PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "Risk Factors" section, the Financial Statements and the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Our Company

As a result of our merger with NuGen Mobility, Inc. in January 2010, we are, through our NuGen subsidiary, engaged in the development, design, and marketing of a technology related to creating a permanent magnet electrical motor systems. Our revenue is derived primarily from contract research and development engineering services. Our technology relates to specialty electric drive engines and related components. This technology is currently being sold directly to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) pursuant to technical assistance agreements. The agreements generally provide for us to engineer our technology to run in various platforms (e.g. vehicles, electric generators and motors) and to be adapted to a customer’s particular application. We offer these services from our facility located in Virginia, to customers that require high-efficiency, reliable, compact permanent magnet electrical motor systems, controllers, vehicle interface modules (including energy storage, management and monitoring systems) and related software. Our technology is used primarily to convert electrical power into mechanical power so that mechanical power can be used to propel a vehicle or run a generator and may be used in markets ranging from electric/hybrid electric vehicles to materials handling equipment, distributive power, ground support equipment, motion control, and military systems. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, sales to two customers, both based in India, accounted for more than 89% of our revenues and for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, one customer, which is located in India, accounted for 84% of our revenues.

Our offices are located at 44645 Guilford Drive, Suite 201, Ashburn, Virginia and our telephone number is: (703) 858-0036.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation on September 27, 2007 under the name “Expedite 1, Inc.” and on February 11, 2008, pursuant to a change of control, changed our name to InovaChem, Inc. Prior to our acquisition of NuGen Mobility, Inc., InovaChem was an early development stage company with no revenues and no business operations. It was anticipated that InovaChem would develop a strategic plan to reduce certain food, pharmaceutical and other products’ costs by utilizing new technologies. Due to the uncertainty of the state of the economy, InovaChem was unable to pursue this opportunity and had conducted virtually no business other than organizational matters, and filings of periodic reports with the SEC. InovaChem abandoned this strategic plan and sought to acquire an operating company.

NuGen Mobility, Inc was organized as a Delaware corporation on September 8, 2006 for the purpose of engaging in research, development and manufacture of permanent magnet electrical motor systems and related electric controls.

On January 29, 2010, InovaChem completed the acquisition of NuGen Mobility, Inc (“NuGen” or “NuGen Mobility”), through a reverse subsidiary merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to which NuGen became InovaChem’s wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of the Merger, we intend to carry on NuGen’s business as our sole line of business and will no longer be in the previous business of attempting to utilize new technologies to reduce certain food, pharmaceutical and other products’ costs. On February 26, 2010, our board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation changing the Company’s name from InovaChem, Inc. to NuGen Holdings, Inc. The Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation became effective on March 4, 2010.

The Merger resulted in a change in control of our company and also a change in some of the members of our management team. Our fiscal year remained September 30.

The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. NuGen is the acquirer for accounting purposes and NuGen Holdings, formerly known as InovaChem, is the acquiree. Accordingly, NuGen’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the Merger. The accumulated deficit of NuGen is carried forward after the acquisition. Operations prior to the Merger are those of NuGen. Earnings per share for the period prior to the Merger are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.

RISK FACTORS

There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business and Industry

We have a limited operating history and net losses which make it difficult to evaluate our operations.

We are still an early stage company. We have had limited assets and operations since our organization. We have generated revenues of $624,695 and $796,847, for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2008 and 2009 respectively. For the nine months ending June 30, 2009 and 2010, we generated revenues of $537,751 and $261,394, respectively. We had net losses of $489,583 and $322,509, for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2008 and 2009 respectively, and net losses for the nine months ending June 30, 2009 and 2010 of $282,846 and $1,184,520, respectively. We face all of the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays, problems and difficulties typically encountered in developing and commercializing our services and technology. It is possible that we will have unanticipated expenses, problems or technical difficulties that could cause material delays in the development, regulatory approval or market acceptance of our technology and services.

We estimate that we only have sufficient funds to continue operations until November 2010 and we will need additional funds to continue operations at current levels.

We estimate that at our current rate of expenditures, we only have sufficient funds to continue operations until approximately November 2010. Accordingly, we require additional financing through public or private debt or equity financings to continue operations and to fund the commercialization of our technology and effectuate our business plan. As we are generating negative cash flow from our operations, we will be totally dependent on external sources of financing for the foreseeable future, for which we have no commitments. We may not be able to raise additional capital when needed or, if we are able to raise additional capital, it may not be on favorable terms. Any such additional capital would be likely to dilute our then-existing stockholders and may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to the shares held by existing stockholders. Our failure to raise additional funds in the future will adversely affect our business operations, and may require us to suspend our operations, which in turn may result in a loss to the purchasers of our Common Stock.

have a going concern opinion from our auditors, indicating the possibility that we may not be able to continue to operate.

As reflected in our financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we had negative cash flows from operations of $974,308 and $178,237 during the nine months ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and had net losses of $1,184,520 and $282,846 during such periods. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs to allow us to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, we anticipate generating losses for at least the next 12 months. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue operations as a going concern. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 on the accompanying financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations and reducing operating expenses. Our business strategy may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in us.

Historically, we have derived a majority of our revenues from one customer. The loss of this customer will have a significant impact on our operations.

Revenue from Mahindra Group, an Indian based business, totaled $671,649 and $525,000 for the years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively, or 84% of total revenues for both years. Revenue from Mahindra Group for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $117,624 and $465,503, respectively, or 45.0% and 86.6% of total revenues for such periods. Our technical assistance agreement with Mahindra Group was entered into in June 2009, has a 30-month term and may be terminated at any time upon 30 days’ notice. Our other material agreement with BSA Motors was entered into in September 2009, has a 12 month term and may be terminated by BSA Motors upon 30 days notice. The termination of these agreements or the failure to diversify our customers so that we are not dependent on a limited number of customers could result in a significant decrease in our earnings.

As our revenues increase, we may have to pay a premium to New Generation Motors which will have the effect of decreasing our profitability.

We are obligated to pay 2.5% of gross revenues to New Generation Motors until 2014 if we have satisfied our current obligation to pay them the principal and accrued interest on the outstanding $596,108 loan from New Generation Motors. While the increase in revenues will prove beneficial to us, if we are not able to curtail general administrative expenses as a result of such revenue increases, the premium to be paid to New Generation Motors could adversely affect our profitability.

As we have a limited history, it may be unable to accurately predict our future operating expenses, which could cause us to experience cash shortfalls in future periods.

We have a limited history with regard to expenses and may be unable to accurately forecast our cash needs for the pre-operating months. There can be no assurance we will raise sufficient capital to carry out our business plan.

If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, our business prospects may be harmed.

Our long-term success largely depends on our ability to market our technology. In order to legally protect our technology we must:

 
·
obtain and protect our patents, if issued, or the rights to our patents both domestically and abroad;

 
·
operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others; and

 
·
prevent others from successfully challenging or infringing our proprietary rights.

If we fail to obtain or maintain patent protections, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our proprietary rights. We will be able to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use only to the extent that these rights are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. Until a patent is issued, the claims covered by the patent may be narrowed or removed entirely, and therefore we may not obtain adequate patent protection. As a result, we may face unanticipated competition, or conclude that without patent rights the risk of bringing a new product to the market is too great, thus adversely affecting operating results. Assuming we are able to achieve patent protection, the patent position of technology companies involves complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, we cannot predict with certainty whether we will be able to ultimately enforce any issued patents or proprietary rights. Any patents that we acquire in the future or licenses may be challenged invalidated or circumvented and may not provide us with adequate protection against competitors. The laws of certain foreign countries do not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Accordingly, we may be forced to engage in costly and time consuming litigation in order to protect its intellectual property rights.

 
5

 

We also rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. While we believe we use reasonable efforts to protect trade secrets, our employees, consultants, contractors, and other advisors may unintentionally or willfully disclose proprietary information to competitors. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using trade secrets is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how.

We are doing business in foreign jurisdictions and our one patent in a foreign jurisdiction has lapsed. Our other patents have not been issued in any foreign jurisdictions. The failure to obtain patent protections in foreign jurisdictions could adversely affect our future operations.

Other than a patent in India which has lapsed, we do not have any patents in any other foreign jurisdictions. If we fail to reinstate this patent, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our proprietary rights. We will be able to protect our proprietary rights covered by this patent from unauthorized use only to the extent that we are able to reinstate this patent, if at all, prior to any such unauthorized use or there is not a filed patent filed by a third party prior to reinstatement, if at all. Even if we are successful at reinstating this patent, we might have to enforce our contractual right against a former employee of New Generation Motors who co-wrote the patent. Although this former employee is contractually obligated to assign all his rights to the patent to the Company as the successor to New Generation Motors, there is no assurance that he will make such assignment without us first expending time and money. As a result, we may face unanticipated competition, or conclude that without patent rights the risk of bringing a new product to the market is too great, thus adversely affecting operating results We believe that there is a market for our technology in a variety of foreign countries though to date, most of our revenue has been generated from Indian based businesses. Our ability to successfully expand our operations may require us to be able to protect our intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions, which will require us to attempt to seek patent protection in such jurisdictions in the future, which is timely, expensive, and may not result in issued patents. The failure to obtain patents in foreign jurisdictions may adversely affect our future operations in that our technology may be utilized by competitors.

If a third party claims we are infringing on our intellectual property rights, we may incur significant litigation or licensing expenses, or be prevented from further developing or commercializing our technology.

Our commercial success depends in part on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties. A third party may assert that we have infringed his, her or its patents and proprietary rights or challenge the validity of any patents we may receive in the future or our proprietary rights. Likewise, we may need to resort to litigation to enforce any patent rights we receive in the future or to determine the scope and validity of a third party's proprietary rights, which litigation, even if successful, is expensive and time consuming.
While we are not aware of any third party that is infringing on our intellectual property rights nor do we have any reason to believe that we are infringing on the intellectual property rights of any third parties, any legal proceeding with respect to these matters could significantly harm our business. If we do not prevail in this type of litigation, we may be required to:

 
·
pay monetary damages;

 
·
expend time and funding to redesign our technologies so that they do not infringe others patents while still allowing us to compete in the market;

 
·
or

 
·
stop research and commercial activities relating to the affected technology or service if a license from the third party is necessary but not available on acceptable terms, if at all.

In addition, the defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, interferences, oppositions and related legal and administrative proceedings in the United States and elsewhere, even if resolved in our favor, could be expensive and time consuming and could divert financial and managerial resources. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater financial resources.

Technological advances, the introduction of new products, and new design and manufacturing techniques could adversely affect our operations unless we are able to adapt to the resulting change in conditions.

Our future success and competitive position depend to a significant extent upon our proprietary technology. We must make significant investments to continue to develop and refine our technologies. We will be required to expend substantial funds for and commit significant resources to the conduct of research and development activities, the engagement of additional engineering and other technical personnel, and the enhancement of design and manufacturing processes and techniques. Our future operating results will depend to a significant extent on our ability to design and manufacture technology for products requested by customers. There can be no assurance that our technology will receive or maintain customer or market acceptance. Our inability to design and manufacture technology on a timely and cost-effective basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

We have international operations and, therefore, are subject to additional financial and regulatory risks.

We do business with international companies in foreign countries and currently intend to increase our level of international business activity. Our overseas operations are subject to various risks, including:

 
·
U.S.-imposed embargoes of sales to specific countries (which could prohibit sales of products there);

 
·
foreign import controls (which may be arbitrarily imposed and enforced and which could interrupt or prohibit customers from purchasing our technologies );

 
·
exchange rate fluctuations;

 
·
expropriation of assets;

 
·
war, civil uprisings and riots;

 
·
government instability;

 
·
the necessity of obtaining government approvals for both new and continuing operations; and

 
·
legal systems of decrees, laws, taxes, regulations, interpretations and court decisions that are not always fully developed and that may be retroactively or arbitrarily applied.

We currently intend to expand our operations into selected international markets. However, we may be unable to execute our business model in these markets or new markets. Further, foreign providers of services and technology may have a substantial advantage over us in attracting consumers and businesses in their country due to earlier established businesses in that country, greater knowledge with respect to the cultural differences of consumers and businesses residing in that country and/or their focus on a single market.

In pursuing an international expansion strategy, we face additional risks, including:

 
·
foreign laws and regulations, which may vary country by country, that may impact how we conduct our business;

 
·
higher costs of doing business in foreign countries;

 
·
potential adverse tax consequences;

 
·
longer payment cycles and foreign currency fluctuations; and

 
·
economic downturns.

We will be subject to federal licensing requirements with respect to the sale in foreign countries of certain products. In addition, we are obligated to comply with a variety of federal, state and local regulations, both domestically and abroad, governing certain aspects of our operations. The failure to obtain applicable governmental approval and clearances could adversely our business.

Like other companies which operate internationally, we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other laws which prohibit improper payments to foreign governments and their officials. Violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act may result in severe criminal penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

We may be subject to extensive federal, state and local regulations of our operations.

Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations governing, among other things, , emissions to air, discharges to water, noise, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials and health and safety matters. To date, because of, among other things, the limited nature of our operations, these regulations have not had a significant impact on our operations. If and when we expand our activities, compliance with these laws and regulations may adversely affect our operations.

We may encounter intense competition from competitors many of which are more established than us and have greater resources than us.

We face competition from established and emerging manufacturers, which could divert prospective customers to our competitors. We currently compete in the industrial and automotive markets. Some companies not traditionally serving our market could enter our market, causing reduced revenue and sales opportunities. We expect existing competitors and new entrants to these industries to increase and to constantly revise and improve their business models. Many of these entities have significantly greater research and development capabilities and budgets than we do, as well as substantially more marketing, manufacturing, financial and managerial resources. These entities represent significant competition for us. Acquisitions of, or investments in, competing companies by large corporations could increase potential competitors’ resources. Since our resources are limited, we may not be able to compete with these larger competitors.

We are dependent upon our management team, and the loss of any of these individuals would harm our business.

We rely heavily on the expertise, experience and continued service of our senior management. The loss of such key personnel could materially adversely affect us. If such management was to leave we could face substantial difficulty in hiring qualified successors and could experience loss in productivity while any successor obtains necessary training and experience. We have entered into employment agreements three executive officers but there can be no assurance that the terms of any such agreement will be sufficient to retain such executives.

Our ability to implement our business plan depends on our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified research and development, technical, and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to attract or retain a sufficient number of highly qualified employees in the future. If we are unable to hire and retain personnel in key positions, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Difficulties managing growth could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

The growth of our business may require increased demands on our management, workforce and facilities. If we achieve growth in our operations in the next few years, such growth could place a strain on our management, and our administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our ability to manage our operations and growth requires the continued improvement of operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures. In addition, we will need to attract, train, manage and retain qualified management and other personnel to manage our future operations. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively or if we are unable to attract additional highly qualified personnel, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We may be subject to liability claims resulting from our technology.

There can be no assurance that product liability issues will not arise that would adversely impact our business. Although we have product liability insurance, there is no assurance that such policy will be adequate to cover any potential claims or that we will maintain such policy coverage in the future.

Our ability to implement our business plan depends on the viability of our strategic partners and key customers.

There can be no assurance that the stability of our strategic partners and key customers remain in good financial health. This could adversely affect sales, time to collection of revenues.

Since our stock is registered with the SEC, we are subject to certain federal securities rules and regulations.

We are subject to the federal securities rules and regulations, including proxy rules and regulations. We failed to file with the SEC and deliver to shareholders an Information Statement notifying our shareholders about the action taken by majority shareholder approval to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of our company to NuGen Holdings, Inc., effective March 4, 2010, except by a notice sent to each shareholder on February 26, 2010 pursuant to Delaware law disclosing such action taken by the holders of a majority of our common stock on February 26, 2010. On August 17, 2010, we filed a preliminary information statement with the SEC which we subsequently withdrew on September 27, 2010, since the action had already been taken and to avoid confusion for our shareholders.

Risks Relating to the Market for Our Common Stock

We incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

As a result of the Merger, NuGen Mobility became the operating subsidiary of a public reporting company. As a public reporting company, we expect to incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not otherwise incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these rules and regulations to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur or the timing of such costs.

Insiders have substantial control over and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control, which may negatively affect your investment.

Our executive officers and directors beneficially own, in the aggregate, 48.6% of our outstanding Common Stock.

Further, Ronald Takamura, the brother of our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 15.7% of our outstanding Common Stock. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of other stockholders. These stockholders, if acting together, would be able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. In addition, such persons’ stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

There is no market for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that one will ever develop or be sustained.

There is currently no trading market for our Common Stock. We do not anticipate that an active trading market in our common stock will develop in the near future because of our limited revenues to date, our history of losses, the limited number of shares that may currently be traded and the lack of interest on the part of securities brokerage firms in us. We anticipate our Common Stock will be quoted on the automated quotation service, known as the OTC Bulletin Board but no market makers have committed to becoming market makers for our common stock and none may do so.

“Penny Stock” rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult.

Trading in our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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. These rules require that any broker-dealer that recommends our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. 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 with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 200 million shares of common stock .As of the date of this Prospectus, there are outstanding 50,381,564 shares of common stock and options to acquire 2,400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. Said exercise price is less than the price of the shares being offered by the selling security holders in this prospectus. 1,900,000 of these options, none of which are included in this Prospectus, were issued to officers, directors and key employees.  In addition, Mr. Uzi Harel has the right to purchase 360,000 of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants with an exercise price of $0.001 per share.  The future issuance of common stock or convertible securities may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market, if one is established, for the common stock.

We have the right to issue up to an additional 143,000,000 shares of common stock, which may deter hostile takeovers or delay changes in management control

Our board of directors, without further shareholder approval, is currently able to authorize the issuance of approximately up to an additional 143,000,000 shares of common stock, after giving effect to outstanding shares of common stock and rights (including potential rights) to acquire common stock. As a result, such shares of common stock could be issued quickly and easily, and on terms favorable to, to our insiders or others associated with management, which could prevent a change in control or make the removal of management more difficult.

We have the right to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock, which may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of other of our securities and may deter hostile takeovers or delay changes in management control.

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which is issued and outstanding, although we have an agreement to issue up to 4,666,667 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. See “Business-Recent Developments and Change in Control- Private Placement”. Our board of directors has the right, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares with rights superior to the rights of the holders of shares of common stock. As a result, preferred shares could be issued quickly and easily, negatively affecting the rights of holders of common shares and could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult. Because we may issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in order to raise capital for our operations, your ownership interest may be diluted which results in your percentage of ownership in us decreasing.

Our agreement to issue preferred stock to certain investors will further dilute the interests of our common shareholders Although we have not yet commenced negotiating the specific terms of the preferred stock that eleven shareholders have the right to purchase, the general terms of these shares will dilute the interests of our common shareholders when these preferred shares are issued. The extent of such dilution is immeasurable prior to finalizing the specific terms of the common stock and therefore the effect on common stockholders’ interests is currently not able to be determined. Moreover, the conversion rate of the preferred shares will be subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, so that we shall issue, free of charge to each holder of such preferred stock, such additional shares of preferred stock so that the total number of shares held by the such holder equals that number that will be issued at the lower price during the 18 months following a closing with respect to such preferred stock. We also expect to provide the holders pre-emptive rights and the right to designate one person to serve as a member of our board of directors. Upon exercise of the right to purchase the preferred stock, the investors will also receive options, warrants or other similar rights to acquire our common stock equal to the total value of the investors’ investment in the preferred stock, based on a share value of $0.15 per share. We tentatively agreed that if we would ever grant certain rights to shareholders holding a prescribed percentage of our stock, the holders of the preferred shares would have the right to cumulate their shareholdings to determine if they are entitled to such rights. We also agreed to give these 11 investors an additional 10% of the value of their investment in preferred stock based on a share value of $0.15 per share. The method of determining the value of their investment, as well as the type of additional consideration to be provided to the investors of the preferred stock, is unknown. If and when the preferred shares are purchased, Mr. Eric Takamura will grant each investor of the preferred the right for eighteen months to purchase shares of common stock fromfor $0.50 per share. The purchase price of this option will be $250. All these rights will only be granted to these 11 investors, and therefore the rights belonging to all the other shareholders will be adversely impacted as a result of the issuance of the preferred stock. The extent of the effect of granting superior rights to the purchasers of the Preferred Stock on our existing common stockholders is unable to be determined until the terms of the Preferred Stock are negotiated, however, it is possible that the investors may obtain voting rights that substantially eliminate the voting power of our common stockholders and their ability to affect the corporate actions of our company.

If the Preferred Stock is issued, the holders of Preferred Stock will have the right to designate one director.

If issued, the holders of Preferred Stock will have the right to designate one director. Inasmuch as the certificate of designation with respect to such preferred stock has not yet been filed, the mechanics as to how such right will be exercised have not been definitively determined. If and when an arrangement is negotiated and finalized the right to appoint a director to our board will give the preferred stock holders, whose interests may differ from those of the holders of our common stock, the right to vote on certain corporate matters considered by the board. Until such time as the Preferred Stock is issued and the terms of a Certificate of Designation determined uncertainty may exist as to the final Board composition and how such director will be appointed.

The risk of our revenues and profitability fluctuating from period to period.

Our results of operations for any quarter, half year or year are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Our operating results have historically been, and we expect they will continue to be, subject to quarterly, half yearly and yearly fluctuations as a result of a number of factors, including:

 
·
changes in prevailing economic and other conditions relating to our businesses;

 
·
variations in costs, sales prices and the services we offer;

 
·
changes in customer demand and/or our supply chains, which in turn will often depend upon market conditions for the relevant services and products, the success of our customers' or suppliers' businesses, industry trends, and other factors;

 
·
changes in the financial and commodity markets; and

 
·
changes in the credit quality of our customers

USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares of common stock covered by this prospectus are issued and outstanding and owned by the selling stockholders. Each of the selling stockholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of shares by that stockholder. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the shares common stock covered by this prospectus. We are responsible for the fees, costs and expenses of this offering.

This prospectus also covers 360,000 shares of common stock which would be issued if the warrant holder exercises his warrant. In such instance, we would receive $360 if the warrant is exercised in its entirety.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The $1.00 per share offering price of our common stock was determined arbitrarily by us. There is no relationship whatsoever between this price and our assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. We intend to apply to the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board electronic quotation service for the trading of our common stock. If our common stock becomes quoted and a market for the stock develops, the actual price of stock will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private transactions negotiated by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus. The offering price would thus be determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the selling shareholders named in this prospectus.

DILUTION

The shares to be sold by the selling shareholders are shares of common stock that are currently issued and outstanding or that are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. Our net tangible book value per share is less than $0.01 per share compared to the selling price of $1.00 per share (until such times as our shares are listed on the Bulletin Board). Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.

MARKET INFORMATION

There is no trading market for our Common Stock. To be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. We have engaged in preliminary discussions with an FINRA Market Maker to file our application on Form 211 with the FINRA, but as of the date of this prospectus, no filing has been made. We are not obligated to register any shares under the Securities Act for sale by security holders, although we are hereby filing this registration statement for the registration of 25,620,007 shares of Common Stock on behalf of the selling stockholders.

As of the date of this Prospectus, there were approximately 106 holders of record of our common stock.

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock nor do we anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we expect to retain any future earnings to finance its operations and expansion. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings levels, capital requirements, any restrictive loan covenants and other factors the Board considers relevant.

Securities Authorized For Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plan

As of September 30, 2009, we had no shares of common stock subject to any outstanding awards or available for future awards under equity compensation plans. Our 2008 Stock Option Plan, which was adopted by the Board on June 30, 2008, specifically provided for its effectiveness within 12 months of its adoption by vote of the shareholders; as of September 30, 2009 the shareholders did not vote to adopt or reject the option plan. Accordingly, the 2008 Stock Option Plan is no longer effective and any previous options granted thereunder are null and void.

In February 2010, our board of directors adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan. The total number of shares of common stock available under this Plan equals the sum of (i) 5,000,000, plus (ii) the number of shares with respect to awards that terminate without being exercised, are exchanged for awards that do not involve shares of common stock, or are settled in cash in lieu of shares of common stock. Currently there are 2,400,000 options granted under this Plan.

Recent Developments

On January 29, 2010, we completed the acquisition of NuGen Mobility. As a result of this merger, we are now engaged in the research, development and sale of permanent magnet electric motors and the electronic controls for such motors. Our facility is located in Ashburn, VA. Our revenue is derived primarily from contract research and development services to customers in the automotive and industrial markets.

Our merger with NuGen Mobility has been accounted for as a recapitalization rather than as a business combination. As a result, the historical financial statements of NuGen Mobility are the historical financial statements. Accordingly, our financial statements subsequent to the merger consist of the balance sheets of NuGen Holdings, Inc. and NuGen Mobility, Inc., the historical operations of NuGen Mobility, Inc. and the operations of both NuGen Holdings and NuGen Mobility from January 29, 2010 (date of merger) forward. As a result of the merger, the historical financial statements of NuGen Holdings, Inc. for the period prior to January 29, 2010, are not presented herein.

We currently generate revenue primarily from contract research and development services and may derive additional revenues in the future from the sale or license of our technology to customers. Our technology is related to specialty electric drive engines and related components. This technology is currently being sold directly to OEMs pursuant to technical assistance agreements. The agreements generally provide for us to engineer our products to run in various platforms (e.g. vehicles, electric generators and motors). Our technology is used primarily to convert electrical power into mechanical power so that mechanical power can be used to propel a vehicle or run a generator. As our technology can be adapted for a particular application, our services utilizing our technology is customarily included in an engineering service component. Accordingly, the Company reflects its revenue in one line on its financial statements.

Results of Operations

We generated revenues of $624,695 and $796,847, for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2008 and 2009 respectively. We generated revenues of $50,126 and $292,226, for the three months ending June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively, and $261,394 and $537,751 in revenues for the nine months ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We had net losses of $489,583 and $322,509, for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2008 and 2009 respectively, net losses of $547,065 and $10,161, for the three months ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and net losses of $1,184,520 and $282,846 for the nine months ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Results of Operations— Comparison of Three Months Ending June 30, 2010 and 2009

Revenues. Our sales decreased by $242,100 to $50,126 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from $292,226 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 we had $6,543 in sales to Mahindra, $15,624 in sales to BSA Motors and $27,959 in sales to Solar Car Race participants, versus sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $270,503 to Mahindra and $21,723 to various Solar Car Race participants. The sales to Mahindra and BSA Motors were primarily for engineering services. The changes in sales are attributable to 2010 sales pursuant to the Company’s Technical Assistance Agreement with Mahindra dated June 9, 2009 (Exhibit 10.5) versus 2009 sales pursuant to the Company’s Technical Assistance Agreement with Mahindra dated February 22, 2008. Additionally our technology are generally sold directly to original equipment manufacturers and that as our technology is often adapted for a particular application, the sale customarily includes an engineering service component as well. The nature of the 2008 Agreement involved higher direct costs for raw materials than the 2009 Agreement. Labor for the 2009 Agreement was higher than the 2008 Agreement. Accordingly, the margins were affected by the change in the contract not the change of customers.

Gross Profit (Loss). Our gross (loss) was $131,023 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 versus a gross profit of $137,476 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to lower revenues in 2010 and increases in direct labor expenses in 2010 versus 2009 as staffing levels were increased from 6 employees in fiscal 2009 to 9 employees in fiscal 2010. The new staff consists of an additional engineer as well as increases to the production staff.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses increased by $299,414 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from $108,155 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation, rent and office, professional fees and travel expenses. The increase consisted primarily of an increase in our compensation expense of $188,207. $171,446 of the increase was due primarily to the increase of the number of executive officers receiving compensation (four officers in 2010 compared to only one executive in 2009) which includes an increase in the rate of compensation paid to such officers, in fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009, of approximately $7,500. We currently estimate that the current compensation rates will remain steady in the short term. Professional fees and travel expenses were increased due to the increased cost of being a publicly reporting company as well as additional travel expenses associated with the increased number of executive officers in 2010.

Other Expenses. These expenses consist of interest expenses. Interest expenses for fiscal period ended 2010 decreased by $30,333 from $39,482 in 2009 primarily due to the conversion of a large portion of our debt to equity in January 2010. Additionally, the bridge loans made by our Chairman and CEO, Eric Takamura, were forgiven at the end of our fiscal 2009 year resulting in reduced interest expense in 2010.

Results of Operations— Comparison of Nine months Ending June 30, 2010 and 2009

Revenues. Our sales decreased by $276,357 to $261,394 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $537,751 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 the Company had $117,624 in sales to Mahindra, pursuant to our Technical Assistance Agreement dated June 9, 2009, and $114,676 in sales to BSA Motors, and $29,094 in sales to various Solar Car Race participants, versus sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 of $465,503 to Mahindra, pursuant to our Technical Assistance Agreement dated February 22, 2008 and $72,248 in sales to various Solar Car Race participants. The sales to BSA Motors were primarily for engineering services.

The agreements with Mahindra were structured in this matter to enable us to divide the project into manageable segments. The preliminary conceptual work and demonstration of the technology in the initial phase with Mahindra proved that the intended targets were feasible and generated $465,503 in sales. When we entered into the second phase with Mahindra by executing the Technical Assistance Agreement dated June 30, 2009, our objective was the final production design and setup for any toolings required for manufacturing in order to proceed to mass production phase. We were more focused on achieving this objective than on the amount of sales this contract would generate. Accordingly, we only generated $117,624 in sales from this agreement. In the future, as we expect our technology to be more acceptable we would hope to generate more revenues as our contractual relationship with our customers continue. We do not expect to have less revenues from a customer but hope to increase the amount of revenues generated from each customer.

Gross Profit (Loss). Our gross (loss) was $231,980 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 versus a gross profit of $92,218 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to lower revenues in 2010 and increases in direct labor expenses in 2010 versus 2009 as staffing levels were increased from 6 employees in fiscal 2009 to 9 employees in fiscal 2010. The new staff consists of an additional engineer as well as increases to the production staff.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses increased by $644,748 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $258,250 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation, rent and office, professional fees and travel expenses. The increase consisted primarily of an increase in our compensation expense of $428,761. $215,650 of the increase was due primarily to the increase in the number of executive officers receiving compensation (four in 2010 compared to only one executive in 2009) which includes an increase in the rate of compensation paid to such officers, in fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009, of approximately $22,500. We currently estimate that the current compensation rates will remain steady in the short term. Professional fees and travel expenses were increased due to the increased cost of being a publicly reporting Company as well as additional travel expense associated with the increased number of executive officers in 2010.

Other Expenses. These expenses consist of interest expenses. Interest expenses for fiscal 2010 decreased by $65,807 from $116,814 in 2009 primarily due to the conversion of a large portion of our debt to equity in January 2010. Additionally, the bridge loans made by our Chairman and CEO, Eric Takamura, were forgiven at the end of our fiscal 2009 year resulting in reduced interest expense in 2010.

Results of Operations— Comparison of Fiscal Years Ending September 30, 2009 and 2008

Revenues. Our sales increased by $172,152 to $796,847 for the year ended September 30, 2009 from $624,695 for the year ended September 30, 2008. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in sales to Mahindra, pursuant to our Technical Assistance Agreement dated June 9, 2009, consisting primarily of engineering services, in the amount of $176,649. The Company also had an increase in its sales to Solar Car Race participants in the amount of $3,913 and decreases in its sales to the US Department of Defense’s Small Business Innovation Research (“SBIR”) program of $7,927.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased by $169,865 to $211,860 for the year ended September 30, 2009 from $41,995 for the year ended September 30, 2008. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to$172,152 increase in our sales, increases in our direct costs of $51,601 and decreases in our direct labor costs of $49,315. The increases in our direct costs was the result of the Mahindra work done in fiscal year 2009 which included the building and delivering of certain prototype motors and controllers. The Mahindra services provided in FY 2008 were strictly for engineering services pursuant to our Technical Assistance Agreement dated February 22, 2008.. The decrease in direct labor costs was due to allocating less of our engineers’ time to specific jobs.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses decreased by $5,485 for the year ended September 30, 2009 from $382,339 for the year ended September 30, 2008. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation, rent and office, professional fees and travel expenses. The increase consisted primarily of an increase in our compensation expense of $53,484 due to the additional expense of hiring more employees as well as a lesser allocation of engineer’s wages to direct labor. Our rent and office expense increased by $9,415; our travel expense increased by $5,719; and, other expenses increased by $6,928. These expenses were reduced by a decrease in our professional fees expense of $81,031 due to a decrease in our consultation with legal counsel.

Other Expenses. These expenses consist of interest expenses. Interest expenses for fiscal 2009 increased by $8,276 from $149,239 in 2008 primarily due to a higher level of indebtedness in fiscal 2009 than in 2008. The bridge loans made by our Chairman and CEO, Eric Takamura, were forgiven at the end of our fiscal 2009 which had no effect on the interest expense in fiscal 2009.

Results of Operations— Comparison of Fiscal Years Ending September 30, 2008 and 2007

Revenues. Our sales increased by $315,999 to $624,695 for the year ended September 30, 2008 from $308,696 for the year ended September 30, 2007. The increase in revenues was primarily due to our initial sales to Mahindra, pursuant to our Technical Assistance Agreement dated June 9, 2009, in the amount of $525,000. This was partially offset by decreases in our sales to Solar Car Race participants in the amount of $131,048 and decreases in our sales to the Department of Defense (SBIR) in the amount of $79,472.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased by $108,875 to $41,995 for the year ended September 30, 2008 from ($150,870) for the year ended September 30, 2007. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to our initial sales to Mahindra pursuant to our Technical Assistance Agreement dated February 22, 2008, which started in fiscal 2008, a reduction in our direct costs of $25,232 due to lower Solar Car Race revenues, and was partially offset by an increase in direct labor of $148,366.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses decreased by $382,339 for the year ended September 30, 2008 from $1,884,795 for the year ended September 30, 2007. We recognized $1,512,448 in Impairment expenses related to the asset purchase from New Generation Motors in fiscal 2007. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation, rent and office, professional fees and travel expenses. The decrease due to the lack of Impairment Expense in fiscal 2008 was partially offset by an increase in our compensation expense of $41,573 due to the additional expense of hiring more employees as well as an higher allocation of engineer’s wages to direct labor. Our rent and office expense increased by $63,910 primarily due to a full year’s rent expense in fiscal 2008; our travel expense increased by $1,172; and, other expenses increased by $17,434. These expenses were reduced by a decrease in our professional fees expense of $114,097 due to higher legal fees in connection withr our asset purchase with New Generation Motors in 2007.

Other Expenses. These expenses consist of interest expenses. Interest expenses for fiscal 2008 increased by $107,150 over fiscal 2007 primarily due to a full year of interest expense for the bridge loans made by our shareholders, Eric Takamura and Ron Takamura and for the promissory notes held by New Generation Motors, Jardine Capital Corp. (“Jardine”) and Four M International, Inc. (“Four M”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of funds has been equity provided by our stockholders, various borrowings (including borrowings from a principal stockholder) and sales to our customers. Our principal use of funds has been for operating expenses and direct labor costs. We estimate that we have sufficient funds to continue operations until approximately November 2010 (without giving effect to exercise of options to acquire our Series A Preferred Stock which if exercised, as to which no assurance can be given, would raise between $500,000 to $700,000) and we will require additional funds to continue operations thereafter. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds if and when we wish to do so or on terms acceptable to us. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. . Specifically, in the event that we are not successful at raising capital to a level sufficient to pay our expenditures, we are prepared to reduced our administrative overhead and reduce our marketing and public relations expenditures.  If we are unable to cut expenses to earn profits or raise additional debt or equity capital we will have to discontinue operations.  The doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern was reflected in the opinion of our auditors expressed with respect to our financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 which opinion was qualified on a “going concern basis”. The auditors noted that in light of our negative cash flow from operations, our working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management currently intends to attempt to raise additional capital through public or private offerings, the conversion of its preferred stock option, the acquisition of a company; or merger with or into another company.

Our working capital was $305,479, at June 30, 2010 compared to a working capital deficiency of $801,592 at September 30, 2009. Net cash used in operating activities was $974,308 and $178,237 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash flow used in operations increased during the most recent nine months primarily due to the increase in our net loss. Cash flows from financing activities provided, in the nine months ended June 30, 2010, $1,437,438 and was primarily due to the net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s equity securities as well as two bridge loans, which were converted in the private placement to common stock. At June 30, 2010, we had $517,484 of cash on hand.

In connection with the Company’s private offering of its common stock, on January 29, 2010 and February 16, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,266,669 and 3,599,999, respectively, shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $0.15 per share for total cash proceeds of $1,480,000 and paid offering costs of $85,757. In addition the Company has issued 1,000,000 shares to its placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company also issued warrants valued at $53,640, as a finders fee, exercisable until March 16, 2011, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, to acquire an aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock. Also, in connection with the Merger, holders of an aggregate of $915,475 of outstanding indebtedness of NuGen converted their promissory notes (based on a $0.15 per share conversion price) into an aggregate of 6,103,166 shares of Common Stock (“Debt Conversion”). This number includes the 466,667 shares which were converted by an individual holding $70,000 of indebtedness not represented by a note.

As of June 30 2010, the Company had a total of $606,174 of debt outstanding. The primary component of this total, $599,806 owed to New Generation Motors, is the only material financing agreement the Company has in place at the present time. The Company also has the potential exercise of options to acquire our Series A Preferred Stock which could raise between $500,000-$700,000. The Company is not currently in default with respect to any material financing arrangement.

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the loans with Four M and Jardine were in technical default because NuGen Mobility did not provide the lenders with the financial information required pursuant to the loan and had not paid principal or interest which was due. The notice regarding such default was provided on January 22, 2009. Accordingly, they are classified under the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s Balance Sheets. These loans were converted to equity in the Merger in January 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the accounting policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application.

Revenue and Cost Recognition - We currently generate revenue primarily from contract research and development services and may derive additional revenues in the future from the sale or license of our technology to customers.
Revenue relating to long-term fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, contract revenues and related costs are recognized based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs.

Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to cost and revenue, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs and other indirect costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued.

In accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

At inception, the Company implemented ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment” which requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 805 “Subsequent Events”. ASC 805 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 805 sets forth (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 805 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 860. ASC 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of ASC 860 will have on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “Codification”) has become the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). All existing accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be authoritative. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC issued under the authority of federal securities laws, however, will continue to be the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles for SEC registrants. Effective September 30, 2009, all references made to GAAP in our consolidated financial statements will include references to the new Codification. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, will not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (VIE). FASB ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation," amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. FASB ASC 810 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE. Topic 810 is effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. This will not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In August 2007, our subsidiary, NuGen Mobility entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it acquired substantially all of the assets, and specified liabilities of New Generation Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The agreement requires the payment to New Generation Motors of $1,000,000 pursuant to a promissory note, which bears simple interest at the rate of six percent. The principal amount of this note was reduced to $596,108 by the application of $403,892 in credits. These credits consist of:

 
(i)
an aggregate of $273,741 in operational loans made by our principal shareholders to New Generation Motors to allow them to continue operations prior to August 2007,
  
(ii)
$101,804 in customer deposits that they retained though we were responsible for fulfilling such customer orders, and
  
(iii)
$29,068 in amounts we agreed to pay to New Generation Motors’s landlord for back rent.

The principal and interest on the loan is to be repaid, on a quarterly basis, until all amounts due thereon have been paid. The amount of each payment is equal to the greater of:

 
(i)
$7,500, and
  
(ii)
the product obtained by multiplying our Gross Revenues (as defined) for the quarter by the applicable percentage rate.

The applicable percentage rate increases by one percentage point per year beginning at 2% for 2007 increasing to 6% for 2011 and all subsequent years. The payment is first applied to the accrued interest on the loan and the remainder, if any, to the principal amount owed. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $ 67,500 has been paid (nine quarterly payments of $7,500 per quarter) and all of the payments have been applied to accrued interest. Accordingly, the principal balance of the loan has been $596,108 since August 2007.

In addition, if prior to July 13, 2014 we have paid this note in full, we are also required to pay until July 13, 2014, on a quarterly basis, the product obtained by multiplying 2.5% by the Gross Revenues in the applicable quarter. Gross Revenues is defined as

(i)all fees and other revenue that NuGen Mobility receives from any source,
(ii) the then-current fair market value of (x)the assets purchased from New Generation Motors, or (y)the business (as a going concern) or portion thereof sold or otherwise transferred to our affiliate, and
(iii)the proceeds from the sale or other disposition by NuGen Mobility to any other third party of all or any portion of (x) the assets and/or (y) the business as a going concern. To date, we have not been required to make any such payments.

Included in the purchased assets is a license agreement with Bajaj Auto Ltd. pursuant to which they have licensed our technology. Bajaj Auto is an Indian based manufacturer of two and three-wheel vehicles. The license agreement covers our technology which is embedded in the Bajaj three-wheel Auto-Rickshaw.

As part of this asset purchase agreement, we agreed to assume New Generation Motor’s commitment to reimburse a conditional grant of $700,000 that they had received from The ICICI Limited, an Indian public banking company. We do not have a written assignment from ICICI Limited regarding our assumption of this commitment. This conditional grant is only required to be paid back once Bajaj begins paying us the licensing fees mentioned above. We will then be obligated to pay ICICI a royalty on the licensing fees received from Bajaj agreement until $1,400,000 is repaid based upon a schedule in the agreement. Since the dates provided for in the schedule to the agreement have passed, the agreement provides that if the actual sales deviate substantially, the royalty schedule will have to be changed. To date, the parties have not updated the schedule of royalty payments. Additionally, the Indian export bank also provided a loan of $500,000 to New Generation Motors. In connection with this asset purchase agreement, NuGen Mobility assumed this $500,000 loan on the condition that the loan would be converted to a conditional grant (similar to the conditional grant executed by New Generation Motors and ICICI in 2001). In 2006, both New Generation Motors and ICICI agreed to convert this second $500,000 loan to a conditional grant under the same terms and conditions as the previous 2001 agreement. However we do not have a signed document indicating such agreement. Currently, no demand has been made to NuGen Mobility for payment; accordingly, we do not reflect this as a liability on our balance sheet but rather we include it under “Commitments and Contingencies” in our financial statement footnotes.

As of June 30, 2010, no payments are owed to ICICI, as Bajaj is not actively marketing its product at present.

Accounting Treatment

The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. NuGen is the acquirer for accounting purposes and NuGen Holdings, formerly InovaChem, is the acquiree. Accordingly, NuGen’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the Merger. The accumulated deficit of NuGen is carried forward after the acquisition. Operations prior to the Merger are those of NuGen. Earnings per share for the period prior to the Merger are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.

BUSINESS

Corporate Background

We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation on September 27, 2007 under the name “Expedite 1, Inc.” –we were formed for the purpose of acquiring an operating business. On February 11, 2008, Exchequer, Inc., an entity affiliated with Henry Toh, our Vice Chairman purchased all of the 100,000 outstanding shares of our common stock from the original sole stockholder for $97,000. We were then renamed InovaChem, Inc. Following the purchase, we declared a stock dividend of 8.7 shares for every share of our common stock issued and outstanding, and accordingly, issued pursuant to such stock dividend, 870,000 shares of common stock to Exchequer, Inc. Contemporaneously therewith, we also issued 1,530,000 shares of common stock to five investors for an aggregate purchase price of $153,000, of whichExchequer purchased 30,000 shares for $3,000.

In June 2008, we acquired, through a reverse subsidiary merger, Trinterprise LLC. As a result of this merger, the owners of Trinterprise became the owners of approximately 80% of our outstanding common stock. We contemplated that as a result of the Trinterprise acquisition that we would be engaged in the production and sale of sucralose and would pursue a strategic plan to reduce certain food, pharmaceutical and other products’ costs by using new technologies. Due to the uncertainty of the state of the economy and the inability to raise needed capital, InovaChem was unable to pursue this opportunity, abandoned this strategic plan and sought to acquire an operating company, which culminated in January 2010 in our acquisition of NuGen Mobility, Inc. We continue to own the net assets (approximately $(62,000)) of the Trinterprise business though we do not have any intention of exploiting such assets. Until our acquisition of NuGen Mobility, we had not engaged in any significant operational activities and our business activities have generally been limited to organizational matters, the filing of reports with the SEC and the search for a viable business opportunity.

NuGen was organized as a Delaware corporation on September 8, 2006 under the name “NuGen Mobility, Inc.” for the purpose of engaging in research, development and manufacture of permanent magnet electric motors and related electric controls.

In August 2007, NuGen acquired substantially all of the assets, and certain liabilities of New Generation Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation organized in May 2001, related to its business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and licensing axial flux and other electric motors. NuGen Mobility and New Generation Motors had different boards of directors, different officers and different stockholders. Some of New Generation Motors engineers were hired by NuGen Mobility. Eric Takamura, the Company’s chief executive officer, had a minor interest (1.75% ownership) in New Generation Motors, where he served as chief operating officer. Mr. Takamura believed that the New Generation Motors board and stockholders were not taking an active role in the company and it was effectively insolvent. Believing in its value and potential, Mr. Takamura decided to form NuGen Mobility and purchase New Generation Motors’ assets. None of New Generation Motors' shares were held by our affiliates at the time of NuGen Mobility's acquisition of the assets of New Generation Motors.

Recent Developments and Change in Control

Merger and Changes in Control

On January 29, 2010, pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated January 29, 2010 by and among NuGen Holdings, formerly known as InovaChem, NuGen and InovaChem Mergerco II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NuGen Holdings, and the other parties identified therein, InovaChem Mergerco II merged with and into NuGen, and NuGen, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NuGen Holdings.

Upon the closing of this merger (the “Merger”), each issued and outstanding share of NuGen’s common stock was converted into 24,422.48 shares of NuGen Holding’s common stock. As a result, an aggregate of 27,133,384 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share were issued to the two shareholders of NuGen, Eric Takamura, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Ron Takamura.

Effective upon the closing of the Merger, William Zuo, Shao Jun Xu and Xiaojing Li resigned from all of their respective positions as officers and directors of Inovachem. On the same date, the board of directors appointed Eric Takamura as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and a director and John Salatino as Vice President of Engineering and Programs. Henry Toh retained his position as Vice Chairman of our board of directors and Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, Alan Pritzker retained his position as Chief Financial Officer and Michael Kleinman remained on the board of directors of our company.

Debt Conversion and Redemption

In connection with the Merger, holders of an aggregate of $915,475 of outstanding indebtedness of NuGen converted their promissory notes (based on a $0.15 per share conversion price) into an aggregate of 6,103,167 shares of Common Stock (“Debt Conversion”). Included in this amount was $465,476 of indebtedness owed Ronald Takamura, brother of our Chairman and CEO and $57,938 of indebtedness owed to Four M International. Henry Toh, Vice Chairman of our board of directors and an officer of our company is an officer and director of Four M International.

Simultaneous with the closing of the Merger, 15,236,667 shares of Common Stock were redeemed by NuGen Holdings for a cash payment of $152. Included in this amount was 5,884,167 shares redeemed from our former Chairman & CEO, William Zuo; 5,884,167 shares redeemed from our former Secretary and VP, Xiaojing Li; 71,667 shares redeemed from our current officer and director, Henry Toh; and 3,433,333 shares redeemed from our former Chief Science and Technical Officer, Shao Jun Xu.

Private Placement

On February 11, 2010, we closed on the private placement and we issued an aggregate of 9,866,668 shares of Common Stock in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) at a purchase price of $0.15 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1,480,000. Said amount includes 466,667 shares issued to an individual upon conversion of his $70,000 accounts payable. Each investor in such private placement had the right to purchase an option from Eric Takamura, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and a director, to purchase until January or February 2012, up to 50,000 shares of his common stock for an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The purchase price of this option was $250, and an aggregate of 2,595,000 shares are subject to purchase from Eric Takamura. We accepted some investments for less than $25,000 and there were also investors who chose to purchase fewer options than they were entitled to purchase. A total of 33 investors purchased options to purchase an aggregate of 2,595,000 shares.

In connection with this private placement, we issued Martinez-Ayme Securities (“Martinez”), the placement agent, 1,000,000 shares of common stock and a cash commission of $52,725 as a result of the consummation of the Private Placement.

In connection therewith, Mr. Takamura, our chief executive officer, pledged 1,000,000 shares of common stock he owns to a representative of eleven of the investors to secure his obligation to transfer to such investors his shares if we issue prior to August 11, 2011, with certain exceptions, shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price below $0.15 per share. We also entered into an agreement with a representative of these eleven accredited investors confirming that such investors have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, in the aggregate, a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum of $700,000 of our Class A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $0.15 per share. This right is exercisable beginning on the effective date of our registration statement until August 10, 2010, subject to a 60 day extension if the registration statement is not effective by August 10, 2010.The investors may exercise this right on August 10, 2010 even if the registration statement is not effective by such date. We also issued the representative of such investors warrants to acquire until March 16, 2011, 360,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. We have not yet filed a certificate of designation designating this Preferred Stock. Since we have not heard from the investors or their counsel, negotiations regarding the terms of the certificate of designation with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock have not commenced. When authorized, we expect that the preferred stock will be convertible into one share of common stock and be subject to adjustment for issuances of securities to third parties at a price less than $0.15 per share on a “full-ratchet basis” (i.e., so that we shall issue, free of charge to each holder of such preferred stock, such additional shares of Preferred Stock so that the total number of shares held by the such holder equals that number that would have been issued at the lower price.) during the 18 months following a closing with respect to such issuance. We also expect to provide the holders pre-emptive rights and the right to designate one person to serve as a member of our board of directors. Upon exercise of the right to purchase the Preferred Stock, the investors will also receive options, warrants or other similar rights to acquire our common stock equal to the total value of the investors’ investment in the Preferred Stock, based on a share value of $0.15 per share.  Since we have not commenced negotiating the terms of the certificate of designation, we are unsure as to the form the options, warrants or similar rights would take. We have not heard from the potential purchasers of the preferred stock or their counsel regarding this transaction.  However, there will be included in either the terms of the Preferred Stock or pursuant to a separate convertible security, the right to purchase an additional share of common stock at $0.15 per share.

We tentatively agreed that if we would ever grant certain rights to shareholders holding a prescribed percentage of our stock, the holders of the preferred shares would have the right to cumulate their shareholdings to determine if they are entitled to such rights. For example, if we would ever provide that more than 70% of the holders of our shares could require us to file a registration statement on their behalf, the holders of the preferred shares could aggregate their holdings to be part of that group. We also agreed give these 11 investors an additional 10% of the value of their investment in preferred stock based on a share value of $0.15 per share. The exact value of such additional equity and the form of the additional consideration and the method for determining such value has not yet been negotiated and is presently unknown. If and when the preferred shares are purchased, each investor will also have the right for 18 months to purchase shares of common stock from Mr. Takamura for an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

Business

We are, through our NuGen subsidiary, engaged in the development, design, and marketing of a technology related to creating a permanent magnet electrical motor systems. Our revenue is derived primarily from contract research and development engineering services. Our technology relates to specialty electric drive engines and related components. This technology is currently being sold directly to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) pursuant to technical assistance agreements. The agreements generally provide for us to engineer our technology to run in various platforms (e.g. vehicles, electric generators and motors) and to be adapted to a customer’s particular application. We offer these services from our facility located in Virginia, to customers that require high-efficiency, reliable, compact permanent magnet electrical motor systems, controllers, vehicle interface modules (including energy storage, management and monitoring systems) and related software. Our technology is used primarily to convert electrical power into mechanical power so that mechanical power can be used to propel a vehicle or run a generator and may be used in markets ranging from electric/hybrid electric vehicles to materials handling equipment, distributive power, ground support equipment, motion control, and military systems.

Our high-efficiency, compact motors, controllers, energy storage management and monitoring systems (a related component to the drive system that monitors and manages the use of an energy storage system such as, but not limited to, a battery) and related software have applications in markets ranging from electric/hybrid electric vehicles to materials handling equipment, distributive power, ground support equipment, motion control, and military applications.

Our proprietary, variable gap, axial flux technology (for these purposes, a motor in which the magnetic fields run parallel to the access of rotation) combines:

very high efficiency and torque density capability(generally, the amount of turning force in relation to weight of the electro-magnetic components of the motor);and
low or zero emissions.

Our current business plan is to expand on our established technology and market presence in the sale of proprietary and highly efficient, variable gap, axial flux, permanent magnet electric motors ranging from 1kW(to drive a two wheel vehicle) to 120 kW(to drive a truck or bus), for a broad range of commercial markets.

We are in the process of applying for several U.S. government grants under the American Recovery Act to facilitate domestic manufacturing and/or sales. If and when federal grant money becomes available to us, we hope to move quickly to commercial agreements for the US domestic market.

Our current primary market focus is the electric vehicle market in China and India where we believe, urban air and noise pollution and high fuel costs make our technology very attractive. China and India are currently the two largest markets in the world for electric vehicles and these markets will be instrumental in our strategy to become the lowest cost provider of light electric vehicles with the best performance in terms of efficiency and torque, and speed.

Strategic Relationships and Customers

Mahindra Group

In June 2009, we entered into a 30-month technical assistance agreement for light transport vehicle drive systems with Mahindra Group, a leading manufacturer in India of utility vehicles, parts and accessories (“Mahindra”), to effectuate the next phases of integration of drive systems into 4 wheel transport vehicles. Under the agreement we will provide technical services including engineering, for electric drive and drive system components (i.e. systems that convert electrical power to mechanical power that will propel the vehicle and the related components, such as components that monitor and manage the use of the stored power). Our relationship with Mahindra has not changed, but the development of the project has progressed since we first entered the contractual relationship with Mahindra. The initial phase of the agreement was the preliminary conceptual work and technology demonstrated to prove that the intended targets were feasible. Upon completion of this phase and the consummation of the 2008 agreement with Mahindra, we entered into the June 2009 technical assistance agreement with an objective to complete the final production design, including setting up the necessary tooling for manufacture. If and when this current phase is successfully completed, both parties could proceed to the mass production phase (i.e., commercial sales) which would require another agreement to be entered into by Mahindra and the Company. The total amount payable under this agreement is approximately $726,000(including approximately $30,000 in reimbursable travel expenses), of which we have billed Mahindra approximately $558,000 and have been paid approximately $447,000 to date. We have been delayed in fulfilling this contract because of a six month delay in the commencement of the project, changes in the allocation of resources requested by Mahindra and engineering changes that arose during the project due to internal market feedback requiring modifications for mounting purposes and use on additional vehicle platforms that Mahindra is considering. The agreement may be terminated by Mahindra at any time upon 30 days prior notice.

Bajaj Auto Ltd

As a result of our acquisition of certain assets of New Generation Motors in 2007, we believe that we are a party to a master license agreement with Bajaj Auto Ltd. (“Bajaj Auto”), pursuant to which, among other things, Bajaj Auto had (i) exclusive distribution licenses and the right to use one of our proprietary engineering designs (EMS-401-043) in their three- wheeled vehicle for sale anywhere in the world other than the United States (it is a non-exclusive right in the U.S), (ii) the exclusive license and right for the manufacturing specifications and technologies for use in their 3-wheeled vehicles that consist of an integrated electric motor and controller( which right applies to Bajaj Auto products built and marketed in India) and (iii) non-exclusive licenses for the manufacture and distribution of our product (EMS-401-043) in their various two- three- and four- wheeled vehicles, which right is exclusive in India with respect to two-wheeled vehicles. Although there was no express consent by Bajaj of the assignment from New Generation Motors to NuGen, we believe that Bajaj has been acting towards us in accordance with the terms of the master license agreement. However, since commercial production did not commence within 3 years of the agreement with Bajaj, in accordance with the terms of the agreement all rights became non-exclusive.

In consideration of the grant of such licenses, Bajaj Auto agreed to pay a $645,500 fee of which $245,500 was paid to New Generation Motors. The $400,000 balance of such fee is to be paid, if at all, as follows: (i) $250,000 for the first 625 units of Bajaj Auto’s three wheeler products sold, based on a rate of $400 per unit; (ii) $ 50,000 upon the commencement of commercial production, which is defined as the completion of the initial 1,200 units and the remittance of preproduction technology fees) of the products; (iii) $ 50,000 on completion of cumulative sale from the date of commencement of commercial production of 5,000 units of specified products; and (iv) $ 50,000 on completion of cumulative sale from the date of commencement of commercial production of 10,000 units of specified products.

We have exclusive rights for the manufacture and sale of any improvements, modifications or developments in the technology in the US. Technical support supplied by us under the agreement is at the rate of $500 per day. Under the agreement, Bajaj is obligated to supply us with the first 300 units at cost and thereafter at 10% above cost. The term of the agreement is until the earlier of December 7, 2015 or 7 years from payment of 1,200 initial units and payments of a pre-production technology fee, and may be terminated by Bajaj upon 90 days’ notice. Because Bajaj is not actively marketing its product at present, no assurance can be given that we will receive any payments pursuant to this agreement.

BSA Motors of India

We are a party to a 12-month technical support agreement with BSA Motors of India, a subsidiary of the Murugappa Group (“BSA Motors”). BSA Motors is in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing electric, hybrid electric and standard internal combustion engine two-wheelers (2w) currently primarily in India. Pursuant to the agreement, which was entered into in September 2009, we will provide technical support, including prototype development and demonstration, concept design and development and improvements for motor and controller systems for BSA Motors electric scooters with the long-term goal of becoming BSA Motors’ power train systems supplier. The agreement provides that we will not provide technical support regarding the development, manufacture or marketing of axial flux powertrain or new powertrain systems for 2-wheeler platforms to other OEMs during the term of the agreement in India and that BSA Motors will not develop new axial flux powertrain with any party other than us. BSA Motors also has a right of first refusal for the commercial application in India of motors and controllers for electric 2-wheelers developed by us. The total value of the agreement is approximately $132,000, of which we have billed and have been paid $39,000 to date. The agreement may be terminated by BSA Motors upon 30 days' notice to us. The BSA products discussed are about half the power and size, such as 2kW vs. 8kW, as those in the Bajaj agreement described above.

US Department of Defense

We have a two-year agreement, effective September 2009, with the United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) for a Phase II (contract value ranging from $500,000-$750,000) Small Business Innovation Research program (“SBIR”) with the US Army to demonstrate our variable gap control technology for electric generators and motors for the purpose of validating applicability, performance and reliability on future platforms and to produce prototypes. We have a consultant specializing in this area to facilitate our efforts. We also plan to coordinate the SBIR efforts to our ‘Micro-Truck’ drive system to increase the marketability and performance of that system. Although the Company does not currently foresee not being able to perform under the agreement, the contract as stated is a fixed price contract based on deliverables and milestones. In the event that the Company would not be able to deliver and complete the work as described in the contract, due to such factors as the overall financial stability of the Company, “force majeure” events, or reallocation of government budgets, the contract may be temporarily or indefinitely terminated.

Niche/Specialized Market

We also have had a market in motors and controllers for solar racing teams worldwide, where our variable gap, in-wheel motors continue to produce winners in solar racing competition. Solar car competition participants may include future automotive and other EV industry engineers from top universities. More than 25% of the teams currently engaged in these activities have been, or are currently, our customers. The solar car market offers a unique opportunity for us as it provides benefits beyond sales and revenue. This niche market requires the most advanced systems that are available and pushes technology to the edge and inspires new continuing development that may not make general commercial sense. This offers us a market segment that allows for continued research and development to test products in extreme conditions so that we may apply the technology and lessons learned to primary commercial markets. Using our technology in solar cars has been beneficial in adopting our technology, at minimal cost for use in various platforms. We need to constantly ensure that our technology is adaptable to different platforms; having our technology utilized in the solar car competition provides us with a low cost opportunity to test our technology.

The Market

Primary markets for our core technology of variable gap, axial flux, permanent magnet motors include:

• Low and Zero Emission Vehicles in Developing Countries: Worldwide requirements to reduce hydrocarbon fuel consumption and air pollution have created a large and emerging market for efficient, inexpensive and reliable, low and zero emission electric drive vehicles using batteries, fuel cells or hybrid configurations. Electric drive systems can be employed in the entire spectrum of small passenger vehicles including scooters, motorcycles, three-wheelers, neighborhood electric vehicles, compact cars, micro pickups and micro busses. We are targeting the entire segment of the small vehicle traction market and propose to supply electric drive systems technology with all prime movers.

• Three-wheelers In India: Bajaj currently builds approximately 300,000 three-wheel and 2,000,000 two-wheel vehicles per year. After five years of developmental and functional testing, Bajaj began limited commercial production of Eco-Ricks, its all electric auto rickshaw, in December 2006 for additional public testing.

• Four-wheelers: (Light Commercial Vehicles) under our agreement with Mahindra, we currently anticipate that Mahindra will produce a minimum of 1,200 vehicles for further market testing and evaluation.

• Two-wheelers: 20 two-wheel scooters for Bajaj were built, tested and certified by the government of India. Four additional platforms with intended deployments in late 2010 early 2011 are being considered with BSA Motors.

• Further extension of this vertical market includes applications such as electric all-terrain vehicles (were Company management estimates, based solely on informal discussions between Company management and representatives of Mahindra, volumes could exceed 10,000 vehicles per year), golf carts (with about 250,000 vehicle sales per year in the US), neighborhood electric vehicles, quadracycles, citicars and electric motor applications for 15’ to 45’ sailboats.

• Materials Handling Equipment and Defense Applications: Airport ground support equipment, including baggage tractors and belt loaders are often powered by electric drive systems. We have supplied our technologies and products to Harlan Corporation for use in integrated starter generator units in their ground support vehicles.

Competition

All of the markets in which we operate are highly competitive. The markets served by the technology segment are additionally characterized by rapid changes due to technological advances that can render existing technologies and products obsolete.

We hope to market our advanced electric propulsion systems and components to vehicle original equipment manufacturers and their suppliers throughout the world for use in electric, hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric and fuel cell electric vehicles. In recent years, the market for hybrid electric automobiles has begun to emerge, led by the introduction and market success of hybrid electric vehicles manufactured by Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Ford and General Motors. Recently, International Truck and Engine Corporation, Freightliner Trucks and Peterbilt Motors Company announced plans to begin production of hybrid electric medium-duty trucks and Caterpillar, Inc. introduced a belt-less engine/electric tracked bulldozer. As a result, we expect additional vehicle makers in both on-road and off-road markets to develop and introduce a variety of hybrid electric vehicles as the market acceptance of these vehicles continues to grow. To our knowledge, none of these companies manufacture axial flux motors, however their end application or market is the same market where our motors may be utilized. We believe that we are able to compete due to our topology or style of motor which offers unique characteristics. Our topology of motor is typically much shorter in length but larger in diameter than other styles of motors. Depending on the application and end use, this offers other potential options for the customers that the other competitors may not offer. In addition, our topology of motor generally offers greater torque capability for the same power level thus operating at lower speeds while still maintaining equivalent if not better efficiencies whereby the other systems typically will operate at higher speeds and lower torque to achieve the same power levels.

We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully in this market or any other market that now exists or may develop in the future. There are numerous companies developing products that do or soon will compete with our systems. Some of these companies possess significantly greater financial, personnel and other resources than we do, including established supply arrangements and volume manufacturing operations. In addition, the U.S. government's Stimulus Bill is expected to award substantial financial grants and loans to companies engaged in the development and manufacture of energy efficient, low emission vehicles and the components that enable their operation. Companies that receive awards under the Stimulus Bill may have substantially greater financial resources available to them which could improve their ability to compete with us. We believe our principal competitors for axial motors and similar products include Honda, Toyota, General Motors, Daimler, Hitachi, Toshiba, Siemens, Delphi, Danaher, Enova and United Technologies Corp., UQM Technologies, Inc. and Azure Dynamics.

Our technology which can be utilized for power products competes primarily in the automotive, heavy equipment, military, aerospace and medical products industries. Each of these industries is extremely competitive. We face substantial competition on a continuing basis from numerous companies, many of whom possess longer operating histories, significantly greater financial resources and marketing, distribution and manufacturing capability. Our technology can be used for such power products such as the electronic amplifiers and controllers are used to power and run electric motors. Presently most of these power products are tuned to operate with our motors but are useable to be able to run other types and manufactures electric motors. We believe our principal competitors for power products include Advanced Motors and Drives, Allied Motion, Emerson Electric, General Electric, Moog, Rockwell International, Baldor, Hitachi, Hyundai, Toshiba, Siemens, Delphi, Danaher, United Technologies, UQM Technologies, Inc., L-3 Communications and Enova.

We believe that we compete and that we will continue to be able to compete with our competitors in the engine drive and power product markets based on the limited number of competitors for axial flux motors, price, and our reputation with customers with whom we have worked. The competitive disadvantages that we face include that we are not as well known as many of our competitors who have greater resources (financial, engineering and otherwise) than we have.

Technology, Competitive Advantage, Value Proposition

Our high efficiency variable gap, axial flux, permanent magnet (“PM”) motors are different from conventional electric motors due to the different path of their magnetic flux.

Axial Flux Technology: In conventional motors the flux flows radially (i.e. outward from the access of rotation) through the air gap between the rotor (the rotating part of the motor) and the stator (the stationary part of the motor). However, in axial flux motors, the flux flows parallel to the axis of the motor. The motor, often referred to as a “pancake” rotor, can be made much thinner and lighter, with the same performance.

Our key competitive advantage is that our motors offer high torque density and installation in tight spaces, like inside wheel housings. This has been very compelling to companies like Bajaj that seek low-cost, high efficiency motors for conversion from internal combustion to electric propulsion in small vehicles.

An additional competitive advantage of axial flux motors over conventional series wound or induction motors is their efficiency.

Variable Gap Technology: In our permanent magnet (“PM”) motors, the magnets create the working flux. This is different than an AC induction motor which is current-driven and does not use a permanent magnet. This fact is central to why a PM motor can be more efficient than other motors. Unfortunately, this is the same property that causes the most significant limitation of a PM motor; the permanent field causes a fixed relationship between winding current and motor torque. This relationship or “torque constant” (kT), also defines a fixed top speed of a PM motor. The higher the kT, the lower the top motor speed.

An axial flux PM motor is different than a radial flux PM motor, because the kT can be varied, without causing power loss by simply altering a critical geometry of the motor. Although there are many different contributors to the torque constant, the one of interest to us is the distance between the magnet rotor and the stator. In axial flux motors, the rotor and stator are adjacent discs and the “gap” is the space between the disks. By moving one of these discs axially relative to the other, the torque constant can be adjusted. This geometry can be varied statically (in the factory, simply with different spacers) or dynamically (by the vehicle controller). The result is optimal performance for various uses or drive conditions from the same electric motor. The variable gap allows for application-specific optimization of power, torque, and speed, while maximizing efficiency across the operating range. Application of this technology makes electric motors very efficient and can result in energy savings.

Efficiency can vary due to many factors. In accordance with National Electrical Manufacturers Association/International Electrical Technical Commission motor standard, general nominal efficiency of electric motors range from 78.8% to 92.4% efficiency depending on the size and power of the motor. In accordance with Energy Policy Act standards, premium efficiency electric motors achieve peak target efficiencies up to 95%. There is very limited data available regarding other axial flux motors since this a new topology of motor that very few if any have worked on. Stated unvalidated efficiencies have been seen from 60% to 95%. Our typical motors have total peak system efficiencies ranging from 92% to 96%. Removing the electronics from the system places the motors peak efficiencies in the range of 96% to 98%.

New Applications, In-Wheel Motors: We believe that there are other applications for this technology in low tech products ranging from ceiling fans to floor buffers; and to high tech products ranging from flywheels and military actuators. However, our primary focus is in-and near-wheel motors, that we have been selling for solar racing. Application of in-wheel technology plays to the strength of axial flux motors and our variable gap technology, and we believe is a compelling motive traction solution for electric, hybrid and fuel cell powered vehicles.

Manufacturing

We manufacture our axial flux motor system for our customers on a small scale basis. In particular, we are focused on the manufacture of prototypes requested by customers and the customization of our technology in these products in accordance with customer specifications. These activities are conducted in our Virginia based facilities. If and when there is significantly increased demand for our technology, we will have to outsource the manufacture of products containing our axial motor to others. In anticipation of increased demand for our technology, we are exploring outsourcing opportunities in China, though no assurance can be given that such capability will be required or if required, that we will be able to secure an outsourcing arrangement on satisfactory terms.

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Zuo was entitled to receive an annual base salary of $300,000, subject to review and increase at our board of directors' discretion. We elected to defer payment of some or all of the compensation to our Chairman and our other executives until such time as our financial situation permits payment of such compensation. All deferred amounts are reflected in the table. The total cash amount paid to our Chairman and CEO in each of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 was $11,250. Beginning January 1, 2009, we stopped paying and accruing salaries to all of our officers.

Employment Agreements with Messrs. Takamura and Pritzker
 
On February 9, 2010, we Inc. entered into agreements pursuant to which we employed Eric Takamura as our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Alan Pritzker as our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Takamura’s annual base salary is $180,000 and he is entitled to a signing bonus of $30,000 and Mr. Pritzker’s annual base salary is $120,000 and he is entitled to a signing bonus of $10,000. The signing bonuses were paid. We granted Messrs. Takamura and Pritzker, pursuant to our 2010 Stock Option Plan, options to acquire 900,000 shares and 150,000 shares of our common stock, respectively. The employment agreements also provide that they are entitled to receive such other benefits as may be made available by us to our employees and key executive officers (and with respect life, medical, health and death plans, such coverage is, with specified exceptions and limitations, to be provided to the employee and his family at our expense until the expiration of the applicable employee’s non-compete period (which may be as long as one year following termination of his employment)) and, in the discretion of our board of directors, annual bonuses (including a pro-rata annual bonus following termination without cause or for good reason if such bonus was awarded by the board). Mr. Takamura’s employment agreement provides that it is anticipated that he will receive an annual bonus of 100% of his base salary and Mr. Pritzker’s employment agreement provides that it is anticipated that he will receive an annual bonus of 25% of his base salary.

The term of employment is, in the case of Mr. Takamura for three years, and in the case of Mr. Pritzker, one year, in each case commencing January 1, 2010 (the effective date of these agreements), and the term of employment is renewed automatically for successive one year periods unless we or the employee gives notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the applicable term. We may terminate the employment of an employee before the stated expiration date for “Cause” (as defined in the applicable employment agreement) in which case we are only obligated to pay the employee his unpaid base salary through the termination date; provided, however, if the reason for terminating him for “Cause” is due to his material uncured breach of his employment agreement, we must pay him his base salary (as in effect at the time of termination) for, in the case of Mr. Takamura, nine months, and, in the case of Mr. Pritzker, three months, following termination of employment.

We may also terminate either of these employees without “Cause” (which is defined as either: (i) the indictment of, or the bringing of formal charges against the executive on charges involving criminal fraud or embezzlement; (ii) the indictment of, or the brining of formal charges against executive of a crime involving an act or acts of dishonesty, fraud or moral turpitude by the executive, which act or acts constitute a felony; (iii) executive negligently or knowingly having caused the Company to violate the Company’s Bylaws or other policies; (iv) executive having committed acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company, including with respect to any valid contract to which the Company is a party; (v) executive having committed acts or omissions constituting a breach of executive’s duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty to the Company or any material act of dishonesty or fraud with respect to the Company which are not cured or substantially cured to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors of the Company in a reasonable time, which time shall be at least 5 days from receipt of written notice from the Company of such material breach; (vi) executive having committed acts or omissions constituting a material breach of his employment Agreement which are not cured or substantially cured to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors of the Company in a reasonable time, which time shall be at least 5 days from receipt of written notice from the Company setting forth with specificity the particulars of any such material breach as well as the corrective actions required. or either employee may, if he determines in good faith that he has “Good Reason” (as defined below), to terminate his employment. In either of such events, we are obligated to (A) continue to pay the employee his base salary (as in effect at the time of such termination) for the longer of (i) the balance of his employment term or (ii) in the case of Mr. Takamura twelve (12) months, and in the case of Mr. Pritzker, four months, from the date of termination , (B) pay the employee his pro rata share of his annual bonus, if any, is awarded and (C) provide such employee with outplacement services. The term “Good Reason” means (w) our failure to appoint or reappoint the employee to his position or his removal from his office or position, (x) the employee is assigned duties materially inconsistent with his position or his position, authority, duties, or responsibilities are materially diminished, (y) our uncured breach of any material provision of the employee’s employment agreement, or (z) within twelve months following a “Change in Control” (as defined Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), a sale of substantially all of our assets or we are merged out of existence (collectively, a “Change of Control Event”).

 In the event of  change of control), sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or the merger out of existence of the Company should occur, all stock options awarded under the employment agreement will immediately vest and become exercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the stock options will terminate immediately following a termination of the executive for “Cause” and upon 180 days upon the voluntary termination of service by Mr. Takamura and upon 90 days upon the voluntary termination of service by Mr. Pritzker if not for “Good Reason.”

Compensation of Directors
 
No compensation has been paid to any of our directors in consideration for their services rendered in their capacity as directors during our fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Commencing February 2010, the Board determined that an independent director will receive $1,000 for each board meeting attended and $500 for each committee meeting attended.  No compensation for serving on a committee will be paid to a committee member without the approval of all of the members of the Board. As appropriate, another member of the Board may be requested to attend a committee meeting in order to determine that a committee meeting of a one-person committee has occurred.
 
Director and Officer Liability Insurance
We currently have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, subject to certain exclusions. Such insurance also insures us against losses which we may incur in indemnifying our officers and directors.

Code of Ethics

We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size.
 
Board Committees
 
Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate governance committee. The members of each committee are appointed by the board of directors and serve one year terms. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Our board of directors has not appointed a nominating committee and has not yet adopted procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
 
Audit Committee. The sole member of our audit committee is Dr. Michael Kleinman. The audit committee’s functions include overseeing the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, , the performance of our internal audit function and controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics that management and our board of directors have established and making recommendations with respect to the selection and qualifications of our independent registered public accounting firm. In this oversight capacity, the audit committee reviews the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered accounting firm, including any recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee is comprised of outside directors who are not officers or employees of us or our subsidiaries. In the opinion of the board of directors, Dr. Kleinman is “independent” as that term is defined in the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
 
 
27

 

Compensation Committee. The sole member of our compensation committee is Dr. Michael Kleinman. The compensation committee determines the goals and objectives, and makes determinations regarding the salary and bonus for the CEO, approves salaries and bonuses for the other executive officers, administers our incentive compensation plans and makes recommendations to the board of directors and senior management regarding our compensation programs.
 
Governance Committee. The sole member of our nominating and governance committee is Dr. Michael Kleinman. The governance committee is responsible for evaluating our governance and the governance of our board and its committees, monitoring our compliance and that of the board and its committees with our corporate governance guidelines, evaluating our corporate governance guidelines and reviewing those matters that require the review and consent of the independent directors of the board and that are not otherwise within the responsibilities delegated to another committee of the board.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
From October 2006 to January 2009, Eric Takamura, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, and a director and a principal stockholder, made loans to us in the aggregate principal amount of $551,382 at an interest rate of 10.2% per annum. On September 30, 2009, Eric Takamura agreed to forgive $1,346,693 owed to him by our company ($686,169 of which was pursuant to such outstanding loans and accrued interest thereon, and $660,524 was for accrued and unpaid salary).

Eric Takamura was Chief Operating Officer of New Generation Motors from June 2004 to February 27, 2007. Henry Toh, Vice Chairman of our board of directors and an officer, is an officer and a director of Four M International, Inc. (“Four M”). In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 13,2007, NuGen Mobility, among other things, assumed outstanding indebtedness to Four M in the amount of $62,500, pursuant to a one-year promissory note, dated April 23, 2003, payable at an interest rate of 5.5% per annum, in monthly installments commencing  May 23, 2003. NuGen Mobility assumed this debt as a condition to the completion of the transaction imposed by New Generation Motors. In connection with the Merger, Four M received 386,250 shares in exchange for the cancellation of indebtedness of $57,938 which was still outstanding.
 
From August 2006 to June 2009, Ron Takamura, a principal stockholder and brother of Eric Takamura, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, and a director and a principal stockholder, made loans to us in the aggregate principal amount of $371,500, at interest rates of 10.2%. As of December 31, 2009 these loans accrued a total of $93,976 of interest thereon. We issued 3,103,173 shares of Common Stock to Ron Takamura in the Private Placement as a result for the cancellation of his debt (including accrued interest).


In December 2006, NuGen Mobility entered into an agreement with Hamilton Clarke, an investor relations firm that was a 10% shareholder at that time and whose shares were acquired by Eric Takamura in November 2009, to provide financial advisory services. NuGen Mobility granted the firm 111 shares of its Common Stock per the terms of the agreement. In January 2008 NuGen terminated its agreement with the firm and converted the $35,650 it owed the firm into a note payable.  Interest accrued on this loan at the rate of 1% per annum. $25,000 was repaid by NuGen Mobility on February 22, 2010 and the remaining balance was forgiven by the consultant and the note was terminated

Director Independence
 
We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Notwithstanding, in the opinion of the board of directors, Dr. Kleinman is “independent” as that term is defined in the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
The following table lists, as of the date of this Prospectus, the number of shares of our common stock that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock; (ii) each executive officer and director of our company; and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of Common Stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.

The percentages below are calculated based on 50,381,564 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each person listed is NuGen Holdings, Inc, 44645 Gilford Drive, Suite 201, Ashburn, Virginia 20147.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 50,381,564 shares are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus. Each holder of our shares of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders, including the election of directors. The holders of shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or cumulative voting rights. Other than as provided below, there is no provision in our Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our Company.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which is issued and outstanding (although we have an agreement to issue shares of Series A Preferred Stock). See “Business-Recent Developments and Change in Control- Private Placement”. Our board of directors has the right, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares with rights superior to the rights of the holders of shares of common stock. As a result, preferred shares could be issued quickly and easily, negatively affecting the rights of holders of common shares and could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult. Because we may issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in order to raise capital for our operations, your ownership interest may be diluted which results in your percentage of ownership in us decreasing.
 
 
29

 

Other Outstanding Securities

We also have outstanding: (i) options to acquire up to 2,400,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices from $0.15 to $0.45 , (ii) a warrant to acquire up to 360,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0,001 per share, and (iii) options to acquire up to 4,666,667 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.15 .
 
Sales Pursuant to Rule 144

No shares of our common stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 until February 4, 2011, at the earliest, and only if we file all reports and other materials required to be filed by us pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding twelve months.

Transfer Agent

Currently, we act as our own transfer agent.
 
Anti-Takeover Effect of Delaware Law, Certain By-Law Provisions
 
Certain provisions of our By-Laws are intended to strengthen our board of director’s position in the event of a hostile takeover attempt. These provisions have the following effects:
 
 
·
they provide that only business brought before an annual meeting by our board of directors or by a stockholder who complies with the procedures set forth in the By-Laws may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders; and

 
·
they provide for advance notice of certain stockholder actions, such as the nomination of directors and stockholder proposals.

We are also subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior, did own, 15% or more of the voting stock of the Delaware corporation.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

The selling shareholders named in the table titled 'Selling Shareholders' are offering all of the shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. Other than the costs of preparing this prospectus and a registration fee to the SEC, we are not paying any costs relating to the sales by the selling security holders. To our knowledge, none of the selling security holders is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.

The persons listed in the following table plan to offer the shares shown opposite their respective names by means of this prospectus. The owners of the shares to be sold by means of this prospectus are referred to as the “selling” shareholders”. These shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitations

 
·
A block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·
Purchase by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
 
·
Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers
 
·
Face to face transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker/dealer.

In competing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be negotiated. As to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in excess of customary commissions. Neither, we nor the selling stockholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation.
 
The selling shareholders and any broker/dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares will be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Acts of 1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit on any resale of the shares as a principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

If any selling shareholders enters into an agreement to sell his or her shares to a broker/dealer as principal and the broker/dealer is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, identifying the broker/dealer, providing required information concerning the plan of distribution, and otherwise revising the disclosures in this prospectus as needed. We will also file the agreement between the selling shareholder and the broker/dealer as an exhibit to the post-effective amendment to the registration statement.

We have advised the selling shareholders that they and any securities broker/dealers or others who will be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. We have advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a “distribution” of the shares owned by the selling shareholder, such selling shareholder, any “affiliated purchasers”, and any broker/dealer or other person who participates in the distribution may be subject to Rule 102 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act until their participation in that distribution is complete. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same class, as is the subject of the distribution. A “distribution” is defined in Rule 102 as an offering of securities “that is distinguished from ordinary trading transaction by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods”. We have advised the selling shareholders that Rule 101 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act prohibits any “stabilizing bid” or “stabilizing purchase” for purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the common stock in connection with this offering.
 
Except as reflected in the table below, to the Company’s knowledge, none of the selling shareholders has, or had, any material relationship with our officers or directors.
 
The shares of common stock owned by the selling shareholders may be offered and sold by means of this prospectus from time to time as market conditions permit. If and when our common stock becomes quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the shares owned by the selling shareholders may be sold in public market or in private transactions for cash at prices to be determined at that time. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders.
 
Based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, the following table sets forth the names of the selling shareholders, the number of shares owned, the number of shares registered by this prospectus and the number and percent of outstanding shares that the selling shareholders will own after the sale of the registered shares, assuming all of the shares are sold. None of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock are being offered for sale by the selling stockholders as no shares of such preferred stock have been issued nor are any shares of such preferred stock reflected in this table. The information provided in the table and discussions below has been obtained from the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which it provided the information regarding the shares beneficially owned, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. As used in this prospectus, "selling shareholder" includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received from the named selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, distribution or other non-sale related transfer.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Unless otherwise noted, each person or group identified possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
No underwriters or brokers are involved or are expected to be involved in the distribution. On January 29, 2010 we acquired NuGen pursuant to a reverse subsidiary merger in which we issued 27,133,384 shares of common stock to the two stockholders of NuGen. We also issued an aggregate of 16,969,834 shares of common stock in connection with the Debt Conversion and the private placement consummated in February 2010(inclusive of the 1,000,000 shares issued to Martinez). Such shares, together with the remaining 6,278,346 shares, were issued by us in transactions exempt from the Securities Act of 1933. A copy of this prospectus will be mailed to each selling security holder upon effectiveness. We will also mail copies of this prospectus to brokers and dealers who may reasonably be expected in the future to trade or make a market in our common stock. However, we do not anticipate that an active market for its common stock will develop in the near future, and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop at any time.

The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling shareholders may sell the shares from time to time:
 
 
·
In transactions on the Pink Sheets, the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or on any national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities association on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
 
In private transactions and transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
 
·
At a price of $1.00 per share for the duration of the offering or until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices;
 
·
In negotiated transactions;
 
·
In a combination of such methods of sale; or
 
·
Any other method permitted by law.

The selling shareholders may effect such transactions by offering and selling the shares directly to or through securities broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom the selling shareholders may sell as principal, or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions.
 
 
35

 

If our common stock becomes traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board electronic quotation service, then the sales price to the public will vary according to the selling decisions of each selling shareholder and the market for our stock at the time of resale. In these circumstances, the sales price to the public may be:
 
 
·
The market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of sale;
 
·
A price related to such prevailing market price of our common stock; or
 
·
Such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time.

We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus.

We will cover all the expenses in connection with the registration of our common stock in this prospectus. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
 
On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part, we will advise the selling shareholders that they and any securities broker-dealers or others who may be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be governed by the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of any of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable period under Regulation M prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the selling shareowners will be governed by the applicable provisions of the Securities and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without limitation Rules 10b-5 and Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling shareholders. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities.

On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part, we will advise the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security owners and any of their affiliates. We have informed the selling shareholders that they may not:
 
 
·
Engage in any stabilization activity in connection with any of the shares;
 
·
Bid for or purchase any of the shares or any rights to acquire the shares;
 
·
Attempt to induce any person to purchase any of the shares or rights to acquire the shares other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act; or
 
·
Effect any sale or distribution of the shares until after the prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or supplemented, if required, to describe the terms of the sale or distribution.

Penny Stock Regulations

Our shares are "penny stocks" covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 and Rule 15g-9 promulgated thereunder and as a result, additional sales practice requirements may be imposed on broker/dealers who sell our securities .While Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to brokers-dealers, they do not apply to us.

Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.

Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.

Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.

Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.


Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.

Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approved the transaction for the customer's account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of his rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.
 
 
36

 

The FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker/dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock

Again, the foregoing rules apply to broker/dealers. They do not apply to us in any manner whatsoever. Since our shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers, many broker/dealers may not want to make a market in our shares or conduct any transactions in our shares. As such, your ability to dispose of your shares may be adversely affected.

Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
 
If a selling security holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this registration statement in the United States, the selling security holders will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as "Blue Sky laws," with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemption from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor's. The broker for a selling security holder will be able to advise a selling security holder which states our common stock is exempt from registration with that state for secondary sales.
 
Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling security holder under this registration statement who then wants to sell such shares will also have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales. When the registration statement becomes effective, and a selling security holder indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to identify whether it will need to register or it will rely on an exemption there from.
 
LEGAL MATTERS
 
 David Lubin & Associates, PLLC, 5 North Village Avenue, Suite 1100, Rockville Centre, New York, will opine upon the validity of the common stock offered by this prospectus.
 
INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
  
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee.
 
The consolidated financial statements of NuGen Mobility, Inc. as of and for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 appearing in this prospectus have been audited by Webb & Company, P.A. Independent Registered Public Accountants, as set forth in their report thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.


On December 28, 2009 our Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Salberg & Company, P.A. (“SalbergCo”) as our principal independent registered public accountants.
 
SalbergCo was the independent registered public accounting firm for our financial statement periods from February 11, 2008 (inception) to September 30, 2008 and for the interim periods since then. The report of SalbergCo’s on our financial statements from February 11, 2008 (inception) to September 30, 2008 did not, (a) contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, (b) was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that there was an explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, or (c) did not contain any disagreements on any matters of accounting principles or practices financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of SalbergCo would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. None of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-K occurred during the period in which SalbergCo served as our principal independent accountants.
 
We engaged Webb & Company, P.A. of Boynton Beach, Florida, as our principal independent registered public accountants as of December 28, 2009.We did not consult with Webb & Company, P.A. regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements. Neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us by Webb & Company, P.A. that they concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. We did not consult Webb & Company, P.A. regarding any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or any of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and related instructions.

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
 
The DGCL allows us, and in specified circumstances requires us, to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner provided for by the DGCL. We believe that the DGCL provisions permitting or mandating indemnification allows us to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us 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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We have also filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (Commission file No. 333-165682), including exhibits, with the SEC with respect to the shares being offered in this offering.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Merger

On January 29, 2010, InovaChem, Inc., a Delaware corporation, completed the acquisition of NuGen Mobility, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NuGen” or “NuGen Mobility”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated January 29, 2010(the “Merger Agreement”), by and among InovaChem, Inc., NuGen and InovaChem Mergerco II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of InovaChem, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, NuGen merged (the “Merger”) with and into InovaChem Mergerco II, and NuGen, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of InovaChem, Inc. On February 26, 2010, the board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation changing the Company’s name from InovaChem, Inc. to NuGen Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “NuGen Holdings”). The Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation became effective on March 4, 2010.

Upon the closing of the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of NuGen’s common stock was converted into 24,422.48 shares of NuGen Holdings’ common stock. As a result, an aggregate of 27,133,384 shares of NuGen Holdings’ common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) were issued to the two shareholders of NuGen. Simultaneous with the closing of the Merger, 15,236,667 shares of Common Stock were redeemed by NuGen Holdings for a cash payment of $152. Following the redemption of these shares, the two shareholders of NuGen owned approximately 81% of NuGen Holdings.

The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. NuGen is the acquirer for accounting purposes and NuGen Holdings is the acquiree. Accordingly, NuGen’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the Merger. The accumulated deficit of NuGen is carried forward after the acquisition. Operations prior to the Merger are those of NuGen. Earnings per share for the period prior to the Merger are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.

Description of Business

The Company is engaged, through its wholly-owned subsidiary NuGen, in the research, development and sale of permanent magnet electric motors and the electronic controls for such motors. Our facility is located in Ashburn, VA. Our revenue is derived primarily from contract research and development engineering services. Our technology relates to specialty electric drive engines and related components. This technology is currently being sold directly to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) pursuant to technical assistance agreements. The agreements generally provide for us to engineer our technology to run in various platforms (e.g. vehicles, electric generators and motors) and to be adapted to a customer’s particular application. We offer these services from our facility located in Virginia, to customers that require high-efficiency, reliable, compact permanent magnet electrical motor systems, controllers, vehicle interface modules (including energy storage, management and monitoring systems) and related software. Our technology is used primarily to convert electrical power into mechanical power so that mechanical power can be used to propel a vehicle or run a generator and may be used in markets ranging from electric/hybrid electric vehicles to materials handling equipment, distributive power, ground support equipment, motion control, and military systems.  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes of the NuGen Mobility, Inc. for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, included in the Company's Form 8-K as exhibit 99.1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2010.


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NuGen Holdings, Inc, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NuGen Mobility, Inc., and Trinterprise, LLC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company had approximately $141,359 in excess of FDIC insurance limits as of June 30, 2010.

NUGEN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2010
(UNAUDITED)
Accounts Receivable

We extend unsecured credit to most of our customers following a review of the customers' financial condition and credit history. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a number of factors including the length of time accounts receivables are past due, the customer's ability to pay its obligation to us, the condition of the general economy, estimates of credit risk, historical trends and other information. Accounts receivable are deemed to be past due when they have not been paid by their contractual due date. We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible against our allowance for doubtful accounts. At June 30, 2010, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.

Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). At June 30, 2010 the Company had $186,224 of work in process inventory.
 
Machinery and Equipment

Machinery and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 5 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,399 and $1,399, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically evaluate whether circumstances or events have affected the recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite useful lives. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or groups of assets from expected future cash flows estimated by management. If expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized to adjust the asset to fair value as determined by expected discounted future cash flows.

Revenue and Cost Recognition
 
We currently generate revenue primarily from contract research and development services and may derive additional revenues in the future from the sale of our products to customers. We currently generate revenue primarily from contract research and development services and may derive additional revenues in the future from the sale of our products to customers. Our products are specialty electric drive engines and related components. These products are a direct result of the services to design and build each unit, which each are built to each customer’s specifications. We account for the products sold as one unit. We intend in the future to derive revenue from sales of products and will recognize the sale at the time title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer which is typically when products are shipped based on the terms of the customer purchase agreement.
 
Some customers are asked to provide deposits prior to the Company accepting their orders. Customer Deposits are reflected on the balance sheet as a current liability and are reclassified to revenue at the time when title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer.

Revenue relating to long-term fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, contract revenues and related costs are recognized based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs.


Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued.

(UNAUDITED)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The valuation of deferred tax assets may be reduced if future realization is not assured.

The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Research and Development

Costs of researching and developing new technology, or significantly altering existing technology, are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation . Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.
 
Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.


Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by all outstanding and potentially dilutive shares during the periods presented, unless the effect is antidilutive. As of June 30, 2010, there were 360,000 warrants and 2,400,000 options outstanding to purchase the Company’s common stock. These options and warrants have not been included in the weighted average number of shares as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts on the Company’s financial instruments including accounts payable, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for this instrument.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on January 1, 2011. 

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements, the Company has working capital of $305,479, an accumulated deficit of $4,074,723 and negative cash flows from operations of $974,308 during the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate additional revenues from operations, raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional revenues and funding, and to implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such funds if and when it wishes to do so or on terms acceptable to us. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Specifically, in the event that the Company is not successful at raising capital to a level sufficient to pay its expenditures, the Company will have to reduce administrative overhead and reduce marketing and public relations expenditures.  If the Company is unable to cut expenses to earn profits or raise additional debt or equity capital the Company will have to discontinue operations.

Pursuant to the Promissory Note dated as of August 23, 2007 the Company accrues interest on the loan at the rate of 6% per annum. Quarterly payments are made based on a formula that multiplies the revenue of NuGen’s gross revenues by 2% for calendar year 2007, 3% for calendar year 2008, 4% for calendar year 2009, 5% for calendar year 2010 and 6% for calendar year 2011 and for all subsequent years until the loan is paid in full. In all years NuGen is required to pay a minimum of $7,500 per quarter and any payment made that exceeds the amount that would be due under the formula shall be treated as an advance against subsequent quarterly amounts due in excess of the $7,500 minimum payment.

 
F-8

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2010
(UNAUDITED)

As of June 30, 2010, no payments of principal have been made as NuGen’s quarterly revenues, multiplied by the appropriate percentage, have not exceeded the $7,500 minimum payment. The payments made have gone towards accrued interest only. Additionally, further revenue contingent payments may be owed, in the future (see Note E – Commitments and Contingencies – below).

Pursuant to the Promissory Notes dated as of July 13, 2007, the Company accrued interest on these loans at the rate of 10% per annum. As the Company has not made payments of principal that were due in the past, the loans were in technical default. Accordingly, they are classified under the Current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s September 30, 2009 Balance Sheet. These amounts were converted to equity in January 2010 (See Note F – Stockholders’ Equity).

Pursuant to the Promissory Note dated as of June 5, 2009, the Company accrued interest on this loan at the rate of 5.6% per annum. As the note was due on demand, it is classified under the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s September 30, 2009 Balance Sheet. These amounts were converted to equity in January 2010 (See Note F – Stockholders’ Equity).

In November 2007, the Company purchased computer equipment and issued a four year note payable, included in “Other” on the above table, in the amount of $9,326. The Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of 18.45% per annum and makes monthly fixed payments of interest and principal.


In December 2009 and January 2010, the Company received $50,000 and $20,000, respectively as bridge loans. The loans bear interest at 5% per annum and were converted in January 2010 in exchange for 466,667 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with its private placement.

NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Parties

A significant shareholder of the Company is the brother of the Company’s Chairman, CEO and President. This shareholder loaned a total of $371,500 to the Company between August 2007 and September 2009 which is included in the Balance Sheet of the Company in Due to related parties, along with $93,976 of accrued interest at December 31, 2009. These amounts were converted to 3,103,173 shares of the Company’s common stock in January 2010 valued at a recent cash offering price (See Note F Stockholders’ Equity).

Concentration of Credit Risk

We have historically derived significant revenue from a few key customers. Revenue from one of our customers totaled $117,624 and $465,503 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively which was 45 percent and 87 percent of total revenue respectively. Revenue from another customer totaled 114,676 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 which was 44 percent of our 2010 revenues. Accounts receivable from these two customers equaled 95 percent of our total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2010.

NOTE E - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In August 2007, our subsidiary, NuGen Mobility entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it acquired substantially all of the assets, and specified liabilities of New Generation Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The agreement requires the payment to New Generation Motors of $1,000,000 pursuant to a promissory note, which bears simple interest at the rate of six percent. The principal amount of this note was reduced to $596,108 by the application of $403,892 in credits. These credits consist of (i) an aggregate of $273,741 in operational loans made by our principal shareholders to New Generation Motors to allow them to continue operations prior to August 2007, (ii) $101,804 in customer deposits that they retained though we were responsible for fulfilling such customer orders, and (iii) $29,068 in amounts we agreed to pay to New Generation Motors’s landlord for back rent.
 
The principal and interest on the loan is to be repaid, on a quarterly basis, until all amounts due thereon have been paid. The amount of each payment is equal to the greater of (i) $7,500 and (ii) the product obtained by multiplying our Gross Revenues (as defined) for the quarter by the applicable percentage rate. The applicable percentage rate increases by one percentage point per year beginning at 2% for 2007 increasing to 6% for 2011 and all subsequent years. The payment is first applied to the accrued interest on the loan and the remainder, if any, to the principal amount owed. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $75,000 has been paid (10 quarterly payments of $7,500 per quarter) and all of the payments have been applied to accrued interest. Accordingly, the principal balance of the loan has been $596,108 since August 2007.

(UNAUDITED)

In addition, if prior to July 13, 2014 we have paid this note in full, we are also required to pay until July 13, 2014, on a quarterly basis, the product obtained by multiplying 2.5% by the Gross Revenues in the applicable quarter. Gross Revenues is defined as (i) all fees and other revenue that NuGen Mobility receives from any source, (ii) the then-current fair market value of (x) the assets purchased from New Generation Motors, or (y) the business (as a going concern) or portion thereof sold or otherwise transferred to our affiliate, and (iii) the proceeds from the sale or other disposition by NuGen Mobility to any other third party of all or any portion of (x) the assets and/or (y) the business as a going concern. To date, we have not been required to make any such payments.
 
As part of this transaction, NuGen acquired a license agreement with an Indian manufacturer in which its technology is embedded in that manufacturer’s three-wheel Auto-Rickshaw. In connection with this contract, NuGen also agreed to assume the commitment, entered into by the Seller, for a conditional grant of $700,000 from an Indian export bank, which will be paid back through a 2% royalty on the license agreement until $1,400,000 is paid back. Additionally, the Indian export bank also provided a loan of $500,000 to the Seller. In connection with this asset purchase agreement, NuGen Mobility assumed this $500,000 loan on the condition that the loan would be converted to a conditional grant (similar to the $700,000 conditional grant). The Company reached such agreement with the Indian export bank but the Company and such bank never ratified such agreement. As of June 30, 2010 no payments are owed to the Indian export bank, as the Indian manufacturer is not actively marketing the product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated.
 
Lease Commitments

Rental expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $61,478 and $59,099 respectively.

Employment Agreements

During the quarter ending March 31, 2010, we entered into employment agreements with our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and our VP of Engineering and Programs (VP Engineering). The agreements, for the CEO, VP Engineering and CFO, provide for annual salaries, of $180,000, $160,000 and $120,000 respectively; signing bonuses of $30,000, $20,000 and $10,000 respectively; and, grants of options to purchase 900,000, 400,000 and 150,000 shares of our common stock, respectively. The shares subject to the options for the CEO and CFO have an exercise price of $0.45 per share and vest pro ratably in 24 equal monthly installments as of the last day of each month commencing January 1, 2010. The shares subject to the options for the VP Engineering are at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, which option may be exercised on a cashless basis and may be exercised until February 29, 2012. Generally, options to acquire 100,000 shares may be exercised on a cumulative basis during the two weeks preceding August 31, 2010, February 28, 2011, August 31, 2011, and February 29, 2012 subject to accelerated exercise upon a change in control as provided therein and the right to exercise his remaining option in the event of the termination of his employment.

As part of this transaction, NuGen acquired a license agreement with an Indian manufacturer in which its technology is embedded in that manufacturer’s three-wheel Auto-Rickshaw. In connection with this contract, NuGen also agreed to assume the commitment, entered into by the Seller, for a conditional grant of $700,000 from an Indian export bank, which is only required to be paid back once the Indian manufacturer begins paying the Company licensing fees. NuGen does not have a written assignment from the Indian export bank regarding its assumption of this commitment. NuGen will then be obligated to pay the Indian export bank a royalty received from the Indian manufacturer until $1,400,000 is repaid based on a schedule in the agreement. Since the dates provided for in the schedule to the agreement have passed, the agreement provides that if the actual sales deviate substantially, the royalty schedule will have to be changed. To date, the parties have not updated the schedule of royalty payments. Additionally, the Indian export bank also provided a loan of $500,000 to the Seller. In connection with this asset purchase agreement, NuGen assumed this $500,000 loan on the condition that the loan would be converted to a conditional grant (similar to the $700,000 conditional grant). In 2006, both the Seller and the Indian export bank agreed to convert this second  $500,000 loan to a conditional grant under the same terms and conditions as the previous agreement. However NuGen does not have a signed document indicating such agreement. Currently, no demand has been made to NuGen for payment; accordingly, it is not reflected as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet but rather it is included under “Commitments and Contingencies”. As of June 30, 2010 no payments are owed to the Indian export bank, as the Indian manufacturer is not actively marketing the product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated.

NOTE F – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Immediately prior to the Merger described in Note A, the Company redeemed shares of stock from certain of its pre-merger stockholders such that a total of 6,278,346 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding prior to the Merger.

In connection with the Merger an aggregate of 27,133,384 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) were issued to the shareholders of NuGen. Following the redemption of the shares, the two shareholders of NuGen owned approximately 81% of NuGen Holdings.

In connection with the Company’s private offering of its common stock, on January 29, 2010 and February 16, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,266,669 and 3,599,999, respectively, shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $0.15 per share for total cash proceeds of $1,480,000 and paid offering costs of $85,757. In addition the Company has issued 1,000,000 common shares to its placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company also issued warrants valued at $53,640, as a finder’s fee, exercisable until March 16, 2011, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, to acquire an aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock.

Conversion of debt to equity

In connection with the Merger, holders of an aggregate of $915,475 of outstanding indebtedness of NuGen converted their promissory notes (based on a recent cash offering price of $0.15 per share) into an aggregate of 6,103,166 shares of Common Stock (“Debt Conversion”). As the shares were valued at a recent cash offering price, no gain or loss was recorded on the conversion.

Contributed Capital

During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s CEO worked for the Company without compensation. Included in Compensation expense is $37,500 of contributed capital by the CEO. Management believes its estimate of the value of this contributed service is reasonable.
 
Valuation of Stock-Based Awards, Common Stock and Warrants
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We adopted the fair value method of accounting for our stock options granted to employees which requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value of the awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period which is generally two years.
 
We amortize the fair value of our stock-based compensation for equity awards granted on a straight-line basis, which we believe better reflects the level of service to be provided by our employees over the vesting period of the awards.

The fair value of each new employee option awarded was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions. 

Risk-free interest rate
   
2.2
%
Expected term (in years)
   
2
 
Expected volatility
   
82
%
Dividend yield
   
0
%
 
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires inputs such as the risk-free interest rate, expected term and expected volatility. Further, the forfeiture rate also affects the amount of aggregate compensation. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant judgment.
 
The risk-free interest rate that we use is based on the United States Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for zero coupon United States Treasury notes with maturities approximating each grant’s expected life. Given our limited history with employee grants, we use the “simplified” method in estimating the expected term for our employee grants. The “simplified” method, as permitted by the SEC, is calculated as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.
 
Our expected volatility is derived from the historical volatilities of several unrelated public companies within industries related to our business, including the automotive OEM and battery technology industries, because we have no trading history on our common stock. When making the selections of our peer companies within industries related to our business to be used in the volatility calculation, we also considered the stage of development, size and financial leverage of potential comparable companies. Our historical volatility is weighted based on certain qualitative factors and combined to produce a single volatility factor. We have not estimated our forfeiture rate as these are the first options granted by us after our merger in January 2010.

We account for stock options issued to nonemployees also based on their estimated fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. However, the fair value of the equity awards granted to nonemployees is re-measured as the awards vest, and the resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense during the period the related services are rendered.

Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $16,044 and $0, respectively.
 
Common Stock Valuation
 
We granted stock options with exercise prices equal or greater than the fair value of our common stock as determined at the date of grant by our Board of Directors. Because there has been no public market for our common stock, our Board of Directors has determined the fair value of our common stock by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including the following:

• arm’s length, third-party sales of our stock; and

Equity Awards

On February 9, 2010, pursuant to the 2010 Stock Option Plan, the Company granted options to acquire an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to several executive officers and employees. Subject to vesting, these options are exercisable during the ten years from the grant date at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. The options vest pro rata in 24 equal monthly installments as of the last day of each fiscal month, with the first installment vesting as of January 1, 2010. All of the options vest immediately upon a Change of Control Event. These options terminate immediately following the termination of such person’s employment with the Company for “Cause” (as defined in such employee’s employment agreement described above and other than Cause relating to the employee’s material uncured breach of his employment agreement in which case the options terminate in accordance with their stated term) and 180 days after such person voluntarily terminates his employment other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in such person’s employment agreement.

On February 11, 2010, the Company granted an option to acquire an aggregate of 400,000 shares of its common stock to an executive officer of the Company at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, which option may be exercised on a cashless basis and may be exercised until February 29, 2012. Generally, options to acquire 100,000 shares may be exercised on a cumulative basis during the two weeks preceding August 31, 2010, February 28, 2011, August 31, 2011, and February 29, 2012, subject to accelerated exercise upon a change in control and the right to exercise the remaining option in the event of the termination of employment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors of:
NuGen Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NuGen Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of NuGen Holdings, Inc. as September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, the Company has a negative cash flow from operations of $154,326, a working capital deficiency of $801,592 and a stockholders' deficiency of $1,387,970. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note B. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

NuGen Holdings, Inc. is engaged in the research, development and manufacture of permanent magnet electric motors and the electronic controls for such motors. Our revenue is derived primarily from contract research and development engineering services. Our technology relates to specialty electric drive engines and related components. This technology is currently being sold directly to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) pursuant to technical assistance agreements. The agreements generally provide for us to engineer our technology to run in various platforms (e.g. vehicles, electric generators and motors) and to be adapted to a customer’s particular application. We offer these services from our facility located in Virginia, to customers that require high-efficiency, reliable, compact permanent magnet electrical motor systems, controllers, vehicle interface modules (including energy storage, management and monitoring systems) and related software. Our technology is used primarily to convert electrical power into mechanical power so that mechanical power can be used to propel a vehicle or run a generator and may be used in markets ranging from electric/hybrid electric vehicles to materials handling equipment, distributive power, ground support equipment, motion control, and military systems.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

We extend unsecured credit to most of our customers following a review of the customers' financial condition and credit history. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a number of factors including the length of time accounts receivables are past due, the customer's ability to pay its obligation to us, the condition of the general economy, estimates of credit risk, historical trends and other information. Accounts receivable are deemed to be past due when they have not been paid by their contractual due date. We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible against our allowance for doubtful accounts. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.

Machinery and Equipment

Machinery and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 5 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $1,865 and $1,865, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
We periodically evaluate whether circumstances or events have affected the recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite useful lives. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or groups of assets from expected future cash flows estimated by management.
 
If expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized to adjust the asset to fair value as determined by expected discounted future cash flows.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

We currently generate revenue primarily from contract research and development services and may derive additional revenues in the future from the sale of our products to customers. We currently generate revenue primarily from contract research and development services and may derive additional revenues in the future from the sale of our products to customers. Our products are specialty electric drive engines and related components. These products are a direct result of the services to design and build each unit, which each are built to each customer’s specifications. We account for the products sold as one unit. We intend in the future to derive revenue from sales of products and will recognize the sale at the time title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer which is typically when products are shipped based on the terms of the customer purchase agreement. 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The valuation of deferred tax assets may be reduced if future realization is not assured.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Research and Development

Costs of researching and developing new technology, or significantly altering existing technology, are expensed as incurred.
 
Loss per Common Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by all outstanding and potentially dilutive shares during the periods presented, unless the effect is antidilutive.
 
Use of Estimates

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

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “Codification”) has become the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). All existing accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be authoritative. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC issued under the authority of federal securities laws, however, will continue to be the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles for SEC registrants. Effective September 30, 2009, all references made to GAAP in our consolidated financial statements will include references to the new Codification. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, will not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (VIE). FASB ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation," amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. FASB ASC 810 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE. Topic 810 is effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. This will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 - Transfers and Servicing. FASB ASC No. 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC No. 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC No. 860 will have on its financial statements.
 
NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
 
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $801,592, a stockholders’ deficit of $1,387,970, an accumulated deficit of $2,890,203 and negative cash flows from operations of $154,326 during the year ended September 30, 2009. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Pursuant to the Promissory Note dated as of August 23, 2007 the Company accrues interest on the loan at the rate of 6% per annum. Quarterly payments are made based on a formula that multiplies the Company’s gross revenues by 2% for calendar year 2007, 3% for calendar year 2008, 4% for calendar year 2009, 5% for calendar year 2010 and 6% for calendar year 2011 and for all subsequent years until the loan is paid in full. In all years the Company is required to pay a minimum of $7,500 per quarter and any payment made that exceeds the amount that would be due under the formula shall be treated as an advance against subsequent quarterly amounts due in excess of the $7,500 minimum payment.

As of September 2009 no payments of principal have been made as the Company’s quarterly revenues, multiplied by the appropriate percentage, have not exceeded the $7,500 minimum payment. An aggregate of $ 67,500 of payments have been made and have gone towards accrued interest only. Additionally, further revenue contingent payments may be owed, in the future (see Note G – Commitments and Contingencies – below).

Pursuant to the Promissory Notes dated as of July 13, 2007, the Company accrues interest on these loans at the rate of 10% per annum. As the Company has not made payments of principal that were due, the loans are in technical default. Accordingly, they are classified under the Current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s Balance Sheets.

Pursuant to the Promissory Note dated as of June 5, 2009, the Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of LIBOR plus 5% per annum (currently a total of 5.6%). As the note is due on demand, it is classified under the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s Balance Sheet.

The Company’s Chairman, CEO and President and his brother have loaned a total of $551,382 and $371,500 to the Company, respectively. The Company accrues interest on these loans at the rate of 10.2% per annum. As the Company has not made payments of principal that were due, the loans are in technical default. Accordingly, they are classified under the Current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s Balance Sheets. The Company’s Chairman, CEO and President has forgiven his debt as of September 30, 2009. (See note E – Related party transactions).

In November 2007, the Company purchased computer equipment and issued a four year note payable in the amount of $9,326. The Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of 18.45% per annum and makes monthly fixed payments of interest and principal.

In January 2008, the Company converted $35,650 of accounts payable, for advisory services and expenses, from a related party (see note E – Related party transactions) into a note payable. The Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of 1% per annum. As the note was due in September 2008, the loan is in technical default. Accordingly, it is classified under the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s Balance Sheets.

NOTE D - INCOME TAXES

The Company’s tax expense differs from the tax expense based on statutory rate for the period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34 percent to the loss before taxes), as follows:

As of September 30, 2009 we had net operating loss carry-forwards (NOL) of approximately $2,874,663 for U.S. income tax purposes that expire in varying amounts through 2029.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $1,091,222 and $968,798 at September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively, relates principally to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carry forwards in various tax jurisdictions. The Company continually assesses both positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets can be realized prior to their expiration. Based on the Company's assessment it has determined the deferred tax assets are not currently realizable.
 
NOTE E - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Forgiveness of debt

The Company’s Chairman, CEO and President agreed to forgive $1,346,693 of the notes and salary owed him by the Company, as of September 30, 2009. The debt has been reclassified to Paid in capital on the Company’s Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2009.

Related Parties

A significant shareholder of the Company is the brother of the Company’s Chairman, CEO and President. He loaned a total of $371,500 to the Company between August 2007 and September 2009 which is included in the Balance Sheet of the Company in Due to related parties at September 30, 2009.
 
In December 2006 the Company entered into an agreement with a firm to provide financial advisory services to the Company. The Company granted the firm 111 shares of its Common Stock per the terms of the agreement.
In January 2008 the Company terminated its agreement with the firm and converted the $35,650 it owed the firm into a note payable which is included in the Balance Sheet of the Company in Due to related parties at September 30, 2009.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In August 2007, our subsidiary, NuGen Mobility entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it acquired substantially all of the assets, and specified liabilities of New Generation Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The agreement requires the payment to New Generation Motors of $1,000,000 pursuant to a promissory note, which bears simple interest at the rate of six percent. The principal amount of this note was reduced to $596,108 by the application of $403,892 in credits. These credits consist of (i) an aggregate of $273,741 in operational loans made by our principal shareholders to New Generation Motors to allow them to continue operations prior to August 2007, (ii) $101,804 in customer deposits that they retained though we were responsible for fulfilling such customer orders, and (iii) $29,068 in amounts we agreed to pay to New Generation Motors’s landlord for back rent.

The principal and interest on the loan is to be repaid, on a quarterly basis, until all amounts due thereon have been paid. The amount of each payment is equal to the greater of (i) $7,500 and (ii) the product obtained by multiplying our Gross Revenues (as defined) for the quarter by the applicable percentage rate. The applicable percentage rate increases by one percentage point per year beginning at 2% for 2007 increasing to 6% for 2011 and all subsequent years. The payment is first applied to the accrued interest on the loan and the remainder, if any, to the principal amount owed. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $ 67,500 has been paid (nine quarterly payments of $7,500 per quarter) and all of the payments have been applied to accrued interest. Accordingly, the principal balance of the loan has been $596,108 since August 2007.

In addition, if prior to July 13, 2014 we have paid this note in full, we are also required to pay until July 13, 2014, on a quarterly basis, the product obtained by multiplying 2.5% by the Gross Revenues in the applicable quarter. Gross Revenues is defined as (i) all fees and other revenue that NuGen Mobility receives from any source, (ii) the then-current fair market value of (x) the assets purchased from New Generation Motors, or (y) the business (as a going concern) or portion thereof sold or otherwise transferred to our affiliate, and (iii) the proceeds from the sale or other disposition by NuGen Mobility to any other third party of all or any portion of (x) the assets and/or (y) the business as a going concern. To date, we have not been required to make any such payments.

As part of the asset purchase in 2007, the Company acquired a license agreement with an Indian manufacturer in which its technology is embedded in that manufacturer’s three-wheel Auto-Rickshaw. In connection with this contract, the Company also agreed to assume the commitment, entered into by the Seller, for a conditional grant of $700,000 from an Indian export bank, which will be paid back through a 2% royalty on the license agreement until $1,400,000 is paid back. Additionally, the Indian export bank also provided a loan of $500,000 to the Seller. In connection with this asset purchase agreement, NuGen Mobility assumed this $500,000 loan on the condition that the loan would be converted to a conditional grant (similar to the $700,000 conditional grant). The Company reached such agreement with ICICI but the Company and ICIC never ratified such agreement. As of September 30, 2009 no payments are owed to the Indian export bank, as the Indian manufacturer is not actively marketing the product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated.

Lease Commitments

Rental expense for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, was $79,744 and $70,603.

As part of this transaction, NuGen acquired a license agreement with an Indian manufacturer in which its technology is embedded in that manufacturer’s three-wheel Auto-Rickshaw. In connection with this contract, NuGen also agreed to assume the commitment, entered into by the Seller, for a conditional grant of $700,000 from an Indian export bank, which is only required to be paid back once the Indian manufacturer begins paying the Company licensing fees. NuGen does not have a written assignment from the Indian export bank regarding its assumption of this commitment. NuGen will then be obligated to pay the Indian export bank a royalty received from the Indian manufacturer until $1,400,000 is repaid based on a schedule in the agreement. Since the dates provided for in the schedule to the agreement have passed, the agreement provides that if the actual sales deviate substantially, the royalty schedule will have to be changed. To date, the parties have not updated the schedule of royalty payments. Additionally, the Indian export bank also provided a loan of $500,000 to the Seller. In connection with this asset purchase agreement, NuGen assumed this $500,000 loan on the condition that the loan would be converted to a conditional grant (similar to the $700,000 conditional grant). In 2006, both the Seller and the Indian export bank agreed to convert this second  $500,000 loan to a conditional grant under the same terms and conditions as the previous agreement. However NuGen does not have a signed document indicating such agreement. Currently, no demand has been made to NuGen for payment; accordingly, it is not reflected as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet but rather it is included under “Commitments and Contingencies”. As of September 30, 2009 no payments are owed to the Indian export bank, as the Indian manufacturer is not actively marketing the product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated.

NOTE H - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Private placement and reverse merger

In November, 2009, the NuGen Mobility Inc. and NuGen Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation based in Houston, Texas (“NuGen Holdings”), entered into a letter of intent relating to the NuGen Holdings’ proposed acquisition of NuGen Holding for approximately 80% of the capital stock of NuGen Holdings on a fully-diluted basis (the “Consideration”). Consummation of the contemplated transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive share exchange agreement or merger agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”), setting forth the specific terms and conditions of the transaction. The execution of the Definitive Agreement is subject to the consummation by NuGen Holdings of a private placement of no less than $1,000,000, approval by the Board of Directors of both NuGen Mobility and NuGen Holdings, approval by the shareholders of NuGen Mobility and the completion by NuGen Holdings of a satisfactory review of the legal, financial and business condition of NuGen Mobility, including the receipt of NuGen Holdings’ financial statements audited in accordance with applicable SEC rules. NuGen Mobility, Inc. and NuGen Holdings are obligated to use their reasonable best efforts to negotiate in good faith the Definitive Agreement, which will contain, among other standard terms and conditions, representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other provisions customary in transactions of this nature, including without limitation, representations and warranties as to the condition of the title held to the assets of NuGen Mobility, the financial statements of NuGen Holdings, the payment of taxes and contingent liabilities. Any necessary third-party consents shall be obtained prior to consummation of the Transaction, including but not limited to any consents required to be obtained from NuGen Mobility lenders, creditors, vendors and lessors. As of the date of this report, the transaction has not closed.
 
Conversion of debt to equity

Concurrent with the private placement, the holders of approximately $750,000 of debt in the Company have agreed to exchange their debt for shares of stock based upon the $0.15 share price offered in the private placement. Included in this total is $371,500 of debt held by the brother of the Company’s Chairman, President and CEO.

Item 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.
 
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, such as our company, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.

We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the DGCL would permit indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

On January 29, 2010, pursuant to the Merger, each share of NuGen’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into the right to receive one share of InovaChem’s common stock. An aggregate of 27,133,384 shares of Common Stock were issued to the two holders of NuGen’s common stock, Eric Takamura and Ronald Takamura. The securities were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act.

In connection with the Merger, 4 holders of an aggregate of $846,475 of outstanding indebtedness of NuGen converted their promissory notes (based on a $0.15 per share conversion price) into an aggregate of 5,636,499 shares of Common Stock (“Debt Conversion”). Simultaneous with the closing of the Merger, 15,236,667 shares of Common Stock were redeemed by InovaChem for a cash payment of $152. The securities were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act.

On January 29, 2010, and in connection with the Merger we accepted subscriptions (the “Private Placement”) from 29 investors to purchase a total of 6,733,336 shares at a purchase price of $0.15 per share, or gross proceeds of $1,010,000. On February 11, 2010, we closed on the Private Placement and accepted subscriptions from an additional thirteen investors for a total of 3,599,999 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share, or gross proceeds of $540,000. Each investor in this offering had the right to purchase an option from Eric Takamura, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and a director, to purchase 50,000 shares of his common stock for an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The purchase price of this option was $250, and as of March 4, 2010 an aggregate of 33 investors purchased this option from Mr. Takamura for an aggregate of 2,595,000 shares. We also entered into an agreement with a representative of eleven of these accredited investors confirming that such investors have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum of $700,000 of our Class A Preferred Stock at a price of $0.15 per share and issued to this representative warrants to acquire 360,000 shares of our common stock exercisable until March 2011 at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.

This offering was made solely to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. The securities sold in this offering were not registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
 
 In connection with the Private Placement, we issued Martinez-Ayme Securities (“Martinez”), the placement agent, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act.

In July 2008, we sold a total of 1,423,346 shares of our common stock to an aggregate of 46 people pursuant to our private securities offering, at a price of $.30 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $426,999. Such issuance were exempt was exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to, among other things, Section 4(2) thereunder.

In June 2008, we issued an aggregate of 925,000 shares of common stock to the following officers and directors on the following dates for services provided to us:   300,000 shares to William Zuo, a former officer, on June 28, 2008, 150,000 shares to Henry Toh, an officer on June 28, 2008, 100,000 shares to Shao Jun Xu, a former officer, on June 28, 2008, 100,000 shares to Xiaojing Li on June 28, 2008, 100,000 shares to Alan Pritzker, our CFO, on June 28, 2008, 75,000 shares to Peter Michaels, a former director, on June 30, 2008, 50,000 shares to Michael Kleinman, a director, on June 30, 2008-08 and 50,000 shares to Robyn Kravit, a former director, on June 30, 2008. Such issuances were exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to, among other things, Section 4(2) thereunder.
In June 2008, in connection with our acquisition of Trinterprise, LLC pursuant to a reverse subsidiary merger, we issued an aggregate of 16,666,667shares of our common stock to the five members of Trinterprise. Such issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to, among other things, Section 4(2) thereunder.
 
On February 11, 2008, Exchequer, Inc. purchased all of the 100,000 outstanding shares of our common stock from our original sole stockholder. We were then renamed InovaChem, Inc. Following the purchase, we declared a stock dividend of 8.7 shares for every share of our common stock issued and outstanding, for an aggregate dividend issuance of 870,000 shares of common stock to Exchequer, Inc.. Contemporaneously therewith, we issued 1,530,000 shares of common stock to five investors for an aggregate of $153,000., which issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to, among other things, Section 4(2) thereunder.

On or about September 27, 2007, we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock to Sheila Hunter for $100. Such transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to, among other things, Section 4(2) thereunder.

Item 17. Undertakings
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any propectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 
42

 

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7 as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

 (ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant 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. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
