NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation
The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
 
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and notes thereto included in the Company’s 10-K annual report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
 
Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bollente Companies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. On May 16, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Bollente, Inc.  On the date of acquisition, Bollente, Inc. was 2.78% owned and controlled 100% by Robertson J. Orr, a majority shareholder and officer and director of Bollente Companies, Inc. and the acquisition was accounted for by means of a pooling of the entities from the date of inception of Bollente Companies, Inc. on March 7, 2008 because the entities were under common control. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.

Website
The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the development of the Company’s website pursuant to ASC Topic 350.  Other costs related to the maintenance of the website are expensed as incurred.  Amortization is provided over the estimated useful lives of 3 years using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes.   The Company plans to commence amortization upon completion and release of the Company’s fully operational website.  As of September 30, 2012, the website is in the development stage.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards.  This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. 
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.

Earnings per share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earning per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earning per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior quarters’ financial statements to conform to the current quarter presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.  The Company reclassified payroll and compensation to its executive from general and administrative expense to executive compensation. The company also reclassified interest payable – related party to interest payable, as the loan holder is no longer considered a related party.

Recent pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements through October 2012 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in the development stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated revenues from operations. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its business plan and incurring start up costs and expenses. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from Inception (March 7, 2008) through the period ended September 30, 2012 of ($2,940,116). In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through debt and equity financing.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Bollente Companies, Inc. (“BOLC”) was formed as a Nevada corporation in March 2008. On September 23, 2010, BOLC changed its name from Alcantara Brands Corporation to Bollente Companies Inc. Effective May 16, 2011, BOLC completed the acquisition of Bollente, Inc (“Bollente”) through the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Bollente.

As a result of the acquisition of Bollente, BOLC is now involved in research and development of a new high quality, whole-house, electric tankless water heater that is more energy efficient than conventional products.

On February 24, 2011, Bollente accepted an assignment of an engineering services contract from Perigon Companies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is also a lender for Bollente. Perigon started to create an electric tankless water heater and the technology is in research and development. Perigon is owned and controlled by an individual who is a family member of one of the stockholders of the Company. Bollente agreed to accept the assignment for a promissory note of $500,000.  The promissory note is due on February 24, 2014 and bears interest at 5% per annum. There are quarterly interest payments of $10,000 with a balloon payment of the principal balance and any accrued interest at the maturity date. In the event of default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum. In addition, the Company agreed to acquire accounts payable related to the in-process research and development totaling $16,562.

Bollente, Inc.’s Electric Tankless Water Heaters

In December of 2009 Bollente, Inc. (“Bollente”) was formed to market and sell various green and sustainable technologies, especially consumer goods and building materials. The company has invested considerable time and resources into the development of its brand, including website development and various public relations strategies.

Bollente is committed to manufacturing and distributing a new, high-quality, highly efficient electric tankless water heater that will exceed American consumer performance expectations for large quantities of hot water and delivery of hot water at consistent temperatures with an affordable, durable and reliable design. Bollente, Inc. has several features and design innovations which are new to the electric tankless water heater market that we believe will give our products a sustainable competitive advantage over our rivals in the market.

Our tankless water heaters will be designed to provide an endless hot water supply because they are designed to heat water as it flows through the system. We believe that our products are capable of higher temperature rise than competitive units at given flow rates because of its improved design and greater efficiency. Our tankless water heaters can save energy and reduce operating costs compared to tank systems because unlike tanks, if there is no hot water demand, no energy is being used. In addition, we intend to improve life-cycle costs with an improved design conceived not only to increase efficiency, but also the longevity of our products versus competitive units. Generally, a typical tank water heater lasts about 11 years, whereas gas tankless systems may last longer, but require routine maintenance. Our product line is designed to last longer than tank water heaters without any routine maintenance required under most conditions.

Intellectual Property & Proprietary Rights

Upon completion of our brand development, we will regard substantial elements of our brands and underlying intellectual property as proprietary and attempt to protect them by relying on trademark, service mark and trade secret laws, restrictions on disclosure and transferring title and other methods.

Our plans are to actively pursue patent and trademark protection for all of newly developed products, both domestically and abroad. We have novel and proprietary technologies related to our product line and the central focus of our patent counsel has been to work with our engineers to build a defensible patent portfolio. To date, we have filed several trademark applications through our outside marketing and branding experts and have acquired several unique domain registrations reflective of our online marketing strategy. We anticipate obtaining patent and trademark protection on all of our newly developed, proprietary products. We also plan to continue protecting our intellectual property through confidentiality agreements with vendors and consultants and trade secret protocols employed by employees, consultants, and contractors.

Product Overview

Bollente is currently in a research and development phase to design a product line of tankless water heaters. The company has been strategizing a branding and marketing strategy for a tankless water heater product line since January of 2010. The whole-house and commercial series of water heaters will be marketed by the Company when the research and development is substantially completed. Management believes the company’s products will deliver increased functionality and energy efficiency to consumers, and that its products are superior to other competing products in the market, but at a lower cost to the end user. In addition, the Company has been working to identify partners in the contract manufacturing space and believes the company will enter production through one of these contract manufacturing firms in the next 12 months. There are currently several prototypes, components, and various assemblies and technologies being examined and tested by the company’s engineering consultants for use in the Company’s product lines.

Operation Plan

Our plan is to focus on continued research and development to improve the performance of our electric tankless water heater line, finishing the main elements of our branding strategy, launching a website introducing the features and benefits of tankless water heaters to the market. Subject to availability of capital and once we have substantially completed research and development of the tankless line, we will implement a marketing and sales program in order to begin filling the sales pipeline with potential customers, outside sales companies, and identify candidates within the plumbing and construction industries who will be interested in utilizing our electric tankless technology.

 
14

 


In order to increase production and increase returns for our stockholders, we will also be seeking licensing partners and private label opportunities. Depending on availability of capital, and other constraints, our goal is to increase stockholder value by acquiring stakes in companies, product licenses, and/or joint ventures which will yield additional products or services related to our tankless water heater line which we will offer to our customers or which will yield additional customers to whom we can offer our tankless water heater line.

We expect to achieve these results by:
·  
Testing new, proprietary technologies for integration into our electric tankless water heating products;
·  
Filing for patent and trademark protection for our electric tankless water heater line,
·  
Launching our product website to educate retail consumers about our products;
·  
Installing and testing prototype water heaters in the field in a variety of applications;
·  
Designing a secondary website geared towards providing service and technical guidance to industry professionals, trade persons, and wholesale sales companies on the benefits of offering our products to their customers; and,
·  
Identifying candidates in the plumbing and building industry in select markets to support our initial marketing and sales efforts.

In addition to raising additional capital we plan to begin discussions with various acquisition targets whose technologies and product offerings may augment our planned product offerings. This economic strategy may allow us to acquire or license green product lines and generally expand our existing operations.

Because of our limited operating history we have yet to generate any revenues. Our activities have been limited to raising capital, closing the recent merger, negotiating with consultants, and finalizing our consumer website design, and conducting research and testing on competitive technologies in the market place.

Our future financial results will depend primarily on: (i) our ability to raise necessary capital; (ii) obtaining required certifications to sell our products in the domestic market place; (iii) our success in obtaining patent protection for our intellectual property; and (iv) our ability to monetize our intellectual property. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these respects, or that we will be able to obtain additional funding to increase our currently limited capital resources.

Research and development expenses totaled $683 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $23,438 during the three months ended September 30, 2011.  This decrease is attributed primarily to the Company spending less towards developing its technology.

Professional fees increased $56,403 from the three months ended September 30, 2011 to the three months ended September 30, 2012.  Professional fees increased due to an increase in legal and accounting fees associated with public company filings and the amortization of the prepaid stock compensation.

General and administrative fees decreased $91,014, from the three months ended September 30, 2011 to the three months ended September 30, 2012.  This decrease was primarily due to an decrease in rent expense.

Research and development expenses totaled $3,495 during the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $30,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This decrease is attributed primarily to the Company spending less to develop its technology.

Professional fees increased $494,711 from the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The professional fees increased due to an increase in legal and accounting fees associated with public company filings and from the amortization of prepaid stock compensation.

Going Concern

The financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of the Company as a going concern.  The Company may not have a sufficient amount of cash required to pay all of the costs associated with operating and marketing of its products. Management intends to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits; however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue existence.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, we had $198 in cash, $17,418 in prepaid expenses and $40,625 in prepaid stock compensation. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this Quarterly Report. To date, we have financed our operations through the issuance of stock and borrowings.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $150,366 for the period ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $151,050 used in operating activities for the same period in 2011. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in non cash activities.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,000 for the period ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $(550) used in investing activities for the same period in 2011.

 
18

 


Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the period ended September 30, 2012 was $151,700, as compared to $165,119 for the same period of 2011. The decrease of net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to proceeds from debt financing.

As of September 30, 2012 we continue to use traditional and/or debt financing to provide the capital we need to run the business.

Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock and debt financing. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of product sales. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital. In the future we need to generate sufficient revenues from product sales in order to eliminate or reduce the need to sell additional stock or obtain additional loans. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our business plan.

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain.  Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continually develop our line of products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

This item in not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Robertson J. Orr, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.  Based on that evaluation and assessment, Mr. Orr  concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors listed in our 2011 Form 10-K on pages 8 to 12, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on April 16, 2012, are hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Stock Issuance Pursuant to Subscription Agreement

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold 50,000 shares of our restricted common stock to an accredited investor for a total purchase price of $25,000, all of which was paid in cash. The 50,000 shares of common stock were issued on August 22, 2012.

We believe that the issuance and sale of the above securities was exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) and Regulation D Rule. The securities were sold directly by us and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. The recipients of the securities were afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of the Registrant that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including the financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients, immediately prior to the sale of the securities, were accredited investors and had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment. The management of the recipients had the opportunity to speak with our management on several occasions prior to their investment decision. There were no commissions paid on the issuance and sale of the securities.
