CYCLONE POWER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATIONAL AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is the successor entity to the business of Cyclone Technologies LLLP (the “LLLP”), a limited liability limited partnership formed in Florida in June 2004. The LLLP was the original developer and intellectual property holder of the Cyclone engine technology. The Company is primarily a research and development engineering company whose main purpose is to develop, commercialize, market and license its Cyclone engine technology.

 

In 2010, the Company established a subsidiary, Cyclone-WHE LLC (the “WHE Subsidiary”), to market the waste heat recovery systems for all Cyclone engine models. As of June 30, 2014 the Company had a 73.72% controlling interest in the WHE Subsidiary, which in May 2014, redomiciled to Delaware as a corporation named WHE Generation Corp. In 2012, the Company established Cyclone Performance LLC (“Cyclone Performance”) f/k/a Cyclone-TeamSteam USA, LLC. The purpose of Cyclone Performance is to build, test and run a vehicle utilizing the Company’s engine. As of June 30, 2014, the company had a 95% controlling interest in Cyclone Performance.

 

B. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 73.72% owned WHE Subsidiary and its 95% owned subsidiary Cyclone Performance. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.

 

The accounting principles utilized by the Company require the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the periods. On an on-going basis, the Company reviews and evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those that relate to the realizable value of inventory, identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, contracts, income taxes, derivative liabilities, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 

  

C. CASH

 

Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions.

 

D. COMPUTATION OF LOSS PER SHARE

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is not presented as the conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, total anti-dilutive shares amounted to approximately 19.2 million and 19.3 million shares, respectively.

 

 
5

 

 

E. INCOME TAXES

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.

 

In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2013, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. Interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the consolidated financial statements as a component of income taxes. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2010 through 2013.

  

F. REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements”, and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment of engines and systems, engine prototypes, engine designs or other deliverables to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from contracts for multiple deliverables and milestone method recognition are evaluated and allocated as appropriate. The Company has determined that the milestone method of revenue recognition (ASC 605-28) is appropriate for two of the Company’s contracts which specifically enumerate approved work effort milestones required for remuneration – the Company’s contract with the U.S. Army / TARDEC and the Amended and Restated Technology Application License Agreement with Phoenix Power Group LLC. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not allow its customers to return prototype products. Current contracts do not require the Company to provide any warranty assistance after the “deliverable” has been accepted.

 

It is the Company’s intention when it has royalty revenue from its contracts to record royalty revenue periodically when earned, as reported in sales statements from customers. The Company does not have any royalty revenue to date.

G. WARRANTY PROVISIONS

 

Current contracts do not require warranty assistance subsequent to acceptance of the “deliverable R&D prototype” by the customer. For products that the Company will sell in the future, warranty costs are anticipated to be borne by the manufacturing vendor.

 

H. INVENTORY

 

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Costs include material, labor and allocated overhead to manufacture a completed engine. These costs are periodically evaluated to determine if they have a net realizable value. If the net realizable value is lower than the carrying amount, a reserve is provided.

 

I. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1

Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting  date.

  

The summary of fair values and changing values of financial instruments as of January 1, 2014 (beginning of period) and June 30, 2014 (end of period) is as follows:

Please refer to Note 16 for disclosure and assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

  

J. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development activities for product development are expensed as incurred. Costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $316,817 and $370,771, respectively.

 

K. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company applies the fair value method of ASC 718, “Share Based Payment”, in accounting for its stock based compensation. This standard states that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company values stock based compensation at the market price for the Company’s common stock as of the date in which the obligation for payment of services is incurred.

 

 
7

 

 

L. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND PURCHASE WARRANTS

 

The Company accounts for common stock options and purchase warrants at fair value in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation method is used to determine fair value of these warrants consistent with ASC 718, “Share Based Payment”. Use of this method requires that the Company make assumptions regarding stock volatility, dividend yields, expected term of the warrants and risk-free interest rates.

   

The Company accounts for transactions in which services are received from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the equity instruments exchanged, in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity Based payments to Non-employees”.

 

M. ORIGINAL ISSUE DEBT DISCOUNT

 

The original issue discount (OID) related to notes payable is amortized by the effective interest method over the repayment period of the notes. The unamortized OID is represented as a reduction of the amount of the notes payable.

 

N. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

          

   

Years

 

Display equipment for trade shows

    3  

Leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures

    10 - 15  

Shop equipment

    7  

Computers

    3  

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

O. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets and other long lived assets to determine whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. To date, the Company has not recognized any impairment charges.

 

P. RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain balances presented previously have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted for this year.

 

Q. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In 2014, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) , ASU 2014-12 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (Topic 718) , ASU 2014-09 “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), ASU 2014-03 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Accounting for Certain Receive-Variable, Pay Fixed Interest Rate Swaps-Simplified Hedge Account Approach, and ASU 2014-02 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). Management believes that these standards will not materially impact our financial statements.

 

R. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk. The Company expects cash and accounts receivable to be the two assets most likely to subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its risk of loss exposure.

 

 
8

 

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company maintained its cash in two quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts through June 30, 2014. The Company purchases raw material and components from multiple sources, none of which may be considered a principal or material supplier. If necessary, the Company could replace these suppliers with minimal effect on its business operations.

 

S. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities were codified by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”). It requires that all derivatives be recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings or recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the purpose of the derivatives and whether they qualify and have been designated for hedge accounting treatment. The Company has derivative liabilities pursuant to convertible debt and common stock warrants, and has recognized net expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not have any derivative instruments for which it has applied hedge accounting treatment.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating and other losses of approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 The cumulative deficit since inception is approximately $54.7 million, which is comprised of $22.9 million attributable to actual operating losses (which were paid in cash, stock for services and other equity instruments) and other expenses, and $31.8 million in non-cash derivative liability accounting which was a result of the conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in 2011, the retirement of a common stock purchase warrant in 2012, and the change in fair value of derivatives associated with notes payable for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company has a working capital deficit at June 30, 2014 of approximately $2.8 million. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans which include implementation of its business model to generate revenue from development contracts, licenses and product sales, and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will also likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing. 

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company is currently raising working capital to fund its operations via private placements of common stock and debt, advance contract payments (deferred revenue), and advances from and deferred payments to related parties.

During the last quarter of 2013, the Company’s Chairman and co-founder loaned approximately 37.4 million shares of Company common stock, valued at approximately $1.5 million, as reserve treasury shares pursuant to various debt covenants. These shares have been presented as value of shares loaned by stockholder in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These shares were returned to the Chairman in March 2014.

 

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

A. LEASE ON FACILITIES

 

The Company leases a 6,000 square foot warehouse and office facility located at 601 NE 26th Court in Pompano Beach, Florida. The lease, which is part of the Company’s Operations Agreement with Schoell Marine, provides for the Company to pay rent equal to the monthly mortgage payment on the building plus property taxes, utilities and sales tax due on rent. Occupancy costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $31,482 in both periods. The Operations Agreement runs year-to-year, however, the lease portion of this agreement is month-to-month, but can only be cancelled on 180 day notice by Schoell Marine.

 

B. DEFERRED COMPENSATION

 

Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses - related parties as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are $476,962 and $1,910,073, respectively, of accrued and deferred officers’ salaries compensation which may be paid as funds are available.

NOTE 10 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

A. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

 

Per the employment contracts with certain officers, the company issued 450,000 common stock options, valued at $2,044 (pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model) ) that are exercisable into shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.0045 and with a maturity life of 10 years. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the amortization of stock options was $9,755 and the unamortized balance was $1,533.

 

To improve the common stock position of the Company and help limit dilution, effective with the second quarter of 2013, the four corporate officers unanimously agreed to waive their rights to 2.4 million common stock options (600,000 per quarter collectively) contractually due them through April 2014. In lieu of issuing additional options to these officers and all other employees through the end of the year, the Company re-priced 4,185,000 million vested options held by the officers and employees that were priced at a minimum of $0.15 per share ($0.20 average) to $0.10 per share. The result was a non-cash charge of approximately $52,000. The remaining contractual life of the options was not changed.

The fair value of new stock options, re-priced stock options, new purchase warrants and re-priced purchase warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was calculated using the following assumptions:

 

   

Six Months Ended

Expected dividend yield

    0 %       0%  

Average value per options and warrants

    $.004 - $ .02       $.01 - $.06  

 

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock price. Short Term U.S. Treasury rates were utilized at the risk free interest rate. The expected term of the options and warrants was calculated using the alternative simplified method newly codified as ASC 718 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” which defined the expected life as the average of the contractual term of the options and warrants and the weighted average vesting period for all issuances.

 

B. COMMON STOCK WARRANTS

 

 During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company: 

 

 

a-

Re-priced 625,000 common stock warrants to $.0114 (valued at $10,821) pursuant to a price guarantee from the 2013 sale of common stock to unaffiliated third parties.

 

 

 

 

b-

Issued 2,838,051 common stock warrants and re-priced 565,625 common stock warrants, both to $.0114 (valued at $43,280) pursuant to a price guarantee from a 2013 debt agreement.

No other terms of these common stock warrants were revised.

 

 

 

 

c-

Issued 4,722,365 aggregate shares of common stock in a cashless exercise of 9,037,230 warrants.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $18.7 million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2029. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax asset has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

NOTE 12 –LEASE OBLIGATIONS

 

A. CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATIONS

NOTE 14 – CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

 

In 2012, the Company established a 100% owned subsidiary (renamed) Cyclone Performance LLC. The purpose of Cyclone Performance is to build, test and run a vehicle utilizing the Company’s engine. In the last quarter of 2012, the Company sold a 5% equity investment to an unrelated investor for $30,000. Prior to December 31, 2012, this 5% equity investment was acquired by a corporate officer of the Company.  Losses of the subsidiary are currently fully borne by the Company, as there is no guarantee of future profits or positive cash flow of the subsidiary. As of June 30, 2014, the cumulative unallocated losses to the non-controlling interests of this subsidiary of $953 are to be recovered by the parent from future subsidiary profits if they materialize.

 

 In July 2013, the Company’s Chairman purchased a 5% equity stake in the WHE Subsidiary in exchange for 5 million shares of his common stock in the Company. In connection with this purchase, the executive also agreed to release the security interest held by his company, Schoell Marine, on certain of the Company’s engine patents, which was collateral on approximately $425,000 in debt owed by the Company to Schoell Marine. The executive also agreed to provide 12 months of consulting services without additional compensation to the WHE Subsidiary.

 

In July 2013, as part of a Joint Manufacturing Operations Agreement, Precision CNC LLC (of Ohio) received a 5% interest in the WHE Subsidiary to provide expertise and management for its production operations (vesting over the following two years). Precision CNC was also given the right, during this period, to purchase up to an additional 5% in Cyclone-WHE at the then current valuation of that company. In May 2014, the WHE Subsidiary was re-domiciled to Delaware, and converted to a corporation named WHE Generation Corp.

 

The total losses of the WHE subsidiary for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $356,174 and $157,266, respectively. Losses of the subsidiary are currently fully borne by the Company in the consolidated statements of operations. There is no guarantee of future profits or positive cash flow of the subsidiary that will be realized. As of June 30, 2014, the cumulative unallocated losses to the non-controlling interests of this subsidiary of $131,133 are to be recovered by the parent from future subsidiary profits if they materialize.

NOTE 15 – RECEIVABLES, DEFERRED REVENUE AND BACKLOG

 

As of June 30, 2014, total backlog for prototype engines to be delivered in the following six months was $.4 million, from the Combilift agreement, of which $.1 million has been paid and has been recorded as deferred revenue.

 

NOTE 16 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Pursuant to additional financing, in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and in the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company entered into convertible note agreements in the aggregate face amount of $783,052 and $743,250, respectively. The conversion prices into common stock ranged from a discount of 30% to 45% of the lowest closing prices in the 10 to 20 trading days prior to the conversion. Under provisions of ASC Topic 815-40, this conversion feature triggered derivative accounting treatment because the convertible note was convertible into an indeterminable number of shares of common stock. The fair value of the embedded conversion option was required to be presented as a derivative liability and adjusted to fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operation.

   

The Company recorded derivative liabilities of $656,574 and $456,681 with a discount offset against the underlying loan, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a $602,805 non-cash charge to interest expense (reflective of debt discount amortization), an increase of $698,578 in additional paid in capital pursuant to conversion of convertible notes to common stock, and $179,509 of derivative loss related to adjusting the derivative liability to fair value. At June 30, 2014, the derivative related fair value of debt and warrants were $555,753 and $66,549, respectively..

 

The Company calculates the estimated fair values of the liabilities for derivative instruments at each quarter-end using the BSM option pricing model and Monte Carlo simulations. Volatility, expected term and risk free interest rates used to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities are indicated in the table below. The volatility was based on historical volatility, the expected term is equal to the remaining term of the debt and the risk free rate is based upon rates for treasury securities with the same term.

Overview 

 

The Company is engaged in the research and development of all-fuel, eco-friendly engine technologies. Several prototypes of these engines are nearing completion with one model currently expected to go into limited production in 2014. While the Company started to generate revenue from its operations as early as 2008, it has not had material or consistent revenue in each of the last two fiscal years. In order for the Company to maintain and expand its operations through the next 12 months, it will seek license and development agreements that provide up-front or progress payment revenue to the Company, and advance its plans to commence engines sales of the WHE by mid-year. We will also continue to raise capital by means of equity or debt offerings.

On July 17, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Company signed a Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with its 74% owned subsidiary, WHE Generation, Corp. (“WHE GEN”). The Agreement provides the foundation by which WHE GEN plans to raise approximately $2.35 million in new funding, and structure its business moving forward. Such funding is anticipated to occur in two rounds – the first in the amount of $350,000 pursuant to several 12-month, 6% interest rate Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) which are convertible into WHE GEN common stock at a price of $.12 per share. The second round will occur subsequent to the closing of the Notes, and be in the aggregate amount of up to $2 million of common stock of WHE GEN at a forecasted price of $.27 per share, with a potential additional over-allotment of $500,000. Upon the closing of at least $1 million in the second round, the Notes will automatically convert. The two financings must be completed by September 30, 2014, or else the Company may terminate the Agreement.

 

Upon the successful closing of WHE GEN’s contemplated financings, the Company is expected to receive $175,000 in license and consulting fees and retire its senior secured debt, including termination all of security interests and liens on its assets. Under the Agreement the Company also transferred to WHE GEN other accounts payable of approximately $200,000 and $300,000 in contract liabilities.

 

Under the Agreement, the Company may raise $500,000 in additional capital from the sale of a portion of its WHE GEN equity holdings to further reduce existing debt and provide operating capital. It will retain a minority equity interest in WHE GEN estimated between 12% and 23% depending on the size of the several capital raises. Prior to the Separation Agreement, the maturity of various non related party notes payable were extended.

 

In connection with the Agreement, the Company and WHE GEN also amended its 2010 License Agreement (the “License”) to provide the Company with on-going 5% royalties from WHE GEN’s sale of engines utilizing the licensed technology. This License is 20 years with two 10-year extensions. It is worldwide in territory and exclusive for the specific applications of stationary waste heat recovery (WHR) and waste-to-power (WtP).

 

Cyclone’s Board received a Fairness Opinion and Valuation Report from a certified valuation expert in connection with the Separation Agreement and funding structures. In the opinion of the expert, the transactions were deemed to be fair to Cyclone’s shareholders from a financial perspective. The transactions were approved by the unanimous vote of the Board of the Company, including a majority whom are considered independent under SEC rules.

 

On July 30, 2014, WHE GEN completed its $350,000 Seed Round offering, and paid to TCA Global Master Credit Fund LP, the Company’s senior secured creditor, approximately $78,000 to fully retire that debenture and release all of the Company’s assets from its security interest. WHE GEN also paid to the Company an additional $24,000 in reimbursements.

 

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company also completed and delivered the U.S. Army / TARDEC engine, designed to be used as a 10kW auxiliary power unit (APU) for combat vehicles. This Phase 1 development program provided $502,882 in revenue to the Company in 2013, and $140,527 in 2014. Management is now seeking follow-on funding from both military and commercial groups to advance the technology into Phase 2 for durability and performance enhancement.

 

With additional resources, our R&D team will also move towards completion of the Mark 5 project this year. This engine is to be delivered to Combilift for clean-burning material lift equipment, and used in Cyclone’s land speed record (LSR) streamliner to attempt a run for the fastest steam car on earth. With respect to the Combilifit contract, we are forecasting an additional $300,000 in revenue from the delivery of two Mark 5 engines to this customer this year. Management is also pursuing other major R&D contracts that both support and build-off of these two engine programs. This includes marine and renewable power applications.

 

Corporate Structural Actions.   From a corporate and structural stand-point, management has and will continue to take decisive steps to mature the Company to attract funding from investors with long range horizons and strategic partners who can add value from multiple directions. This type of funding is different from the convertible notes used to finance the Company over the last 18 months.

 

To strengthen the Company’s balance and capital structure, in Q1 2014 management converted $668,312 of deferred salaries into 20,313,416 shares of common stock and forgave an additional $956,762 of their deferred salary as contributed capital. This action was meant to reduce liabilities and demonstrate management’s strong faith in the future of Cyclone.

 

The Company recently increased its authorized common stock to 900 million shares. Management will seek to use these shares to build long term value for Cyclone, including getting products to market, generating strong and consistent revenue, reducing debt on our books, and possibly partnering with companies that can provide a diversified income stream and technology base. Along these lines, management is seeking strategic business relationships in the areas of manufacturing and clean energy technologies with vertical synergies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2014, the net working capital deficiency was $2,817,555 as compared to a deficiency of $5,994,870 at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $3,177,315 or 53%.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash increased by $25,574. Funds were provided by the sale of common stock of $110,000, debt proceeds of $440,000, higher accounts payable and accrued expenses of $300,091 and an increase of $199,232 in related party payables and accrued expenses. Funds used by the net loss of $2,287,337 and debt repayment of $38,615. Non-cash charges for the six months were from the issuance of common stock, warrants and options for services of $109,759, amortization of prepaid expenses paid with common stock of $324,854, derivative expenses related to debt valuation of $179,509 and $602,805 of derivative debt discount amortization (charged as interest expense)

 

During the last quarter of 2013, the Company’s Chairman and co-founder loaned approximately 37.4 million shares of Company common stock, valued at approximately $1.5 million, as reserve treasury shares pursuant to various debt covenants. These shares have been presented as value of shares loaned by stockholder in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These shares were returned to the Chairman in March 2014 and the liability was reversed.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash increased by $52,789. This is reflective of funds provided by: $420,000 of new convertible debt funding, the sale of common stock of $100,000, reduced inventory of $134,889, higher accounts payable and accrued expenses of $103,230, and increased payables and accrued expenses to related parties of $175,407. Funds were used by the net loss of $1,249,093 and debt repayment of $161,922. Non-cash charges for the six months were from the issuance of common stock, warrants and options for services of $329,040.

 

Cash Flow Management Plan

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of approximately $2.3 million. Cumulative operating losses since inception are approximately $22.9 million.  The Company has a working capital deficit at June 30, 2014 of approximately $2.8 million. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to support its operations on a long term basis. This raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If additional funds cannot be raised or otherwise generated, the Company may be forced to reduce staff, minimize its research and development activities, or in a worst case scenario, shut-down operations.

 

Should plans to commence manufacturing of the WHE continue on schedule, we expect to generate approximately $2 million in engine sales over the following 12 months. We also forecast another $400,000 in revenue from the development contracts currently in place. If we are successful in these endeavors, the resulting gross revenue could support approximately 70% of our operations this year. Additionally, we have potential contracts in various stages of negotiation that could generate another $2 million in revenue over the following 12 to 24 months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in closing these new contracts, but we are cautiously optimistic that these or other opportunities will materialize in the coming quarters.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President (Chief Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our financial disclosures, controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2014.

 

A material weakness can be defined as an insufficiency of internal controls that may result in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement will not be prevented, detected or corrected in a company’s financial statements.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our President (Chief Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, except for the deficiencies noted below.

 

-  

Weaknesses in Accounting and Finance Personnel: We have a small accounting staff and we do not have the robust employee resources and expertise needed to meet complex and intricate GAAP and SEC reporting requirements of a U.S. public company. Additionally, numerous adjustments and proposed adjustments have been noted by our auditors. This is deemed by management to be a material weakness in preparing financial statements.

   

-  

We have written accounting policies and control procedures, but we do not have sufficient staff to implement the related controls. Management had determined that this lack of the implantation of segregation of duties, as required by our written procedures, represents a material weakness in our internal controls.

   

-  

Internal control has as its core a basic tenant of segregation of duties. Due to our limited size and economic constraints, the Company is not able to segregate for control purposes various asset control and recording duties and functions to different employees. This lack of segregation of duties had been evaluated by management, and has been deemed to be a material control deficiency.

 

The Company has determined that the above internal control weaknesses and deficiencies could result in a reasonable possibility for interim financial statements that a material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company's internal controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Procedures.

 

Management is currently evaluating what steps can be taken in order to address these material weaknesses.

 As a growing small business, the Company continuously devotes resources to the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. Due to budget constraints, the staffing size, proficiency and specific expertise in the accounting department is below requirements for the operation. The Company is anticipating correcting deficiencies as funds become available.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
