Background
The Company’s predecessor, Green Energy Corp. was originally organized as a Colorado corporation, referred to in this document as “Old Green Energy”, commenced operations in 2003 as a marketer of a specific gasification technology for commercial applications to produce fuels and chemicals. In December 2006, Old Green Energy reincorporated as a Nevada corporation and changed its name to Green Energy Holding Corp (“GEHC”).
On December 28, 2008, GEHC entered into a stock purchase agreement to issue 14,370,300 shares to accredited investors for $175,000, giving those outside investors approximately 96.5% controlling interest in the Company. An additional $325,000 was used for legal and accounting fees and expenses, as well as administrative fees and costs. The aggregate cost of the change in control totaled $500,000.
Following the sale of 96.5% of the Company’s capital stock at the end of calendar 2008, the Company decided to modify its focus, concentrating on acquiring, developing and managing cash producing oil and gas properties in the Middle East, Asia and the Americas, particularly in the middle region of the United States. It aspires to find new, long-term energy solutions that are safe, economically viable and environmentally friendly to enhance the future of countries and economies worldwide. It is responding to international, political, environmental and free market demands for investments in the Independent Power Project (IPP) market with safer, cleaner and more technologically advanced energy sources. The Company is dedicated to the task of providing the best management and advisory services available in the complex arena of international business and project development in oil and gas production and power generation.
On March 10, 2009, the Company amended the Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Green Energy Holding Corp. to Energy Holdings International, Inc.
EHII’S Business Strategy and Objectives
Oil & Gas Exploration
EHII’s acquisition and management strategy is focused on accumulating a portfolio of high cash generation producing assets across the oil and gas exploration and power generation sectors. Management has developed a pipeline of assets and secured preliminary terms for bank financing of potential acquisitions.
The Company’s specific strategies for value enhancement in the Power Generation sector are tailored to local requirements, but the company seeks to achieve the following:
• | Optimize the operations of acquired power plants, which includes maintaining our assets to high standards of safety and operating performance, managing our assets on a portfolio basis, particularly with regard to contingency and strategic spare parts planning so as to minimize the loss of generation during planned and forced outages, and closely co-coordinating our plant operation with trading activity to maximize the value of un-contracted output; and standardizing management reporting for all investments; | |
• | Leverage operational assets to enhance earnings in several ways, including financing at a variety of corporate, project and intermediate corporate levels, capturing operational, trading, and administrative economies of scale in asset aggregation; capitalizing on market knowledge derived through asset ownership, and leveraging off the skills, expertise and ideas of the management team; | |
• | Grow trade assets to maximize value over time, and to seek to maximize the value of investments through dispositions if this generates a higher return, or if the management team determines, a comparable return can be obtained with lower risk elsewhere; and | |
• | Seek effective routes to market in those geographical areas where it is appropriate. |
Power generation demand will be driven by the growth in demand from emerging markets, redevelopment of aged assets in the developed world and finally incremental demand. The Company intends to acquire and build out power generation plants across the Middle East, North Africa, South America and Southeast Asian regions. However, EHII has not entered into any definitive agreements with any persons to acquire or build out such plants nor does it assure anyone that it will be able to do so.

The Oil & Gas and Power Generation Industry
The Independent Power Industry
Power generation is a strong and attractive global sector due to the significant demand growth in developing economies, replacement capacity required in many developed countries and tightening reserve requirements. EHII intends to focus power generation efforts in the Middle East and Africa regions.
The Middle East region offers stable governments, low country risk ratings and good credit ratings, which allows for the availability of long-term PWPAs (Power and Water Purchase Agreements) with attractive return on investment and the availability of capital needed for development and acquisitions. GDP growth rates average 5-8% per annum with power growth rates averaging 6-10% per annum.
There is pressure on development plans throughout the industry due to the global liquidity crisis. This creates a unique opportunity for firms that are well capitalized.
Revenue Source
EHII expects that it may derive revenues from equity positions in oil and gas and power projects and consulting engagements performed for external groups. It also anticipates that additional revenue could be in the form of development fees from Farm-In Agreements with new partners in EHII projects, carried and royalty interest from projects revenue, and when appropriate, in the form of capital gains from the sale of all or a portion of EHII ownership interest in a project.
Regulatory Approvals and Environmental Laws
EHII is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the air, water and ground; the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials; and the health and safety of our employees. These laws, regulations and permits also can require expensive pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit actual or potential impacts to the environment. A violation of these laws and regulations or permit conditions can result in substantial fines, natural resource damage, criminal sanctions, permit revocations and/or facility shutdowns. We do not anticipate a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition as a result of our efforts to comply with these requirements. We also do not expect to incur material capital expenditures for environmental controls in this or the succeeding fiscal year.
There is a risk of liability for the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at each of the properties that we may own or operate and at off-site locations where we may have arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. If these substances have been or are disposed of or released at sites that undergo investigation and/or remediation by regulatory agencies, we may be responsible under CERCLA or other environmental laws for all or part of the costs of investigation and/or remediation and for damage to natural resources. We may also be subject to related claims by private parties alleging property damage and personal injury due to exposure to hazardous or other materials at or from these properties. Some of these matters may require us to expend significant amounts for investigation and/or cleanup or other costs. We do not have material environmental liabilities relating to contamination at or from our facilities or at off-site locations where we have transported or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances.
5 |
In addition, new laws, new interpretations of existing laws, increased governmental enforcement of environmental laws or other developments could require us to make additional significant expenditures. Continued government and public emphasis on environmental issues can be expected to result in increased future investments for environmental controls at our ongoing operations. Present and future environmental laws and regulations (and related interpretations) applicable to our operations, more vigorous enforcement policies and discovery of currently unknown conditions may require substantial capital and other expenditures. Our air emissions are subject to the federal Clean Air Act, the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and similar state and local laws and associated regulations. The U.S. EPA has promulgated National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, or NESHAP, under the federal Clean Air Act that could apply to facilities that we own or operate if the emissions of hazardous air pollutants exceed certain thresholds. If a facility we operate is authorized to emit hazardous air pollutants above the threshold level, then we are required to comply with the NESHAP related to our manufacturing process and would be required to come into compliance with another NESHAP applicable to boilers and process heaters by September 13, 2007. New or expanded facilities would be required to comply with both standards upon startup if they exceed the hazardous air pollutant threshold. In addition to costs for achieving and maintaining compliance with these laws, more stringent standards may also limit our operating flexibility. Because other domestic syngas manufacturers will have similar restrictions, however, we believe that compliance with more stringent air emission control or other environmental laws and regulations is not likely to materially affect our competitive position.
The hazards and risks associated with producing and transporting our products, such as fires, natural disasters, explosions, abnormal pressures, blowouts and pipeline ruptures also may result in personal injury claims or damage to property and third parties. As protection against operating hazards, we maintain insurance coverage against some, but not all, potential losses. Our coverage includes physical damage to assets, employer’s liability, comprehensive general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation. We believe that our insurance is currently adequate, but losses could occur for uninsurable or uninsured risks or in amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage. We do not currently have pending material claims for damages or liability to third parties relating to the hazards or risks of our business.
The international, federal and state rules and regulations are constantly changing. There may be additional restrictions or requirements in the future to which EHII will be subject, which may adversely affect the business, as well as its revenues and profitability.
Employees
The Company currently has engaged a Chief Executive Officer, and a Chief Financial Officer. To date, these individuals are consultants, but EHII anticipates that in the near future, it will enter into employment agreements with these individuals.
Important Risk Factors Concerning our Business.
You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this Annual Report in evaluating our business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties other than those we described below that are not presently known to us or that we believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business and financial results could be harmed. You should also refer to the other information contained in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We have a limited operating history.
Since the inception of our current business operations, we have been engaged in organizational activities, including developing a strategic operating plan, entering into contracts, hiring personnel, developing processing technology, raising private capital and seeking acquisitions. Accordingly, we have a limited relevant operating history upon which an evaluation of our performance and future prospects can be made.
6 |
We have had a history of net losses.
We incurred a net consolidated loss of $1,483,884 for the year ended June 30, 2014, and have had accumulated total losses of $7,020,589 through June 30, 2014. Through June of 2014, we have been funding our operations primarily through sales of equity interests in our subsidiaries, but have also financed a portion of our operation through the sale of our securities and loans from directors and shareholders. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as we focus on seeking a potential joint venture partners and acquisitions in the area of oil, gas, and alternative energy. Our ability to generate and sustain significant additional revenues or achieve profitability will depend upon the factors discussed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section. We cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain profitability or that our operating losses will not increase in the future. If we do achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
We will be forced to continue to seek financing partners, either through debt or equity, to achieve our business objectives.
As of June 30, 2014, we had unrestricted cash of $190,528. We will need significant capital expenditures and investments over the next twelve months related to our growth program. We are also currently evaluating potential joint venture partners. We do not plan to use a portion of our current cash to fund these site acquisitions or provide seed equity for the projects while we analyze financing options.
We are currently in discussions with several intermediaries, advisors and investors to structure and raise the funds to optimally finance potential projects. We are evaluating debt and equity placements at the corporate level as well as project specific capital opportunities. We have no commitments for any additional financing, and there can be no assurance that, if needed, additional capital will be available to use on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital as needed would significantly restrict our growth and hinder out ability to compete. We may need to curtail expenses, reduce planned investments in technology and research and development and forgo business opportunities. Additional equity financings are likely to be dilutive to holders of our common stock and debt financing, if available, may involve significant payment obligations and covenants that restrict how we operate our business.
Strategic acquisitions could have a dilutive effect on your investment. Failure to make accretive acquisitions and successfully integrate them could adversely affect our future financial results
As part of our growth strategy, we will seek to acquire or invest in complementary (including competitive) businesses, facilities or technologies and enter into co-location joint ventures in the oil & gas and power generation industries. Our goal is to make such acquisitions, integrate these acquired assets into our operations and reduce operating expenses. The process of integrating these acquired assets into our operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures, and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business. We cannot assure you that the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions will be realized. In addition, future acquisitions by us could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, any of which can materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial position.
We depend on our officers and key personnel and the loss of any of these persons could adversely affect our operations and results.
We believe that implementing our proposed expansion strategy and execution of our business plan to acquire, manage and develop power generation and oil & gas assets will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of our officers and key personnel. Because the oil, gas and alternative energy industries are highly competitive, we believe that the personal contacts of our officers and key personnel within the industry and within the scientific community engaged in related businesses are a significant factor in our continued success. Our failure to retain our officers or key personnel, or to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, could adversely affect our operations and results. We do not currently carry key-man life insurance on any of our officers.
7 |
Because we are smaller and have fewer financial and other resources than energy focused companies, we may not be able to successfully compete in the very competitive industry.
There is significant competition among existing oil, gas, and alternative energy companies. Our business faces competition from a number of entities that have the financial and other resources that would enable them to expand their businesses. Even if we are able to enter into joint venture agreements, our competitors may be more profitable than us, which may make it more difficult for us to raise any financing necessary for us to achieve our business plan and may have a materially adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Common Stock
Our common stock price has fluctuated considerably and stockholders may not be able to resell their shares at or above the price at which such shares were purchased.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past, and may continue to fluctuate significantly in response to factors, some of which are beyond our control. The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. The market prices of securities of fuel-related companies have experienced fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results of these companies. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock. Price volatility might be intensified under circumstances where the trading volume of our common stock is low.
We may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms for research and support which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not publish research on our common stock. The number of securities competing for the attention of such analysts is large and growing. Coverage of a security by analysts at major brokerage firms increases the investing public’s knowledge of and interest in the issuer, which may stimulate demand for and support the market price of the issuer’s securities. The failure of major brokerage firms to cover our common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Future sales of common stock or other dilutive events may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
We are currently authorized to issue up to 100 million shares of common stock, of which 40,037,650 shares were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2014. Our board of directors and/or our executive management has the authority, without further action or vote of our stockholders, to issue any or all of the remaining authorized shares of our common stock that are not reserved for issuance and to grant options or other awards to purchase any or all of the shares remaining authorized. The board may issue shares or grant options or awards relating to shares at a price that reflects a discount from the then-current market price of our common stock. The options and awards referred to above can be expected to include provisions requiring us to issue increased numbers of shares of common stock upon exercise or conversion in the event of stock splits, redemptions, mergers or other transactions. If any of these events occur, the exercise of any of the options or warrants described above and any other issuance of shares of common stock will dilute the percentage ownership interests of our current stockholders and may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.
A significant number of our shares will be eligible for sale, and their sale could depress the market price of our common stock.
Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public market could harm the market price of our common stock. Virtually all shares of our common stock may be offered from time to time in the open market, including the shares offered pursuant to this filing. These sales may have a depressive effect on the market for the shares of our common stock. Moreover, additional shares of our common stock, including shares that have been issued in private placements, may be sold from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144. In general, a person who has held restricted shares for a period of one year may, upon filing with the SEC a notification on Form 144, sell into the market common stock in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares or the average weekly number of shares sold in the last four weeks prior to such sale. Such sales may be repeated at specified intervals. Subject to satisfaction of a two-year holding requirement, non-affiliates of an issuer may make sales under Rule 144 without regard to the volume limitations and any of the restricted shares may be sold by a non-affiliate after they have been held two years. Sales of our common stock by our affiliates are subject to Rule 144.
8 |
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. In addition, as a consequence of such failure, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we could be subject to regulatory action or other litigation and our operating results could be harmed.
During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal accounting controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Investors should not anticipate receiving cash dividends on our common stock.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We may issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval that may adversely affect your rights as a holder of our common stock.
Upon our amending our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 50 million shares of “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a series of preferred stock with rights to receive dividends and distributions upon liquidation in preference to any dividends or distributions upon liquidation to holders of our common stock and with conversion, redemption, voting or other rights which could dilute the economic interest and voting rights of our common stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock could also be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or making removal of our management more difficult, which may not be in your interest as holders of common stock.
Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and under Nevada law could inhibit a takeover at a premium price.
Our bylaws limit who may call a special meeting of stockholders and establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholder meetings. Each of these provisions may have the effect to discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or making removal of our management more difficult, which may not be in your interest as holders of common stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report.
Overview and History
The Company’s predecessor, Green Energy Corp. was originally organized as a Colorado corporation, referred to in this document as “Old Green Energy”, commenced operations in 2003 as a marketer of a specific gasification technology for commercial applications to produce fuels and chemicals. In December 2006, Old Green Energy reincorporated as a Nevada corporation and changed its name to Green Energy Holding Corp.
On December 28, 2008, GEHC entered into a stock purchase agreement to issue 14,370,300 shares to accredited investors for $175,000, giving those outside investors approximately 96.5% controlling interest in the Company.
On March 10, 2009, the Company amended the Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Green Energy Holding Corp. to Energy Holdings International, Inc.
Our Business
The Company was originally organized in October 2003 to capitalize on the growing market for alternative fuels and its co-products. The Company acquired a non-exclusive license to a specific technology for the conversion of biomass to synthesis gas (“syngas”). The technology includes the ability to produce a consistent, high-quality syngas product that can be used for energy production or as a building block for other chemical manufacturing processes.
Through the end of calendar 2008, our growth strategy has encompassed a multi-pronged approach which is geared at ultimately developing production levels and lowering production costs, thereby driving profitability.
Following the sale of 96.5% of the Company’s capital stock at the end of calendar 2008, the Company decided to modify its focus, concentrating on acquiring, developing and managing cash producing oil and gas properties in the Middle East, Asia and the Americas, particularly in the middle region of the United States. It aspires to find new, long-term energy solutions that are safe, economically viable and environmentally friendly to enhance the future of countries and economies worldwide. It is responding to international, political, environmental and free market demands for investments in the Independent Power Project (IPP) market with safer, cleaner and more technologically advanced energy sources. The Company is dedicated to the task of providing the best management and advisory services available in the complex arena of international business and project development in oil and gas production and power generation.
Our corporate headquarters is located at 12012 Wickchester Lane, Suite 130, Houston, Texas 77079, and our telephone number is (281) 752-7314. You can locate us on the web at http://www.energyhii.com.

General and Administrative Expenses - We incurred general and administrative expenses of $1,354,100 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to $1,475,466 for the same period in 2014, a 9% increase. The change is due to increased costs in many spending categories.
Depreciation – depreciation expense was unchanged from the previous year. All of the assets are being depreciated using the straight line method. Therefore, the amount of expense does not change from period to period.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative – we had a gain of $20,959 in this category for the year ended June 30, 2014 whereas we had a loss of $1,476 in the same category during 2013.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment – we had a loss during the year ended June 30, 2013 of $7,447 on extinguishments of certain trade payables. We had no such loss during the current year.
Interest Expense – our interest expenses amounted to $20,924 during the current year ended June 30, 2014 versus $8,060 for the same period in 2013 owing to higher debt levels.
Our ability to achieve profitable operations depends on developing revenue through additional consulting contracts and from the operation of oil & gas and power generation facilities both domestically and abroad. We do not expect to be profitable until we acquire our first oil and gas property. However, given the uncertainties surrounding the timing and nature of such acquisitions, we cannot assure you that we will show profitable results at any time.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2014, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $190,528.
Net cash used in operating activities was $760,411 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net cash used of $787,597 for the same period in 2013. The difference (a decrease in cash used of $27,186) is mostly due to changes in operating assets and liabilities and stock-based compensation.
Cash flows provided by financing activities was $949,349 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $778,673 for the same period in 2013. The increase is mostly due to cash proceeds from related parties.
We anticipate funding any capital expenditures over the next 12 months through the issuance of equity or debt. We are continuing to evaluate both oil & gas and power generation assets.
We are currently in discussions with several intermediaries, advisors and investors to structure and raise the funds to optimally finance various potential projects. We are evaluating debt and equity placements at the corporate level as well as project specific capital opportunities. At the present time, we have no commitments for any additional financing, and there can be no assurance that, if needed, additional capital will be available to use on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital as needed would significantly restrict our growth and hinder out ability to compete. We may need to curtail expenses, and forgo business opportunities. Additional equity financings are likely to be dilutive to holders of our common stock and debt financing, if available, may involve significant payment obligation and covenants that restrict how we operate our business.
If we are unable to secure funds to finance various potential projects, we may examine other possibilities, including, but not limited to, mergers or acquisitions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have three leases for office space and corporate apartments in Dubai and in Houston. Our office lease in Houston runs until December 31, 2014 and is approximately $4,000 per month. In Dubai, there is a corporate apartment lease under the name of our Chief Financial Officer, Jalal Alghani, which runs until March, 2015 and is approximately $38,000 per year. Our office space in Dubai runs until February 18, 2015, and is approximately $81,000 per year.
13 |
The obligations above are operating leases and, as such, are not recorded as liabilities on our balance sheet. See Note 10 for a summary of these payouts over the next five years.
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 1 to our financial statements as included in this filing. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
On July 1, 2010, the Company adopted guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Beginning on July 1, 2010, the Company also applied the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which includes goodwill and intangible assets. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
• | Level 1 - Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. | |
• | Level 2 -Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable in the market. | |
• | Level 3 - Valuation is based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use. |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.
The Company reviews the terms of the common stock, warrants and convertible debt it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
14 |
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value.
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.
The fair value of the derivatives is estimated using a lattice-binomial option pricing model and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These models utilize a series of inputs and assumptions to arrive at a fair value at the date of inception and each reporting period. An option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the warrant and discount rates.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is comprised principally of service and consulting revenue from work performed for customers under master service arrangements. Revenue is recognized over the period of the agreement as it is earned as such policy complies with the following criteria: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the services have been provided; (iii) the fee is fixed and determinable, (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In the event that a customer pays up front, deferred revenue is recognized for the amount of the payment in excess of the revenue earned.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company is required to recognize expense of options or similar equity instruments issued to employees using the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based payments in compliance with ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50 – Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASC 718 covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance –based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Application of this pronouncement requires significant judgment regarding the assumptions used in the selected option pricing model, including stock price volatility and employee exercise behavior. Most of these inputs are either highly dependent on the current economic environment at the date of grant or forward-looking over the expected term of the award. The Company typically uses the lattice model to value options and similar equity instruments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
• | Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and |
15 |
• | Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense. |
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion thereof, in the statement of financial position as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions related to availability. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The new guidance requires that share-based compensation that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
16 |
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation , to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The early adoption of ASU 2014-10 removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Energy Holdings International, Inc.
12012 Wickchester Lane, Suite 130
Houston, Texas 77079
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Energy Holdings International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Energy Holdings International, Inc. as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company suffered net losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ENERGY HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Energy Holdings International, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 30, 2006 as a successor corporation to Green Energy Corp. which was incorporated in the State of Colorado on October 14, 2003. Green Energy Corp. acquired Green Energy Holding Corp. on December 18, 2006.
On March 10, 2009, the Company amended the Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Green Energy Holding Corp. to Energy Holdings International, Inc.
The Company is a holding company that also provides consulting services and is currently exploring various opportunities in the energy area. EHII’s management has been in active discussions with several potential companies, either to acquire, manage, or joint venture with these entities. However, as of the date of this filing, no definitive agreements or arrangements have been finalized.
The Company has consolidated the accounts of Energy Holdings International – Middle East/North Africa DMCC (“EHII – MENA”), formerly Advance Energy DMCC, a firm in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, into its financial statements.
Fiscal year
The Company employs a fiscal year ending June 30.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 or 2013.
At June 30, 2014, we had the U.S. Dollar equivalent of $173,807 on deposit at Emirates Bank in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (the “UAE”). At this time, the UAE does not provide deposit coverage equivalent to that provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
Foreign currencies
The Company maintains bank accounts in Dubai whose balances and transactions are denominated in Dirhams of the United Arab Emirates (AED). The AED is tied to the US Dollar and, as such, there are no foreign currency gains or losses.
The Company’s functional currency is the US Dollar.
23 |
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share. The weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 38,731,348 and 35,765,107, respectively. The earnings per share on a basic and diluted basis for the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was ($0.04) for both years.
In presenting net income (loss) per share, we segregate net income or loss as resulting from normal operations, extraordinary items and discontinued operations.
Fair Value Measurements
On July 1, 2010, the Company adopted guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Beginning on July 1, 2010, the Company also applied the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which includes goodwill and intangible assets. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
• | Level 1 - Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. |
• | Level 2 -Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable in the market. |
• | Level 3 - Valuation is based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use. |
24 |
The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 on a recurring and non-recurring basis:
Description | Fiscal Year Ended June 30, | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Gains (Losses) | ||||||||||||||
Derivatives (recurring) | 2014 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 26,541 | $ | 20,959 | ||||||||||
2013 | — | — | — | (1,476 | ) |
At June 30, 2012, the Company had derivative liabilities as a result of a 2011 convertible promissory note that includes embedded derivatives. These liabilities were valued with the assistance of a valuation consultant and consisted of level 3 valuation techniques. These liabilities were fully paid and extinguished during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
At June 30, 2014, the Company had derivative liabilities as a result of a convertible promissory issued on April 4, 2014 that includes embedded derivatives. These liabilities were valued with the assistance of a valuation consultant and consisted of level 3 valuation techniques.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of short-term debt also approximates fair value since their terms are similar to those in the lending market for comparable loans with comparable risks.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.
The Company reviews the terms of the common stock, warrants and convertible debt it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value.
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.
25 |
The fair value of the derivatives is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, lattice-binomial option pricing model and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These models utilize a series of inputs and assumptions to arrive at a fair value at the date of inception and each reporting period. An option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the warrant and discount rates.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is comprised principally of service and consulting revenue from work performed for customers under master service arrangements. Revenue is recognized over the period of the agreement as it is earned as such policy complies with the following criteria: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the services have been provided; (iii) the fee is fixed and determinable, (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In the event that a customer pays up front, deferred revenue is recognized for the amount of the payment in excess of the revenue earned.
Financial instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Such instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company is required to recognize expense of options or similar equity instruments issued to employees using the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based payments in compliance with ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50 – Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASC 718 covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance –based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Application of this pronouncement requires significant judgment regarding the assumptions used in the selected option pricing model, including stock price volatility and employee exercise behavior. Most of these inputs are either highly dependent on the current economic environment at the date of grant or forward-looking over the expected term of the award. The Company typically uses the lattice model to value options and similar equity instruments.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under the straight line method over each item’s estimated useful life.
Income tax
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 – Income Taxes. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Reclassifications
Certain information reported for previous periods has been reclassified for consistency with current financial information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
• | Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and |
• | Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense. |
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion thereof, in the statement of financial position as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions related to availability. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The new guidance requires that share-based compensation that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation , to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The early adoption of ASU 2014-10 removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we had losses of $1,483,884 and $1,379,517, respectively, in 2014 and 2013 and had accumulated deficit of $7,020,589 as of June 30, 2014.
These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Management plans to finance our continuing operations by selling common stock or issuance of debt.

The net operating losses begin to expire in 2024.
NOTE 6. NOTES PAYABLE
On April 7, 2011, we issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $42,500 in exchange for cash which contained an embedded derivative. We fully paid that promissory note during fiscal year 2013 and recorded a loss on the change in value of the derivative of $1,476.
On April 1, 2014, we issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $47,500 in exchange for cash. The note bears interest at 8% and matures December 1, 2014. In the event of default, the amount due is 150% of unpaid principal and interest. Due to the embedded derivative feature, a debt discount of $47,500 was recorded on the convertible note. During the period, the debt discount has been amortized $7,164 and the remaining balance of the debt discount is $40,336 as of June 30, 2014.
This note may be prepaid according to the following table:
Date From | Date To | Prepayment |
Date of note | 30 days | Outstanding principal times 112% plus accrued interest |
31 days | 60 days | Outstanding principal times 119% plus accrued interest |
61 days | 90 days | Outstanding principal times 125% plus accrued interest |
91 days | 120 days | Outstanding principal times 129% plus accrued interest |
121 days | 150 days | Outstanding principal times 134% plus accrued interest |
151 days | 180 days | Outstanding principal times 139% plus accrued interest |
The promissory note can be converted into common stock according to the following terms:
• | Period of conversion eligibility: September 30, 2014 until fully paid. |
• | Conversion price: 58% of the average of the lowest three days’ closing price during the previous 10 trading days leading up to the date of conversion or $0.00009, whichever is greater. |
See Note 8 for a discussion of the derivative liability.
On June 4, 2013, we entered into a promissory note with an investor in the Middle East to provide us $100,000 of working capital. As is required by Sharia law, the promissory note bears no interest and has the following repayment terms: $25,000 due on September 1, 2013, $25,000 due on December 1, 2013, $25,000 due on April 1, 2014, and $25,000 on July 1, 2014. As of the filing of this report, none of the scheduled payments have been made and the loan is in default. For the year ended June 30, 2014, we imputed $8,000 of imputed interest, increasing Additional Paid in Capital and Interest Expense by that amount.
30 |
On October 1, 2013, we entered into an agreement with a consultant to remove $40,000 in trade accounts payable and codify the debt as a promissory note. The note is callable at any time and bears interest at 18% with interest beginning to accrue on December 1, 2013 until the note is fully paid. As of June 30, 2014, we have paid $11,160, in principal and accrued and paid $4,013 and 3,840 in interest, respectively.
NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common stock
Stock transactions during the year ended June 30, 2013
At the beginning of the fiscal year, July 1, 2012, we had 35,154,006 shares issued and outstanding. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, we had the following stock transactions:
• | We issued 677,000 shares for cash, raising $427,000 in operating capital. |
• | We issued 825,000 shares to consultant and directors for services. We valued the shares at their grant date fair values and charged general and administrative expense collectively with $48,160. |
• | We entered into a subscription agreement with an accredited investor in Saudi Arabia to sell 500,000 shares for $1 per share. We received 948,936 UAE Dirhams (US $258,311) as an advance against this subscription. Since we will issue the shares only when all of the subscription is paid in full, we recorded the cash receipt as a stock payable. |
Stock transactions during the year ended June 30, 2014
We issued 1,100,000 common shares for $810,000 in cash.
On July 25, 2013, we issued 50,000 shares to a consultant. We valued the shares at the closing price on the grant date ($0.49), and charged general and administrative expense with $24,500.
Also on July 25, 2013, we issued 700,000 shares to a consultant to serve as an advisor to our board of directors. We valued the shares at the closing price on the grant date ($0.49), and charged general and administrative expense with $343,000.
On August 19, 2013, we issued one million shares to a consultant in the Middle East to serve on our advisory board. These shares were granted on May 1, 2013 and were included in Common Stock Committed as of June 30, 2013. The issuance of these shares reduced the common stock committed balance by $100,000.
Also on August 19, 2013, we issued 250,000 shares to an investor pursuant to his subscription agreements for 500,000 shares. Prior to July 1, 2013, we had received 258,311 in advances pursuant to his subscription agreement. The issuance of these shares reduced the Common Stock Committed item on our Balance Sheet by $258,311.
Preferred stock
At June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 25 million shares of authorized preferred stock, to have such preferences as the Board of Directors may set from time to time, $.001 par value, with no shares issued and outstanding.
31 |
Stock options and other dilutive securities
Non-employee stock options
The Company accounts for non-employee stock options under ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50 – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, whereby option costs are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Common Stock Payable
On November 22, 2012 we received a payment in the amount of $258,311 from an investor in Saudi Arabia pursuant to a subscription agreement for the sale of 500,000 shares at $1. As of June 30, 2013, we had not yet issued any shares to this investor. The entire amount of $258,311 was included in Common Stock Committed at June 30, 2013. The shares were issued to this investor on August 19, 2013, extinguishing the $258,311 in common stock payable.
On January 1, 2013, we granted 100,000 shares to a Director for serving on the Board of Directors from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. In addition, we granted this Director an additional 25,000 shares per quarter. We valued all 200,000 shares at the fair value on the grant date (January 1, 2013) and charged General and Administrative Expense $12,000, increased Additional Paid in Capital for those shares issued during the fiscal year (100,000 plus the first 25,000 stock payment, or $7,500), and increasing Common Stock Committed for those shares that had not (75,000 shares, or $4,500).
On May 1, 2013, we granted 1 million shares to a consultant in the Middle East to serve on our Advisory Board. We valued the shares at the fair value on the grant date, charging General and Administrative Expense with $100,000 and increasing Additional Paid in Capital with the same amount. These shares were issued on August 19, 3013, extinguishing the $100,00 in common stock payable.
Sale of shares of stock and 10% option to purchase equity of subsidiary
On July 21, 2011, we signed an agreement with PriSe Power and Energy Limited (“PriSe”), a local Bangladesh company, to sell 25% of our yet-to-be-formed subsidiary which will own the rights to the two 225 MW combined-cycle power plants in Bangladesh (the “Bangladesh subsidiary”) in exchange for $4 million upon obtaining the Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”).. The PPA has not been obtained as of the date of this filing and no cash has been funded to the company out of the total $4 million that is promised. In addition, PriSe has agreed to complete the PPA and Implementation Agreement for the project and obtain all necessary approvals with the controlling authorities within the government of Bangladesh as partial EHII compensation for the 25% interest in the project.
In addition, we conveyed an option to purchase 10% of the operating subsidiary to an investor as part of our agreement to raise $1 million in operating capital (see above in this explanatory note and Note 8 ). The 10% equity is contingent upon financial close of the project.
As of the date of this report, we have not yet closed the project on the Bangladesh power plant.
NOTE 8. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
On April 1, 2014, we issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $47,500 containing an embedded derivative (see Note 6).
We analyzed the derivative liability in accordance with EITF 07-05 and ASC 820. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
32 |
We valued the derivative at issuance (April 1, 2014), and again at the end of our fiscal year (June 30, 2014). The following assumptions were used in valuing the derivative liability using the Lattice model associated with the Convertible Promissory Note at April 1, 2014 and June 30, 2014:
• | The underlying stock price $0.07 and $0.061 was used as the fair value of the common stock; |
• | The promissory note face amount issued April 1, 2014 is $47,500 and effectively converts at a discount of 52% at the issuance and 42% at the quarter’s end. |
• | Capital raising events are not a factor for this Note; |
• | The Holder would redeem based on availability of alternative financing, 0% of the time increasing 1.0% monthly to a maximum of 10%; |
• | The Holder would automatically convert the note at maturity if the registration (after 120 days) was effective and the company was not in default; |
• | The projected annual volatility for each valuation period was based on the historic volatility of the company - 1 year volatility at April 1, 2014: 361%; at June 30, 2014: 402%. |
• | An event of default would occur 0% of the time, increasing 1.00% per month to a maximum of 5% – to-date the Notes are not in default nor converted by the holder. |

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-14 as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013 (under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Accounting Officer), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. As part of such evaluation, management considered the matters discussed below relating to internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014 due to lack of employees to segregate duties related to preparing the financial reports. Management is attempting to correct this weakness by raising additional funds to hire additional employees. Management with the assistance of its Securities Counsel will closely monitor all future filings to ensure that the company filings are made on a timely manner.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as accounting functions in Dubai are performed by individuals lacking appropriate oversight by those with accounting and financial reporting expertise. The officers of the Company do not possess accounting expertise and our company does not have an audit committee. This weakness is due to the company’s lack of working capital to hire additional staff. To remedy this material weakness, management is considering hiring additional staff or outsourcing some or all of the Company’s accounting functions to those with the appropriate level of accounting expertise.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
The Company’s management carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014. The Company’s management based its evaluation on criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2014.
