PART I

 

ITEM 1.            DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

Technical Industries & Energy, Corp. (“TIE” or the “Company”) was founded in the State of Delaware on November 29, 2006. On January 3, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement with Technical Industries, Inc., (“TII”) a Louisiana corporation founded May 11, 1971 whereby TII became our wholly owned operating subsidiary. On September 9, 2008 we changed our name to Energy & Technology Corp. The Company’s activities are directed towards manufacturing, reclamation of essential commodities, energy, technology, sugar, biofuel, oil & gas equipment and products. We plan to expand our operations and may acquire other companies with services and products which complements existing services and products and offer our latest technology exploration or other where needed, help the energy company reach deep energy reserves that present technology cannot reach and increase opportunities for income, growth and financing. Our business offices are located at Petroleum Towers, Suite 530 P.O. Box 52523, Lafayette, LA, 70505. Our telephone number is (337) 984-2000.

 

We are headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana with a branch office and production facilities in Houston, Texas and Abbeville, Louisiana. We offer several services, which can be described as engineering, manufacturing, reclamation, sales, and non-destructive testing (“NDT”) services, storage, maintenance for pipe and equipment utilized in the energy industry.

 

NDT is more fully described as the application of industry-wide and/or proprietary test methods to examine pipe and equipment utilized in the energy industry, or any object, material or system associated therewith, without impairing their future usefulness. An essential characteristic of NDT is that the examination process does not change the composition, shape, integrity or properties of the test object, thus allowing the object to be utilized for the purpose for which it was manufactured. The end result is less time involved in testing, lower costs and less waste of materials than other forms of pipe inspection that require that the test object be destroyed.

 

Through our staff of industrial, electrical and computer engineers, we offer engineering services to assist our customers in the design, improvement, installation, and/or integration of NDT components and systems.  The services, which vary according to the needs of the customer, focus on design, layout, testing, and troubleshooting of NDT systems hardware and software.

 

We also manufacture our own proprietary ultrasonic NDT electronic equipment systems, which perform the NDT services including ultrasonic inspection, electromagnetic inspection and others. The layout and design of the systems’ physical components are produced and tested by our engineers. Once the design has passed testing, the individual components are built into the design. Some of the components, such as the circuit boards, may be assembled by a third party before being incorporated into the design. Last, the final assembly is integrated with proprietary inspection software developed by our programmers.

 

Another component of our business consists of selling pipe and equipment used in exploration, drilling, and production of oil and gas.  The manufactured pipe and equipment is supplied to us by various steel mills in finished or unfinished form for us to process. Before the pipe and equipment is offered to our customers for sale, it must undergo further processing, such as blasting, threading, coating, and non-destructive testing inspection before being turned into a final product.  We mostly sell oilfield pipe and equipment that has passed inspection and meets or exceeds API (American Petroleum Institute) and/or customer specifications.

 

Lastly, we provide manufacturing, reclamation including ultrasonic pipe inspection technology. Services include full-length electromagnetic inspection for pipe and equipment utilized in the energy industry, and full length ultrasonic inspection systems for new and used pipe including drill stem, tubing, casing, and line pipe. We offer several different types of electromagnetic and ultrasonic inspection processes, each of which is tailored to the inspection of a particular pipe characteristic, such as size, length, wall thickness, ovality, or detection of a particular pipe defect. The type of process is determined by the customer according to their particular needs.

 

All of the pipe and equipment that enters our facilities are carefully documented and incorporated into our propriety inventory tracking system, which is accessible to customers on the World Wide Web. Through this system, the customer is able to obtain real-time storage and inspection information on his pipe and equipment that is located at our facilities.

 

We operate year-round, 24 hours a day, seven days a week when needed, and the number of people employed averages 50, including contractors.

 

Today, we continue to serve the energy industry by manufacturing and maintaining proprietary systems that detect, and collect all available defects and wall thickness and outside diameter/ovality readings and store them in their proper position on the pipe, produce a three-dimensional image of the pipe, and allow the engineer to simulate burst, collapse, and pull apart the pipe on the computer prior to drilling. This helps energy companies reach reserves that otherwise cannot be reached with present technology. As a result of this advanced technology, the American Petroleum Institute (API) appointed Mr. George M. Sfeir, to serve on their 2008 committee for non-contact inspection. Technical Industries, Inc. developed US Patent No. 7,263,887 and international patent pending inspection technology needed in order to reach deep energy reserves present technology cannot reach. The U.S. patent is current until 2039.

We serve customers in Houston, Texas, Newfoundland, Canada, and Lafayette, Abbeville, Louisiana, the Rockies, and we plan on expanding to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, Mexico, and other parts of the World. Our customer base of over 50 accounts consists of oil companies, steel mills, material suppliers, drilling companies, material rental companies, and engineering companies. We handle regular projects and specialize in deep water projects including BP Crazy Horse, ExxonMobil Alabama Bay and ExxonMobil Grand Canyon, Sakhalin Island and Caspian Sea, Texas A&M University Ocean Explorer, and other projects.

 

Additional services include full-length electromagnetic inspection for oil-field pipe and equipment and full length ultrasonic inspection systems for new and used tubing, casing and line-pipe, wet or dry Magnetic Particle Inspection ("MPI"); Dye Penetrant Testing ("PT"), or Ultrasonic Testing of the End Areas ("UT SEA") of plain end and threaded connections, including drill collars and drilling rig inspection; mill systems and mill surveillance; testing and consulting services. Today we continue to serve the energy industry niche by manufacturing and maintaining proprietary systems that are capable of detecting defects through the use of our patented technology.

 

ITEM 1A.         RISK FACTORS

 

COMPETITORS MAY DEVELOP SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY OR PATENT SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY, AND MAKE THIS TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

 

Competitors may develop similar technology or similar patents and make the technology available to our current customers at a lower cost or on better contractual terms. If this were to occur our customer base would be reduced which would in turn lower our revenues.

 

OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT, IN PART, ON THE PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUED SERVICE OF GEORGE M. SFEIR. WITHOUT HIS CONTINUED SERVICE, WE MAY BE FORCED TO INTERRUPT OR EVENTUALLY CEASE OUR OPERATIONS.

 

We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of George M. Sfeir our Chief Executive Officer and director. We currently do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Sfeir. The loss of his services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.

 

GEORGE M. SFEIR HAS MAJORITY VOTING CONTROL OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

Mr. Sfeir and family members have the voting proxy for the majority of the voting stock of the Company, which includes Sfeir Family Trust and American Interest, LLC. Majority of our shares are held by three entities (the Sfeir Family Trust, American Interest, LLC and AM Financials).  

 

WE ARE IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET AND WE ARE UNSURE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE ANY CONSUMER DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

 

Some of our competitors are much larger and better capitalized than we are. It may be possible that our competitors will better address the same market opportunities that we are addressing. These competitors, either alone or with collaborative partners, may succeed in developing business models that are more effective or have greater market success than our own. The Company is especially susceptible to larger manufacturers that invest more money in research and development. Moreover, the market for our products is large but highly competitive. There is little or no hard data that substantiates the demand for our products or how this demand will be segmented. It is possible that there will be low consumer demand for our products, or that interest in our products could decline or die out, which would cause us to be unable to sustain our operations.

 

We primarily serve the energy industry, which is a highly volatile and politically driven industry.  Significant decreases in oil prices or changes in the political landscape could adversely affect the demand for our products and services.

 

WHILE NO CURRENT LAWSUITS ARE FILED AGAINST THE COMPANY, THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT A CLAIM OF SOME KIND MAY BE MADE IN THE FUTURE.

 

The Company has resolved several lawsuits, including one labor dispute, and won a Chinese company oil rig case, and is involved in one lawsuit and the possibility exists that additional claims of some kind may be made in the future.  While we will work to insure high product quality and accuracy in all marketing and labeling, no assurance can be given that some claims for damages will not arise. While we plan to properly insure ourselves with standard product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that this insurance will be adequate to cover litigation expenses and any awards to plaintiffs.

 

The types of claims that could be made against the Company consists primarily of product liability claims associated with a failure of pipe stem and oil country tubular products used for exploration.  The Company maintains general liability insurance of $6,000,000, including a $4,000,000 umbrella policy.

ITEM 7.             MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

General

 

We have a patented process which can help companies within the energy industry reach deep energy reserves other equipment cannot. 

 

The following list highlights a few areas of opportunity to expand the Company's business:

 

Sales and marketing efforts: Although we have been impacted by the downturn in the national and global economies, we are now implementing an aggressive marketing and sales effort. We have hired a new sales team who are aggressively pursuing the market and have successfully recruited new clients and rejuvenated existing clients. Currently, we are focused on sales, marketing, and promotional activities for the Company. Management believes revenue can be increased by expanding the Company's sales force and organizing a marketing department in order to increase our market share.

 

Applying for additional patents to protect proprietary rights:  We have developed international patent-pending new inspection technology needed in order to reach deep energy reserves present technology cannot reach.  Our expandable inspection technology helps the companies in the energy industry retrieve a large amount of energy reserves that cannot be retrieved with current technology.  We have manufactured several pieces of equipment in-house that have enabled us to successfully serve the energy industry.  Due to proprietary infringement risk, we have discontinued manufacturing the equipment for sale to third parties.  By securing a patent protecting our proprietary technology, we could consider manufacturing equipment for sale again, which would open a new line of revenue.

 

Introduction of complementary services: We are continually adding new services in order to meet customer demand. Most recently, we began drilling equipment inspection services and added a manufacturing facility and pipe and equipment sales company. Other areas management has identified as potential growth avenues include vessel inspection and inspection of pipelines in service. In 2010, we opened our pipe threading facility containing threading equipment which can be attached to the inspection assembly line to provide additional services for a very low increased cost to our customers.

 

Geographic expansion in the domestic and international markets: We currently derive the majority of revenue from the Houston, Texas market, where many of our clients are based. There are several other markets that could be better served, such as in Louisiana where a new plant in Abbeville, Louisiana has been constructed in order to serve the deep wells in the Gulf of Mexico. This plant was ready for operations in 2008. Other expansions are being considered through the opening of additional full-service, local plants. Furthermore, we maintain relations with sales representatives in the Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Middle East markets that could be better utilized if we are able to locally serve customers. Lastly, we have Canadian customers that utilize our services on a limited basis, due to the high cost of shipping heavy pipes. To date, we have not had the capital or human resources to establish plants in these potential markets.

 

6
 

 

We continue to seek other companies which can complement essential commodities, energy, technology manufacturing, reclamation, pipe and inspection business with the goal of securing these businesses through a combination of cash and stock payments.  All of these expansion plans rely heavily on raising capital through a public offering of additional stock which would be used to fund our acquisitions. 

 

We have a customer base of over 150 accounts, and are continually expanding our customer base to increase revenue growth. Currently, we serve customers that are oil companies, steel mills, material suppliers, drilling companies, material rental companies and engineering companies. Our customer relationships average over ten years which provides us repeat business.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company has identified the following accounting policies to be the critical accounting policies of the Company:

 

Revenue Recognition.  Revenue for inspection services is recognized upon completion of the services rendered.  Revenue for the sales of pipe is recognized when pipe is delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risks of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable.

 

Inventory.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost determined by the specific identification method or market.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, inventory consisted of pipe available for sale.

  

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures for property and equipment and items that substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated. Routine expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment disposed of are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.  Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets capitalized.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets.  In the event facts and circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of long-lived assets may be impaired, the Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets using the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down is required.  Any impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the impaired asset.

 

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014

 

At December 31, 2014, total assets amounted to $7,432,021 compared to $10,356,561 at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $2,924,540, or 28.24%.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s cash of $791,347, a decrease in property and equipment held for operations of $476,658, and a decrease in inventory of $1,142,570. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other assets of $54,097 and an increase in deferred tax asset of $193,623.

 

Our liabilities at December 31, 2014, totaled $9,525,854 compared to $5,919,824 at December 31, 2013, an increase of $3,606,031, or 60.91%.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in notes payable of $3,618,429, an increase in accounts payable of $628,275, and an increase in rent of $20,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in due to affiliates of $552,416 and a decrease in income tax payable of $124,649.

 

Total stockholder’s equity decreased from $4,436,737 at December 31, 2013, to $(2,093,833) at December 31, 2014.  This decrease was due to net loss generated for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $2,574,974 and by the purchase of the Company’s common stock held in Treasury Stock in the amount of $(4,076,441).

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company’s cash decreased from $1,875,187 at December 31, 2013, to $1,083,840 at December 31, 2014. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the Company’s purchase of fixed assets.

 

Inventory

 

We began purchasing pipe for sale to customers in late 2007.  This was an opportunity for us to expand our services to our customers.  Inventory of pipe at December 31, 2014 was $1,166,478 compared to $2,309,048 at December 31, 2013.  It is anticipated that the Company will continue its efforts to expand its sales of oilfield pipe. This decrease is primarily attributable to pipe sales.

 

7
 

 

Property and Equipment

 

The decrease in property and equipment of $476,658 is primarily due to depreciation of $911,646 at December 31, 2014 partially offset by the purchase of equipment of $433,393. In 2014, no Property and Equipment held for investment was transferred.

 

Deferred Tax Asset/Income Taxes Payable

 

Due to the Company’s loss for the year ended December 31, 2014, our deferred tax asset associated with the net operating loss, federal contributions, capital loss carry-forwards, and general business credits has increased by $193,623 to a balance of $1,156,059 at December 31, 2014.  

 

Accounts Payable

 

Accounts payable at December 31, 2014 totaled $2,737,988 compared to $2,109,713 at December 31, 2013, an increase of $628,275. This increase is primarily attributable to the cost of a vendor’s pipe which was accrued as a liability when sold.

 

Common Stock Outstanding

 

On April 1, 2009, we entered into an agreement with our majority stockholders whereby the stockholders agreed to cancel 165,100,000 common shares, respectively, for the consideration to be re-issued in the future. In 2010, the Company re-issued 115,100,000 of those shares with 50,000,000 still owed to the stockholders. On December 30, 2009, we agreed to issue 5,580,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for the remaining balance due to a supplier of equipment to the Company, which totaled $3,935,217 at December 31, 2009. In 2011, the Company issued 256,900 shares to key managers and others who management felt were responsible for helping the company return to profitability. In 2012, the Company issued an additional 92,550 shares to key managers and others. In 2013, the Company issued an additional 41,167 shares to key managers and others in consideration for their help in returning the Company to profitability. In 2014, the company purchased 3,617,075 shares.

 

Discussion of Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2014 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2013

 

Revenues

 

Our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014, was $3,956,612 compared to $5,335,553 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $1,378,941, or 25.8%.  The decrease is attributable primarily to the decrease in pipe sales of $221,398, and a decrease of storage fees which decreased $121,117 from $556,517 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $435,400 for the year ended December 31, 2014. This decrease was a result of the market’s correction for the recovery from the moratorium on deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico due the British Petroleum oil disaster and increased market competition. This decrease was accompanied by a decrease of Inspection Fees which decreased $1,212,161 from $2,493,238 in 2013 to $1,281,077 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The following table presents the composition of revenue for the year December 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

Exploration Technologies  $1,281,077    32.4%  $2,493,238    63.0%  $(1,212,161)
Drilling, OCTG, & Equipment Sales  $822,844    20.8%  $1,044,242    26.4%  $(221,398)
Warehous & Storage Fees  $435,400    11.0%  $556,517    14.1%  $(121,117)
Rebillable Income  $257,328    6.5%  $298,373    7.5%  $(41,046)
Manufacturing  $1,159,963    29.3%  $943,183    23.8%  $216,780 
Total Revenue  $3,956,612    100.0%  $5,335,553    100.0%  $(1,378,941)

 

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

 

Our cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014, was $3,822,826, or 96.6% of revenues, compared to $3,749,039, or 70.3% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The overall increase in our cost of revenue is primarily due to the increase in Transportation Costs which included in the Other Costs of Revenue. The primary reason for the increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was due to the increase in inspection fees in relation to the amount of fixed costs included in our cost of revenue, such as depreciation on equipment and facilities, and insurance. Additionally, pipe is sold at a lower margin in relation to our service revenues.

The following table presents the composition of cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

   2014   2013   Variance 
Cost of Revenue:  Dollars   Percentage   Dollars   Percentage   Dollars 
                     
Employees and Related Costs  $522,714    13.7%  $482,575    12.6%  $40,140 
Materials and Supplies   798,513    20.9%   1,089,814    28.5%  $(291,301)
Contractors   679,787    17.8%   823,462    21.5%  $(143,675)
Depreciation and Amortization   821,499    21.5%   840,654    22.0%  $(19,155)

Insurance   157,926    4.1%   154,549    4.0%  $3,376 
Other Costs   727,216    19.0%   259,550    6.8%  $467,666 
Total Cost of Revenues  $3,822,826    100.0%  $3,749,039    98.1%  $73,787 

 

We have utilized the services of contractors to assist us as needed to provide timely and quality service to our customers.  We will continue our efforts to attract employees and retain qualified individuals to serve the needs of our customers.  The decrease in depreciation expense was the result of disposal of equipment through a sale and assets being fully depreciated. The decrease in other materials and supplies is due primarily to the decrease in sales of pipe.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, our operating expenses totaled $2,850,933, as compared to $1,895,678 in 2013, representing an increase of $955,255, or 50.39%.  The largest component of our operating expenses for 2014 consists of salaries and wages, professional fees, rent, depreciation, and other costs.  Salaries and wages for general and administrative personnel was $472,218 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $517,622 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $45,404, or 8.77%.  The decrease is attributable to the decrease in administrative pay pertaining to pipe sales.

 

Professional services expense increased from $442,755 for the year ended December 31, 2013, to $639,126 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $196,371, or 44.35%.  The increase is primarily a result of an increase in attorney fees resulting from resolved legal matters and the application for the Houston facility free trade zone.

 

Rent expense totaled $34,320 for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $69,798 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $35,478, or 50.83%.  Rent expense for both the year ended December 31, 2014, and for the year ended December 31, 2013, pertains primarily to our rental of office space for our headquarters in Lafayette as well as our rental of land and facilities for operating purposes. 

 

Other Income and Expense

 

Other income and expense consists of investment income, gain or loss on sale of assets, and interest expense.  For the year ended December 31, 2014, other expense, net of other income, totaled $51,450, as compared to other expense, net of other income, totaled $70,641 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease is attributable primarily to the decrease of interest expense.

 

Investment income, which consists of interest, dividends, realized gains and losses, and unrealized gains and losses, amounted to $13,226 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to investment income of $19,465 for the year ended December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, investment income consisted primarily of interest income of $13,159 and dividend income of $129.  At December 31, 2014, the investment account consisted solely of cash equivalents.

 

Interest expense totaled $64,462 for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $160,106 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $95,644, or 59.74%.  Interest expense pertains primarily to amounts due to affiliates as well as to our notes payable with third parties.

 

Provision for income taxes

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we reported an income tax benefit of $193,623 , compared to an income tax benefit of $132,668 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $60,955, or 45.95%, which was attributable to the increased net loss for the year.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

At December 31, 2014, we had $1,083,840 in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash outflows have consisted primarily of expenses associated with continued operations.  Cash outflows for investing purposes have consisted primarily of the acquisition of equipment and other technology to better serve our customers.  Most of the costs of those acquisitions have been offset by the sale of excess equipment. Currently, we have been able to utilize our relationships with affiliated entities to stabilize our liquidity needs.

We believe we can satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash and expected revenues. However, completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate revenue.  We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In the absence of our projected revenues, we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. Even without adequate revenues within the next twelve months, we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we may require financing to potentially achieve our growth goals.

 

In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required, and we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core services.  Should this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to support the continued operation of our business.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements and No. 104, Revenue Recognition.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance which relates to deconsolidation events. Under this amendment, when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of the default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in Subtopic 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment - Real Estate Sales, to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. This guidance was effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2011, The FASB issued authoritative guidance to provide enhanced disclosures in the financial statements about offsetting and netting arrangements. The new guidance requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. This guidance was issued to facilitate comparison between financial statements prepared on a U.S. GAAP and IFRS reporting. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2013 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB on accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provided guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation process and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In July 2013, FASB issued authoritative guidance on Derivatives and Hedging, providing guidance on the risks that are permitted to be hedged in a fair value or cash flow hedge. Among those risks for financial assets and financial liabilities is the risk of changes in a hedged item’s fair value or a hedged transaction’s cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. The guidance was issued as a direct result of the financial crisis in 2008 as the exposure to and the demand for hedging the Fed Fund rate has increased significantly. The new guidance was effective July 17, 2013, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2013, guidance was issued on Topic 740, Income Taxes. The guidance states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward with some exceptions. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The new guidance will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

 

Item 7.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

 

Note 1. Organization

This Financial statement is unaudited and awaiting for the audited version to be amended. Energy and Technology, Corp. (the Company) was formed November 29, 2006 under the laws of the State of Delaware in order to acquire and to take over the assets and business of Technical Industries, Inc. (TII).  On that date, the Company issued 125,000,000 shares of common stock to American Interest, LLC, in exchange for founder services rendered.  The fair value of these services was considered immaterial, and no amounts were recognized in the financial statements.  At the time the shares were issued to American Interest, LLC, the Company had no assets, operations, or cash flows.  As such, the stock had no value at the time the Company was established.  The par value was arbitrarily established in order to comply with the State of Delaware laws.  In order to reflect the par value of the shares issued, the Company recognized a discount on capital stock as a contra-equity account within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.

 

On January 3, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement and Share Exchange (the Agreement) whereby the sole shareholder of TII exchanged all of the outstanding shares of the TII to the Company in exchange for 50,000,000 shares of Company stock.  Accordingly, TII became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at the carrying value to TII since TII and the Company were under common control prior to the acquisition.

 

TII specializes in the non-destructive testing of vessels, oilfield equipment and mainly pipe, including ultrasonic testing, utilizing the latest technologies.  These technologies enable TII to (i) provide detailed information to customers regarding each pipe tested, and (ii) reach energy reserves present technology cannot reach without extra cost to the oil and gas companies.  Because of the intense scrutiny applied to each section of pipe, TII is able to generate data which allows the pipe to be used in the most extreme conditions, and has been proven especially useful in deep water drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico.
 

On August 29, 2009, the Company effected a name change from Technical Industries & Energy Corp. to Energy & Technology, Corp. to better reflect the nature of the Company’s business.
 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Technical Industries, Inc., the accounts of Energy Pipe, LLC (a variable interest entity), and the accounts of Energy Technology Manufacturing & Threading, LLC (a variable interest entity).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial information for the interim periods presented.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.

 

Basis of Accounting

Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates due to information that becomes available subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements or for other reasons.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for inspection services is recognized upon completion of the services rendered.  Revenue for the sales of pipe is recognized when pipe is delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risks of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and d) the sales price is fixed or determinable.

 

Trade Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts.  Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus receivables do not bear interest, although a finance charge may be applied to amounts past due. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The company calculates the allowance based on the history with customers and their current financial condition. Provisions of uncollectible amounts are determined based on management’s estimate of collectability. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $3,078 and $9,035 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

 

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost determined by the specific identification method or market.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, inventory consisted of pipe available for sale.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures for property and equipment and items that substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated. Routine expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment disposed of are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets capitalized.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

In the event facts and circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of long-lived assets may be impaired, the Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets using the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down is required, pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 360-10-35.  Any impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the impaired asset.

 

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the Company’s large number of customers. At December 31, 2014, the balance due from two customers represented 49% of receivables, and sales to those two customers represented 54% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014

 

The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions, and periodically maintains cash in bank accounts in excess of insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses and does not believe that significant credit risk exists as a result of this practice.

 

Advertising

The Company charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising expense was $32,264 and $34,455, for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Cash Flows

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to change in tax rates and laws.

 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.  The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.

 

Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above would be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company may elect to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period in the future.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance which relates to deconsolidation events. Under this amendment, when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of the default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in Subtopic 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment - Real Estate Sales, to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. This guidance is effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2011, The FASB issued authoritative guidance to provide enhanced disclosures in the financial statements about offsetting and netting arrangements. The new guidance requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. This guidance was issued to facilitate comparison between financial statements prepared on a U.S. GAAP and IFRS reporting. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2013 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB on accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provided guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation process and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In July 2013, FASB issued authoritative guidance on Derivatives and Hedging, providing guidance on the risks that are permitted to be hedged in a fair value or cash flow hedge. Among those risks for financial assets and financial liabilities is the risk of changes in a hedged item’s fair value or a hedged transaction’s cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. The guidance was issued as a direct result of the financial crisis in 2008 as the exposure to and the demand for hedging the Fed Fund rate has increased significantly. The new guidance was effective July 17, 2013, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In July 2013, guidance was issued on Topic 740, Income Taxes. The guidance states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward with some exceptions. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The new guidance will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. This guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Comprehensive Income

The Company had no components of comprehensive income. Therefore, net income (loss) equals comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented.

 

Note 3. Patent

On September 4, 2007, the Company’s chief executive officer was awarded a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office pertaining to his development of specialized testing procedures for tubing casing, line pipe, and expandable liners utilized by oil-exploration companies which was subsequently transferred to the Company.

 

The Company’s costs associated with its development of these testing procedures and application for patent have been capitalized and recognized as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet, and is being amortized over 20 years. Amortization expense for 2014 and 2013 was $28,786 and $28,786, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the ensuring years through December 31, 2017 is $28,786 per year.

Note 8. Equity

The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $.001 per share. The number of shares issued and outstanding are 165,548,766 and 169,165,841 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively.

 

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no shares issued and outstanding.

 

In 2013, the company issued a total of 41,167 shares of common stock valued at an average of $0.199 a share to employees as compensation.

 

Note 9. Earnings per Share

Earnings (loss) per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings (loss) per share. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised. Potentially dilutive common

shares consist of stock options and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred a net loss, as their effect would be considered anti-dilutive.

 

There were no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of December 31, 2014, therefore basic earnings per share equals diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2014. As the Company incurred a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2014, the basic and diluted loss per common share is the same amount, as any common stock equivalents would be considered anti-dilutive.

 

As the Company incurred a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2013, the basic and diluted loss per common share is the same amount, as any common stock equivalents would be considered anti-dilutive.

 

The weighted average common shares outstanding were 169,149,947,, and 169,149,947 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Note 10. Commitments

The Company leases office premises, operating facilities, and equipment under operating leases expiring in various years through 2030. The Company also leases land for operating purposes on a month to month basis. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $203,860, and $247,437, respectively.

 

Minimum future rental payments under operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2014 are as follows:

 

  2015   6,000 
  2016   6,000

Note 13. Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosure is made in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Financial instruments are defined as cash and contractual rights and obligations that require settlement, directly or indirectly, in cash. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values have been estimated using the present value of future cash flows or other valuation techniques.

 

The result of these techniques are highly sensitive to the assumptions used, such as those concerning appropriate discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, which require considerable judgment. Accordingly, estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current settlement of the underlying financial instruments. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. These disclosures should not be interpreted as representing an aggregate measure of the underlying value of the Company.

     2014   2013 
     Carrying   Fair   Carrying   Fair 
     Amount   Value   Amount   Value 
  Financial Assets                
       Cash  $1,083,840   $1,083,840   $1,875,187   $1,875,187 
                       
  Financial Liabilities                    
       Notes Payable  $3,990,541   $3,990,541   $372,112   $372,112

     $4,130,060   $4,130,060   $1,064,047   $1,064,047 

  

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for financial instruments:

 

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value.

 

Notes Payable: The fair value of notes payable approximates the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet.

 

Due to Affiliates: The carrying amount of due to affiliates approximates fair values.

 

Note 14. Subsequent Events

In accordance with the subsequent events topic of the FASB ASC, Topic No. 855, Subsequent Events, the Company evaluates events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition in the financial statements. The effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements as of December 31, 2013. In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions through the date these financial statements were issued.

ITEM 9.           CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

Our accountant was The Hall Group. The Hall Group lost its PCAOB certification which required the company to find new auditors. Our accountant is now MaloneBailey,LLP. We do not presently intend to change accountants. At no time have there been any disagreements with such accountants regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

 

ITEM 9A.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures  

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our Company’s management, including Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014.

 

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Our management is also responsible for establishing ICFR as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our ICFR are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our ICFR are expected to include those policies and procedures that management believes are necessary that:

 

(i)pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
(ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
(iii)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect of financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

 

As of December 31, 2014, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) based on the criteria for effective ICFR established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments by smaller reporting companies and non-accelerated filers. Based on that evaluation and the criteria set forth in the COSO Report, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.

 

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 attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

Changes in internal controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

 

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

 

-    approved by our audit committee; or

 

-    entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular  service,  the  audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentage of the above fees was pre-approved.  However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
