PART I

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We are a Delaware corporation, incorporated on November 27, 2000. Our authorized capital stock consists of 99,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 each and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 each. The rights and preferences of the preferred shares will be designated by the Board of Directors.

On December 15, 2000, we acquired the option rights to the Alpha License and marketing survey data from our founder and principal, Michael Rouse, in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of our common stock and his promotional services and out-of-pocket expenses over the past 18 months in acquiring the option from Alpha. We reserved 10,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock for Alpha to acquire the license. In July 2002, Alpha modified the agreement to allow us to acquire the license agreement in advance of completing our registration statement and accepted a note as payment for the licensing fee and for the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of common stock in lieu of the original 10,000,000 shares. We exercised our option and acquired the licensing rights on July 22, 2002 with a $250,000 promissory note payable to Alpha and the stock on July 22, 2002. During 2005, the Company satisfied the $250,000 debt through the issuance of 125,000 shares of registered common stock valued at $2.00 per share. Michael Rouse, our CEO, and Alpha each returned 5,000,000 shares, which the Company retired. Alpha held the core rights to the licensed technology which was licensed to us. The novel patents are registered in the name of Robert L. Scragg, the majority shareholder of Alpha.

We utilized a Regulation D, Rule 506 offering to raise capital and we intended to raise $2 million in capital from an SB-2 registration followed by a private placement for a minimum of $10 million to meet the terms and conditions of the Alpha License option agreement. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise $10 million in the future. Failure to raise these funds would adversely affect us by causing delays in developing an engineered prototype which is necessary to secure a manufacturing partner for our engine. Alpha designs, constructs and tests prototypes derived from their core technology and license the technology to companies that have potential ability to commercialize the different applications. To date, Alpha has not licensed its technology to any company other than us, and there are no products on the market utilizing the Alpha technology.

Our major asset is the ownership of an exclusive License from Alpha for manufacturing and marketing heavy duty highway truck engines utilizing Alpha’s “Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine” (“DCGT”) technology embodied in U.S. Patent No. 6,000,214 and other proprietary technology and rights owned by Alpha including Marketing Survey Data in the highway trucking industry. Detonation refers to an instant burning of a fuel-air mixture producing an explosion. Cycle refers to the explosion happening in one chamber and then in another chamber, repeating over and over again. Gas is the fuel which is in a gaseous state. Turbine is a rotating wheel or disk connected to a shaft spinning in one direction. This combined process along with the EIC process creates the high efficiency, low emission engine that we intend to bring to market.


Table of Contents

On September 29, 2006 the Company and Alpha Engines Corporation settled the $416,667 of accrued royalty fees to date for a total of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock with registration rights.

On October 24, 2006, the Company entered into three separate consulting agreements which are intended to provide the Company with strategic financial and corporate development services. As consideration for entering into the consulting agreements, the Company has granted each consultant options to acquire up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.50 per share based upon each respective consultant meeting specific milestones set forth in the consulting agreements.

On June 2, 2006, the Company and Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. entered into an agreement (“the Agreement”), whereby the Company will, pursuant to terms and conditions of the Agreement, have access to a $10 million line of credit. As part of the Agreement, the Company is obligated to register additional shares of its common stock in order to have an adequate number of shares for issuance pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement entered into as part of the Agreement.

Our Product

Our product will be a new energy-efficient, Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (“DCGT”) for heavy-duty highway trucks. To date, we have no marketable product and will rely on Alpha to continue the development and testing of a 540 horsepower prototype that will conform to our licensed application. Since our inception, we have continued to raise capital to bring this patented technology closer to where it can be utilized in a common market. The application demanding the most change is the highway trucking market.

Alpha has completed the design and prototype of a 540 hp engine for use in highway trucks. Therefore compliance with state and federal regulators will not be a factor until we have an engineered prototype in a test vehicle. The prototype phase of development is anticipated to continue for approximately three years from the completion of the funding of a public offering. Alpha completed all research and development in 1997, which resulted in a patent being issued in 1999. Alpha has completed the design for the truck engine. We need to complete the prototype and test an engine that meets our needs using the existing proven technology; however, this takes a considerable amount of money.

Alpha will continue to develop and test a 540 horsepower DCGT highway truck engine prototype at their facilities at Deland Industrial Center, 1601 Old Daytona Street, Deland, Florida 32724. All machine work is contracted out by Alpha while all component parts are purchased off the shelf or fabricated by Alpha at their facilities. Our company will be involved in this process only to the extent that we will receive ongoing status reports of Alphas’ progress. We will not participate in the design, construction and testing of the engine. Alpha may use independent contractors as it deems necessary to complete these functions. We are completely dependent on Alpha to complete this process (see “Risk Factors”.)

The patent is a novel patent with a 20-year life from the filing date of December 16, 1997. The patent was based on research and development beginning in 1984, which included the design, construction, and testing of four working prototypes. The patent attorneys were Schoemaker & Mattare Ltd. The inventor will file additional patents to protect any new developments in the engine technology. We will have access to any new patent filings on the highway truck engines as provided for in our licensing agreement.

This patent is impossible to describe in layman terms as to how it works; however, its simplicity makes it very unique. A detonation cycle gas turbine engine includes a turbine rotor contained in a housing. The exhaust ports of respective valveless combustion chambers are located on opposite sides of the rotor directing combustion gases toward the turbine. The chambers are connected by a valveless manifold fed with fuel and oxidizer. When combustible gases are detonated by an igniter in one of the combustion chambers, the back pressure from the detonation shuts off the fuel and oxidizer flow to that chamber and redirects the fuel and oxidizer to the opposite chamber, where detonation occurs. The process repeats cyclically. Power is taken off the rotor shaft mechanically or electrically.


Table of Contents

The invention utilizes a water wheel as the turbine wheel which has blades that are positively displaced through a blade race by the rapid expansion of gases exiting from combustion chambers via nozzles, rather than pistons or gas turbines.

Our engine has a blower, rather than a compressor, to supply less air per horsepower hour than required by existing gas turbines or piston engines, thereby producing less exhaust gases per horsepower hour.

The blower supplies low pressure air via a single manifold to two combustion chambers simultaneously thereby requiring less work to complete a detonation cycle, resulting in higher thermo mechanical efficiencies than gas turbines or piston engines.

The engine manifolds, combustion chambers, and ignition system has the capability of cyclically detonating fuel-air mixtures without using valves. The engine uses a fuel pump and vaporizers to gasify wet fuels prior to mixing with combustion air in the manifolds to produce complete combustion of all fuel-air mixtures in the detonation process. The engine uses a plasma arc ignition, a visibly constant illuminating plasma flame between two electrodes to detonate fuel-air mixtures and does not require critical ignition timing.

Low pressure air and fuel mixtures are detonated instantaneously–in less than one millisecond–producing high velocity shock waves that kinetically compress inert gases resulting in higher working pressures than the pressures produced in constant pressure heating utilized in gas turbine engines, and Otto and Diesel cycle piston engines.

The detonation cycle engine uses less working fluid and produces less exhaust gas per horsepower hour than Brayton cycle turbines and Otto or Diesel cycle piston engines.

Alpha has developed four working prototypes as described below:

 

  1. First engine was developed in 1987. The engine consisted of one 8-inch diameter, 26-pound turbine wheel, driven by two horizontally opposed combustion chambers. The engine produced 78 horsepower at 12,500 rpm.

 

  2. This engine was developed in 1989. The engine consisted of two 5-inch diameter, 11-pound turbine wheels mounted on a single shaft, driven by four horizontally opposed combustion chambers. The engine produced 130 horsepower at 14,000 rpm.

 

  3. This engine was developed in 1991. The engine consisted of two 7-inch diameter, 19.6 pound turbine wheels mounted on a single shaft, driven by four horizontally opposed combustion chambers. The engine produced 256 horsepower at 8,300 rpm.

 

  4. This engine was developed in 1997. The engine consists of four 6-inch diameter, 12 pound turbine wheels mounted on a single shaft, driven by eight horizontally opposed combustion chambers. The engine produces 130 horsepower at 8,400 rpm. This engine is currently used for demonstration and can be seen by appointment.

 

  5. With current data derived from testing previous prototypes, Alpha has designed a 540 horsepower engine that can power a highway truck. Preliminary design concepts estimate the engine will have six 15-inch diameter, 20-pound turbine wheels mounted on a single shaft, driven by 12 horizontally opposed combustion chambers producing 540 horsepower at 3,000 rpm.

The DCGT includes an Electromagnetic Isothermal Combustion (“EIC”) process that powers the engine. The EIC process produces complete combustion of fuel-oxidizer mixtures in cyclic detonations that negate unwanted nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide emissions. The high pressure gases produced by the detonations drive a unique turbine producing shaft horsepower.


Table of Contents

The EIC process enables the DCGT to operate with blower air at low static pressure, negating the necessity of compressing and preheating fuel-oxidizer mixtures prior to combustion. By eliminating the compression of fuel-oxidizer mixtures, the DCGT achieves higher thermal efficiencies in a simplified mechanical structure. The DCGT has the following proprietary and competitive advantages over current diesel, gasoline and gas turbine engines:

 

   

Air cooled - less than 2 pounds per horsepower

 

   

Fewer moving parts - less maintenance

 

   

Flex-fuel and mixed fuels capability

 

   

Operates on all hydrocarbon fuels, hydrogen and syn fuels

 

   

Cold start capability with any fuels

 

   

Burns 30% less fuel “Greenhouse exhaust gases”

 

   

Less nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide exhaust emissions

 

   

Less hydrocarbon exhaust emissions

 

   

No lube oil, filters or pumps

Alpha has completed basic research, exploratory development, and advanced development with the design, construction and testing of four experimental prototype engines.

Our new energy efficient detonation cycle gas turbine can be designed and manufactured as a new or replacement engine for all heavy duty trucks that utilize engines ranging from 300 to 1,000 horsepower.

We intend to target 18 wheel class 8 vehicles commonly used for transporting goods throughout the United States for distribution of our engine. We will not require governmental approval until such time as the engine is placed in vehicles for use. Our engine will meet the new more stringent tailpipe emission requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).

Research and development of our engine was completed in 1998 with patents obtained in 1999. Through testing, we hope to be able to comply with existing and future environmental laws. We intend to supply our fuel efficient, lower emission engine to a marketplace that must comply with more stringent governmental regulations.

We acquired our license from Alpha on July 22, 2002. The material terms of the license agreement, as amended, are as follows:

 

  1. $250,000 licensing note payable August 23, 2005 or agreement is terminated

 

  2. Eight percent (8%) of net sales royalty payment after manufacturing and sales commence

 

  3. $250,000 minimum royalty payment each year after licensing note is settled

 

  4. Additional contract fees will be paid to Alpha for design and engineering services.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 125,000 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the $250,000 note payable to Alpha and the accrual of minimum royalty fees began. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has accrued $62,500 of royalty fees related to this agreement. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company paid $416,667 of royalty fees through the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock.

Other than being the licensor and a principal shareholder, we have no affiliation with Alpha.

EMPLOYEES

We presently have two full time employees. Staffing levels will be determined as we progress and grow. We also plan to add several employees to our staff. The level of employees is primarily contingent on the level of success of an offering. Our board of directors will determine the compensation of all new employees based upon job description.

Table of Contents

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements including information about possible or assumed results of our financial conditions, operations, plans, objectives and performance that involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. For example, when we indicate that we expect to increase our product sales and potentially establish additional license relationships, these are forward-looking statements. The words expect, anticipate, estimate or similar expressions are also used to indicate forward-looking statements.

Background of our company

We are a development-stage company and not yet generating any revenues. We expect to continue the commercialization of our Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (“DCGT”) technology. The licensor of the acquired technology has passed the research and development phase and has designed a working prototype. We need to redesign an engine for our application based on this proven Core Technology. We are relying on Alpha to design, construct and test a 540 horsepower engine prototype for our licnesed application (see “Business of the Company”, “Our Product.”).

The financing for our development activities to date has come from the sale of common stock. We intend to finance our future development activities and working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with additional funding from a private placement or secondary offering of up to $10 million and other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

Since we have had a limited history of operations, we anticipate that our quarterly results of operations will fluctuate significantly for the foreseeable future. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly companies commercializing new and evolving technologies such as the DCGT. In July 2002, we acquired the license for the DCGT technology for the manufacture and marketing of heavy-duty highway truck engine.

The following steps are required to demonstrate the viability of a final prototype engine:

 

Step 1    Complete the design and build prototype engine
Cost:    $75,000
Time frame:    Completed design of the prototype, 75% completion of the engine as of December 31, 2006
Step 2    Complete testing of engine
Cost:    $385,000
Time frame:    6 months from completion of Step 1
Step 3    Lease of office and demonstration facilities
Cost:    $48,000
Time frame:    New lease for office facilities initiated on January 1, 2007, leasing of demonstration facilities to be completed by March 31, 2007


Table of Contents

Step 1 of this process will be completed by Alpha in connection with performing the design and construction of the prototype engine at their facilities at Deland Industrial Center, 1601 Old Daytona Street, Deland, FL 32724. In Step 2, we will also rely on Alpha to test the prototype engine at their facilities. Alpha will conduct test demonstrations to show the viability and function of the engine. In Step 3, we intend to lease our office and demonstration facilities. We will design a facility and hire a licensed general contractor to complete the project. All of these steps are intended to be funded from the proceeds of a public offering.

These initial steps are intended to be completed with the funds from a public offering. Should we be unable to raise the funds from an offering, we may attempt a private placement or other form of debt financing which would have to be obtained in order to continue as a going concern.

For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005:

Operating Costs – During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, operating costs totaled $1,207,841 and $1,067,645, respectively. The increase of $140,196 was attributable principally to stock compensation expense for options issued to employees, directors and consultants.

Interest Expense - Net - During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 net interest expense totaled $2,176 and $1,093, respectively. The increase of $1,083 was due to finance charges on outstanding payables during 2006.

The net loss for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $(1,465,077) and $(1,068,738), respectively. The increase of $396,339 was mainly attributable to an increase in stock compensation expense and research and development costs during 2006.

Liquidity and capital resources

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and since November 27, 2000 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006, the Company has had net losses of $1,465,077, $1,068,738 and $5,838,977, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

As previously mentioned, since inception, we have financed our operations largely from the sale of common stock. From inception through December 31, 2006 we raised cash of $652,363 net of issuance costs, through private placements of common stock financings and $62,250 through the issuance of convertible notes payable. During August, 2004 our Form SB-2 Registration Statement became effective and we raised an additional $123,753 through common stock sales, and offset $41,378 of offering costs against those proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of this common stock have been used for general and administrative expenses.

As of May 25, 2005, the Form SB-2 offering has been closed and the remaining deferred offering costs of $128,115 were written off and included in the Statement of Operations. In addition, the Company was offering 16 units under a Private Placement Memorandum with an effective date of July 28, 2005. Each unit consisted of 50,000 shares of convertible stock and 50,000 stock purchase warrants for $75,000 per unit in order to raise $1,200,000 for working capital and prototype development. The preferred


Table of Contents

share would yield an annual dividened of 10% payable in either cash or stock at the Company’s discretion. As of December 31, 2005, no units were sold and the Private Placement Memorandum was terminated.

Since our inception through December 31, 2006 we have incurred approximately $5,771,336 of research and development costs and operating expenses. These expenses were principally related to the acquisition of a license agreement in July 2002 in the amount of $2,735,649, which was expensed to research and development costs for the DCGT technology and general and administrative expenses.

We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of December 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,838,977 and a working capital deficit of $461,037.

We anticipate that cash used in product development and operations, especially in the marketing, production and sale of our products, will increase significantly in the future.

We will be dependent upon our existing cash, together with anticipated net proceeds from a public offering and future debt issuances and private placements of common stock and potential license fees, to finance our planned operations through the next 12 months. We will continue to proceed in the design and testing phase of the DCGT engine during the next 12 months and will require additional funding to continue operations. Based on our anticipated growth, we plan to add several employees to our staff.

Additional capital may not be available when required or on favorable terms. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to significantly reduce or refocus our operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain or potential markets, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in ownership dilution to our existing stockholders.

The Company may receive proceeds in the future from the exercise of warrants and options outstanding as of December 31, 2006 in accordance with the following schedule:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a declining balance and straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally five to seven years. Accelerated methods are used for tax depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When furniture and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.


Table of Contents

The Company has incurred deferred offering costs in connection with raising additional capital through the sale of its common stock. These costs have been capitalized and will be charged against additional paid-in capital should common stock be issued. If there is no issuance of common stock, the costs incurred will be charged to operations.

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155. This accounting standard permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument containing an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133; establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify them as freestanding derivatives or as hybrid financial instruments containing an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument pertaining to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. We currently do not believe that SFAS No. 155 will have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, which addresses the accounting for servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective at the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. We do not expect SFAS No. 156 to have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 requires a two-step approach to determine how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements where recognition and measurement of a tax benefit must be evaluated separately. A tax benefit will be recognized only if it meets a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. For tax positions that meet this threshold, the tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48, and have not yet determined the significance of this new rule to our overall results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to materially impact its financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Current Year Misstatements.” SAB No. 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB No. 108 is effective for the Company’s 2006 annual financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have on its financial statements. The adoption of SAB No. 108 is not expected to materially impact the financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Audit Committee

Turbine Truck Engines, Inc.

    (A Development Stage Enterprise)

DeLand, Florida

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2006 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period from November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period from November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,465,077 during the year ended December 31, 2006 and has an accumulated deficit of $5,838,977 from inception to December 31, 2006. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Enterprise)

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,

and the Period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception)

through December 31, 2006

 

1. Background Information

Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. (the “Company”) is a development stage enterprise that was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 27, 2000. To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to raising capital, organizational matters, and the structuring of its business plan. The corporate headquarters is located in DeLand, Florida. The Company’s planned line of business will be the design, development, and testing of turbine truck engine technology licensed through Alpha Engines Corporation (“Alpha”). Alpha owns the patents to a new gas turbine engine system called Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine. If the Company can successfully demonstrate a highway truck engine using the technology, the Company intends to form a joint venture with a major heavy duty highway truck manufacturer to manufacture, market, and sell turbine truck engines for use in heavy duty highway trucks throughout the United States.

 

2. Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2006 and since November 27, 2000 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006, the Company has had a net loss of $1,465,077 and $5,838,977, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed are:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and payables to related parties. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value, due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of the note payable approximates its fair value due to the use of market rates of interest.

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a declining balance and straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally five to seven years. Accelerated methods are used for tax depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When furniture and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

and the Period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception)

through December 31, 2006

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets or asset groups whenever adverse events or changes in business climate indicate that the expected undiscounted future cash flows from the related assets may be less than previously anticipated. If the net book value of the related assets exceed the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets, the carrying amount would be reduced to the present value of their expected future cash flows and an impairment loss would be recognized. There have been no impairment losses in any of the periods presented.

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. The amounts charged for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 27, 2000 (date of inception) to December 31, 2006 amounted to $255,060, $0 and $2,990,709, respectively.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences associated with differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The principal types of temporary differences between assets and liabilities for financial statements and tax return purposes are set forth in Note 12.

Earnings per common share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires companies to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive options outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period from November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2006 were anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company during these periods. The diluted weighted average number of shares, including these common share equivalents would have been 12,529,075, 11,572,005 and 11,118,921 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period from November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2006, respectively.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). We adopted SFAS 123R effective beginning January 1, 2006. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) we did not issue any stock options.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), our earnings before income taxes and net earnings and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $72,765 and $.01, respectively, lower than if we had accounted for stock based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 for our stock option grants.

As of December 31, 2006, there was $620,738 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested stock options. This amount will be recognized as certain performance criteria, as stated in the option agreements, are met.

The following table represents our nonvested stock options and warrant activity for the year ended December 31, 2006:

 

    

Number of

Options/Warrants

   

Weighted Average

Grant Date

Fair Value

Nonvested options - December31, 2005

   —       $ —  
            

Nonvested options - December 31, 2006

   1,200,000     $ 0.52
            

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2006, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $.45 was $0. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.

In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of SFAS Nos. 133 and 140”. This accounting standard permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument containing an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133; establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify them as freestanding derivatives or as hybrid financial instruments containing an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and amends


Table of Contents

SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument pertaining to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. We currently do not believe that SFAS No. 155 will have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of SFAS No. 140”, which addresses the accounting and disclosure for servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective at the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. We do not expect SFAS No. 156 to have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 requires a two-step approach to determine how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements where recognition and measurement of a tax benefit must be evaluated separately. A tax benefit will be recognized only if it meets a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. For tax positions that meet this threshold, the tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48, and have not yet determined the significance of this new rule to our overall results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to materially impact its financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Current Year Misstatements.” SAB No. 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB No. 108 is effective for the Company’s 2006 annual financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have on its financial statements. The adoption of SAB No. 108 is not expected to materially impact the financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

4. Option to Acquire License

In July 2002, the Company exercised its option to obtain a license to commercially exploit certain turbine truck engine technology owned by Alpha. The original agreement required the Company to complete and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and once the public offering was filed and declared effective by the SEC, Alpha was to grant the license in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company and other licensing considerations as follows:

 

 

Licensing fee – $250,000 licensing note payable on August 23, 2005 or agreement is terminated;

 

 

Minimum royalties – $250,000 due minimum royalty payment each year once licensing note is settled;

 

 

Royalties – eight percent of net sales after manufacturing and sales commence; and

 

 

Contract fees for design and engineering services.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 125,000 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the $250,000 note and the accrual of the minimum royalty fees began. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has accrued $62,500 of royalty fees related to this agreement. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company paid $416,667 of royalty fees through the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock.

In July 2002, Alpha modified the agreement to allow the Company to acquire the license agreement in advance of completing its registration statement and accepted a note as payment for the licensing fee and for the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of common stock in lieu of the original 10,000,000 shares. The value of these shares was based on $.50 per share, which was the issuance price for common stock under the Company’s private placement offering. In August 2003 and 2004, the agreement was further amended to extend the term of the note and to establish that minimum royalty payments shall begin after the note is settled.

Alpha owns the patents to a new gas turbine engine system called Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (DCGTE). Alpha is in the business of licensing the use of its DCGTE technology for many different applications, including the manufacture of heavy duty highway truck engines. Alpha and CNF Transportation (formerly Consolidated Freightways, Inc.) have an agreement to form and finance a potential 50/50 joint venture after the demonstration of a highway truck engine for the manufacture and marketing of heavy duty highway truck engines, both for the fleet of CNF Transportation and exclusive sales to the highway trucking industry. CNF Transportation is a large, over the road freight hauling company and manufacturer of heavy duty highway trucks. Upon the receipt of its licensing agreement with Alpha, the Company has assumed Alpha’s right to enter into this joint venture.

The Company has recognized $2,735,649 of research and development expense for the acquisition of the license agreement, as the license is exclusively for the development, manufacturing and sales of the DCGTE and has no future economic benefit relative to other research and development projects.

5. Private Placement Offering

Effective August 1, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with U.S. Capital Partners, Inc. (“U.S. Capital”) to assist the Company on a “best efforts” basis in raising approximately $2 million in a private offering of a convertible debt instrument. U.S. Capital was entitled to 8% of the total proceeds raised from the sale of a equity security, 4% of the total proceeds resulting from the sale of debt of the Company and a 1% non-accountable expense allowance. Upon the first closing, U.S. Capital would also receive 2% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at a price of $.01 per share. In the event the first closing is a partial close, U.S. Capital shares will be pro-rated and held in escrow until the final closing. The Company also agreed to cause the greater of two individuals or 30% of the number of directors to be elected to the board of directors for a period of 36 months from the close of the offering. Effective November 2, 2005, the agreement with US Capital Partners, Inc. was terminated.

The Company offered 16 units under a Private Placement Memorandum with an effective date of July 28, 2005. Each unit consisted of 50,000 shares of convertible preferred stock and 50,000 stock purchase warrants for $75,000 per unit in order to raise $1,200,000 for working capital and to develop a prototype. Currently, no units have been sold. The preferred shares would yield an annual dividend of 10% payable in either cash or stock at the Company’s discretion. The Private Placement Memorandum terminated on December 31, 2005.

The fair value of each option under the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the weekly trading of the Company’s underlying common stock and other factors.

There is no current or deferred income tax expense or benefit allocated to continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005 or the period November 27, 2000 (Date of inception) through December 31, 2006.

The provision for income taxes is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The items causing this difference are as follows:

Tax expense (benefit) at U.S. statutory rate

   $ (498,100 )   $ (363,000 )

Change in valuation allowance

     462,500       401,800  
                
   $ —       $ —    
                

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2006 are as follows:

 

Deferred tax assets (liability), noncurrent:

  

Depreciation

     100

12. Income Taxes (continued)

Since management of the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not provide future benefit, the Company has established a 100 percent valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2006.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards totaling approximately $32,961 which begin expiring in 2022.

 

13. Related Party Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company signed a note payable with a related party in the amount of $15,000. The balance at December 31, 2006 is $1,901. This note payable was unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific repayment terms.

The due to related party account is made up of advances from the majority shareholder to assist the Company with its financial obligations. These advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations 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 report. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely identify, correct and disclose information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. Through the use of external consultants and the audit process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or, to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the evaluation date.
