NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
Organization
The Company is engaged in the development and commercialization of wind driven electrical generation. The Company’s facilities are located in North Vernon, Indiana. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of WindStream Technologies Inc. (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
On March 24, 2014, Windaus Global Energy, Inc. filed an Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Wyoming effecting a name change of Windaus Global Energy, Inc. to WindStream Technologies, Inc. (the “Name Change”). Windaus Global Energy, Inc. has notified the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) of the Name Change and a new trading symbol, “WSTI” was assigned effective March 27, 2014. The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock is 97382J102.
On October 26, 2013, the Company formed a 99.9% owned subsidiary company, in India, WindStream Energy Technologies India Private Limited, to perform various commercial activities including reselling, manufacturing, repairing, importing, exporting various types renewable energy sources including turbines, windmills, solar-wind hybrids and other devices. A Board of Directors was established consisting of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and an Indian national. In July 2014, an office had been opened, but operations had not commenced as of June 30, 2014.
In December 2013, the Company filed documents to incorporate a 100% owned subsidiary in Peru, Windstream Technologies Latin America S.A (“the Peru subsidiary”). The Peru subsidiary has appointed a temporary board of directors as required by local regulation, but the Peru subsidiary has had no operations, has entered into no contracts, opened no bank accounts and has not begun any business activity. As of June 30, 2014, operations have not yet commenced.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of WindStream Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K originally filed with the SEC on April 11, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2013 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the Company’s financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
F-4 |
Consolidations
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WindStream Technologies, Inc., WindStream Energy Technologies India Private Limited and Windstream Technologies Latin America S. A. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company sells primarily to companies and governmental entities across the globe. Receivables arising from those sales domestically are not collateralized; however, credit risk is minimized by continuing to diversify the customer base. International sales typically take place under the auspices of the Export Import Bank, a U.S. government entity, and are guaranteed by that entity under the terms of an insurance policy with a limit of $4 million. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of the specific customers, historical trends and other information.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, two and four customers represented 93% and 94% of outstanding accounts receivable balances, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, one customer represented approximately 92% and 98% of revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, one and two customers represented approximately 93% and 87% of revenue, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, three vendors represented approximately 50% and 57% of total cost of goods sold, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, three vendors represented approximately 41% and 55% of total cost of goods sold, respectively.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $12,540,000 and $10,481,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and has a history of recurring net losses and working capital deficits. These matters among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
While the Company is attempting to increase operations and generate additional revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. The Company will continue to pursue additional equity and/or debt financing while managing cash flows from operations in an effort to provide funds to meet its obligations on a timely basis and to support future business development. There is no assurance that these efforts will be successful. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate additional revenues and in its ability to raise the additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plans and generate additional revenues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Segment Information
The Company operates in two segments in accordance with accounting guidance FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker as defined by FASB ASC Topic 280. See additional discussion at Note 15.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In connection with this transaction, a major shareholder and a related party (the “Pledgor”) signed a pledge and security agreement, which grants a security interest in one million shares of the Company’s common stock owned by the Pledgor.
The Company evaluated the embedded conversion features within the convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that neither the embedded conversion feature nor the warrants qualified for derivative accounting. Additionally, the instruments were evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features. It was concluded that a beneficial conversion feature existed for the convertible debt due to the relative fair value of the warrants issued with the debt.
The total debt discount recorded on the note with the June 1, 2013 date of issuance was $528,058 (warrant relative fair value of approximately $253,000 and the beneficial conversion feature was approximately $275,000) which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note).
The total debt discount recorded on the note with the June 1, 2014 date of issuance was $400,000 (warrant relative fair value of approximately $42,000 and the beneficial conversion feature was approximately $358,000) which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note). The warrant and beneficial conversion feature was recorded as additional paid in capital.
The unamortized debt discount balance at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $386,000 and $220,000, respectively and is being netted against the total convertible promissory notes principal amount of $750,000 and $550,000, respectively, for presentation in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company has amortized approximately $158,000 (including approximately $32,000 of debt discount related to notes converted to common stock, see below) and $42,000 in 2013 to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company amortized approximately $234,000 (including approximately $64,000 of debt discount related to notes converted to common stock, see below) in 2014 and $42,000 in 2013 to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In connection with one of the five June 2013 debt issuances, the company paid finder’s fees of approximately $42,000 as well as 140,000 common stock warrants at $0.05 per share. The warrants vest immediately and have a three years term. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be approximately $48,000 based on the Black Scholes option pricing model using the same assumption as those used for the warrants above, except the exercise price was $0.05 per share. The combined value of the warrants and cash amounted to approximately $90,000, which was capitalized as a deferred financing cost and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes.
In June 2014, holders of the warrants discussed above exercised warrants, on a cashless exercise basis pursuant to the agreement and the Company issued approximately 136,000 shares of common stock in a non-cash transaction.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the deferred financing costs had an unamortized balance of approximately of $14,321 and $37,529, respectively.
Amortization of deferred financing costs, which has been included interest expense, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, was approximately $7,500 plus approximately $8,000 for the write off of the deferred financing costs associated with the conversion of the warrants discussed above and $23,000 in 2014 and $7,500 and $15,000 in 2013, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, four investors converted their notes payable of $200,000 (plus approximately $7,500 in accrued interest) in aggregate into shares of common stock at the conversion price of $0.25 per share resulting in the Company issuing 829,689 shares of common stock to these four investors and amortized approximately $64,000 of the remaining debt discount associated with these notes immediately to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Interest expense for the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $32,000 and $63,000 and $0 and $0, respectively.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal
The Company is currently engaged in two cases, which are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operations. The first is a case between WindStream and a prior vendor that, at one time, supplied components for the Company’s products. As a result of this vendor’s disruption in the Company’s supply chain the Company has sought out and secured other, more reliable sources for the needed raw materials and has not seen a disruption in its final product output. The second case is a Trademark infringement issue that relates to the Company name, WindStream Technologies and prior use. Both of these cases are being, litigated by the Company’s attorneys and expect to be concluded shortly. While incapable of estimation, in the opinion of management, the individual regulatory and legal matters in which it might involve in the future are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Leases
The Company leased various facilities under a non-cancelable operating lease, which expired on September 30, 2013. The current minimum monthly rental payment is $4,750 plus various expenses incidental to use of the property. The Company has an option to extend the lease for one twelve month period at slightly higher monthly rent. The Company is currently in discussions with the landlord regarding a potential extension or amendment to the existing lease, but nothing has been drafted or formalized at this point in time.
The Company also leased a research facility in New Albany, Indiana under a sixty-five month lease that was to expire on March 30, 2015. The Company evaluated the lease under FASB ASC 840-20 “Operating Leases” and notes that the lease qualifies as an escalating lease. Therefore, rent expense was calculated on a straight-line basis, and was determined to be $3,124 per month. In May 2013, the landlord terminated the lease and the company moved out of the related space. All past and future rent unpaid obligations under the lease were forgiven. The Company’s deferred rent liability at June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0 and $0, respectively.
Rent expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $18,219 and $37,467 in 2014 and $13,530 and $51,562 in 2013, respectively.
Sales
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company received two signed purchase orders from one customer, Jamaica’s National Utility company, Jamaica Public Service Co., for the delivery of the Company’s clean energy products as well as related energy storage, back-up emergency power equipment and custom energy monitoring, data collection and system analysis over the next eighteen to twenty four months. The purchase orders contain the Company’s customary terms regarding payment terms, return of products and return of products and are consistent with the Company’s terms with other customers.
Sales and Distribution Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into sales and distribution agreements with various parties in defined geographic areas around the world. The agreements are usually non-exclusive and contain general commercial terms, but no specific financial terms. It is the Company’s practice that such agreements do not contain performance related terms or favorable payment terms. These agreements are usually cancellable with written notice by either party and do not have terms greater than one year.
F-13 |
Investment Advisory Services
On April 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment banking firm which will provide advisory services in the area of corporate development, corporate finance and/or capital placement transactions. The agreement will expire twenty four months from the date the agreement was signed or the mutual written agreement of the Company and the investment banker. The Agreement specifies that all fees be on a “success” basis. If no debt or equity transaction is completed, the Company has no obligation under the terms of this agreement.
In the event of a successful transaction, the investment banking firm will earn fees based on a percentage of the aggregate consideration for an equity transaction as follows:
● | 5% for Aggregate Consideration of less than USD $10,000,000, plus, | |
● | 4% For Aggregate Consideration between USD $10,000,001 and USD $25,000,000, plus | |
● | 3% For Aggregate Consideration between USD $25,000,001 and USD $50,000,000, plus | |
● | 2% For Aggregate Consideration between USD $50,000,001 and USD $75,000,000, plus | |
● | 1% For Aggregate Consideration above USD $75,000,001. |
To date, no transaction has been consummated.
NOTE 14 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator denominator of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) computations.
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares are dilutive.
As the Company has net losses, the Company had no potential dilutive securities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, as they would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, there is no difference in the basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per share.

NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES
The Company files federal and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method in accordance with FASB ASC 740 under which deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are measured using provisions of currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be fully realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the benefit of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized in future periods. Tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income taxes in the year in which the credit originates. The Company does not expect any significant unrecognized tax benefits to arise over the next twelve months and is fully reserved.
The Company’s provision for income taxes for continuing operations in interim periods is computed by applying its estimated annual effective rate against its loss before income tax (expense) benefit for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items are recorded during the period in which they occur. The effective tax rate for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was nil.
The Company has not had to accrue any interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits. However, when or if the situation occurs, the Company will recognize interest and penalties within the income tax expense (benefit) line in the accompanying Condensed Statements of Operations and within the related tax liability line in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company entered into subscription agreements with accredited investors for the issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.40 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $100,000. ..

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by WindStream Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) from time to time with the SEC (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company’s business, industry, and the Company’s operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Basis of Presentation
The following management’s discussion and analysis is intended to provide additional information regarding the significant changes and trends which influenced our financial performance for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
The comparability of our financial information is affected by our acquisition of WindStream in May of 2013. For further discussion of the acquisition see note 1 of the financial statements.
Overview
WindStream has designed and manufactures a patented small-wind (the TurboMill®) and hybrid (wind and solar) (the SolarMill®) renewable energy device that is suitable for on or off grid installations in the urban or rural setting. The Company operates out of its 50,000 sq. ft. facility in North Vernon, Indiana. It has secured an Export Insurance Policy from the Export Import Bank of the United States, (EXIM) allowing it to offer financing terms to its overseas buyers. The company is actively marketing and selling its products to customers all over the world.
3 |
Plan of Operations
WindStream has identified 2 significant markets for the sale of its products in the near term:
1. | Areas of the world where energy is inconsistent or non-existent (e.g., India, Africa, South Asia, Latin America and Asia) | |
2. | Areas of the world where energy costs are high, which includes Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean, South Asia and Europe. In many cases, available energy in a given region may be generated by running diesel generators in which case the displaced cost of energy include the upfront cost of the equipment as the ongoing operating cost of the generator and fuel. |
These two drivers present a large percentage of the world’s population and as such, the Company is finding great success in penetrating these markets with its highly efficient, low cost devices. The Company has entered into various distribution partnerships with key companies and individuals in these markets in order to more quickly establish a presence and generate revenue from these territories and the Company will continue to use these types of arrangements to expand.
Revenues
We generate substantially all of our net sales from the sale of small wind and hybrid products, the TurboMill and SolarMill respectively. The Company is primarily selling the SolarMill to its customers who are looking for a more consistent energy generation device.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales includes the cost of raw material and components such as stamped metal parts contained in the turbine blades and generator housings, injection molded components, electronic circuitry, and other components. Other items contributing to our cost of sales are the direct assembly labor and manufactured overhead from our component suppliers. Overall, we currently expect our cost of sales per unit to decrease as we ramp production lots in the future to meet the product demands from our customers.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is affected by numerous factors, including our average selling prices, distributor discounts, foreign exchange rates, and our manufacturing costs. Another factor impacting gross profits is the ramp of production going forward. As a result of the above, gross profits may vary from quarter to quarter and year to year.
Research and Development.
Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs and the cost of products, materials and outside services used in our process and product research and development activities.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, professional fees, insurance costs, travel expense, other selling expenses as well as share based compensation expense relating to stock options. We expect these expenses to increase in the near term, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales, in order to support the growth of our business as we expand our sales and marketing efforts, improve our information processes and systems and implement the financial reporting, compliance and other infrastructure required by a public company. Over time, we expect selling, general and administrative expense to decline as a percentage of net sales as our net sales increase.

WindStream sells its products through distribution channels to reduce the direct sales cost incurred by the Company. In recent months, the Company has signed distribution agreements with Jamaica’s national utility company, Jamaica Public Service, (JPS) for Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean. In Malaysia, the Company has signed a distribution agreement with MY Windstream Energy, Sdn Bhd. In Africa, several agreements have been signed with the following distributors for sales throughout Africa: Suka Wind & Solar Ltd. in Ghana, one of the countries largest solar installers, Senan Liberia, Inc. in Liberia, Africa Energy Limited in Kenya and Viza Networks Limited Tanzania. In Turkey, the distributor is Meytek Group, a large installer of solar systems, and Key City Trading in the Netherlands and B.E.S.T. Ltd. in New Zealand. These are all non-exclusive agreements giving the distributor the right to sell the Company’s products and see in-market success prior to entering into exclusive sales agreements with success-based milestones.
While limiting the cost of sales by WindStream based sales staff there are costs involved in setting up these distribution agreements primarily in travel to vet the distributor and their capabilities. WindStream does require that the Distributor does attend training in the North Vernon facility for assembly and installation of the Company’s products.
Other Expenses
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, is incurred on various debt financings as well as the amount recorded for the derivative liability associated with convertible notes and warrants. Any interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities is netted in other expenses, as it is immaterial.
Use of Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, marketable securities valuation, derivative financial instrument valuation, end-of-life collection and recycling, contingencies and litigation and share based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $1,267,253 and $2,018,001, respectively. The change in net loss between the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was primarily attributable to a slightly higher level of sales during a period of greater manufacturing activities, and thus greater costs, as well as increases in such expenses as wages and salaries, professional fees, product development and travel and entertainment expenses associated with the Company’s efforts to increase sales and improve production processes in 2014. The three months ended 2013 included $1.5 million in stock based compensation paid to several outside parties. There was no such transaction in 2014.
Sales - Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014, were $214,363, compared to $198,874 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in sales is due to the efforts of the Company’s sales force in this quarter to focus on international customers.
Gross Profit/(Loss) - During the three months ended June 30, 2014, our gross loss as a percentage of sales was 27.9%, compared to a gross loss as a percentage of sales of 2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to increased manufacturing costs, labor and overheads, during a period of lower sales. The Company has a positive gross margin on the cost of materials only compared to sales.
Operating Expenses –
Research and Development - Research and Development for the three months ended June 30, 2014, were $13,878, as compared to $177,375 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The change is primarily attributable to the decrease of development activities as the Company concentrates on increasing sales of the Company’s existing products.
Write down of Inventory - During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company evaluated its inventory and wrote down inventory by approximately $111,000, which has been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. There was no such writedown in 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses - General and Administrative for the three months ended June 30, 2014, were $831,689, as compared to $1,744,167 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The three months ended June 30, 2013 included $1.5 million in stock based compensation paid to several outside parties. There was no such transaction in 2014. The increase, that is the change in expenses without the stock compensation expense in 2013, is attributable to the increases in such expenses as wages and salaries, professional fees, marketing, product development and travel and entertainment expenses associated with the Company’s efforts to increase sales and improve production processes in 2014.
Total Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $956,567, as compared to $1,921,542 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
We anticipate that as our operations increase our research and development expenses may increase because we believe that maintaining state of the art products is a key to our continued success, however, we believe that such expenses will constitute a lower percentage of our operating budget as much of our initial development efforts have been completed. We expect to achieve economies of scale in our general and administrative expenses as our operations increase as much our administrative expenses are fixed costs, such as salaries of key personnel and rent. As a result, while we may need to hire additional personnel as operations increase, we believe that the increases in general and administrative expenses will be at a lower rate than the increase in revenues.
Other Income (Expense) - Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was ($250,866), as compared to ($92,470) for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to the amortization of the debt discount and the amortization of deferred financing costs, totaling approximately $158,000, which are included in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014, but started during the second quarter of 2013 and increased borrowings, and related interest costs, under the Company’s line of credit with the Export Import Bank in 2013 which started towards the end of the first quarter of 2013.

Sales - Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014, in the domestic segment were $0, compared to $3,104 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The absence of domestic sales is due to the success of the Company’s efforts to obtain additional international customers in 2014 and 2013.

As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $1,267,353 and $2,018,001, respectively. The change in net loss between the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was attributable to lower gross margin dollars on sales, the write down of obsolete inventory and increases in general and administrative expenses due to increased efforts to increase sales. The three months ended June 30, 2013 included $1.5 million in stock based compensation paid to several outside parties. There was no such transaction in 2014.

In its audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company was issued an opinion by its auditors that raised substantial doubt about the ability of to continue as a going concern based on the Company’s current financial position. The Company’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability and a positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop and market our products and our ability to generate revenues.
The following table provides selected financial data about the Company as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. For detailed financial information, see the accompanying financial statements.

As of June 30, 2014, we had negative working capital of $1,992,423, which was an increase as compared to negative working capital of $1,396,670 as of December 31, 2013. The increase was due primarily to an increase of debt.
The Company’s working capital revolving line of credit with a bank was extended loan for another twelve months at substantially the same terms but with an increase in the current credit limit from $950,000 to $2,000,000. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $946,490, which has been included in the short term debt – third parties in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

One investor also received warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $0.80 per share. The warrants vested immediately and have a term of three years.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1,419,554 and $557,967 respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily related to the sale of products in the first full year of the Company’s sales activities and the associated increases in related working capital.
Net cash in all investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0 and $531 respectively. Company purchased machinery and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Net cash obtained through all financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1,741,790 and $607,500 respectively. The Company received proceeds from borrowings on the line of credit, short term debt and short term debt from related parties, the proceeds from issuance of convertible debt and the issuance of common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and borrowings on the line of credit, proceeds from convertible debt and short term debt from related parties in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The estimated working capital requirement for the next 12 months is $1,000,000 with an estimated burn rate of $100,000 per month. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had cash of $525,770 at June 30, 2014.
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.
The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future if it does not receive the anticipated additional funding. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In that event, the Company would be required to change its growth strategy and seek funding on that basis.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
11 |
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WindStream Technologies, Inc. and its two subsidiaries, Windstream Energy Technologies India Private Limited and Windstream Technologies Latin America S.A. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents pertaining to the convertible debt, options, warrants and convertible preferred shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Stock Based Payments
We account for share-based awards to employees in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”. Under this guidance, stock compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the estimated service period (generally the vesting period) on the straight-line attribute method. Share-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Equity”, wherein such awards are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs associated with the issuance of debt is capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related debt. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, unamortized deferred financing costs incurred totaled $14,321 and $37,529, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs, which has been included interest expense, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, was approximately $15,000 and $23,000 in 2014 and approximately $7,500 and $15,000 in 2013.
12 |
Research and Development
Costs incurred in developing the ability to create and manufacture products for sale are included in research and development. Once a product is commercially feasible and starts to sell to third party customers, the classification of such costs as development costs stops and such costs are recorded as costs of production, which is included in cost of goods sold. Research and development costs are expensed when incurred.
Related parties
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party, which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements:
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Pursuant to Rule 13a- 15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits 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 the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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.
The Company is currently engaged in two cases, which do not have a material effect on the Company’s operations. The first is a case between WindStream and a prior vendor that, at one time, supplied components for the Company’s products. As a result of this vendor’s disruption in the Company’s supply chain, the Company has sought out and secured other, more reliable sources of the needed raw materials and has not seen a disruption in its final product output. The second case is a Trademark infringement issue that relates to the Company name, WindStream Technologies and prior use. Both of these cases are being litigated by the Company’s attorneys and are expected to be concluded shortly.
We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 10K, filed with the SEC on April 11, 2014.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we have issued the following securities, which were not registered under the Securities Act.
