These assumptions are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation” and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our financial condition, factors that affect our industry, market and customer acceptance, changes in technology, fluctuations in our quarterly results, our ability to continue and manage our growth, liquidity and other capital resource issues, competition, fulfillment of contractual obligations by other parties and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, except as required by law.

Turbine Truck Engines, Inc.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
 
 
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011,
and the Period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception)
through September 30, 2012 (unaudited)
1. Background Information
 
Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. (the “Company”) is a development stage enterprise that was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 27, 2000, and converted to a Nevada corporation in 2008.  To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to raising capital, organizational matters, and the structuring of its business plan. The corporate headquarters is located in Paisley, Florida.

The Company’s planned lines of business are the design, development, and testing of turbine truck engine technology licensed through Alpha Engines Corporation (“Alpha”). Alpha owns the patents to a new gas turbine engine system called Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine. If the Company can successfully demonstrate a highway truck engine using the technology, the Company intends to form a joint venture with a major heavy duty highway truck manufacturer to manufacture, market, and sell turbine truck engines for use in heavy duty highway trucks throughout the United States.

Effective July 12, 2012, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, to reflect the Board of Directors adoption of a resolution, consented to by those holding a majority of the common shareholder votes, which increased the authorized common stock of the company to 299,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $.001.

2. Financial Statements
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2012, (b) the financial position at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and (c) cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2012, have been made.

The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.

3. Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and since November 27, 2000 (date of inception) through September 30, 2012, the Company has had a net loss of $198,900, $995,004 and $17,366,162, respectively. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

4. Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company leased its corporate headquarters on a month-to-month basis. For the nine months ended September 2012 and 2011, rent expense was approximately $18,750 and $12,500, respectively.

The Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hydrogen Union Energy Co., Ltd. (“HUE”) for the purpose of the joint development of the hydrogen generator. Under the terms of the Agreement, HUE will provide hydrogen generators at cost to the Company for demonstration purposes. Once the Company purchases the first H2 generator and pays 90% of the purchase price, the Company will be given first refusal to act as agent for any future business relating to hydrogen generators with HUE’s technology in North America. The Company was to pay the cost of production of a 200 cubic meter H2 generator at 10,000,000 TWD ($338,000 USD as of September 30, 2012) for up to two machines. As previously disclosed, the Company is continuing negotiations with payment terms and accordingly no equipment has been received and no liability has been recorded as of September 30, 2012. At period end the Company was in negotiations with HUE’s parent corporation Energy Technology Services Co., Ltd. (“ETS”) and all agreements with ETS may potentially impact or supersede the agreement with HUE.

On January 12, 2012, the Company entered into an “Investment Intent” agreement with Energy Technology Services Company, Ltd. Pursuant to the agreement, both parties agreed to form a company, Global Hydrogen Energy (“GHE”). The Company has the option to purchase ten percent of the shares of GHE for $450,000, and another option to purchase up to 20% of all shares of GHE. As of September 30, 2012, GHE has not been formed, and the Company has made a good faith cash deposit of $197,500, which is included as a non-current asset at September 30, 2012. The Company does not have a firm commitment to fund the remaining option amount, and accordingly, a commitment liability was not recorded as of September 30, 2012 related to this agreement.

The Company (“TTE”) entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated July 11, 2012 with Energy Technology Services Co Ltd (“ETS”) for the purpose of the engaging both parties in the manufacture, leasing and /or sale of ETS’s hydrogen generator burning systems (the “Equipment”) in Asia.

6. Earnings per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered antidilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2012, the Company had 5,405,413, 4,555,413 and 5,405,413 potentially dilutive common stock options and warrants, respectively, which were not included in the computation of loss per share. Additionally, four convertible notes with face amounts totaling $160,000 can convert into approximately 7,779,349 shares of common stock at September 30, 2012.

7. Common stock for services
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 2,150,000 shares of common stock to consultants and employees for various services. The Company recorded the stock issuances for services based on the fair value of the common stock at the respective commitment dates, and amortized the grant-date fair value of the shares over the estimated requisite service period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized approximately $77,000 and $534,000 and $245,000 and $835,000 in compensation expense related to these issuances, respectively.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2012, included in common stock payable, are commitments to issue 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The amortization expense related to these commitments are included in the above compensation expense.

8. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
 
On March 16, 2012, the Company created the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A”). The Series A has the following features:
 
Par value is $.001.
 
1,000,000 shares authorized.
 
Voting rights on each matter submitted to common shareholders; 306 votes per each share of preferred stock held.

9. Derivative liability
 
In November 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $42,500. The note pays interest at 8% per annum, and principal and accrued interest is due on the maturity date of August 9, 2012. The conversion option price associated with the note has a 41 percent discount to the market price of the stock. The market price is based on the average of the three lowest trading prices during a ten day period prior to conversion. The note is convertible at any time. As a result of the variable feature associated with the conversion option, pursuant to ASC Topic 815, the Company bifurcated the conversion option, and utilized the black Scholes model to determine the fair value of the conversion option. At the issuance date, the Company recorded a debt discount and derivative liability of approximately$42,000 and $49,000, respectively. The debt discount was amortized over the life of the note, and the Company recognized approximately $34,000 of interest expense related to amortization during 2012. As of September 30, 2012 the discount related to the note was fully amortized. In June 2012, the convertible note converted into approximately 1,326,000 shares of common stock. At the conversion date, the amortized discount was fully recognized as interest expense. The derivative liability has been adjusted to fair value each reporting period, including the conversion date, with unrealized gain (loss) reflected in other income and expense.

In April 2012, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $42,500. The note pays interest at 8% per annum, and principal and accrued interest is due on the maturity date of January 18, 2013. The conversion option price associated with the note has a 41 percent discount to the market price of the stock. The market price is based on the average of the three lowest trading prices during a ten day period prior to conversion. The note is convertible at any time. As a result of the variable feature associated with the conversion option, pursuant to ASC Topic 815, the Company bifurcated the conversion option, and utilized the black Scholes model to determine the fair value of the conversion option. At the issuance date, the Company recorded a debt discount and derivative liability of approximately$42,000 and $62,000, respectively. The debt discount will be amortized over the life of the note, and the Company recognized approximately $25,600 of interest expense related to amortization during 2012. The derivative liability has been adjusted to fair value each reporting period with unrealized gain (loss) reflected in other income and expense.

In July 2012, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $42,500. The note pays interest at 8% per annum, and principal and accrued interest is due on the maturity date of January 18, 2013. The conversion option price associated with the note has a 41 percent discount to the market price of the stock. The market price is based on the average of the three lowest trading prices during a ten day period prior to conversion. The note is convertible at any time. As a result of the variable feature associated with the conversion option, pursuant to ASC Topic 815, the Company bifurcated the conversion option, and utilized the black Scholes model to determine the fair value of the conversion option. At the issuance date, the Company recorded a debt discount and derivative liability of approximately$42,500 and $48,000, respectively. The debt discount will be amortized over the life of the note, and the Company recognized approximately $12,700 of interest expense related to amortization during 2012. The derivative liability has been adjusted to fair value each reporting period with unrealized gain (loss) reflected in other income and expense.

On April 24 2012 (the “Closing date”), the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $278,000. The lender funded $75,000 to the Company, and the lender at their discretion may fund additional amounts to the Company. The note matures one year from the closing date. If the Company pays the note within 90 days of the closing date, the interest rate is 0%. If the note is not paid within 90 days of the closing date, a one-time interest charge of 5% will be applied to the unpaid principal amount. The conversion option price associated with the note is the lesser of $0.10 or 70% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days previous to any conversion. The note is convertible at any time. As a result of the variable feature associated with the conversion option, pursuant to ASC Topic 815, the Company bifurcated the conversion option, and utilized the black Scholes model to determine the fair value of the conversion option. At the issuance date, the Company recorded a debt discount and derivative liability of approximately$75,000 and $100,000, respectively. The debt discount will be amortized over the life of the note, and the Company recognized approximately $27,800 of interest expense related to amortization during 2012. The derivative liability has been adjusted to fair value each reporting period with unrealized gain (loss) reflected in other income and expense.

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 1 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2012 or 2011.
 
The Company’s derivative liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value the derivative liabilities utilizing observable inputs such as the Company’s common stock price, the exercise price of the warrants, and expected volatility, which is based on historical volatility. The Black-Scholes model employs the market approach in determining fair value.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements including information about possible or assumed results of our financial conditions, operations, plans, objectives and performance that involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY
 
We are a development-stage company and not yet generating any revenues. We expect to continue the commercialization of our Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (“DCGT”) technology. The licensor of the acquired technology has passed the research and development phase and has designed a working prototype. We need to redesign an engine for our application based on this proven Core Technology. We are relying on AbM Engineering in collaboration with AMEC to design, construct and test a 540 horsepower engine prototype for our licensed application.

The financing for our development activities to date has come from the sale of common stock. We intend to finance our future development activities and working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with additional funding from a private placement or secondary offering of up to $10 million and other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

Since we have had a limited history of operations, we anticipate that our quarterly results of operations will fluctuate significantly for the foreseeable future. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly companies commercializing new and evolving technologies such as the DCGT. In July 2002, we acquired the license for the DCGT technology for the manufacture and marketing of heavy-duty highway truck engine.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011

Operating Costs – During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, operating costs totaled $168,118 and $501,402, respectively. The decrease of $333,284 was mainly attributable to decreases in payroll expenses related to reduction of executive salaries pursuant to employment agreements, a reduction of stock compensation related to vested common stock issued pursuant to the above employment agreements and a reduction in royalty expense associated with the debt settlement agreement discussed in Note 5. These decreases were offset by an increase in consulting expenses related to common stock issued to consultants for various services.
 
 
10

 
 
Interest (Income) Expense - Net - During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net interest expense totaled $50,310 and $0, respectively. The increase of $50,310 was primarily due to the Company amortizing the discount on convertible debt issued in the fourth quarter of 2011 and during 2012.

The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $198,900 and $501,402, respectively. The decrease of $302,502 was mainly attributable to the decrease in operating expenses offset by an increase in interest expense.

The trend in our operating expenses will depend on our ability to raise capital and fund our operations. We do expect the trend in consulting expenses to increase as we issue additional stock in-lieu of cash to fund operations. Salary expense should remain stable with employment agreements in place for our executives. Royalty expense will continue to decrease relative to comparable periods as a result of the debt settlement agreement discussed above.  Other income and expense could fluctuate significantly due to the increase or decrease in the market value of the derivative liability.  The change in value is driven by changes in the Company’s stock price.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011

Research and Development Costs – During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, research and development costs totaled $0 and $103,432, respectively. The decrease of $103,432 was mainly attributable to additional costs incurred for the testing of the DCGT engine in 2011.

Operating Costs – During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, operating costs totaled $927,066 and $1,710,529, respectively. The decrease of $783,463 was mainly attributable to decreases in payroll expense, stock compensation, amortization expense, professional fees, and royalty expense, offset by an increase in consulting expenses.

Interest (Income) Expense - Net - During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net interest expense totaled $103,264 and $6,988, respectively. The increase of $96,276 was primarily due to the Company amortizing the discount on convertible debt to interest expense during 2012, as discussed above.

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $995,004 and $1,820,949, respectively. The decrease of $825,945 was mainly attributable to the decrease in operating expenses, and research and development expense, offset by increases in interest expense.

The trend in our operating expenses will depend on our ability to raise capital and fund our operations. We do expect the trend in consulting expenses to increase as we issue additional stock in-lieu of cash to fund operations. Salary expense should remain stable with employment agreements in place for our executives.

Liquidity and capital resources

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and since November 27, 2000 (date of inception) through September 30, 2012, the Company has had net losses of $198,900, $995,004 and $17,366,162, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital or begin operations to achieve a level of profitability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

As previously mentioned, since inception, we have financed our operations largely from the sale of common stock. From inception through September 30, 2012 we raised cash of approximately $4,057,000 net of issuance costs, through private placements of common stock financings and approximately $1,055,000 through the issuance of convertible notes payable.
 
 
11

 
 
Additionally, we have raised net proceeds from stockholder advances of approximately $111,000.

Since our inception through September 30, 2012 we have incurred $3,882,494 of research and development costs. These expenses were principally related to the acquisition of a license agreement in July 2002 in the amount of $2,735,649, which was expensed to research and development costs for the DCGT technology and general and administrative expenses.

We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $17,366,162 and working capital deficit of ($155,378).

We anticipate that cash used in product development and operations, especially in the marketing, production and sale of our products, will increase significantly in the future. However, product development will be contingent upon our ability to raise capital as needed.

We will be dependent upon our existing cash, together with anticipated net proceeds from a public offering and future debt issuances and private placements of common stock and potential license fees, to finance our planned operations through the next 12 months. We will continue to proceed in the design and testing phase of the DCGT engine during the next 12 months and will require additional funding to continue operations. Based on our anticipated growth, we plan to add several employees to our staff.

Additional capital may not be available when required or on favorable terms. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to significantly reduce or refocus our operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain or potential markets, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in ownership dilution to our existing stockholders.

The Company may receive proceeds in the future from the exercise of warrants and options outstanding as of September 30, 2012 in accordance with the following schedule:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
 
 
12

 
 
We account for stock option grants in accordance with US GAAP. Stock-based compensation cost recognized during the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on their relative grant date fair values estimated in accordance with US GAAP. The Company recognizes compensation expenses on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Determination of the fair values of stock option grants at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected term of the relevant grants and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock. Additionally, management must estimate the amount of stock option grants that are expected to be forfeited. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the options are expected outstanding and is based on historical experience of similar grants, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the grants, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The expected volatility is based upon our historical market price at consistent points in a period equal to the expected life of the options. Expected forfeitures are based on historical experience and expectations of future employee behavior.

We issue convertible debentures with features that are derivative liabilities. We follow the guidance pursuant to ASC Topic 815, which requires judgment in terms of bifurcating embedded features from the host contract. Additional judgment is required in terms of valuing the embedded features.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Other recent accounting standards issued by the FASB (including EIFTs), the AICPA and the Securities and Exchange Commission did and are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 
Not applicable.

 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of and for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The controls were determined to be ineffective due to the lack of segregation of duties. Currently, management contracts with an outside CPA to perform the duties of the Chief Financial Officer and Principle Accounting Officer and an outside consultant to assist with the preparation of the filings. However, until the Company has received additional funding, they are unable to remediate the weakness.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


 
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, neither we nor any of our officers or directors is involved in any litigation either as plaintiffs or defendants. As of this date, there is not any threatened or pending litigation against us or any of our officers or directors.

 
None.
