ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

New Global Energy, Inc. ("NGE" or the "Company") is a sustainable agriculture and aquaculture company organized as a Wyoming corporation on January 24, 2012. The Company focuses on the use of advanced technology and farming techniques with the goal of increasing production and decreasing costs.

 

The Company is focused on internal growth and growth through the acquisition of high-growth firms, assets and properties in the Green market space; industry segments include sustainable agriculture, aquaculture, and solar energy generation. Management is targeting growth stage assets, operations and companies that possess proprietary market edge and demonstrate solid opportunity to scale their business. We expect to pursue special opportunities that are anticipated to accelerate shareholder value by consolidating certain tiers of the $5 Trillion per year fragmented Green and Renewable Energy industry.

 

The first portion of the Company's development plan includes the development of its Global Energy Plantation ("GEP") using its Global Cell concept which combines alternative energy (source of usable energy intended to replace fuel sources without the undesired consequences of the replaced fuels) production, sustainable agriculture (practice of farming using principles of ecology, the study of relationships between organisms and their environment) and aquaculture (the processes of farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks and aquatic plants). In summation, our development plan will utilize non centralized solar panels to produce power for its own use and to feed into the power grid serving local power needs while producing farm grown fish, a process currently in operation, and, in future operations after the current year, shrimp.

 

As of May 20, 2013, the Company had completed incremental acquisitions totaling 30.74% of Aqua Farming Tech, Inc. ("AFT") from unrelated parties. By the end of 2013, the Company had completed additional incremental acquisitions from unrelated parties bringing its total ownership to 36.69%. 

 

In the process of development of its business and during the last two fiscal years, the Company acquired a non-controlling interest in Aqua Farming Tech, Inc. ("AFT"), a California corporation with aquaculture and agriculture operations in the Coachella Valley in Southern California. (see Aqua Farming Tech, Inc. below) During 2014, the Company acquired and maintained an equity interest of 36.69% in Aqua Farming Tech, Inc. ("AFT"), a California corporation with aquaculture and agriculture operations in the Coachella Valley in Southern California.

 

On July 15, 2014 the Company for and in consideration of 1,250,043 shares of New Global Energy Inc. common stock, Aquaculture Joint Venture, a Nevada General Partnership, assigned a 43.66% Net Revenue Interest in and to the net revenues from the operations of AFT aquaculture operations in Southern California over a period of time. Cash allocable to the Net Revenue Interest is calculated and distributed on a quarterly basis within forty five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter.

The Company has determined that the acquisition of this 43.6% net revenue interest, considering its peviously held equity interest (PHEI), the outstanding debt owed by AFT to the Company and implicit variable interest resulting from the Net Revenue Interest, that AFT was a variable interest entity, of which the company was considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidated AFT as of July 15, 2014.

 

On September 5, 2014, for and in consideration of 1,529,412 shares of New Global Energy, Inc. common stock, BioFuel Development Joint Venture, a Nevada General Partnership, assigned a 27.35% Net Revenue Interest in aquaculture operations of AFT as defined in a Farm Development Agreement between AFT and a related party dated July 7, 2009, and a 7.6% interest in and to a Farm and Crop Lease covering two parcels of land (6.1 and 15.92 acres) in the Coachella Valley in Southern California.

 

On September 9, 2014, for and in consideration of 4,871,750 shares of New Global Energy, Inc. common stock, Global Energy Technology Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, assigned a 91.56% interest in and to a Farm and Crop Lease covering two parcels of land (6.1 and 15.92 acres) in the Coachella Valley in Southern California.   

 

On August 11, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 760,877 common shares of Aqua Farming Tech, Inc., a California corporation ("AFT"), giving it a total ownership in excess of 99% of the outstanding shares of AFT. This transaction was completed for and in consideration of 380,434 shares of New Global Energy Inc. common stock, plus warrants to purchase 380,434 shares of New Global Energy, Inc. common stock at a price of $2.00 per share for a period of five years from the date of the transaction. These warrants include shareholder appreciation rights and shall be exercisable after six months from the date of the transaction.

 

The Company had previously acquired these shares in a 2013 transaction which was rescinded due to delays in providing sufficient accounting information. These issues have been resolved and the Company has elected to proceed with the transaction.

 

The Company had previously entered into agreements associated with health care systems but based upon the lack of progress associated with the acquisition, during the reported period it completed agreements providing for mutual rescission of the following agreements.

 

1.

An exclusive license through New Global Medical, Inc. from VIP-PATIENT, LLC to its VIP Patient Management Software System.

2.

An exclusive license through New Global Medical, Inc. to Canacard Patient Management Systems Software, from ALTERNATE HEALTH, INC

3.

A 20 year renewable Service Agreement through New Global Medical Inc. with ALTERNATE HEALTH, INC. to maintain this licensed property.

4.

An associated Management Consulting agreement through New Global Medical, Inc. with Howard Mann related to the operation of these systems.

 

All of these agreements were executory; no money or shares had been exchanged and no business pursuant to the agreements had transpired.

Global Cell

 

The Global Cell is being designed to be a stand-alone "operational cell" where nothing enters the "cell wall" except sunlight, water, and feedstock (seeds & fish). The cell is being designed to produce electrical power onsite with excess electricity fed into the power Grid. The Global Cell is designed as a "Zero Waste" operation. It is designed for all waste material to be used onsite:

 

Fish tank effluent > Plant Irrigation & Fertilization

 

Aquaculture Products  

Food Fish for Market  

Fish Feed from processing wastes

 

Value Chain Services 

Grower Purchase Contracts 

Management Planning, and Operations

Harvesting and Processing

 

In this sustainable system, the plants feed the fish and the fish feed the plants. An array of photovoltaic panels or concentrated solar systems powers the entire plantation and feed any excess electricity into the power grid. The design of the Global Cell has not been completed nor has it been constructed and there is no assurance that the performance of these Cells will produce these expected results.  

The Company relies on unpatented proprietary know-how and other trade secrets of its Global Cell , and employs various methods, including confidentiality agreements with employees and consultants, customers and suppliers to protect our know-how and trade secrets. However, these methods may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop the know-how and trade secrets or develop better production methods than us. Further, we may not be able to deter current and former employees, contractors and other parties from breaching confidentiality agreements and misappropriating proprietary information and it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our information and proprietary technology licensed, without authorization or otherwise infringe on our intellectual property rights. Additionally, we may license in the future, trade secrets, and similar proprietary rights to third parties. While we attempt to ensure that our intellectual property and similar proprietary rights are protected when entering into business relationships, third parties may take actions that could materially and adversely affect our rights or the value of our intellectual property, similar proprietary rights or reputation. In the future, we may also rely on litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights and contractual rights, and, if not successful, we may not be able to protect the value of our intellectual property. Any litigation could be protracted and expensive and funds may not be available to pursue it.

 

The Company's focus during the reported period has been on the development of the optimum organizational environment for the growth of food fish and for the growth of agricultural products on adjacent lands. The major impediments to the successful development and operation of aquacultural and agricultural projects has been the difficulty in control of foods prices, control of energy prices and the control of the price and availability of water.

 

 
5
 

 

With regard to the control of food prices, in the creation of the Company's optimal farm environment, we have developed a new aquaculture food regimen which, while using no antibiotics or chemicals, feeds Tilapiathe superfood Moringa and green algae for their first four months in grow-out ponds. These nutrient rich algae and other aquatic plants represent a natural environment while controlling the price of the total amount of food feed to fish during their growing cycle.

 

We have initiated a test project involving the growth of Moringa for use as fish food and other uses. Research from the National Institutes of Health, a part of the US Department of Health and Human Services indicates that "scientists agree this is the most nutrient dense botanical on earth" weighing in with over 92 verifiable cell-ready nutrients including 46 antioxidants, 36 anti-inflammatories, vitamins, minerals, omega oils and 18 amino acids including nine that are rarely found intact within our present food chain. In 2008 the National Institutes of Health named Moringa the "Botanical of the Year" in celebration of Earth Day.

 

Although the primary use of Moringa grown in the Company's initial test will be processed as food for fish, Moringa has other primary uses. It is sold around the world as a nutraceutical because of it high nutritional and medicinal value. In addition to other content, gram for gram Moringa leaves contain: 4 times the calcium of milk; 3 times the Potassium of bananas; 4 times the vitamin A of carrots; 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges and 2 times the protein of yogurt. In addition of agricultural feed, it can be used as fertilizer, as pulp wood in making paper as well as in making other products. And, it is used in water purification, killing bacteria and pathogenic germs in polluted water.

 

Integration of Solar, Agriculture & Aquaculture

 

The NGE business model addresses the need to maximize the cost savings available from alternative energy sources and to use alternative food sources to create a more viable environment for aquaculture operations.

 

Solar: Electrical power is a primary product of the Global Cell. Electricity, produced onsite from photovoltaic ("solar cell") arrays used during daylight hours, to power all plantation operations including pumps, lighting and processing equipment. With excess power fed into the power grid where it is "banked" under the "net metering" provisions established by the U.S. Energy Policy Act 2005 which requires all public electric utilities to offer net metering on request to their customers.

 

Agriculture: Moringa or other products grown on site are initially used as food for aquaculture operations with additional crops to be sold for nutraceuticals or as biomass feed stock. Certain agricultural crops are fertilized with fish effluent using nutrient rich water to increase yields of these crops.

 

 
6
 

 

Fish: Aquaculture operations are designed to yield a sustainable food source in an environment where live catches decline each year. Processing the fish on site yields both a food fish product and SFO (Straight Fish Oil) which can be used to power Diesel generators or sold. Residue from fish processing is sun-dried and used as fish meal. Fish oil can also be used in the nutritional industry. Effluent from the fish tanks and ponds are used to irrigate the on-site crops with a nutrient-rich broth of fertilizer.

 

MARKET FOR PRODUCTS & SERVICES:

 

The marketing and sale of the company's products is subject to successful completion and performance of the Company's Global Cell Concept and as such the Company has not yet entered any of these markets and there is no assurance that expected production levels will be achieved or that there will be any revenues forthcoming.

 

Electricity: A primary market opportunity for the Company is to provide electric power generated onsite from both solar power systems and onsite diesel-powered generators fired by renewable, sustainable biofuel. The Company expects that excess power over what it uses will be sold through net metering agreements and/or power purchase agreements with commercial power providers. These agreements are generally site specific and the Company does not yet have any such agreements in place and there is no assurance the sufficient power will be produced to sell.

 

The Company has done an extensive reviews of solar technologies to determine the best currently available technology. It has done initial review and testing of solar technology used with concentrated solar power "CSP" generation and comparison reviews of photovoltaic panel technology. It has developed proposed layouts for CSP systems with thermal storage units which can be used for solar energy production both on and off grid.

 

Food Fish: The Company believes that the primary market advantaged aquaculture product in the US is the sale of live fish and shrimp, and non-frozen fish fillets, limiting preferred geographic locations to those near major market areas where established markets now exist. To the extent the market dictates, the Company may enter the frozen fish fillet market. Although the Company believes that there is a significant market for the fish that it expects to produce, it does not have any purchase agreements or sales arrangements in place and whether or not the fish can be sold and at what price will be subject to market conditions at the time of the sale. There is no assurance that either a market will exist or that the price paid will produce a profit or even be sufficient to cover costs at that time.

 

The Company expects that its primary fish products will include Tilapia (both red and black Tilapia, Catfish and Silver Carp and are sold live). Tilapia is a mild white fish popular around the world. In its 2013 Report, the World Aquaculture Society shows Tilapia as the fifth most popular fish and Catfish as the seventh most popular fish consumed by weight in the United States (based on 2011 results).

A report from GLOBEFISH a unit in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ("FAO") Fisheries and Aquaculture Department responsible for information on international fish trade indicates that the popularity of tilapia, including the high value, air-flown fresh fillet, continues to grow among US consumers posting all-time records. Indeed, although imports in all product categories increased in volume only marginally (+2.9%) in 2013, the value of tilapia imports crossed over $1 billion, which is 7% higher than the value of imports in 2012.

 

An important market trend for 2013 was that almost 30% more fresh/chilled fillets were imported than compared with 2012, which was a value increase of $195.8 million (+33%). Also in 2013, fresh tilapia fillet supplies from Ecuador declined as farmers moved to more lucrative shrimp farming. The supply shortfall from Ecuador was well compensated by a 30% increase in imports of fresh fillets from Honduras, the leading exporter of fresh tilapia fillets in the US market. Fresh fillet imports also increased from Costa Rica (+54.8%) and Colombia (+46.2%).

 

Frozen tilapia fillets made up 76% of the total US tilapia imports in 2013, with a 5% decline in volume recorded but a 2.8% increase in value. Imports of whole frozen tilapia showed significant growth in volume (+50%) and in value (+67%). Major contributors were China, Taiwan Province of China and Panama. 

 

Fishchoice.com Market Report Updated September 2014 indicated that after holding steady for the first six months of the year at record high levels, the price of frozen 5/7 oz. treated tilapia fillets to distributors dipped a dime in July to $2.60/lb. Given that imports from China through June were up 15% to 65,000 metric tons, the weakness is not a surprise. The weakness may be temporary, though. Chinese processors say they are having a harder and harder time finding raw material to process, as some farms have switched to shrimp, which are selling at near record high prices. Facing a shortage of fish, in early September some Chinese processors have raised the delivered price they are quoting importers from $2.15/lb. to $2.25/lb. for 5/7 oz. fillets. China accounted for almost 90% of the U.S. supply of frozen fillets, with Indonesia the only other significant source. Through June, Indonesian exports of tilapia fillets to the U.S. were flat at about 5,500 metric tons. Imports of fresh tilapia fillets through June declined slightly to 13,500 metric tons. The decline would have been worse, but Honduras, the leading supplier of fresh tilapia to the U.S. market, exported 5,250 metric tons of fresh fillets, an increase of 44% over last year. Large new farms in Mexico are also coming on line, as imports of fresh Mexican fillets more than doubled to 1,600 metric tons. Supplies from Ecuador, on the other hand, continue to plummet as farms switch to shrimp. Imports from Ecuador, which until three years ago was the largest fresh tilapia supplier, declined by more than half to just 1,400 metric tons, making Ecuador only the fifth ranking supplier. Pricing for fresh tilapia has held steady for the most part of 2014 at $4.10/lb. to distributors for 5/7 oz. fillets FOB Miami.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

 

The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes presented herein. In addition to historical information, the following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed in this Form 10-K.

 

Overview and Financial Condition

 

New Global Energy, Inc. ("NGE" or the "Company") is a sustainable agriculture and aquaculture company organized as a Wyoming corporation on January 24, 2012 with executive offices located in Brevard County, Florida. The Company focuses on the use of advanced technology and farming techniques with the goal of increasing production and decreasing costs. The Company is focused on internal growth and growth through the acquisition of high-growth firms, assets and properties in the Green market space; industry segments of interest to the Company include sustainable agriculture, aquaculture and solar. Management is targeting growth stage assets, operations and companies that possess proprietary market edge and demonstrate solid opportunity to scale their business. We expect to pursue special opportunities that are anticipated to accelerate shareholder value by consolidating certain tiers of the $5 Trillion per year fragmented Green and Renewable Energy industry.

 

The first portion of the Company's development plan includes the development of its Global Energy Plantation ("GEP") using its Global Cell concept which combines alternative energy (source of usable energy intended to replace fuel sources without the undesired consequences of the replaced fuels) production, sustainable agriculture (practice of farming using principles of ecology, the study of relationships between organisms and their environment) and aquaculture (the processes of farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks and aquatic plants). In summation, our development plan will utilize non centralized solar panels to produce power for its own use and to feed into the power grid serving local power needs while producing farm grown fish, a process currently in operation, and, in future operations after the current year, shrimp.

Aqua Farming Tech, Inc. ("AFT") continued during the reported period to replace its existing brood stock used in its Tilapia production. It addition, in furtherance of the development of its feed development program, AFT planted Moringa on available acreage on the Company's "Thermal" property to be used and has been using it as a component of the feed used in its own aquaculture operations .

 

Important Note about Forward Looking Statements

 

Forward-looking statements such as this are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by a forward-looking statement. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: (1) the potential acquisitions or mergers may not be consummated in a timely manner, if at all; (2) any merger agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require the Company to pay a termination fee or reimburse certain expenses; (3) the diversion of management's attention from the Company's ongoing business operations; (4) the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel; (5) the effect of the announcement of any acquisition or Merger on the Company's business relationships, operating results and business generally; (6) competitive responses to any proposed Merger; and (7) the failure to obtain any requisite approvals to any Merger, such as stockholder approval. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014

 

The Company had revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $44,090, compared to revenues in 2014 of $31,322. The 2015 revenues result mainly from the sale of live fish including Tilapia and Silver Carp, and to a lesser extent, Moringa leaves cultivated from plants grown on AFT property.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $1,350,108, down from $3,494,048 for the prior year. The decrease can be attributed to a reduction in stock based compensation and overall operational costs, offset by an increase in fixed asset depreciation expense.

 

We charge the initial valuation of the conversion feature and warrants by offsetting the carrying value of the note up to the principal. Initial derivative values in excess of note principal are immediately charged to interest expense. Derivative valuation charged was $549,175 for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreasing the fair value of warrants to $10,935 as of December 31, 2015, with the decrease substantially due to the conversion and payment of the notes. Thederivative valuation charged to expense was $6,025,137 in 2014.

Emerging Growth Company:

 

We qualify 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, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

The Company has evaluated all new relevant accounting pronouncements for impact on our financial statements. Management does not believe the pronouncements will have a material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Although the consolidated financial statements show revenues, the Company's cash position is not sufficient to support the Company's daily operations for the next twelve months. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues. The company has minimal cash, a net loss of $14,977,382 and a working capital deficit of $2,469,734. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the designation of 25,000 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock as "Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock" providing for redemption, conversion and preferences as set out in the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Privileges, Preferences and Restrictions of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock of New Global Energy, Inc. filed as Exhibit 4.1 with our Form 8-K on January 22, 2015. 

 

 
12
 

 

In February and March 2015, the Company settled debt of $208,000 for 4,160 shares of the Company's Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred stock. The Company later issued 15,840 shares for $438,800 and recorded a stock subscription receivable of $353,200. The Company showed a loss upon the settlement of this debt of $1,086,715 based on the fair value of the preferred stock.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, net cash provided from financing activities was the result of $438,800 from the sales of preferred stock to a related party. An additional $15,210 was received directly from a second related party. Proceeds from notes offset against payments on notes netted a total cash outflow of $63,511.

 

The Company has historically met its cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities along with loans payable, notes payable from related parties and through the sale of both common and preferred stock.

 

On December 14, 2015, the Company issued a total of 283,783 shares of the Company's Restricted Common Stock to a related party. The shares were transferred in exchange for $133,378 in services provided by a related party to the Company.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

The company has acquired Net Revenue interests and crop leases (see Overview of Financial Condition above). In addition, the Company has been reviewing various real properties to utilize in its business plan and has been exploring the use of project finance structures to fund such acquisition and development of business activities. The Company expects to enter into such transaction or transactions during the next 12 months. There are currently no transactions under contract and there is no assurance that the company will be able to complete such transactions.

 

On May 11, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved the acquisition of certain technologies through three agreements including an exclusive license to VIP Patient Management Software System (Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR) Platforms) an exclusive license to Canacard Patient Management Systems Software, a HIPAA compliant platform that manages end-to-end transactions involved in providing safe access to controlled substances. The exclusive license from ALTERNATE HEALTH, INC., and is for a period of 20 years for the United States and Puerto Rico. This software is included under the International Patent Application PCT/CA2014/050890. The Company agreed to issue 1,500,000 commons shares for these licenses as well as warrants to purchase an additional 1,100,000 at a price equal to 50% of the market price on the day of issue.

 

During the reported period, the Company entered into a mutual rescission agreement with these two companies rescinding and terminating this transaction which had remained an executory agreement with no shares being transferred, money paid or services rendered.

 

During the reported period the Company retained a consulting firm under an investment banking agreement to act as financial advisor and represent the company as placement agent in the private placement of shares. The Company has paid $12,500 of the initial retainer under the agreement and has agreed to issue warrants for the purchase of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock over a period of 7 years at a price of $.001 per share.The Company valued these warrants on the grant date and is expensing the fair value over the six month term of the agreement.

 

 
13
 

 

During the reported period the Company entered into a sales commission agreement with a related party for the sale of tilapia futures. Per the agreement, signed in August of 2015, the related party is entitled to 40% of all futures sales when the buyer is referred by the related party. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has paid $370,740 to the related party, which is recorded as deferred commission and accrued an additional $6,630 in commissions due to the related party as a result of $875,601 in future fish sales. The payments received will be held as deferred revenue and the commissions paid as a deferred commission on the Company's balance sheet until the fish are delivered in 2016.

 

Commitments and Capital Expenditures

 

The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2015.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Mecca Solar Panels

 

On December 11, 201l, the company's subsidiary, Aqua Farming Technologies, Inc. "AFT", entered into a land lease and solar panel easement agreement with a related party. Per the agreement, AFT leased land under its ownership, called Mecca, to the related party for a 10 year period beginning at the date of solar panel installation in 2014 and at a total cost of $1.00 for the entire lease period. In exchange for the lease agreement, the related party purchased, at a cost of $540,987, a solar panel array installed at the Mecca property. As a fee for the energy provided to AFT's farm and equipment by the installed solar panels, AFT is committed to pay $3,130 per month for 72 months, beginning at installation date, to the builder of the solar array, Sun Valley Solar, Inc. or its assignee. In addition, on October 1, 2016, AFT will begin paying the related party $2,500 a month for the rest of the useful life of the solar array.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS.

 

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and a decline in the stock market. The Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company has limited exposure to market risks related to changes in interest rates. The Company does not currently invest in equity instruments of public or private companies for business or strategic purposes.

 

The principal risks of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices to which the Company and its subsidiary are exposed relate to interest rates on debt. The Company has fixed rate and variable rate debt. All debt outstanding to related parties, $396,036 and $295,558 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, has been borrowed at fixed interest rates of 10%. The Company has $640,819 of notes payable outstanding as of December 31, 2015, of which $31,000 has been borrowed at fixed rates of 10% and $111,361 bears no interest.

 

The remaining note payable, $489,459 to a bank, is subject to a variable interest rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime rate, or the "Index" plus 2.5% percent, with the minimum interest rate of 6.5%. The current Index rate as of the date of filing is 3.50%. An Index rate of over 4% is necessary for any adjustments in the current interest rate of the note, a rate which has not occurred since 2008. Taking these facts under consideration, as well as the 3 year payback period on the note, Management does not anticipate the interest rate on this note to change from 6.5% before payoff in 2017.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of New Global Energy, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of New Global Energy, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. New Global Energy, Inc.'s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We were not engaged to examine management's assertion about the effectiveness of New Global Energy, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New Global Energy, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses, has incurred negative cash flows from operations and has a working capital deficit. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NEW GLOBAL ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Background

 

New Global Energy, Inc. ("NGE" or the "Company") was organized on January 24, 2012. NGE's executive offices are located in Brevard County, Florida. The Company is focused on the development of its Global Energy Plantation ("GEP") Platform which combines alternative energy production, sustainable agriculture and aquaculture. It anticipates the use of non-centralized power plants, primarily concentrated solar power, Jatropha based biofuels and aquaculture operations to produce power for its own use and to feed into the power grid serving local power needs while producing farm grown fish and shrimp as food products. Management has begun to execute this plan through the purchase of a controlling interest in Aqua Farming Tech, Inc. ("AFT"). The Company is in the process of raising additional equity capital to support the completion of its acquisition and development activities. The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company. \

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has earned little revenue since inception, and supports its continued operations through debt financing, related party loans and the sale of equity. As of December 31, 2015, the company had a working capital deficit of $2,469,734 and an accumulated deficit of $36,950,311. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company is attempting to commence operations and generate revenues, the Company's cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern 

 

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Global Energy, Inc., and as of July 15, 2014, Aqua Farming Technologies Inc. ("AFT"), a California corporation, of which the company was determined to be the primary beneficiary as of July 15, 2014 when an additional 43.66% net revenue interest was acquired. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

 
20
 

 

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to intangible assets, income taxes, inventory valuation, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Cash and Cash EquivalentsFor financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Inventory: The Company's inventory consists of live fish and is stated at the lower of cost or market.

 

Deferred Revenue: The Company records the sale of fish for which delivery of the product has not yet occurred as deferred revenue in the current liabilities section of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for minor items, repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Gain or loss upon sale or retirement due to obsolescence is reflected in the operating results in the period the event takes place.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets: We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets including land, equipment, goodwill and investments, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Our primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations. No impairment was recognized during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

 
21
 

 

GoodwillImpairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As of December 31, 2014, goodwill recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet aggregated $16.182 million (the entirety of this amount relates to the company's completed acquisition of Aqua Farming Technology, Inc., "AFT", a California corporation). The AFT acquisition and its related operations constitute a reporting unit and we must make various assumptions in determining their estimated fair values. We perform an annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 350, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other," we perform goodwill impairment testing at least annually, unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit (the AFT farm operation being the company's only reporting unit) with goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including any unrecognized intangibles) as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. During our two step analysis, we identified, due to current operational challenges and future market potential in line with our current, fiscal year 2015 operational revenues, management has reached the conclusion that the carrying amount of the AFT reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill. As a result, an impairment of goodwill value being carried on the balance sheet and its related loss is deemed necessary.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2015, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test and estimated the fair value of our reporting unit based on the income approach (also known as the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method, which utilizes the present value of cash flows to estimate fair value). The future cash flows for our farm reporting unit was projected based on our estimates, at that time, of future revenues, operating income and other factors (such as working capital and capital expenditures). The discount rates used in our DCF method were based on a weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC") determined from relevant market comparisons, adjusted upward for specific reporting unit risks (primarily the uncertainty of achieving projected operating cash flows). A terminal value growth rate was applied to the final year of the projected period and reflected our estimate of potential growth. We then calculated a present value of the respective cash flows for the company's reporting unit to arrive at an estimate of fair value under the income approach and then used the market approach to corroborate this value. Under the market approach, we estimated a fair value based on comparable companies' market multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and factored in a control premium. The result of these methods led management to record an impairment of the goodwill in the amount of $12,502,318 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue during the period in which fish are delivered to the customer. Fish sold in the period, but delivered in a future period, is recorded as deferred revenue until the fish are delivered to the customer.

 

Stock Based Compensation: Stock-based awards are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Share-Based Payments. Our primary type of share-based compensation consists of stock options and warrants. The company had stock and warrant based compensation of $133,378 to a related party and $51,689 to unrelated third parties during the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

 
22
 

 

Accounting For Obligations And Instruments Potentially To Be Settled In The Company's Own Stock: We account for obligations and instruments potentially to be settled in the Company's stock in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments. This issue addresses the initial balance sheet classification and measurement of contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, the Company's own stock. The Company evaluates stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of FASB ASC 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity's Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: FASB ASC 825, "Financial Instruments," requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. FASB ASC 825 defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the carrying value of certain financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses.) approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments or interest rates, which are comparable with current rates.

 

Fair Value Measurements: The Company measures fair value under a framework that utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs which prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value are:

 

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

 

·

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; 

·

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

·

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

·

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

 
23
 

 

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

When the Company changes its valuation inputs for measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value, either due to changes in current market conditions or other factors, it may need to transfer those assets or liabilities to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfers occur. For the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no transfers of financial assets or financial liabilities between the hierarchy levels.

 

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

Earnings per Common Share: We compute net (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earning per Share. FASB ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their impact was antidilutive.

Income Taxes: We have adopted FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Pursuant to FASB ASC 740, we are required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

 

We must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. FASB ASC 740 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not to occur. Realization of our net deferred tax assets is dependent upon our generating sufficient taxable income in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to realize benefit from the reversal of temporary differences and from net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards. We have determined it more likely than not that these timing differences will not materialize and have provided a valuation allowance against substantially all of our net deferred tax asset. Management will continue to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax asset and its related valuation allowance. If our assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, we would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which we make the determination. Our tax rate may also vary based on our results and the mix of income or loss in domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

 

In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and to the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, we will reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We will record an additional charge in our provision for taxes in the period in which we determine that the recorded tax liability is less than we expect the ultimate assessment to be.

 

FASB ASC 740 which requires recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards. Measurement of deferred income tax is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized.

 

 
25
 

 

Uncertain Tax Positions: 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. In accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions, 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 percent 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 should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

Our federal and state income tax returns are open for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2015. We are not currently under examination by any jurisdiction for any tax year. At December 31, 2015 we had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were recognized under FASB ASC 740-10.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has evaluated new relevant accounting for possible impact on our consolidated financial statements and deemed their impact to be immaterial or non-applicable to the Company.

 

Note 2. Acquisition of Aqua Farming Tech, Inc. (AFT):

 

On July 15, 2014 the Company issued 1,250,043 shares of its common stock for the assignment of a 43.66% Net Revenue Interest in and to the net revenues from the operations of AFT's aquaculture operations in Southern California. Cash allocable to the Net Revenue Interest is calculated and distributed on a quarterly basis within forty five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter. Prior to this acquisition, the Company maintained a 36.6% minority equity interest in AFT.

 

On August 11, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 760,877 common shares of Aqua Farming Tech, Inc., a California corporation ("AFT") giving it a total ownership in excess of 99% of the outstanding shares of AFT. Prior to the acquisition of this block of common shares and since July, 2014 the company concluded that it was the primary beneficiary of AFT due to the combination of ownership interests and other rights held in AFT.

 

The acquisition of AFT was completed for consideration of 380,434 shares of New Global Energy Inc. common stock, plus warrants to purchase 380,434 shares of New Global Energy, Inc. common stock at a price of $2.00 per share, for a period of five years from the date of the transaction. These warrants include shareholder appreciation rights and shall be exercisable after six months from the date of the transaction. As a result, the financial position and operating results and cash flows of AFT have been included in the company's consolidated financial statements since July 15, 2014. 

 

 
26
 

 

Prior to its acquisition of a controlling equity interest, The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of AFT based on qualitative and quantitative factors. Specifically, the Company was entitled to a majority of the profits of AFT through its minority equity ownership in AFT and pursuant to Farm Development and Crop Lease agreements between the Company and AFT. The significance of the Company's interest in the Company's future profits were considered in determining that the Company has additional implicit variable interests resulting from its rights, which were disproportionate to its equity ownership. The carrying value of the assets and liabilities of AFT included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 are as follows:

 

Cash

 

$13,226

 

Receivables

In accordance with FASB ASC 350, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other," we perform goodwill impairment testing at least annually, unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including any unrecognized intangibles) as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

 

After managements review of step two of FASB ASC 350 during the fourth quarter of 2015, it has concluded that the carrying value of the assets held by AFT was not equal to the fair value and recorded an impairment in the amount of $12,502,318. All intangibles held by the reporting unit, such as customer lists and trade names, can be attributed a zero value due to the lack of historical revenue history.

 

For purposes of reviewing impairment and the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets, our operating segment constitutes a reporting unit and we must make various assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the reporting unit. We perform an annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Note 5. Notes Payable – related party

 

During 2014 the Company signed two unsecured promissory notes with a related party for an aggregate of $200,000. The notes bear interest at 6% per annum and were due one year from the date of issuance. During 2014 the company received $137,500 with the remaining $62,500 received in January 2015. The notes do not contain conversion rights. In February 2015, both of these notes were converted into 4,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. On January 1, 2015, the Company signed an unsecured promissory note with the same related party for $100,000. The note bears interest at 6% per annum and was due one year from the date of issuance. The proceeds related to this note were received between January and February 2015. In connection with the February conversion disclosed above, the related party converted $8,000 dollars of this note into 160 shares of the Company's Preferred stock. Pursuant to a debt release agreement signed between the Company and the related party in April 2016, the outstanding principal of the note, $92,000, was treated as the purchase of equity and resulted in the issuance of 1,840 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock under the preferred stock subscription agreement signed in February 2015.

Note 8. Derivative and Warrant Liabilities 

 

Embedded Conversion Feature

 

To properly account for the convertible notes payable discussed in Note 5 and 6, the Company performed a detailed analysis to obtain a thorough understanding of the transaction. The Company reviewed FASB ASC 815, to identify whether any equity-linked features in the notes are freestanding or embedded. The notes were then analyzed to determine if the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value. The Company determined that the embedded conversion features met the requirements for bifurcation pursuant to FASB ASC 815 due to the "Down Round Provision" and therefore accounted for the embedded conversion features of the notes as derivative liabilities. Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations as a derivative valuation gain or loss.

 

The calculated value of the embedded conversion feature resulted in a value greater than the value of the debt and as such, the total discount was limited to the original value of the related note principal. The convertible debt is recorded net of the discount. Any excess value of the initial derivative liability over the discount amount was charged to expense at the date of the notes' inception.

 

 
34
 

 

Warrants

 

The previous convertible debt was issued with an aggregate of 600,000 detachable warrants to purchase the Company's common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share at prices ranging from $1.00 to $3.00 and they expire at various dates in 2016.The exercise price of these warrants and the conversion rate of the debt is to be adjusted in the event that the Company issues or sells any shares of common stock, options, warrants or any convertible instruments (other than exempted issuances) at an effective price per share which is less than the exercise price of these warrants. Accordingly, in accordance with FASB ASC 815, the Company has accounted for these warrants as liabilities.

 

The Company values its warrant derivatives and simple conversion option derivatives using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions used for 2014 and 2015 include:

 

·

risk-free interest rate- 0.36%

·

warrant life is the remaining contractual life of the warrants, which is .55 of one year

·

expected volatility- 2014: 328.86% 2015: 247.90%

·

Stock Price on Measurement Date: 2014: $4.90 2015: $0.38

·

expected dividends-none

·

exercise prices as set forth in the agreements,

·

common stock price of the underlying share on the valuation date, and

·

number of shares to be issued if the instrument is exercised

 

The aggregate fair value of the warrants and the conversion feature was determined to be $10,935 and $0, respectively, at December 31, 2015 and $560,110 and $0, respectively, at December 31, 2014. The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Note 9. Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 assumes a 34% effective tax rate for federal income taxes. The company has no state tax liability.

 

The company has deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014 as follows:

 

 

 

 

2015

 

 

 

2014

 

Individual components giving rise to the deferred tax assets are as follows:

$2,444,190

 

 

$1,726,190

 

Less valuation allowance

 

 

(2,444,190)

$-

 

 

$-

 

 

The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, because it is not presently known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforwards.

 

At December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $4,000,000 in Federal and State tax loss carryforwards that can be utilized in future periods to reduce taxable income, and begin to expire in 2032. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the future utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that may have occurred previously or that could occur in the future.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax and interest assessment by these taxing authorities. Accordingly, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of tax positions it has taken in its tax returns or for the amount of any tax benefit that exceeds the cumulative probability threshold in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-15.

ITEM 9A. INTERNAL CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our Company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for our Company.

 

Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015(under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Accounting Officer), pursuant to Rule13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. As part of such evaluation, management considered the matters discussed below relating to internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that our Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2015 due to the lack of sufficient personnel to assure segregation of duties and the lack of a full time Chief Financial Officer and no full time accounting personnel to support the day to day accounting activities and the financial reporting function.

 

The term "internal control over financial reporting" is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of the registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

·

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;

 

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and

 

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that our Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2015 due to the following: Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2015 due to the lack of a full time Chief Financial Officer and no full time accounting personnel to support the day to day accounting activities and the financial reporting function.. As a result, we did not adequately test whether our financial activity level controls or our information technology general controls were operating sufficiently to identify a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that may result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Additionally, the company lacks an independent audit committee to oversee management.

 

Remediation of Material Weaknesses. 

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") Auditing Standard No. 5), or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. While management believes that the Company's financial statements previously filed in the Company's SEC reports have been properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with US GAAP, we have designed and plan to implement, or in some cases have already implemented, the specific remediation initiatives described below:

 

·

We are planning to hire one full time bookkeeper, in order to enhance our internal finance and accounting organizational structure.

·

We have hired a third party consultant who has the required background and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with SEC rules and regulations to assist us in our financial reporting requirements. This consultant will perform additional levels of analysis and quality control reviews within the accounting and financial reporting functions.

 

While we have not yet remediated these material weaknesses, we will continue our remediation efforts during fiscal 2016.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to such attestation pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

None noted.

 

INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS

 

The Company's management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
