Item 1.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our financial statements at the end of this Interim Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in this Semi-Annual Report and other reports filed by the Company.

 

HyGen Industries, Inc. ("HyGen," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") is a California corporation formed in August 2014 initially to develop and build, in co-operation with the California Energy Commission ("CEC"), renewable hydrogen fueling stations as part of the State of California's Advanced Clean Car ("ACC") program.  With the signing into law of Assembly Bill ("AB 8"), the State of California has guaranteed to provide sufficient hydrogen infrastructure to accommodate the 2015 roll-out of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles ("FCEV").  AB 8 expands on the Zero Emission Vehicle ("ZEV") Action Plan which the Governor's Office released in February 2013.

 

California's hydrogen infrastructure program proposes $20M in annual funding for hydrogen stations through 2020.  HyGen secured a three station award from Program Opportunity Notice-13-607 ("PON-13-607") in November 2013.  We intend to participate in all future Program Opportunity Notices ("PONs") and plan to leverage knowledge, gained from our successful proposal, to obtain additional grants whenever the opportunity arises.

 

Under the terms of HyGen's PON-13-607 award, the CEC authorized the grant of up to $5.3M in funding toward the cost of three renewable hydrogen fueling stations in Orange, Pacific Palisades and Rohnert Park and up to $100,000 per annum per station for operation and maintenance costs for three years.  Our actual construction grant was reduced by approximately $56,800 to $5,250,000 since our stations were not operational by October 31, 2015.  Because our stations were not operational by October 31, 2016, our annual grant for operation and maintenance costs is zero.  The proposed station in Pacific Palisades was replaced by one in North Hollywood, California, with the CEC's approval.  We believe that the CEC funding will allow us to establish our brand of clean renewable hydrogen with less financial risk to us and our investors.  If FCEVs achieve market acceptance, we believe we will be able to access capital markets and deploy second generation systems to meet anticipated increased demand for hydrogen fuel.

 

On November 16, 2016, the Company received a notice of stop work order from the CEC relating to Agreement Number ARV-14-11 for the Rohnert Park, Orange and North Hollywood Hydrogen Refueling Stations Project. The correspondence notifies the Company that until it obtains its own match share funding needed to construct and complete the hydrogen refueling stations, the CEC will not reimburse the Company for any further work until the stop work order is lifted.  The Company may, however, continue working on the project by spending its own match funds (if and when it has such funds) while the stop work order is in effect.  Accordingly, the Company may use the proceeds of its planned offering pursuant to Regulation A (Tier 2) of Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Regulation A+ Offering"), to continue making progress on its stations.  This stop work order provides HyGen time to secure match share funding needed to construct and complete the hydrogen refueling stations.

 

The CEC indicates that it will consider lifting the stop work order, in whole or in part, when:

 

1.             HyGen secures and adequately documents to the satisfaction of CEC staff the availability of match share funding necessary to complete one or more hydrogen refueling stations under the agreement; and

 

2.             HyGen documents to the satisfaction of CEC staff that all expenditures reimbursed to date have been used to pay costs covered by the reimbursement requests under agreement ARV-14-011.

 

Concurrent with the stop work order, the CEC is providing HyGen a 23-month no-cost time extension to provide HyGen the opportunity to secure the additional match share funding and construct the hydrogen refueling stations.  On November 18, 2016, the Company received the Extension Agreement from the CEC, which it signed and returned to the CEC.  The amount of the grant was not changed.

 

-2-



 

The primary sources of revenue for HyGen during the CEC pilot program are expected to be state contributions to the construction of hydrogen stations and the proceeds earned from the sale of hydrogen fuel for FCEVs.  Management also believes that revenue can be earned from the provision of consulting services to other renewable hydrogen fuel industry participants.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

 

Revenue. Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $0, compared to $125,806 for the six months ended December 31, 2015.  Revenue in the 2015 period was comprised of reimbursement to us by the CEC of operating expenses directly related to the construction of hydrogen fueling stations obtained through the CEC from PON-13-607.  Revenue decreased in 2016 due to the stop work order from the CEC.  Revenues will not commence again until the Company can obtain match funding as required by the PON-13-607 grant.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $222,360, compared to $300,393 for the six months ended December 31, 2015.  Operating expenses in 2015 and 2016 were comprised of accounting fees, legal fees and other administrative costs incurred to operate the business.  The reduction from 2015 was primarily due to the slowdown in service provider services related to the stop work order from the CEC, net of increased marketing costs related to the Company's testing-the-waters campaign and planned Regulation A+ Offering.

 

Net Loss. Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $223,360 and $175,201, respectively.  Increased net loss in 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to lack of revenues the 2016 period, net of reduced costs, as further described above. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had net cash of $14,306 at December 31, 2016 and $12,621 at June 30, 2016, primarily from the retention of subcontractor and vendor invoices and the retention of officers' remuneration.

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had net positive cash from operating actives of $18,130 and $93,938, respectively.  The positive cash flows from operations were primarily a result of losses incurred, net of receivables collected during the periods, and the increase in payables.

 

Cash used for investing activities was $0 during the six months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $192,183 during the six months ended December 31, 2015.  The reduction in usage of cash for investing activities relates to the stop work order in 2016 so that the Company did not expend cash or receive any cash reimbursements for construction in progress.  During the 2015 period, the Company used match funds to purchase equipment for construction-in-progress and received reimbursements from the PON-13-607 grant.

 

Cash used in financing activities was $16,445 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $22,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2015.  We used cash during the six months ended December 31, 2016 toward deferred financing costs related to our planned Regulation A+ Offering.  We received cash during the six months ended December 31, 2015 from related party advances and proceeds from a convertible note.

 

We will have additional capital requirements during 2017and 2018.  We do not expect to be able to satisfy our cash requirements through sales, and therefore we will attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock.  On March 22, 2017, we were declared qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission to conduct an offering of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock at $5.00 per share under Regulation A+ (Tier 2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  As of March 30, 2017, we had not yet raised any capital in our Regulation A+ Offering, which is scheduled to commence in April 2017 and terminate on December 31, 2017, unless extended by us for up to an additional 45 days.  There is no assurance that the Company will raise any capital from its Regulation A+ Offering or otherwise.

 

-3-



 

We cannot assure that we will have sufficient capital to finance our growth and business operations or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to us or at all.  We are currently incurring operating deficits that are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.  In the absence of additional working capital other than contributions of capital by the current shareholders of the Company, if any, we do not expect to be able to operate at current levels for more than sixty (60) days.

 

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

 

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations.  The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies.  In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application.  The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.  Note that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenues from 1) sales of hydrogen from its fueling stations when (a) persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (b) the products have been delivered; (c) the prices are fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and (d) collection of the amounts due is reasonably assured.

 

As discussed in Note 3 of the financial statements, the Company received a grant from the CEC. The PON-13-607 grant generally provides for payment in connection with related development and construction costs involving the procurement and installation of hydrogen fueling stations. Grant award reimbursements were recorded as either contra assets or as revenues depending upon whether the reimbursement is for capitalized costs or operating expenses incurred by the Company. Contra capitalized cost and revenues from the grant were recognized in the period during which the conditions under the grant had been met and the Company had incurred cost for the related asset or expense.

HYGEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

HyGen Industries, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 13, 2014 in the State of California. The Company's headquarters are located in Los Angeles, California.  The Company is in the process of developing hydrogen fueling stations where it will sell hydrogen fuel produced from renewable resources.  The financial statements of HyGen Industries, Inc. (which may be referred to as "HyGen," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

On August 29, 2014, , the California Energy Commission ("CEC") awarded the Company a grant ("CEC Grant") under the CEC's Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program to design, install, and operate three hydrogen fueling stations at select locations in California.  The budget for the installation of the three fueling stations totals $9,765,678, of which up to $5,306,814 will be reimbursed by the CEC for qualified costs, if the Company meets all required deadlines, and $4,458,864 will be the responsibility of the Company's match portion.  The Company's match portion can be from money raised or in-kind contributions.  If the Company does not meet all required deadlines, its reimbursement will be reduced by up to 15%, which the Company will have to cover with working capital.  See Note 3 for additional information.

The Company operates in a rapidly changing technological market and its activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to expand beyond the Company's current development.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited interim financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2016. The results of operations for the six-months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, recoverability of construction in-progress, and long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.  It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are

-8-



HYGEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 

- Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 

- Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 

- Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Fair-value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2016. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, retainage payable, and amounts due from related parties and affiliates. Fair values for these items were assumed to approximate carrying values because of their short term in nature or they are payable on demand.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common shares available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, except for periods for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 10,000 warrants and convertible debt disclosed in Note 6 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effects would be anti-dilutive for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

 

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue from the operation of hydrogen fueling stations to date.  The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with governmental policy decisions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions, including recession, downturn or otherwise, or government budget cuts could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

In addition, the Company will contend with other companies that are competing for the same state government grants.  Other companies may have a competitive advantage, both in size and resources. 

The hydrogen infrastructure industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology.  As a result, the Company's products, services, and/or expertise may become obsolete and/or uneconomic. The Company's future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer and market demands, and enhance our current products and services.  

Further, the Company's products and services must remain competitive with those of other industries which may have substantially greater resources, particularly the gasoline industry.  Currently, gasoline prices are at near record lows and our product is unable to compete with gasoline based on price alone.  Our expectation is

-9-



HYGEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

that gasoline prices will increase and our cost of producing hydrogen will decrease as more hydrogen fueling stations are installed.  In the interim, we are dependent on attracting customers that are not basing their purchasing decisions on price alone.

 

Going Concern

We rely heavily on the CEC Grant for reimbursement of costs for the installation of the hydrogen fueling stations and operating capital.  In addition, the Company did not complete the installation of the three hydrogen fueling stations by October 31, 2015, which has affected, and could further affect the level of funding available under the CEC Grant, as described in Note 3.  As of December 31, 2016, we had negative working capital of approximately $1,154,000 and will incur additional costs prior to receiving reimbursement from the CEC.  These above matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  During the next 12 months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding still available from the CEC Grant and from the proceeds of an anticipated debt and/or equity funding, including but not limited to the Regulation A Tier II offering being proposed.  If we cannot raise additional short term capital, we may consume all of our cash reserved for operations.  There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of reimbursements from the CEC Grant. The Company's fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. The Company has been capitalizing costs in connection with the CEC Grant which had related reimbursements. The reimbursable portion was treated as a reduction of the capitalizable costs incurred. Since the beginning of the CEC grant, the Company incurred $3,186,140 of capitalizable costs with $2,562,606 reimbursed by the CEC for net capitalized property and equipment of $623,534.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenues from 1) sales of hydrogen from its fueling stations when (a) persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (b) the products have been delivered; (c) the prices are fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and (d) collection of the amounts due is reasonably assured.

As discussed in Note 3, the Company received a grant from the CEC. The CEC Grant generally provides for payment in connection with related development and construction costs involving the procurement and installation of hydrogen fueling stations. Grant award reimbursements were recorded as either contra assets or as revenues depending upon whether the reimbursement is for capitalized costs or operating expenses incurred by the Company. Contra capitalized costs and recorded revenues from the grant were recognized in the period during which the conditions under the grant had been met and the Company had incurred the cost for the related asset or expense.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America which it believes to be credit worthy.  Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  At times, the Company maintains balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

 

Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2016 was 100% from the CEC Grant.  Revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was 100% from the CEC grant.  There was no revenue or accounts receivable as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2016.  Management believes the loss of the CEC Grant will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company is currently investigating other sources of funding.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

As of December 31, 2016, three vendors made up 27%, 20%, and 13% of the Company's accounts payable. As of June 30, 2016, two vendors made up 13% and 28% of the Company's accounts payable.  The loss of these vendors may have a negative impact on the procurement of equipment and/or services for our projects.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issues Accounting Standard Updates ("ASU") to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC.  The Company believes those issued to date and not disclosed either (i) provided supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.  

NOTE 3 - DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT

On August 29, 2014 the Company was awarded the CEC Grant to design, install, and operate three hydrogen fueling stations at select locations in California.  The grant budgets for total costs of $9,765,678, of which up to $5,306,814 will be reimbursed by the CEC for qualified costs, if the Company meets all required deadlines, and $4,458,864 will be the responsibility of the Company's match portion.  The Company's match portion can be from money raised or in-kind contributions.  If the Company does not meet all required deadlines, its reimbursement will be reduced by up to 15%, which the Company will have to cover with working capital.  Because our fueling stations have not yet commenced operations, we lost approximately $56,800 of the construction grant, reducing our construction grant to approximately $5,250,000. 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company has applied for $2,903,628 in reimbursements from the CEC.  The Company has provided matching funds and/or in-kind contributions of $1,611,782.

In-kind contributions include discounted payments to contractors, discounts provided by major equipment vendors, and an overhead allowance provided by the CEC based on eligible reimbursable costs.  In-kind discounts from significant equipment vendors, services providers, and overhead allocations have no effect on the financial statements but are included in invoices sent to the CEC as in-kind contributions for tracking purposes.  In-kind contributions related to services from shareholders are recognized as described in Note 8.

The property and equipment used for the fueling stations is the property of the Company, but is held as collateral by the CEC if the Company is unable to fulfill its obligations under the CEC Grant.  If this occurs, the Company would forfeit any rights to the property and equipment and ultimate disposition of the fueling stations would be to the decision of the CEC.

On November 16, 2016, the Company received a notice from the CEC that no additional reimbursements will be provided until the Company can secure sufficient funding for the required match share necessary to complete one or more of the fueling stations. To provide the Company the opportunity to secure the additional match share funding and to complete construction, the notice also granted the Company a 23-month time extension, extending the term of grant through November 30, 2018.

NOTE 4 - RETAINAGE PAYABLE

The Company withholds from its vendors 15% of the total payable as it relates to services or goods received for the CEC Grant.  As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, retainage payable was $379,569 and $375,362 and is expected to be paid upon the conclusion of the installation of the CEC Grant when all monies under the grant are received.

NOTE 5 - DUE TO RELATED PARTIES

From time to time, related parties make payments on the Company's behalf or advance cash to the Company for operating costs which require repayment.  Such transactions are considered short-term advances and non-interest bearing.  The Company expects to make repayments of advances in the near term.

As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Company owed related parties for services rendered a total of approximately $177,000 and $127,000, respectively, which is included in accounts payable in the accompanying balance sheets.

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT 

In September 2015, the Company entered into a convertible note with a third party for aggregate proceeds of $20,000.  The note bears interest at 10% per annum and was due and payable at January 31, 2015.  The maturity date was subsequently extended to June 30, 2016, then to October 31, 2016 and extended again to February 17, 2017.  The convertible note includes a bonus payment of $10,000 if the Company is successful in raising over $3.5M during the Company's Regulation A offering and also includes 10,000 warrants to purchase a like amount of the Company's common stock.  Per the amended terms of the contract, which were primarily to extend the agreement and clarify certain terms, the note principal and accrued interest thereon can be used as credit toward the purchase of shares in the Company's Regulation A offering at the option of the holder.  The 10,000 warrants are for three (3) years and exercisable at $5.00 per share.  The note states that the Company can extend the maturity date by sixty (60) days through the issuance of an additional warrant for each ten dollars ($10) of outstanding balance on the maturity date. These warrants would have the same terms as the warrants noted above.   No additional warrants were granted with the extensions.

The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and determined that the relative fair value of the warrants related to the debt was nominal and accordingly, no discount was recorded. 

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

The Company has entered into lease agreements with three gas stations in California.  The agreements allow the Company to install the hydrogen fueling station equipment at the facilities.

On December 29, 2014, the Company entered into a four-year lease agreement with the owner of a gas station (the "Station") located in Rohnert Park, California.  On July 26, 2016, the Company received notice that the station assets had been sold.  The buyer has not agreed to assume the original lease agreement.  The Company is seeking an alternative station that is acceptable to the CEC to replace Rohnert Park, or will build only two stations under the existing CEC grant, which would be reduced by one-third.  No equipment had yet been installed at this Station when notice of sale was received, and the Company's expenditures for that Station were minimal.  Under the original agreement, the Company would have leased approximately 1,000 square feet where equipment was to be installed. As compensation, the Station would have been paid 50% of the net profit generated by the hydrogen fueling station as defined by the agreement (min. $1.00/kg). The

Station would then remit the remaining portion of the net profit to the Company by the 10th day of the following month.  The Company would have been responsible for the maintenance and repair of equipment and the Station would have been responsible for the operation of the equipment and collection of fees.  The agreement would have automatically renewed for successive five year periods unless 60-day notice was provided by the end of the agreement term.

On December 29, 2014 the Company entered into a four-year license agreement with the owner of a gas station (the "Station 2") in Orange County, California.  As compensation, for the first six months after the commencement of operations at Station 2, Station 2 shall receive/retain $1.00 per kg plus certain overhead costs as defined by the agreement.  Beginning with the seventh month, at their sole discretion, Station 2 can choose either to receive/retain $1,750 per month plus $0.25 per kg hydrogen produced plus certain overhead costs or. continue with the amount defined during the first six months of the agreement.  The Company receives the net proceeds by the 15th day of the following month.  The Company is responsible for the maintenance and repair of equipment and Station 2 is responsible for the operation and collection of fees.  The agreement can be terminated after three years.  The agreement automatically renews for successive five-year periods unless 60-day notice is provided by the end of the agreement term.   Equipment has not yet been installed at this facility as of the issuance date of these financial statements as the Company is awaiting proper permitting.

On March 29, 2016, the Company entered into a four-year license agreement with the owner of a gas station in North Hollywood, California ("Station 3").  As compensation to the Station 3 owner, Station 3 will receive/retain 10% of gross sales proceeds of hydrogen sales each month, calculated before adding sales taxes.  Station 3 will remit the balance to the Company by the 15th day of the following month.  The Company is responsible for the maintenance and repair of equipment, and Station 3 is responsible for operations and collection of fees.  The agreement can be terminated after three years.  The agreement automatically renews for successive five year periods unless 60-day notice is provided by the end of the agreement term.   Equipment has not yet been installed at this facility as of the issuance date of these financial statements.

The Company is responsible for staying in compliance with the CEC Grant per the terms of the grant.  If the Company is unable to comply with those terms or is unable to match the funds called for under grant, the Company may be liable for any money received that is deemed inappropriate by the CEC.  

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT
