d. Notes to Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at November 30, 2013 and for all periods presented have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's August 31, 2013 audited financial statements filed therewith along with its Form 10-K annual report. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2013. The Company is a development stage company, as defined in FASB ASC 915 "Development Stage Entities."

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit since inception of $2,502,736. The Company has not generated any revenues to date, and its ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company. Amounts raised will be used for further development of the Company's products, to provide financing for marketing and promotion and for other working capital purposes. While the Company is putting forth its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

 

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The relevant accounting policies are listed below.

 

Basis of Accounting

The basis is United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. The Company has not incurred any advertising expenses since inception.

 

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.

 

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales once all of the following criteria for revenue recognition have been met: pervasive evidence that an agreement exists; the services have been rendered; the fee is fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and collection of the amount due is reasonably assured.

 

Cost of product sold

The types of costs included in cost of product sold are raw materials, packaging materials, manufacturing costs, plant administrative support and overheads, and freight and warehouse costs.

 

Year end

The Company's fiscal year-end is August 31.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company's management has evaluated all the recently issued accounting pronouncements through the filing date of these financial statements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 7 - INVENTORY

 

The Company assesses the valuation of its inventories and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analyses and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, future demand, and market requirements. Reductions to the carrying value of inventories are recorded in cost of product sold. If the future demand for the Company’s products is less favorable than the Company’s forecasts, then the value of the inventories may be required to be reduced, which could result in additional expense to the Company and affect its results of operations.

 

NOTE 8. Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Accounting Standard Codification ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires use of the liability method. ASC 740 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.

 

As of November 30, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $1,249,736 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2033. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards. Net operation losses will begin to expire in 2030.

 

Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at November 30, 2013 and 2012:

		2013		2012
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forward		$  1,249,736		$        249,666
Total deferred tax assets		$     437,408		87,383
Less: valuation allowance		(437,408)		(87,383)
Net deferred tax assets		$                   -		$                   -

 

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of November 30, 2013 was $437,408, as compared to $87,383 as of November 30, 2012. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:

 

U.S federal statutory rate (35.0%)

Valuation reserve 35.0%

Total -%

 

At November 30, 2013, we had an unused net operating loss carryover approximating $1,249,736 that is available to offset future taxable income which expires beginning 2030.

 

NOTE 9 ABANDONMENT OF FARMING OPERATIONS

 

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the Company substantially completed the modular distillation unit (MDU), and abandoned the farming operations. The loss from ceasing the farming operation is $503,533.

 

NOTE 10 – Contributed Capital

 

The Company has received $15,000 as a loan from a non - related third party. The loan is unsecured, payable on demand and non-interest bearing. The loan was received on 03/01/2011 in the amount of $15,000. Effective March 19, 2013, the debt was exchanged for warrants to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of common $.001 par value stock at $1.00 per share after March 19, 2014 and before March 19, 2017. For Financial reporting, the exchange is recorded as a capital contribution of $890,000, and warrants expense of $875,000; common stock is not issued until the warrants are exercised, fully diluted earnings (loss) per share include those exercisable by warrant.

 

NOTE 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company's management has evaluated all the recently issued accounting pronouncements through the filing date of these financial statements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

 

NOTE 12. Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 10, 2014, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013.

 

 

a. Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

We earned $5,000 in revenues since our inception through November 30, 2013. These revenues represent the sale of 5,000 pounds of Jerusalem Artichoke Seeds at $1.00 per pound. These seeds came from a Jerusalem Artichoke planting that took place in Colorado last growing season. This sale represents the entire crop available for sale, as the balance of the crop was lost due to an early season heat wave.

 

For the three months ending November 30, 2013, we experienced a net loss of $(111,038) as compared to a net loss of $(54,137) for the same period last year. The net loss for the three months ending November 30, 2013 consisted of general and administrative expenses of $89,054, interest expense of 5,984, and consulting fees of $16,000. Our auditor issued an opinion that our financial condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Expenses

 

For the three month period ending November 30, 2013, the Company experienced general and administrative expenses of $89,054 as compared to $54,137 for the same period last year. For the three month period ending November 30, 2013, the Company experienced consulting fees of $16,000 as compared to $8,000 for the same period last year. For the three month period ending November 30, 2013, the Company experienced interest expense of $5,984 as compared to $0 for the same period last year. These expenses represented increased start-up costs as the Company begins its business operations. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we build our operations.

 

Since the Company's inception, on August 26, 2010, the Company had a net loss of $(2,502,736).

 

Going Concern

 

The financial statements included with this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets business. As of November 30, 2013, the Company has recognized $5,000 in revenues and has accumulated operating losses of approximately $2,502,736 since inception. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company. Amounts raised will be used to further development of the Company's products, to provide financing for marketing and promotion, to secure additional property and equipment, and for other working capital purposes. While the Company is putting forth its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Management believes, if it can begin selling its MDU in fiscal year 2013-2014, the Company will be able to generate profit during the coming year. Management believes that revenue from MDU sales will most likely exceed any anticipated expenses for the coming year.

 

The Company's need for capital may change dramatically if it can generate additional revenues from its operations. In the event the Company requires additional funds, the Company will have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. There are no assurances additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms.

 

Summary of any product research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan of operation.

 

 JA Energy plans manufacture and sell the Modular Distillation Units (MDU) which will convert blackstrap molasses into ethanol. The Modular Distillation Unit has been designed and a prototype has been built. The Company does not anticipate performing any additional significant MDU research and development under our current plan of operation. The prototype MDU is recorded as an asset on the November 30, 2013 balance sheet, at $ 216,851.

 

On October 25, 2013 we filed Patent Application Docket No. 0348730-PROV2 for a second-generation Modular Distillation Unit, formally known as “Method of Producing Fuel and Modular Distillation Unit.” The newly designed MDU has significant modifications and additional accessories compared to the previous model. The following is a brief description of each of the design changes:

 

1. Dual shipping container configuration – The expanded system now requires two 40’X8’ conex

boxes to house additional tanks and equipment. The boxes are to be installed side by side

with a 36’’ wide by 6’-8’’ tall man opening between the two boxes.

 

2. Piping and Hoses – Modular piping, valve, and piping racks have been designed to

accommodate quicker assembly of the units. Individual racks will be assembled with quick

connect hoses, control valves, and pumps then moved into place within the MDU for quick

installation.

 

3. Installation Rails – Steel slide rails are provided on one side and the ceiling of each of the

containers. The modular support racks quickly tie into the rails. With the support racks locked

in place with the support rails the racks now act as tank support and lockdown.

 

4. Distiller – The distiller has been reduced in size and volume and provided with 4 cracking

towers instead of 3. In addition the tank is now provided with a copper wire mesh screen

below the coil, a copper evaporative plate located above the coil, and a stainless steel

distribution header. The copper evaporative plate improves the flow of the ethanol production

from the distiller tank. The plate has dimples and small 1/16th diameter holes and larger

openings below each of the cracking towers. The lid lifting handle has also been improved to

where it can be folded out of the way of foot traffic when the lid is closed. The tank lid will also

be provided with improved lockdown clamps.

 

5. Cooling system – A closed loop chilled water system is now a part of the unit. With a small (1

ton) air cooled chiller the closed loop will cool down the cracking towers and tower condensers

with more efficiency and controllability. Additionally the system will provided cooling to the

pasteurization system as described in item #6. The new cooling system significantly

decreases water usage.

 

6. Water – A pasteurization system has been added which ensures all of the tanks to be free of

contamination. Source water provided to the MDU will either flow through a flat plate

exchanger or pass through a coil located in the stillage tank to increase the temperature of the

water from 65F to 180F at a minimum. Once the water is heated is passed through a filtration

system and then cooled back down prior to feeding the fermentation process.

 

7. Tank cleaning – A control valve has been added at the pasteurization system where 180F

water can be diverted to each of the fermentation tanks at 50 gallons at time to sanitize the

tanks via rotary unions and spinning spray arms prior to the fermentation process.

 

8. Rigid piping systems – The closed loop heating system piping has been changed from a

conventional sweat fitting system to a pro-fit system which increases assembly time and

eliminates leaks due to poor workmanship. The closed loop cooling system will also be a profit

system. Pro-fit® is a product of NIBCO.

 

9. Distiller distribution – The previous MDU was equipped with a 1,000 psi pump that provided

fermentation to the misting ring located within the distiller tank. This has been removed and

replaced with a standard pressure feed pump and stainless steel header located at one end of

the copper evaporative plate.

 

Patent Application No. 61/909,919, Ref. No. 0348730-PROV3 for the MEG, formally known as “Electrical Generation System, Method of Producing Electrical Energy, And Manufacturing An Electrical Generation System” was filed on November 27, 2013. The Modular Electric Generator (MEG) uses proven technologies to generate base load electricity to supply local energy needs. We expect to begin manufacturing and shipping units in 2014. Like the MDU, our MEG can be dropped anywhere in the world. Stated simply, the MEG consists of a single heating unit that fires a bank of five heat differential engines, each capable of driving a 10kW generator. Each unit is housed in a standard 20’ shipping container that includes an onboard chiller to increase efficiency.

 

MEGs can be deployed singly to produce 50kW of power or in series where more capacity is needed, producing energy in multiples of 50kW. The MEG is quiet enough to place next to a hotel, and environmentally clean enough to operate even inside a building. It can be powered by a wide variety of fuels, making it usable in both developed and developing countries. Significant research and development will be performed as the MEG prototype is built this year and brought online.

 

We are developing other energy systems to complement the MDU and the MEG, such as concentrated solar power (CSP) and biodiesel production. Multiple products are now in development and will be systematically brought online as each is ready. These and other systems now in development will require significant research and development as they are brought to market.

 

Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment

 

With the exception of Modular Distillation Units, we do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at this time.

 

Significant changes in the number of employees

 

As of November 30, 2013, we have three employees total, all full-time. As we gear up for MDU production we will add approximately ten employees. When MEG production begins, that number will grow to as many as twenty.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of November 30, 2013 the Company has current assets of $3,555 and current liabilities of $591,607. As of November 30, 2013, the Company’s total assets were $235,072 and total liabilities of $602,052. The Company is authorized to issue 70,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock and 5,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value preferred stock. As of November 30, 2013, the Company has 38,402,385 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

 

The Company has limited financial resources available, which has had an adverse impact on the Company's liquidity, activities and operations. These limitations have adversely affected the Company's ability to obtain certain projects and pursue additional business. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. In order for the Company to remain a Going Concern it will need to find additional capital. Additional working capital may be sought through additional debt or equity private placements, additional notes payable to banks or related parties (officers, directors or stockholders), or from other available funding sources at market rates of interest, or a combination of these. The ability to raise necessary financing will depend on many factors, including the nature and prospects of any business to be acquired and the economic and market conditions prevailing at the time financing is sought. No assurances can be given that any necessary financing can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.

 

JA Energy Funding Requirements

 

JA Energy needs funding to fully execute its business plan. JA Energy will require at least $1.5 million to acquire other business opportunities, market its services, and build a client base. Future funding could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets. This could materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Any future acquisitions of other businesses, technologies, services or products might require the Company to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and such financing, if available, might be dilutive.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue from product sales once all of the following criteria for revenue recognition have been met: pervasive evidence that an agreement exists; the services have been rendered; the fee is fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and collection of the amount due is reasonable assured.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

Management has evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements through November 25, 2013 and concluded that they will not have a material effect on the financial statements as of November 30, 2013.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), 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 rules and forms adopted by the SEC, 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.

 

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the "material weaknesses" described below under "Management's report on internal control over financial reporting," which are in the process of being remediated as described below under "Management Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses."

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and affected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. 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 our assets;

 

·         provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our Board of Directors; and

 

·         provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Further, over time control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2013. In making its assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on its assessment, management has concluded that we had certain control deficiencies described below that constituted material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of August 31, 2013.

 

A "material weakness" is defined under SEC rules as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company's internal controls. As a result of management's review of the investigation issues and results, and other internal reviews and evaluations that were completed after the end of quarter related to the preparation of management's report on internal controls over financial reporting required for this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, management concluded that we had material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following:

 

1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and

 

2) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

We do not believe the material weaknesses described above caused any meaningful or significant misreporting of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

Management Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses

 

Management is pursuing the implementation of corrective measures to address the material weaknesses described below. In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

 

We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. We plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.

 

We believe the remediation measures described above will remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to diligently and vigorously review our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
