

·  Focus on the sale of the E-Boats, connected EV’s, intelligent poles, and smart parking tower system and E-Box;

·  Business development in China and in America by establishing a joint venture companies;

·  Continue with R&D of our EV's, E-Boats, connected car, products for smart cities and related products as capital permits.

 

The E-Box can be used as an energy supplying device in an emergency situations or as an energy storage device for use by the military; municipal and industry; corporate; solar/wind power storage; electric coolers and heaters; yachts or small ships. The E-Box is offered in three power classes: 1kw, 3kw and 5kw.  E-Boxes for 10kw and 550kw will be developed in the future.  The E-Box is environmentally friendly with high energy density due to the use of lithium-polymer battery.  The E-Box uses a multiple cell voltage balancing system via a BMS.

 

The Company is developing new battery exchange system using its patented cartridge battery exchange system which will solve the cost barriers of the electric vehicle to make them less expensive than their ICE counterparts and to help solve battery charging problems. With evolutionary batter exchange system, the Company's EV's can exchange battery within one minute using simple and low cost equipment. This technology can be best used in fleet managed vehicles such as city buses, taxis, and garbage trucks because it can be used any road sides. The Company is developing EV Ecosystem using connected car solution to provide the battery swap services for fleet operators such as rental cars, public companies, delivery companies, and post offices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our liquidity and capital resources are limited. Accordingly, our ability to initiate our plan of operations and continue as a going concern is currently dependent on our ability to either generate significant new revenues or raise external capital.

 

The three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $433,992 compared to $806,456 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to the decrease of the sales of Leo Factory 1, Leo Factory 2, Leo Trading and LGM.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 revenue was $832,943 compared to $1,552,162 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was due to the decrease of sales in LGM, Leo Trading, Leo Factory 1 and Leo Factory 2. The Company is in the process of adjusting its product line to benefit from its new subsidiary relationships.

 

Cost of Revenues

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has cash of $448,744 at June 30, 2017. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations the past two years.  These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 6.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Our liquidity and capital resources are limited. Accordingly, our ability to initiate our plan of operations and continue as a going concern is currently dependent on our ability to either generate significant new revenues or raise external capital through additional borrowing or the sale of additional equity.

 

The Company’s total current assets at June 30, 2017 were $3,458,989 and total current liabilities were $8,246,266. Significant losses from operations have been incurred since inception and there is an accumulated deficit of $34,341,015 as of June 30, 2017.  Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon attaining capital to achieve profitable operations while maintaining current fixed expense levels.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, as that term is defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.  

 

As of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. There was no change in our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during our last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . Our management, with the participation of our CEO and our CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective such that material information required to be disclosed is made known to management and others, as appropriate, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure and that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting . Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Our management, with the participation of the CEO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread way Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the CEO, concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective and there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.


20


The material weaknesses relate to the limited number of persons responsible for the recording and reporting of financial information, the lack of separation of financial reporting duties, and the limited size of our management team in general. We  are  in  the  process evaluating methods of improving our internal control  over  financial reporting, including the possible addition of financial reporting  staff  and  the  increased  separation  of  financial  reporting responsibility, and intend to implement such steps as are necessary and possible to  correct  these  material  weaknesses.

 

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.
