PROSPECTUS
Up to
4,433,500 shares of
common stock
STS
TURBO, INC.
We are
registering up to 4,433,500 shares, representing 13.7% of our current
outstanding common stock, for sale by 212 of our existing
shareholders: This offering will terminate when all 4,433,500 shares
are sold or on _____________, 20__, unless we terminate it earlier.
Investing in the common stock
involves risks. STS Turbo, Inc. currently designs, manufactures, and
markets a patented turbocharger system for the automotive market and while it is
not a development stage company, it is a company with limited operations,
limited income, and limited assets, is in unsound financial condition, and you
should not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire
investment. The company’s independent auditors report on its
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 expresses
substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going
concern. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4. Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has
approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is
truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense.
All of the common stock registered by
this prospectus will be sold by the selling shareholders on their own behalf at
a price of $0.20 per share. The selling stockholders, and any
participating broker-dealers, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” and
any commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer may be regarded as
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Our
common stock is not traded on any national securities exchange and is not quoted
on any over-the-counter market. If our shares become quoted on the
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, sales will be made at prevailing market prices
or privately negotiated prices. STS Turbo, Inc. is not selling any of
the shares of common stock in this offering and therefore will not receive any
proceeds from this offering. The selling stockholders have informed
us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with any person to distribute their common stock.

PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
STS
TURBO, INC.
All references to “STS,” the “Company,”
“we,” “us” or “our” in this prospectus mean STS Turbo, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, and all entities owned or controlled by STS Turbo, Inc., except
where it is made clear that the term means only the parent company.
Overview
We sell turbocharger systems for
automobiles. The turbochargers can be installed at our facility in
Orem, Utah, or we can ship the parts to our customer and they can have it
installed by a local mechanic in their area. We sell our
turbochargers through the Internet, and through our network of over 200
distributors. Our advertising and marketing efforts are focused on
creating a known brand and driving potential customers to our website and
encouraging them to contact the company sales staff directly.
We own 3 U.S. patents that cover our
turbochargers. We manufacture some of the parts for our
turbochargers, but most of the parts are purchased from our suppliers and then
packaged and sold to our customers. Our typical customer has
historically been a car enthusiast, however, we are trying to expand our
customer base to include those who want fuel savings and are attracted to the
environmental benefits of our products.
Our future plans are to expand our
product line so that we offer turbochargers for a wider variety of
vehicles. We are also working on a completely new technology that,
although not ready for development yet, might increase the efficiency of larger
vehicles such as tractor trailers.
Background
Forced
induction, in the form of a supercharger or turbocharger, was introduced in the
early 1900s and has become the standard for increasing the horsepower and torque
of an engine. Forced induction forces more air into the cylinders of
the engine during the intake stroke in order to increase
power. Centrifugal superchargers are currently the preferred option
of most performance enthusiasts due to their relatively easy installation and
lower cost, even though they inefficiently pull power from the engine itself in
order to operate the air compressor that forces more air into the
engine.
Turbochargers
are actually a more efficient way to “boost” a motor and are used primarily in
aerospace and diesel applications. Turbochargers utilize the normally
wasted energy in the exhaust of the vehicle to operate the air compressor. Many
of the major automobile manufacturers offer turbocharged vehicles as an
option. However, turbochargers have not flourished in the automotive
industry or the aftermarket performance industry because of the difficult task
of finding a location to put a 2,000°F component the size of a basketball under
the hood in an already over-crowded engine compartment. As well as
the fact that traditional front-mounted turbocharger systems have had a very
difficult time passing modern emissions standards. Turbochargers have
done better in the import market because the motors are smaller and cannot
afford the horsepower loss of a belt-driven supercharger. Not
surprisingly, turbochargers are a popular option in the racing industry because
of their efficiency and horsepower potential.
2
The
Technology
We own
three (3) issued U.S. patents with Australian and European patents pending on an
innovative method of turbocharging a vehicle. We expect to start
being granted international patents in 18-24 months. Our U.S. patents
will begin to expire in early 2023.
STS
turbocharger systems are not mounted in the traditional location under the hood
in the engine bay, but are instead mounted in the rear of the vehicle where the
stock muffler was originally located. The remote location allows for
a quicker and easier install, cooler oil and under-hood engine components, and
cooler intake air temperatures, which helps to deliver more horsepower per pound
of boost than our competitors. More horsepower per pound of boost
means that the engine does not have to work as hard in order to get the same
horsepower. This prolongs engine life, improves reliability, and
reduces the risk of any engine damage.
Because
the location of the turbocharger is uniquely in the rear of the vehicle behind
the catalytic converters, the turbo system actually helps reduce emissions by
causing the catalytic converters to get up to operating temperature quicker and
to stay at an increased operating efficiency. Also, due to the use of
wasted exhaust energy to create more power from the engine, our own testing has
shown that fuel efficiency normally increases at least 10-20% with the
turbocharger as compared with the stock vehicle, and the turbocharged vehicle
now has more horsepower. Please note that these results come from our
own internal tests, conducted on a limited number of vehicles, and have not been
verified by a third party. It is our belief that an even greater fuel
efficiency improvement can be achieved when comparing two vehicles with
approximately the same horsepower – one with a smaller engine that is
turbocharged, and one that has a larger stock engine.

Corporate
Information
We were
incorporated on August 28, 2008, in the State of Nevada, as STS Turbo,
Inc. Effective September 12, 2008, we acquired all of the issued and
outstanding securities of Squires Turbo Systems, Inc., a Utah corporation, from
its shareholders. We intend to become a reporting company by filing
of a registration statement with the Commission for the resale of all Shares by
the purchasers herein, followed by a Form 8-A. Following such
registration, we intend to seek a market maker to apply to list our common stock
for trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.
Through
Squires Turbo Systems, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, we develop,
manufacture, and sell a patented turbocharger system that our own testing has
shown increases horsepower, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces the emissions
of any vehicle. Our principal product is the automotive remote-mount
turbocharger.
We have a second wholly-owned
subsidiary, Power-Train Systems, Inc., through which we are developing ‘green’
power production and enhancement technologies, primarily designed to increase
the efficiency and reduce harmful emissions of vehicles and large
equipment. However, this technology is in its research and
development phase and is not ready for us to market.
Our
principal offices are located at 165 N. 1330 West, Suite A-4, Orem,
UT 84057. The telephone is (801)

RISK
FACTORS
Any
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You
should consider carefully the following information, together with the other
information contained in this prospectus, before you decide to buy our common
stock. If any of the following events actually occurs, our business,
financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In
this case, the market price, if any, of our common stock could decline, and you
could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.
We face
risks in completing the research for our products and eventually bringing them
to market. The following risks are material risks that we face. If
any of these risks occur, our business, our ability to achieve revenues, our
operating results and our financial condition could be seriously
harmed.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We have a limited operating history and
no historical financial information upon which you may evaluate our
performance.
You
should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the
risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their
early stages of development. We may not successfully address these
risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our existing and new products
and services. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our
business and impair the value of our common stock. Even if we
accomplish these objectives, we may not generate the positive cash flows or
profits we anticipate in the future. We were incorporated in Nevada
on August 28, 2008, and, on September 12, 2008, acquired Squires Turbo Systems,
Inc., a Utah corporation incorporated on March 1, 2004. Unanticipated
problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new
business and developing new products and services. These include, but
are not limited to, inadequate funding, lack of consumer acceptance,
competition, product development, and inadequate sales and
marketing. The failure by us to meet any of these conditions would
have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail
operations. No assurance can be given that we can or will ever
operate profitably.
If
we are unable to meet our future capital needs, we may be required to reduce or
curtail operations.
To
date, Squires Turbo Systems, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary through which we
operate, has relied on cash flow from operations, funding from its founders,
debt financing, and private stock sales to fund operations. We have
extremely limited cash liquidity and capital resources. Our cash on
hand as of May 10, 2010 was approximately $118,000, and our monthly cash flow
burn rate (net of cost of goods sold) is approximately
$60,000. During the first three months of 2010, our revenue has
averaged nearly double that amount.
Our
future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our ability
to market our services successfully, cash flow from operations, and competing
market developments. We anticipate that our cash needs can be met
from operations for the next 12 months. However, there can be no
assurance that this will be the case. Consequently, although we
currently have no specific plans or arrangements for financing, we intend to
raise funds through private placements, public offerings or other
financings. Any equity financings would result in dilution to our
then-existing stockholders. Sources of debt financing may result in
higher interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on
unfavorable terms. If adequate funds are not obtained, we may be
required to reduce or curtail operations.
5
As
we have reported recurring losses from operations, and an accumulated deficit,
there is no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going
concern.
Our
financial statements included with this Registration Statement for the years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared assuming that we will
continue as a going concern. Our auditors have made reference to the
substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in their
audit report on our audited financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2009 and 2008. If we are not able to achieve profitable
operations, then we likely will be forced to cease operations and investors will
likely lose their entire investment.
If
we fail to successfully complete a public offering of our securities, it may
impede your ability to sell our shares.
There is
absolutely no assurance that we will ever successfully complete a public
offering of our securities. Investors in this offering should only purchase the
Shares based on the merits and risks of a long-term investment as disclosed in
this Prospectus. We do not presently have a commitment from any person or
underwriter for any public offering. Any such offering or offerings would
generally be subject to many conditions, including market trends for initial
public offerings, our business plan, results of operations, and other factors.
If we fail to successfully complete a public offering of our securities, it may
impede your ability to sell the Shares.
Because
we face intense competition, we may not be able to operate profitably in our
markets.
The market for turbochargers and
superchargers is highly competitive and is becoming more so, which could hinder
our ability to successfully market our products. We may not have the
resources, expertise or other competitive factors to compete successfully in the
future. We expect to face additional competition from existing
competitors and new market entrants in the future. Many of our competitors,
including, but not limited to, Vortech Engineering, LLC, Procharger, Garrett,
Turbonetics, and APS, have greater name recognition and more established
relationships in the industry than we do. As a result, these
competitors may be able to:
|
·
|
develop
and expand their product offerings more
rapidly;
|
|
·
|
adapt
to new or emerging changes in customer requirements more
quickly;
|
|
·
|
take
advantage of acquisition and other opportunities more readily;
and
|
|
·
|
devote
greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and adopt
more aggressive pricing policies than we
can.
|
6
Our
products and technologies may not be as competitive as other aftermarket forced
induction technologies that have been in use for a long period of time and offer
advantages of being accepted in the marketplace.
The
aftermarket forced induction industry, meaning the market for forced induction
turbochargers sold to consumers after they already own the vehicle, has
significant competition. Other technologies exist which also increase
the horsepower of vehicles. For example, superchargers have been in
use since the early 1900s and offer the advantage that they have been widely
accepted in the marketplace, whereas our products might face some challenges
with respect to broad market acceptance for some currently indeterminable
time. For example, we must overcome the current market perception
that the supercharger technology is superior to our technology because
turbochargers are perceived to have lag. Lag is a term generally
defined to mean a delay between the time when a driver pushes down on the gas
pedal and when the car actually accelerates. Our turbochargers do not
have lag, as supported by our own internal testing and feedback from our
customers. Failure to overcome such product misconceptions and
gain greater market acceptance of our technology could have a material adverse
effect on our business and the value of our common stock.
If
we are unable to maintain brand image or product quality, or if we encounter
product recalls, our business may suffer.
Our
success depends on our ability to maintain and build brand image for our
existing products, new products and brand extensions. We have no assurance
that our advertising, marketing and promotional programs will have the desired
impact on our products’ brand image and on consumer preferences. Product
quality issues, real or imagined, could tarnish the image of the affected brands
and may cause consumers to choose other products. We may be required from
time to time to recall products entirely or from specific retailers, markets or
batches. Product recalls could adversely affect our profitability and our
brand image.
While we
have to date not experienced any credible product liability litigation, there is
no assurance that we will not experience such litigation in the
future. In the event we were to experience product liability claims
or a product recall, our financial condition and business operations could be
materially adversely affected.
If we are unable to keep pace with
technological change, our existing technology may become obsolete which would
materially and adversely affect our future sales and profitability.
The automotive and other industries
on which the market for our products depends are characterized by rapid and
significant technological change. Our success depends on our ability
to continually develop new technologies and to refine products incorporating our
original technology. Due to delay and the rapid pace of technological
innovation in these industries, there is a risk that our products may be
superseded by new technology and become obsolete.
Our products may not be commercially
accepted or we may not be able to enhance existing products or develop new
products. Future technological change may render one or more of our
products obsolete or uneconomical. Our ability to continue to develop
and market new and improved products that can achieve significant market
acceptance will determine our future sales and profitability.
If
we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, we may not be able to compete
effectively in our market.
Our
success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key
management, including primarily Richard K. Squires, technical experts and sales
and marketing personnel. We attempt to enhance our management and
technical expertise by recruiting qualified individuals who possess desired
skills and experience in certain targeted areas. Our inability to
retain employees and attract and retain sufficient additional employees, and
information technology, engineering and technical support resources, could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. The loss of key personnel could limit our
ability to develop and market our products.
7
Because
our officers, directors and principal shareholders control a large percentage of
our common stock, plus preferred stock, such insiders have the ability to
influence matters affecting our shareholders.
Our
officers and directors as a group beneficially own 50% of the outstanding common
stock, and combined with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, control over
80% of our outstanding voting securities. As a result, they have the
ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders, including the election
of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future
issuance of our shares. Because they control such shares, investors
may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way
our business is being operated. Because the influence by these
insiders could result in management making decisions that are in the best
interest of those insiders and not in the best interest of the investors, you
may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common
stock. See “Principal Shareholders.”
Impairment
of our intellectual property rights could negatively affect our business or
could allow competitors to minimize any advantage that our proprietary
technology may give us.
While it
is our practice to enter into agreements with all employees and some of our
customers and suppliers to prohibit or restrict the disclosure of proprietary
information, we cannot be sure that these contractual arrangements or the other
steps we take to protect our proprietary rights will prove sufficient to prevent
illegal use of our proprietary rights or to deter independent, third-party
development of similar proprietary assets.
We
currently have various patents on our automotive remote-mount turbocharger
technology. However, effective copyright, trademark, trade secret and
patent protection may not be available in every country in which our products
and services are offered. In the future, we may be involved in legal
disputes relating to the validity or alleged infringement of our intellectual
property rights or those of a third party. Intellectual property
litigation is typically extremely costly and can be disruptive to business
operations by diverting the attention and energies of management and key
technical personnel. In addition, any adverse decisions could subject
us to significant liabilities, require us to seek licenses from others, prevent
us from using, licensing or selling certain of our products and services, or
cause severe disruptions to operations or the markets in which we compete which
could decrease profitability.
If
we are unable to obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual property protection
covering our products outside of the United States, others may be able to make,
use, or sell our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
Our
success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining and enforcing
intellectual property rights, including patents, both in and outside the United
States. If we are unable to obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual
property legal protection covering our products outside of the United States,
others may be able to make, use or sell products that are substantially
identical to ours, which would adversely affect our ability to compete in the
market.
8
We
have a number of foreign pending patent applications; however, even if we are
issued patents in these foreign jurisdictions, the laws of some foreign
jurisdictions do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as
laws in the United States, and many companies have encountered significant
difficulties in protecting and defending such rights in foreign jurisdictions.
If we encounter such difficulties or we are otherwise precluded from
effectively protecting our intellectual property rights in foreign
jurisdictions, our business prospects could be substantially materially
adversely affected.
We may
initiate litigation to enforce our patent rights, which may prompt our
adversaries in such litigation to challenge the validity, scope or
enforceability of our patent. Patent litigation is complex and often
difficult and expensive, and would consume the time of our management and other
significant resources. In addition, the outcome of patent litigation is
uncertain. If a court decides that our patent or patents that may be
issued to us in the future are not valid, not enforceable or of a limited scope,
we may not have the right to stop others from using the subject matter covered
by those patents.
If we
are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information and
know-how, our competitors may use our technology to develop competing
products.
We
rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers to provide raw materials for and
to produce our products, and we have limited control over these suppliers and
manufacturers and may not be able to obtain quality products on a timely basis
or in sufficient quantity.
Substantially
all of our products are manufactured by unaffiliated
manufacturers. We have no long-term contracts with our suppliers or
manufacturing sources, and we compete with other companies for raw materials,
production and import quota capacity. We purchase raw materials such
as bent steel tubing, steel flanges, and ceramic coating from third-party
manufacturers such as B&C Industries, Inc., Precision Laser Processing, and
Jet-Hot Coatings. We combine these materials during our manufacturing
process to assemble the kits necessary to retrofit our turbocharger products
onto specific vehicles.
There can
be no assurance that there will not be a significant disruption in the supply of
raw materials from current sources or, in the event of a disruption, that we
would be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality
at an acceptable price, or at all. In addition, we cannot be certain
that our unaffiliated manufacturers will be able to fill our orders in a timely
manner. If we experience significant increased demand, or need to
replace an existing manufacturer, there can be no assurance that additional
supplies of raw materials or additional manufacturing capacity will be available
when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or that any
supplier or manufacturer would allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to
meet our requirements. In addition, even if we are able to expand
existing or find new manufacturing or raw material sources, we may encounter
delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train
our suppliers and manufacturers in our methods, products and quality control
standards. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in the supply
of raw materials or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on
our ability to meet retail customer and consumer demand for our products and
result in lower revenues and net income both in the short and
long-term.
In
addition, there can be no assurance that our suppliers and manufacturers will
continue to provide raw materials and to manufacture products that are
consistent with our standards. We have occasionally received, and may
in the future continue to receive, shipments of product that fail to conform to
our quality control standards. In that event, unless we are able to
obtain replacement products in a timely manner, we risk the loss of revenues
resulting from the inability to sell those products and related increased
administrative and shipping costs. In addition, because we do not
control our manufacturers, products that fail to meet our standards or other
unauthorized products could end up in the marketplace without our knowledge,
which could harm our reputation in the marketplace.
9
We
could become subject to product liability claims that could be expensive, divert
management’s attention and harm our business.
Our
business exposes us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in
the manufacturing, marketing and sale of aftermarket automotive products.
We may be held liable if our products cause injury or death or are found
otherwise unsuitable or defective during usage.
Our
turbo systems incorporate mechanical and electrical parts and components, any of
which can have defective or inferior parts or contain defects, errors or
failures. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or eventual
outcome, could result in significant legal defense costs. Although we
maintain product liability insurance, the coverage is subject to deductibles and
limitations, and may not be adequate to cover future claims. Additionally,
we may be unable to maintain our existing product liability insurance in the
future at satisfactory rates or in adequate amounts. A product liability
claim, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome could result
in:
•
|
decreased
demand for our products;
|
•
|
injury
to our reputation;
|
•
|
diversion
of management’s attention;
|
•
|
significant
costs of related litigation;
|
•
|
payment
of substantial monetary awards by
us;
|
•
|
product
recalls or market withdrawals;
|
•
|
a
change in the design, manufacturing process or the indications for which
our products may be used;
|
•
|
loss
of revenue; and
|
•
|
an
inability to commercialize product
candidates.
|
Our
business may be negatively impacted by a slowing economy or by unfavorable
economic conditions or developments in the United States and/or in other
countries in which we operate.
A general
slowdown in the economy in the United States or unfavorable economic conditions
or other developments may result in decreased consumer demand, business
disruption, supply constraints, foreign currency devaluation, inflation or
deflation. A slowdown in the economy or unstable economic conditions
in the United States or in the countries in which we operate could have an
adverse impact on our business results or financial condition.
In
particular, the automotive industry has declined dramatically in the current
recession. Our products, while providing long term cost savings in
fuel economy and being friendly to the environment, might be seen as luxury or
optional items and thus our revenues are subject to the decreased consumer
spending. In addition, tightening credit markets might negatively
affect our ability to raise capital for expansion.
10
We
may not be able to effectively manage our growth and operations, which could
materially and adversely affect our business.
We may
experience rapid growth and development in a relatively short period of time by
aggressively marketing our automotive remote-mount turbocharger and related
products. The management of this growth will require, among other
things, continued development of our financial and management controls and
management information systems, stringent control of costs, increased marketing
activities, the ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel and
the training of new personnel. We intend to hire additional personnel
in order to manage our expected growth and expansion. Failure to
successfully manage our possible growth and development could have a material
adverse effect on our business and the value of our common stock.
Our
business may be negatively impacted by changes in vehicle emissions requirements
in the United States and/or other countries in which we operate.
Many
governments in countries throughout the world are regulating vehicle emissions
and fuel economy standards and offering incentives to consumers to own and
operate more efficient vehicles. If these regulations change in such
a way as to make our products less desirable or less affordable, it may have a
negative impact on our revenues.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
There is no
public trading market for our common stock, which may impede your ability to
sell our shares.
Currently,
there is no trading market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance
that such a market will commence in the future. There can be no
assurance that an investor will be able to liquidate his or her investment
without considerable delay, if at all. If a trading market does
commence, the price may be highly volatile. Factors discussed herein
may have a significant impact on the market price of our
shares. Moreover, due to the relatively low price of our securities,
many brokerage firms may not effect transactions in our common stock if a market
is established. Rules enacted by the SEC increase the likelihood that
most brokerage firms will not participate in a potential future market for our
common stock. Those rules require, as a condition to brokers
effecting transactions in certain defined securities (unless such transaction is
subject to one or more exemptions), that the broker obtain from its customer or
client a written representation concerning the customer’s financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with
these procedures tends to discourage most brokerage firms from participating in
the market for certain low-priced securities.
We
intend to have a market maker apply to list our common stock for trading on the
"Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board," which may make it more difficult for
investors to resell their shares due to suitability requirements.
We
intend to have a market maker apply to list our common stock for trading on the
Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). However, there can be no
assurance that we will find a market maker willing to submit an application, or
that such market maker’s application will be accepted. Broker-dealers
often decline to trade in OTCBB stocks given the market for such securities are
often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risk to investors is
greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for our common
stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it
more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties
or to otherwise dispose of their shares. This could cause our stock
price to decline.
11
If
we are unable to pay the costs associated with being a public, reporting
company, we may not be able to commence and/or continue trading on the Over the
Counter Bulletin Board and/or we may be forced to discontinue
operations.
We
intend to apply to list our common stock for trading on the OTCBB. We
expect to have significant costs associated with being a public, reporting
company, which may raise substantial doubt about our ability to commence and/or
continue trading on the OTCBB and/or continue as a going
concern. These costs include compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, which will be difficult given the limited size of our management, and
we will have to rely on outside consultants. Accounting controls, in
particular, are difficult and can be expensive to comply with.
Our
ability to commence and/or continue trading on the OTCBB and/or continue as a
going concern will depend on positive cash flow, if any, from future operations
and on our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt
financing. If we are unable to achieve the necessary product sales or
raise or obtain needed funding to cover the costs of operating as a public,
reporting company, our common stock may be deleted from the OTCBB and/or we may
be forced to discontinue operations.
Our
principal stockholders have the ability to exert significant control in matters
requiring stockholder approval and could delay, deter, or prevent a change in
control of our company.
Our
officers and directors collectively own approximately 50% of our outstanding
common stock, and combined with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
control over 80% of our outstanding voting securities.. As a result, they have
the ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders, including the
election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the
future issuance of our shares. Because they control such shares,
investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with
the way our business is being operated. Because the influence by
these insiders could result in management making decisions that are in the best
interest of those insiders and not in the best interest of the investors, you
may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common
stock. Investors who purchase our common stock should be willing to
entrust all aspects of operational control to our current management
team.
We
do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not
intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We do not plan
on making any cash distributions in the manner of a dividend or
otherwise. Our Board presently intends to follow a policy of
retaining earnings, if any.
We
have the right to issue additional common stock and preferred stock without
consent of stockholders. This would have the effect of diluting
investors’ ownership and could decrease the value of their
investment.
We have
additional authorized, but unissued shares of our common stock that may be
issued by us for any purpose without the consent or vote of our stockholders
that would dilute stockholders’ percentage ownership of our
company.
12
In
addition, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of shares of
preferred stock, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations of which
may be set by the Board of Directors. Our certificate of
incorporation has authorized issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in the discretion of our Board. The shares of authorized but
undesignated preferred stock may be issued upon filing of an amended certificate
of incorporation and the payment of required fees; no further stockholder action
is required. If issued, the rights, preferences, designations and
limitations of such preferred stock would be set by our Board and could operate
to the disadvantage of the outstanding common stock. Such terms could
include, among others, preferences as to dividends and distributions on
liquidation.
Our common stock
is governed under The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of
1990.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny
Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market
for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny
stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a
penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00
per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any
equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity security issued by an issuer
that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has
been in continuous operation for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of
at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less
than three years, or (iii) average annual revenue of at least $6,000,000,
if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three
years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the
delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure
schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated
therewith.
SPECIAL
NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have
made forward-looking statements in this prospectus, including the sections
entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” and “Business,” that are based on our management’s
beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our
management. Forward-looking statements include the information
concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business
strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment,
potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation, and the
effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include all
statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions. These statements
are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties,
including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this
prospectus.
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity,
performance or achievement. We are not under any duty to update any
of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform
these statements to actual results, unless required by law.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
This
prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold
from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive
any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders
in this offering.
13
DETERMINATION
OF OFFERING PRICE
We are
registering up to 4,433,500 shares for resale by existing holders of our common
stock. There is no established public market for the shares we are
registering. Our management has established the price of $0.20 per
share based upon the price at which recent transactions took place, their
estimates of the market value of STS Turbo, Inc., and the price at which
potential investors might be willing to purchase the shares
offered. Most of the selling shareholders in this offering paid $0.20
per share, and thus will not realize a profit unless and until there is an
active trading market at a higher price.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We anticipate that a market maker will
apply to have our common stock traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board at
some point in the future, but there is no guarantee this will
occur. If successful, the selling stockholders will be able to sell
their shares referenced under “Selling Security Holders” from time to time on
the over-the-counter bulletin board in privately negotiated sales, or on other
markets, at prevailing market rates. If our common stock is not
listed on the over-the-counter bulletin board, the selling stockholders may sell
their shares in privately negotiated transactions. Any securities
sold in brokerage transactions will involve customary brokers’
commissions.
We will
pay all expenses in connection with the registration and sale of the common
stock by the selling security holders, who may be deemed to be underwriters in
connection with their offering of shares. The estimated expenses of
issuance and distribution are set forth below:

Under the
securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in
such states only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. The selling stockholders are advised to ensure that any
underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the
selling stockholders are registered to sell securities in all fifty
states. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may
not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such
state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and we
have complied with them. The selling stockholders and any brokers,
dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of common stock may be
considered underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and
any discounts, concessions or commissions received by those underwriters,
brokers, dealers or agents may be considered underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act of 1933.
In
accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, neither
we nor the selling stockholders may bid for, purchase or attempt to induce any
person to bid for or purchase, any of our common stock while we or they are
selling stock in this offering. Neither we nor any of the selling
stockholders intends to engage in any passive market making or undertake any
stabilizing activity for our common stock. None of the selling
stockholders will engage in any short selling of our securities. We
have been advised that under the rules and regulations of the FINRA, any
broker-dealer may not receive discounts, concessions, or commissions in excess
of 8% in connection with the sale of any securities registered
hereunder.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.001. As of the date hereof, there are 32,396,000 shares of our
common stock issued and outstanding, held by approximately 221 shareholders of
record, and 500,000 shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding and
held by one shareholder.
Common Stock. Each
shareholder of our common stock is entitled to a pro rata share of cash
distributions made to shareholders, including dividend payments. The
holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of record on
all matters to be voted on by shareholders. There is no cumulative
voting with respect to the election of our directors or any other
matter. Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted
for the election of those directors can elect all of the
directors. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive
dividends when and if declared by our Board of Directors from funds legally
available therefore. Cash dividends are at the sole discretion of our
Board of Directors. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all
assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of our
liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any,
having any preference in relation to our common stock. Holders of
shares of our common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription
rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common
stock.
Preferred
Stock. Our Board of Directors has the authority, without
further action by the shareholders, to issue from time to time the preferred
stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares, designations,
preferences, powers and relative, participating, optional or other special
rights and the qualifications or restrictions thereof. The
preferences, powers, rights and restrictions of different series of preferred
stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation,
voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions
and purchase funds and other matters. The issuance of preferred stock
could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to
holders of common stock or affect adversely the rights and powers, including
voting rights, of the holders of common stock, and may have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the
Company.
Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock. On September 10, 2008, we created 500,000 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof,
at any time or from time to time after the issuance of such share, into ten (10)
shares of our common stock. In addition, each outstanding share of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to one hundred (100) votes per
share on all matters to which the shareholders of the Company are entitled or
required to vote. The Company may not take any of the following
actions without the approval of a majority of the holders of the outstanding
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock: (i) effect a sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets or which results in the holders of the
Company’s capital stock prior to the transaction owning less than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock after the transaction,
(ii) alter or change the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, (iii) increase or decrease the number of authorized
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (iv) authorize the issuance of
securities having a preference over or on par with the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, or (v) effectuate a forward or reverse stock split or dividend
of the Company’s common stock. So long as any shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, (a) the Company cannot, without the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, increase the maximum number of
directors constituting the Company’s Board of Directors to a number greater than
seven (7), and (b) the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
acting as a group, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to fill four
(4) of the seats.
21
Dividend Policy. We
have never issued any dividends and do not expect to pay any stock dividend or
any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We
currently intend to retain our earnings, if any, for use in our
business. Any dividends declared on our common stock in the future
will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and subject to any
restrictions that may be imposed by our lenders.
Stock Option
Plan. We have not approved any stock option
plans.
Transfer Agent. We
act as our own transfer agent for our common stock.

DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Company
Overview
Vehicle
trends come and go, but the need for clean, efficient, and powerful automobiles
will never go out of style! Speed enthusiasts have shown resiliency
through all cycles of the economy due to their passion for fast cars, and
automobile manufacturers are constantly searching for technology that will lower
emissions and improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing power. We
design, manufacture, and market a patented turbocharger system for the
automotive market that increases horsepower, improves fuel efficiency, and
reduces the emissions of any vehicle.
Overview
We sell turbocharger systems for
automobiles. The turbochargers can be installed at our facility in
Orem, Utah, or we can ship the parts to our customer and they can have it
installed by a local mechanic in their area. We sell our
turbochargers through the Internet, and through our network of over 200
distributors.
We own 3 patents that cover our
turbochargers. We manufacture some of the parts for our
turbochargers, but most of the parts are purchased from our suppliers and then
packaged and sold to our customers. Our typical customer has
historically been a car enthusiast, however, we are trying to expand our
customer base to include those who want fuel savings and are attracted to the
environmental benefits of our products.
Our future plans are to expand our
product line so that we offer turbochargers for a wider variety of
vehicles. We are also working on a completely new technology that,
although not ready for development yet, might increase the efficiency of larger
vehicles such as tractor trailers.
We were
incorporated on August 28, 2008, in the State of Nevada, as STS Turbo,
Inc. Effective September 12, 2008, we acquired all of the issued and
outstanding securities of Squires Turbo Systems, Inc., a Utah corporation formed
on March 1, 2004, from its shareholders. Squires Turbo Systems, Inc.,
founded by Rick Squires, grew its annual revenues to approximately $2.0 million
in 2008 and has over 2,000 customers. We intend to become a public,
reporting company and intend to seek a market maker to apply to list our common
stock for trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.
Background
Forced
induction, in the form of a supercharger or turbocharger, was introduced in the
early 1900s and has become the standard for increasing the horsepower and torque
of an engine. Forced induction forces more air into the cylinders of
the engine during the intake stroke in order to increase
power. Centrifugal superchargers are currently the preferred option
of most aftermarket performance enthusiasts due to their relatively easy
installation and lower cost, even though they inefficiently pull power from the
engine itself in order to operate the air compressor that forces more air into
the engine. Due to this characteristic, superchargers normally reduce
fuel efficiency and cause the engine to work much harder for the increase in
horsepower they offer.
23
Turbochargers,
however, are a much more efficient way to “boost” a motor’s power and are widely
used in aerospace and diesel applications. Turbochargers utilize the
normally wasted energy in the exhaust of the vehicle to operate the air
compressor. Some of the major automobile manufacturers offer
turbocharged vehicles. However, turbochargers have not flourished in
the automotive industry or the aftermarket industry because of the difficult
task of finding a location to put a 2,000°F component the size of a basketball
under the hood in an already over-crowded engine compartment. Also,
traditional engine-mounted or front-mounted turbocharger systems have had a very
difficult time passing modern emissions standards. Due to the intense
heat loss through the tubing and turbos on a traditional front-mounted system,
the exhaust entering the catalytic converters has cooled down to the point where
the converters can’t operate within their efficiency range, which drives up
harmful emissions and makes it very difficult for these systems to pass
emissions testing.
Turbochargers
have done better in the import market because the motors are smaller and cannot
afford the horsepower loss of a belt-driven supercharger.
Not
surprisingly, turbochargers are a popular option in the racing industry because
of their efficiency and horsepower potential. The data clearly shows
that turbochargers are a more efficient way of generating more power on a
vehicle. The following graph appeared in Hot Rod Magazine in an
article where they compared the horsepower and torque gains from turbochargers,
roots superchargers, and centrifugal superchargers. Even at low RPMs,
exhaust-driven turbos are, we believe, better than superchargers at producing
horsepower.

For
almost 100 years, there were really only two options for adding forced induction
to a vehicle, superchargers or front-mounted turbochargers. The pros
and cons of each technology made it difficult to identify which option was the
best choice, as illustrated below in Exhibit 2.

STS
Technology
STS owns
multiple issued U.S. patents with international patents pending on an innovative
method of turbocharging a vehicle. STS turbocharger systems are not
mounted in the traditional location under the hood in the engine bay, but are
instead mounted in the rear of the vehicle where the stock muffler was
originally located. The muffler is usually then
removed. There are many benefits of this unique method of
turbocharging compared to superchargers and traditional front-mounted
turbochargers.
The
remote location allows for cooler intake air temperatures, cooler turbo oil
temperatures, and cooler under-hood engine components, all of which help to
deliver more horsepower per pound of boost than the competitors’ forced
induction options. More horsepower per pound of boost means that the
engine does not have to work as hard in order to get the same
horsepower. This prolongs engine life, improves reliability, and
reduces the risk of any engine damage.

25
Because
the location of the turbocharger is uniquely in the rear of the vehicle behind
the catalytic converters, the turbo system actually helps reduce emissions by
causing the catalytic converters to get up to operating temperature quicker and
to stay at peak efficiency.
The
mounting location of the turbocharger under the rear of the vehicle allows for a
much quicker and easier installation. If you were to look side by
side at the under-hood view of a traditional front-mounted aftermarket turbo
installation and an STS remote-mount system, the STS system would appear to be
nearly stock. This allows for any maintenance or service work to be
performed as if the vehicle were stock. However, you would notice the very
crowded engine bay of the front-mounted installation which required relocation
and removal of some factory components. With all this additional hardware
under the hood, getting to anything on the engine for routine maintenance would
require removal of nearly all of the turbo-system components, which increases
the cost of maintenance and repairs.

In
addition, the intense heat generated by the headers and turbochargers in the
front of this car would melt everything made of plastic, including the brake
master cylinder and the plastic engine covers, and also warp the hood and
blister the paint. The risk of severe damage to under-hood components and
fire hazard is quite high with a traditional front-mounted turbocharger
system. The under-hood temperatures on the STS system are very similar to
a stock application. By replacing the factory mufflers with the STS
turbochargers, the installation requires no fabrication or component relocation
and can be done in approximately 1/4 the time necessary to install most
traditional front-mounted systems.
26
Due to
the use of “wasted” exhaust energy to create more power from the engine, fuel
efficiency normally increases about 10-20% with the turbocharger as compared
with the stock vehicle and the turbocharged vehicle now has more
horsepower.. Please note that these results come from our own
internal tests, conducted on a limited number of vehicles, and have not been
verified by a third party. It is our belief that an even greater fuel
efficiency improvement can be achieved when comparing two vehicles with
approximately the same horsepower – one with a smaller engine that is
turbocharged, and one that has a larger stock engine.

The
results, shown in Exhibit 6, show that at 5 psi of boost, this sports car gained
about 200 horsepower to the rear wheels, which is an increase of about
55%.

New
Technology
In January 2010, we acquired the
rights to a new power producing technology from our founder, Richard K.
Squires. This technology harnesses wasted energy that already exists
in vehicles, and converts that wasted energy into a usable power source capable
of increasing the fuel mileage and efficiency of all types of
vehicles. We have not fully developed the technology yet, and we have
not applied for our patents yet. However, we believe this technology
is exciting and that there may be a market for it.
The
Market
According
to SEMA, the automotive aftermarket in the U.S. is a $35 billion dollar industry
that is growing at about 7% per year. Competitive research shows that
domestic automotive aftermarket-only forced induction systems represent
approximately $200 million dollars per year. This does not include
international or applications beyond everyday cars and trucks. The
majority of the customers are 25-55 year-old males that have an addiction to
horsepower. They already spend thousands of dollars per year on
numerous aftermarket upgrades for their vehicles, but adding horsepower is
usually their favorite upgrade. They drive sports
cars. They also may drive trucks and use them often for towing their
other “toys” behind them.
It is
widely believed that as gas prices rise and emissions requirements become
stricter, consumers across the world will demand clean, efficient vehicles that
do not sacrifice performance. Governments will also continue to
require cleaner and more efficient vehicles. This will increase the
total market for our products. Vehicles that retain exceptional
performance with smaller motors, reduced emissions, and increased gas mileage,
will be in high demand.
29
Marketing
and Sales
Our
marketing is currently focused on exposing the products through various media,
including automotive performance magazine ads, magazine editorial articles,
pay-per-click and SEO online lead generation, paid-for TV features and editorial
on automotive performance TV shows, and sponsored race events. The
focus of this marketing is usually to encourage potential customers to visit the
STS website to learn more. Interested customers will submit a contact
request on the website, call the toll free phone number, or email the STS sales
team. A member of the sales team will call them within a day or two
to answer questions and close the sale. Some customers will choose to
contact a local distributor in their area (distributors are listed on the STS
website) instead of contacting STS directly.
Marketing
is currently focused heavily on educating the customer about the new
remote-mount technology and why it is better than the traditional
options. It is also focused on getting the STS brand name in front of
as many potential customers as possible so that they will eventually desire to
learn about the STS technology and purchase product.
We
currently have two sales channels: 1) direct-to-consumer, and 2) independent
distributors. Revenues are split approximately equally between these
two channels. In addition to our historical efforts, we intend to
improve our marketing efforts in the following areas:
|
·
|
Improvement
of current independent distributor
network,
|
|
·
|
Expansion
of independent distributor

Competition
Even
though our remote-mount technology has many advantages over front-mounted
superchargers and turbochargers, the market for our products is highly
competitive and is becoming more so, which could hinder our ability to
successfully market our products. We may not have the resources or
other competitive factors to compete successfully in the future. We
expect to face additional competition from existing competitors and new market
entrants in the future. Many of our competitors have greater name
recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we
do.
The
competitive landscape of the automotive performance market is characterized by a
dominant position held by companies that produce superchargers over companies
that produce turbochargers. Currently, the centrifugal supercharger
market is dominated by Vortech Engineering, LLC, which controls approximately
50% of the market. Established in 1990, Vortech Engineering, LLC
offers a variety of automotive performance products including complete
supercharging systems for many makes and models, fuel system components, and
air-to-water aftercoolers for domestic and import
vehicles. Procharger is the other main competitor in the centrifugal
supercharger market and has strong ties to the racing industry. It
has been in business for about 10 years and was founded by racers that were
frustrated with Vortech’s offerings.
The
turbocharger market is characterized by strong competition between several
smaller companies. Our primary competitors are APS and
Turbonetics. APS is located in Australia and sells front-mount
turbocharger bolt-on systems and parts. It currently is somewhat
limited in the number of makes and models for which it offers
systems. Turbonetics focuses more on the engineering of innovative
turbocharger parts, but also offers complete bolt-on systems for some limited
models of cars and trucks. Other competitors include Rev Hard, GReddy
Performance Products, Edelbrock, and Garrett.
30
Despite
the strong competition, we anticipate that our intellectual property and unique
features will distinguish us from our competition in the immediate future and
allow us to build our brand. There are several key components to our
remote-mounted turbocharging technology, including the remote location and the
oiling system. The remote location allows for a quick install, cooler
oil/engine components, and cooler intake temperatures, all of which help to
deliver more horsepower per pound of boost than our
competitors. Because the location is behind the catalytic converters,
the turbo system actually helps reduce emissions by causing the catalytic
converters to get up to operating temperature quicker and to stay at peak
efficiency. The oiling system is unique in that it uses a check valve device to
prevent oil flow to the turbocharger when the engine is not running, but
allowing oil to flow freely to the turbocharger when the engine is
running. The oiling system also uses a scavenge pump to evacuate the
oil from the turbocharger and return that oil to the engine.
Our
patent applications address not only turbocharger location in relation to
factory emissions equipment, outside of the engine bay, and remotely from the
engine, but also oiling the turbocharger separately from the
engine.
If you
were to look side by side at the under-hood view of a traditional front-mounted
custom turbo installation and an STS remote-mount system, the STS system would
appear to be nearly stock. This allows for any maintenance or service work to be
performed as if the vehicle were stock.
By
replacing the factory mufflers with the STS turbochargers, the installation
requires no fabrication/modification to the vehicle and can be done in
approximately 1/4 the time necessary to install most conventional front-mounted
systems.
Another
inherent competitive advantage of our business is that new STS turbo systems can
be developed faster than the competitors’ new offerings. The basic
design is the same on all applications and the only significant difference is
the plumbing and tuning.
A final
competitive advantage is the unique sound that our turbochargers make due to the
fact that it replaces the factory muffler. Our customers like
anything that is unique and that makes their vehicle stand out from the
rest. Other competitor products make loud, unpleasant sounds and
require expensive exhaust system modifications in addition to the turbo or
supercharger upgrades.
Research
and Development
Since our inception, there have been no
material expenditures on research and development activities. Squires
Turbo Systems, Inc., a Utah corporation wholly-owned by us, has spent over
$1,000,000 on research and development activities since its
inception.
Raw
Materials and Third-Party Suppliers
Substantially
all of our products are manufactured by unaffiliated
manufacturers. We have no long-term contracts with our suppliers or
manufacturing sources, and we compete with other companies for raw materials,
production and import quota capacity. We purchase raw materials such
as bent steel tubing, steel flanges, and ceramic coating from third-party
manufacturers such as B&C Industries, Inc., Precision Laser Processing, and
Jet-Hot Coatings. We combine these materials during our manufacturing
process to assemble the kits necessary to retrofit our turbocharger products
onto specific vehicles.
31
Intellectual
Property
We hold the following three (3) U.S.
patents for Remote-mounted Turbo Systems:
|
·
|
(U.S.
Patent #6,745,568);
|
|
·
|
(U.S.
Patent #7,134,282); and
|
|
·
|
(U.S.
Patent#7,469,539)
|
Our
U.S. patents focus mainly on the location of the turbocharger being placed
outside of the engine bay and mounted remotely from the engine. This
includes most areas on the vehicle including, but not limited to, the space
where the factory muffler is located.
Our
U.S. patents will begin to expire in early 2023. International
patents for Remote-Mounted Turbo Systems are pending in Australia and
Europe. We expect to be granted international patents beginning in
18-24 months.
Existing
or Probable Governmental Regulations
We are not aware of any material
negative effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on our
business.

Summary
Overview
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, we
manufacture and market aftermarket turbo systems for the automotive
market. Our technology was created and patented by our founder,
Richard K. Squires. We have been in business since 2004.
Results
of Operations for the Year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2008
Introduction
Our business operations for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are very similar. Our
revenues, cost of goods sold, and gross profit are very consistent throughout
the two years.
Revenues, Expenses and Loss
from Operations
Our revenue, cost of goods sold, and
gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2008, are as follows:

Our revenue dropped by just over 10%
as a result of the overall drop in the economy, specifically for aftermarket
automobile parts, and changes in the demand for our varying product mix at any
given time.
34
Our cost of goods sold dropped by
just over 20%, which is a significantly larger drop than the drop in our sales,
because of our increase efficiency in maintaining and purchasing inventory and
other operational improvements. As a result of these efficiencies,
despite our drop in revenues, our gross profit increased by over
8%.
Our general and administrative
expenses, depreciation, marketing and sales expenses, research and development
expenses, total operating expenses, and operating loss for the year ended
December 31, 2009, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, are as

Our general and administrative
expenses were reduced by over 3% in 2009 as we continued to make, and realize
the benefit from, changes to our management team. Our marketing and
sales expenses decreased by over 80% because we had to limit our expenditures
because of our reduced revenue levels. We do anticipate the need to
increase our marketing and sales expenditures in 2010, but not at the previous
levels. For the same reasons, we decreased our research and
development costs for the second straight year. We believe that our
research and development expenditures in 2008 are more reflective of normal
costs to maintain our product line, and for this reason we intend to resume our
level of research and development spending as soon as possible.
Our total operating expenses were
reduced by over 35% for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2008, and our operating loss was reduced by over 87% to
$(69,762). Given the overall state of the economy, we are pleased
with our ability to make adjustments and minimize our operating
loss.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Introduction
During
the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, because of our operating losses, we
did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as
of May 10, 2010 was approximately $118,000, and our monthly cash flow burn rate
(net of cost of goods sold) is approximately $60,000. During the
first three months of 2010, our revenue has averaged nearly double that
amount. Nonetheless, we have significant short term cash
needs. These needs are being satisfied through cash flows from our
operations.
Our
cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities
as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are as follows:

Our current assets increased by
$8,713 as of December 31, 2009 as compared to December 31, 2008, primarily as a
result of our increase in inventory of $23,643, offset by a decrease in prepaid
expenses of $19,558. These same changes, plus a reduction in our
property and equipment, net, result in our reduction in total assets of
$14,856.
Our current liabilities decreased by
$522,299, or over 47%, as of December 31, 2009 as compared to December 31,
2008. A large portion of this was a decrease in customer deposits and
deferred revenue of $219,687, and a decrease in accounts payable of $242,700, as
we finished and shipped a backlog of orders.
Our total liabilities decreased by
$464,145, or over 36%, as of December 31, 2009 as compared to December 31, 2008,
primarily because of our reduction in current liabilities as described
above.
We
have taken steps to reduce our debt burden and improve shareholders’
equity. During 2008, we reduced our debt burden by converting
$750,000 of revolving debt into shares of our common stock, thereby also
reducing interest costs. In January of 2009, we successfully issued
shares of our common stock in a private placement that generated $526,699 in new
equity financing to augment cash flows.
In
2009, our products moved from product development into the manufacturing
stage. As a result, the cost of goods sold were reduced and gross
margins improved. We have also undertaken measures to reduce overhead
costs to improve operating results.

order to repay our debt obligations in full or in part when due, we will be
required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no
assurance, however, that we will be successful in these
efforts.
Cash
Requirements
We had very little cash available as
of December 31, 2009. We were continuing to borrow from our
shareholders and other related parties to fund operations.
Sources and Uses of
Cash
Operations
We had a net loss from operating
activities of $506,452 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to a
net loss of $188,539 for the year ended December 31, 2008. For 2008,
the net loss consisted primarily of our net loss of $93,059, increased in large
part by a decrease in accounts payable of $242,700 and customer deposits and
deferred revenue of $219,687.
Financing
Our net cash provided by financing
activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $509,149, compared to
$166,671 for the year ended December 31, 2008. For 2009, our
financing activities consisted almost entirely of $526,699 in proceeds from the
sale of stock as we completed a private placement.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to
make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates,
including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, bad debts, income
taxes, employee benefits, contingencies and litigation. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies and estimates affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition. Revenue recognition is significant because
revenue is a key component of our results of operations. Revenue is
recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered, the seller’s price is fixed or
determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We have a
policy in place in which customers can have their turbo systems tuned for 30
days after the sale. We have not fulfilled our obligation until the
30 day period is over and revenue is not recognized until the 30 day period is
complete. Payments received from customers prior to the shipment of
products or before the 30 day fulfillment period on turbo systems, are recorded
as deferred revenue and treated as an accrued liability until the recognition of
revenue takes place. Revenue related to service is recognized upon
completion of performance of the service.
37
In
addition, the timing of certain expenses, such as cost of sales, including
installation and tuning of the turbo system and warranty, coincides with the
recognition of the related revenues. We follow specific guidelines in
measuring revenue; however, certain judgments may be required in the application
of our revenue recognition policy.
Inventories. Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market on an average cost
basis. Accordingly, we write down the carrying value of inventories
for estimated obsolescence and future marketability. On a quarterly
basis, we compare historical and projected sales and usage of raw materials and
parts and our assumptions about future use of raw materials, parts and finished
goods with our forecast, market demand and industry conditions to determine
potential obsolescence or whether the inventory on hand represents excess
quantities. As a result of our analysis, we record reserves impacting
Cost of Sales, if appropriate. These reserves are subject to
management judgment and if actual future use, demand or market conditions are
less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory valuation
write-downs may be required. Historically inventory write offs have
been minimal.
Warranty
Obligations. We provide for the estimated cost of equipment
warranties when the related revenue is recognized. We track
individual warranties on each system and develop estimated accruals based on
this history. These accruals are revised periodically to reflect
current cost trends. The warranty accrual is reduced by actual costs
of providing the warranty or if a balance is remaining at the end of the
warranty period, then that amount is also written off. Warranty
accrual expense impacts primarily Cost of Sales. While we engage in
product quality programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by
product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in
correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates,
material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to
the estimated warranty liability would be required and would be recorded as an
increase in cost of sales and operating expenses in the period in which the
revision is deemed necessary.
Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required
payments. We record expense as a component of Selling, General and
Administrative within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. If
the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances and expense
may be required. Historical losses due to bad debt have been
minimal.
Deferred Tax
Assets. We make estimates to determine the amount of our
deferred tax assets that we believe is more likely than not to be
realized. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent tax
planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation
allowance. However, should we determine that we will be able to
realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an increase in
the deferred tax asset would impact our results of operations in the period such
determination was made.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In
2004, Squires Turbo Systems, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, executed a
promissory note in favor of Richard K. Squires, our officer and
director. The note bears interest at the rate of fifteen percent per
year. During 2008, Mr. Squires exchanged a portion of that debt
aggregating $250,000 in exchange for 1,250,000 shares of our common
stock. This note was due in full in February of 2009, however prior
to the due date our subsidiary entered into a twelve (12) month extension that
rolled all of the accrued interest into the unpaid principal
balance. During 2009, Mr. Squires accepted the titles to certain of
the our automobiles as payment of debt and accrued interest in lieu of cash,
totaling $25,400. A gain of $15,649, the excess of the debt and
accrued interest reduction over the carrying value of the assets, was recorded
to additional paid in capital related to these transactions. In
February 2010 the Company entered into a new twelve (12) month extension on the
note and the note continues to bear interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%)
per annum. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the balance due under
this note was $106,292 and $68,658, respectively, all of which was recorded as
current. No interest or principal was paid on these notes during the
year.
In
2004, Squires Turbo Systems, Inc. entered into a revolving line of credit
agreement with David Ruff, one of our shareholders, to provide revolving credit
facilities in the amount of $140,000. Advances under the revolving
loans would bear interest at a rate of eight percent per year, payable
monthly. As of December 31, 2008, the revolving debt arrangement was
converted into a term note, payable in thirty six monthly installments and
bearing interest at eight percent per year, with a balance of $50,691 at
September 30, 2009. During 2009 no payments were made on the loan and
our subsidiary went into default, however on December 31, 2009, the subsidiary
entered into a note extension wherein the lender agreed that the terms of the
original note were not in default and that all principal and interest under the
note would be due on December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2009 the
balance due under the note was $50,691, all of which was recorded as long
term. As of December 31, 2008 the balance due under this note was
$50,691, where $15,569 of the balance was short-term and $35,122 of the balance
was long term.
In
2004, Squires Turbo Systems, Inc. entered into a revolving line of credit
agreement with RuffTech II, LLC, an entity controlled by David Ruff, one of our
shareholders, to provide revolving credit facilities in the amount of
$560,000. Advances under the revolving loans now bear interest at a
rate of ten percent per year, payable monthly. If there is an
outstanding balance as of December 31, 2010, then the loans convert to a term
loan of thirty six months. During 2008, the shareholder converted
$500,000 of the revolving debt into 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the balances due under the
revolving credit facilities were $4,262, none of which were recorded as
current.
On
September 12, 2008, pursuant to that certain Reorganization and Stock Purchase
Agreement dated September 10, 2008, by and among us, on the one hand, and
Squires Turbo Systems, Inc., a Utah corporation, and its shareholders, on the
other hand, we issued an aggregate of 20,462,500 shares of our common stock and
500,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the shareholders
of Squires Turbo Systems, Inc. Our officers and directors at the time
received shares as follows: Enoch M. Golding (1,250,000 shares of common stock
that were later cancelled per the terms of his employment agreement), Richard K.
Squires (10,000,000 shares of common stock and 500,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock), Benjamin P. Cahoon (1,337,500 shares of common
stock), Eric J. Ruff (3,900,000 shares of common stock), and Dave South
(1,250,000 shares of common stock).
43
On
September 22, 2008, we issued 1,250,000 and 2,500,000 shares of our common
stock, respectively, to Richard K. Squires and Eric J. Ruff, each then an
officer or director, in exchange for the cancellation of debt in the amount of
$250,000 and $500,000.
On May 8,
2009, certain of our shareholders entered into a Lock-Up Agreement whereby they
agreed that they would sell any of their common stock of the company for a
period of one year following the date that our common stock is first listed for
trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. Enoch M. Golding,
Richard K. Squires, and Eric J. Ruff are each subject to the lock-up
agreement.
On
January 13, 2010, pursuant to that certain IP Transfer and Securities Purchase
Agreement, we issued 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Richard K. Squires,
our officer and director, in exchange for certain intellectual
property.

Incorporation provides that, the corporation shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by Section 78.751 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Nevada, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all
persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and
against any and all expenses, liabilities, or other matters referred to in or
covered by said section.
There are
no resolutions of our shareholders or directors which address
indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business
issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business
issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.

at their predecessor cost of $0.001 per share, for a total of

sophisticated and familiar with our operations.

Undertakings
A. Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our
director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the
opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-K) if, in the

Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
STS
Turbo, Inc.
Orem,
Utah
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STS Turbo, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of STS Turbo, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10
to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations, has an accumulated deficit of $2,304,451 and has a working capital
deficit of $299,592 at December 31, 2009, which together raises substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 10. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
|
This
summary of significant accounting policies of STS Turbo, Inc. & Subsidiary
(the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting
policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been
consistently applied in the presentation of the consolidated financial
statements. The Company uses the accrual method of accounting and has
elected a December 31 year end.
A summary
of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
STS
Turbo, Inc. (“STS”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 28, 2008
as a “C” corporation. On September 10, 2008, STS entered into a
transaction with Squires Turbo Systems, Inc. (“Squires”), a Utah corporation,
incorporated on February 18, 2004. All of the outstanding common
stock of Squires was exchanged for 500,000 shares of preferred stock and
18,587,500 shares of common stock of STS. The transaction was in
substance a forward stock split and therefore has been accounted for as such.
The shares issued have been retroactively presented as outstanding during 2009
and 2008. There have been no adjustments to the carrying value of the
assets and liabilities of Squires.

Nature of

consumers and through a network of distributors. STS’
turbochargers significantly enhance the horsepower output of conventional
automobile engines. The Company’s systems are designed to
install on a variety of automobile makes and
models.

Accounts Receivable –
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$11,379 and $9,247 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Accounts
outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past
due. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines
that they are uncollectible. The Company sells its products to
distributors and consumers across the United States and predominantly requires
payment with order or at shipment to distributors and consumers, usually by
credit card or other means. Sales to distributors are not generally
sold on credit terms. The Company monitors the need for an allowance
for doubtful accounts based upon specific identification of uncollectible
accounts. Historical losses due to bad debts have been
minimal.
|
Inventory –
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the average-cost
method. Inventory consists of raw materials, work in process
and finished goods of the STS Turbo systems and related
components.
|
|
Property and
Equipment – Property and equipment are carried at
cost. Depreciation for financial reporting and tax reporting is
provided using accelerated methods as shown below. Use of a tax
method for depreciation would normally be a departure from generally
accepted accounting principles; however, the difference is considered
immaterial, for all periods presented, in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

Impairment of
long-lived assets– The Company’s long-lived assets consists of
property and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be
held and used is measured by the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows,
an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Significant
management judgment is required in determining the fair value of our
long-lived assets to measure impairment, including projections of future
cash flows. The Company did not recognize any impairment
charges in 2009 or 2008.

|
Patents – The Company
owns three issued US Patents covering certain aspects of its proprietary turbo
charger systems and technology. The Company has not recorded any
costs related to its patent on the balance sheet, but has charged these costs to
expense when incurred.
|
Revenue
Recognition – Revenues are recognized at the time products are
shipped and the Company has fulfilled all of their obligations to their
customer. The Company has a policy in place in which customers can have
their turbo systems tuned (vehicle computer recalibration service) for 30
days after the sale. The Company has not fulfilled their obligation until
the 30 day period is over.
|
|
Payments
received from customers prior to the shipment of products or before the 30
day fulfillment period on turbo systems, are recorded as deferred revenue
and treated as an accrued liability until the recognition of revenue takes
place. Total deferred revenue for December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $123,669
and $102,055. The customer has no right of return after the 30 day period
is over. Shipping and handling costs are recorded in cost of goods sold
upon shipment. The Company excludes from revenues the sales taxes it
collects on behalf of governmental authorities.
|
|
Income Taxes –
Squires Turbo Systems, Inc., the operating subsidiary of the Company,
initially elected, with the consent of its shareholders, to be treated as
an “S” corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. In lieu of
corporation income taxes, the shareholders of an S corporation are taxed
on their proportionate share of the corporation’s taxable
income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes had been
included in the financial statements from the inception of Squires Turbo
Systems, Inc.
|
|
On
September 10, 2008, pursuant to a Reorganization and Stock Purchase
Agreement, Squires Turbo Systems, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of
STS Turbo, Inc., thereby terminating the election to be taxed as an S
corporation.
|
For the
period of September 11, 2008 to December 31, 2009, deferred taxes are provided
on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible
temporary differences and operation loss and tax credit carry forwards and
deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax
bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when,
in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and
rates on the date of enactment.

Due
to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net

The
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. ASC
740-10 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not
that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the
technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is
met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to
recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation
of ASC 740-10, the Company performed a review of its material tax
positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards
established by ASC 740-10.
|
|
At
the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax
benefit which would affect the effective tax rate if
recognized.
|
|
The
Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of
income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations in the provision
for income taxes. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no
accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax
positions.
|
|
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in
the state of Utah. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject
to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by
tax authorities for years before
2006.

Advertising –
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and totaled approximately
$7,000 and $120,000 in 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

Research and
development costs – Research and development costs have been
charged to expense as incurred. Research and development costs
were approximately $24,000 and $74,000 in 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
|
|
Use of
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Fair value – The
carrying value of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair values due to the
short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long and
short-term debt and lines of credit approximate fair value because the
applicable interest rates approximate current market rates. Fair value estimates
are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information. The
Company classifies its financial instruments into three levels or pricing
categories as outlined below:
|
Level 1: Financial
instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market
exchanges.
|
|
Level
2: Financial instruments lacking unadjusted, quoted prices from
active market exchanges, including over-the-counter traded financial
instruments. The prices for the financial instruments are determined
using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar
underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such
as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted
intervals.
|
|
Level
3: Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a
market exchange. This category includes situations where there is
little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The
prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation
techniques. The following tables summarize the valuation of the
Company's financial instruments by the aforementioned pricing categories

Recently adopted accounting
standards– In January 2009, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 168,
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS
No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied
by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The FASB will no longer
issue new standards of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task
Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards
Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in
their own right as they will only serve to update the
Codification. The issuance of SFAS No. 168 and the Codification does
not change GAAP. Adoption of SFAS No. 168 did not have an impact on
the financial statements.
In
January 2009, the Company adopted ASC 855-10 Subsequent Events, which describes
two types of subsequent events that previously were addressed in the auditing
literature, one that requires post-period end adjustment to the financial
statements being issued, and one that requires footnote disclosure only.
Adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements or results of operations.
Accounting pronouncements
issued not yet adopted – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860-10
Accounting for Transfers of Financial, which limits the circumstances in which a
transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset; defines a
participating interest; requires a transferor to recognize and initially measure
at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a
transfer accounted for as a sale; and required enhanced disclosures; among
others. ASC 860-10 is applicable for annual reporting periods
beginning after November 15, 2009 and related interim reporting periods with
early adoption prohibited. Management is currently evaluating the
potential impact of ASC 860-10 on the financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued ASC 810-10, which modifies the guidance related to
consolidation of variable interest entities by eliminating the quantitative
approach for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity,
requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity, eliminates the concept of a
“qualified special purpose entity,” and requires additional disclosures
regarding information related to an enterprises involvement in a variable
interest entity. This is applicable for annual reporting periods
beginning after November 15, 2009 and related interim reporting periods with
early adoption prohibited. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this
on its financial statements.

Transactions

During
the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, certain officers and shareholders of
the Company provided short and long term loans to augment the cash flow needs of
the Company. The loans represent revolving lines of credit agreements, term loan
agreements and non‐interest bearing compensation deferrals. These arrangements
bear interest ranging from 8% to 15% and are secured by certain assets of the
Company. Certain officers and principal shareholders of the Company
are guarantors on a variety of obligations of the Company.
During
2004, the Company entered into a promissory note with an officer and shareholder
that bears interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum on the unpaid
balance. During 2008, the shareholder exchanged a portion of debt

$250,000
in exchange for 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This note was
due in full in February of 2009, however prior to the due date the Company
entered into a twelve (12) month extension that rolled all of the accrued
interest into the unpaid principal balance. During 2009, the shareholder
accepted the titles to certain of the Company’s automobiles as payment of debt
and accrued interest in lieu of cash, totaling $25,400. A gain of $15,649, the
excess of the debt and accrued interest reduction over the carrying value of the
assets, was recorded to additional paid in capital related to these
transactions. In February 2010 the Company entered into a new twelve (12) month
extension on the note and the note continues to bear interest at a rate of
fifteen percent (15%) per annum. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the balance
due under this note was $106,292 and $68,658, respectively, all of which was
recorded as current.
During
2004, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with a
shareholder to provide revolving credit facilities in the amount of $140,000.
Advances under the revolving loans would bear interest at a rate of eight
percent (8%) per annum, payable monthly. Because the Company did not repay all
of the amounts under the revolving lines by December 31, 2008, the loan
converted to a term loan payable over a thirty six (36) month term. During 2009
no payments were made on the loan and the Company went into default; however on
December 31, 2009 the Company entered into a note extension wherein the lender
agreed that the terms of the original note were not in default and that all
principal and interest under the note would be due on December 31, 2012. At
December 31, 2009 the balance due under the note was $50,691, all of which was
recorded as long term. As of December 31, 2008 the balance due under this note
was $50,691, where $15,569 of the balance was short-term and $35,122 of the
balance was long term.
During
2004, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreements with a
shareholder to provide revolving credit facilities in the amount of $560,000.
Advances under the revolving loans would bear interest at a rate of eight
percent (8%) per annum, payable monthly, until March 28, 2008. After March 28,
2008, the loans would bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
Should the Company not repay all of the amounts under the revolving lines by
December 31, 2010, the loan will convert to a term note payable over a thirty
six (36) month term. During 2008, the shareholder converted $500,000 of the
revolving debt into 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the balances due under the revolving credit
facilities were $4,262, none of which were recorded as current.
An
officer and shareholder of the Company has unpaid accrued wages due to him in
the amount of $161,022 and $116,815 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Because the Company has had no plans to make payments on this liability within
twelve (12) months of their reporting date the amounts have been classified as
long term with a due date of January 2011.

Related Party
Transactions (continued)
|
The
President and CEO of the Company has a controlling share in the voting stock of
the Company, as he owns more than 50% of the shares. This gives him effective
power to control the vote on substantially all significant matters without the
approval of other stockholders.

Lines of
Credit
|
The
Company has a line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo and Advanta. The line
with Advanta was paid off in 2010. The Wells Fargo line bears interest of 8% per
year and has no maturity date, as it is an open line. The total balance on the
lines of credit was $112,290 and $118,566 at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The financing agreements contain certain covenants. As of
December 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with its debt
covenants.

Shareholders’
Equity
|
The
Company’s policy is to value share issuances at fair value. Fair value is
determined by looking at what is more readily determinable, the value of the
common stock or the value of the consideration received. Prior to the Company
having any trading of its common stock, fair value is determined by examining
stock sales with third parties.
In
September of 2008, certain holders of Squires Turbo Systems Inc. notes payable
aggregating $750,000 exchanged these notes for 3,750,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock. Because the transaction was with related parties, the
shares were valued at the amount of debt which was converted to
equity.
In
September of 2008, the Company entered into two employment agreements which
provided for the employees to purchase 37,500 presplit (1,875,000 post split)
shares for $375 or $0.0002 per share. At the time the Company entered into the
employment agreements, the fair value of the stock was determined to be the
presplit par value of $0.01 per share.
During
2008, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value
$0.001 (the “Preferred Stock”), as part of the reorganization to acquire the
outstanding shares of
Squires. The terms of the Preferred Shares provide for non-cumulative
dividends to be paid concurrent with any dividends payable to common
shareholders, certain preferential rights upon the liquidation, sale or other
winding up of the affairs of the Company and certain other protective
provisions. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into ten
(10) shares of the Company’s common stock and each share is entitled to vote the
equivalent of one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s common
stock.

Shareholders’ Equity
(continued)
|
During
2009, an officer and principal shareholder of the Company accepted the titles to
certain of the Company’s automobiles as payment of debt and accrued interest in
lieu of cash, totaling $25,400. The automobiles were valued at fair value at the
time of the agreement. A gain of $15,649, the excess of the debt and accrued
interest reduction over the carrying value of the assets, was recorded to
additional paid in capital related to these transactions.
In
January 2009, the Company entered into an agreement and completed the sale of
2,633,500 shares of its common stock to a group of investors in a private
placement transaction for cash aggregating $526,699.
In
connection with the successful completion of the sale of common shares through a
private placement transaction in January 2009, the Company issued 1,250,000
shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant assisting in the
transaction and 550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a legal firm
representing the Company in the transaction, for a total of 1,800,000
shares. Based on the price paid by the investors in the private placement
transaction for the Company’s common stock, the shares issued for these services
were valued at $250,000 and $110,000, respectively; $360,000 in total.
This value has been recorded as stock offering costs and charged against the
proceeds from the private placement.
There are
no options outstanding at December 31, 2008 or 2009.

Going Concern
Uncertainty
|
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. Because of recurring
operating losses, the excess of current liabilities over current assets, the
stockholders’ deficit, and negative cash flows from operations, there is
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
At
December 31, 2009, the Company had total current liabilities of $574,766 and
current assets of $275,174, resulting in a working capital deficiency of
$299,592. At December 31, 2009, the Company had total liabilities of
$796,439. At December 31 2009, the Company had a total shareholders’
deficit of $505,300.
The
Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on attaining profitable
operations, obtaining additional outside financing and/or restructuring its debt
obligations. The Company has funded losses from operations primarily
from the issuance of debt to related parties (current shareholders and lenders
of the Company), and the increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses.

Going Concern
Uncertainty (continued)
|
During
2009 and 2008, the Company incurred operating losses due to investment in the
development of new products and due to the high cost of components of its
turbocharger systems. Also, the Company’s gross margin on products
sold was reduced through price discounting of its turbocharger systems to
generate ongoing sales.
The
Company has taken steps to reduce its debt burden and improve shareholders’
equity. During 2008, the Company reduced its debt burden by
converting $750,000 of revolving debt into shares of its common stock, thereby
also reducing interest costs. In
January
of 2009, the Company successfully issued shares of its common stock in a private
placement that generated $526,699 in new equity financing to augment cash
flows.
In 2009,
the Company’s products moved from product development into the manufacturing
stage. As a result, the cost of goods sold were reduced and gross
margins improved. The Company has also undertaken measures to reduce
overhead costs to improve operating results.
In order
to repay its debt obligations in full or in part when due, the Company will be
required to raise significant capital from other sources. The Company
plans to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in early 2010 with the plan to raise additional equity capital
through sales of its common stock. There is no assurance, however,
that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Subsequent
Events
|
In
January 2010, the Company purchased intellectual property from an officer and
shareholder of the Company. The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock
to the officer and shareholder in exchange for all rights, title and interests
in a proprietary green power producing technology for automobiles. Because this
is a related party acquisition, these shares were valued at par value of $.001
per share which is deemed to represent the predecessor value of the transferred
technology.
In
January 2010, the Company paid off the line of credit with Advanta in
full.
In February 2010, the Company cancelled 1,250,000 shares of common
stock.
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 14, 2010 , the date on
which the financial statements were issued.
