EVOLUCIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2014
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Evolucia Inc. (“Evolucia”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”) was formed in 2007 through a reverse merger whereby the Company acquired Sun Energy Solar, Inc., our accounting predecessor, which developed energy-efficient technologies in solar energy and infrared. The Company has exited the solar and infrared businesses. The Company’s solar subsidiary, Sunovia Solar, Inc. has not had operations since June 2010 and is not anticipated to have operations in the foreseeable future.

Evolucia is in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures.  Evolucia also maintains a portfolio of various LED lighting patents.  Our business focuses primarily on the design and development of our patented Aimed LED Lighting™ technology that demonstrates that less overall light is needed if the light is correctly focused on the target area.

We have identified an immediate opportunity, particularly in the outdoor lighting market, to supply high quality energy-efficient lighting solutions through our patented technology.  We have developed several LED lighting products, primarily for the outdoor lighting industry, that utilize our Aimed Optics™ technology that we sell directly to customers and through a network of manufacturer’s representatives in the U.S. and other countries. In addition, the Company has other lighting products that do not utilize the Aimed Optics™ technology that complement the Company’s portfolio and provide lighting solutions for other areas, such as parking garages. We continue to develop and refine our products to serve the market and are actively pursuing alliances and strategies that will allow us to drive down the production cost of our products.

We also continue developing and reengineering our patents.  We have identified the need to continue to reduce costs to be able to offer a competitive product to our customers.  This requires an ongoing review of our patents and how to improve the technology and costs associated with the product.  We have also recently engaged DLA Piper to assist the Company in maximizing our potential licensing revenues as well as protecting our intellectual property.

U
Basis of Consolidation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated.   In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for and as of the periods shown.  

Basis of presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.  However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for 2014 or for any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts for the period ended March 31, 2013, have been reclassified in the comparative financial statements to be comparable to the presentation for the period ended March 31, 2014. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss as previously reported.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate principally to the adequacy of our inventory allowances, our deferred income tax assets, derivative financial instruments and stock based compensation.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that the Company’s estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers based upon a written credit policy.  Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate for the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable.  The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.  Receivable balances are reviewed on an aged basis and account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not require collateral on accounts receivable.

The Company determined an allowance for uncollectible accounts was not required at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  

Inventory

Inventory consists of various electronic and other components used in the assembly of LED lighting fixtures.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

Inventory consists of the following:
 
   
March 31, 2014
   
December 31, 2013
 
Materials and components
  $ 1,647,898     $ 2,107,145  
Inventory reserve
    (1,375,000 )     (1,375,000 )
    $ 272,898     $ 732,145  
 
At December 31, 2013, the Company established a reserve of $1,375,000 for the possible effects of the Company’s restructuring of its operations. Management evaluated the reserve at March 31, 2014 and determined no adjustment is needed as of March 31, 2014.

Share-Based Payments

ASC 718, Stock Compensation requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the grant date fair value of the award.
 
We record the grant date fair value of stock-based compensation awards as an expense over the vesting period of the related stock options.  In order to determine the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant, we use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Inherent in this model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, option life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.  Although the risk-free interest rates and dividend yield are less subjective assumptions, typically based on factual data derived from public sources, the expected stock-price volatility, forfeiture rate and option life assumptions require a greater level of judgment which makes them critical accounting estimates.
 
 
7

 
 
We use an expected stock price volatility assumption that is based on historical volatilities of our common stock and we estimate the forfeiture rate and option life based on historical data related to prior option grants, as we believe such historical data will be similar to future results.

Loss Per Share
   
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.   Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method.  Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded. The total number of shares not included in the calculation at March 31, 2014 and 2013, because they were anti-dilutive, was approximately 414,600,000 and 321,100,000, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.  Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

The Warrants issued in our 2013 private placement and in conjunction with our October 28, 2013 financing are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using unobservable inputs including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.  Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Warrants included the probability that the Warrant holders will exercise their put option and require the Company to redeem the Warrants for cash and an estimate of the put price if the Warrant holder exercises their put option.  Generally an increase (decrease) in the probability of the put option being exercised or the estimated put price would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of derivative warrants are reported as “Change in fair value of derivative instruments, net" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The reconciliation of our derivative liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of March 31, 2014 is as follows:

Beginning balance, January 1, 2014
  $ 1,305,298  
Cancelled Derivative warrants
    (680,647 )
Total (gains) or losses included in earnings
    (270,166 )
Ending balance, March 31, 2014
  $ 354,485  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes and debentures payable, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
 
 
8

 
 
The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms.

NOTE B – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred net losses of $1,704,683 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and have working capital and stockholder deficits of $4,330,216 and $10,060,482 at March 31, 2014.

Management intends to continue to finance operations through debt and equity as well as to seek potential acquisitions that have positive cash flows; however, there can be no assurance of successful financing or acquisition activity in the future.

The Company may incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and there can be no guarantee that we will be successful securing funding. In the event we are unable to fund our operations by positive operating cash flows or additional funding, we will be forced to reduce our expenses and may have to cease operations. During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who was also the Chief Financial Officer, resigned. In addition, the company is restructuring its organization for greater efficiencies, and is aggressively pursuing sale opportunities, which continue to present themselves to the company. The company is working with distributors and end users in order to maximize potential sales. As a result of the Company scaling back current operations, substantially all of the Company’s employees were terminated.  The Company will continue to rely on its relationship with its partner, Leader Electronics, Inc., and optimize its strong industry relationship as it continues to concentrate on its legacy Aimed Optics™ products.  It will also continue to supports its development, reengineering, and building its current patent portfolio, which includes the continuing effort to reduce costs in an effort to become a more affordable option in the industry.
 
Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE C - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Common Stock

During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 7,412,057 shares to employees as compensation.  The fair value of the shares based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock was $66,052, which was charged to operations.
 
During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 8,016,541 shares to former employees to settle unpaid compensation. The fair value of the shares based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock was $69,629, which was charged to operations.

 
During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 81,062,535 shares to several consultants for services. The fair value of the shares based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock was $810,625, which was charged to operations.

 During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 2,020,000 shares to a note holder to satisfy the outstanding debt.
 
During the period ended March 31, 2014, 10,000,000 shares were returned to the Company for no consideration and were cancelled.
 
 
9

 
 
Shares of common stock issued for services are valued at the trading price of the Company’s common stock at the time the services are agreed to.
 
At December 31, 2013, the Company’s outstanding common shares and its commitments to issue common shares, excluding warrants valued as derivative obligations, exceeded the number of common shares authorized by approximately 95,000,000 shares. The fair value of these shares of $840,000 was reclassified to a liability at December 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s outstanding common shares and its commitment to issue common shares, excluding warrants valued as derivative obligations, exceeded the number of common shares by 170,055,383 shares. The fair value of these shares of $840,000 has been reclassified as a liability at March 31, 2014.

NOTE D - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Manufacturing, development and investment agreement

LEI

On July 12, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a manufacturing, development and investment agreement with Leader Electronics, Inc. (“LEI”).
 
Pursuant to the agreement, LEI will (i) collaborate in the next generation design of the Company’s Products, (ii) design and implement LEI power supplies into the Products as provided in the Specifications, (iii) invest $1,000,000 in the Company, (iv) lease for the Company’s use equipment representing a value of $2,000,000 which will include manufacturing, test and product equipment and tooling mentioned below to be more specifically identified by the parties, (v) manufacture the Products (A) at a 10% discount to the market rate against non-cancellable purchase orders from the Company for one year following the initial purchase orders and thereafter at a 5% discount to the market rate until $8,000,000 in discounts have been earned by the Company and (B) provide working capital to manufacture all Products with net payment terms of 45 days, (vi) LEI will acquire all needed tooling, and (vii) serve as an exclusive distributor for the Asia Territory.

In addition, the Company will (i) appoint LEI as the exclusive manufacturer for the Products sold in the Asia Territory, (ii) appoint LEI as an exclusive distributor for the Asia Territory and (iii) provide non-cancellable and irrevocable stand-by Letters of Credit for the benefit of LEI prior to the shipment of Product or provide payment for the Product prior to shipment.

LEI purchased 12,500,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.  In the event the Company does not place orders for the Products within five years from the Effective Date (the “Order Date”), then LEI will be entitled to sell to the Company the lesser of (i) Shares it has not resold as of the Order Date or (ii) the portion of Shares representing the amount of Products that the Company has not ordered.  For example, in the event the Company has placed orders for 80% of the Products, then LEI will be entitled to sell back to the Company as of the Order Date the lesser of the number of Shares that have not been resold by LEI or 20% of the Shares. The per share price will be $0.08.  LEI invested the $1,000,000 on July 20, 2012 and this investment has been classified as a liability in the Company’s financial statements because of the contingency related to the share repurchase agreement.

SETE

On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with Sunovia Energy Technologies Europe Sp. z o.o. (SETE), a Polish corporation which is unaffiliated with the Company. The agreement called for the payment of $11 million to Evolucia by August 31, 2013, which has not been received, in exchange for the manufacture and distribution rights to specified European markets.  Under the joint venture agreement, a new entity called Evolucia Europe Sp. z o.o. will be created, with Evolucia Inc. holding a 51% ownership share and SETE holding the remaining 49% ownership.  The joint venture agreement provides exclusive manufacturing rights to Evolucia Europe for the European markets. We have had no recent correspondence and expect to formally terminate the relationship in the near future.  The $11 million payment has not been made and the Company is presently negotiating a resolution and/or restructuring with SETE.

Litigation   
 
The Company is defending a lawsuit brought by a supplier of a component part of its LED lighting fixtures. The suit alleges that the Company owes a re-stocking fee of approximately $100,000 for the return of certain parts. The Company believes it has substantial defenses to this suit and intends to vigorously defend it. The lawsuit is in the early stages of pleadings, and the outcome is uncertain. No significant legal fees have been incurred in this case to date.
 
Through December 31, 2013, the Company made advances to Affineon Lighting aggregating $636,000 for Affineon to purchase inventory. These advances were to be repaid upon sale of Affineon’s products, however no amounts were repaid. The Company is attempting to collect the advances but has reserved the entire balance at December 31, 2013, and March 31, 2014. In addition, the Company’s former Principal Accounting Officer has been appointed as the Principal Executive Officer at Affineon subsequent to his terminating his employment with the Company. The Company is uncertain as to what additional actions, if any, it will take against Affineon or its former Principal Accounting Officer.

The Company’s Board is reviewing certain vendors, financial obligations, stock based compensation arrangements and contractual obligations committed to by its former Principal Accounting Officer, former Chief Executive Officer and other former employees. The Company’s Board is uncertain as to what additional actions, if any, it will take.

The Company has determined that there may be instances where certain shares of common stock issued pursuant to a Form S-8 were issued in violation of certain provisions of the use of Form S-8. In addition, the Company has been informed by one of its note holders that $50,000 of proceeds received pursuant to a private placement were not authorized by the note holder to be released from escrow. The Company’s board is investigating these items.
 
NOTE E - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Our operating results may be affected by a number of factors.  The Company depends upon a number of major inventory and intellectual property suppliers.  Presently, the Company does not have formal arrangements with any supplier.  In the future, if the Company is unable to obtain satisfactory supplier relationships, or a critical supplier has operational problems, or cease making material available, operations could be adversely affected.

Concentrations

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 75% of sales to two customers and 63% of sales to one customer, respectively, which sales individually represented in excess of 10% of the Company’s total sales.

At March 31, 2014, approximately 92% of net accounts receivable was due from two customers and, at December 31, 2013, 63% of net accounts receivable was due from one customer.

NOTE F – STOCK OPTIONS
 
On May 1, 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (“the Plan”) designed to retain directors, employees, executives and consultants and reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company. The Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders in November 2010. The following is a summary of the Plan and does not purport to be a complete description of all of its provisions.
 
 
11

 
 
The Plan is administered by the board of directors. The plan does not have any individual caps other than the limitation of granting incentive stock options to employees and the exercise of no more than $100,000 per year in fair market value of stock per year per employee. The Plan permits the grant of restricted stock and non-statutory options to participants where appropriate. The maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan is 30,000,000. The Plan will terminate ten years from the date it was adopted. The board of directors may, as permitted by law, modify the terms of any grants under the Plan, and also amend, suspend, or extend the Plan itself.

In addition, the Board is authorized to issue options outside of the plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted options to employees, consultants and officers to purchase 31,175,000 common shares at exercise prices of $0.01 to $0.04 per share for a period of five years and which vest immediately. The fair value of the options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 1.0% to 2.0%, expected volatility of 120% and expected lives of five years.  No dividends were assumed in the calculations. The fair value of the options aggregated $265,827 of which $265,827 was charged to operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, an aggregate of $326,462 was charged to operations related to options granted during prior years.

At March 31, 2014, there was an aggregate of $1,728,074 of unrecognized expense related to stock options that vest in future periods. A summary of stock options is as follows:

9% convertible notes

On June 10, 2011, the Company completed an offering to 10 existing shareholders of 9% convertible notes (the “Notes”), maturing on July 1, 2012, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. Interest on the Notes is payable on the earlier of the Notes’ conversion to common stock or the maturity date. The Notes were originally convertible at a conversion price of $0.06 per share. The Notes are secured by a lien on all of the assets of the Company.
 
During March and April 2012, holders of an aggregate of $900,000 in principal of the Notes restructured their Notes by extending the maturity date to July 1, 2013. In connection with that extension, each of these holders converted 50% of the principal amount of their Notes to common stock at $0.01 per share, which was the trading price of the shares on the conversion date. The Company modified the terms of all the remaining debt to allow conversion at $0.01 per share and to increase the interest rate to 10% per annum. The Company issued an aggregate of 45,000,000 shares of common stock to the holders of the Notes for the conversion of $450,000 of the principal to common stock. After conversion, $550,000 of the principal amount of the Notes remained outstanding. In connection with the modification and conversion of the Notes, the Company recorded a debt conversion inducement expense of $300,000, reflecting the cost of reducing the conversion price from $0.06 to $0.01 per share.
 
 
12

 
 
In 2013, $300,000 of the remaining Notes, together with accrued interest of $80,237, were converted into the offering of 14% notes payable described in Note H below. A further $100,000 of the Notes were repaid in cash.  An additional $100,000 of the Notes, together with accrued interest thereon of $27,028, were converted into common shares which were valued at the current market price of $0.01 per share; the company issued 12,702,740 shares to convert the balance of $127,028 to common stock. In conjunction with this conversion the Company recorded a charge of $83,000 related to the reduction of the conversion price of the debt.  During the period ended March 31, 2014, the remaining $50,000 of the Notes, together with accrued interest of $20,042, was converted into the 8% convertible notes described below.

8% convertible notes

In October 2013, the Company began offering a maximum of $10,000,000 of 8% secured convertible notes on a best efforts basis. Each note is convertible by the holder at a conversion price of $0.01 per share, subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock to permit conversion. The notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable at maturity in either cash or common stock, and are due 36 months from the issuance dates. The Notes are secured by the assets of the Company and may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without the consent of the holder. Through March 31, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of $500,000 pursuant to this private placement.  In addition, the holders of $290,641 of the 10% notes payable described in Note H below exchanged their notes for the 8% convertible notes.   Holders of $2,080,237 of the 14% notes payable described in Note H below exchanged their notes, together with accrued interest of $228,606, for the 8% convertible notes.

10% notes payable

From December 2009 through December 2010, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $828,968 from certain shareholders. The borrowings were evidenced by notes which bear interest at 10% per annum and which were due between 12 months and 24 months from the date of issuance. During 2010, 2011 and 2012, $265,000 of the borrowings were repaid and $563,968 remained outstanding at December 31, 2012. In March 2012, the holders of the outstanding notes agreed to extend the due date of the notes to July 1, 2013. In 2013, a further $65,000 was repaid.  The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2013 was $498,968.

In February 2014, holders of 10% notes payable with an outstanding principal balance totaling $290,642 chose to roll their outstanding balances into PPM #2.  The restructuring was within the scope of ASC 470-60-55 Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructuring, which states that if a Company is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession is granted, troubled debt restructuring accounting should be applied. The Company has concluded that it is experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor has granted a concession as the effective borrowing rate for the restructured debt is less than the effective rate of the 10% notes payable prior to the restructuring. No gain or loss was recognized because the total cash outflows required under the restructured debt were greater than the carrying amount of the debt prior to the restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the debt was used to calculate interest expense over the remaining term of the restructured debt.
 
14% notes payable

On November 27, 2012, the Company initiated the sale of up to $5,000,000 of 14% Callable Promissory Notes (PPM #1 Notes) in a private placement memorandum (PPM) offering made pursuant to Regulation D to accredited investors only. The Notes are secured by the assets of the company, subject to the security interests of the 9% convertible notes (see Note G) and the Purchase Order Lines of Credit (See Note I).
 
 
13

 
 
The PPM #1 Notes were offered in Units of $50,000 each. PPM #1 is subject to a minimum sale of 40 Units ($2,000,000) and a maximum of 100 Units. The PPM #1 Notes mature in 36 months. Interest accrues for the first 12 months and is payable monthly starting in month 13. Principal plus accrued interest is payable in month 36. Each Unit includes a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “2013 Warrants”) to purchase 2,395,542 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.025 per share. Through December 31, 2013, the Company sold 55.5 units for aggregate proceeds of $2,774,950. The Company closed on the sale of those units between April 2013 and August 2013.  As of March 31, 2014, the total outstanding principal and accrued interest on the PPM #1 Notes was $1,230,992 and $155,742, respectively.

The PPM #1 Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.025 per share on a cash basis only, subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock or implementing a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock to provide for the issuance of all shares of common stock upon exercise of all PPM #1 Warrants issued.  In the event the Company closes a Capital Transaction (as defined below) and the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares in order for the Warrant holder to exercise the Warrants, the Warrant holder may, by notice to the Company (a "Put Notice"), elect to sell to the Company, at the Repurchase Price (as defined below) all or such number of the Warrants held by the holder then outstanding as is specified in the Put Notice. Capital Transaction means any of the following: (i) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any single transaction or series of related transactions; (ii) any transfer or other disposition in any single transaction or series of related transactions of the Company’s common stock representing in excess of 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock or all of its subsidiary’s common stock; (iii) the closing of the Company’s underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale of shares of common stock in which not less than $30,000,000 of gross proceeds are received by the Company for the account of the Company; (iv) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or any of its material subsidiaries; or (v) a merger or consolidation of the Company or any of its material subsidiaries in which the Company or such material subsidiary, as applicable, is not the surviving entity. The Repurchase Price per share means the difference of (i) the quotient of the purchase price paid in connection with the Capital Transaction divided by the number of shares outstanding as of the date of the Capital Transaction plus the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of all Warrants subject to a Put Notice plus all other shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of other derivative securities as of the date of the Capital Transaction less the (ii) the exercise price.

Due to the put provision, as well as certain price ratchet provisions which may require net cash settlement and the lack of sufficient authorized shares, the PPM #1 Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815 because they did not meet the definition for financial instruments indexed to a company’s own stock. Accordingly, they required derivative liability accounting and measurement at fair value at inception and each subsequent reporting period.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, a portion of the accredited investors that participated in the PPM #1 offering agreed to exchange their PPM #1 securities, representing an aggregate of $2,308,843 in principal and accrued interest, and PPM #1 Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 99,665,910 shares of common stock, for 8% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Replacement Notes") with a face value of $2,308,843 (See Note G).  The Replacement Notes mature three years from the date of issuance and the Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock.  Interest is due and payable on the maturity date.  The Replacement Notes are secured by the assets of the Company and can be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without the consent of the holder.  
 
 
14

 
 
The Company considered whether the exchange of the PPM #1 Notes and PPM #1 Warrants was within the scope of ASC 470-60-55 Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructuring, which states that if a Company is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession is granted, troubled debt restructuring accounting should be applied. The Company has concluded that it is experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor has granted a concession as the effective borrowing rate for the restructured debt is less than the effective rate of the PPM #1 Notes prior to restructuring. ASC 470 requires that the effects of any sweeteners be considered when determining the cash flows for the restructured debt.  As such, the fair value of the cancelled PPM #1 Warrants of approximately $681,700 was considered when determining whether a concession had been granted.  Because the total cash outflows required under the restructured debt were greater than the carrying amount of the debt prior to the restructuring, no gain or loss was recognized and there was no adjustment to the carrying amount of the debt. Rather, the carrying amount of the debt will be used to calculate interest expense over the remaining term of the restructured debt so that any unamortized deferred costs from the original debt financing continue to be recognized as interest expense over the remaining term of the restructured debt. Subsequent to the restructurings, the effective interest rates on the debt ranged from approximately 32% to 47%.

15% note payable due to an affiliate

During 2013, a shareholder and director of the Company advanced an aggregate of $560,000 to the Company. These advances include $400,000, $100,000 and $60,000 cash advances. On October 28, 2013, the Company issued a $400,000 Promissory Note bearing interest at 15% as further discussed below. On January 7, 2014, the Company issued a Promissory Note for $560,000, which includes the $400,000 Promissory Note issued October 28, 2013 and the $60,000 advance in 2013. On January 7, 2014, the Company issued another Promissory Note, which included the $100,000 advance in 2013 noted above.

On October 28, 2013, the Company issued a $400,000 Promissory Note which bears interest at 15% per annum.  The Promissory Note is due and payable in full upon the earlier of i) December 31, 2013 or ii) an investment by Leader Electronics, Inc., or its affiliates, in Evolucia, Inc. or iii) upon the maker raising capital pursuant to its private offering of Secured Convertible Promissory Notes.  Any principal and interest not paid when due bears interest at 18% per annum from the due date to the date paid.  The Promissory Note is subject to various default provisions, and the occurrence of an event of default will cause the outstanding principal amount under the Promissory Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest to become immediately due and payable to the Holder. In January 2014, this Promissory Note was refinanced with a new Promissory Note maturing February 7, 2015 and bearing interest at 8%.
 
The October 28, 2013 promissory note was issued with Warrants to purchase 40,000,000 shares of common stock (the “October 2013 Warrants”). The October 2013 Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.01 per share on a cash basis only, subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock or implementing a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock to provide for the issuance of all shares of common stock upon exercise of the October 2013 Warrants. Due to the lack of sufficient authorized shares, the Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815.  Accordingly, they required derivative liability accounting and measurement at fair value at inception and each subsequent reporting period.
 
A summary of the allocation of proceeds related to the October 28, 2013 financing is provided below. Current accounting concepts generally provide that the allocation is made, first to the instruments that are required to be recorded at fair value; that is, the October 2013 Warrants, and the remainder to the Promissory Notes. The fair value of the October 2013 Warrants exceeded the proceeds which resulted in a day-one derivative loss. The discount from the face amount of the Promissory Notes represented by the value initially assigned to the October 2013 Warrant liabilities is amortized over the period to the due date of the Promissory Note, using the effective interest method.

By December 31, 2013, the Promissory note was due in full. As such, the discount of $400,000 on the Promissory Note was fully accreted and a charge of $400,000 was included in interest expense.

During the period ended March 31, 2014, a private investor, shareholder and director provided additional advances of $523,648. The Company entered into four Promissory notes related to these in addition to the $560,000 advances made in 2013 and $100,000 advances related to the line of credit. The Company entered into two Promissory Notes on January 7, 2014 for $593,062 and $500,000; a third Promissory Note was agreed to on March 18, 2014 in the amount of $60,000; and a fourth Promissory Note was agreed to on March 31, 2014 in the amount of $73,648. Each of these Promissory Notes bear interest at 12.5% and mature one year from date of agreement.

During the period ended March 31, 2014, a second private investor, shareholder and director provided additional advances of $102,500. The Company entered into a Promissory note related to $35,000 of these advance in 2014 combined with $10,000 advances in 2013 on March 14, 2014 in the amount of $45,000. The Promissory Note bears interest at 12.5% and mature one year from date of agreement.

9% note payable to former officer

During March 2013, the Company settled a dispute related to an employment contract with a former officer by issuing a note payable for $359,537, bearing interest at 9% per annum and due in April 2014. Interest accrued on this note at March 31, 2014 was $32,358.

A private investor, shareholder and director of the Company has made available to the Company a working capital and purchase order line of credit of $2.0 million, which was due during January 2014 and which may be increased at the investor’s discretion. In 2014, the private investor, shareholder and director of the Company extended the line of credit for one year. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The line of credit may be drawn to purchase components for orders (Purchase Orders) of the Company’s products approved by the investor and that are used to fulfill specific customer orders. For advances made for the purpose of funding Purchase Orders, the line is secured to the extent of the specific customer accounts receivables that are related to the Purchase Order upon which the advance was made. Advances made against Purchase Orders bear interest at an annual rate of 12.5% and the principal amount of the draws, plus accrued interest, must be repaid within three business days of receipt of payment from the customer.  Because interest is added to the line of credit, the outstanding balance may at times exceed $2.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, the investor made the entire line of credit available without restriction to the Company to use for both working capital purposes and for Purchase Orders. For that portion of the line of credit that is used for working capital purposes, the line of credit is unsecured and bears interest at an annual rate of 14.0%.
 
A second private investor, shareholder and director of the Company made available to the Company a purchase order line of credit of $750,000, which may be increased at the investor’s discretion and which, with the exception of $100,000 that was due in January, 2014, was due on demand. In 2014, the private investor, shareholder and director of the Company extended the line of credit for one year. The line of credit may be drawn to purchase components for orders (Purchase Orders) of the Company’s products approved by the investor.  The line of credit bears interest at an annual rate of 12.5% and draws and interest must be repaid within three business days of receipt of payment from the customer. The line of credit is secured to the extent of the specific customer accounts receivables that are related to the Purchase Order upon which the advance was made. In January 2014, $100,000 of this amount was refinanced under a new Promissory Note maturing February 7, 2015 and bearing interest at 8%.

The lines of credits as noted in Note M above have been extended one year to February 2015 with all other terms remaining the same.

NOTE J – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Due to the put features embedded in the PPM #1 Warrants, the Company concluded that the PPM #1 Warrants did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. Accordingly, the Warrants are subject to the classification and measurement standards for derivative financial instruments and require liability classification at fair value. Also, the Warrants issued in conjunction with the October 28, 2013 financing did not meet the conditions for equity classification and require liability classification at fair value.

The PPM #1 Warrants and the October 28, 2013 Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model which included certain assumptions, including the closing price of the underlying common stock, risk-free interest rates, volatility, expected dividend yield, expected life and, for the PPM #1 Warrants, the probability that the investors will require redemption of the PPM #1 Warrants due to the put provisions and the put price the Company would be required to pay upon exercise of the put. The option to put the PPM #1 Warrants back to the Company for cash is only available if the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares for the investors to exercise all their warrants and the Company enters into a capital transaction during the term of the Warrants. Management believes there is a minimal probability of this occurring and have assigned a probability of 5% that the Warrant holders will have the ability to exercise their put option. The put provisions associated with the PPM #1 Warrants were valued using a probability-weighting of put values based on management’s estimate of expected purchase prices.

Significant inputs and results arising from the lattice model are as follows for the Warrants classified in liabilities as of March 31, 2014:

Equivalent amounts are an output from the lattice model which reflects the net results of multiple modeling iterations that the lattice model applies to underlying assumptions.  For the risk-free rates of return, the Company used the published yields on zero-coupon Treasury Securities with maturities consistent with the remaining term of the warrants and volatility is based upon the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the remaining term.  Option-based techniques (such as lattice models) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the assumptions underlying the valuation of the derivative financial instruments. The principal assumptions that have, in the Company’s view, the most significant effects are the Company’s trading market prices, volatilities, the probability the investors will have the ability to exercise their put option and the put value if the option is exercised. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, our (income) loss will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
 
The following table reflects the changes in fair value of the PPM and October 2013 Warrants:

Ending balance, March 31, 2014
  $ 354,485  


The decrease in the fair value of the Warrants from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 was predominantly due to a decrease in the Company’s stock price.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Statements made in this Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation," and elsewhere in this 10-Q that do not consist of historical facts, are "forward-looking statements." Statements accompanied or qualified by, or containing words such as "may," "will," "should," "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "outlook," "forecast," "anticipates," "presume," and "assume" constitute forward-looking statements, and as such, are not a guarantee of future performance. The statements involve factors, risks and uncertainties, the impact or occurrence of which can cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in such statements. Risks and uncertainties can include, among others, fluctuations in general business cycles and changing economic conditions; changing product demand and industry capacity; increased competition and pricing pressures; advances in technology that can reduce the demand for the Company's products, as well as other factors, many or all of which may be beyond the Company's control. Consequently, investors should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements as predictive of future results. The Company disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this report.

You should read the following information in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this report. You should consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies, particularly those engaged in new and rapidly evolving markets and technologies. Our limited operating history provides only a limited historical basis to assess the impact that critical accounting policies may have on our business and our financial performance.

We encourage you to review our periodic reports filed with the SEC and included in the SEC’s Edgar database, including the annual report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Evolucia, Inc. (“Evolucia”, the “Company”, “we”, “our, “us”) is in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures.  Evolucia also maintains a portfolio of various LED lighting patents.  Our business focuses primarily on the design and development of our patented Aimed LED Lighting™ technology that demonstrates that less overall light is needed if the light is correctly focused on the target area.

We have identified an immediate opportunity, particularly in the outdoor lighting market, to supply high quality energy-efficient lighting solutions through our patented technology.  We have developed several LED lighting products, primarily for the outdoor lighting industry, that utilize our Aimed Optics™ technology that we sell directly to customers and through a network of manufacturer’s representatives in the U.S. and other countries. In addition, the Company has other lighting products that do not utilize the Aimed Optics™ technology that complement the Company’s portfolio and provide lighting solutions for other areas, such as parking garages. We continue to develop and refine our products to serve the market and are actively pursuing alliances and strategies that will allow us to drive down the production cost of our products.

We also continue developing and reengineering our patents.  We have identified the need to continue to reduce costs to be able to offer a competitive product to our customers.  This requires an ongoing review of our patents and an analysis with respect to improvements regarding the technology and costs associated with the product.  
 
The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates have applied for and obtained a number of patents in various technologies, particularly LED lighting and solar technologies.

On May 1, 2014, we engaged DLA Piper LLP to represent the Company in connection with its Intellectual Property.  The purpose of the engagement is to evaluate our patents, provide advice on portfolio development, identify potential litigation and licensing targets and protect the Company’s Intellectual Property.  A successful outcome would create an ongoing source of additional revenue stream through potential long term licensing agreements.

The Company had cash of $16,120 as of December 31, 2013 and $14,471 as of March 31, 2014. The Company may incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and there can be no guarantee that we will be successful securing funding. In the event we are unable to fund our operations by positive operating cash flows or additional funding, we will be forced to reduce our expenses and may have to cease operations. During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who was also the Chief Financial Officer, resigned. In addition, the company is restructuring its organization for greater efficiencies, and is aggressively pursuing sale opportunities, which continue to present themselves to the company. The company is working with distributors and end users in order to maximize potential sales. As a result of the Company scaling back current operations, substantially all of the Company’s employees were terminated.  The Company will continue to rely on its relationship with its partner, Leader Electronics, Inc., and optimize its strong industry relationship as it continues to concentrate on its legacy Aimed Optics™ products.  It will also continue to supports its development, reengineering, and building its current patent portfolio, which includes the continuing effort to reduce costs in an effort to become a more affordable option in the industry.
 
Corporate Information
 
Evolucia was formed in 2007 through a reverse merger whereby the Company acquired Sun Energy Solar, Inc., our accounting predecessor, which developed energy-efficient technologies in solar energy and infrared. The Company has exited the solar and infrared businesses. The Company’s solar subsidiary, Sunovia Solar, Inc. has not had operations since June 2010 and is not anticipated to have operations in the foreseeable future.

LED Lighting
 
LED lights are the most energy-efficient lighting source on the market today. Our LED lighting products are currently focused on (i) the roadway / walkway lighting market (“cobra head,” “shoebox”, “dusk-to-dawn”) (ii) the area lighting market (utility lights, wall packs, canopy lights and parking garage lights) and (iii), commercial indoor market (“high-bay”, “volumetric troffer”, and “lensed troffer” products). A report issued in January 2011 by Navigant Consulting, Inc. prepared for the Building Technologies Program of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) of the Department of Energy estimates that there are 56.2 million roadway lights in the United States, including 26.5 million street lights and 26.1 million highway lights. The same report estimates approximately 36.4 million parking garage lights and 15.8 million parking lot light fixtures installed in the United States. It is estimated that fewer than 5% of the parking light totals and fewer than 1% of the roadway and highway lights utilized LED technology. We believe traditional lighting companies have been somewhat slow to develop LED technologies; however, the large lighting companies have acquired the technology either through acquisition or OEM and licensing arrangements with smaller LED lighting companies. There are currently over 200 competitors in the outdoor LED lighting market. Our Aimed Optics™ technology potentially provides a competitive advantage in this market, as it uses less energy to put more light on the ground, although high product costs have hampered sales of the cobra head and shoebox products in certain markets.
 
The Company completed the basic design for most of its products in 2009. Improvements in LED performance and the competitive pressures in the lighting industry have driven the need to update product designs and performance to remain competitive and viable. Also, in order for LED lighting to be fully competitive with traditional lighting, the cost of the fixture, is more expensive than comparable legacy lighting fixtures, which must remain viable as well. This will require reductions in final costs through component reductions and increasing manufacturing efficiencies. We anticipate these cost reductions in the product designs to continue and the timeframe to develop new products will be shortened as competition grows.

The three most significant challenges facing the Company in the LED lighting market are (a) developing a recognizable brand name, (b) expanding our distribution network, and (c) lowering the cost of manufacturing and the expense of selling our products thru traditional channels. Each of these issues is an ongoing concern for the Company. In addition, as LED lighting markets continue to expand, the distribution proficiencies of the lighting market are likely to drive consolidation in product lines and expansion as fixture companies compete for new business across various product lines.

Results of Operations for the Quarter ended March 31, 2014

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had a net loss of ($1,704,683), as compared to a net loss ($2,127,949) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, or a decrease of $423,266. The significant factors contributing to this increase are discussed in more detail below.
 
Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $962,903, as compared to $456,821 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2013, which represented an increase of $506,082 or approximately 110.8%. The increase was the result of sales to two significant customers.
  
Gross Profit

The Company had a gross profit of $197,297, and a gross profit margin of 20.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to a gross profit of $162,936, and a gross profit margin of 35.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The gross margin decreased as a result of a changing product mix and increase in product costs.
 
Expenses

Total operating expenses increased to $2,428,984 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2014 from $1,426,522 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2013, an increase of $1,002,462, or 70.3%. The major components are discussed below.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2014 and 2013 were equal to total operating expenses, as the Company had no research and development expense in that period. The major components of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses are discussed below.

Product Development

Product development costs were $53,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $14,530, for the three months ending March 31, 2013, an increase of $39,269 or 270.3%. Product development expenses in 2014 represented continuing the refining of existing designs and development of aimed optics, the next generation cobra head and shoebox products.

Management expects to continue to support the development, reengineering, and building its current patent portfolio. After the first quarter of 2014, management expects product development costs to decrease until the Company formalizes the product development plan as a result of the restructuring. Management expects this to be completed by the end of the second quarter or beginning of the third quarter.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation & Benefits expenses were $834,183 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $907,751 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $73,568 or approximately 8.1%. The decrease is related to an increase in non-cash expenses associated with stock options awarded to Board members and employees and a decrease related to reduction in cash compensation and benefits.

Marketing & Sales

Marketing & Sales expenses totaled $276,051 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $152,121 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, representing an increase of $123,930 or 81.5%. The increase reflects the company’s efforts to continue to support the brand of the company and position it more effectively in the marketplace. Included in this category are tradeshow expenses and related travel, lodging, meals and entertainment expenses to market the product both domestically in the United States and Internationally.
 
 
21

 

With the relationships developed, management expects marketing and sales expenses to reduce after the first quarter of 2014. Due to the restructuring of the company and continued focus on developing and supporting the Company’s patents, management expects to minimize expenses related to tradeshows and related travel expenses. Management continues to support the branding of its products, Company and marketing of its patents to the marketplace.
 
General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses are the expenses of operating the business on a daily basis that are not related directly to cost of goods and include travel and entertainment, legal and professional fees, selling and marketing, and occupancy and office expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company incurred aggregate expense of $1,264,951 in this area, compared to $352,120 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $912,831 or 259.2%. The majority of this increase is related to increases in use of consultants, including stock based compensation paid to consultants, occupancy and office and legal and professional fees.

Research and Development

The Company did not incur any research and development expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2014 nor the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and expense reflects interest expense (net of interest income) as discussed below:
 
Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was ($256,838) compared to $864,363 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $1,121,201 or (129.7%). $503,734 of this decrease is attributable to the accretion of the discount related to the convertible notes which did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, $704,000 expense associated with the issuance of warrants was charged, while the remaining amount, $82,533, is related to an increase in total company borrowings.  
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient to meet its current obligations. In fiscal year 2013, the Company relied upon additional investment through sales of common stock, lines of credit, and debentures in order to fund its operations.

Cash Flows and Working Capital

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity and debt. As of March 31, 2014, we had $14,471 in cash and cash equivalents. We had receivables, net of allowances, of $747,864 and inventory, net of reserves, of $272,898. Our current liabilities as of that date were $5,429,664.

Our business cycle is working capital intensive. The sales cycle can be several months or longer and sales are not invoiced until the product has been built and shipped, requiring all cost of goods, and in some cases sales commissions, to be incurred prior to payment on an order. Also, because we build our products based upon a specific order, it can take up to 90 days to fulfill an order, followed by a period of time in which to collect our receivables. As discussed in “Lines of Credit” in Note I to the Financial Statements, we have two lines of credit with a total borrowing capacity of $2.75 million, $2 million of which was provided in cash to the Company and can be used for working capital purposes while the other $750,000 facility is available upon request for specific customer purchase orders pursuant to certain conditions. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had drawn an aggregate of $2,659,810 and had $90,190 remaining available balance.
 
 
22

 
 
Management intends to continue to finance operations through debt and equity as well as to seek potential acquisitions that have positive cash flows; however, there can be no assurance of successful financing or acquisition activity in the future.

The Company may incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and there can be no guarantee that we will be successful securing funding. In the event we are unable to fund our operations by positive operating cash flows or additional funding, we will be forced to reduce our expenses and may have to cease operations. During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who was also the Chief Financial Officer, resigned. In addition, the company is restructuring its organization for greater efficiencies, and is aggressively pursuing sale opportunities, which continue to present themselves to the company. The company is working with distributors and end users in order to maximize potential sales. As a result of the Company scaling back current operations, substantially all of the Company’s employees were terminated.  The Company will continue to rely on its relationship with its partner, Leader Electronics, Inc., and optimize its strong industry relationship as it continues to concentrate on its legacy Aimed Optics™ products.  It will also continue to supports its development, reengineering, and building its current patent portfolio, which includes the continuing effort to reduce costs in an effort to become a more affordable option in the industry.
 
The Company uses contract manufacturers to produce its products and therefore does not have significant capital expenditures at this time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.
 
Our company has not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us under which we have
 
o
an obligation under a guarantee contract, although we do have obligations under certain sales arrangements including purchase obligations to vendors
o
a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets,
o
any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, or
o
any obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by us and material to us where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging or research  and development services with us.

We previously leased an operating facility at 106 Cattlemen Road Sarasota, FL 34232. This facility is under a five year and six months lease. The lease required monthly rent, including sales tax, of approximately $10,445. The building consisted of 17,252 square feet of laboratory, warehouse and office space. On October 28, 2012, the Company completely vacated its operations from its former headquarters at 106 Cattlemen Road, Sarasota, FL, 34232 due to the presence of mold. The Company was responsible for an aggregate of approximately $280,000 in future rent payments at the time it vacated the property. The Company is negotiating a settlement with the landlord but it cannot be assured that a settlement will be reached and the Company may be liable for the balance of unpaid rent due. No accrual has been recorded for this contingency at March 31, 2014.

Headquarters office operations were moved temporarily to 6151 Lake Osprey Drive, Sarasota, FL 34240 while the manufacturing division, which also includes its warehouse, was moved temporarily to 6225 21st Street, Bradenton, FL  34203. These temporary facilities were rented on a month to month basis for approximately $15,622 per month.

Effective July 1, 2013, we moved to our operating facility located at 7040 Professional Parkway East, Sarasota, Florida 34240. The lease is under a six year lease and requires monthly rent, including sales tax, of approximately $16,000 for the first 18 months and escalates to $60,000 for the remainder of the term. In conjunction with the lease, we issued 12,000,000 options at the trading price the day of the agreement to the landlord.

In April 2014, we are restructuring our organization for greater efficiencies, and is aggressively pursuing sale opportunities, which continue to present themselves to the company. The company is working with distributors and end users in order to maximize potential sales. As a result of the Company scaling back current operations, substantially all of the Company’s employees were released. We have received a notice of violation from our landlord related to our facility located at 7040 Professional Parkway East, Sarasota, Florida 34240. The landlord is a shareholder and we are working with the landlord to resolve the current default on the operating facility lease. While we do not know the current outcome in relation to the obligation on the lease, the discussions with the landlord are amicable and both parties are seeking a solution that is agreeable for both parties.
 
As of June 19, 2014, we have 2 full-time employees. At present, Evolucia has reduced its personnel and staff in order to eliminate excess overhead and to refocus on the business’ core fundamentals: the protection and monetization of the Aimed Optics intellectual property and the commercialization and sale of the company’s core products that are manufactured through the partnership with Leader Electronics.  The Board accepted Mel Interiano’s resignation in April 2014; and the company has employed Thomas Seifert as Interim CEO and Interim CFO.

Effect of Changes in Prices

In the lighting industry, prices of equivalent incandescent lighting products are lower than the Company’s prices. In addition, some competing LED lighting fixtures are priced lower than the Company’s products. Reducing the cost of our products is a primary focus at this time and will be necessary in order for our LED lighting products to be competitive in the marketplace in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Critical accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We have identified our critical accounting estimates which are discussed below.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include the valuation of stock based charges, the valuation of derivatives and the valuation of inventory reserves.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers based upon a written credit policy.  Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate for the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable.  The Company establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.  Receivable balances are reviewed on an aged basis and account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not require collateral on accounts receivable.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

Derivatives are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in the Company’s structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on the Company’s balance sheet. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates

Research and Development

Research and Development ("R&D") expenses are charged to expense when incurred. The Company has consulting arrangements which are typically based upon a fee paid monthly or quarterly. Samples are purchased that are used in testing, and are expensed when purchased. R&D costs also include salaries and related personnel expenses, direct materials, laboratory supplies, equipment expenses and administrative expenses that are allocated to R&D based upon personnel costs.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the following conditions have been met: there is persuasive evidence an arrangement exists which includes a fixed price, there is reasonable assurance of collection, the services or products have been provided and delivered to the customer, no additional performance is required, and title and risk of loss has passed to the customer. Products may be placed on consignment to a limited number of resellers. Revenue for these consignment transactions will also be recognized as noted above.

Share-Based Payments
 
Compensation cost relating to share based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award).
 
Going Concern
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although we have incurred losses from operations and have a significant accumulated deficit at March 31, 2014, we believe we have adequate resources, such as our credit facilities and the potential proceeds from a private placement during 2014 to meet our operating commitments in 2014. In the event these resources and operating cash flows are not sufficient to fully fund our operating commitments or our growth, we would look to secure additional debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful securing funding. In the event we are unable to fund our operations by positive operating cash flows or additional funding, we may be forced to reduce our expenses and slow down our growth rate. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company does not believe that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Management Report on Disclosure Controls

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to lack of segregation of duties and the need for an updated accounting system, which is in process.

 Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are few employees and only one officer with management functions there is lack of segregation of duties.   The Company intends to continue to evaluate potentially engaging additional management personnel to alleviate this weakness.
 
 
27

 
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.

We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results, other than as described below. However, we are currently evaluating several consulting agreements and strategic relationships that the company entered into during the year ended December 2013. We may commence litigation against such parties if it is determined that such agreements were breached.

Litigation with Supplier

The Company is defending a lawsuit brought by a supplier of a component part of the Evolucia LED light fixtures. The suit alleges that the Company owes a re-stocking fee for the return of certain inventory. The plaintiff has alleged damages in excess of $100,000. The Company believes it has substantial defenses to this lawsuit and intends to vigorously defend it. The lawsuit is in the early stages of pleadings, and the outcome of this case is uncertain at this time. The Company has incurred no significant legal fees to date in this case.
 
Potential Litigation   
 
Through December 31, 2013, the Company made advances to Affineon Lighting aggregating $636,000 for Affineon to purchase inventory. These advances were to be repaid upon sale of Affineon’s products, however no amounts were repaid. The Company is attempting to collect the advances but has reserved the entire balance at December 31, 2013, and March 31, 2014. In addition, the Company’s former Principal Accounting Officer has been appointed as the Principal Executive Officer at Affineon subsequent to his terminating his employment with the Company. The Company is uncertain as to what additional actions, if any, it will take against Affineon or its former Principal Accounting Officer.

The Company’s Board is reviewing certain vendors, financial obligations, stock based compensation arrangements and contractual obligations committed to by its former Principal Accounting Officer, former Chief Executive Officer and other former employees. The Company’s Board is uncertain as to what additional actions, if any, it will take.

The Company has determined that there may be instances where certain shares of common stock issued pursuant to a Form S-8 were issued in violation of certain provisions of the use of Form S-8. In addition, the Company has been informed by one of its note holders that $50,000 of proceeds received pursuant to a private placement were not authorized by the note holder to be released from escrow. The Company’s board is investigating these items.
 
None of our directors, officers or affiliates are involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or have a material interest adverse to our business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
ITEM 2 - UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
On January 1, 2014, a portion of the accredited investors that participated in the PPM #1 offering agreed to exchange their PPM #1 securities representing an aggregate of $2,308,842 in principal and accrued interest, and PPM Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 99,665,910 shares of common stock for 8% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the "PPM #2") with a face value of $2,080,237. The PPM #2 securities mature three years from the date of issuance and are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock.  Interest is due and payable on the maturity date.  The PPM #2 securities are secured by assets of the Company and can be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without the consent of the holder.

The Company considered whether the exchange of the PPM #1 Notes and PPM Warrants was within the scope of ASC 470-60-55 Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructuring, which states that if a Company is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession is granted, troubled debt restructuring accounting should be applied. The Company has concluded that it is experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor has granted a concession as the effective borrowing rate for the restructured debt is less than the effective rate of the PPM #1 Notes prior to restructuring. ASC 470 requires that the effects of any sweeteners be considered when determining the cash flows for the restructured debt.  As such, the fair value of the cancelled PPM Warrants of approximately $572,000 was considered when determining whether a concession had been granted.  Because the total cash outflows required under the restructured debt were greater than the carrying amount of the debt prior to the restructuring, no gain or loss was recognized and there was no adjustment to the carrying amount of the debt. Rather, the carrying amount of the debt will be used to calculate interest expense over the remaining term of the restructured debt so that any unamortized deferred costs from the original debt financing continue to be recognized as interest expense over the remaining term of the restructured debt. Subsequent to the restructuring, the effective interest rate on the debt is approximately 47%.
 
 
28

 
 
On January 1, 2014 the holders of two Convertible Promissory Notes issued in 2013 agreed to roll-over their principal and accrued interest of $170,042 into PPM #2 described above in Note L. The transaction was not considered a troubled debt restructuring because the borrower’s effective interest rate before the roll-over was less than the effective interest rate after the rollover. As such, the transaction was treated as a modification and the difference between the carrying amount of the original Convertible Promissory Notes of $170,042 and the fair value of the newly issued PPM #2 Notes was recorded as a gain on extinguishment of approximately $13,000.
 
On February 18, 2014, holders of 10% notes payable with an outstanding principal balance totaling $290,642 chose to roll their outstanding balances into PPM #2. The Company has concluded that it is experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor has granted a concession as the effective borrowing rate for the restructured debt is less than the effective rate of the 10% notes payable prior to the restructuring. No gain or loss was recognized because the total cash outflows required under the restructured debt were greater than the carrying amount of the debt prior to the restructuring.

During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 7,412,057 shares to employees as compensation.
 
During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 8,016,541 shares to former employees to settle unpaid compensation.
 
During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 81,062,535 shares to several consultants for services.
 
During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 2,020,000 shares to a note holder to satisfy the outstanding debt.
 
During the period ended March 31, 2014, 10,000,000 shares were returned to the Company for no consideration and were cancelled.
             
During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 18,500,000 stock options to two consultants. The options have exercise price of $0.01, vest immediately and expire five years from the date of issuance.
 
During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 12,675,000 stock options to one employee. The options have exercise prices of $0.004, vest immediately and expire five years from the date of issuance.
 
During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company received $50,000 proceeds from PPM#2.

The above issuances were made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D there under. The holders of the above securities are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

At present, Evolucia has reduced its personnel and staff in order to eliminate excess overhead and to refocus on the business’ core fundamentals: the protection and monetization of the Aimed Optics intellectual property and the commercialization and sale of the company’s core products that are manufactured through the partnership with Leader Electronics.  Based on the company’s performance under his leadership, the Board accepted Mel Interiano’s resignation in April 2014; and the company has employed Thomas Seifert as Interim CEO.
