NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
3Power Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 2002 under the name ATM Financial Corp. On April 1, 2008, the Company changed its name from ATM Financial Corp. to Prime Sun Power Inc. On March 30, 2011, the Company changed its name from Prime Sun Power Inc. to 3Power Energy Group, Inc. and increased its authorized share capital to 300,000,000 shares. The Company plans to pursue a business model producing renewable generated electrical power and other alternative energies.
The Company's primary efforts is to sell electricity generated by solar, wind, hydro, biomass and other renewable energy resources and to develop, build and operate power plants based on these technologies. The core approach of the Company's business is to deliver energy in markets where there is an inherent energy gap between supply and demand or where there exists long term, stable, government back by financial support for development of renewable energy.
On May 13, 2011, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), the Company consummated a reverse merger (“Merger”) with Seawind Energy Limited (“Seawind Energy”), Seawind Services Limited (“Seawind Services”, and together with Seawind Energy, the “Seawind”) and the shareholders of Seawind Energy (the “Seawind Group Shareholders” and together with the Company, and the Seawind Companies, the “Parties”). The Seawind Companies were formed under the laws of the United Kingdom.
In connection with the Merger, the Company issued 40,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to the Seawind Group Shareholders (such acquisition is referred to herein as the “Seawind Acquisition”).
Upon completion of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Seawind became 3Power Group, Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiary. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of Seawind with Seawind as the acquirer (reverse acquisition). The historical financial statements prior to May 13, 2011 are those of Seawind Energy. The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger”, since the stockholders of Seawind owned a majority of the Company’s common stock immediately following the transaction and their management has assumed operational, management and governance control.
The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Seawind pursuant to which Seawind was treated as the surviving and continuing entity. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with this transaction. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Seawind immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger. The accompanying consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the recapitalization.
In anticipation of the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company changed its name to 3Power Energy Group Inc. and increased its authorized share capital to 300,000,000 shares.
On July 4, 2011, the Seawind Energy Limited and Seawind Service Limited changed their name to 3Power Energy Limited and 3Power Project Service Limited, respectively.
Acquisition of Shala Energy sh .p .k:
On June 5, 2012, the Company and Shala Energy sh.p.k ("Shala") executed a master acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) where Shala agreed to transfer and the Company agreed to acquire 75% of the equity of Shala. Under the Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition”), the closing of the acquisition is subject to the Company’s completion and satisfaction of the due diligence on Shala and Shala’s partners with respect to their shares in Shala and upon the Company’s payment of the first year premium for the insurance bond premium issued in favor of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Republic of Albania in replacement of the then existing bank guarantee issued in favor of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Republic of Albania for the Shala River Concession Agreement, in the amount of 7,230,315 Euro (the “Required Insurance Bond Premium”). Shala is a firm specializing in developing hydro-electric projects, owning and operating sustainable energy projects in the hydro, wind and solar power sectors in Albania.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and it’s wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”). ASC 220-10 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

All assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, at respective balance sheet dates, shareholders' equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at an average exchange rate for the reporting periods. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income in the shareholders' equity in accordance with Codification ASC 220,
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated into GBP or LEK, as applicable at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in GBP and LEK into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Per share data
The Company accounts for net income (loss) per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss), by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock, adjusted to give effect to the exchange ratio in the Share Exchange in May 2011 (see Note 1), which was accounted for as recapitalization of the Company. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of Common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The Company had no common stock equivalents as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Income taxes
Income tax provisions or benefits for interim periods are computed based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on the Company's historical losses and its expectation of continuation of losses for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that it is not more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. As the Company anticipates or anticipated that its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017 would be fully offset by a valuation allowance, there is no federal or state income tax benefit for the three and Nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 related to losses incurred during such periods.

3POWER ENERGY GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2017
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.
Segment Information
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company in the same expense classifications in the statement of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has a deficit of $18,250,001 applicable to controlling interest compared with deficit of $19,337,016 applicable to controlling interest as of March 31, 2017, and has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows. For the nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company sustained operating loss of $492,769 compared to a net operating loss of $424,167 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
The Company's primary source of operating funds has been cash proceeds from related party loans. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

On November 14, 2012, CRG Finance AG (“CRG”) filed a complaint in the District Court for Southern District of New York for allegedly beaching a promissory note. However, the Company’s contention is that the promissory note was satisfied by a third party, Rudana Investment Group AG.
On January 17, 2013, the Company filed a motion to compel arbitration and on May 23, 2013, the Court granted the Company’s Motion to Compel and ordered that CRG file its claims as a AAA arbitration. On June 5, 2013, CRG filed its statement of claim with the AAA in the International Center for Disputed Resolution division. The Company filed its statement answer on July 8, 2013. The Company denies the allegations in the complaint and claims it is without merit. In defense of the action, the Company’s counsel vigorously sought documents from Rudana in an effort to establish the Company’s defense. However, due to the fact that Rudana was in the midst of a bankruptcy action in the Swiss Bankruptcy Court, the Company’s counsel sought an order from the AAA Arbitrator authorizing the Swiss Bankruptcy Court to provide documents establishing Rudana’s satisfaction of the debt.

On or about December 13, 2013, the AAA Arbitrator entered such an order and the Company’s counsel requested the documents.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 2002, as ATM Financial Corp.
On May 13, 2011 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Seawind Energy Limited (“Seawind Energy”) and its subsidiary Seawind Services Limited (“Seawind services”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Seawind Energy, in exchange for the issuance of 40,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (such transaction as “Seawind Acquisition”). The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and, accordingly, the Company is the legal survivor and Seawind Energy is the accounting survivor.
For accounting purposes, Seawind Energy was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Seawind Energy pursuant to which Seawind Energy was treated as the surviving and continuing entity. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with this transaction. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Seawind Energy immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger.
In anticipation of the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, on March 30, 2011 the Company changed its name to 3Power Energy Group Inc. and increased its authorized share capital to 300,000,000 shares. On July 4, 2011, Seawind Energy and Seawind Service changed their name to 3Power Energy Limited (“3Power Energy”) and 3Power Project Service Limited (“3Power Service”), respectively. Both 3Power Energy and 3Power Service were been dissolved as of December 31, 2017.
The Business
The principle planned business of the Company is to sell electricity generated by solar, wind, hydro, biomass and other renewable energy resources and to develop, build and operate power plants based on these technologies. The core approach of the Company’s planned business is to deliver energy in markets where there is an inherent energy gap between supply and demand or where there exists long term, stable, government backed financial support for the development of renewable energy. The strategic plan of the Company is to develop power plants and sell electricity in mature and emerging international energy markets at secure rates with the highest potential margins for return on investment.
Acquisition of Shala Energy sh .p .k:
On June 5, 2012, the Company and Shala Energy sh.p.k ("Shala") executed a master acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) whereby Shala agreed to transfer and the Company agreed to acquire 75% of the equity of Shala. Under the Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition”), the closing of the acquisition was subject to the Company’s completion and satisfaction of the due diligence on Shala and Shala’s partners with respect to their shares in Shala and upon the Company’s payment of the first year premium for the insurance bond premium issued in favor of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Republic of Albania in replacement of the then existing bank guarantee issued in favor of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Republic of Albania for the Shala River Concession Agreement, in the amount of 7,230,315 Euro (the “Required Insurance Bond Premium”). Shala is a firm specializing in developing hydro-electric projects, owning and operating sustainable energy projects in the hydro, wind and solar power sectors in Albania.
| 16 |
On August 10, 2012, after the conclusion of the due diligence efforts, the Company made the first year payment of required Insurance Bond Premium in the amount of 164,851 Euro ($211,972), and as such the Acquisition closed. The Acquisition resulted in the Company acquiring 75% of the interest in a hydro-electrical project of a total installed power of 127.6 MW of Shala River in Albania. The Shala River project finalization is in process with the Ministry of Albania.
In connection the acquisition of Shala, the Company is obligated for an aggregate of 4% of the total project costs as facilitator fees in either cash or the Company's common stock to Capital Trust Holding AG, as advisor for the Shala acquisition transaction. During the year ended March 31, 2013, the Company accrued $600,000 due to the facilitator fees for feasibility studies in process and recorded as expenses. In December 2013, the Company issued to Capital Trust Holding AG and its affiliates, 15,000,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $0.04 per share in settlement of the facilitator fees for feasibility studies.
During the year ended March 31, 2016, Shala began operations, acquiring assets and incurring costs. As such, this activity is including in our consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations for the current period.
On August 31, 2017, the Albanian Ministry of Energy granted Shala Energy Plc the concession for a new 83.45MW hydro power plant on the Shala River. In connection with the concession, as required by Albanian law, Shala Energy Plc is organizing a new subsidiary, 3Power Shala Sh.p.k., an Albanian special purpose company to design, finance, build and operate the power stations. At the same time, Shala Energy Sh.p.k will be dissolved the all assets and liabilities transferred to 3Power Shala Sh.p.k.
Current Focus
During the current fiscal year, Shala has continued to develop hydro power and solar plant concessions in the Republic of Albania.
In February 2017 the Albanian Government passed a further law enhancing the national consumption of renewable energy by 8% to 38% of nationally consumed electricity. Albania’s rivers are a national natural resource which potentially can provide a capacity of 4,000 MW of which currently only approximately 600 MW are being utilised.
Albania’s Mediterranean climate also provides the perfect environment for Solar PV produced energy.
Shala, through its operating office in Tirana, Albania, has developed concession opportunities of approximately 300 MW hydroelectric and 50 MW of Solar PV plants. Of these concessions approximately 100 MW are construction (shovel) ready but no construction has yet commenced. We estimate but cannot guarantee that construction will commence by late 2017. A further 100 MW are awaiting final construction permits and the remaining capacity is currently in the planning and permission application phase.
Shala is in on-going negotiations with international EPC and O&M providers on the basis of a “design, finance, build and operate” model.
Shala continues to be financially supported by its shareholders, but infrastructure and construction development phase will require substantial additional equity and senior debt. There is no assurance that such financing will be available and if it is not, that would have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to move into the construction phase.
In October 2017, we acquired 75% of Shala Energy Plc, a Republic of Ireland corporation. Shala Energy Plc was formed to assist with financing opportunities.
In October 2017, Shala Energy Plc formed a 80% owned subsidiary, 3Power Shala ShpK, as an Albanian Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”) as required by Albanian law, to bid and to successfully acquire an 83.5MW Shala River Concession.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016
We had no revenues from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
We incurred operating expenses of $208,032 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $138,178 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The increase is due to consulting fees, travel and other cost in the current period as compared to prior year in addition to depreciation expense of $975 incurred with our majority owned subsidiary Shala Energy as compared to $1,021 for the same period last year.
Our interest expense was $60,234 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $46,869 for the same period in 2016. The increase is due primarily to compounding of interest associated with note obligations. Additionally, we recognized a foreign currency transaction loss of $8,362 during the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to gain of $32,664 loss for the same period, last year.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2017 And 2016
We had no revenues from operations for the Nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
We incurred operating expenses of $492,769 for the Nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $424,167 for the Nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase is due to more consulting fees, travel and other cost in the current period as compared to prior year in addition to depreciation expense of $2,796 incurred with our majority owned subsidiary Shala Energy as compared to $3,005 for the same period last year.
During the Nine months ended December 31, 2017, we received an approval of our strike-off application for our discontinued U.K subsidiary. As such, we recognized a gain on disposal of a subsidiary of $1,853,916.
Our interest expense was $169,011 for the Nine months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $140,194 for the same period in 2016. The increase is due primarily to compounding of interest associated with note obligations. Additionally, we recognized a foreign currency transaction loss of $61,529 during the Nine months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $39,470 gain for the same period, last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017 was $8,857 compared to the total cash and cash equivalents of $19,495 as of March 31, 2017.
As of December 31, 2017, our total current assets were $330,514 compared to total current assets $30,230 as of March 31, 2017 and the total current liabilities were $6,641,817 as of December 31, 2017 compared to $6,927,821 as of March 31, 2017. The decrease in current liabilities was primarily due to write off of our U.K sub liabilities due to strike off of $1,584,709, net with increases of $590,439 in related party and other debt and increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $543,999.
Net cash used in operating activities was $17,121 for the Nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6,882 for the Nine months ended December 31, 2016. The cash flow used in operating activities consists of $1,130,608 net income; adjusted by gain on disposal of subsidiary of $1,853,916, increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $310,922, payments on the Company’s behalf by related party of $528,256, depreciation of $2,796, foreign currency transaction loss of $61,529, increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $260,262 and an increase in accrued interest of $164,267.
Net cash used in investing activities was $535 and $0 for the Nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. In 2017, we acquired operating equipment.
| 18 |
Net cash provided by financing activities was $-0- for the Nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Our pre-operational activities to date have consumed substantial amounts of cash. Our negative cash flow from operations is expected to continue and accelerate in the foreseeable future as the Company invests in capital expenditures to commence operations.
We will need to raise additional capital to implement our business plan and continue operations for any length of time. We are seeking alternative sources of financing, through private placement of securities and loans from our shareholders in order for us to maintain our operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in raising additional cash resources for our operations.
The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our March 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K states that our difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations and sustain operations raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified several accounting principles that we believe are key to the understanding of our financial statements. These important accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”). ASC 220-10 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”). The functional currency of our subsidiaries is British pounds (“GBP”) and Albania Lek (“LEK”). The financial statements of subsidiaries are translated into USD in accordance with the Codification ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. All assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, at respective balance sheet dates, shareholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting periods. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity in accordance with the Codification ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income.”
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated into GBP or LEK, as applicable at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.
| 19 |
Income taxes
Income tax provisions or benefits for interim periods are computed based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on the Company's historical losses and its expectation of continuation of losses for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that it is not more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. As the Company anticipates or anticipated that its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017 would be fully offset by a valuation allowance, there is no federal or state income tax benefit for the three and Nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 related to losses incurred during such periods.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company does not have any significant contractual obligations which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017 were not effective, for the same reasons as previously disclosed under Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the our last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On November 14, 2012, CRG Finance AG (“CRG”) filed a complaint in the District Court for Southern District of New York for allegedly beaching a promissory note (See Note 5 above).
On January 17, 2013, the Company filed a motion to compel arbitration and on May 23, 2013, the Court granted the Company’s Motion to Compel and ordered that CRG file its claims as AAA arbitration.
The Final Hearing in the AAA arbitration took place on February 27, 2014, wherein the Company was not able to establish its defense due to the lack of evidence from Rudana. The AAA Arbitrator entered an award of Euro 470,000 plus interest at the annual rate of 7.5% against the Company. As of March 31, 2014, the total award against the Company is Euro 728,241 ($816,795). On or about April 4, 2014, in an effort to perfect this award against the Company, CRG filed a petition with the Southern District of New York seeking to confirm the award. In addition, the Company accrued total of $56,835 as reimbursement of attorney fees and cost incurred by CRG and $15,500 as administrative fees and compensation to the Arbitrator.
On July 8, 2014, a judgment has been entered against 3Power in the Southern District of New York in the amount of $1,086,186. That judgment remains unpaid.
