CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the December 31, 2022.

 

Going Concern Substantial Doubt Alleviated

 

As of the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had a loss of $1,631,500, which consisted of a non-cash amount of $1,474,225 for a net cash loss of $157,275. As of March 31, 2023, its accumulated deficit was $174,586,553.

 

Management believes the Company’s present cash flows will enable it to meet its obligations for twenty-four months from the date of these financial statements. Management will continue to assess its operational needs and seek additional financing as needed to fund its operations.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The condensed unaudited financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, whereby revenue will be recognized as performance obligations are satisfied and customers obtain control of goods or services. However, in the event of a loss on a sale is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is determined. To date, the Company has not had significant revenues and is in the development stage.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalent

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Concentration Risk

 

Cash includes amounts deposited in financial institutions in excess of insurable Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) limits. At times throughout the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of March 31, 2023, the cash balance in excess of the FDIC limits was $4,390,377. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in these accounts.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements, include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, derivative liabilities and the fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated using straight line over its estimated useful lives:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company has patent applications to protect the inventions and processes behind its proprietary bio-based back-sheet, a protective covering for the back of photovoltaic solar modules traditionally made from petroleum-based film. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

 

   Useful Lives   3/31/2023   12/31/2022 
Patents      $45,336   $45,336 
Less accumulated amortization   15 years    (21,912)   (21,157)
Intangible assets       $23,424   $24,179 

 

Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $755 and $755, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. All grants under our stock-based compensation programs are accounted for at fair value and that cost is recognized over the period during which an employee, consultant, or director are required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Compensation expense for options granted to employees and non-employees is determined in accordance with the standard as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. Compensation expense for awards granted is re-measured each period.

 

On February 18, 2021, the Company granted 450,000,000 stock options to its employees for services at an exercise price of $0.091. On September 29, 2021, the Company amended the exercise price to $0.028 per share. The options expire, and all rights to purchase the shares shall terminate seven (7) years from the date of grant or termination of employment. Half of the 400,000,000 options vested immediately upon grant, and the remaining half of the option to purchase 200,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock shall become exercisable in equal amounts over a twenty-four (24) month period during the term of the optionee’s employment, with the first installment of 8,333,333 shares vesting on March 18, 2021. The 50,000,000 options are exercisable in equal amounts over a thirty-six (36) month period during the term of the optionee’s employment, with the first installment of 1,388,889 shares, vesting on March 18, 2021. On April 12, 2022, the Company cancelled the 450,000,000 stock options dated February 18, 2021, and concurrently granted 450,000,000 new options to its’ employees for services.

 

On March 1, 2022, the Company issued 5,000,000 common stock purchase warrants through a securities purchase agreement for a purchase price of $1,000.

 

On March 15, 2022, the Company granted 5,000,000 stock options to a consultant for advisory services. The options vest at a rate of 138,889 options per month for a thirty-six (36) month period during the term of the optionee’s consultancy with the Company. As of March 31, 2023, the 5,000,000 stock options were outstanding.

 

On April 12, 2022, the Company granted 450,000,000 stock options to its employees for services at an exercise price of $0.021. The options expire, and all rights to purchase the shares shall terminate seven (7) years from the date of grant or termination of employment. The vesting schedule of the 400,000,000 options are exercisable in the amount of 316,666,662 immediately, and the remaining 83,333,338 shares shall become exercisable in equal amounts over a ten (10) month period during the term of the optionee’s employment until the Option is 100% vested. The 50,000,000 options are exercisable in the amount of 19,444,446 immediately and the remaining 30,555,554 shares shall become exercisable in equal amounts over a twenty-two (22) month period during the term of the optionee’s employment until the Options is 100% vested. As of March 31, 2023, the 450,000,000 stock options were outstanding.

 

On March 20, 2023, the Company granted 50,000,000 shares of stock options, to purchase the total number of shares of common stock equal to the number of option shares at the exercise price of $0.0137 per share. The options were granted pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The 50,000,000 shares subject to the options, have a six-month cliff, whereby 8,333,333 shall become vested and exercisable on September 19, 2023 and the remaining 41,666,667 shall become exercisable in equal amounts over a thirty (30) month period during the term of the participant’s employment until the option is 100% vested. The unvested portion of the option will not be exercisable on or after the termination of continuous service.

 

Determining the appropriate fair value of the stock-based compensation requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment and stock price volatility. The Company used Black Scholes to value its stock option awards which incorporated the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free rate, dividend rate, and estimated life. The stock options terminate seven (7) years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate total of 505,000,000 stock options were outstanding.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $15,000 and $220,546 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations

 

Net earnings (Loss) per share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the effect of stock options and stock-based awards (Note 4), plus the assumed conversion of convertible debt (Note 5).  

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has not included shares issuable from 505,000,000 stock options and 228,958,334 warrants, because their impact on the income per share is antidilutive.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company has included shares issuable from 468,500,000 stock options and 228,958,334 warrants, because their impact on the income per share is dilutive.

Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator)   705,126,846    715,496,051 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2023, the amounts reported for cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring 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). These tiers include:

 

  ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
     
  ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
     
  ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. As of March 31, 2023, there were no financial instruments to report.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements.

 

Certain statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations” below, and elsewhere in this quarterly report, are not related to historical results, and are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements present our expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements frequently are accompanied by such words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other words and terms of similar meaning. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, or timeliness of such results. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report. Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements and risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023, and in other reports filed by us with the SEC.

 

You should read the following description of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report.

 

Overview

 

We are a developer of clean energy technologies. Our current focus is on developing an electrolyzer technology to lower the cost of Green Hydrogen production.

 

Hydrogen is the cleanest and most abundant fuel in the universe. It is zero-emission and only produces water vapor when used. However, hydrogen does not exist in its pure form on Earth so it must be extracted. For centuries, scientists have known how to electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using a device called an electrolyzer. Electrolyzers installed behind a solar farm or wind farm can use renewable electricity to split water, thereby producing Green Hydrogen. However, modern electrolyzers still cost too much. The chemical catalysts that enable the water-splitting reactions are currently made from platinum and iridium - both are very expensive precious metals. These catalysts account for nearly 50% of the cost of the electrolyzer.

 

We are developing technologies to significantly reduce or replace catalysts made from rare materials with catalysts made from inexpensive earth abundant materials in electrolyzers to lower the cost of Green Hydrogen, thus help usher in a Green Hydrogen economy. In a 2020 report, Goldman Sachs estimates that Green Hydrogen will be a $12 trillion market opportunity by 2050.

 

We have previously developed an innovative material technology to reduce the cost per watt of electricity produced by Photovoltaic, or PV, solar modules.

 

Recent Transactions

 

Director Departure

 

On March 11, 2023, Spencer Hall notified the Company of his decision to resign as a director of the Company effective March 11, 2023. Mr. Hall’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

On March 14, 2023, the Board approved an increase to the base salary of David Lee, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, resulting in a base salary of $300,000, effective March 1, 2023.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using a Binomial lattice valuation model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements, include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, derivative liabilities and the fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our cash, cash equivalents, investments, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements.

 

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased by $964,121 to $1,615,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2,580,059 for the prior period ended March 31, 2022. The primary decrease in G&A expenses was the result of a decrease in fair value of non-cash stock compensation of $905,100, a decrease in professional fees in the amount of $18,442, a decrease in salaries of $29,135, with an overall decrease in G&A expenses of $11,444.

 

12

 

 

Research and Development

 

Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased by $205,546 to $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $220,546 for the prior period ended March 31, 2022. This overall decrease in R&D expenses was the result of a decrease in outside research fees.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1,026 and $1,091, respectively.

 

Other Income/(Expenses)

 

Other income and (expenses) decreased by $170 to $464 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $634 for the prior period ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in other income and (expenses) was the result of a decrease in interest income of $170. The decrease in other income and (expenses) was primarily due to the net change in interest income.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1,631,500, compared to $2,801,062 for the prior period ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in net loss was due to a decrease in non-cash other income associated with the net change in stock option expense in the current period. These estimates were based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices as defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on management projections. These inputs were subject to significant changes from period to period and to management’s judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material. The Company has not generated any revenues.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not generate any revenues, and recognized a net loss of $1,631,500, due to a change in non-cash stock compensation, and cash of $194,320 used in operations. As of March 31, 2023, we had working capital of $4,688,939 and a shareholders’ equity of $1,230,216.

 

Management believes that we will be able to continue to raise funds through the sale of our securities to existing and new investors. Management believes that funding from existing and prospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due and will allow the development of our core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.

 

As of March 31, 2023, we had working capital of $4,688,939 compared to $4,845,188 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease in working capital was due primarily to a decrease in cash.

 

13

 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we used $194,320 of cash for operating activities, as compared to $458,446 for the prior period ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities for the current period was a result of a decrease in professional fees and research and development cost.

 

Net cash provided from equity financing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $1,000 for the prior period ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was due to less equity financing during the current period. Our capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of the sale of our securities, as we currently have not generated any revenues.

 

Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our financial statements as of March 31, 2023 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue, which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS

 

We are engaged in the development of clean energy technologies to lower the cost of producing green hydrogen. The Company’s current focus is on developing lower cost replacements for precious metal based catalysts for hydrogen electrolyzers.

 

Our plan of operation within the next twelve months is to utilize our cash balances to expand the existing electrolyzer technology program focused on significantly reducing or replacing rare materials in electrolyzers with inexpensive earth abundant materials to help usher in a Green Hydrogen economy.

 

We believe that our current cash and investment balances will be sufficient to support development activity and general and administrative expenses for the next twenty-four months. Management estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2025, based upon its current operating plan and condition. We expect increased expenses during the second quarter of 2023 as we ramp up prototyping efforts for electrolyzer incorporating our catalyst technology as well as commence an additional related technology program.
