ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
 
Poly Shield was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 2, 2000, under the original name “411 Place.com Inc”. On February 28, 2001, the Company changed its name to “Artescope, Inc.” On July 29, 2002, the Company changed its name to “GlobeTrac Inc.” and on July 11, 2012, to "Poly Shield Technologies Inc."

On July 11, 2012, the Company effected a consolidation of the issued and outstanding common stock on a one-for-three basis (the “Reverse Split”), without decreasing the authorized capital. Upon completion of the Reverse Split,  Poly Shield had an authorized capital of 205,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with 33,394,441 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

From 2002 until 2004, Poly Shield sold, marketed, distributed and installed global wireless tracking and telematics equipment in Europe under a distribution agreement with WebTech Wireless Inc. (“WebTech”).  In 2004 Poly Shield exchanged its distribution rights with Web Tech, together with other specific assets and liabilities for a 6% royalty on gross sales made by WebTech to qualified potential customers of Poly Shield. Pursuant to the agreement, the royalties have no cap and are payable for 11 years beginning November 1, 2004.  From 2004 until 2012, Poly Shield’s primary business consisted of maintaining and monitoring its royalty rights with WebTech, and collecting and increasing (through the development of qualified potential customers) revenue from the royalty with WebTech.  In addition, during this time Poly Shield actively sought out additional business opportunities.

Acquisition of Rights to Teak Shield Fluoropolymer Products

On March 12, 2012, we entered into a license agreement with an option to purchase (the “Teak Shield Agreement”) with Teak Shield Corp. (“Teak Shield”) and its owners, Robert and Marion Diefendorf (Teak Shield and the Diefendorfs collectively being the “Teak Shield Licensors”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Teak Shield Agreement, we acquired a worldwide license to market and sell Teak Shield’s specialized fluoropolymer products (the “Fluoropolymer Products”).  A description of the Teak Shield License is provided below.

Appointment of Rasmus Norling and Acquisition of Bio Scrubber and Exhaust Scrubber Rights

On December 6, 2012, we entered into an employment agreement (the “Norling Agreement”) dated December 1, 2012, with Rasmus Norling, pursuant to which we agreed to appoint Mr. Norling as our Chief Executive Officer, contingent upon Mr. Norling delivering to us minimum rights (the “Minimum Technology Rights”) to the Bio Scrubber and the Exhaust Scrubber emission abatement technologies described below.  A detailed description of the consideration payable to Mr. Norling under the terms of the Norling Agreement is provided under Item 11 of this Form 10-K regarding Executive Compensation.

On January 12, 2013, Mr. Norling assigned to us US and European patent applications for the Bio Scrubber, a system designed to remove alkali metals from fuel in order to protect gas turbine engines from high temperature corrosion. No additional consideration was paid to Mr. Norling for the assignment of these patent applications.

On January 31, 2013, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Ecolutions, Inc. (the “Ecolutions”), a company wholly owned by Mr. Norling.  To acquire Ecolutions, we paid Mr. Norling $53,000 through the issuance of 100,000 shares of our common stock.  As a result of acquiring Ecolutions, we also acquired all of Ecolution's rights under a Collaboration Agreement, Master Distributor Agreement, and License Agreement (collectively, the “GTM Contracts”) between Ecolutions and Green Tech Marine AS, a Norwegian corporation (“Green Tech Marine”), for the Exhaust Scrubber, a proprietary exhaust gas scrubber technology developed by Green Tech Marine.

As a result of the acquisition of Ecolutions (including its rights under the GTM Contracts) and the prior assignment of the Bio Scrubber patent applications, on February 5, 2013, we agreed that Mr. Norling had satisfied his obligation to deliver the Minimum Technology Rights and the Norling Agreement became effective.  As a result, on February 6, 2013, we appointed Mr. Norling as our Chief Executive Officer and President, and also appointed Mr. Norling to our Board of Directors.  Mitchell R. Miller, our previous Chief Executive Officer and President, resigned from those positions voluntarily, and remains a member of our Board of Directors.

Under the terms of the Norling Agreement, upon his appointment as our Chief Executive Officer and President, we  issued to Mr. Norling 154,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Custodial Stock”).  The Custodial Stock is being held by Poly Shield and may not be sold, transferred, pledged or assigned, and is subject to forfeiture, pending Mr. Norling satisfying certain performance incentives.  However, pending forfeiture or release of the Custodial Stock, Mr. Norling is entitled to all other rights and privileges as a shareholder, including the right to vote the Custodial Stock.  As a result, upon the issuance of the Custodial Stock to Mr. Norling, he had voting power over 82% of our outstanding common stock, resulting in a change in control of Poly Shield.  A detailed description of the terms of release or forfeiture of the Custodial Stock is provided under Item 11 of this Form 10-K regarding Executive Compensation.
 
Neither Poly Shield nor its subsidiary, Ecolutions, have been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings. Except as described above, there have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, purchases or sales of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of Poly Shield’s business during the past three fiscal years.

BUSINESS OF POLY SHIELD
 
As a result of acquiring rights to the Teak Shield fluoropolymer products, the Bio Scrubber technology and the Exhaust Scrubber, we have shifted our efforts into marketing of cost effective, energy efficient and durability solutions in various industries worldwide. Our main efforts are directed toward marketing the Exhaust Scrubbers to various divisions of the marine industry, such as cruise, cargo, tanker and navy ships. The fluoropolymer (Teak Shield) products complement our Exhaust and Bio Scrubbers, as one of the main usages for these products is also in marine industry.

Exhaust Scrubber Overview

Under the terms of our Collaboration, Master Distributorship and License Agreements with Green Tech Marine, we act as the exclusive distributor for the Exhaust Scrubber in North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico) and Singapore, and a non-exclusive distributor for the Exhaust Scrubber for the rest of the world.
 
The main purpose of the Exhaust Scrubber is to remove sulfur oxides and other particulate matter from exhaust gas produced by ships during normal operations to comply with current and upcoming International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) emissions regulations.  Under the regulations, instead of using low-sulfur fuel to limit sulfur oxide emissions, a ship can use an alternative means of achieving the same level of sulfur oxide emissions, as long as this alternative means is certified as compliant by the ship’s flag state.  Our Exhaust Scrubber is the only exhaust gas treatment system in the world that is certified as compliant for large gas turbine engines. Thus, ships can continue to use cheaper heavy fuel oil instead of higher-priced low-sulfur fuel and be in compliance with IMO regulations.  Our Exhaust Scrubber can be easily installed on any ship and it replaces a ship’s exhaust silencer without any need for structural modifications.
 
Additional benefits of this system are:

 
·
Runs only on seawater
 
·
With addition of magnesium can be used to remove nitrogen oxides
 
·
Can be operated in the open and closed loop
 
·
Small environmental footprint
 
·
Low weight minimizes any possible changes in stability of a ship
 
·
Energy efficient

A market for emission abatement technologies in the marine industry has emerged due to the introduction of more stringent regulations proposed by IMO in 2008, which came in force on July 1, 2010. These regulations govern sulfur and nitrogen emission levels in Emissions Control Areas (“ECA”). Currently there are two ECA’s in effect: a European ECA and a North-American ECA.   In each ECA, sulfur limits in fuel are now limited to 1.0% by mass and will drop to 0.1% by mass on January 1, 2015.

With these regulations in place, there are three different compliance options:

 
·
Switch to low-sulfur fuel: results in significantly increased operation costs due to the high cost of low-sulfur fuel;
 
·
Convert engines to run on liquefied natural gas: hampered by the lack of currently available infrastructure of delivering this type of fuel as well as high costs of building the ships that run on this type of fuel;
 
·
Install exhaust gas scrubbers: allows the use of regular heavy fuel oil keeping down operating costs.

The majority of the exhaust scrubbers currently available on the market are cost ineffective due to the amount of space they require on the ship. Caustic Soda (“NaOH”), which is used in these exhaust scrubbers to control Ph and to neutralize Sulfur Oxide, adds significant cost as well as risk factors to the operations of those types of scrubbers.  Additional risks result from the weight of these technologies affecting stability of a ship. Currently no other exhaust scrubber on the market has been certified as compliant, as required by Marine Environment Protection Committee, Resolution MEPC 184 (59) Annex 9.

Bio Scrubber Overview

The Bio Scrubber is a patent pending system designed to significantly reduce the maintenance cost and premature failure of gas turbine engines by removing alkali metals that are usually present in fuel.
 
Salt, calcium and other alkali metal substances in the fuel stock result in the high temperature corrosion and premature failure in gas turbine engine components. During combustion in the gas turbine, sodium from the fuel creates high temperature corrosion of the hot-section components of the gas turbine, such as nozzle, guide vanes and rotor blades, resulting in accelerated oxidation. In some cases this accelerated oxidation can reduce the operational life of a gas turbine by more than 50%.
 
By removing alkali metals from the fuel, the Bio Scrubber not only prolongs life of the gas turbine engines, it also significantly reduces operating and maintenance costs.
 
We acquired our patent application rights to the Bio Scrubber technology directly from our Chief Executive Officer and President, Rasmus Norling.
 
Fluoropolymer Products Overview

Under the terms of our license agreement (the “Teak Shield Agreement”) with Teak Shield Corp. and its owners, Robert and Marion Diefendorf (Teak Shield and the Diefendorfs collectively being the “Teak Shield Licensors”), we act as a worldwide distributor of the fluoropolymer coatings developed by Teak Shield.

Fluoropolymers are polymer materials containing fluorine atoms in their chemical structure. The unique electronic structure of the fluorine atom gives our coatings such excellent properties as outstanding chemical resistance, weather stability, low surface energy and extreme flexibility.

In addition, the fluoropolymers have the following properties:

• Chemically inert
• Non-wetting
• Low coefficient of friction
• Low dielectric constant
• Nontoxic
• Non-stick
• Highly fire resistant
• High temperature ratings

This unrivalled combination of properties frequently makes fluoropolymers the product of choice to protect metals and other plastics where extraordinary purity is required or where long-term reliability and very long service life is required for both cost and safety reasons. For example, flouropolymer insulated wire reduces weight in airplane wiring and extends durability and reliability. High span bridges are frequently painted with flouropolymer-based paints with a service life of up to 30 years. Fluoropolymers are frequently a critical part of new technology in medicine, environmental conservation, energy solutions, space exploration and civilian and military safety.

History of the Teak Shield Fluoropolymer Technology

Robert Diefendorf, one of the Licensors, developed a new type of protective coating, a space age fluoropolymer designed to last 20-30 years. The original product was developed to protect teak surfaces on private pleasure sailboats. The product would negate the requirement to re-oil the teak every 60-90 days. Mr. Diefendorf then founded Teak Shield to market this product.

After testing various resins, Mr. Diefendorf found one that would protect teak surfaces without damaging the aesthetics of the wood. Two years later he had developed a teak coating that would last for years. After successfully selling the Teak Shield product to the Marine Industry for about eight years he moved onto other areas. He then developed a coating to preserve brass, copper, stainless steel, silver and many other metals from tarnish, rust or corrosion. Coatings are now produced for all types of substrates, including concrete and fiberglass.

Key Product Markets

Marine Industry

We mainly market the Exhaust Scrubber and Bio Scrubber to the marine industry, although the Exhaust Scrubber also has land-based applications. Due to the relatively small size and light weight of the Exhaust Scrubber, the technology can be installed on almost any type of vessel and can be customized to fit any size engine.  Our Exhaust Scrubbers and Bio Scrubbers can be installed on a ship at any time during the normal operation, not requiring any expensive dry dock time.
 
There are approximately 65,000 ships worldwide, including bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, cargo ships and passenger/cruise ships.   Of this worldwide fleet, approximately 21,000 ships operate in ECA waters on regular basis and 14,000 ships on a daily basis. Ernst & Young expects that by 2015, at a minimum, approximately 2.5% of ships that operate in ECA waters will chose to install some type of exhaust scrubber, instead of switching to an alternative fuel.  With extended emissions standards coming into effect in 2020, it is expected that the scrubber market will encompass all ships spending extensive time outside international waters as currently it is the most cost-effective solution to complying with the regulations.
 
Our fluoropolymer products can also be effectively used in the marine industry. The coatings systems can be applied to ships and structures in both sea and fresh water environments. They serve the dual mandate of protecting against the destructive nature of harsh nautical environments and improve the ships eye appeal.

Additional Markets for Poly Shield Products

Aerospace

The aircraft coatings industry in the United States is highly consolidated with four key suppliers-AkzoNobel, PPG, Deft and Sherwin-Williams Aerospace. The market was valued at roughly $140 million in 2008 according to Chemark Consulting. The market is dominated by the commercial aircraft segment, which accounted for 73 percent of the market. The military and general aviation segments accounted for 22 percent and 5 percent respectively. A large part of the coatings procurement for aircraft is in the structural coatings area. It is estimated that there are up to five times the amount of coating used on the structure of an aircraft as to the exterior livery of the aircraft.

A significant amount of paint is required during mandatory maintenance operations, such as repainting aircraft. Airlines will also repaint aircraft as part of a rebranding effort to improve the airline’s image. Growth is coming most notably from low-cost airlines who continue to grow globally. MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) business is growing with global consolidation in the airline industry and planes must be painted with new logos. The military segment is stable with the production of new airplanes and the repaint programs of existing aircraft.

Anti-Microbial Market

According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc. (GIA) the US market for anti-microbial coatings is forecast to reach $1.2 billion by the year 2017. Growth in the market is mainly driven by growing demand for improved health, sanitation and hygiene, particularly in major end-use markets including medical, household care and food processing. Application of anti-microbial coatings is mushrooming in a host of industries ranging from healthcare to industrial and consumer markets. The majority of these coatings are, however, used in the healthcare and indoor air quality markets. This is mainly due to the product’s efficacy in combating bacteria, mold, mildew and other infection causing pathogens.

Industrial/Commercial

The industrial coatings market is comprised of a number of diverse segments including onshore oil and gas, commercial architecture, general industrial and industrial maintenance. The coatings are usually defined by their protective, rather than their aesthetic properties, although they can provide both. In 2008, 344 million gallons of industrial coatings were sold into customer industries at a value of $5.6 billion. The most common use of industrial coatings is for corrosion control of steel structures such as offshore platforms, bridges and underground pipelines. Other functions include intumescent coatings for fire resistance. Industrial coatings are often composites of various substances. A typical coating system may include a primer, an intermediate coat and a top coat. The polymer film acts as a physical barrier between the steel substrate and the corrosive environment such as atmosphere, water and soil.

Competition for Exhaust and Bio Scrubbers

Since the market for the emission abatement technologies, such us our Exhaust Scrubber, is still in the early growing stage, there are only few competitors who provide similar technologies. Our main competitors in this industry are   Ecospec, Wärtsilä, Alfa Laval and Dupont. None of these competitors has yet received a full approval (EPA, USCG, MEPC) for operation on commercial vessels and therefore cannot be considered proven. They are also limited to operating with caustic soda or in the open loop, increasing operating costs and risks due to the nature and sensitivity of the chemicals.

The competitors for the Bio Scrubber, such as Westfalia and Alfa Laval, have shown to be less efficient since the solutions they offer use more energy and water, compared to our Bio Scrubber.

Competition for Fluoropolymer Products

The end-markets and distribution of fluoropolymer products are highly competitive. Speed, service, reputation, unique product quality, brand recognition, delivery, and price are the principal factors affecting competition. The distribution market is also highly fragmented and we face competition against large global businesses, national distributors, and local suppliers focusing on niche markets. Many of our competitors will be more established and/or have greater financial resources than we currently do. Nevertheless, we believe that our strategy to focus on providing environmentally friendly coating and cleaners at competitive prices to more dangerous products will capture a significant market share of the growing flouropolymer industry.

Teak Shield's proprietary blend of resins, polymers and fluorine give Shield Products superior performance over competitor’s products. In side-by-side tests performed by NASA and Sys-Tec Corporation, our coatings protected test surfaces attached to the international space station longer than competitor’s products. Sys-Tec recommended that markings would be protected with Shield Product clear coat.

Methods of Distribution

We are currently assembling several sales teams to sell our products directly to customers. We plan to have our sales teams initially work in North American and South East Asian markets of the marine and the oil and gas industries.

We are planning to use third party suppliers for production, as well as installation of both, Exhaust and Bio Scrubbers. Currently we are in the process of securing contracts with potential suppliers. To ensure the high standards of installation and customer satisfaction, Mr. Norling will provide training on the proper handling and installation procedures.

Since our fluoropolymer products do not require any special handling, Teak Shield will ship the product directly to the customer once we complete the sale.

Patent Rights, License Agreements and Royalty Rights
 
GTM Contracts

Our rights to the Exhaust Scrubber technology are governed by Collaboration, Master Distributor and License Agreements with Green Tech Marine, AS, a Norwegian corporation (“Green Tech Marine”).  We acquired our rights under these agreements through our acquisition of Ecolutions.

Distribution Rights

Under the terms of our Collaboration Agreement and Master Distributor Agreement with Green Tech Marine we have been granted exclusive distribution rights for the Exhaust Scrubber for all of North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico) and Singapore.  In addition, we have non-exclusive distribution rights for the rest of the world (excluding any existing Green Tech Marine customers and customers not generated by us). Under the terms of the Master Distributor Agreement, Green Tech Marine will manufacture and sell the Exhaust Scrubber to us until we have the capability to manufacture the Exhaust Scrubber on our own.  If we become capable of manufacturing the Exhaust Scrubber on our own (the “Manufacturing Readiness Date”), of which there is no assurance, the Master Distributor Agreement will terminate and our relationship with Green Tech Marine and our rights to the Exhaust Scrubber and the related technologies will be governed by the Collaboration Agreement and the License Agreement.  Subject to certain early termination rights for non-compliance, our distribution rights to the Exhaust Scrubber extend for a term ending on the earlier of:

 
(a)
November 15, 2022; and

 
(b)
The date that is 3 months after the Manufacturing Readiness Date.

License Rights

In addition to the distribution rights set out in the Collaboration Agreement and the Master Distributor Agreement, Green Tech Marine has provided us with an exclusive license to manufacture, sell and distribute the Exhaust Scrubber and the related technologies in North America and Singapore, and non-exclusive rights to the rest of the world (excluding any existing Green Tech Marine customers and customers not generated by us.) Our license rights extend to November 15, 2022, subject to certain early termination rights for non-compliance.  The License Agreement with Green Tech Marine will automatically renew for successive 10 year periods at no additional cost, unless either party gives written notice of termination at least 90 days prior to the then current term.  We are not required to pay any consideration to Green Tech Marine to maintain our license rights.

Teak Shield License Agreement

Under the terms of the Teak Shield License, we have a worldwide license to sell fluoropolymer coatings based on Teak Shield’s proprietary formulas (the “Shield Products”).  Unless we exercise the Teak Shield Option (described below), Teak Shield may continue to sell Shield Products to its existing customers and customers not generated by us.  To acquire our license rights under the Teak Shield Agreement, we issued to the Teak Shield Licensors 1,666,667 post-reverse split shares of our common stock.  In addition, we agreed to pay Teak Shield a royalty equal to $100,000 per year.

In addition to our license rights, we also paid to the Teak Shield Licensors $250,000 for the right to purchase all of their rights and interests in the Teak Shield fluoropolymer products and formulas (the “Teak Shield Option”) during the term of the Teak Shield Agreement.  To exercise the Teak Shield Option, we must pay to the Teak Shield Licensors an additional $2,750,000.  In addition, if we exercise the Teak Shield Option, of which there is no assurance, the Teak Shield Licensors will be entitled to a perpetual 5% royalty on Teak Shield fluoropolymer products sold by us, with a minimum $100,000 yearly royalty payment.

Teak Shield will provide manufacturing of the Shield Products.  In the event that we generate sales volumes greater than Teak Shield’s manufacturing capacity, we will be allowed to seek additional manufacturing for the Shield Products with a polymer manufacturer acceptable to both us and the Teak Shield Licensors.

The Teak Shield Agreement extends for an initial term of two years, beginning March 12, 2012, and extends automatically for successive two year terms unless either party provides written notice of termination at least one month prior to the end of the current term.

Patent Applications for the Bio Scrubber

The Bio Scrubber technology is covered by US and European patent applications filed by Mr. Norling and was assigned to us in January 2013 for no additional consideration under the terms of his employment agreement with us.

WebTech Royalty Agreement

We currently have a royalty agreement with WebTech Wireless Inc. (“WebTech”) pursuant to which we are entitled to a 6% royalty on gross sales made by WebTech to qualified potential customers related to our former wireless tracking and telematics equipment business.  Under the terms of the WebTech royalty agreement, the royalties have no cap and are payable for 11 years, expiring November 1, 2015.  In September 2012, we received a notice that WebTech was shutting down its UK administrative office and curtailing some of their European operations.  However, since distribution and sales to WebTech’s European customers have not been discontinued, we expect to continue receiving the royalty revenue pursuant to this agreement.  However, due to uncertainties resulting from WebTech’s changes in operations, and resulting uncertainties relating to future collectability of this royalty, we cannot accurately predict future revenue from the royalty agreement, and historical royalty amounts may not be indicative of future royalties.

Expenditures on Research and Development During the Last Two Fiscal Years
 
We have not spent any funds on research and development activities in the last two fiscal years and currently are not conducting any research and development activities.
 
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees
 
As of February 5, 2013, Poly Shield has one employee, Rasmus Norling, who is also CEO and President of the Company.  A description of the compensation paid to Mr. Norling under the terms of his employment agreement is included under Item 11 of this Form 10-K.
 
In addition to services of Mr. Norling, management expects to continue to outsource consulting, legal and accounting services to third parties, as well as use services of outside manufacturers and installers for marketing and distribution of our Exhaust and Bio Scrubbers. The management believes that the use of third party services is most cost-effective for the current level of operations; however, once the need for additional full-time employees becomes evident, it will be addressed promptly.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These risk factors should be considered along with the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause our actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. The following discussion is not an all-inclusive listing of risks, although we believe these are the more material risks that we face. If any of the following occur, our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively affected. We caution the reader to keep these risk factors in mind and refrain from attributing undue certainty to any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report.

We cannot guarantee that we will continue receiving royalty revenue from our agreement with WebTech Wireless (“WebTech”).

From November 2004 through fiscal 2012, our sole source of revenue was from royalties received from WebTech on the sale of global wireless tracking and telematics equipment from qualified customers. In 2012, WebTech closed their UK office and curtailed some of their European operations. Even though WebTech continues its sales in Europe through its head office based in Canada,  we cannot accurately predict future revenue from our royalty agreement due to uncertainties resulting form the WebTech’s changes in operations.

We have not yet earned any revenues from the sale of products or services related to the Exhaust Scrubber, the Bio Scrubber or the fluoropolymer products.

Our current principal business focus is on the sale of products and services related to the Exhaust Scrubber, the Bio Scrubber and the Teak Shield fluoropolymer products.  However, our efforts in these areas are in the development stage and we have not yet earned revenues related to these business efforts, and there is no assurance that we will be able to earn revenues from these businesses in the future.

We have only one supplier for our Exhaust Scrubbers.
 
Our Exhaust Scrubber is manufactured by Green Tech Marine AS (“Green Tech Marine”) and Green Tech Marine is currently our sole supplier. Until we reach Manufacturing Capability under the GTM Contracts, of which there is no assurance, we will be wholly restricted to the manufacturing capacity of our sole supplier.
 
Flag Ship Approval under Regulation 4 of Marpol Annex VI is made on a ship by ship basis.
 
The approval of the scrubber installation is made on a ship by ship basis and it is very hard to receive a Type Approval for the system prior to the installation. While our Exhaust Scrubber is the only scrubber to have received Type Approval for large gas turbine engines, we cannot guarantee that it will receive Type Approval on future installations.  Failure to receive Type Approval on future installations could have a significant material impact on the financial results of our Company.
 
We have only one supplier that has approval to use the formula to produce our fluoropolymer products.

The formula used to produce our fluoropolymer products is controlled by the Teak Shield Licensors and our sole supplier of our Teak Shield products is a manufacturing company owned by the Teak Shield Licensors. Since we do not own the formula, we cannot produce the products on our own. Unless we exercise the Teak Shield Option to purchase all of the Teak Shield Licensors’ proprietary rights to the Shield Products, of which there is no assurance, we will be restricted to the manufacturing capacity of our sole supplier.

We have a lack of operating history in the fluoropolymer and the scrubber industries and there is no assurance that our business efforts in these fields will be successful.

With our entry into the Teak Shield License Agreement, GTM Contracts, and acquisition of patent application rights to the Bio Scrubber technology we have added to our business. Although our Board of Directors and Executive Officers have extensive business experience, they do not have experience in the fluoropolymer industry, and aside from our Chief Executive Officer, limited experience in the scrubber industry. Some of our competitors may have greater experience and/or greater financial resources than we do at this time. We intend to hire experienced sales and consulting teams to market our products.  However, we have no history of earning revenue in the fluoropolymer, as well as the Exhaust and the Bio Scrubber businesses, and there is no assurance that our business efforts in these industries will prove successful.

Inability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our financial results.
 
Intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, tradenames and other forms of trade dress, are important to our business. We endeavor to protect our intellectual property rights in jurisdictions in which our products are produced or used and in jurisdictions into which our products are imported. However, we may be unable to obtain protection for our intellectual property in key jurisdictions. We have designed and implemented internal controls to restrict access to and distribution of our intellectual property. Despite these precautions, our intellectual property is vulnerable to unauthorized access through employee error or actions, theft and cybersecurity incidents, and other security breaches.

Demand for and supply of our products and services may be adversely affected by several factors, some of which we cannot predict or control, that could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The demand for our products and services could be affected by several factors, including:
 
·
economic downturns in the markets in which we sell our products;
 
·
competition from other products;
 
·
changes in customer preferences;
 
·
product obsolescence or technological changes that render our products less desirable to use or more expensive to produce;
 
·
changes in environmental regulations that may make our products illegal to sell and distribute in their present form;
 
·
inability of our supplier to obtain materials used in production due to factors such as work stoppages, shortages or supplier plant shutdowns; and
 
·
inability to supply products due to factors such as work stoppages, plant shutdowns or regulatory changes and exogenous factors, like severe weather.

If any of these events occur, the demand for and supply of our products and services could suffer, which could have a material adverse affect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Changes in government policies, regulations and laws could adversely affect our financial results.
 
We expect the majority of our future revenue to come from sales of our Exhaust Scrubber, which is heavily dependent on current and future IMO Regulations being enforced by international signatories to MARPOL Annex VI.  While currently, the United States, Canada and the E.U. have ECA’s in place, and sulfur oxide limit restrictions in these ECA’s are expected to drop, there can be no assurance that this will happen.  A change in the current and upcoming IMO regulations could have a significant material impact on our financial results.
 
Unforeseen complications during the installation of the Exhaust and Bio Scrubbers can potentially halt ships operation, which could adversely affect our sales, results of operations or cash flows, as well as increase potential for lawsuits filed against us.
 
Our Exhaust and Bio Scrubbers can be installed on a ship without disruption to the ship’s operations. However, if the planning and/or execution of the installation process have flaws, we can face a situation where the ship’s operation has to be halted in order to complete installation. Depending on the type of the ship and its machinery, this risk can be mitigated by scheduling the operation of a different engine. However, if the alternative engine is not available, we will have no choice but to stop the operation of the ship.
 
Manufacturing of our polymer products are contracted out and they are subject to hazards and other risks associated with polymer production and the related storage and transportation of raw materials, products and wastes.

Polymer production is subject to the possible hazards and risks associated with the related storage and transportation of inventories and wastes, including fires, explosions, natural disasters, inclement weather, mechanical failure, unscheduled downtime, transportation interruptions, remediation, chemical spills, discharges or releases of toxic or hazardous substances or gases and other risks. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to, or destruction of, property and equipment, reduced production and environmental contamination. Accordingly, these hazards, and their consequences could have a material adverse effect on our operations as a whole, including our results of operations and cash flows, both during and after the period of operational difficulties.

Extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations impact the production of our fluoropolymer products and compliance with these regulations could adversely affect the cost of purchasing the product from our supplier.

The production of our fluoropolymer products is subject to extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations at the national, state and local governmental levels. The nature of our business exposes our supplier of fluoropolymer products to compliance costs and risks of liability under these laws and regulations due to the production, storage, transportation, recycling or disposal and/or sale of materials that can cause contamination and other harm to the environment or personal injury if they are released. Environmental compliance requirements on our suppliers may significantly increase our operating costs, which could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We face competition from other fluoropolymer and chemical companies, which could adversely affect our sales, results of operations or cash flows.

We compete with companies that produce similar products and with companies that produce different products that are designed for the same end uses. We encounter competition based on several key criteria, including product performance and quality, product price, product availability and security of supply, responsiveness of product development in cooperation with customers and customer service.

We expect that our competitors will continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced products, which could cause a decline in the market acceptance of our products. In addition, our competitors could cause a reduction in the selling prices of some of our products as a result of intensified price competition. Competitive pressures can also result in the loss of major customers. An inability to compete successfully could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We may also experience increased competition from companies that offer products based on alternative technologies and processes that may be more competitive or better in price or performance, causing us to lose customers and result in a decline in our sales volume and earnings.

Additionally, some of our customers may already be or may become large enough to justify developing in-house production capabilities. Any significant reduction in customer orders as a result of a shift to in-house production could adversely affect our future sales and operating prospects.

We face competition from other companies who manufacture and install exhaust scrubbers or other emission abatement solutions, which could adversely affect our sales, results of operations or cash flows.

At the moment, none of our main competitors for the Exhaust Scrubber has received a full approval (EPA, USCG, MEPC) for operation on commercial vessels. The scrubbers used by these competitors are limited to operating with caustic soda or in the open loop, which increases operating costs and risks due to the nature and sensitivity of the chemicals. However, should these companies get the full approval or develop and introduce more enhanced technolgies, we could face a decline in the market share for our Exhaust Scrubbers.
 
Current and future disruptions in the global credit and financial markets could limit our access to financing, which could negatively impact our business.

Domestic and foreign credit and financial markets have experienced extreme disruption in the past three years, including volatility in security prices, diminished liquidity and credit availability, declining valuations of certain investments and significant changes in the capital and organizational structures of certain financial institutions. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the continuing disruption in the credit and financial markets or of any related adverse economic conditions. These market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to grow and maintain our business. Accordingly, we may be forced to delay raising capital, issue shorter tenors than we prefer or pay unattractive interest rates, which could increase our interest expense, decrease our profitability and significantly reduce our financial flexibility. Overall, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by the disruptions in the global credit and financial markets.
 
 
11

 

The global economic downturn may have a negative effect on our business and operations.

The global economic downturn has caused a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and lower business spending, all of which may have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Potential customers may be unable to fund purchases or may determine to reduce purchases or inventories or may cease to continue in business. In addition, our supplier may not be able to supply us with needed raw materials on a timely basis, may increase prices or go out of business, which could result in our inability to meet customer demand or could affect our gross margins.

The timing, strength or duration of any recovery in the global economic markets remains uncertain, and there can be no assurance that market conditions will improve in the near future or that our results will not continue to be materially and adversely affected. Such conditions make it very difficult to forecast operating results, make business decisions and identify and address material business risks. There can be no assurance that the economy and our operating results will continue to improve, that the economy will not experience another significant downturn. In such an event, our operating results, financial condition and business could be adversely affected.

The agreements governing our debt contain various covenants that limit our ability to take certain actions, failure to comply with which could have a material adverse effect on us.

The agreements governing our senior secured term loan contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to: transfer or sell all or substantially all of our assets or make certain other restricted payments. Any future refinancing of the term loan is likely to contain similar restrictive covenants.

Our Chief Executive Officer and President holds approximately 82% of our common stock and will be able to exert considerable influence over our actions.
 
Mr. Rasmus Norling owns approximately 82% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As the Chief Executive Officer, President and a significant stockholder, he has the power to exert considerable influence over our actions and the outcome of matters on which our stockholders are entitled to vote including the election of directors and other significant corporate actions. The interests of Mr. Norling may be different from the interests of our shareholders.
 
The loss of key members of our senior management team could disrupt the management of our business.
 
We believe that our success depends on the continued contributions of the members of our senior management team, including Mr. Rasmus Norling, our Chief Executive Officer, President and principal stockholder. The loss of the services of Mr. Norling could impair our ability to identify and secure new customer contracts, to maintain good customer relationships and to otherwise manage our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and our ability to compete.
 
We are subject to risks associated with selling our products internationally.

Our non-domestic sales efforts are subject to varying degrees of regulation in each of the foreign jurisdictions in which we may seek to provide services. Local laws and regulations, and their interpretation and enforcement, differ significantly among those jurisdictions, and can change significantly over time. Future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes or interpretations may have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver services in foreign jurisdictions.
  
In addition to these international regulatory risks, some of the other risks inherent in conducting business internationally include:
  
 
·
economic, political and social instability;
 
·
currency restrictions and exchange rate fluctuations;
 
·
potential submission to the jurisdiction of a foreign court or arbitration panel;
 
·
import and export quotas;
 
 
12

 
 
·
longer payment cycles and problems collecting accounts receivable;
 
·
potential vessel seizure, terrorist attacks, piracy, kidnapping, the expropriation of assets and other governmental acts;
 
·
pandemics or epidemics that disrupt worldwide trade or the movement of vessels;
 
·
additional U.S. and other regulation of non-domestic operations, including regulation under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as well as other anti-corruption laws; and
 
·
the imposition of unanticipated or increased taxes, increased environmental and safety regulations or other forms of public and governmental regulation that increase our operating expenses.

Many of these risks are beyond our control, and we cannot predict the nature or the likelihood of the occurrence or corresponding effect of any such events, each of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to pay interest on our debt and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend in part upon our future financial and operating performance and upon our ability to renew or refinance borrowings. Prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, will affect our ability to make these payments. While we believe that cash flow from our current level of operations, available cash and available borrowings will provide adequate sources of liquidity for at least the next twelve months, a significant drop in operating cash flow resulting from economic conditions, competition or other uncertainties beyond our control could create the need for alternative sources of liquidity. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations, we will have to pursue one or more alternatives, such as, reducing or delaying capital or other expenditures, refinancing debt, selling assets, or raising equity capital.

We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our term loan and revolving credit facility, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.

Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the quotation price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:

 
·
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
 
·
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;
 
·
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
 
·
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
 
·
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
 
·
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
 
 
13

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

DIVIDENDS
 
We have not declared any dividends on our Common Stock during the past 2 fiscal years or at any time in its history other than stock dividends. Under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), we may only declare dividends to the extent that the amount of such dividends do not exceed the amount of Poly Shield’s “surplus” as calculated in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL, and generally means the excess of net assets over the aggregate par value of our issued common stock.  Except as provided for under the DGCL, dividends are declared at the sole discretion of Poly Shield’s Board of Directors.  We do not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future as we expect to spend any funds legally available for the payment of dividends on the development of our business.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
On February 5, 2013, the Company issued 154,000,000 shares of our common stock at a deemed price of $0.25 per share as consideration for Mr. Norling’s agreement to act as Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The stock was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amend (the “Securities Act”), and will be held in the custody of the Company, may not be sold, transferred or pledged, and will be subject to forfeiture pending the satisfaction by Mr. Norling of certain performance incentives.  A detailed description of the compensation payable to Mr. Norling and the conditions upon which these shares will be released to Mr. Norling is provided under Item 11. of this Form 10-K.

On January 31, 2013, the Company issued 100,000 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $53,000 as a purchase price for the Ecolutions, Inc. The shares were issued to Mr. Norling pursuant to the provisions of Rule 506 of the Securities Act on the basis of representations previously provided by Mr. Norling that he was an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act.

On September 28, 2012, the Company issued 350,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.30 per share to one subscriber pursuant to Regulation S of the United States Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The subscriber represented that she was not a “U.S. Person” as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act, and was not acquiring the shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.

On April 13, 2012, we issued 1,666,667 shares to two individuals with a fair value of $900,000 as consideration for the Teak Shield License. The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Management was satisfied we complied with the requirements of the exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery of the Securities Act. The offering was not a public offering and was not accompanied by any general advertisement or any general solicitation.

On September 23, 2010, Poly Shield received a loan of $12,500 payable on demand. Interest is to be paid at 7% per year, compounded monthly. The lender may, in its sole discretion, convert any payments of principal sum or interest into restricted shares of common stock in the capital of the Borrower at a conversion price of the lesser of US$0.50 per share and the Borrower’s closing market price on the day the Borrower receives the written instructions from the lender.

On September 30, 2010, Poly Shield received a loan of $12,000 payable on demand. Interest is to be paid at 7% per year, compounded monthly. The lender may, in its sole discretion, convert any payments of principal sum or interest into restricted shares of common stock in the capital of the Borrower at a conversion price of the lesser of US$0.50 per share and the Borrower’s closing market price on the day the Borrower receives the written instructions from the lender.

On October 26, 2010, Poly Shield received a loan of $10,000 payable on demand. Interest is to be paid at 7% per year, compounded monthly.

PENNY STOCK RULES
 
Trading in Poly Shield’s Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The 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 who recommends Poly Shield’s 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 Poly Shield’s securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of Poly Shield’s securities. The application of the “penny stock” rules may affect your ability to resell Poly Shield’s securities.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute "forward-looking statements". These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions, include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under this caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

General

The inclusion of supplementary analytical and related information herein may require us to make estimates and assumptions to enable us to fairly present, in all material respects, our analysis of trends and expectations with respect to our results of operations and financial position taken as a whole.

Revenues

Our royalty revenue decreased by $37,150 or 89.1% from $41,699 for the year ended December 31, 2011, to $4,549 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

All of our revenue for fiscal 2011 and 2012 was the result of the 6% royalty under the Royalty Agreement with WebTech. The 89.1% decrease resulted from a decline of WebTech’s European operations followed by the closure of the UK office on September 30, 2012. Since WebTech continues to sell its products to its European customers through its head office located in Canada, we expect to continue receiving our royalty revenue in the foreseeable future. However, due to the uncertainties related to WebTech’s changes in operations and the collectability of this revenue we cannot accurately predict the amount and its effect on our operations, and historical royalty amounts may not be indicative of future royalties.

With our acquisition of rights to sell the Teak Shield Products, assigned patent applications for the Bio Scrubber as well as GTM Contracts for the Exhaust Scrubber we expect our revenue to increase. However, we do not currently have any sales or revenue history with respect to above mentioned products or their respective industries. As such, there is no assurance that our business efforts in this area will prove to be successful or that we will generate any revenue from the sale of those products.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, our operating expenses increased by $550,809 or 398% from $138,328 for the year ended December 31, 2011, to $689,137 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  This change was primarily caused by non-cash amortization expense of $203,645, recorded on our license and option rights under the Teak Shield License Agreement as well as accrued royalty fee payable to Teak Shield of $70,833. Our professional fees increased by $93,577, travel and entertainment expenses by $62,032, administration expenses and management fees by $43,300 and $5,035, respectively. The increases were associated with the acquisition of the Teak Shield License and rights to the Exhaust Scrubber and the Bio Scrubber and the development of the company’s business in those areas. In addition, during the same period we recorded advertising and promotion expenses and web site design fees of $32,189 and $14,500, respectively, associated with updating our business plan, developing and maintaining of our website and researching new marketing strategies for our products. We have also spent $10,100 for office rent and relocation when we moved our head office to Florida.

Our business efforts with respect to the Exhaust Scrubber, Bio Scrubber and fluoropolymer products are currently in the development stage, and thus, as we pursue the development of our new business, we expect our operating expenses to increase significantly in the fiscal 2013 as compared to the prior years results.  In addition, because we don’t have operating history with respect to these business lines, it may be difficult for us to predict future operating expenses and capital requirements related to these businesses and our historical results are not expected to be reflective of future expenses and capital requirements.
 
 
Other Items

During the year ended December 31, 2012, our interest expenses increased by $89,158, or 2,199.3% from $4,054 for the year ended December 31, 2011, to $93,212 for the year ended December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded a gain of $35,683 when certain debts were written off.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012, was $426,712. This cash was primarily used to cover our operating loss of $777,800 increases in prepaid expenses and advances of $2,308 and $80,000, respectively, as well as decrease in due to related parites of $1,567 . These uses of cash were offset by increases in accounts payable of $101,991, accrued liabilities of $92,139, and accrued interest on notes and advances payable of $32,189. Decrease in accounts receivable of $4,999 also contributed to offsetting the cash used in our operating activities. During the same period we recorded a non-cash item of $203,645 for amortization of the license and option to purchase.

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2011, was $40,193. This cash was primarily used to cover our operating loss of $65,000 and to decrease our accrued liabilities by $32,573. These uses were offset primarily by increases in due to related parties of $35,579 and a decrease in accounts payable of $51,817.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we invested $250,000 in a two year Teak Shield Option to purchase 100% of the Teak Shield Licensors’ ownership and interest in their proprietary rights and assets including all licensed products, manufacturing, patents, intellectual property, technology, contracts, trademarks and goodwill related to their fluoropolymer products. To exercise the Teak Shield Option we must pay an additional $2,750,000.

We did not have any investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we received $475,974 and $12,000 in loans from unrelated and former related parties, respectively. In addition, we recorded $15,000 in advances received from former related parties and $75,000 in advances received from unrelated parties.

On September 28, 2012, we issued 350,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.30 per share for total proceeds of $105,000 to one subscriber pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The subscriber represented that she was not a “U.S. Person” as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Act.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received $20,000 and $15,500 in loans and advances from unrelated and former related parties, respectively.

Non-Cash Financing

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we converted $53,000 in accounts payable owed to a supplier to 1,766,666 post-reverse split shares of common stock at a price of $0.03 per share. We recorded a loss on the conversion of this debt of $13,780.
 
Going Concern

The notes to our financial statements at December 31, 2012, disclose our uncertain ability to continue as a going concern. We were in the business of selling, marketing, distributing and installing global wireless tracking and telematics equipment in Europe until November 1, 2004, when we exchanged our rights to sell, market, distribute and install global wireless tracking and telematics equipment in Europe as well as specific assets and liabilities, for a royalty of 6% on future gross sales to qualified customers in Europe.  In September 2012, we received a notice that WebTech was shutting down its UK administrative office and curtailing some of their European operations. Since distribution and sales to WebTech’s European customers have not been discontinued, we expect to continue receiving the royalty revenue pursuant to this agreement. However, due to uncertainties resulting from WebTech’s changes in operations, and resulting uncertainties relating to future collectability of this royalty, we cannot accurately predict future revenue from the royalty agreement, and historical royalty amounts may not be indicative of future royalties.  Our Teak Shield contract as well as acquisition of the rights to distribute Bio Scrubber and Exhaust scrubber have not started generating any revenue.
 
 
19

 

We have accumulated a deficit of $2,295,013 since inception and additional financing will be required to fund and support our operations. We plan to mitigate our losses in future years by controlling our operating expenses and actively seeking contracts for our new technologies. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing, control our operating expenses or be successful in securing effective contracts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Critical Accounting Policies

An appreciation of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. These policies may require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. Other than our accounting for our royalty revenue, our critical accounting policies do not involve the choice between alternative methods of accounting. We have applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when pervasive evidence of an agreement exists, when it is received or when the income is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Accounts Receivable

Receivables represent valid claims against debtors for royalties arising on or before the balance sheet date and are reduced to their estimated net realizable value.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an assessment of the collectability of all past due accounts. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We are subject to foreign exchange risk on our royalty revenue which is denominated in British pounds and some purchases which are denominated in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the U.S. dollar.  Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our results of operations as exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currency result in gains and losses that are reflected in our Statement of Operations. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency-denominated transactions will result in increased net revenue. Conversely, our net revenue will decrease when the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies. We do not believe that we have any material risk due to foreign currency exchange.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued professional fees. We believe the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable.

At December 31, 2012, we had approximately $6,969 in cash on deposit with a large chartered Canadian bank.  At December 31, 2012, $4,315 of this cash was insured.  As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of this financial institution.  We have not experienced any losses in cash balances and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash.
 
 
20

 

Accounts receivable consists of royalty income from one source and is not collateralized.  We continually monitor the financial condition of our customer to reduce the risk of loss. We routinely assess the financial strength of our source of revenue income and as a consequence, concentration of credit risk is limited. At December 31, 2012, we did not have a receivable from this source.

Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to our financial statements.

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Poly Shield Technologies Inc. (formerly Globetrac Inc.)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Poly Shield Technologies Inc. (formerly Globetrac Inc.) (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, 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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

POLY SHIELD TECHNOLOGIES INC.
(Formerly GLOBETRAC INC.)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012
 


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Poly Shield Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 2, 2000.   The Company was in the global wireless tracking business in Europe until November 1, 2004, when it exchanged this business for a royalty of 6% on future gross sales; the Company entered into an agreement to discontinue with  its global wireless tracking and telematics equipment business in Europe, in exchange for certain assets and liabilities and a 6% royalty to be paid on gross sales. This royalty agreement expires on October 31, 2015.

On March 12, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the rights to market the products of Teak Shield Corp. (“Teak Shield”). Teak Shield has several proprietary processes for the production of coatings used to protect surfaces from corrosion, oxidation and degradation (Note 5).  

On July 11, 2012, the Company changed its name from Globetrac Inc. to Poly Shield Technologies Inc. in order to reflect its new business direction.

On December 1, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Rasmus Norling, the inventor and owner of certain technology used to remove alkali metal from fuel in efforts to protect gas turbines from corrosion (Note 4).

On July 11, 2012, the Company effected a consolidation of the issued and outstanding common stock on a one-for-three basis, without decreasing its authorized capital. Accordingly, these financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the share consolidation.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not achieved profitable operations and has accumulated a deficit of $2,295,013.  Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing funds from its directors and officers, issuing promissory notes and/or a private placement of common stock.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.

Accounting estimates
The preparation of the 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.
 
 
F - 6

 
Revenue recognition
Royalty revenue is recognized when pervasive evidence of an agreement exists, when it is received or when the royalty income is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Income taxes
Income tax expense is based on pre-tax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per common share includes the potential dilution that could occur upon exercise of the options and warrants to acquire common stock computed using the treasury stock method which assumes that the increase in the number of shares is reduced by the number of shares which could have been repurchased by the Company with the proceeds from the exercise of the options and warrants.

Foreign Currency Translations
Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, notes payable, convertible notes, and amounts due to related parties. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the financial statements of the Company.

This agreement becomes effective on the later of December 15, 2012, or upon fulfillment by the Vendor of certain deliverables (“Effective Date”) including a ten year license for the rights to utilize, market, sell and distribute emission abatement technologies and certain intellectual property (“Minimum Technology Rights”).

Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, upon the Effective Date, the Vendor will be appointed the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and will receive a signing bonus of $180,000 (Notes 8 and 11). Beginning on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Vendor will be paid an annual base salary of $180,000 per year. In addition, on the Effective Date the Company agreed to issue 154,000,000 shares of its common stock, which will be held in escrow and released to the Vendor upon delivery of bona fide contracts for the sale or lease of products or services at a rate of one share for each $0.25 in revenue. Escrowed stock will be released in increments of 1,250,000 shares of common stock. Escrowed stock which will not be eligible for release by December 31, 2013, will be forfeited (Note 8 and 11).

As at December 31, 2012, the Vendor had not yet delivered the Minimum Technology Rights to the Company. The Company advanced $80,000 of the signing bonus to the Vendor prior to December 31, 2012. The advance will be applied towards $180,000 signing bonus.

On January 12, 2013, the Vendor assigned to the Company rights to U.S. and European patent applications for the desalination “Bio Scrubber” technology (Note 11).

On January 31, 2013, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock at $0.53 per share as a purchase price for all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Ecolutions, Inc. which held the rights to the intellectual property of GTM.  Shares issued for the acquisition of Ecolutions, Inc. were in addition to the compensation agreed upon pursuant to the Employment Agreement (Note 11).

On February 5, 2013, the Company’s board of directors determined that the Vendor had satisfied his obligations to deliver the Minimum Technology Rights. Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, the Company paid the Vendor the remaining $100,000 of the signing bonus and on February 6, 2013, the Company issued 154,000,000 restricted common shares, which were placed in escrow, pending release to the Vendor upon delivery of bona fide contracts for the sale or lease of products or services (Note 11).

In exchange, the Company agreed to pay a 5% royalty to the Licensors with a minimum $100,000 annual royalty payment, and agreed to issue to the Licensors 1,666,667 shares of the Company (Note 7).

On April 13, 2012, the purchase of the Teak Shield License was completed and 1,666,667 shares with a fair value of $900,000 were issued.  As part of the agreement the Company acquired a two year option to purchase 100% of the Licensor’s ownership and interest in its proprietary rights and assets (the “Teak Shield Option”) including all licensed products, manufacturing, patents, intellectual property, technology, contracts, trademarks and goodwill for $250,000. To exercise the Teak Shield Option the Company must pay an additional $2,750,000 (Note 8).

The Teak Shield License and the Teak Shield Option will be in effect for two years from the completion of the acquisition, and may be automatically renewed for a further two years. During the year ended December 31, 2012, amortization expense of $203,645 was recorded.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

The reported income taxes differ from the amounts obtained by applying statutory rates to the loss before income taxes as follows:

The Company’s tax-effected future income tax assets and liabilities are estimated as follows:

December 31, 2011
 
   
 
   
 
 
Deferred income tax assets

Less: Valuation allowance
    (248,891 )     (54,441 )
Net deferred income tax assets
  $ -     $ -  

At December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company had a deferred tax asset that related to net operating losses. A 100% valuation allowance has been established; as management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

As at December 31, 2012, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $995,562 (2011 – $217,762) to reduce future federal and state taxable income. These losses expire by 2032.

Net operating losses incurred prior to May 6, 2002, are subject to an annual limitation due to a ownership change (as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986). Unused annual limitations may be carried over to future years until the net operating losses expire. Utilization of net operating losses may also be limited in any one year by alternative minimum tax rules.

The Company is not currently subject to any income tax examinations by any tax authority. Should a tax examination be opened, management does not anticipate any tax adjustments, if accepted, that would result in a material change to its financial position.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

There were no disagreements with Poly Shield’s previous accountants Mendoza Berger & Company, L.L.P., 9838 Research Drive, Irvine California, 92618 on accounting and financial disclosure. Poly Shield’s current principal independent registered public accounting firm since February 8, 2012 to the current date is Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte L.L.P. Chartered Accountants.

Effective February 8, 2012, Poly Shield’s board of directors approved a change in Poly Shield’s independent auditors. None of the reports of Mendoza Berger & Company, L.L.P., Certified Public Accountants Inc. on the financial statements of Poly Shield’s for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, contained any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, but did contain an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although audited statements prepared by Mendoza Berger & Company, L.L.P, Certified Public Accountants Inc. contained a going concern qualification, such financial statements did not contain any adjustments for uncertainties stated therein, nor have there been at any time, disagreements between Poly Shield and Mendoza Berger & Company, L.L.P, Certified Public Accountants Inc. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

Poly Shield retained the accounting firm of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte L.L.P. Chartered Accountants, to serve as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit its financial statements beginning with the year ended December 31, 2011. This engagement became effective February 8, 2012. Prior to its engagement as Poly Shield’s independent auditors, Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte L.L.P. Chartered Accountants, had not been consulted by Poly Shield either with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Poly Shield’s financial statements or on any other matter that was the subject of any prior disagreement between Poly Shield and its previous certifying accountants.
 
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by Poly Shield’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of Poly Shield’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2012. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, Poly Shield’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Poly Shield’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. Poly Shield’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of Poly Shield’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Poly Shield’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of Poly Shield’s assets;
 
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and
 
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Poly Shield’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control –Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result of this assessment, it was found that the internal controls can be relied upon.

Poly Shield’s independent auditors have not issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of Poly Shield’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result, this annual report does not include an attestation report of Poly Shield’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Poly Shield was not required to have, nor has Poly Shield, engaged its independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit Poly Shield to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls

As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in Poly Shield’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2012, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Poly Shield’s internal control over financial reporting.

Nomination Procedure for Directors

Poly Shield does not have a standing nominating committee.  Recommendations for candidates to stand for election as directors are made by the board of directors. Poly Shield has not adopted a policy that permits shareholders to recommend nominees for election as directors or a process for shareholders to send communications to the board of directors. However, pursuant to Section 3 of Article III of Poly Shield’s By-laws, shareholders are able to provide Poly Shield with information for nominees for directors subject to the conditions provided in Section 3 of Article III of Poly Shield’s By-laws.

Identification of Audit Committee

Poly Shield does not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. Rather, Poly Shield’s entire board of directors perform the required functions of an audit committee. None of our directors is independent. See Item 13(c) Director Independence below for more information on independence.

Poly Shield’s audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of Poly Shield’s independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by Poly Shield’s employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee.

As of December 31, 2012, Poly Shield did not have a written audit committee charter or similar document and has not adopted any specific policies or procedures for the engagement of non-audit services.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

John da Costa, our Chief Financial Officer and a director, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”, as defined by Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. da Costa is not an independent director, we believe that his experience in preparing, analyzing and evaluating financial statements, as well as his knowledge of public company reporting will provide us with the guidance we need until we are able to expand our board to include independent directors who have the knowledge and experience to serve on an audit committee.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all our executive officers and employees, including our CEO and CFO. See Exhibit 14 – Code of Ethics for more information. We believe that our Code of Ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the Code.

Employment Agreements

On December 6, 2012, we entered into an employment agreement (the “Norling Agreement”) dated December 1, 2012, with Rasmus Norling. Effectiveness of the Employment Agreement was contingent upon Mr. Norling delivering to us certain minimum rights (the “Minimum Technology Rights”). By assigning to us the US and European patent applications for the Bio Scrubber, and selling to us all of the outstanding shares of Ecolutions, Inc. (and our resulting acquisition of Ecolution’s rights under its Collaboration, Master Distributor and License Agreements with Green Tech Marine AS), Mr. Norling satisfied his obligations to deliver the Minimum Technology Rights to us, and the Norling Agreement was determined to be effective as of February 5, 2013.  Under the terms of the Norling Agreement, Mr. Norling was paid a signing bonus of $180,000 on February 5, 2013.  Beginning in 2014, Mr. Norling will be entitled to an annual salary of $180,000 per year.

In addition to the base salary and signing bonus, Mr. Norling was issued 154,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Custodial Stock”). The Custodial Stock will be held in the custody of the Company and may not be sold, transferred, pledged or assigned by Mr. Norling and will be subject to forfeiture pending the satisfaction by Mr. Norling of certain performance incentives.  To earn release of the Custodial Stock, Mr. Norling is required to deliver to the Company bona fide contracts for the sale or lease of products or services based on the Exhaust Scrubber and Bio Scrubber technologies.  To qualify, these contracts (the “Qualifying Contracts”) must be approved by the Company’s board of directors.  The Custodial Stock will be released to Mr. Norling in equal proportion to the face value of the Qualifying Contracts at a rate of $0.25 per share, in minimum increments of 1,250,000 shares (i.e. Qualifying Contracts having an incremental value of $312,500).  To earn release of all of the Custodial Stock, Mr. Norling will be required to deliver Qualifying Contracts totaling a minimum of $38,500,000 by December 31, 2013.  Any shares that have not become eligible for release by December 31, 2013 shall be forfeited and all of Mr. Norling’s rights thereto will be terminated in their entirety.  Pending the release or forfeiture of the Custodial Stock, Mr. Norling will be entitled to all other rights and privileges as a shareholder with respect to the Custodial Stock, including the right to vote the Custodial Stock, except that any shares distributed as a stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction will be subject to the same limitations and restrictions as the Custodial Stock. The Norling Agreement does not contain any provisions regarding payments in the event of the termination of his employment or a change in control.
 
 
27

 

Aside from Mr. Norling’s employment agreement described above, there are no employment agreements between Poly Shield and any other named executive officers, and there are no employment agreements or other compensating plans or arrangements with regard to any named executive officers which provide for specific compensation in the event of resignation, retirement, other termination of employment or from a change of control of Poly Shield or from a change in a named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.
 
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL HOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT.

The following tables set forth certain information concerning the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially as of March 26, 2013 by: (i) each person (including any group) known to us to own more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, (ii) each of our directors and each of our named executive officers (as defined under Item 402(m)(2) of Regulation S-K), and (iii) officers and directors as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the shareholders listed possess sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares.  Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.    As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following tables does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding.  As of March 26, 2013, there were 187,845,005 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

Equity Compensation Plans

Other than with respect to the 154,000,000 shares issued to Mr. Norling pursuant to his employment agreement, Poly Shield did not have any outstanding equity compensation plans or individual compensation arrangements under which equity securities are authorized for issuance at the end of its December 31, 2012 fiscal year.  A description of the transfer restrictions and the terms of release and forfeiture of the shares issued to Mr. Norling pursuant to his employment agreement is provided under Item 11 of this Form 10-K regarding Executive Compensation.

Changes in Control

As disclosed above in Item 11 of this Form 10-K regarding Executive Compensation, the 154,000,000 shares of Poly Shield common stock (the “Custodial Stock”) issued to Rasmus Norling under the terms of his employment agreement are subject to forfeiture pending the delivery by Mr. Norling of contracts for the sale or lease of products or services based on Poly Shield’s Exhaust Scrubber and Bio Scrubber technologies.  Pending release or forfeiture of the Custodial Stock, Mr. Norling has the right to vote those shares. If Mr. Norling does not deliver contracts for a minimum of $38,500,000 by December 31, 2013, some or all of the Custodial Stock will be forfeited to the Company, which could result in a change in control.

Other than with respect to the possible forfeiture by Mr. Norling of the Custodial Stock, management is not aware of any arrangement that may result in a change in control of Poly Shield.
 
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Director independence

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which does not have director independence requirements.  In determining whether any of our directors are independent, we have applied the definition of “independent director” in Section 803 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide.  We have determined that, under that definition, none of our directors are independent.

Transactions with Related Persons

Since January, 2011, the directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our common stock, or members of their immediate families, as described below, have completed transactions with us in which they had direct or indirect material interests that exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years.

(c) During the period ended February 28, 2013, we paid Rasmus Norling a signing bonus of $180,000, of which $42,908 in employment taxes were withheld.

We did not have any transactions with Mr. Norling during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Approval Policies and Procedures

We do not have a separately standing audit committee.  As such, our entire board of directors acts as our audit committee.  Our board of directors annually reviews the qualifications of our principal accountant and approves their engagement as our principal accountant prior to their engagement.  All of the non-audit services provided by our principal accountant were either pre-approved by our board of directors prior to engagement of the principal accountant for those services, or were approved by our  board of directors prior to completion of their audit of our annual financial statements.  Fees paid for non-audit services in 2012 and 2011 constituted less than 5% of total fees paid to our principal accountants in those years.
