 NOTE – 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with both generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim consolidated financial information have read or have access to the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
NOTE – 2 GOING CONCERN
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. However, as September 30, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit. In addition, the Company currently has limited liquidity and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Management has taken certain actions and continues to implement changes designed to improve the Company's consolidated financial results and operating cash flows. The actions involve certain cost-saving initiatives and growth strategies, including (a) utilization of outsourced build-to-order production; (b) expansion into new markets, (c) commercialization of patented products and; (c) significant reductions in lease costs. Management believes that these actions will enable the Company to improve future profitability and cash flow in its continuing operations through December 31, 2015. As a result, the financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

NOTE –3 RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
In 2015, the Company identified certain errors in calculating derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2014. The Company had a convertible promissory note of $58,000 entitled to be converted at a discount to market price in November 2014. As a result, the existing 5,097,000 warrants shall be reclassified from equity to liabilities, and the convertible notes of total $230,000 with a fixed conversion price shall be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and changes in derivative liabilities for the year of 2014 were understated in amount of $1,836,651. The error did not impact the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014 and the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended November 30,2014.

NOTE – 4 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the increase in accounts payable to related parties was $5,588 and $344,700, respectively. Accordingly, accounts payable to related parties were $72,055 and $66,467 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Notes payable to related parties were $62,938 and $65,947 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company had proceeds from related parties' loan in amount of $7,800 and repayments of $10,809 to related parties' loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. There were no proceeds from nor repayments to related parties' loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The funds borrowed from the Company's related parties were to fund the Company's daily operations.

NOTE – 5 NOTES PAYABLE

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had notes payable of $224,636 and $203,787, respectively, which were conventional debts due on demand without conversion feature. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had proceeds of $20,849 from notes payable with interest at a rate of 7% per annum.

NOTE – 6 CONVERTIBLE NOTES
 
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding balances on its convertible notes in the amount of $499,732 and $265,147, respectively, net of discounts of $482,738 and $2,853, respectively. The detailed terms were set forth as follows:

(A) Convertible Notes Payable

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had convertible notes payable in amount of $20,000 and $25,000, respectively, which would be converted automatically upon the completion of a Qualified Financing at a conversion price based upon the Qualified Financing.  The amounts were in default and due on demand as of September 30, 2015, with interest at a rate of 12%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, principal of $5,000 plus accrued interests of $1,272 were repaid in cash, and interest expense of $1,795 was recorded, which was included under accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2015.

       During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued a convertible note of $12,500 to a third party, which bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum and due on January 8, 2016. At any time while this Note is outstanding, the holder of this Note may convert all or any portion of the Note into the common shares of the Company at a price of $.25 per share (the "Conversion Price"); provided, that if this Note has not been paid or prepaid or converted before the due date, the Conversion Price will be reduced to $.10 per share on the due date. The Company recorded interest expense of $654 related to this Note during the six months ended September 30, 2015. The interest expense of $654 has been included under accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2015.

 On November 22, 2013, the Company completed a private placement pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note to certain accredited investors, which notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share. In addition, the Company granted to the same investors' three−year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 276,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share. As a result, the Notes were discounted in the amount of $86,368 due to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion option and relative fair value of the warrants. The interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is $10,373 and $10,373, respectively.

 
NOTE – 6 CONVERTIBLE NOTES (CONTINUED)

During the third quarter of 2015, $75,000 of the principal of the convertible notes was transfer to another unrelated third party. The $9,788 accrued interest payable was converted to principle. The related agreement was also amended to reduce the exercise price from $0.25 to $0.004 and extend the maturity date to December 31, 2015. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40, this debt modification would be classified as debt extinguishment. No gain or loss is recognized on the debt extinguishment. The amended Notes were discounted in the amount of $84,188 due to the derivative liabilities. During September 2015, the note holder converted $25,500 in principal to 6,374,840 shares, or $.004 per shares.
 
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate carrying value of the Notes was $206,193, net of $39,995 discount and $230,000, net of $0 discount, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, $155,000 of the Notes was in default and due on demand.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded interest expense related to the Notes in amount of $10,373 and $12,075, respectively, which was included under accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. (See Note8 for further discussion on debt discount.)

(B) Convertible Notes Payable – Derivative liabilities

On May 28, 2014, the Company issued a convertible promissory note of $58,000 with an original issue discount of $3,000 (the "Note") to a third party. The Note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum and is due on March 2, 2015, pursuant to which the holder of the Note has an option to convert all or any portion of the accrued interest and unpaid principal balance of the Note into the common stock of the Company after 180 days upon commencement, at 58% of the Market Price, which means the average of the lowest three trading price during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. During the year ended December 31, 2014, a portion of the principal in amount of $45,000 was converted into 1,002,777 shares of common stock. The remaining balance of $13,000 plus accrued interest of $2,320 were converted into 76,562 shares on January 6, 2015. Accordingly, the related debt discounts of $2,853 were amortized in full and the related derivative liability of $24,163 was reclassified to additional paid in capital.

The Company has determined that the conversion feature of the Notes represents an embedded derivative since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Notes are not considered to be conventional debt and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. See Note 7 for further discussion.

NOTE – 7 DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
 
The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt and warrants issued during 2014 and 2015. The Company has determined that the conversion feature of the Notes and warrants represents an embedded derivative since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Notes and warrants are not considered to be conventional debt and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability.

Therefore, the fair value of the derivative instruments have been recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as discounts to the Notes. Such discounts will be accreted from the issuance date to the maturity date of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liabilities on the balance sheet. The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the issuance dates with the assumptions in the table below.
 
As a result of the application of ASC No. 815, the fair value of the ratchet feature related to convertible debt and warrants is summarized as follow: 
 
Beginning Balance, January 1, 2015
   1,852,319

NOTE - 9 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
As defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This Topic requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The statement requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are based on observable market data and are directly or indirectly observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. These include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, adjusted quoted market prices, inputs from observable data such as interest rate and yield curves, volatilities or default rates observable at commonly quoted intervals or inputs derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are unobservable or less observable from objective sources. Unobservable inputs should only be used to the extent observable inputs are not available. These inputs maintain the concept of an exit price from the perspective of a market participant and should reflect assumptions of other market participants. An entity should consider all market participant assumptions that are available without unreasonable cost and effort. These are given the lowest priority and are generally used in internally developed methodologies to generate management's best estimate of the fair value when no observable market data is available.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.

Derivatives

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by Cardinal Resources, Inc. (the "Company") from time to time with the SEC (collectively, the "Filings") contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company's management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company's management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan," or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company's management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company's business, industry, and the Company's operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
 
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
 
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management's judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
 
Basis of Presentation

An order for a Mobil Red Bird System to be delivered to Suzhou City, China was placed, the down payment received, and assembly commenced. Revenue for this system will be recognized in the 4th quarter 2015 and 1st quarter of 2016.

·
A Stock Purchase Agreement was signed for a two tranche investment into the Company totaling $7.5 million.  The first tranche of $3.75 million is scheduled to close in the 1st Quarter 2016.  Closing of the second tranche is dependent on both the investor and the Company meeting a number of milestones.

·
We expanded our services business to add revenue to the Company.  This has begun to have a positive affect which may increase going forward.

Cardinal Resources began operations in 2004, providing environmental engineering services, remediation, water and waste water treatment to US companies on a global basis. In 2005, we began development of proprietary technologies to create sustainable water and waste water systems to be produced by Cardinal Resources and operated globally. During the time period when the Company was in the development of the Red Bird System and other sustainable technologies we continued to provide environmental services to our clients. As a result Cardinal Resources worked in over 20 countries including multimillion dollar projects in Australia, Brazil, Japan and China. As a result of our work we received recognition by U.S. Commercial Services as the Exporter of the Year in 2011 for Environmental and Congressional Export Achievement Awards. 

The prototype filters were deployed in 2007, first full prototype was built in 2008 and the first full system was built in 2009. We were issued our first patents for our technologies and applications in 2009 with subsequent patents issued in 2012.  In 2013 we signed significant Red Bird System contracts and began implementation.

In 2014 work was on going on the Bayelsa Nigeria contract, but production slowed as payments slowed.  Based on recent discussions and partial payments we anticipate the work re-starting in 2016.  Work commenced on the CAMWATER contract with the completion of the required Environmental Assessments, and design work for custom components.  The majority of the work is scheduled for 2016 pending the final approvals of the customers financing.

In 2015, the first system, a CRB-10, has been delivered to Soloy Panama as part of their long-term agreement.  We have also received an order for a Mobile Red Bird System as part of our move to open the China market.

The transition from primarily a services company to a systems/services company has been a significant challenge as reflected in the Company's financial statements.  The Company while focused on the implementation of its existing contracts and expanding our base of business continues to work to resolve issues, including judgements, related to the past downturn.  While those challenges are real, the Company continues to make progress in paying down past obligations and moving the business forward.

As of September 30, 2015 the US Export Import Bank's (EXIM) Charter was not re-authorized by the US Congress. Finally on December 4, 2015 the Charter was renewed and the Bank is back in the business of helping finance US Exports.  While this is positive news, it does not mean an immediate release of fund for our CAMWATER contract.  The Bank will take some time to come back up to speed on the contracts and we must still wait for Congress to vote on the Bank's Board of Directors.  In the interim we are in discussion with the Bank's Project Manager to make sure there are no questions that will hold up the process once the Board is in place and other funding alternatives.

While the EXIM process is underway, the Company will continue to seek alternative financing for our international projects.  In this way if there are further delays in the Board approval we will still be positioned to move forward.  We have also closed cash deals for systems in Panama, the US and China as part of our plan to include both cash sales as well as sales requiring EXIM or other Export Credit Agency (ECA) financing.  Even in the best situations, projects with ECA financing will take longer than a cash sale.  Ultimately the Company's goal is to have a healthy mix of both types of projects, direct sale and ECA financing.
 
Plan of Operations
 
Our Plan of Operations is focused on becoming the global preferred provider of sustainable water treatment systems using a distributed architecture. To meet this goal our plans call for the Company to expand our financial management, technical implementation staff, and market development. Part of our plan is to continue to expand our technologies, and approaches as well beginning with distributed waste water treatment. In terms of expansion our plan is to first have implementation well underway in the West Africa, China, and Latin America markets.  From there we plan to move aggressively to close on other opportunities in our pipeline, good opportunistic situations and expand into our next geographic targets of India, and Southeast Asia. We are planning to continue to outsource our manufacturing within the US and with the closing of the Hangzhou Sky Water Co., Ltd. Stock Purchase Agreement, we may expand assembly to China via a Joint Venture.  The Company plan is to retain US manufacturing for key components, technology protection, prototype development and producing systems.
 
Contracts

Cardinal Resources has large commercial contracts to provide the Red Bird System, ancillary equipment, and associated services in Cameroon, Nigeria, and Senegal that have been delayed in part due to the delays reauthorization of the U.S.EXIM Bank and the decrease in hard currency in Nigeria.  These contracts, which are backed by a combination of bank guarantees, sovereign guarantees, and export bank financing, are now scheduled for completion in 2016 and 2017.  The two stage process, typical on projects using export bank financing, where you first obtain a commercial contract followed by a finance agreement does increase the time from contract to implementation.  The Company does take steps, including prescreening deals with the banks to shorten this time frame.  We are also seeking other sources of Export Credit Agency financing for the larger contracts.

The US, Panama, and China contracts are smaller but not impacted by the lack of Export Credit Agency funding.  As the ECA issues are largely beyond our control, the Company has shifted focus to expanding with smaller cash transactions.  We believe these sales will lead to additional sales on a steady, sustainable basis.  With the anticipated return of the ECA financing, the Company will continue to pursue both types of sales.

The Company continues to provide environmental services, primarily to three customers on a smaller scale in the US and is working to increase that source of revenue.
 
Revenues
 
We generate our revenue sales from the sale of the patented Red Bird System, ancillary equipment, and environmental services. Revenue from system sales are recognized on a Cost-to-Cost Percentage of Completion basis, while services revenue is recognized is recognized on an accrual basis as invoiced.  Many projects will have a combination of systems and services.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Our cost of sales includes internal labor, supply chain management, logistics and the purchase of components that are part of the Red Bird System.  Currently internal labor costs exceed projected costs as we are refining certain design aspects for specific markets.  Over time this labor component should decrease.  Other items contributing to our cost of sales are the direct assembly labor at the outsourced manufacturer.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit is affected by numerous factors, including our average selling prices, scheduling, ramp up point, and our manufacturing costs.  As a result of the above, gross profits may vary from quarter to quarter and year to year.
 
Research and Development.
 
Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs in addition to the cost of products, materials and outside services used in our process and product research and development activities.  We anticipate these costs rising as we begin to work on new technologies.
 
Selling, General and Administrative
 
Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, professional fees, insurance costs, travel expense, and other normal selling expenses.  We expect these expenses to increase in the near term, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales, to support the growth of our business as we expand our sales and marketing efforts, particularly international travel, improve our information processes and systems and implement the financial reporting, compliance and other infrastructure required by a public company. Over time, we expect selling, general and administrative expense to decline as a percentage of net sales as our net sales increase.

The use of common stock to pay for services, while not a cash outlay, has a significant impact on SG&A.  Typically the stock is issued to pay for services over an extended period, for example a year-long agreement for legal or accounting services.  The value of the stock is accounted for at the time it was granted which causes an impact in the quarter.  It does indicate that key vendors believe that the stock will continue to have value in that they are willing to let the Company pay for work with restricted common stock.  As we move forward the Company is planning to reduce and eliminate the stock for services.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, marketable securities valuation, derivative financial instrument valuation, end-of-life collection and recycling, contingencies and litigation and share based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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.
 
Recent Developments
 
The first nine months of 2015 was focused on closing the project finance for our largest commercial contract, expansion in Latin America, India, and China, collections from existing contracts, build-to-order production and service expansion.  While India has not progressed, we have delivered the first system to Panama and have received the first order for China and a US order.  Revenue has lagged compared to projections due to the project finance issues and the lower oil prices which has impacted the hard currency in Nigeria.  The Touba Senegal contract, which was scheduled to begin in early 2015 is still pending and management is considering whether to cancel the contract given the unresponsive nature of the Senegalese government.
 

Revenue from system sales is recognized on a cost-to-cost percentage of completion (POC) basis.  As a result invoicing on projects and recognized revenues may not match during the course of a project.  Services revenue are recognized on an accrual basis as invoiced to the customer.

Stock was issued as compensation for consulting services in the third quarter.  The valuation of the stock varied as noted in the Company's financials and footnotes.  Employment agreements were entered into for key employees subsequent to the end of the 3rd. Quarter.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company reported a net loss of $851,339 and $113,773 respectively. The change in net loss was primarily attributable to the increased costs associated with new convertible debt and a slow-down in project implementation.
 
Sales - Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015, were $59,983 compared to $937,906 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  This reflects the activities on major contracts that slowed due to ECA financing issues.
 
Gross Profit/(Loss) - During the three months ended September 30, 2015 our gross profit was 17,439 (29%) compared to a gross profit of 501,041 (52%) in the same period of 2014 which reflects the services (lower gross margin) and systems mix
 
Operating Expenses
 
General and Administrative Expenses – General and Administrative for the three months ended September 30, 2015, were $521,391 as compared to $528,163 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
 
Total Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $575,040, as compared to $976,864 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
 
We anticipate that our research and development expenses will increase because we believe that maintaining state of the art products is a key to our continued success.  We expect to achieve economies of scale in our general and administrative expenses as our operations increase as much of our administrative expenses are fixed costs, such as salaries of key personnel and rent. As a result, while we may need to hire additional personnel as operations increase, we believe that the increases in general and administrative expenses will be at a lower rate than the increase in revenues.  In addition we will reduce the use of stock in compensation for services.

Other Income (Expense) - Other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $ (336,282), as compared to $(74,815) for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  This increase is due to interest expense and increased derivative liabilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company reported a net loss of $2,631,268 and $1,631,142 respectively. The net loss in 2015 was affected by the valuation of stock for services, increased interest expense and derivative liabilities.  With increased revenue we can consolidate or retire the debt to improve performance.
 
Sales - Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015, were $372,089 compared to $982,458 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflecting the slow-down in project implementation.  
 
Gross Profit/(Loss) - During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 our gross loss was $377 compared to a gross profit of $58,950 in the same period of 2014.  This generally reflects the mix in production, project initiation, and services in 2015. 
 
Operating Expenses
 
General and Administrative Expenses – General and Administrative for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, were $1,716,309 as compared to $1,184,005 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  
 
Total Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $2,122,090, as compared to $2,144,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
 
For the first nine months of 2015, we suspended Research and Development activities.  However, we anticipate that our research and development expenses will increase because we believe that maintaining state of the art products is a key to our continued success.  We expect to achieve economies of scale in our general and administrative expenses as our operations increase as much of our administrative expenses are fixed costs, such as salaries of key personnel and rent. As a result, while we may need to hire additional personnel as operations increase, we believe that the increases in general and administrative expenses will be at a lower rate than the increase in revenues.  In addition we will reduce the use of stock in compensation for services.

Other Income (Expense) - Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $(881,267) as compared to $(469,350) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 largely due to notes issued.

As of September 30, 2015, we had negative working capital of $3,007,644 as compared to negative working capital of $4,057,464 as of December 31, 2014.  While improved by $1,049,820, the Company is working to reduce or consolidate debt under more favorable terms as well as increase revenue to improve this trend.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $(853,616) and $(771,844) respectively.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) all financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $869,840 and $437,378 respectively.
 
The estimated base working capital requirement for the next 12 months is $1,200,000 with an estimated burn rate of $100,000 per month.   As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had cash of $25,454 at September 30, 2015.
 
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management's plans, which include increasing revenue, decreasing or consolidating debt, contract specific financing, raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company's existence.  To continue it is imperative that the Company quickly ramp up revenue and reduce variable convertible debt.
 
The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated Revenue may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future if it does not receive the anticipated additional funding. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In that event, the Company would be required to change its strategy.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have an effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
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, revenues 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 the footnotes of our 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.
  
We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for bad debt, inventory obsolescence, the fair value of share-based payments.
 
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.
 
Revenues and Cost of Revenues

Revenues from fixed-price and cost-plus contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, whereby revenues on long-term contracts are recorded on the basis of the Company's estimates of the percentage of completion of contracts based on the ratio of actual cost incurred to total estimated costs. This cost-to-cost method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contacts. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured on the cost-to-cost method.

Revenues from time-and-material and rate chart contracts are recognized currently as work is performed.

Revenues from maintenance service contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract once the Company has an agreement, service has begun, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assumed.

Cost of revenues include all direct material, sub-contractor, labor and certain other direct costs, as well as those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and fringe benefits. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to cost and income, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements, are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Claims for additional contract revenue are recognized when realization of the claim is probable and the amount can be reasonably determined.

The asset, "cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contract" represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

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 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
 
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
Pursuant to Rule 13a- 15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer ("PEO") and Principal Financial Officer ("PFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's PEO and PFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  To address these concerns we have increased the use of an experienced outside accounting firm and CPA with extensive public company experience.  We have also changed procedures related to the monthly reconciliation to improve efficiency and reporting.  As soon as possible we will add financial staff to the Company.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  We have added addition review to the monthly reconciliation and quarterly closings as well as increased the use of an outside independent accounting firm.
  
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business.  The past debts including judgements related to the former company represent an increased risk which the Company is activity working to reduce through negotiations where appropriate and payment plans. 

 
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC for the year ending December 31, 2014.
 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
None.
 
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.
 
There has been no default in the payment of principal, interest, sinking or purchase fund installment, or any other material default, with respect to any indebtedness of the Company.
 
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 5. Other Information.
 
There is no other information required to be disclosed under this item which has not been previously disclosed.
