Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2012
(Unaudited)
 
1.  UNAUDITED INFORMATION

The consolidated balance sheet of Leo Motors Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2012, and the consolidated statements of operations  and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, have not been audited.  However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to properly reflect the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2012, and the results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for an entire year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes to financial statements included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
NOTE 2 - BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company Business

Company is currently in development, assembly and sales of the specialized electric vehicle.

Background
 
Leo Motors, Inc, Inc (the "Company") was originally incorporated as Classic Auto Accessories, a California Corporation on July 2, 1986.  The Company then underwent several name changes from FCR  Automotive Group, Inc. to Shini Precision Machinery, Inc. to Simco  America Inc. and then to Leo Motors. The Company had been dormant since 1989, and effectuated a reverse merger on November 12, 2007 with Leozone Inc., a South Korean Company, which is the maker of electrical transportation devices. The merger essentially exchanges shares in Leo Motors, Inc. for shares in Leozone.  As this is a reverse merger the accounting treatment of such is that of a combination of the two entities with the activity of Leozone, Inc. the surviving entity, going forward. The financial statements reflect the activity for all periods presented as if the merger had occurred January 1, 2007.

On February 11, 2010, the Company acquired 50% of Leo B&T Corp.,(“B&T”) a Korean Corporation, from two shareholders of B&T in exchange for 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
NOTE 3 -   SUMMAY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These financial statements and related notes are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Leo Motors  Co. Ltd. Korea where the Company is controlling shareholders with 57.69 % at the end of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Revenue Recognition

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

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

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

Accounts Receivables

Accounts  receivables of the Company are reviewed to determine if their carrying value  has  become  impaired.

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

Receivables  are  not  collateralized  and do not bear interest.
 
Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalent.
 
 
7

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

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

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

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

Loss per Share

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

SFAS  No.  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,"  establishes  and encourages  the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation  arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as of the date of grant and is recognized  over  the  periods  in which the related services are rendered.  For stock  based  compensation  the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with SFAS  No.  123  and  values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security  on  the  date  of  grant.  Stock  option  awards  are valued using the Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model.
 
 
8

 
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Impact of New Accounting Standards
 
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.
 
NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic  earnings  per share are calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.
 
NOTE 5 - DUE TO RELATED PARTY

The company is indebted to its officer for advances. Repayment is on demand without interest. The balance at March 31, 2012 was $ 1,434,583.
 
NOTE 6 - PAYMENTS RECEIVED IN ADVANCE

The Company during the periods received payments from potential customers, or deposits, on future orders. The Company's policy is to record these payments as a liability until the product is completed and shipped to the customer at which the Company recognizes revenue. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the balance of payments received in advance was $ 86,766 and $ 561,321, respectively.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Overview

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

These Company’s products include (a) Zinc Air Fuel Battery (“ZAFC”); (b) electric vehicles ("EV") such as cars, trucks, tractors and other commercial/military vehicles; (c) E-Bike or electric scooters; (d) EV components that integrate electric batteries with electric motors such as EV Controllers that use a mini-computer to control torque drive; and the (e) E-Box which is a electric energy storage system for solar and wind power generation devices.

Leo Motors, Inc. (the "Company") is currently in the process of development and production of Electric Power Train Systems (“EPTS”) encompassing electric scooters, electric sedans/SUVs/sports cars, and electric buses/trucks as well as several models of Electric Vehicle ("EV"). Our EPTS can replace internal combustion engines (“ICEs”).  We have begun sales of our EPTS to auto makers and agricultural machinery manufacturers.

During the last two years, we have been developing eight EPTS of increasing power rating: 3kW, 5kW, 7.5kW, 15kW, 30kW, 60kW, 120kW, and 240kW systems.  Each EPTS consists of a motor, a controller, and a battery power pack with a battery management system (“BMS”).

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

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

·  
Market e-Boxes in USA, Japan and Australia

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

Recent Business Developments

In the last six months, the Company has focused its marketing and sales efforts on the E-Box.  The E-Box is a electric power storage box ranging from 3kW to 50kW for use in homes.  This project took on additional importance to the Company because of the unprecedented natural disaster in Japan.  Leo is marketing the device in the US and Japan.  A recent sales order from a company in the USA in the third quarter of 2011 requires us to demonstrate “proof of concept”.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the "Certifying Officer") maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management timely. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, the Certifying Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule [13a-14(c)/15d-14(c)] under the Exchange Act) within 45 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting them to material information relative to our company required to be disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS

During the Quarter ended March 30, 2012, there were no changes made to our internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to affect the reliability of those controls, or the accuracy of our financial reporting.
