TORVEC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a development stage company)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A The Company and Basis of Presentation
|
|
The interim information contained herein with respect to the three month periods ended March 31,
2010 and 2009 and the period from September 25, 1996 (inception) through March 31, 2010 has not
been audited but was prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for financial statements. Included are ordinary
adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial information for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and since
inception. The results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire
year. Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
|
|
|
Torvec, Inc. (the company) was incorporated as a New York State business corporation in
September 1996. The company, which is in the development stage, has developed technology for use
in automotive applications. In September, 1996, the company acquired numerous patents,
inventions and know-how contributed by Vernon E. Gleasman, James Y. Gleasman and Keith E.
Gleasman (the Gleasmans). The company has developed, is refining and intends to commercialize
its infinitely variable transmissions, its pumps/motors, its IsoTorque differential, its
constant velocity joint and the substructure and components of its full terrain vehicle.
|
|
|
For the period from September 1996 (inception) through March 31, 2010, the company has
accumulated a deficit of $52,162,000, and at March 31, 2010 has working capital of $129,000 and
stockholders equity of $308,000. The company has been dependent upon equity financing and
advances from stockholders to meet its obligations and sustain operations. The companys efforts
are principally devoted to the ongoing refining of its technologies and commercializing its
products. Management believes that based upon its current cash position and its planned cash
outlays for its business operations, the company will be able to meet its anticipated cash
requirements through March 31, 2011. However, if its cash projections are less than expected,
the company may need to downsize operations, incur debt or raise additional capital. There can
be no assurance that the company will be successful in raising additional capital or incur debt
when needed on terms acceptable to the company.
|
|
|
The companys ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon achieving
profitable operations and generating sufficient cash flows from operations to continue to meet
its future obligations.
|
NOTE B Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
|
The financial statements include the accounts of the company, its
majority-owned subsidiary, Ice Surface Development, Inc. (56%
owned at March 31, 2010 and 2009), and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries Iso-Torque Corporation, IVT Diesel Corp. and
Variable Gear LLC. All material intercompany transactions and
account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
[2]
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of
deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less. The company maintains cash
and cash equivalents at financial institutions which periodically
may exceed federally insured amounts.
|
6
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Such estimates are used in valuing the useful lives of
its fixed assets and the future realizable value of such assets.
These estimates are subject to a high degree of judgment and
potential change. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
|
[4]
|
|
Earnings per Common Share:
|
|
|
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 260-10 (Previously known as: FASB
Statement 128, Earnings Per Share) requires the presentation of
basic earnings per share, which is based on common stock
outstanding, and dilutive earnings per share, which gives effect
to options, warrants and convertible securities in periods when
they are dilutive. For the three month periods ended March 31,
2010 and 2009 the company excluded 2,530,699 and 2,587,699
potential common shares, respectively, relating to convertible
preferred stock outstanding, options and warrants from its
diluted net loss per common share calculation because they are
anti-dilutive. The Company also excluded 625,000 warrants at
March 31, 2010 and 2009 as the conditions for their vesting were
not yet satisfied.
|
|
|
The company accounts for income taxes using the asset and
liability method described in FASB ASC 740-10 (Previously known
as: FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,) the
objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial
reporting and the tax bases of the companys assets and
liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when
such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance
related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. We adopted FASB ASC 740-10 (Previously known as:
FASB interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109) on January 1,
2008. As a result of the implementation of FASB ASC 740-10, we
recognized no adjustment for uncertain tax positions. As of March
31, 2010, we have not recognized an increase or decrease to
reserves for uncertain tax positions nor have we accrued interest
and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years
2007 through 2009 remain open to examination by the federal and
states tax jurisdictions to which we are subject.
|
[6]
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
|
|
|
The carrying amount of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximates their fair value due to the
short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the
notes payable is considered to approximate their fair value.
|
[7]
|
|
Stock-Based Compensation:
|
|
|
The companys Stock Option Plan was terminated as of May 27, 2008
as to the grant of additional options. 641,848 previously issued
and outstanding options remain exercisable in accordance with the
terms of the options.
|
|
|
ASC 718-10 requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as
compensation expense over the service period (generally the
vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on
their fair values on the grant date. The impact of forfeitures
that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered
in the amount recognized. In addition, the realization of tax
benefits in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting
purposes will be recognized as a financing activity in accordance
with ASC 718-10.
|
|
|
No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation
expense because a valuation allowance was maintained for
substantially all net deferred tax assets. We elected to adopt
the alternative method of calculating the historical pool of
windfall tax benefits as permitted by ASC 718-10-65 (Previously
known as: FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SFAS
123(R)-c,
Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of
Share-Based Payment Awards.) This is a simplified method to
determine the pool of windfall tax benefits that is used in
determining the tax effects of stock compensation in the results
of operations and cash flow reporting for awards that were
outstanding as of the adoption of ASC 718-10.
|

|
|
The companys terms provide that customers are obligated to pay
for products sold to them within a specified number of days from
the date that title to the products is transferred to the
customers. The companys standard terms are typically net 30
days. The company recognizes revenue when transfer of title
occurs, risk of ownership passes to a customer at the time of
shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the agreement with
a particular customer and collection is reasonably assured. The
sale price of the companys products is substantially fixed and
determinable at the date of the sale based upon purchase orders
generated by a customer and accepted by the company.
|
[9]
|
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
|
|
In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that
establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In
February 2010, the FASB amended the guidance and removed the
contradictions between the requirements of U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles U.S. GAAP (GAAP) and the
Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) filing rules. As a
result, public companies will no longer have to disclose the date
of evaluation of subsequent events in both issued and revised
financial statements.
|
NOTE C License from the Trustees of Dartmouth College
|
|
On November 28, 2000, the companys majority-owned subsidiary, Ice Surface Development LLC
(Ice Surface) entered into a 20-year exclusive license with the Trustees of Dartmouth
College for land-based applications to a novel ice adhesion modification system developed by
Dr. Victor Petrenko at Dartmouths Thayer School of Engineering. Under the license agreement
the company made a single payment of $140,000
in 2000 for sponsored research. The license agreement provided for a royalty of 3.5% based on
the value of net sales of licensed product with minimum annual payments of $10,000 for the
first two years, $15,000 for the third year and $25,000 per year through 2021. In addition,
the agreement provided for the payment of 50% of sub-license fee income.
|
|
|
Effective June 15, 2007, Ice Surface assigned the license to an unrelated company, Ice
Engineering, LLC (Ice Engineering) in exchange for Ice Engineerings agreement to pay the
shareholders of Ice Surface an annual royalty equal to 5% of the annual gross revenues
generated by the license and its agreement to assume the obligations to Dartmouth under the
license.
|
|
|
Separately, Ice Engineering, agreed to reimburse approximately
$3,500,000 of acquisition and maintenance costs expended by the
company in connection with the ice technology. Pursuant to the
reimbursement agreement, the company received $500,000 on June 15,
2007. Under the license assignment agreement, the $3,000,000 balance
is to be paid at the rate of $300,000 per quarter commencing March 1,
2008, less approximately $91,000 in fees payable to Dartmouth College
accrued through June 14, 2007 to be deducted from the first quarterly
reimbursement amount. The company received the first installment of
$209,000 due March 1, 2008 on April 3, 2008 and did not receive any
other installments.
|
|
|
On October 31, 2008, the company commenced an action in New York State Supreme Court, County
of New York, Commercial Division against Ice Engineering, seeking the total balance owed by
Ice Engineering to the company pursuant to the assignment agreement.
|
|
|
On January 27, 2010, the company and Ice Engineering settled this litigation. Under the
settlement agreement, the companys assignment of the ice technology license is made
permanent. The company elected to forego its right to royalties and agreed to receive
$1,100,000, with $300,000 paid to the company by Ice Engineering on January 27, 2010 and
$800,000 paid to the company by Ice Engineering on February 26, 2010.
|
|
|
The company recognized in this quarter the $1,100,000 received in 2010 in regard to the
settlement of the litigation. The company also recognized in this quarter the $800,000
previously recorded as deferred income in connection with the original contract for the
license (See Note G [2]).
|

NOTE D Related Party Transactions
[1]
|
|
Effective January 1, 2008, the board of directors instituted a
compensation plan for James and Keith Gleasman by which the
company would compensate each of them for services performed and
inventions and know-how transferred at the rate of $300,000 per
year. Actual payment under the plan was conditioned upon a board
determination that the company had the requisite cash, after the
complete funding of all ongoing projects, to make payment.
|
|
|
|
The company did not have the requisite cash available to pay the
Gleasmans compensation under this arrangement from January 1,
2008 through August 17, 2009, the date on which each of the
Gleasmans waived all rights and interest in and to the
board-created compensation plan, including all rights and
interest in and to the amount(s) under the plan accrued to such
date. As a result of such waiver, of the $942,000 accrued under
the plan at August 17, 2009, $900,000 was reclassified to equity
as a contribution of services and $42,000 accrued under the plan
for payroll taxes was recorded as a reduction to general and
administrative expenses.
|
|
|
|
For periods for which there is no compensation plan in effect for
the Gleasmans, the company is required to record the estimated
value of each of the Gleasmans services rendered to the company
(estimated at $300,000 each per annum) as a contribution of
services under generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to the company and is required under the same
accounting guidance to allocate the amount of such contribution
between research and development expenses on the one hand and
general and administrative expenses on the other hand. For the
three month period ended March 31, 2010, the company recorded
$50,000 to research and development expense and $86,000 to
general and administrative expense, based upon managements
estimate. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the company recorded
$50,000 to research and development expense and $100,000 to general and administrative expense,
based upon managements estimate.
|
|
|
|
Effective March 14, 2010, James Gleasman retired as the companys
chief executive officer, interim chief financial officer and as a
member of the board of directors.
|
|
|
|
During the year ended December 31, 2009, James Gleasman advanced
the company $22,000. The outstanding balance as of March 31, 2010
is $11,000.
|
|
[2]
|
|
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the
company recorded compensation expense of $11,700 and $25,350,
respectively, to a member of the Gleasman family for
administrative, technological and engineering consulting
services. The related payments consisted of cash of $7,800 and
$0 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, with the balance paid in business consulting common shares
|
|
[3]
|
|
During the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the
company recorded expense of $17,900 and $23,270, respectively, to
a family member of its general counsel for engineering services
rendered to the company. The related payments consisted of cash
of $7,160 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively, with the balance paid in business consulting
common shares.
|
|
[4]
|
|
On September 14, 2007, the company moved its executive offices
and engineering operations from Pittsford and Webster, New York
to a Rochester, New York facility, which includes both
manufacturing and executive office space. The Rochester facility
is owned by a partnership, in which Asher J. Flaum, a company
director is a partner. On April 28, 2008, the companys board of
directors approved the terms of a lease for these premises and
such lease was executed on April 29, 2008. (See Note F).
|
|
|
|
During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the company
made a one-time payment in shares for payments of additional
rent. The company charged approximately $20,000 to general and
administrative expense.
|

NOTE E Stockholders Equity (Capital Deficit)
|
|
During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the company sold 10,000 restricted
common shares for proceeds of $5,000 in a private placement.
|
|
|
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the company issued 22,756 restricted common

Shares Issued for Consulting Services:
|
|
|
On September 17, 2005, certain consultants created a trust to enable them to sell business consultants shares issued to
them by the company under their consultant agreements. The company issues business consultant common shares to the trust
from time to time, contingent on the performance of services by the consultants under such consultant agreements. The
company values the shares issued to the trust using the closing market price on the date immediately prior to the date of
issuance.
|
|
|
During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the company issued 104,167 business consultants shares valued at
$50,000 to the trust to satisfy the payment of invoices submitted by the consultants for services rendered during such
periods.
|
|
|
During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the company issued 142,555 business consultants shares valued at
$137,450 to the trust to satisfy the payment of invoices submitted by the consultants for services rendered during such
periods.
|
|
|
The companys payment obligations with respect to the consultant agreements are met once it has issued shares to the trust
in accordance with directives received from the consultants and the consultants bear the risk of loss in the event the
proceeds of stock sales by the trustee are less than the value of the stock contributed to the trust by the company on the
date of contribution.
|
[10]
|
|
Commercializing Event Plan:
|
|
|
On October 13, 2006, the board of directors adopted a Commercializing Event Plan (2006 Event Plan)
designed to reward the companys directors, executives and certain administrative personnel for the
successful completion of one or more commercializing events. No payments were made under the 2006 Event Plan
and the 2006 Event Plan was terminated on October 31, 2007.
|
|
|
On October 31, 2007, the board of directors adopted a new 2007 Commercializing Event Plan (the 2007 Event
Plan). The 2007 Event Plan provides that upon the happening of any commercializing event, each of the
directors and executive officers of the company as well as certain management personnel shall be entitled to
share equally in 6% of the gross amount derived or to be derived from the commercializing event
transaction(s). Similarly, certain of the companys engineers are entitled to share equally in 2% of such
gross amount.
|
|
|
In order to actually receive payment under the 2007 Event Plan, each participant must be both a) employed
by, a consultant to or associated with the company and b) judged to be in good standing with the company
at the time payment is made, all as determined by the board as of the date of the boards authorization of
payments to be made.
|
15
|
|
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the company issued 32,077 common shares under the 2007 Event Plan and recorded a charge
of $13,000. During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the company did not issue any common shares under the 2007 Event Plan.
|
|
|
The company accounts for the settlement of its compensation arrangements to non-employee consultants, directors, executives and certain
administrative personnel with the issuance of its business consulting shares under ASC 505-50(Previously known as: FASB Statement 123(R)
Share Based Payment, provided that there are sufficient shares under the business consultants plan. Under ASC 505-50, the company
measures commission arrangements at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. In the event that there are insufficient shares
available to settle the obligation, the company will follow the provisions of ASC 815-40(Previously known as: EITF 00-19 Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock). Under ASC 815-40, the company will
record a liability instrument for the resulting changes in fair value from the date due to the end of each reporting period until such
liability is satisfied.
|
|
|
In the fourth quarter of 2007, certain engineering consultants agreed to cancel 445,000 warrants issued in 2005 and 2006 in exchange for
their participation in the 2007 Event Plan. The exchange of the warrants for the participation rights in a commercialization event did not
result in an accounting charge. The warrants at the date of the exchange were considered to have no value because the underlying condition
for vesting the warrants was not satisfied. The company determined that the fair value of the rights to be de minimis at the date of the
exchange based on managements estimate (Note: E [8]).
|
|
|
On March 28, 2008, the board of directors approved the grant of an aggregate 195,000 common stock warrants exercisable until December 1,
2016 at $5.00 per share to two engineering consultants in lieu of their participation in the 2007 Event Plan. The company valued the
warrants at $249,000 using the Black-Scholes option/pricing model and charged operations.

Consulting Agreements:
|
|
|
On February 6, 2009, the company signed a consulting agreement with
a strategic planning, government relations, marketing and public
relations firm to render consulting services for a one year period.
Under the agreement, the company is obligated to pay the consulting
firm $20,000 per month, except that, until the consultant has
assisted the company to secure an agreed-upon level of governmental
and /or private funding, the companys monthly obligation is limited
to $4,000. On February 19, 2010, the agreement with the consulting
firm was renewed for an additional six months under the same terms.
As of March 31, 2010, no funding had been obtained under the
extended agreement and as a result, the companys monthly obligation
under the extended agreement is $4,000. Payments to the consultant
firm are charged to operations.
|
16
|
|
The company leases a facility located at 1999 Mount Read Blvd.,
Rochester, New York. On April 29, 2008, the company executed a
five-year lease for the premises (with a December 1, 2007 lease
commencement date) which provides for rent to be paid at a rate of
$5,687 per month ($68,244 per annum) and in addition, for the
payment of the companys proportionate share of yearly real estate
taxes and yearly common area operating costs.
|
|
|
Under the lease, monthly rental payments commenced June 1, 2008. The
lease contains three 5-year renewal options and grants an option to
the company to lease additional adjacent manufacturing and assembly
space.

payments due to the landlord is to be paid in common shares of the
company, based upon the closing price per share on the 15th day of
the calendar month immediately prior to the date any installment
payment of monthly rent or other payment is due landlord.
|
|
|

NOTE G Litigation
|
|
On October 31, 2008, the company commenced an action in New York
Supreme Court, County of New York, Commercial Division against Ice
Engineering, LLC seeking the total balance owed by Ice Engineering
to the company pursuant to an assignment agreement entered into by
the parties, effective June 15, 2007, whereby the company assigned
all of its rights and interest in an ice technology license granted
by Dartmouth College to Ice Engineering in exchange for a 2.8%
royalty interest and a cash reimbursement of $3,500,000. The suit
was commenced after the company had been paid approximately $800,000
in reimbursement monies.
|
|
|
|
On January 27, 2010, the company and Ice Engineering settled this
litigation. Under the settlement agreement, the companys assignment
of the ice technology license is made permanent; the company elected
to forego its right to royalties and will receive $1,100,000 in
reimbursement monies, with $300,000 being paid to the company by Ice
Engineering on January 27, 2010 and $800,000 being paid to the
company by Ice Engineering by February 26, 2010. The company
received the entire $1,100,000 due under the settlement agreement by
the due dates specified in the settlement agreement.
|
|
|
The recovery of $1,100,000 received during January and February 2010 has been recorded as other
income during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The $800,000 received in 2007 and 2008 has
previously been recorded as deferred income and, upon settlement of this litigation, has been
reflected as other income during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
|
NOTE H Royalty Agreement
|
|
On December 12, 2007, the company granted High Density Poweretrain, Inc. of Waterford, Michigan
(HDP) an exclusive, worldwide license to incorporate the companys constant velocity joint
technology in HDPs family of highly-powered, multifueled, fuel efficient, light weight, cost
effective internal combustion engines. In consideration for the grant of the license, the
company will receive annual royalties equal to 5% of annual gross revenues generated by the
sale of HDPs multifuel engines, including all sublicense of such technology. There are no
minimum royalty payments and the grant does not affect the companys ability to commercialize
its constant velocity joint technology in any other field and/or application. At March 31,
2010, the company has not received any royalties under this agreement.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
PLAN OF OPERATION
(a)
|
|
Overall Business Strategy
|
|
|
From its inception in 1996, the companys overall business plan has been to design,
develop, build and commercialize its FTV
®
worldwide, especially in the Asian, African,
South and Central American and Eastern European markets. In addressing issues and
solving problems encountered in the design and development of the FTV, the company
designed and developed a number of automotive drive-line technologiesi.e. the
companys hydraulic pump/motor system, infinitely variable transmissions, Iso-Torque
®
differential and constant velocity joint technology.
|
|
|
The FTV
®
has been developed and is ready for commercialization. In addition, each of
the companys other automotive technologies has been developed and are ready for
commercialization either independently on a stand-alone basis or as incorporated
into the companys FTV.
|
|
|
In present circumstances, the company intends to produce, market and distribute FTVs
by entering into a joint venture relationship with an automotive manufacturer. The
company intends to incorporate its drive-line technologies into the FTV to enhance its
marketability and value. The company also intends to license and/or enter into supply
contracts with automotive manufacturers, military contractors, tier-one suppliers and
possibly end-users for its drive-line technologies independent of their utilization in
the FTV.
|
(b)
|
|
Current Status of Business Plan and Ongoing Projects
|
|
|
The companys plan of operation during the year ending December 31, 2010 is as follows:
|
1) to explore with the U.S. Air Force the military and commercial potential of the
companys FTV
®
as an Advanced Combat Firefighting Vehicle capable of unprecedented
speed and maneuverability with diverse applications for use in the most extreme and
rugged terrain. The company has redelivered the FTV to the Air Force after making
modifications to the vehicle based upon the Air Forces recommendations which
maximized its combat firefighting capabilities, including its robotic and autonomous
potential. The company anticipates that ongoing and future discussions with the Air
Force will crystallize the direction of the Air Forces Advanced Combat Firefighting
Vehicle program and the companys participation in such program;
2) based in part upon results of the companys discussions with the Air Force, to
explore interest in the FTV among other branches of the U.S. military, the Department
of Homeland Security, FEMA, the U.S. Forestry Service, as well as state and municipal
governmental units for boarder patrol, off-highway emergencies, federal and state
conservation and drug-enforcement efforts and, as a fast, highly maneuverable vehicle
for combat and non-combat uses;
3) to ship Isotorque
®
differentials to General Motors and Ford Motor Company for
performance evaluation by such companies for their front-wheel drive vehicle
platforms, to interface with such companies in their evaluations, to furnish
additional IsoTorque differentials to such companies for additional evaluation and to
engage such companies in discussions with respect to the general utilization by such
companies of Torvecs Isotorque differential technology;
4) to interface with General Motors with respect to the performance evaluation by GM
of the IsoTorque differential shipped to it in early January, 2010 as installed in
GMs Cadillac CTS ( and perhaps in a new vehicle platform under consideration by GM),
to furnish additional rear-wheel drive Isotorque differentials to GM for additional
evaluation in the Cadillac CTS and to engage GM in discussions concerning the
utilization of Torvecs Isotorque differential technology for its rear-wheel drive
automotive and truck fleets;
18
5) to ship IsoTorque differentials to Hyundai for installation and performance
evaluation in its Genesis Coupe and to Tesla for installation and performance
evaluation in its Roadster, to interface with both companies in their evaluations, to
furnish additional IsoTorque differentials to such companies for additional evaluation
and to engage such companies in discussions with respect to the general utilization by
such companies of Torvecs IsoTorque differential technology. On April 30, 2010, the
company shipped a prototype differential to Hyundai for evaluation in Hyundais
Genesis Coupe;
6) to enter the differential aftermarket by manufacturing, marketing and distributing
IsoTorque differentials for Corvette C-5 and C-6 cars as well as for the SMS 620
Camaro sports car based upon managements research that approximately 380,000 Corvette
C-5 and C-6 cars have been produced since 1997 and up to 80,000 current-generation
Camaros were produced and sold in 2009;
7) to build, test and evaluate the companys constant velocity joint technology as
specifically-designed for use in the worldwide mining industry in cooperation with
Eastern Mining & Industrial Supply, Inc. of Chapmanville, West Virginia. This program
will be conducted in partnership with the Center for Integrated Manufacturing Studies
located on the campus of Rochester Institute of Technology and is funded, in part, by
a grant from the New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research
(NYSTAR). The program will be conducted under the overall umbrella of the companys
partnership with Rochester Institute of Technology known as the Safety and Efficiency
in Automobiles Laboratory (SEAL) created by agreement between the company and RIT in
July 2009;
8) to expand the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and commercializing programs
undertaken by SEAL by attracting federal, state and local governmental funding for
such programs and by increasing the number of private-sector partners participating in
SEALs projects;
9) to continue to explore the interest of a major international truck manufacturer in
the redesign of the axle used by it in order to integrate Torvecs IsoTorque
differential technology in its fleet of heavy-duty trucks.
In addition to the activities to be undertaken by the company to implement its plan of
operation detailed immediately above, the company from time to time receives
indications of interest in its technologies from additional sources which lead to
projects and developments not specified in the plan. Information regarding the
company and all of its automotive inventions, including regular updates on
technological and business developments, can be found on the companys website,

Results of Operations
|
|
|
The net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $1,051,000 as
compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2009 of a net loss of $699,000. The
increase of $1,750,000 in the three month comparative period is principally related to
the settlement of the ICE Engineering litigation (Note G).
|
|
|
Research and development expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2010
amounted to $101,000 as compared to $101,000 for the three month period ended March
31, 2009.
|
|
|
General and administrative expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2010
amounted to $748,000 compared to $683,000 for the three month period ended March 31,
2009. The increase of $65,000 in three month comparative period is due, in large part
to the $45,000 expense for issuance of warrant to a consultant, to the $25,000
increase in management compensation and the $13,000 for the Commercialization Event
Plan expense associated with the settlement of the litigation. The remainder is due
to increased expense for consulting, equipment and occupancy expenses.
|

|
|
Liquidity and Capital Resources
|
|
|
The companys business activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2010
were funded principally through the receipt of approximately $103,000 representing New
York State corporation income tax refundable credits, recognized in prior years,
allocable to certain research and development expenses incurred in the 2008 tax year,
the receipt of $1,100,000 in settlement of litigation with Ice Engineering LLC and the
receipt of approximately $5,000 from the sale of 10,000 restricted common shares to an
accredited investor, all occurring during the three month period ended March 31, 2010.
|
|
|
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the company issued 632,419 and
437,394 common shares to business consultants under the Business Consultants Stock Plan in
exchange for ongoing business advisory services, engineering services, legal fees, including
patent services, internal accounting services and other corporate services. As of March 31,
2010, 5,777,563 shares are available for future issuances under the Business Consultants Stock
Plan.
|
|
|
Effective January 1, 2008, the board of directors instituted a compensation plan for James and
Keith Gleasman by which the company would compensate each of them for services performed and
inventions and know-how transferred at the rate of $300,000 per year. Actual payment under the
plan was conditioned upon a board determination that the company had the requisite cash, after
the complete funding of all ongoing projects, to make payment.
|
|
|
The company did not have the requisite cash available to pay the Gleasmans compensation under
this arrangement from January 1, 2008 through August 17, 2009, the date on which each of the
Gleasmans waived all rights and interest in and to the board-created compensation plan,
including all rights and interest in and to the amount(s) under the plan accrued to such date.
As a result of such waiver, of the $942,000 accrued under the plan at August 17, 2009, $900,000
was reclassified to equity as a contribution of services and $42,000 accrued under the plan for
payroll taxes was recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses.
|
|
|
For periods for which there is no compensation plan in effect for the Gleasmans, the company is
required to record the estimated value of each of the Gleasmans services rendered to the company
(estimated at $300,000 each per annum) as a contribution of services under generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to the company and is required under the same accounting
principles to allocate the amount of such contribution between research and development expenses
on the one hand and general and administrative expenses on the other hand.
|
|
|
Effective March 14, 2010, James Gleasman retired as the companys chief executive officer,
interim chief financial officer and as a member of the board of directors.
|
|
|
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the company recorded $50,000 to research and
development expense and $86,000 to general and administrative expense, based upon managements
estimate.
|
|
|
For the period from September 1996 (inception) through March 31, 2010, the company has
accumulated a deficit of $52,162,000, and at March 31, 2010 has working capital of $129,000 and
stockholders equity of $308,000. The company has been dependent upon equity financing and
advances from stockholders to meet its obligations and sustain operations. The companys efforts
are principally devoted to the ongoing refining of its technologies and commercializing its
products. Management believes that based upon its current cash position and its planned cash
outlays for its business operations, the company will be able to meet its anticipated cash
requirements through March 31, 2011. However, if its cash projections are less than expected,
the company may need to downsize operations, incur debt or raise additional capital. There can
be no assurance that the company will be successful in raising additional capital or incur debt
when needed on terms acceptable to the company.
|
|
|
The companys ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon achieving
profitable operations and generating sufficient cash flows from operations to continue to meet
its future obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition:
|
|
|
|
The companys terms provided that customers are obligated to pay
for products sold to them within a specified number of days from
the date that title to the products is transferred to the
customer. The companys standard terms are typically net 30 days.
The company recognizes revenue when transfer of title occurs and
risk of ownership passes to a customer at the time of shipment or
delivery, depending on the terms of the agreement with a
particular customer. The sale price of the companys products is
substantially fixed or determinable at the date of the sale based
upon purchase orders generated by a customer and accepted by the
company. To the extent that collectability of the receivable is
not assured, the company follows the cost recovery approach.
Accordingly, amounts collected will be accounted for as a
reduction of costs.
|
|
|
|
Share-based Payments
|
|
|
|
The company accounts for the settlement of its commission
arrangements to non-employee consultants, directors, executives
and certain administrative personnel with the issuance of its
business consulting shares under ASC 505 (Previously known as FASB
Statement 123
®
Share Based Payment), provided that there are
sufficient shares available under the business consulting plan.
Under ASC 505, the company measures commission arrangements at the
fair value of the equity instruments issued. In the event that
there are insufficient shares available to settle the obligation,
the company will follow the provisions of ASC 815-40 (Previously
known as: EITF 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys
Own Stock). Under ASC 815-40, the company will record a liability
instrument for the resulting changes in fair value from the date
due to the end of each reporting period until such liability is
satisfied.

|
Impact of Inflation
The extent inflation may impact the companys operations during
the three month period ended March 31, 2010, has been determined
by management not to have a significant impact on the companys
operations to date.

|
(i)
|
|
Quarterly Fluctuations
|
|
|
|
As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the company had not engaged in
substantial revenue producing operations. Once the company
actually commences significant revenue producing operations, the
companys operating results may fluctuate significantly from
period to period as a result of a variety of factors, including
purchasing patterns of consumers, the length of the companys
sales cycle to key customers and distributors, the timing of the
introduction of new products and product enhancements by the
company and its competitors, technological factors, variations in
sales by product and distribution channel, product returns, and
competitive pricing. Consequently, once the company actually
commences significant revenue producing operations, the companys
product revenues may vary significantly by quarter and the
companys operating results may experience significant
fluctuations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our President and Interim Chief Financial
Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)),
as of the end of such period, are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
21
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the
first quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our President and Interim Chief Financial
Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation and the identification of the material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our President and
interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of March 31, 2010, that our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of such period, are not effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the
first quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. Below, we have described the
material weaknesses that were identified for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the current
status of managements remediation efforts.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. 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 in accordance with GAAP. Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is 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.
Management has conducted, with the participation of our President and our interim Chief Financial
Officer, an assessment of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2010. Managements assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted
using the criteria in
Internal Control over Financial Reporting Guidance for Smaller Public
Companies
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on the evaluation, our management concluded that there are material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the
restatement of any previously reported financial statements nor does management believe that it had
any effect on the accuracy of the Companys financial statements for the current reporting period.
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 the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis. We identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting as of March 31, 2010:
The material weaknesses relate to the a) preparation of the income tax disclosures and the related
components of our deferred tax assets, b) accounting for equity transactions, which resulted in the
Company providing price protection to consultants and c) the preparation of financial statements
and footnotes and financial data provided to the Companys registered public accounting firm in
connection with the annual audit. While we engage outside consultants to assist us in preparing our
tax provision and tax returns, our financial statements and related disclosures, we did not have
proper review controls to monitor outside consultants. We have not implemented an effective review
process for accounting for income taxes, which could lead to errors in computation and disclosures.
The Company does not have technical expertise in financial reporting to monitor work performed by
outside consultants.
We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate
the material weaknesses. We intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related
testing as part of our fiscal 2010 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting.
22
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are in the process of implementing remediation efforts with respect to the material weaknesses
noted above as follows:
|
a)
|
|
Income Tax Disclosures Management is in the process of working with the
consultant to increase the amount of oversight in regard to the tax disclosure and the
related components.
|
|
b)
|
|
Accounting for Equity Transactions The internal control has been modified so
that price protection is no longer being provided to the companys consultants. The
Compensation and Governance Committee is in the process of reviewing this policy.
|
|
c)
|
|
Preparation of the Financial Statements Management is in the process of
working with the consultant to increase the amount of oversight in regard to financial
statement preparation.

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings
|
On October 31, 2008, the company commenced an action in New York Supreme Court,
County of New York, Commercial Division against Ice Engineering, LLC seeking
the total balance owed by Ice Engineering to the company pursuant to an
assignment agreement entered into by the parties, effective June 15, 2007,
whereby the company assigned all of its rights and interest in an ice
technology license granted by Dartmouth College to Ice Engineering in exchange
for a 2.8% royalty interest and a cash reimbursement of $3,500,000. The suit
was commenced after the company had been paid approximately $800,000 in
reimbursement monies.
On January 27, 2010, the company and Ice Engineering settled this litigation.
Under the settlement agreement, the companys assignment of the ice technology
license is made permanent; the company elected to forego its right to royalties
and will receive $1,100,000 in reimbursement monies, with $300,000 being paid
to the company by Ice Engineering on January 27, 2010 and $800,000 being paid
to the company by Ice Engineering by February 26, 2010. The company received
the entire $1,100,000 due under the settlement agreement by the due dates
specified in the settlement agreement.
There have been no significant changes to the risk factors facing the company as disclosed in the
companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 2.
|
|
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|
During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the company sold 10,000 restricted common
shares for proceeds of $5,000 in a private placement.
The investor is a qualified accredited investor within the meaning of regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933 and the company is therefore relying on section 4(2) of said Act
as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

The number of broker non-votes was 11,446,978. Broker non-votes occur when common shares are
held in street name (i.e. the shares are registered in the name of the broker, not the
shareholder who is the beneficial owner) and the broker does not vote such shares in the absence of
the beneficial owners instructions. The ratification of the audit committees appointment of
Eisner LLP as the companys Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the year ended
December 31, 2009 is considered a routine matter upon which brokers voted without instructions
from beneficial owners. On the other hand, beginning with the companys annual meeting held on
January 28, 2010 and for future annual meetings, the election of directors is considered a
non-routine matter upon which brokers will not vote without specific instructions.
