PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS


We are a Delaware corporation whose principal office is located at 60 E. 42nd Street, Suite 4600, New York, NY 10165. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Company” as used herein refer to PwrCor, Inc. and our subsidiaries, Cornerstone Program Advisors LLC  (“Cornerstone”) and Sustainable Energy Industries, Inc. (“Sustainable”).  Until March 3, 2017, the Company was named Receivable Acquisition & Management Corporation, and did business as Cornerstone Sustainable Energy.


Description of the Business


The Company specializes in delivering energy infrastructure and alternative energy solutions to a range of commercial customers and to institutions such as hospitals and universities. The Company has begun to expand and transform its business to take advantage of opportunities in the alternative energy and clean energy arenas.


The Company has two major business components. The first major business component is the management of infrastructure projects for commercial and institutional customers. These projects typically involve some combination of energy infrastructure components, including electrical power generation, steam production, or chilled water production, as well as the infrastructure to distribute these services. Generally, the Company acts as the representative of the customer in overseeing and managing an infrastructure project, or can take the role of project developer under an agreement with the customer.  The Company has competitors, some of which are very large and well-recognized, but, in the non-profit hospital and university market in its geographical scope of operation, has developed a reputation for excellence and an established market position.  The Company operates in this first business component under its subsidiary, Cornerstone, a Delaware limited liability company, which it acquired in a merger on May 15, 2013 (the “Merger”).


The second major business component is the commercialization of its own proprietary engine technology which converts low-grade heat to mechanical energy.  The Company is actively marketing the technology particularly for power generation.  Approximately a year ago, the Company received its initial order for an engine based on this technology, has engineered and manufactured that engine specifically configured for power generation, and is in the process of completing that installation.  The technology used is non-polluting and entirely “green.” Based on its knowledge of the industry, management believes that the Company’s technology is arguably superior to all other lower-temperature engine technologies, such as those utilizing the organic Rankine physical cycle, and operates effectively at lower temperature ranges and heat flow volume than any others in the market.  The engines in this configuration promise to deliver substantial cost savings in most client applications, and are not unusually costly as compared to competing technologies.  Although the engine is readily built to order of common parts and components, continued material investments expected to be required by the Company.  The Company has begun to generate initial revenues through this business component.  The Company operates in this second major business component under its subsidiary, Sustainable, a New York corporation, which it acquired in the May 15, 2013 Merger.


The Company also has a smaller business component focused on initiatives in the financial markets.  One initiative offers to assist in arranging funding of infrastructure projects, arranging leasing and other financing arrangements for engines, and participations in power purchase agreements from developed projects, all designed to generate fees and obtain financial participations.  The Company has the capability of arranging favorable financing for projects involving non-profits.  The other initiative supports the run-off of the pre-Merger business of the Company, involving collections on a remaining portfolio of non-performing consumer and commercial receivables.  The Company has generated minimal revenues through this business component.


The Company’s primary markets are (i) large domestic non-profit institutions and organizations, particularly where electricity rates are high, and currently localized in the Northeast; (ii) the waste-heat-to-energy and geothermal marketplace, primarily domestic, typically power generation; and (iii) the independent power producer market, also primarily domestic.  All of these markets are large and multifaceted with no dominant customers.


Cornerstone is an energy infrastructure project management company focused on healthcare and higher learning institutions.  Sustainable is focused on the alternative energy business, with an emphasis on its proprietary “green” engine technology.


Prior to 2013, the Company was in the business of acquiring portfolios of performing, sub-performing and non-performing consumer and commercial receivables. The Company is no longer in this business.

Strategy


The Company is pursuing three growth initiatives:


(1)

Acquiring and applying “cleantech solutions” - technology, equipment and methods to solve client needs and provide a competitive advantage, such as cleantech engine technology. In the first such acquisition, the Company merged with Sustainable, the holder of manufacturing and sales rights for an engine technology that has since been abandoned by the Company in favor of a superior technology for which it has committed development resources in research and development, and for which it has acquired exclusive worldwide rights under an agreement described in the section beginning at the bottom of this page.


(2)

Making strategic acquisitions and entering into strategic joint ventures in and around its core areas of expertise. The first of these was in cleantech, described directly above.  Other potential acquisition or merger targets are continually under review.  They must meet rigorous financial and growth criteria, offer a strategic fit, and expand the market or competitive position of the Company. Targets include those in the clean water, bio incineration, waste heat recovery, and clean engine technologies.


(3)

Establishing and leveraging alliances, a number of which are established or in some level of development. We also intend to source business by helping companies offer a uniquely competitive financing and development platform to existing and prospective non-profit clients such as universities, hospitals and municipalities.


For the most part, power technologies are well known and widely available. The Company is focused on selecting the right technology or technologies for each project, and maintaining a constant focus on both cost effectiveness for the client and financial returns to the Company. To enhance its competitive position, however, the Company will focus on obtaining exclusive market positions and enhancing its technological strengths.


Industry Overview


The general marketplace for the Company’s offerings is composed of large consumers and producers of power which have an interest in (a) reducing energy consumption, (b) reducing the cost of energy, (c) improving the environmental profile of their energy production, or (d) some combination of these. The Company is engaged in this overall energy infrastructure industry at two separate points. These sub-industries, or markets, are relatively distinct, albeit related, so each will be described separately.


One market is composed of consumers of large amounts of energy, including large hospitals, colleges and universities. These institutions often operate large, and frequently aging, centralized utility plant and infrastructure installations which provide heat (typically steam), cooling (chilled water), and power to a sizeable campus of buildings. Energy infrastructure upgrades and improvements are often required to provide for expansion of campus facilities, replace aging equipment, and reduce the cost and/or the amount of their energy consumption. The Company, acting as the client’s representative, helps design and develop upgrades to or replacements of such facilities, and then oversees the implementation projects for these institutions. The Company may act as project developer or co-developer, and offers to arrange or assist in the project financing.  Projects are typically multi-year commitments and often complex.


The other market is the waste-heat-to-energy industry. The industry involves technologies for converting wasted heat or geothermal heat to power production. One example is the enormous and largely unexploited low-grade geothermal market.  Vast geothermal resources are currently untapped because earlier technologies were incapable of converting low-grade heat and low volume heat flows into power. The Company has a proprietary technology that can be utilized to convert this enormous natural resource into baseload power.


Technology Market, License and Agreements


The waste-heat-to-energy market, typical of the power production industry, relies heavily on experience, and the Company’s technology is relatively new and has little track record.  However, the scale of the available resource is so sizeable that there is a great deal of interest in developing it. The market potential has not been accurately measured because no technology existed to develop it. However, it is estimated that the energy available from lower temperature geothermal resources is a multiple of the energy tapped at higher temperature levels.  The geothermal market in the U.S. alone has approximately 3200MW of installed capacity. Almost all the added capacity increase in the past two decades has utilized lower temperature resources, yet far from as low as those at which the Company’s technology can operate.  Currently, an additional 4300MW is in some stage of development, representing an anticipated investment of some $13-$17 billion. Although the Company’s technology can be configured to operate in the entire range of temperatures, its prime market is in these untapped lower temperature resources.  This is in addition to a related market opportunity for adding this technology to capture waste heat from existing higher-temperature geothermal plants in a “bottoming cycle”, enabling them to increase output from an already-tapped resource.




3




The Company's technology is also well suited to the waste heat recovery market as related to industries that create wasted heat as a result of their manufacturing or production processes.  This market is well defined and, according to a report published by the U.S. Department of Energy, “The United States industrial sector accounts for approximately one-third of all energy used in the United States, consuming approximately 32 quadrillion (million billion) BTUs of energy annually and emitting about 1,680 million metric tons of carbon dioxide associated with this energy use.”  The opportunity in the waste heat recovery market is substantial.  The report continues, “A valuable alternative approach to improving overall energy efficiency is to capture and reuse the lost or ‘waste heat’ that is intrinsic to all industrial manufacturing. During these manufacturing processes, as much as 20% to 50% of the energy consumed is ultimately lost via waste heat contained in streams of hot exhaust gases and liquids, as well as through heat conduction, convection, and radiation from hot equipment surfaces and from heated product streams.  In some cases, such as industrial furnaces, waste heat recovery can improve energy efficiency by 10% to as much as 50%.”


The advantage of recapturing and utilizing waste heat is that it typically replaces purchased electric power, much of which does and will continue to require burning fossil fuels, or directly replaces fuels which must be purchased and combusted.  Thus it actually can directly reduce emissions and eliminate transmission losses.  Projections of market potential are truly enormous, with unrecovered waste heat in industrial processes estimated at half a quintillion (billion billion) BTUs.


In the third quarter of 2017, when patents had expired on technology the Company had licensed from a third party, the Company terminated the agreements it had with that party, a business which had not successfully commercialized its technology and which no longer had any active business.


In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company finalized an intellectual property License Agreement with Thermal Tech Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TTH”).  TTH is an affiliated entity owned equally by two entities controlled, respectively, by two directors of the Company, who also serve in management positions with TTH.  TTH is the owner of certain patent applications and the inventions relating to the Company’s proprietary engine technology (the “Licensed Patents and Technical Information”).  The Licensed Patents and Technical Information were developed by an independent non-profit research institute (the “Contractor”).  All work done by the Contractor was paid for by TTH.  TTH, rather than the Company, was at risk if the research, development, engineering and design work were of little or no value.  Furthermore, the work performed by the Contractor for TTH was confidential for competitive business reasons.


The Patent License grants the Company a worldwide license to use the Technical Information to make, use or sell any products (the “Licensed Products”) and/or services which would be covered by any Licensed Patent.  Although the license is non-exclusive, TTH may not license these specific Licensed Patents and Technical Information to any competitive entity, or to any other entity without the prior written consent of the Company.


The Company agreed to pay TTH a royalty equal to five (5%) percent of the Net Revenue (as defined) of all Licensed Products covered by a Licensed Patent sold by the Company and its affiliates, as well as an initial license fee of $135,000, towards which $94,500 was paid in 2017.  The Patent License will terminate upon the expiration of all Licensed Patents.  The Company may terminate the agreement on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice.  TTH may terminate the agreement on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice for uncured defaults (as defined).


The Company has branded its engine technology “PwrCor™”.


On December 27, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Modoc County, California, to supply its PwrCor™ engine as part of a demonstration project that will convert ultra-low-grade heat into electricity.  The heat is being obtained from a geothermal hot spring which comes to the surface at temperatures of approximately 190° F.


Funding was arranged by Modoc County via a grant from the California Energy Commission with the Company entitled to revenues of up to $123,624 while being responsible for expenses of up to $54,000.  The project is being managed by Warner Mountain Energy, which specified the PwrCor™ engine, and is in the process of being completed.


Employees


As of December 31, 2017, the Company had four consultants as officers under consulting agreements, with Thomas Telegades, the CEO and interim CFO; Peter Fazio, the COO; Wallace Baker, the Chief Administrative Officer and Corporate Secretary; and James Valentino, the non-executive Chairman; and no part-time employees.  See Item 11 “Executive Compensation” below.  Carefully selected contractors are used for managing infrastructure projects, matched to the needs of these clients.  Their staffing levels vary depending on the number and size of infrastructure projects underway.  The Company prefers to outsource non-core, non-critical activities wherever possible, including manufacturing activities.

Overview


On May 15, 2013, Receivable Acquisition & Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation, completed the acquisition of Cornerstone Program Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cornerstone”) and Sustainable Energy Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sustainable”), and assumed the operations of each of these entities (the “Merger”).  Receivable Acquisition & Management Corporation had operated as a business purchasing and collecting upon defaulted consumer receivables; those operations were ceased and collections on any remaining receivables are being run off.  Cornerstone has been in the business of managing energy infrastructure projects, specializing in the non-profit marketplace.  Sustainable is in the business of developing, marketing, and implementing clean tech technologies.  The Company has refocused on managing energy infrastructure projects and developing applications for a proprietary environmentally benign heat conversion technology with particular focus on the geothermal and waste-heat-to-energy production markets.


Shareholders approved a name change to PwrCor, Inc. at the shareholder meeting in January, 2017.  The corporate name change in Delaware to “PwrCor, Inc.” was effective on March 3, 2017.  The name change had been approved by a large majority of shareholder votes at the Company’s shareholder meeting earlier in the year.


Results of Operations


Year ended December 31, 2017 as compared with December 31, 2016.


Revenue


During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss of ($693,615) on revenues of $955,938, versus a net loss of ($23,828) on revenues of $945,619 in the year ended December 31, 2016.  The increased loss was substantially due to the expenditures the Company devoted to the project for Modoc County, CA, and for related research and development.


The margin of project management revenue over the corresponding cost of subcontracted consultants for such projects has improved slightly from 2016 to 2017.  The gross profit for that activity for the year ended December 31, 2017 was approximately 20% of project management revenues, versus approximately 19% in 2016.


The revenue increase for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the prior year was a consequence of income recognition for the Modoc County project, which more than offset a modest decline in project management revenue.


Operating Expenses


Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $1,649,553, versus $969,447 during the year ended December 31, 2016.  The 70% increase in operating expenses in 2017 as compared with 2016 is primarily due to expenditures on the Modoc County project and related research, development, and fulfillment in the aggregate of $564,236 versus zero for 2016, and to a lesser extent on higher professional fees for legal and investor relations work.


General and Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $163,881, versus $150,418 during the year ended 2016.  The bulk of this increase was attributable to higher expenses associated with business development, shareholder relations, and the Modoc County project.  Legal and other professional fees increased to $194,932 in 2017 from $92,286 in 2016 as the Company prepared for and conducted both a shareholder meeting and a private placement.




7



Consulting Expenses


The Company outsources a significant portion of its project management, oversight and advisory activities to a carefully selected group of small firms and subcontractors with expertise specific to the projects underway.  As of the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company was using six such consulting resources. Consulting expenses consistently constitute the bulk of operating costs for the project advisory and management business activities of the Company, and accordingly generally track revenue.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of ($57,073) versus working capital of $62,348 as of year ended December 31, 2016.  This change was due to the financial commitments made on the Modoc County project in late 2017, which despite a somewhat improved cash position resulted in substantially increased payables, which decreased working capital.


As of December 31, 2017, the Company had net cash of $114,217 as compared with $90,764 at December 31, 2016. At the end of 2017, net cash (used) by operating activities was $(533,750) as compared with $(33,403) at December 31, 2016.  The increase in net cash used by operating activities was primarily due to expenditures associated with both research and development costs, and the Modoc County project.


At the end of 2017, there was $665,000 net cash provided by financing activities versus $5,000 during 2016.  This increase was due to a financing in late 2017, wherein the Company raised gross proceeds of $665,000 in a private placement of common stock to investors.


In late 2016, the Company completed the bulk of its work on the planning phase of a major infrastructure project at one long-time customer.  Continued but limited activity related to regulatory authority approvals and permitting has been taking place since that time.  An implementation phase is expected to begin in the near future, but no date has been set, and there is no assurance that the Company will be selected to manage that phase.


The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and cash infusions by major stockholders, will be sufficient to finance its operations for the next twelve months. However, the Company expects to seek additional capital to cover any working capital needs and its contractual obligation discussed below, and to fund growth initiatives in its identified markets. There can be no assurance that any new debt or equity financing arrangement will be available to the Company when needed on acceptable terms, if at all.  The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to collect its receivables and increase revenues.


Income Taxes


The Company has paid modest taxes to New Jersey, New York State and New York City, and does not expect any material income tax liability for the period ended December 31, 2017.


Contractual Obligations


Separately, as noted in Item 1 above, the Company has signed an agreement with the County of Modoc, California, committing the Company to provide an engine to convert ultra-low-grade heat from a geothermal resource into electricity.


Critical Accounting Policy & Estimates


Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses 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 management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources and our consideration of going concern. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the financial statements included in this annual report.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PwrCor, Inc.


Opinion on the Financial Statements


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PwrCor, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Basis for Opinion


These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.


Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



/s/ PKF O'Connor Davies, LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2012.

PwrCor, Inc.


Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2017



1. Organization and Nature of Business


PwrCor, Inc. (the “Company” or “PwrCor”) was until the first quarter of 2017 named Receivable Acquisition & Management Corporation (“RAMCO”) and doing business as Cornerstone Sustainable Energy.  RAMCO, a public reporting entity, was in the business to purchase, manage and collect defaulted consumer receivables.


Cornerstone Program Advisors LLC (“Cornerstone”), a Delaware limited liability company formed July 26, 2010, is an energy infrastructure project management company focused on healthcare and higher learning institutions. Sustainable Energy Industries, Inc. (“Sustainable”) is a New York corporation involved in developing and improving the efficiency of energy infrastructure using advanced proprietary technologies.  As a result of a reverse merger acquisition (the “Merger”) between RAMCO, Cornerstone, and Sustainable during 2013, the Company adopted a business plan to build on the business of Cornerstone and Sustainable in energy infrastructure and alternative energy.


In January 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved a name change to PwrCor, Inc., which became effective in March 2017.



2. Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates


The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include valuation of shares issued for services, recognition of income for work completed and unbilled to customers, the allowance for doubtful accounts, and the valuation of License Agreements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and cash infusions by major stockholders, will be sufficient to finance its operations for the next twelve months.  The Company expects to seek additional capital to cover any working capital needs and its contractual obligations, and to fund growth initiatives in its identified markets.  However, there can be no assurance that any new debt or equity financing arrangement will be available to the Company when needed on acceptable terms, if at all.  The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to raise funds, collect accounts receivable, and receive revenues.


Cash


The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions it invests with. From time to time, however, the Company briefly maintains balances in operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.


Accounts Receivable


Receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. At December 31, 2017, an allowance for doubtful accounts was made totaling $63,270 to provide for the possibility of a revenue shortfall from the project in Modoc County, and is reflected in the accounts receivable balance on the balance sheet in the accompanying financial statements.  In 2016, no allowance for doubtful accounts had been provided.


Income Recognition


The Company recognizes income from the sale of services and products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and the collectability of the related income is reasonably assured.





F-6



PwrCor, Inc.


Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2017



2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


The Company principally derives income from fees for services generated on a project-by-project basis. Prior to the commencement of a project, the Company reaches an agreement with the client on rates for services based upon the scope of the project, staffing requirements and the level of client involvement. It is the Company’s policy to obtain written agreements from new clients prior to performing services. In these agreements, the clients acknowledge that they will pay based upon the amount of time spent on the project or an agreed-upon fee structure. Income for services rendered is recognized on a time and materials basis or on a fixed-fee or capped-fee basis in accordance with accounting and disclosure requirements for income recognition.


Fees for services that have been performed, but for which the Company has not invoiced the customers, are recorded as unbilled receivables.


Income for time and materials contracts is recognized based on the number of hours worked by the Company’s subcontractors at an agreed upon rate per hour, and are recognized in the period in which services are performed. Income for time and materials contracts is billed monthly or in accordance with the specific contractual terms of each project.


Income from engine sales contracts is recognized under the percentage-of-completion accounting method.  The percentage completed is measured by the cost incurred to date compared to the estimated total cost on each contract.  This method is used as management considers expended cost to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts, which are expected to be completed within one year.  Inherent uncertainties in estimating costs make it at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term and over the lives of the respective contracts.  Deferred income represents the net amount due, or received, under contract terms in excess of the work completed to date.


Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.


Fixed Assets


Fixed assets are being depreciated on the straight line basis over a period of five years.  Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $12,303 and $7,406, respectively.


License Agreements


At the time of the Merger, Sustainable had a series of agreements including an exclusive, renewable 20-year engine technology license agreement (the “Agreement”) with a third party licensor that had developed engines capable of converting heat into other forms of energy.  The agreements were assigned to the Company.  Under the terms of the Agreement, it could be cancelled by the Company during the term once the patents upon which it was based expired.  The newer of two patents expired in August of 2017, and the Company elected at that time to exercise its right to cancel the Agreement.


The third party licensor had been classified in 2010 as dissolved by the Delaware Division of Corporations, and similarly by the Arizona Corporation Commission, and has not reinstated its charters.  Despite this status, during July, 2017, the Company received a demand letter from the principal of that firm claiming that an aggregate total of $1,104,367 was due the firm under the Agreement, and to the principal for consulting work.  The Company and its counsel believe that the claims are without merit and would vigorously defend any potential lawsuit.  The Company believes it has no outstanding obligation to either party, and took the remaining unamortized asset value of the Agreement, $20,307, as a charge against earnings in the third quarter of 2017.


Subsequently, in December, 2017, the Company entered into an intellectual property license agreement with Thermal Tech Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TTH”).  TTH is an entity owned equally by two entities affiliated, respectively, with two directors of the Company, who also serve in management positions with TTH.


TTH is the owner of certain patent applications as well as the inventions relating to the Company’s proprietary engine technology (the “Licensed Patents and Technical Information”).  The Licensed Patents and Technical Information were developed by an independent non-profit research institute (the “Contractor”).  All work done by the Contractor was paid for by TTH in order that TTH, rather than the Company, would be at risk if the research, development, engineering and design work were of little or no value.  Furthermore, the work performed by the Contractor for TTH was confidential for competitive business reasons.

PwrCor, Inc.


Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2017



2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


The Patent License grants the Company a worldwide non-exclusive license to use the Technical Information to make, use or sell any products and/or services which would be covered by these specific Licensed Patents.  However, TTH may not license any Licensed Patents and Technical Information to any competitive entity, or to any other entity without the prior written consent of the Company.


The Company will pay TTH a royalty equal to five (5%) percent of the Net Revenue (as defined) of all Licensed Products covered by a Licensed Patent sold by the Company and its affiliates, as well as an initial license fee of $135,000.  The Patent License will terminate upon the expiration of all Licensed Patents.  The Company may terminate the agreement on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice.  TTH may terminate the agreement on ninety (90) days’ prior written notice for uncured defaults (as defined).


Income Taxes


The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by the tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2014 - 2016).



Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) per Share


The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted income (loss) per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive income (loss) per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.


For 2017 and 2016, basic (loss) and diluted (loss) per share were the same.  The warrants outstanding at December 31, 2017 are antidilutive.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and does not expect the standard to have a material impact.


In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15: “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The term probable is used consistently with its use in Topic 450, Contingencies. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-15, and accordingly management has assessed its ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months.  Based on management’s assessment of the Company’s expected future revenue and expenses, management believes the Company can continue to operate as a going concern.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2017



2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.


Subsequent Events


Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure and/or recognition in the financial statements through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued.



3. Related Party Transactions


Consulting Fees


Certain stockholders of the Company and entities affiliated with management that perform services for customers were compensated at various rates. Total consulting expenses incurred by these entities amounted to $520,737 and $539,118 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Amounts payable to these entities amounted to $123,802 and $168,349 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


Prepaid Expenses


Amounts were advanced in 2017 to a consultant, who is also a stockholder and officer of the Company, for travel on Company business and related work committed to be conducted in future periods under an agreement with that consultant.  These advances totaled $5,000 in 2017.  This amount is one third lower than the $7,500 advanced in 2016, which was repaid by retirement of shares of stock.



4. License Agreement


The agreement covering Licensed Patents and Technical Information entered into with TTH in December, 2017 provides for an initial license fee of $135,000, with certain subsequent royalty payments.  Of this amount, $94,500 was paid out in December. The Company has the right to cancel the agreement upon 90 days’ notice.


The accompanying December 31, 2017 balance sheet presents the carrying value of the license fee at $94,500, net of $0 in accumulated amortization.  The carrying value of the License Agreement at December 31, 2016 relates to the agreement with a different licensor which the Company cancelled in August of 2017.  The cost of the license agreement will be amortized commencing in 2018, over its estimated service period.


The Company periodically performs an analysis of its contractual rights and arrangements and establishes asset value based on that analysis.



5. Concentrations


The Company grants credit in the normal course of business to its customers.  The Company periodically performs credit analysis and monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce credit risk.


Two customers accounted for 96.0% and 6.2% of the Company’s total income during the year ended December 31, 2017, and the same two customers accounted for 95.1% and 3.8% during the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.


Two customers accounted for 90.8% and 5.4% of total net accounts receivable at December 31, 2017, accounted for 81.9% and 2.3% respectively at December 31, 2016.

6. Stock Issuance


In September and October 2017, the Company issued 6,650,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.10 to thirteen individual investors in return for a capital infusion of $665,000.  Each share issued was accompanied by a warrant for one-half share of common stock; the warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share.  The Company claims an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  No commissions were paid and no underwriter or placement agent was involved in this transaction. The proceeds of this transaction were used for the Company’s working capital and general corporate purposes.


The Company also issued 150,000 shares for professional services valued at $12,000 or $0.08 per share, and also issued 333,290 shares at a per share price of $0.10 to individuals or entities related to individuals who hold management positions with the Company, in return for capital contributed in a prior period.

7. Commitments (continued)


Engine Agreement

On December 27, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Modoc County, California, to supply its PwrCor™ engine as part of a demonstration project that will convert ultra-low-grade heat into electricity.  The heat is being obtained from a geothermal hot spring which comes to the surface at temperatures of approximately 190° F.  The project is being managed by Warner Mountain Energy, which specified the PwrCor™ engine, and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2018.


Funding was arranged by Modoc County via a grant from the California Energy Commission with the Company entitled to revenues of up to $123,624 while being responsible for in-kind cost share expenses of up to $54,000.  Under Modoc County’s contract, some 80% of the total project revenue was payable to the Company at or near the completion of the project.  The other 20% was billed in late 2016 and received in early 2017.


At year end 2017, the Company had completed 81% of its project work, and has recognized revenue of $97,858 for the year, offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts of $63,270.


Depending on the progress of the installation, it is possible that the Company could incur additional unanticipated costs not to exceed an estimated 5% of the project value before all contractually related commissioning of the engine is finalized.  This is in part due to delays in completion of necessary infrastructure work by other contractors at the project site, over which the Company has no control, and also in part because of an ongoing commitment by the Company to the overall success of the project.


As is typically the case with these types of projects, there have been delays in the project schedule, some of which were incurred by other project participants asking the Company to make changes to the engine system and perform work in addition to that specified in its contract.  The Company is tracking the additional costs associated with these changes expecting to be compensated accordingly for these change orders.  However, final negotiations, contractual changes, grant limitations, and the requirement of the California Energy Commission to close out the funding grant at the end of the first quarter of 2018 make it increasingly uncertain that full potential revenue amounts may be realized, or that the full amount of the Company’s change orders will be reimbursed. Accordingly, the Company has taken an allowance against project revenue as noted above.


Furthermore, the Company remains required to fulfill its in-kind cost share contribution of $54,000 as called for in its contract with Modoc County, and the Company expects to have completely fulfilled its in-kind cost share contribution by the end of the first quarter of 2018.



8. Income Taxes


There was no provision for income tax for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.  The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return.


On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted by the U.S.  Among the changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. Federal income tax rate applicable to corporations from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018.


The difference between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting are not considered material. There were approximately $1,130,000 in net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2017, and approximately $870,000 at December 31, 2016, representing a potential deferred tax asset.  The deferred tax asset amounted to approximately $237,000 at December 31, 2017 due to declining corporate tax rates, but was calculated at $290,000 at December 31, 2016 when rates were higher.  For net operating losses prior to the Merger, net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitations as a result of a change in ownership as defined by IRC Section 382. Upon an assessment of the potential of realizing these deferred tax assets in the future, an offsetting valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of the deferred tax assets.



9. Subsequent Events


At the Company shareholder meeting held January 20, 2017, shareholders by a very large margin approved a reverse stock split within one year and corresponding amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.  Because the reverse stock split had not yet taken place, it was extended two more years by majority shareholder vote on January 5, 2018.

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


None.


ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our principal executive and principal financial officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.  He has concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2017 to ensure that:


(1)

Information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commissions’ rules and forms; and


(2)

Controls and procedures are designed by the Company to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management including the principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding financial disclosure.


This term refers to the controls and procedures of a Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.


(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Overview


Internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by our 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. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.


Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures.  Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override.  Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.  However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.


Management has used the 2013 framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


Management’s Assessment


Based on this assessment, management has determined that, as of the December 31, 2017 measurement date, there were no material weaknesses in both the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We noted that there is a lack of sufficient internal accounting resources and lack of segregation of certain duties at the Company due to the small number of people with responsibility for general administrative and financial matters.  At this time, management has decided that considering the individuals involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation of duties are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding additional resources to clearly segregate duties do not justify the additional expenses associated with such increases.  Additionally, we retain an outside consultant firm to assist in the financial reporting process.  We therefore conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2017. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation. If the volume of business increases and sufficient capital is secured, it is the Company’s intention to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general, administrative and financial functions.



10




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 attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to final rulings of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, in 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings


To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:


·

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);


·

had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence,” none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission.


Term of Office


Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the Board.


Code of Ethics


The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to this Report.


Corporate Governance


The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of our Board. The Board has conducted meetings as needed since the Closing of the Merger.  Each of our directors has attended all meetings either in person or via telephone conference.


Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight


Our board of directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The board of directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding the Company’s assessment of risks. The board of directors focuses on the most significant risks facing the Company and the Company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by the Company are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.




13



The Company does not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee.  The board of directors is responsible for all aspects of governance of the Company, including functions that would be delegated to such committees.


SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE


Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock to file with the SEC and the Company reports on Form 4 and Form 5 reflecting transactions affecting beneficial ownership. Based solely on a review of the copies of the reports furnished to us, or written representations that no reports were required to be filed, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors, officers, and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with, except for a Form 4 filed by Peter Fazio for sales made in March 16, 2016.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Year-End


None.


Option Exercises and Stock Vested


No executive officer identified in the Summary Compensation Table above received or exercised any option in fiscal year 2017.


Benefit Plans


In 2013, the Board adopted and received consent of majority of shareholders for the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2013 Plan”) and the reservation of an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to the 2013 Plan. The 2013 Plan, approved by our stockholders, replaces the Company’s last stock option plan, which was adopted in April 2004, and will be used to help attract, retain and motivate employees, consultants and directors.



14



The affirmative vote of the Majority Shareholders was required for the approval of the 2013 Plan.


The 2013 Plan is available to employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and members of the Board, or as applicable, members of the board of directors.  The Board believes that the 2013 Plan will promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by continuing to link the personal interests of participants to those of the Company and its stockholders and by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to our stockholders. The Board further believes that the 2013 Plan will provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract and retain the services of employees, consultants and Directors upon whose judgment, interest and special effort the successful operation of the Company is largely dependent.


The 2013 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units and performance-based awards to eligible participants.


There were no grants of plan-based awards to named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2017.


Non-qualified Deferred Compensation


The Company does not have any defined contribution or other plan which provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified.


Consulting Agreements


The Company entered into an agreement in 2013 and renewed in 2016 with Thomas Telegades, Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer, and Director of the Company, under which Mr. Telegades shall serve on a full-time basis as Chief Executive Officer for a three year term beginning on May 15, 2016.  The agreement specifies that Mr. Telegades shall be paid annual compensation of up to $150,000 for his services.  The agreement includes non-competition and non-solicitation provisions which expire the later of three years from May 15, 2016, or one year following his termination or voluntary resignation.

The Company entered into an agreement with Wallace Baker, a director of the Company, under which Mr. Baker serves on a full-time basis as Chief Administrative Officer and Secretary of the Company for a three year term beginning on July 1, 2017.  The agreement specifies that Mr. Baker shall be paid annual compensation of up to $150,000 for his services.  This agreement includes non-competition and non-solicitation provisions which expire the later of three years from July 1, 2017, or one year following his termination or voluntary resignation.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS


The following table sets forth certain information concerning the ownership of our common stock as of March 29, 2018, with respect to: (i) each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of each class of stock; (ii) all of our directors and executive officers; and (iii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. The notes accompanying the information in the table are necessary for a complete understanding of the information provided below. As of March 29, 2018 there were 207,662,722 shares of common stock outstanding.


We believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as being owned by them, except as otherwise provided in the footnotes to the below table.


Under federal securities laws, a person or group of persons is: (a) deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares as of a given date which such person has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date and (b) assumed to have sold all shares registered hereby in this offering. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares held by each person or group of persons named above on a given date, any security which such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date is deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person or persons, but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.   This assumes that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by such person or group of persons and which are exercisable within 60 days of the date of this report, have been exercised or converted.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


Since January 1, 2017, there has not been any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or are a party in which the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the applicable year-end and in which any of our directors or executive officers, any holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the compensation arrangements described in “Executive Compensation” and the transactions set forth below.


In connection with the Merger by and among the Company, Cornerstone, and Sustainable, which was completed May 15, 2013, the Company entered into a voluntary share exchange transaction (the “Exchange”) whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership units of Cornerstone and the issued and outstanding shares of Sustainable in exchange for the issuance to the members of Cornerstone and issuance to the shareholders of Sustainable a total of approximately 176,400,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”).  Prior to the Merger, the Company had approximately 19,600,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.  All of the Common Stock owned by directors Thomas Telegades, Peter Fazio, James Valentino, and Wallace Baker, or by trusts or limited liability companies at their designation, as of December 31, 2017 consists of Consideration Shares that they received in connection with the Merger, shares acquired from other directors, or shares received as a result of additional contributed capital invested in the Company.


See Part II, Item 11, “Employment Agreements” for information regarding the compensation agreements with the various officers and directors of the Company. For 2017, all of the Company’s officers waived any compensation owed to them under such agreements. No amounts were paid to these officers nor did any amounts accrue.


In 2017, the Company incurred $92,330 in charges to Cornerstone Program Advisors Ltd for various consulting services.  Cornerstone Program Advisors Ltd provided such services to the Company in 2013 after the Merger and did so to Cornerstone prior to the Merger, when it was also a member of Cornerstone.  As noted above, Cornerstone Program Advisors Ltd is wholly-owned by Thomas Telegades’ wife.  Mr. Telegades is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.


In 2017, the Company undertook an obligation of $135,000 to Thermal Tech Holdings, LLC for licensing certain intellectual property.  Thermal Tech Holdings, LLC is owned by entities which are controlled by persons related to Mr. Telegades, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Baker, Chief Administrative Officer of the Company.  See Item 1 - “Business”.


Director Independence


Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:


·

the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;


·

the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);


·

a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;


·

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipients consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);


·

the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.


Monirul Hoque was elected an independent director of the Company at our January 20, 2017, Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee.
