POLY SHIELD TECHNOLOGIES INC.

(Formerly GLOBETRAC INC.)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2013

(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Poly Shield Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was in the global wireless tracking business in Europe until November 1, 2004, when it exchanged this business for a royalty of 6% on future gross sales (the “Royalty Agreement”).  The Royalty Agreement expires on October 31, 2015.


On March 12, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the rights to market the products of Teak Shield Corp. (“Teak Shield”). Teak Shield has several proprietary processes for the production of coatings used to protect surfaces from corrosion, oxidation and degradation (Note 4).  


On December 1, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Rasmus Norling (the “Vendor”), the inventor and owner of certain technology used to remove alkali metal from fuel in efforts to protect gas turbines from corrosion (Note 3).


On January 31, 2013, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Ecolutions, Inc., (“Ecolutions”) which was formed by the Vendor on November 15, 2012, for the purpose of developing and marketing environmental and pollution emission solutions internationally. As a result of the acquisition, Ecolutions became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Note 5).


On April 8, 2013, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of New World Technologies Group Inc. (“New World”) for consideration of $1. New World is in the business of marketing and installing water purification and energy recovery systems in residential buildings. At the time of the acquisition, New World had no assets or liabilities.


Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.  For further information, these unaudited financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s report on Form 10-K.


Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial position for any period presented.


Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing funds from its directors and officers, issuing promissory notes and/or a private placement of common stock.

NOTE 4 - LICENSE AGREEMENT


On March 12, 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement with Teak Shield (the “Teak Shield License”) and its owners Robert and Marion Diefendorf (the “Licensors”) whereby the Company has acquired a license to market and sell Teak Shield’s licensed products. In exchange, the Company agreed to pay a 5% royalty to the Licensors with a minimum $100,000 annual royalty payment, and agreed to issue to the Licensors 1,666,667 shares of the Company.  At September 30, 2013, the Company has accrued $145,833 in royalty payable under this agreement.


On April 13, 2012, the purchase of the Teak Shield License was completed and 1,666,667 shares with a fair value of $900,000 were issued.  As part of the agreement the Company acquired a two year option to purchase 100% of the Licensor’s ownership and interest in its proprietary rights and assets (the “Teak Shield Option”) including all licensed products, manufacturing, patents, intellectual property, technology, contracts, trademarks and goodwill for $250,000. To exercise the Teak Shield Option the Company must pay an additional $2,750,000.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute "forward-looking statements". These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions, include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under this caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

OVERVIEW


We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 2, 2000, under the original name 411 Place.com Inc.  On February 28, 2001, we changed our name to Artescope, Inc., on July 29, 2002, we changed our name to GlobeTrac Inc. and on July 11, 2012, to Poly Shield Technologies Inc. On January 31, 2013 we acquired Ecolutions, Inc. and on April 8, 2013 we acquired New World Technologies Group, Inc. Both of these companies were created, and operate as separate subsidiaries.


On July 11, 2012, we effected a consolidation of our issued and outstanding common stock on a one-for-three basis, without decreasing our authorized capital.  We currently have authorized capital of 205,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with 187,995,005 shares of Common Stock currently issued and outstanding. Our principal executive offices are headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.


We are in the business of developing and/or marketing cost effective, energy efficient and durability solutions in various industries worldwide. We currently have 3 business lines:  


1.

 Developing and marketing emission reduction technologies for the marine industry;


2.

The distribution and marketing of energy saving and water purification technologies for use in real estate applications; and


3.

The distribution of fluoropolymer coatings developed by Teak Shield Corp.


Emission Reduction Technologies


Our current business efforts are focused on the development and marketing of technologies designed to help marine vessels meet upcoming emissions standards.  Currently our main efforts are directed towards research, development and marketing of our DSOX-15 Fuel Purification System (“DSOX-15”) to various divisions of the marine industry, including, but not limited, to cruise, cargo and tanker ships. The purpose and goal of the DSOX-15 is to decrease the amount of sulfur in the fuel used by the shipping industry. In addition to developing and marketing the DSOX-15 for installation on marine vessels, we are also currently exploring the development of an onshore DSOX-15 system.

 

In addition to the DSOX-15, we hold US and European patent applications for a separate technology that we call the Bio Scrubber.  We acquired the technology for the Bio Scrubber from Rasmus Norling, currently our Chairman, Chief Technology Officer and one of our Directors. The Bio Scrubber is a patent pending system designed to significantly reduce the maintenance cost and premature failure of gas turbine engines by removing alkali metals that are usually present in fuel.




2




We also have the exclusive North American distributor rights to market and sell a system referred to as an Exhaust Scrubber. The main purpose of the Exhaust Scrubber is to remove sulfur oxides and other particulate matter from exhaust gas produced by ships during normal operations. Under the terms of our Collaboration, Master Distributorship and License Agreements with Green Tech Marine AS, a Norwegian corporation, we act as the exclusive distributor for the Exhaust Scrubber in North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico) and Singapore, and a non-exclusive distributor for the Exhaust Scrubber for the rest of the world.


New World Technologies Group, Inc,


Through our wholly owned subsidiary, New World Technologies Group, Inc. (“New World”), we are also in the business of marketing and sales of products for saving on energy consumption and for water purification, with application to high rise condominium buildings.  


Fluoropolymer Coatings


We also act as a worldwide distributor on behalf of Teak Shield Corporation for their fluoropolymer coating products. Fluoropolymers are polymer materials containing fluorine atoms in their chemical structure. The electronic structure of the fluorine atom gives these coatings chemical resistance, weather stability, low surface energy and extreme flexibility. One of the main usages for these products is in marine industry, complementing our Exhaust and Bio Scrubbers and our DSOX-15 fuel purification system.


WebTech Royalty


In addition to the technologies and business lines described above, we have a royalty agreement with WebTech Wireless Inc. (“WebTech”) under which we have a royalty right to 6% of gross qualified sales made by WebTech to qualified potential customers related to our former wireless tracking and telematics equipment business.  Our royalty agreement with WebTech is scheduled to terminate on October 31, 2015.


During the next twelve months, we plan to refine our business plan in which we anticipate expanding our presence in the marine technology market through marketing and installation of the DSOX-15 and Exhaust Scrubber.  We plan to continue and market our products and services held in New World Technologies.


Recent Corporate Developments


The following corporate developments have occurred during the period ended September 30, 2013, and up to the date of the filing of this report:

 

Issuance of shares of our common stock

 

On December 1, 2012, we consummated negotiations that began in October, 2012, in which the company agreed to issue 154,000,000 shares of our common stock at a deemed price of $0.25 per share based on fair market value equaling $38,500,000 at that time, as consideration for Mr. Norling’s employment agreement to act as Company’s Chief Executive Officer. On the date of the issuance the fair market value of our common stock was $0.53 per common share.  The stock was issued pursuant to the provisions of Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amend (the “Securities Act”), and is held in the custody of the Company, may not be sold, transferred or pledged, and is subject to forfeiture pending the satisfaction by Mr. Norling of certain performance incentives.

 

Sales Agreement with Prestige Cruise Holdings, Inc.


On August 19, 2013, we entered into a binding term sheet agreement (the “Term Sheet Agreement”) dated August 16, 2013 with Prestige Cruise Holdings, Inc. (“Prestige”) for the purchase and sale of two DSOX-15 fuel scrubber systems.    In addition, we agreed to provide Prestige with an option to purchase up to seven additional DSOX-15 fuel scrubbers at the same price. This option expires on December 31, 2014.   


Appointment of New Executive Officers and Directors


On September 9, 2013, we appointed Brad Eckenweiler as our new Chief Executive Officer, James Pakulis as our new President, and Jeffrey Buczek as our new Vice President of Engineering.  In addition, Mr. Eckenweiler, Mr. Pakulis and Mr. Buczek were also appointed to our Board of Directors.


To make room for Mr. Eckenweiler and Mr. Pakulis, Rasmus Norling voluntarily resigned as our Chief Executive Officer and President, and instead accepted appointment as our Chief Technology Officer.  Mr. Norling continues to serve on our Board of Directors.


Additional information on the appointment of Mr. Eckenweiler, Mr. Pakulis and Mr. Buczek are provided in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 13, 2013.

Revenues


Our revenue increased by $334,584 from a negative revenue of $929 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, to $333,655 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our revenue increased by $343,083 or 7,544% from $4,548 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, to $347,631 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of revenues received from WebTech for $287,631.  This included a $270,502 one-time accrual for a royalty discrepancy discovered by WebTech.  Our royalty agreement with WebTech is schedule to terminate on October 31, 2015.


We also received revenues from third party shipping companies who paid us in order to perform surveys on their respective ships for possible installations of our DSOX-15 systems, and surveys of residential buildings for installations of our water purification and energy recovery systems.  Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were negative due to an over accrual of estimated revenues in the prior quarter.


Operating Expenses


During the three months ended September 30, 2013, our operating expenses increased by $344,629 or 162.6% from $212,004 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, to $556,633 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This change was primarily caused by an increase of $90,939 in survey expenses on ships and in buildings, an increase of $55,000 in management fees, an increase of $62,411 in travel expenses, a $57,900 increase in consulting fees and a $41,628 increase in office expenses associated in part with securing new office space. These increases were associated with sales to shipping companies for surveys on their respective ships for our DSOX-15 system and for surveys of buildings for our water purification and energy recovery system product lines and the development of the Company’s business in those areas.



4




During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our operating expenses increased by $806,982 or 185% from $436,211 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, to $1,243,193 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  This change was primarily caused by an increase of $207,793 in salary and withholding taxes paid to or accrued on behalf of Rasmus Norling, currently our Chief Technology Officer, an increase in non-cash amortization expense of $87,639, recorded on our license and option rights under the Teak Shield License Agreement, an increase in travel and entertainment of $133,716, survey cost increases were $90,939, and an increase of $65,819 in consulting fees. These increases were associated with the acquisition of the rights to the Exhaust Scrubber, the Bio Scrubber, the development of the Company’s business in those areas, for costs associated with performing ship’s surveys for our DSOX-15 and for surveys of buildings for our water purification and energy recovery system product lines.


Our business efforts with respect to the Exhaust Scrubber, DSOX-15, water purification systems and energy recovery systems and fluoropolymer products are currently in the development stage, and thus, as we pursue the development of our new business, we expect our operating expenses to increase in the fiscal 2013 as compared to the prior year’s results.  In addition, because we do not have any operating history with respect to these business lines, it is difficult for us to predict future operating expenses and capital requirements related to these businesses. Our historical results are not expected to be reflective of future expenses and capital requirements.


Interest


During the three months ended September 30, 2013, our interest expenses increased by $19,199, or 59.4% from $32,325 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, to $51,524 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our interest expenses increased by $83,032, or 141.2% from $58,820 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, to $141,852 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities


Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was $255,398. This cash was primarily provided by a deposits of $1,250,000 paid for DSOX-15s, water purification systems and energy recovery systems. This was offset by our operating loss of $1,037,414.  Cash from operations was also provided by a decrease in advances receivable of $80,000 increases in accounts payable of $39,887, accrued liabilities of $79,472, and accrued interest on notes and advances payable of $141,235. These amounts were offset by an increase in our accounts receivable of $287,902, an increase in prepaids of $93,226 and an increase in due from related parties of $151,886.


During the same period we recorded non-cash items of $219,409 for amortization of equipment and the license and option to purchase the Teak Shield products and $46,500 for web site design expense, which was paid by the issuance of shares.  


Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $245,237. This cash was primarily used to cover our operating loss of $490,483. This use of cash was offset primarily by increases in due to accounts payable of $48,116 and accrued liabilities of $41,995. During the same period we recorded a non-cash item of $131,770 for amortization of equipment and the license and option to purchase the Teak Shield products.


Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities


During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received $317,600 in loans and advances from unrelated parties. In addition, we repaid $115,490 in loans and advances and we repaid $92,731 in interest. During this period we accrued $141,235 in interest on the loans and we recorded a $6,141 gain on foreign exchange in holding of Canadian dollar denominated loans.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we received $12,000 in exchange for a non-convertible note payable to a related party and $15,000 in non-interest advances from a related party.  We received $463,147 in loans from unrelated parties and 350,000 common shares at $0.30 were issued for net proceeds of $105,000 to one subscriber pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).  The subscriber represented that she was not a “US Person” as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Act.


Net Cash Used in Investing Activities


During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we purchased $14,711 in equipment used in the installation of our DSOX-15 technology.


In the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we invested $250,000 for an option to purchase the assets of Teak Shield.  This is a two year option to purchase 100% of the Licensor’s ownership and interest in its proprietary rights and assets (the “Teak Shield Option”) including all licensed products, manufacturing, patents, intellectual property, technology, contracts, trademarks and goodwill. To exercise the Teak Shield Option the Company must pay an additional $2,750,000.


Going Concern


The notes to our financial statements at September 30, 2013, disclose our uncertain ability to continue as a going concern. We were in the business of selling, marketing, distributing and installing global wireless tracking and telematics equipment in Europe until November 1, 2004, when we exchanged our rights to sell, market, distribute and install global wireless tracking and telematics equipment in Europe as well as specific assets and liabilities, for a royalty of 6% on future gross sales to qualified customers in Europe. This royalty agreement ends on November 1, 2015, which will end the revenue from this source. Our Teak Shield contract has not generated any revenue.  Our DSOX-15, Exhaust Scrubber, water purification and energy recovery products have recently begun to generate revenue.








6



We have accumulated a deficit of $3,332,427 since inception and increased sales will be required to fund and support our operations. We plan to mitigate our losses in future years by controlling our operating expenses and actively seeking contracts for our new technologies. As of the date of this report the company signed contracts to install four DSOX-15 fuel scrubbers on ships.  The agreements provide for the purchase of up to 45 additional DSOX-15 scrubbers at the same price should the purchasers wish to do so. Despite our current contracts, we cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in generating additional sales. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


None.


Critical Accounting Policies


An appreciation of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. These policies may require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. Other than our accounting for our royalty revenue, our critical accounting policies do not involve the choice between alternative methods of accounting. We have applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue is recognized when pervasive evidence of an agreement exists, when it is received or when the income is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.


Accounts Receivable


Receivables represent valid claims against debtors for sales and royalties arising on or before the balance sheet date and are reduced to their estimated net realizable value.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an assessment of the collectability of all past due accounts. At September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.


Foreign Exchange Risk


We are subject to foreign exchange risk on our royalty revenue and some purchases which are denominated in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the U.S. dollar.  Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our results of operations as exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currency result in gains and losses that are reflected in our Statement of Operations. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency-denominated transactions will result in increased net revenue. Conversely, our net revenue will decrease when the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies. We do not believe that we have any material risk due to foreign currency exchange.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We believe the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.


Concentration of Credit Risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable.


At September 30, 2013, we had $357,035 in cash on deposit with a large chartered Canadian bank and a large US bank; $21,000 of this cash was insured.  As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions.  We have not experienced any losses in cash balances and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash.




7




Accounts receivable consists of royalty and sales income and is not collateralized.  We continually monitor the financial condition of our customers to reduce the risk of loss. We routinely assess the financial strength of our source of revenue income and as a consequence, concentration of credit risk is limited. At September 30, 2013, we had $287,902 in accounts receivable outstanding.


Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements


Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to our financial statements.


Subsequent events


Subsequent to the quarter end the Company received payment on royalties from Webtech Wireless Inc. A total of $270,502 was received.  The royalties relate to sales that Webtech made under the Royalty Agreement signed in November of 2004.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


Not Applicable.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of 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 (“Exchange Act”) as of September 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.


During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.


The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These risk factors should be considered along with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because these factors could cause our actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. The following discussion is not an all-inclusive listing of risks, although we believe these are the more material risks that we face. If any of the following occur, our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively affected. We caution the reader to keep these risk factors in mind and refrain from attributing undue certainty to any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

 

We cannot guarantee that we will continue receiving royalty revenue from our agreement with WebTech Wireless (“WebTech”).


From November 2004 through the end of June 2013, our sole source of revenue was from royalties received from WebTech on the sale of global wireless tracking and telematics equipment from qualified customers. In 2012 WebTech closed their UK office and curtailed some of their European operations. Even though WebTech continues its sales in Europe through its head office based in Canada, we cannot accurately predict future revenue from our royalty agreement due to uncertainties resulting from the WebTech’s changes in operations.


We have earned limited revenues from the sale of products or services related to the Exhaust Scrubber, the DSOX-15 and our New World products.


Our current principal business focus is on the research, development and eventual sale of products and services related to the Exhaust Scrubber, the DSOX-15 technology, the Teak Shield fluoropolymer products and the New World products.  However, our efforts in these areas are in either the research or development stage and we have earned limited revenues related to these business efforts, and there is no assurance that we will be able to earn revenues from these businesses in the future.


We have only one supplier for our Exhaust Scrubbers.


Our Exhaust Scrubber is manufactured by Green Tech Marine AS (“Green Tech Marine”) and Green Tech Marine is currently our sole supplier. Until we reach Manufacturing Capability under the GTM Contracts, of which there is no assurance, we will be wholly restricted to the manufacturing capacity of our sole supplier.


Flag Ship Approval under Regulation 4 of Marpol Annex VI is made on a ship by ship basis.


The approval of an exhaust scrubber installation is made on a ship by ship basis and it is very hard to receive a Type Approval for the system prior to the installation. While our Exhaust Scrubber is the only scrubber to have received Type Approval for large gas turbine engines, we cannot guarantee that it will receive Type Approval on future installations.  Failure to receive Type Approval on future installations could have a significant material impact on the financial results of our Company.


We have only one supplier that has approval to use the formula to produce our fluoropolymer products.


The formula used to produce our fluoropolymer products is controlled by the Teak Shield Licensors and our sole supplier of our Teak Shield products is a manufacturing company owned by the Teak Shield Licensors. Since we do not own the formula, we cannot produce the products on our own. Unless we exercise the Teak Shield Option to purchase all of the Teak Shield Licensors’ proprietary rights to the Shield Products, of which there is no assurance, we will be restricted to the manufacturing capacity of our sole supplier.

We have a lack of operating history in the fluoropolymer and the scrubber industries and there is no assurance that our business efforts in these fields will be successful.


Although our Board of Directors and Executive Officers have extensive business experience, they do not have experience in the fluoropolymer industry, and aside from our Chief Technology Officer, limited experience in the scrubber industry. Some of our competitors may have greater experience and/or greater financial resources than we do at this time. We have no history of earning revenue in the fluoropolymer, as well as the Exhaust and the DSOX-15 businesses, and there is no assurance that our business efforts in these industries will prove successful.

 

Inability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our financial results.


Intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, tradenames and other forms of trade markings are important to our business. We endeavor to protect our intellectual property rights in jurisdictions in which our products are produced or used and in jurisdictions into which our products are imported. However, we may be unable to obtain protection for our intellectual property in key jurisdictions. We have designed and implemented internal controls to restrict access to and distribution of our intellectual property. Despite these precautions, our intellectual property is vulnerable to unauthorized access through numerous methods, including but not limited to employee error or actions, theft and cyber security incidents, and other security breaches.


Demand for and supply of our products and services may be adversely affected by several factors, some of which we cannot predict or control, that could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.


The demand for our products and services could be affected by several factors, including:


·

economic downturns in the markets in which we sell our products;

·

competition from other products;

·

changes in customer preferences;

·

product obsolescence or technological changes that render our products less desirable to use or more expensive to produce;

·

changes in environmental regulations that may make our products illegal to sell and distribute in their present form;

·

inability of our supplier to obtain materials used in production due to factors such as work stoppages, shortages or supplier plant shutdowns; and/or

·

our inability to supply products due to factors such as work stoppages, plant shutdowns or regulatory changes and exogenous factors, like severe weather.


If any of these events occur, the demand for and supply of our products and services could suffer, which could have a material adverse affect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.


Changes in government policies, regulations and laws could adversely affect our financial results.


We expect the majority of our future revenue to come from sales of our Exhaust Scrubber and DSOX-15 technology, which is heavily dependent on current and future IMO Regulations being enforced by international signatories to MARPOL Annex VI.  While currently, the United States, Canada and the E.U. have ECA’s in place, and sulfur oxide limit restrictions in these ECA’s are expected to drop, there can be no assurance that this will happen.  A change in the current and upcoming IMO regulations could have a significant material impact on our financial results.


Unforeseen complications during the installation of the Exhaust and DSOX-15s can potentially halt ships operation, which could adversely affect our sales, results of operations or cash flows, as well as increase potential for lawsuits filed against us.


Our Exhaust and DSOX-15s can be installed on a ship without disruption to the ship’s operations. However, if the planning and/or execution of the installation process have flaws, we can face a situation where the ship’s operation has to be halted in order to complete installation. Depending on the type of the ship and its machinery, this risk can be mitigated by scheduling the operation of a different engine. However, if the alternative engine is not available, our options will be limited and we may have to stop the operation of the ship in order to complete the installation.

Manufacturing of our polymer products are contracted out and they are subject to hazards and other risks associated with polymer production and the related storage and transportation of raw materials, products and wastes.


Polymer production is subject to the possible hazards and risks associated with the related storage and transportation of inventories and wastes, including fires, explosions, natural disasters, inclement weather, mechanical failure, unscheduled downtime, transportation interruptions, remediation, chemical spills, discharges or releases of toxic or hazardous substances or gases and other risks. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to, or destruction of, property and equipment, reduced production and environmental contamination. Accordingly, these hazards, and their consequences could have a material adverse effect on our operations as a whole, including our results of operations and cash flows, both during and after the period of operational difficulties.


Extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations impact the production of our fluoropolymer products and compliance with these regulations could adversely affect the cost of purchasing the product from our supplier.


The production of our fluoropolymer products is subject to extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations at the national, state and local governmental levels. The nature of our business exposes our supplier of fluoropolymer products to compliance costs and risks of liability under these laws and regulations due to the production, storage, transportation, recycling or disposal and/or sale of materials that can cause contamination and other harm to the environment or personal injury if they are released. Environmental compliance requirements on our suppliers may significantly increase our operating costs, which could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


We face competition from other fluoropolymer and chemical companies, which could adversely affect our sales, results of operations or cash flows.


We compete with companies that produce similar products and with companies that produce different products that are designed for the same end uses. We encounter competition based on several key criteria, including product performance and quality, product price, product availability and security of supply, responsiveness of product development in cooperation with customers and customer service.


We expect that our competitors will continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced products, which could cause a decline in the market acceptance of our products. In addition, our competitors could cause a reduction in the selling prices of some of our products as a result of intensified price competition. Competitive pressures can also result in the loss of major customers. An inability to compete successfully could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


We may also experience increased competition from companies that offer products based on alternative technologies and processes that may be more competitive or better in price or performance, causing us to lose customers and result in a decline in our sales volume and earnings.


Additionally, some of our customers may already be or may become large enough to justify developing in-house production capabilities. Any significant reduction in customer orders as a result of a shift to in-house production could adversely affect our future sales and operating prospects.


We face competition from other companies who manufacture and install exhaust scrubbers or other emission abatement solutions, which could adversely affect our sales, results of operations or cash flows.


At the moment, none of our main competitors for the Exhaust Scrubber has received a full approval (EPA, USCG, MEPC) for operation on commercial vessels. However, should these companies get the full approval or develop and introduce more enhanced technology(s), we could face a decline in the market share for our Exhaust Scrubbers.

Current and future disruptions in the global credit and financial markets could limit our access to financing, which could negatively impact our business.


Domestic and foreign credit and financial markets have experienced extreme disruption in the past three years, including volatility in security prices, diminished liquidity and credit availability, declining valuations of certain investments and significant changes in the capital and organizational structures of certain financial institutions. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the continuing disruption in the credit and financial markets or of any related adverse economic conditions. These market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to grow and maintain our business. Accordingly, we may be forced to delay raising capital, issue shorter tenors than we prefer or pay unattractive interest rates, which could increase our interest expense, decrease our profitability and significantly reduce our financial flexibility. Overall, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by the disruptions in the global credit and financial markets.


The global economic downturn may have a negative effect on our business and operations.


The global economic downturn has caused a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and lower business spending, all of which may have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Potential customers may be unable to fund purchases or may determine to reduce purchases or inventories or may cease to continue in business. In addition, our supplier may not be able to supply us with needed raw materials on a timely basis, may increase prices or go out of business, which could result in our inability to meet customer demand or could affect our gross margins.


The timing, strength or duration of any recovery in the global economic markets remains uncertain, and there can be no assurance that market conditions will improve in the near future or that our results will not continue to be materially and adversely affected. Such conditions make it very difficult to forecast operating results, make business decisions and identify and address material business risks. There can be no assurance that the economy and our operating results will continue to improve, that the economy will not experience another significant downturn. In such an event, our operating results, financial condition and business could be adversely affected.


The agreements governing our debt contain various covenants that limit our ability to take certain actions, failure to comply with which could have a material adverse effect on us.


The agreements governing our senior secured term loan contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to transfer or sell all or substantially all of our assets or make certain other restricted payments. Any future refinancing of the term loan is likely to contain similar restrictive covenants.


Our Chief Technology Officer holds approximately 82% of our common stock and will be able to exert considerable influence over our actions.


Mr. Rasmus Norling, our chairman, CTO and a director owns approximately 82% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As the Chief Technology Officer and a significant stockholder, he has the power to exert considerable influence over our actions and the outcome of matters on which our stockholders are entitled to vote including the election of directors and other significant corporate actions. The interests of Mr. Norling may be different from the interests of our shareholders.


The loss of key members of our senior management team could disrupt the management of our business.


We believe that our success depends on the continued contributions of the members of our senior management team, including Mr. Rasmus Norling, our Chief Technology Officer and principal stockholder. The loss of the services of Mr. Norling could impair our ability to identify and secure new customer contracts, to maintain good customer relationships and to otherwise manage our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and our ability to compete.

We are subject to risks associated with selling our products internationally.


Our non-domestic sales efforts are subject to varying degrees of regulation in each of the foreign jurisdictions in which we may seek to provide services. Local laws and regulations, and their interpretation and enforcement, differ significantly among those jurisdictions, and can change significantly over time. Future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes or interpretations may have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver services in foreign jurisdictions.


In addition to these international regulatory risks, some of the other risks inherent in conducting business internationally include:

  

·

economic, political and social instability;

·

currency restrictions and exchange rate fluctuations;

·

potential submission to the jurisdiction of a foreign court or arbitration panel;

·

import and export quotas;

·

longer payment cycles and problems collecting accounts receivable,

·

potential vessel seizure, terrorist attacks, piracy, kidnapping, the expropriation of assets and other governmental acts

·

pandemics or epidemics that disrupt worldwide trade or the movement of vessels;

·

additional U.S. and other regulation of non-domestic operations, including regulation under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as well as other anti-corruption laws; and

·

the imposition of unanticipated or increased taxes, increased environmental and safety regulations or other forms of public and governmental regulation that increase our operating expenses.


Many of these risks are beyond our control, and we cannot predict the nature or the likelihood of the occurrence or corresponding effect of any such events, each of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.


Our ability to pay interest on our debt and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend in part upon our future financial and operating performance and upon our ability to renew or refinance borrowings. Prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, will affect our ability to make these payments. While we believe that cash flow from our current level of operations, available cash and available borrowings will provide adequate sources of liquidity for at least the next twelve months, a significant drop in operating cash flow resulting from economic conditions, competition or other uncertainties beyond our control could create the need for alternative sources of liquidity. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations, we will have to pursue one or more alternatives, such as, reducing or delaying capital or other expenditures, refinancing debt, selling assets, or raising equity capital.


We cannot guarantee that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our term loan and revolving credit facility, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.


Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.


The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.


Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the quotation price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:



13




·

contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

·

contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;

·

contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

·

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

·

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

·

contains other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.


The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.
