Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
1. Summary of Business and Basis of Presentation
 
Organization and Business
 
US Highland, Inc. was originally formed as a Limited Liability Company on February 5, 1999 under the name The Powerhouse, L.L.C. pursuant to the laws of the State of Oklahoma. On November 9, 2006, Powerhouse Productions, L.L.C. filed Articles of Conversion changing the entity from a limited liability company to a corporation under the name Harcom Productions, Inc. On January 25, 2010, Articles of Merger were filed with the state of Oklahoma merging U.S. Highland, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation into Harcom Productions, Inc. and the name of the corporation was changed to US Highland, Inc. US Highland, Inc. (the “Company”) is a recreational power sports Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), developing motorcycles, quads, single cylinder engines, and v-twin engines under its own brand and for other OEMs.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, US Highlands Electric Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
 
Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and the financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year’s results. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
 
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K filed on May 6, 2014 (the “2013 Annual Report”).
 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2013 Annual Report.
 
Going concern
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going-concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and as of March 31, 2014, current liabilities exceed current assets by $28,898,380, and the Company has an accumulated deficit of $84,082,551. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain adequate funding to support its operations through continuing investments of debt and/or equity by qualified investors/creditors, and internally generated working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

4.  Convertible Debentures
 
a)
Effective January 25, 2010, the Company issued a convertible note for $225,000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan was unsecured, non-interest bearing, and was due on December 21, 2010. The note was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a variable conversion price equal to 65% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock during the 28 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice and was subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments. Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion option qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the derivative liability of $538,249 resulted in a full discount to the note payable of $225,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $313,249.
 
 
On June 2, 2010, the Company issued 6,386 restricted shares of common stock upon the conversion of the principal amount of $166,667. The fair value of the derivative liability at June 2, 2010, was $266,425 and $197,352 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon conversion. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repaid $2,000 of the note. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the note was $56,333.

The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a price of $0.035. The note bears interest at 8% per annum compounded monthly, and is due on demand.
 
 
The embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the conversion feature of $577,797 resulted in a discount to the note payable of $75,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $502,797. As the note is due on demand the entire discount was recorded as interest expense on July 25, 2013 as the note is due on demand.

The embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the conversion feature of $346,678 resulted in a discount to the note payable of $45,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $301,678. As the note is due on demand the entire discount was recorded as interest expense on July 25, 2013 as the note is due on demand.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $500,000 under the note. The note bears interest at 8% per annum compounded monthly, and principal and interest are due on July 31, 2014. In addition, so long as any amountsare due hereunder, the Company is obligated to remit to the lender 100% of all revenues, payments and receivables from the sale of the first 50 engines sold by the Company. The note is secured against substantially all of the assets of the Company.
 
 
The note may be prepaid by the Company without penalty with 30 days prior notice. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a conversion price equal to $0.02 per share and is subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments and other events.

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on various assumptions. The model incorporates the price of a share of the Company’s common stock (as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forwardlooking information includes statements relating to future actions, prospective products, future performance or results of current or anticipated products, sales and marketing efforts, costs and expenses, interest rates, outcome of contingencies, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, business strategies, cost savings, objectives of management, and other matters. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these similar terms. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking information to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves without fear of litigation so long as that information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the information.
 
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including the following: (a) those risks and uncertainties related to general economic conditions, (b) whether we are able to manage our planned growth efficiently and operate profitable operations, (c) whether we are able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain financing to sustain and grow our operations, (d) whether we are able to successfully fulfill our primary requirements for cash, which are explained below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required under the applicable federal securities laws.
 
Results of Operations
 
For the periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013
 
Revenues
 
The Company had no revenues during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 were $378,142, which was comprised primarily of $159,793 for general and administrative expenses, and $215,727 for professional fees as compared to operating expenses of $3,215,130 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, which was comprised primarily of $160,596 for general and administrative expenses, and $3,051,973 for professional fees. General and administrative expenses were consistent for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The decrease in professional fees of $2,836,246 resulted primarily from the issuance of a warrant to a consultant to purchase common shares, which was recorded at a fair value of $2,599,801. The Company did not issue any warrants for services provided during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The only warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were to settle amounts owing from the previous fiscal year. The remaining decrease was a result of a decrease in operations.

Net Loss
 
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was $1,121,418, compared to net loss of $3,808,786 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. The income in 2014 includes $190,979 in interest expense as compared to $7,657 in 2013. The increase of $183,322 related to interest recorded for convertible debentures outstanding during the period ended March 31, 2014 that were not outstanding during the comparative period. The Company recognized $165,723 of accretion during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company recognized a gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $1,690,434 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to a loss on change in fair value of derivatives of $588,212 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2014, we had cash of $100,555 and a working capital deficiency of $28,898,380. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing, upon cash generated from our operations and our ability to borrow cash when needed from related parties. During the fiscal period ended March 31, 2014, the Company received $331,000 of proceeds for the issuance notes payable. We estimated that we will require $2,188,000 over the twelve month period ending March 31, 2015. The Company has $980,000 of convertible notes outstanding for which principal and interest is due on July 31, 2014. These notes are further described in Note 4 of the financial statements.
 
Management believes that our cash balance will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. We plan to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirement for the next twelve months primarily through equity and or debt financings. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements.
 
We cannot be certain that the required additional financing will be available or available on terms favorable to us. We currently do not have any arrangements or commitments in place for any other financings. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of our securities, existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our operations.
 
During the three month period ended March 31, 2014, we used $273,489 in cash in operating activities and did not use any cash for investing activities. This compares to the three month period ended March 31, 2013 when we used $180,399 in cash in operating activities. We received proceeds of $331,000 from the issuance of notes payable during the three month period ending March 31, 2014 and $228,500 from the issuance of common stock during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
 
As of March 31, 2014 we did not have any established lines of credit with any banks or any other arrangements, agreements, or commitments for financing our operations.
 
Going Concern
 
The Company has no revenues and has incurred net losses. In addition, at March 31, 2014, there is an accumulated deficit of $84,082,551. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or available from external sources such as debt or equity financings, or other potential sources. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources will force the Company to substantially curtail and cease operations, therefore, having a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any funds, if available, will possess attractive terms or not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.
 
Off-balance sheet arrangements:
 
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Recent Pronouncements
 
Management does not anticipate that any new accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of March 31, 2014, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
 
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
 
Management has implemented internal controls to ensure that its quarterly reports and annual reports are filed with the SEC on a timely basis. Management has retained the services of a new accounting firm, as well as an auditing firm specializing in public companies and a strong reputation in the auditing community. We have also hired a highly qualified financial consultant with extensive experience with public companies in the manufacturing industry. This newly implemented three tier process ties the Company’s bookkeeping activities with a full service accounting firm that handles all financial reporting activities and the Company’s interface with the selected auditing firm.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
 
During the quarter covered by this report there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than as described above.
 
The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant's 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 generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
(a)
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;
 
(b)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
 
(c)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
 
On May 13, 2014, the company sent a letter to John Fitzpatrick, III, CEO and president of the company, informing Mr. Fitzpatrick that his employment agreement was being terminated in accordance with its terms. The company further informed Mr. Fitzpatrick that he will maintain his current position and title with the company on at-will basis. Notwithstanding, upon receipt of the letter Mr. Fitzpatrick informed the company that he would not be continuing in his position.
 
The company also notified an engineer of the company that his agreement was being terminated, and such employee informed the company that he will be instituting legal proceedings against the company in the amount of $68,000 for wrongful termination of his agreement and severance due.
 
In both instances the company informed the employees that their respective employment agreements were being terminated in accordance with the terms of such agreements, which provide for 30-day notice prior to the anniversary date of the agreements. Accordingly, the company was within its rights to send such notices and intends to defend these potential matters vigorously.
