PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NaturalNano, Inc. (“NaturalNano” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”) a Delaware corporation. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Description of Business

 

NaturalNano (the “Company”), located in Rochester, New York, is engaged in the development and commercialization of material additives based on nanomaterials technology utilizing halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). The Company provides additives designed to improve the processing characteristics and mechanical properties of engineering thermoplastics and additives designed to optimize release of active agent such as vitamins and fragrance in cosmetics products. NaturalNano holds patents relating to the commercial use of HNTs in composite materials as well as specialized techniques used in the refinement and processing of HNTs and intermediaries that it ships to customers. HNT materials used as a surface treatment have also shown promise in medical research in stem cell collection and in trapping circulating cancer cells. The Company is also exploring surface treatments related to improved adhesion of protective coatings for polymer components used in several commercial applications.

 

NaturalNano is domiciled in the state of Nevada as a result of the merger with Cementitious Materials, Inc., (“CMI”), which was completed on November 29, 2005.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern — The accompanying consolidated 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. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss for 2013 of $892,139 and had negative working capital of $6,327,900 and a stockholders' deficiency of $6,571,265 at December 31, 2013. Since inception the Company’s operations have been funded through a combination of convertible debt from private investors and from cash advances from its former parent and majority shareholder Technology Innovations, LLC. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, to extend the terms of its existing obligations, to obtain additional financing and, ultimately, to attain successful operations.

 

As of December 31, 2013 the company owed $4,699,686 to lenders in the form of notes payable and accrued interest. Much of this debt is convertible into the Company’s common stock at terms beneficial to the lenders compared to the market price of the Company’s common stock (see Note 2). The Company continues to rely on these lenders to provide additional loans to cover Company expenses and to provide forbearance agreements extending the due dates of the various notes. As of December 31, 2013, the Company continued to require waivers for debt covenant violations and extensions of maturity dates. Refer to Note 2 for lenders waivers and maturity extensions received.

 

The Company’s management and Board of Directors continue to actively assess the Company's operating structure with an objective to reduce ongoing expenses, increase sources of recurring revenue as well as seeking additional debt or equity financing.  The Company will continually evaluate funding options including additional offerings of its securities to private and institutional investors and other credit facilities as they become available. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing alternatives might be available.

 

The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations since its inception and continues to have a working capital deficiency and limited opportunities for additional capital infusion.  The Company has experienced recurring defaults relating to the various provisions under its current debt obligations and is expected to require future forbearance and waivers relating to such provisions in the future. These negative financial conditions combined with delays experienced in product introduction and customer acceptance raises substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Combotexs, LLC

 

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Dissolution for Combotexs, LLC with the state of New York under section 1003 of the Business Corporation Law in connection with the unanimous written consent of the shareowners of Combotexs (a dormant New York limited liability company.) Prior to this action, the Company had a 51% controlling interest in Combotexs.  The dissolution was accepted by NYS in the third quarter of 2013. As a result of these actions, the non-controlling interest in subsidiary in the stockholders deficiency section of the balance sheet was eliminated in the third quarter of 2013 in the amount of $14,264 and a gain of $39,373 was recorded in the third quarter of 2013.

Halloysite is a nanotubule mineral that occurs in nature in many kaolin clay deposits. This material is actively mined today, both in the USA and internationally and is used by the paper, cement and ceramics industries, among others. We intend to utilize these deposits, and other original sources, to economically obtain and refine nanotubes.

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development plans have historically focused on material characterization, formulation testing and product accreditation for nanoscale materials and nanoclays, our Pleximer™ products and filled-tube products. These efforts have included process and product evaluations and development in the areas of:

·The use of halloysite as an additive in composites and polymers
·Enhancing the extended release properties resident halloysite clay.

 

For the twelve months ending December 31, 2013 and 2012 we invested $55,927 and $115,100, respectively, in support of our research and development programs.

 

Nanocomposites

 

Today, most nanocomposites used in the plastics industry are made with “platy nanoclay” materials or nano-sized versions of traditional fillers that are challenging and expensive to process. Platy nanoclays, such as montmorillonite, contain layered two-dimensional sheets held together by an intermediary layer. These clay sheets must be exfoliated (chemically separated) to produce a nanoparticulate filler with uniform dispersion characteristics within a polymer matrix. Today’s platy nanoclay composite production processes require multiple processing steps including: surface treatments, incorporation of nanoclay into the polymer synthesis process, and additional extrusion steps before the final polymer extruder or molding, in order to achieve the uniform dispersion required for most polymer composite products. These multiple manufacturing processes lead to complexity, increased cost and dispersion quality challenges. Even with the manufacturing processes described above, today’s platy nanoclays are only viable in a limited number of polymer families due to specialized chemistry and manufacturing requirements.

NaturalNano’s Pleximer™ concentrates have been designed to respond to certain industrial and commercial needs.  These include strength increases without compromising ductility, aesthetic enhancements, flame retardant properties and other proprietary needs.

 

 Filled Tube Products

 

NaturalNano’s halloysite natural tube (“HNT”) products involve filling HNTs with active agents for use in the polymer composites, health and beauty, household product, and agrichemical industries. Halloysite natural tubes are unique nanomaterials, since the tube can be filled with active agents of interest to add a feature or property to a material. The filled tube product contains a material of interest within the tubes such as an antimicrobial compound to provide antimicrobial properties to the resulting polymer composite material. This would be valuable, for example, in the fabric industry for athletic wear. In 2008 the Company began the evaluation and testing on several application opportunities relating to filled-tube products in industries including household, personal care and agrichemicals. Our preferred strategy for filled-tube products would be the establishment of a joint development agreement (JDA) with a field-of-use development partner. Such JDA agreements would include various product demonstration, validation and accreditation trials prior to market commercialization.

 

The processes for filling the tubes, for applications of interest such as cosmetics and agricultural, are covered by pending patent applications. The underlying technology for these products and processes are covered by patent applications pending issuance and certain issued patents with expiration dates ranging from 2014 to 2025 and described further under the heading “Intellectual Property.”

 

Halloysite Materials and NaturalNano’s Technologies

 

Halloysite is different from other nanoclays because it allows for the potential to eliminate certain exfoliation processing required by other nanoclay materials. Conventional nanoclays, also known as platy clays, occur as stacks of two-dimensional sheets held together by an intercalation layer. These sheets must be separated, or exfoliated, to function as nanoparticulate fillers and be dispersed into the polymer matrix. Exfoliation can be a complex, expensive, multi-step process that is often incomplete, frequently leaving larger pieces of clay that create weak points in the resulting composite material. Halloysite nanotubes do not require exfoliation and therefore the Company believes that Pleximer™ products may provide an opportunity for a reduction in processing cost and improvements in performance and production rates. Pleximer™ would allow manufacturers to use existing processing equipment without the need for the exfoliation process equipment used with platy clays. This broadens the potential market for clay-based nanocomposites by enabling more manufacturing sites to benefit from these materials and extends the use of the technology into different polymer systems.

 

The filled-tube products will focus on the utilization of the tubular nature of the halloysite nanotubes, by filling or adsorbing the tubes with active agents for the polymer nanocomposites, household products, cosmetics, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries. NaturalNano has  rights to patents covering usage of HNT and their unique hollow-tube structure that allows chemicals, additives or other materials to be added to the inside of the tubes, creating a slow or controlled release of the material. HNTs are a hollow tubular structure that is about 1 micron in length (1/1000 of a millimeter) with an average diameter of approximately 100 nanometers. Due to the unique chemistry and geometry of this material, HNTs may be used in an array of applications.

 

Strategy

 

The Company has made investments, through the purchase or lease of capital assets and licensing rights, in connection with the research, development and commercialization of the Pleximer™ and filled-tube products. During 2007-2008, the Company invested $540,000 in capital investment, including capital leases, for testing and characterization equipment associated with: (i) clay separation processes, (ii) polymer extruder equipment and upgrades, (iii) tube filling and evaluation tools, (iv) laboratory expansion, and (v) equipment such as a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Our investment in this specialty engineering equipment has provided the Company with tools for the characterization of thermal stability and strength of our nanocomposite formulations.

 

The critical milestones associated with the commercialization of the Pleximer™ and filled-tube products have included: manufacturing scale trials, customer application definitions and formulation optimization developed in combination with the customer validation and accreditation processes. The Company continues to receive numerous sample requests from various industry manufacturers and works with these businesses to develop tailored product formulations. The Company estimates that product specific testing, in advance of customer acceptance and order receipt, could take between three and six months, and in certain instances even longer, from the initial completion date for product design.

 

Market Opportunities

 

The Company believes its halloysite technologies can provide benefits across a variety of industry segments. Specific industries where management believes halloysite nanotubes may enhance products through controlled and extended release of active ingredients or through other treatments provided on the surfaces of the tubes include:

·Cosmetics, health and beauty products
·Household products
·Polymers, plastics and composites.

Raw Materials and Processing

 

Halloysite and the closely related kaolonite are naturally occurring clays which are actively mined on a commercial scale in the United States and throughout the world for use in the paper, porcelain and concrete industries, among others. The halloysite nanotubes can be separated from kaolonite using standard processing equipment and techniques which are currently in use. We believe that halloysite clay does not require any special handling, storage, or disposal and can be treated like any other clay product.

 

Our process begins with raw or minimally processed halloysite material from the mine. The halloysite would then be separated and treated utilizing our proprietary technologies and would be surface treated and optimized for the polymer of interest. This refined and treated material may be shipped to a partner company or a designated “toll manufacturing” facility in the form of a dry powder or slurry mixture. The use of tolling arrangements would allow the Company to limit our capital investment requirements and direct manufacturing hiring. Pleximer™ would be manufactured from the HNTs either at a partner company, toll manufacturer, or in-house and would typically be shipped to the customer in pellet or flake form, although the customer’s specific requirements will determine the final form of delivery. NaturalNano can add further value to the refined and classified nanotubes by either adding material to the surface of the nanotubes or loading the nanotubes with active materials. Typically, these materials would be incorporated with other ingredients to produce the finished product that our customer would sell, for instance providing a strengthening agent or extended release agent to be added to the partner’s existing materials or products. The resulting materials can then be shipped to customers for use in their individual manufacturing processes.

 

The Company has identified various sources of halloysite that are considered suitable as suppliers.

 

Sales and Business Development

 

For the halloysite business products division, the Company’s President is currently responsible for developing relationships with prospective customers and joint research and development partners. The Company does not maintain an in-house sales and business development team but has utilized consultants with chemical, manufacturing and engineering experience to assist with the design and commercialization of product and licensing revenues. Employees for such positions could be filled as in house positions in the future, as cash flow and liquidity improvements allow.

 

The Company forecasts that operating revenues will be generated from the sale of: filled-tubes, Pleximer™ products and from unique sample formulations developed from business development opportunities. Our CEO receives numerous sample requests from various industry manufacturers and works with these businesses to develop tailored product formulations.  Management believes this growing sample formulation and design program may result in future joint development opportunities. During both 2012 and 2013 the Company continued its program to provide small quantity samples to university researchers on a cost-free basis to encourage active research programs in the advancement of material science applications using halloysite based products.

 

During 2013 the Company continues to note interest in the Company’s recent findings in the use of halloysite nanotubes in the following area:

(a) “controlled release” products using  filled tube applications for medical diagnosis and treatment,

(b) commercial and household products using anti-bacterial controlled release products, and

(c) a growing trend in the use of natural ingredients in health and beauty products.

 

The Company’s major commercial customer, Fiabila S.A., a world leader in the manufacture of private label nail polish products, utilizes NaturalNano’s Halloysite Natural Tubes (“HNT”).  The Company’s HNT are environmentally friendly components that are incorporated into a range of the Fiabila produced nail polish products.  In 2013 and 2012 the Company’s sales of HNT to Fiabila represented approximately 79% and 59%, respectively of total sales.  Sparta Armor represented approximately 14% and 11% of total sales in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Fiabila products using our technology are currently being sold at the largest retailers, including Target, Wal-Mart, CVS and Walgreen’s.

 

The Company’s relationship with Fiabila continues to represent an excellent long term revenue opportunity for us that utilize our HNT to provide nail polishes with increased durability and performance.  NaturalNano has a three year exclusive supply agreement and license with Fiabila for the use of HNT as a component in nail polish and nail-care products.

 

NaturalNano continues to do development work in our lab for other major billion dollar cosmetic companies for other related cosmetic products excluding nail polish.  These companies represent potential future revenue.

 

Competition

 

Competitors in the nanotechnology industry include large public firms where nanotechnology may be a business unit and private firms that may focus solely on nanomaterials and nanotechnologies.   Many of our current and prospective competitors are larger and have greater financial resources, which could create significant competitive advantages for those companies. Our future success depends on our ability to compete effectively with other manufacturers of material additives that may have internal development programs. As a result, we may have difficulty competing with larger, established competitor companies. Generally, these competitors have:

 

·substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources;
·larger customer bases;

 

6
 

 

·better name recognition; and
·potentially more expansive product offerings.

 

Many of these potential competitors have greater financial resources and are likely to command a larger market share, which may enable them to establish a stronger competitive position than we may have, in part through greater marketing opportunities. If we fail to address competitive developments quickly and effectively, we may not be able to remain a viable entity.

 

Larger companies that have nanotechnology business units or divisions that are working with nanotechnology, such as: Air Products and Chemicals, BASF, Dow, E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Company, and others; have substantial resources. They have the capability to produce nanomaterials for their own internal use as well as for sale on the open market. Numerous private firms, such as Applied Minerals (formerly Atlas Mining Company), may also be considered competitive in the general field of supplying nanoscale materials. The Company’s products will compete most directly with compounding companies marketing nanoclay concentrates.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had 1 employee, who was full time.  The employee is located in Rochester, New York.  The employee focuses his energies solely on the business development and production of the medical boards business.  Due to the Company’s liquidity position described earlier, spending and staffing levels have been significantly reduced compared to prior reporting periods. Certain other staffing needs are met by part time independent contractors.

 

If our liquidity and cash positions improve, the Company will hire research staff in connection with the product development and commercialization of our products. There are no assurances that the Company’s liquidity and cash position will improve and allow hiring to be initiated in the near future. Our human resource needs have been filled through the use of experienced part-time consultants in various functional areas in lieu of hiring of full-time employees. All of our employees and consultants are required to signed confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements, as appropriate.

Note Regarding September 29, 2005 Merger

 

Prior to November 29, 2005, we were a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) known as “Cementitious Materials, Inc.” Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 26, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Cementitious Acquisitions, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and NaturalNano, Inc., now known as NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”), on November 29, 2005 Merger Sub was merged with and into NN Research, with NN Research surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, we changed our name to “NaturalNano, Inc.” As a result of the Merger, we ceased being a shell company. Except where the context indicates otherwise, all references in this document to “us”, “NaturalNano” or “the Company” refer, with respect to periods prior to the Merger, to NN Research and, with respect to periods after the Merger, to the consolidated enterprise consisting of NaturalNano, Inc. and NN Research.

 

Note Regarding June 14, 2012 Reverse Stock Split

 

On June 14, 2012 we effected a one-for-seventeen reverse stock split. All references in this report to the number of shares of our common stock and to related per-share prices (including references to periods prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split) reflect this reverse stock split.

 

Item 2. Properties

 

The business office for the Company is currently conducted from 800 square feet of office space located at 763 Linden Ave. in Rochester, New York. There is no signed lease agreement and the cost of rent for calendar year 2013 and 2012 was $0. Our laboratory and research facilities are located in leased space in Rochester, New York, as described below.

 

The Company leases approximately 9,200 square feet at 832 Emerson Street in Rochester, NY for laboratory space. The lease is a month-to-month agreement at $2,000 per month. Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $24,000 per year. The Company and the Landlord have a mutual agreement that the lease will continue on a month to month basis at $2,000 per month with no specified end date.

 

We believe our current office and laboratory facilities will be adequate for our anticipated needs for the next twelve months. We believe that appropriate insurance coverage is in place and effective for these facilities and related business needs.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

On March 24, 2009 the Company received a demand notice from an attorney representing a group of certain former employees of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s former President and Chief Financial Officer, demanding immediate payment of $331,265 for certain deferred compensation, severance and vacation benefits. Each of the former employees cited in the demand notice, as well as other former employees, had executed written agreements during 2008 that allowed the Company to defer certain of these compensation payments. The Company has retained counsel in connection with this demand and continues to evaluate this demand notice and responded to this demand on May 8, 2009.

Liquidity

 

Going Concern — The accompanying consolidated 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. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss for 2013 of $892,139 and had negative working capital of $6,327,900 and a stockholders' deficiency of $6,571,265 at December 31, 2013. Since inception the Company’s operations have been funded through a combination of convertible debt from private investors and from cash advances from its former parent and majority shareholder Technology Innovations, LLC. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, to extend the terms of its existing obligations, to obtain additional financing and, ultimately, to attain successful operations.

 

As of December 31, 2013 the company owed $4,699,686 to lenders in the form of notes payable and accrued interest. Much of this debt is convertible into the Company’s common stock at terms beneficial to the lenders compared to the market price of the Company’s common stock (see Note 2). The Company continues to rely on these lenders to provide additional loans to cover Company expenses and to provide forbearance agreements extending the due dates of the various notes. As of December 31, 2013, the Company continued to require waivers for debt covenant violations and extensions of maturity dates. Refer to Note 2 for lenders waivers and maturity extensions received.

 

11
 

 

The Company’s management and Board of Directors continue to actively assess the Company's operating structure with an objective to reduce ongoing expenses, increase sources of recurring revenue as well as seeking additional debt or equity financing.  The Company will continually evaluate funding options including additional offerings of its securities to private and institutional investors and other credit facilities as they become available. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing alternatives might be available.

 

The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations since its inception and continues to have a working capital deficiency and limited opportunities for additional capital infusion.  The Company has experienced recurring defaults relating to the various provisions under its current debt obligations and is expected to require future forbearance and waivers relating to such provisions in the future. These negative financial conditions combined with delays experienced in product introduction and customer acceptance raises substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Comparison of Liquidity and Capital Resources

for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $190,525 and $129,572, respectively. The net loss generated in 2013 was $0.3 million lower than the prior period reflecting the Company’s recognition of the $335,983 in stock based compensation expense from warrant grants in 2013. During 2012, the Company incurred a non-cash expense reflected as loss on modification of debt of $473,567 from forbearances received from Platinum, Platinum Advisors and Cape One.

 

Total non-cash adjustments to reconcile the net loss incurred to the cash used in operations aggregated $324,823 in 2013 and $784,723 in 2012.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the company recognized non-cash expenses of $0 and $44,451, respectively, for depreciation and amortization on fixed assets as all capital assets were fully depreciated in 2012. During 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a loss on modification of debt of $30,000 and $473,567 related to consideration given to lenders in exchange for forbearance agreements. During 2013 and 2012, the Company reduced outstanding liabilities through negotiations with certain vendors resulting in a net gain on the forgiveness of debt of $19,654 and $4,679 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

We expect that total operational spending in 2014 will be comparable to the 2013 levels, although we will continue to invest in product and commercialization efforts as our cash position and liquidity allow.

 

Investing activities

There was no net cash used in investing activities in the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012, respectively.

 

Financing Activities

Net cash provided from financing activities in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $184,365 and $134,000, respectively.

 

During 2013 the Company borrowed a total of $184,365 from Platinum and Alpha pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Promissory Note. These notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are now due and payable on June 30, 2014.

 

During 2013, the Company issued 138,500,000 shares of common stock to Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”) in payment of $10,013 of converted Longview Special Finance debt obligations and $139,507 in interest obligations on the Senior Secured Convertible Notes. In accordance with the debt agreement and accompanying assignment, these shares were issued to Alpha using a conversion prices ranging from $.000375 and $.00195 per common share.

These shares were issued at prices ranging from $.0004 to $0.00825 per share in accordance with the debt agreement and the conversion rates in place at the time the conversions were made.

 

Results of Statement of Operations

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Revenue and Gross Profit

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $147,362 and $136,611, respectively in revenue for products and samples. Gross margin from continuing operations of $117,749 and $ 125,638 reflects 80% and 92% of sales for these periods, respectively. The Company expects that it will experience significant variations in gross margins with its Nanotechnology products as it continues to introduce to market and develop new products and related applications. The Company expects that competitive pricing will be a continuing challenge as new products are developed and introduced and product acceptance and the Company’s production reputation develops.

Operating Expenses

Management continues to actively assess the Company's operating structure for the purpose of controlling expenses across all categories of the business. Such evaluations will continue with the intent to invest in research and development programs and product development in 2014 as our cash position and liquidity allows. No assurance can be given that future investment or debt financing will develop thereby resulting in improved cash inflow or liquidity for the Company.

 

Total research and development expenses decreased by $59,173 to $55,927 in the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company did not incur outside consulting services for research in 2013 and spent $3,407 less on patent maintenance filings than 2012. Consulting services were reduced in 2013 as product formulations developed in 2012 continue to be used in current sales with fewer new formulations requested by customers. There was no depreciation expense in 2013 as all laboratory assets were fully depreciated during 2012.

Total general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $680,928 as compared to $368,334 for the year ended December 31, 2012. 

 

Salaries and benefits increased 3% in 2013 over costs incurred in 2012 and professional services increased by 14% to $73,987. During the first and fourth quarters of 2013, the Company granted a total of 114,000,000 warrants to certain consultants, the Company’s CEO and the Company’s board member. These warrants grant the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0014 per share. The warrants were fully vested as of the grant date and contain a cashless exercise provision. The fair value of the warrants on the date of grant was determined using the Black-Scholes model and was measured on the various dates of grant at $324,525.  An expected volatility assumption of 289% has been used based on the volatility of the Company’s stock price utilizing a look-back basis and the risk-free interest rate of 1.37% to 1.88% % and was derived from the U.S. treasury yields on the dates of grant.  The market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant dates ranged from $0.0014 to $0.0039 per share.  The expiration date used in the valuation model aligns with the warrant life of five and ten years as indicated in the agreements.  The dividend yield was assumed to be zero. On January 3, 2011, Mr. Jim Wemett, the Company’s CEO, was awarded 882,353 warrant shares, each warrant share grants the right to purchase one share of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per warrant share.  The warrants vest over three years, expire January 3, 2016 and contain a cashless exercise provision.  The 2011 warrant grant results in expense of $11,626 annual expense over the vesting period.

Management continues to actively assess the Company's operating structure for the purpose of controlling expenses across all categories of the business. We expect that spending for general and administrative expenses will continue to be controlled in 2014, although investments in marketing and sales will be a priority if the Company’s cash and liquidity position improves. No assurance can be given that future investment or debt financing will develop thereby resulting in improved cash inflow or liquidity for the Company.

 

Interest and Other Income (expense)

 

Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $272,969 as compared $854,694 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

In June 2008, the FASB finalized ASC 815, formerly Emerging Issues Task Force 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock,” which was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2009. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized a loss of $6,517 and $4,074 respectively relating to the changes in fair market value for these derivative liabilities.

 

In 2013, the Company recorded an expense of $30,000 in connection with debt modifications related to forbearance agreements signed during the year as opposed to $473,567 for debt modifications in 2012. These losses from debt modification were netted against gains on forgiveness of debt in each year of $19,654 and $4,769, respectively. The Company entered into various agreements with certain vendors to settle accounts payable that were outstanding for amounts less than the liability that was recorded in the accompanying balance sheet. These vendor concessions have been treated as gains in the period that the underlying agreements were reached. During 2013, the Company released $70,000 of deferred income from a prior year where management considered all conditions to income recognition had been met related to a research project from an interested party. This research was not extended beyond Phase I.

 

Interest expense includes the interest on the senior and subordinated convertible and non-convertible promissory notes.

 

Inflation

 

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during 2013 or 2012.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on our financial condition, financial statements, revenues or expenses.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

We believe, that of the significant accounting policies described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, the following policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity and accordingly; these policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

  

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generated from the delivery of Pleximer™ and sample products specifically formulated for customer applications. The Company earns and recognizes such revenue when the shipment of the sample products has occurred, title transfers, no further performance obligation exists, and when collection is reasonably assured.

 

Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between income and expenses reported for financial reporting and tax reporting.  ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when management determines that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The Company evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets on an annual basis and any additional valuation allowances are provided or released, as necessary.  Since the Company has had cumulative losses in recent years, the accounting guidance suggests that it should not look to future earnings to support the realizability of the net deferred tax asset.

 

As of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its gross deferred tax assets to zero in accordance with ASC 740.

 

The Company believes that the accounting estimates related to deferred tax valuation allowances are “critical accounting estimates” because: (1) the need for valuation allowance is highly susceptible to change from period to period due to changes in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances, (2) the need for valuation allowance is susceptible to actual operating results and (3) changes in the tax valuation allowance can have a material impact on the tax provisions/benefit in the consolidated statements of operations and on deferred income taxes in the consolidated balance sheets.

Share-based compensation 

Compensation expense related to stock-based payments is recorded over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of assumptions which determines the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

 

The Company’s policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services as follows:  The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which the commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is based on the fair value of the services or the award, whichever is more readily determinable and is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. For stock based derivative financial instruments, the Company estimated the total enterprise value based upon trending the firm value from December 2006 to December 2013 and considering industry and Company specific factors including the changes in forward estimated revenues and market factors.  Once the enterprise value was determined an option pricing model was used to allocate the enterprise value to the individual derivative securities in the Company’s capital structure.  The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Item 9A Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures. As of December 31, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer participated in evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In light of the discussion of material weaknesses set forth below, this officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013. To the best of his knowledge, our Chief Executive Officer believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a public company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In making this assessment, this officer used the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued in 1992 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

15
 

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with our Chief Executive Officer’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting described above, this officer has identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013:

 

The Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls associated with segregation of duties were ineffective.  Due primarily to limited resources and the stage of growth, the Company failed to maintain appropriate controls over the selection, identification and application of GAAP related to complex accounting transaction that we have encountered, which also require detailed financial reporting.  Further, nearly all aspects of our December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 financial reporting processes, including but not limited to access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability to post and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements were performed by outside consultants without adequate oversight and review by a second individual.  This creates certain incompatible duties and a lack of review over the financial reporting process that would likely fail to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC.  As a result of these circumstances, the Company  determined that the controls over the preparation, review and monitoring of the financial statements were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that the financial records and related disclosures complied with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These factors resulted in the identification of adjustments to our December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements and related disclosures during the audit conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm.

 

As of December 31, 2013 there are two members of the Board of Directors, one of which is the CEO and President of the Company.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2013, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this annual report.

 

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

 

In response to the identified material weaknesses, management plans to continually monitor the overall control environment and to remedy the identified material weakness by consulting with third party accounting firms with the appropriate level of expertise to determine the proper application of GAAP for complex and non-routine transactions where applicable and when resources allow.

 

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed above, the Company believes that the financial statements included in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes made to our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) during 2013 that materially affected, or was reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Board and Committees of the Board

 

The Company does not currently have an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or a Nominating committee and has not established specific procedures for selecting candidates for director. However, in the past directors were nominated by a majority vote of the Board or stockholders. There is also no established procedure for shareholder communications with members of the Board or the Board as a whole. However, shareholders requests for communication are referred by the president of the Company for a response.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics for the Senior Executive Officer that is applicable to our principal executive officer and can be viewed on our website www.naturalnano.com.

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our articles of incorporation provide that no director or officer shall have any liability to the Company if he or she acted in good faith and with the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person in similar circumstances.

 

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices. However, nothing in our articles of incorporation or bylaws protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Nevada Revised Business Corporations Act provides that he or she shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Act

Stock Options

 

On September 23, 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the NaturalNano, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan.”) The 2005 Plan provides for incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, the grant of non-qualified options to selected consultants and to directors and advisory board members.

On September 23, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved the NaturalNano, Inc. 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”) pursuant to a written consent of the then majority stockholder.  This action was taken by the Company without a stockholders meeting pursuant to the written consent of the holder of a majority of the voting power of the Company on September 23, 2008. The 2008 Plan provides for incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, the grant of non-qualified options to selected consultants and to directors and advisory board members. The 2008 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and authorizes the grant of 47,058,824 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On October 14, 2009, the Company established the 2009 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2009 Plan”) without a vote from the stockholders of the Company.   The 2009 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, the grant of non-qualified options to selected consultants and to directors and advisory board members. The 2009 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and authorizes the grant of 1,176,471 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On June 20, 2011, the Company established the 2011 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2011 Plan”) without a vote from the stockholders of the Company.   The 2011 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, the grant of non-qualified options to selected consultants and to directors and advisory board members. The 2011 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and authorizes the grant of 1,470,588 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On December 21, 2011, the Company established the 2012 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2012 Plan”) without a vote from the stockholders of the Company.   The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, the grant of non-qualified options to selected consultants and to directors and advisory board members. The 2012 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and authorizes the grant of 1,764,706 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On February 26, 2013, the Company awarded 28,500,000 warrants to purchase common stock to two consultants, the Company’s CEO and the Company’s independent board member. These warrants grant the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0014 per share. The warrants were fully vested as of the date of grant, expire February 26, 2023 and contain a cashless exercise provision. On November 29, 2013, the Company awarded 54,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock to seven consultants, the Company’s CEO and the Company’s independent board member. These warrants grant the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0014 per share. The warrants were fully vested as of the date of grant, expire November 29, 2018 and contain a cashless exercise provision. On December 5, 2013, the Company awarded 31,500,000 warrants to purchase common stock to two consultants, the Company’s CEO and the Company’s independent board member. These warrants grant the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0014 per share. The warrants were fully vested as of the date of grant, expire December 5, 2018 and contain a cashless exercise provision.

 

The fair market value of the 2013 warrant grants was determined using the Black-Scholes model and was measured on the respective date of grant.  An expected volatility assumption of 289% has been used based on the volatility of the Company’s stock price utilizing a look-back basis and the risk-free interest rate of 1.37% to 1.88% has been derived from the U.S. treasury yield.  The market price of the Company’s common stock on February 26, 2013, November 29, 2013, and December 5, 2013 was $0.0014, $0.0030, and $0.0039, per share, respectively.  The expiration date used in the valuation model aligns with the warrant life.  The dividend yield was assumed to be zero. The fair market value of the 2013 warrants on the date of grant aggregated $324,525.

 

18
 

 

In 2011, Mr. Jim Wemett, the Company’s CEO, was awarded 882,353 warrant shares, each warrant share grants the right to purchase one share of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.17 per warrant share, vesting over three years.  The warrants expire January 3, 2016 and contain a cashless exercise provision.  The fair value of the warrant on the date of grant was determined using the Black-Scholes model and was measured on the date of grant at $34,879.  An expected volatility assumption of 150% has been used based on the volatility of the Company’s stock price utilizing a look-back basis and the risk-free interest rate of 3.36% has been derived from the U.S. treasury yield.  The market price of the Company’s common stock on January 3, 2011 was $0.0476 per share.  The expiration date used in the valuation model aligns with the warrant life of five years.  The dividend yield was assumed to be zero.

 

The plans also provide for the granting of performance-based and restricted stock awards.

 

In addition to options granted under the plans described above, the Company has from time to time made option grants outside of the incentive stock plans described above. These options were granted outside the plan primarily because their exercise price was less than the market price of our common stock on the date of grant and the plan does not permit the grant of options at below-market prices.

The Notes are secured on a pari-passu basis with the Company’s existing indebtedness to the Lenders (the “Existing Debt”) and (i) senior to all other current and future indebtedness of the Company, (ii) secured by all of the assets of the Company and each of its subsidiaries and (iii) unconditionally guaranteed by all subsidiaries of the Company.

 

The Loan and Security Agreement and the related underlying notes issued in accordance with the March 7, 2007 agreement had the original conversion price of $3.74 (as cited in the March 7, 2007 agreement) adjusted to a conversion price of $0.085. This conversion price was triggered as a result of the notes issued on September 29, 2008 thereby resulting in a reset of (a) the conversion price of the Initial Notes, (b) the exercise price of the warrants related to the Initial Notes and (c) the number of shares that may be purchased by such warrants.  The warrants issued in connection with the March 7, 2007 Loan and Security Agreement were adjusted under the anti-dilution provisions of the agreement, resulting in a new exercise price of $.085 per share.  On September 29, 2008, the Lenders also agreed to cancel warrants to purchase 71,702,945 shares of common stock at $.085 per share in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. These notes have been extended through forbearance agreements and are now due and payable on June 30, 2014.

Series B and C Preferred Stock

 

On October 6, 2008, the Company, filed a Certificate of Designation Of Rights, Preferences, Designations, Qualifications and Limitations of the Series C Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and prepared a preferred stock certificate for delivery to Platinum, evidencing 4,250,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. On October 6, 2008, the Company also filed a Certificate of Designation Of Rights, Preferences, Designations, Qualifications and Limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and prepared a preferred stock certificate for delivery to Longview, evidencing 750,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company.

 

On September 3, 2009, Platinum filed an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, Designations, Qualifications and Limitations of the Series C Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.  The amendment removed the Platinum’s right to appoint a director to the Company.  Platinum desires to remain a passive investor in the Issuer and does not want to exercise any control over the business of the Company.  As of the date of this amendment, the Series C Director was removed and now serves only as a director deemed elected by the holders of the common stock and continues to serve in this capacity until the next annual meeting of stockholders is scheduled. The amendment also added to the Series C Preferred Stock a limitation on the conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock, such that the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the holder upon conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that following such conversion the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the holder does not exceed 4.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

After the 2012 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, each share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 9.41 shares of the Company’s common stock and voted on an as-converted basis (with each share having 9.41 votes).  As part of the consideration for forbearance agreements in 2012, the conversion rate of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was adjusted to 160 shares per share of preferred (with each preferred share having 160 votes). Both the Series B and Series C designations limits the holders’ rights to convert its Convertible Preferred Stock, and the aggregate voting powers, to no more than 4.99% of the votes attributable to the total outstanding common shares.  Accordingly, the votes attributable to the Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred constitutes 4.99% of the aggregate votes attributable to the Company’s outstanding shares on an as converted basis and the votes Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred and the Series C Convertible Preferred, voting together represent approximately 9.98% of the aggregate votes attributable to the Company’s outstanding shares (on an as converted basis). 

 

During 2012, Alpha elected to convert 450,000 shares of Series B preferred shares owned by Longview into 4,235,293 common shares at the previously discussed conversion rate of 9.41 common shares per each Series B share and 55,000 shares of Series B preferred owned by Longview into 8,800,000 common shares at the conversion rate of 160 common shares per each Series B share.

 

During 2012, Platinum elected to convert 200,505 shares of their Series C preferred shares into 32,080,963 common shares at the conversion rate of 160 common shares per each Series C share.

 

During 2013, Alpha elected to convert 137,500 shares of Series B preferred shares owned by Longview into 22,000,000 common shares at the conversion rate of 160 common shares per each Series B share. Longview has assigned its Series B preferred stock ownership to Alpha Capital Anstalt.

 

During 2013, Platinum elected to convert 1,192,229 shares of their Series C preferred shares into 190,756,640 common shares at the conversion rate of 160 common shares per each Series C share.

 

During the first quarter of 2014 the Company issued an aggregate of 43,134,720 shares of our common stock to Platinum in satisfaction of the conversion of 269,592 Preferred C shares.

Director Independence

 

Although we are not subject to the rules or requirement of the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), we have, generally speaking, looked to those rules for guidance as to which members of our Board qualify as “independent directors.” Under these rules, an “independent director” is a person, other than an officer or employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, who has been affirmatively determined by our Board of Directors not to have a material relationship with us that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. As determined by AMEX, the following persons would not be deemed independent:

 

a)a director who is, or during the past three years was, employed by the Company or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company, other than prior employment as an interim Chairman or CEO;
b)a director who accepts or has an immediate family member who accepts any payments from the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company in excess of $100,000 during the current or any of the past three fiscal years, other than compensation for board service, compensation paid to an immediate family member who is a non-executive employee, non-discretionary compensation, certain requirement payments and a limited number of other specified types of payments;
c)a director who is an immediate family member of an individual who is, or has been in any of the past three years, employed by the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company as an executive officer;
d)a director who is, or has an immediate family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments (other than those arising solely from investments in the Company’s securities or payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs) that exceed 5% of the organization’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, in any of the most recent three fiscal years;
e)a director who is, or has an immediate family member who is, employed as an executive officer or any other entity where at any time during the most recent three fiscal years any of the Company’s executive officers serve on that entity’s compensation committee; and Company’s audit at any time during any of the past three years.

 

Our board has determined that Mr. Ruckdäschel is an “independent director.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

NaturalNano, Inc

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NaturalNano, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NaturalNano, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has negative working capital, a stockholders’ deficiency, has experienced recurring defaults related to various provisions of debt instruments, and will be dependent on extending the terms of its existing financing and obtaining future financing. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NaturalNano, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013

 

1.       PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NaturalNano, Inc. (“NaturalNano” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”) a Delaware corporation. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Dissolution for Combotexs, LLC with the state of New York under section 1003 of the Business Corporation Law in connection with the unanimous written consent of the shareowners of Combotexs (a dormant New York limited liability company.) Prior to this action, the Company had a 51% controlling interest in Combotexs.  The dissolution was accepted by NYS in the third quarter of 2013. As a result of these actions, the non-controlling interest in subsidiary in the stockholders deficiency section of the balance sheet was eliminated in the third quarter of 2013 in the amount of $14,264 and a gain of $39,373 was taken in the third quarter of 2013 which was attributed to the release of outstanding liabilities.

 

Description of the Business

NaturalNano (the “Company”), located in Rochester, New York, is engaged in the development and commercialization of material science technologies with an emphasis on additives to polymers and other industrial and consumer products by taking advantage of technology advances developed in-house and through licenses from third parties. The Company’s current activities are directed toward research, development, production and marketing of its proprietary technologies relating to the treatment and separation of nanotubes from halloysite clay and the development of related commercial applications for:

 

·Cosmetics, health and beauty products
·Polymers, plastics and composites

 

NaturalNano is domiciled in the state of Nevada as a result of the merger with Cementitious Materials, Inc., (“CMI”), which was completed on November 29, 2005.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern – The accompanying consolidated 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. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss for 2013 of $892,139 and had negative working capital of $6,327,900 and a stockholders' deficiency of $6,571,265 at December 31, 2013. Since inception the Company’s operations have been funded through a combination of convertible debt from private investors and from cash advances from its former parent and majority shareholder Technology Innovations, LLC. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, to extend the terms of its existing obligations, to obtain additional financing and, ultimately, to attain successful operations.

 

As of December 31, 2013 the company owed $4,699,686 to lenders in the form of notes payable and accrued interest. Much of this debt is convertible into the Company’s common stock at terms beneficial to the lenders compared to the market price of the Company’s common stock (see Note 2). The Company continues to rely on these lenders to provide additional loans to cover Company expenses and to provide forbearance agreements extending the due dates of the various notes. As of December 31, 2013, the Company continued to require waivers for debt covenant violations and extensions of maturity dates. Refer to Note 2 for lenders waivers and maturity extensions received.

 

The Company’s management and Board of Directors continue to actively assess the Company's operating structure with an objective to reduce ongoing expenses, increase sources of recurring revenue as well as seeking additional debt or equity financing.  The Company will continually evaluate funding options including additional offerings of its securities to private and institutional investors and other credit facilities as they become available. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing alternatives might be available.

 

The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations since its inception and continues to have a working capital deficiency and limited opportunities for additional capital infusion.  The Company has experienced recurring defaults relating to the various provisions under its current debt obligations and is expected to require future forbearance and waivers relating to such provisions in the future. These negative financial conditions combined with delays experienced in product introduction and customer acceptance raises substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

F-7
 

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which could, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

 

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Included in the Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2013 is $10,500 due from Checklist Boards Corporation which is 50% owned by the Company’s CEO. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.

 

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. When halloysite nanotubes or Pleximer™ held in inventory are used, the carrying value of any such inventory used (i) for research and development is expensed in the period that it is used for the development of proprietary applications and processes and (ii) in cost of goods sold will be charged as customer shipments are made. Overhead costs are applied to inventory during production and included in cost of goods sold.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the assets' useful lives or the remaining term of the lease.

 

Property and equipment, at cost, consists of the following:

 

   2013   2012   Useful Life
            
Lab equipment  $564,234   $564,234   5 years
Leasehold Improvements   118,120    118,120   3-15 years
    682,354    682,354    
Accumulated depreciation and amortization   (682,354)   (682,354)   
              
Net property and equipment  $-   $-    

 

Accrued Payroll

The Company accrues for earned and unused vacation benefits and deferred compensation costs for amounts contractually owed to employees.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. For stock based derivative financial instruments, the Company estimated the total enterprise value based upon trending the firm value from December 2006 to December 2013 considering company specific factors including the changes in forward estimated revenues and market factors.  Once the enterprise value was determined an option pricing model was used to allocate the enterprise value to the individual derivative securities in the Company’s capital structure.  The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

 

F-8
 

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 which requires recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards. Measurement of deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized.  The Company recognizes penalties and accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generated from the delivery of Pleximer™ and sample products specifically formulated for customer applications and production. The Company earns and recognizes such revenue when the shipment of the sample products has occurred, title transfers, no further performance obligation exists, and when collection is reasonably assured.

 

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed in the period the expenditures are incurred. Capital assets acquired in support of research and development are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life and related depreciation expense is included in research and development expense.

 

Other Income

During 2013, the Company released $70,000 of deferred income from a prior year where management considered all conditions to income recognition had been met related to a research project from an interested party. This research was not extended beyond Phase I.

 

Increase in Authorized Common Stock

On July 1, 2013 the Company received a unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting from the members of the Board of Directors and a written consent from the Series D stockholder to amend its articles of incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized common shares from 294,117,647 shares to 800,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to dilutive convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, options and warrants outstanding during the period. Shares to be issued upon the exercise of these instruments have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive based on the net loss incurred.

 

As of December 31, 2013 there were 1,678,082,198 shares underlying preferred stock, convertible debt, outstanding options and warrants that could potentially dilute future earnings. These potentially dilutive shares have been limited by certain debt and equity agreements with the Company’s lenders. These agreements provide limitations on the conversion of the dilutive instruments such that the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the holder upon conversion of such instruments shall be limited to ensure that following such conversion the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the holder does not exceed 4.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2013, the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to satisfy conversion of all the potentially dilutive instruments.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2013, 43,134,720 common shares were issued upon conversion of the instruments noted above which will dilute any potential future earnings.

 

Share Based Payments

The Company has six incentive stock plans: the 2005 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”), the Amended and Restated 2007 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”), the 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (“the 2008 Plan”), the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 2009 Plan”), the 2011 Incentive Stock Plan (“the 2011 Plan") and the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 2012 Plan”) or (collectively, the “Plans”).  The Plans provide for issuance of share-based awards to officers, key employees, non-employee directors, vendors and consultants. The terms and vesting schedules for share-based awards vary by type of grant and the employment status of the grantee. Generally, option awards vest based upon time-based conditions and are granted at exercise prices based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

 

The Company accounts for stock option awards granted under the Plans in accordance with ASC 718. Under ASC 718, compensation expense related to stock based payments are recorded over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

 

F-9
 

 

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (Formerly FASB Staff Positions Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18 and 00-18.) The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable and derivative liabilities. Fair values for all instruments except for derivative liabilities and convertible notes payable were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the derivative liabilities is discussed further in Note 3. The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable is estimated be less than the carrying value at December 31, 2013 based upon overall value of the company, lack of authorized shares underlying the conversion of the instruments, and the lack of liquid market for the volume of shares issuable upon conversion of the entire outstanding balance.

 

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

2.      NOTES PAYABLE

 

Notes payable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively consisted of the following:

 

Notes Payable  2013   2012 
Senior Secured Convertible Notes  $3,124,403   $3,134,415 
Senior Secured Promissory Notes   692,922    508,557 
Subordinated Secured Convertible Note   271,100    251,000 
Total  $4,088,425   $3,893,972 

 

Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Senior Secured Promissory Notes

As of December 31, 2013, Notes payable on the balance sheet includes $3,817,325 ($3,642,972 at December 31, 2012) for senior secured convertible and non-convertible promissory notes.  As further described below, the Company has defaulted on certain provisions of the notes. Platinum Long Term Growth and Merit Consulting, LLC (to whom Platinum Advisors has assigned their ownership interest in notes receivable from the Company) have granted waivers of default on their outstanding principal balance of $3,188,399 through June 30, 2014. Alpha Capital Anstalt (to whom Longview Special Finance has assigned its ownership interest in notes receivable to the Company) has granted a waiver of default on their outstanding principal of $628,926 through March 31, 2014.

 

F-10
 

 

The Loan and Security Agreement and the related underlying convertible notes issued in accordance with the Initial Note agreement had the original conversion price of $3.74 (as cited in the March 7, 2007 agreement) which was adjusted to a conversion price of $0.085 in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of this loan and security agreement. This conversion price adjustment was triggered as a result of the issuance of the 2008 Promissory Notes (described below) on September 29, 2008 thereby resulting in a reset of (a) the conversion price of the Initial Notes, (b) the exercise price of the warrants related to the Initial Notes and (c) the number of shares that may be purchased by such warrants. As compensation for forbearance from the lenders in 2012, the conversion rate was further adjusted to 75% of the lowest VWAP for the 1, 5 or 10 days immediately prior to the conversion.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 9,500,000 shares of common stock to Alpha Capital Anstalt (to whom Longview Special Finance has assigned its ownership interest in notes receivable to the Company) upon the conversion of $10,013 of outstanding principal due on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes held by Longview Special Finance. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company also issued 129,000,000 shares of common stock to Alpha Capital Anstalt upon the conversion of $139,508 of interest due on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes held by Longview Special Finance.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 45,882,335 shares of common stock to Merit Consulting, LLC upon the conversion of $28,981 of interest due on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes.

 

During 2012 the Company issued an aggregate of 11,053,941 shares of our common stock to Platinum in satisfaction of $939,585 of principal and an aggregate of 5,697,038 shares of our common stock to Platinum in satisfaction of $172,393 of interest due on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes.

 

The Initial Notes March 7, 2007

On March 7, 2007, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for $3,347,500 (the “Initial Notes”) consisting of $3,250,000 8% senior secured convertible notes and a note for $97,500 as partial consideration of due diligence fees with Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV (“Platinum”), Longview Special Financing, Inc. (“Longview”) and Platinum Advisors LLC (the “Agent”). The shares underlying these notes represented an aggregate of 895,054 common shares issuable upon the conversion of the principal amount of the notes at the original fixed conversion price of $3.74 per share at the time of the agreement. Longview Special Financing, Inc. and Platinum Advisors LLC subsequently assigned their notes to Alpha Capital Anstalt and Merit Consulting, LLC, respectively.

 

Loan and Security Agreement with Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV and Longview Special Financing, Inc.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued $3,250,000 face amount of 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to Platinum and Longview. The holders of the Notes may elect to convert the Notes at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at an original price of $3.74 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Notes contain anti-dilution protection that will automatically adjust the Conversion Price should the Company issue equity or equity-linked securities (with certain specified exceptions including option grants made in accordance with the Company’s existing benefit plans) at a price per common share below the Conversion Price to the price at which the Company issued such equity or equity-linked securities. This anti-dilution provision was triggered in the third quarter of 2008 when the Conversion Price was modified to $0.085.

 

Interest on the outstanding principal amount under the Notes is payable quarterly at a rate of 8% per annum, payable at the Company’s option in cash or in shares of its common stock registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). If the Company elects to make an interest payment in common stock, the number of shares issuable will be based upon 85% of the 20-day trailing volume weighted average price per share as reported on Bloomberg LP (the “VWAP”). Principal on the Notes was originally due and payable on March 7, 2009 and has been extended numerous times to the currently payable date of April 16, 2013 under a forbearance agreement entered into in 2013. If the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the principal market or exchange on which its stock is traded is at least $17.00 for twenty consecutive trading days, it can compel conversion of the Notes at the Conversion Price.

 

During 2012 the conversion terms for both principal and interest were adjusted to 75% of the lowest VWAP for the 1, 5 or 10-day period immediately prior to conversion.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Notes are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of the Company’s assets and substantially all of the assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”). In connection with the grant of these security interests, on March 7, 2007, the Company entered into a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which it granted to the investors and the Agent a security interest in all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of NN Research. In connection with the grant of these security interests, on March 7, 2007, NN Research entered into the Patent Security Agreement (the “Patent Security Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which NN Research granted to the investors and the Agent a security interest in all of NN Research’s patent interests.

 

F-11
 

 

Warrant Agreements with Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV and Longview Special Financing, Inc.

As further consideration, on March 7, 2007 the Company issued to Platinum and Longview two series of warrants, for the purchase at any time on or before March 7, 2011, of an aggregate of 1,303,476 shares of the Company’s common stock. The first series of warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) covered the purchase of an aggregate of 651,738 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.74 per share. The second series of warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) covered the purchase of an additional aggregate of 651,738 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.61 per share. Each series of Warrants contained anti-dilution protection that automatically adjusted the exercise price of such series of Warrants when the Company issued equity or equity-linked securities at a price per common share below the exercise price of such series to the price at which it issued such equity or equity-linked securities. This anti-dilution provision was triggered in the third quarter of 2008 when the conversion price was modified to $0.085. On September 29, 2008 Platinum and Longview agreed to exchange these warrants for 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (see Note 5).

 

Due Diligence Fees and Related Agreements with Platinum Advisors, LLC (the “Agent”)

On March 7, 2007, as consideration for due diligence services in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid to the Agent a cash fee of $97,500 and issued to that firm (i) a Note (identical in form to the Notes issued to the other investors) in the principal amount of $97,500, (ii) Series A Warrants for the purchase of 19,552 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.74 per share, (iii) Series B Warrants for the purchase of 86,681 shares of the Company’s common stock at $5.61 per share, and (iv) a warrant (the “Series C Warrant”) for the purchase at any time on or before March 7, 2011 of 67,129 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.74 per share. Each series of Warrants contained anti-dilution protection that automatically adjusted the exercise price of such series of Warrants when the Company issued equity or equity-linked securities at a price per common share below the exercise price of such series to the price at which it issued such equity or equity-linked securities. This anti-dilution provision was triggered in the third quarter of 2008 and the conversion price was modified to $0.085 and the number of warrants was modified to be 9,534,936. As of December 31, 2010 there were 9,534,936 of these warrant rights, held by Platinum Advisors, LLC, to purchase shares of common stock at $0.085 per share. These warrants expired unexercised during the second quarter of 2011 resulting in the elimination of the liability as of June 30, 2011.

 

The Platinum Advisors Note provides a limitation on the conversion of such note, such that the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the holder upon conversion of such note shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that following such conversion the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the holder does not exceed 4.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

On March 7, 2007, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file within 60 days of the March 7, 2007 agreement, a registration statement for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, in payment of interest on, or upon conversion of, the Notes. The Company further agreed to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective 120 days following the March 7, 2007 agreement date, or within 150 days if the Company receives a comment letter from the SEC, and to maintain such Registration Statement for the two year period following this date. This agreement allows for liquidated damages based on a daily amount of 0.0333% of the principal amount of the notes relating to the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes included in the Registration Statement.

 

The Company recorded a total of $146,028 in such liquidated damages as of December 17, 2007, the date the registration statement was declared effective. As of December 31, 2007, $63,539 of this obligation was paid in cash and $82,489 was recorded as an accrued liability.

Subordinated Secured Convertible Note

Convertible Notes

On December 4, 2009, the Company received net proceeds of $197,500 pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement dated as of November 30, 2009 with Cape One an accredited investor.  Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement the Company issued (i) a 10% Subordinated Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“the 10% Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $225,000 and (ii) a five-year common stock purchase warrant to purchase 2,647,059 shares, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions in the agreement of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share at an exercise price of $0.425 per share.

 

The 10% Convertible Note had a 15-month term, bears interest at 10% per annum and is secured by certain assets of the Company pursuant to a security agreement, dated November 30, 2009.  The 10% Convertible Note is convertible into Common Stock at any time prior to maturity (provided that such conversion does not result in the holder and its affiliates beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% (9.99% upon 61 days’ prior written notice) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock at $0.085 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain anti-dilution events.  Interest under the Note is due quarterly in cash or if registered, in the Company’s common stock at a 20% discount in accordance with a formula set forth in the 10% Note.  The 10% Note and security interest is subordinate to certain outstanding senior indebtedness of the Company held by Platinum Long Term Growth IV, LLC, Merit Consulting and Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Senior Lenders”). Upon the occurrence of Events of Default as set forth in the Note, the principal and interest due under the Note may be accelerated and the interest rate payable may be increased to 18%.

 

During 2011, various forbearance agreements were entered into between Cape One and the Company which extended the due date.  As consideration for these forbearances, Cape One will be paid $60,000 which was added to the principal balance of the note and resulted in a loss on modification of debt of $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 reported in the statement of operations. In addition, the interest rate on the outstanding amount during the forbearance periods was adjusted from 10% to 18%. During 2012, the Company entered into various forbearance agreements which extended the due date of all the outstanding principal and interest balances.  As consideration for these forbearances, Cape One will be paid $55,000 which was added to the principal balance of the note and resulted in a loss on modification of debt of $55,000 for the year ending December 31, 2012 reported in the statement of operations. Also as consideration for forbearance in 2012, the conversion rate of the note was adjusted from $0.085 to 75% of the lowest VWAP for the 1, 5 or 10-day period immediately prior to the conversion. During 2013, various forbearance agreements were entered into between Cape One and the Company which extended the due date.  As consideration for these forbearances, Cape One will be paid $55,000 which was added to the principal balance of the note and resulted in a loss on modification of debt of $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 reported in the statement of operations. This note has been extended through forbearance agreements and is now due and payable on March 31, 2014.

During 2012 the Company issued 6,164,559 shares of common stock to Cape One in payment of $44,000 of principal and $44,550 of interest expense obligations on the Subordinated Secured Convertible Note. During 2011 the Company issued 736,318 shares of common stock to Cape One in payment of $45,000 of principal and $17,587 of interest expense obligations on the Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes.

 

Warrant Agreement and Debt Discount

As further consideration, the Company issued to Cape One 2,647,059 warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock any time prior to November 31, 2014 at an exercise price of $0.425 per share.  The Warrant provides for cashless exercise and contains full ratchet and other anti-dilution provisions.  The Warrant is convertible by the Investor into Common Stock at any time during the term of the Warrant (provided that such exercise does not result in the holder and its affiliates beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% (9.99% upon 61 days’ prior written notice) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.

 

The warrant and conversion terms related to the transaction were considered to be derivatives as a result of the anti-dilution provisions. The fair value of the Cape One derivatives was determined by estimating the total enterprise value of the Company based upon trending the firm value and considering company specific factors thereafter including the changes in forward estimated revenues and market factors.  An option pricing model was then used to allocate $12,603 to the Cape One derivatives, recorded as a note discount. This discount was fully amortized prior to 2012.

 

Convertible Note Covenants and Other Agreements

The proceeds from the 10% Convertible Note, after taking into account expenses related to the Offering including a $20,000 commitment fee paid to the Investor and $7,500 paid to the Investor’s counsel was $197,000. The proceeds from the 10% Convertible Note were restricted for general working capital purposes.

 

The Subscription Agreement provides for mandatory redemption in certain circumstances: (i) The Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, (ii) redeemed securities junior to the Note, or (iii) if an Event of Default as defined in the Note and Subscription Agreement has occurred which is not cured in 7 days.  In addition, upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), the Company may be required to pay the Investor an amount equal to the principal outstanding amount under the Note multiplied by 125%, plus unpaid interest.

 

The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares granted in connection with the 10% Convertible Note have piggyback registration rights as described in the Subscription Agreement. Except for certain excepted issuances, if during the term of the Note, the Company consummates a certain new equity or financing transaction, the Investor has the right to exchange the Note for securities issued in such new transaction. The Investor is entitled to liquidated damages of $100 per business day for each $10,000 of principal under the Note for Conversion Shares or purchase price of Warrant Shares or the Mandatory Redemption Amount that is not timely paid or delivered or for Unlegended Shares (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) not timely delivered. In addition, the Company may be required to redeem the Conversion Shares at a price per share equal to the greater of 120% or the Unlegended Redemption Amount for failure to deliver Unlegended Shares for 30 days in any 360 day period. The issuances of the Note and Warrant were made pursuant to a private placement under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement.

 

3.        DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

For stock based derivative financial instruments, the Company estimated the total enterprise value based upon trending of the firm value from December 2006 to December 2013 considering industry and Company specific factors including the changes in forward estimated revenues and market factors.  Once the enterprise value was determined an option pricing model was used to allocate the enterprise value to the individual derivative and other securities in the Company’s capital structure.  The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

 

The Company’s derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2013 are as follows:

·The debt conversion feature embedded in the 8% Senior Secured Convertible notes entered into in March 2007 which contains anti-dilution provisions that would be triggered if the Company issued instruments with rights to the Company’s common stock at prices below this exercise price (described in Note 2.)
·The debt conversion feature and the 2,647,059 warrants exercisable at $0.425 per share granted in connection with the 10% Subordinated Secured Convertible debt entered into in November 2009. These agreements contain anti-dilution provisions that would be triggered if the Company issued instruments with rights to the Company’s common stock at prices below the exercise price (described in Note 2.)

 

F-15
 

 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

 

   December 31,
2013
Derivative
Liability
   December 31,
2012
Derivative
Liability
 
Derivative Instrument        
8% Notes conversion feature  $18,045   $24,285 
10% Notes conversion feature   3,946    1,447 
Warrant liability   10,428    - 
Total  $32,419   $25,732 

 

The Company notes that additional derivative liabilities may exist related to outstanding warrants and options due to the Company having insufficient authorized shares to satisfy the exercise or conversion of all outstanding instruments as of December 31, 2013, but as the exercise prices for these outstanding options and warrants are significantly in excess of current market prices for the Company’s common stock, the value of and derivative liabilities would be negligible.

 

Fair Value Valuation Hierarchy Measurement

ASC 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows.

·Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
·Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using certain estimated factors such as volatility and probability and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The following table provides a roll forward of the liabilities carried at fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs (level 3).

 

   2013   2012 
Fair value – beginning  $25,732   $21,658 
Loss recognized   6,687    4,074 
Fair value – ending  $32,419   $25,732

4.     INCOME TAXES

 

Following is a summary of the components giving rise to the income tax benefit for the years ended December 31:

 

The benefit for income taxes consists of the following:

   2013   2012 
Currently payable:          
Federal  $-   $- 
State   -    - 
Total currently payable   -    - 
Deferred:          
Federal   (152,125)   (221,188)
State   -    (927)
Total deferred   (152,125)   (222,115)
Less increase in valuation allowance   152,125    222,115 
Net deferred   -    - 
Total income taxes  $-   $- 

 

Individual components of deferred taxes are as follows:

   2013   2012 
Deferred tax assets          
Net operating loss carry forwards  $4,401,295   $4,050,993 
Equity issued for services   1,262,862    1,138,218 
Other   140,311    475,226 
Total   5,804,468    5,664,437 
Less valuation allowance   (5,804,468)   (5,664,437)
Net deferred tax asset  $-   $- 

 

The Company has approximately $15,200,000 in federal net operating loss carry-forwards (“NOLs”) available to reduce future taxable income.  These carry-forwards expire at various dates from 2024 through 2033. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize the NOLs before they expire, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the gross deferred tax asset to zero.  A portion of the net operating loss carry-forward, amounting to approximately $840,000, relates to tax deductions for stock awards, options and warrants exercised subsequent to the implementation of ASC 718, which are not included in the determination of the deferred tax asset above and will be recognized in accordance with ASC 718 when realized for tax purposes.

 

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) imposes limitations on the availability of a company’s net operating losses and other corporate tax attributes as ownership changes occur.  As a result of the controlling ownership by Technology Innovations, as well as with the changes in ownership that occurred during 2010, a Section 382 ownership change is expected and a study will be required to determine the date of the ownership change. The amount of the Company’s net operating losses and other tax attributes incurred prior to the ownership change may be limited based on the Company's value.  A full valuation allowance has been established for the gross deferred tax asset related to the net operating losses and other corporate tax attributes available. Accordingly, any limitation resulting from Section 382 application will not have a material effect on the balance sheet or statements of operations of the Company in 2013 or 2012.

 

F-17
 

 

The differences between the United States statutory federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

 

   2013   2012 
         
Statutory United States federal rate   34.0%   34.0%
State taxes, net of federal benefit   -    - 
Nondeductible Interest Expense   (14.0)   (10.9)
Nondeductible Loss on Debt Modification   (1.2)   (4.7)
Change in valuation allowance   (17.2)   (18.6)
Other   (1.6)   0.2 
Effective tax rate   0%   0%

 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

 

Unrecognized tax benefits balance at January 1  $760,000   $760,000 
Gross increase for tax positions of prior years   -    - 
Gross decrease for tax positions of prior years   -    - 
Gross increase for tax positions of current year   -    - 
Gross decrease for tax positions of current year   -    - 
Settlements   -    - 
Lapse of statute of limitations   -    - 
Unrecognized tax benefits balance at December 31  $760,000   $760,000 

 

At each of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the total unrecognized tax benefits of $760,000 have been netted against the related deferred tax assets.

 

The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and New York State. The tax years 2009-2013 generally remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The Company has not filed its federal or state income tax returns for 2012.

 

5.      STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIENCY

 

As of December 31, 2013 the Company was authorized to issue up to 800,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

Increase in Authorized Common Stock: On July 1, 2013 the Company received a unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting from the members of the Board of Directors and a written consent from the Series D stockholder to amend its articles of incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized common shares from 294,117,647 shares to 800,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2013 there were 1,678,082,198 shares underlying preferred stock, convertible debt, outstanding options and warrants that could potentially dilute future earnings. The Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to satisfy conversion of all the potentially dilutive instruments.

 

Preferred Stock Issuances

On June 10, 2013 the Company obtained the consent of the holders of the majority of the outstanding preferred shares for the creation of a Series D Preferred Stock. The holder of the Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to a 51% vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company. There are no other rights or preferences attached to the Series D Preferred Stock. On July 1, 2013, the Company issued 100 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock to Jim Wemett, the sole officer and a director of the Company. Such securities were issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

On September 29, 2008 the Platinum and Longview agreed to exchange detachable warrants (see Note 2) to purchase 71,691,180 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.085 per share held by such Investors related to the March 6, 2007 convertible notes payable for 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

On October 7, 2008, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, Designations, Qualifications and Limitations of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and prepared a preferred stock certificate for delivery to Platinum Long Term Growth IV, LLC, evidencing 4,250,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series C”).  On October 7, 2008, the Company also filed a Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, Designations, Qualifications and Limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and prepared a preferred stock certificate for delivery to Longview Special Funding, Inc., evidencing 750,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series B”).  The Series B and Series C have an aggregate liquidation preference of $10,000 and participate in any dividends or distributions to the common shareholders on an as converted basis.

 

F-18
 

 

Each share of the Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 160 shares of the Company’s common stock and votes on an as-converted basis (with each share having 160 votes).  The conversion rate was reduced to 9.41 as a result of the 2012 reverse split (Note 9), but was subsequently changed back to 160 as part of the consideration related to 2012 forbearance agreements (Note 2). Both the Series B and Series C designations limits the holders’ rights to convert its Convertible Preferred Stock, and the aggregate voting powers, to no more than 4.99% of the votes attributable to the total outstanding common shares.  Accordingly, the votes attributable to the Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred constitutes 4.99% of the aggregate votes attributable to the Company’s outstanding shares on an as converted basis and the votes Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred and the Series C Convertible Preferred, voting together represent approximately 9.98% of the aggregate votes attributable to the Company’s outstanding shares (on an as converted basis).  On December 31, 2013, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has an aggregate liquidation value of $10 and the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has an aggregate liquidation value of $5,715.

 

As a result of the Company not having sufficient authorized shares to satisfy the conversion of all outstanding convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, warrants and options, the Series B and C preferred shares have been moved into temporary equity classification on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

On September 3, 2009, Platinum filed an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, Designations, Qualifications and Limitations of the Series C Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.  The amendment removed the Platinum’s right to appoint a director to the Company.  Platinum desires to remain a passive investor in the Issuer and does not want to exercise any control over the business of the Company.  As of the date of this amendment, the Series C Director was removed and now serves only as a director deemed elected by the holders of the common stock and continues to serve in this capacity until the next annual meeting of stockholders is scheduled. The amendment also added to the Series C Preferred Stock a limitation on the conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock, such that the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the holder upon conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that following such conversion the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the holder does not exceed 4.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Legal Proceedings

On March 24, 2009 the Company received a demand notice from an attorney representing a group of certain former employees of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s former President and Chief Financial Officer, demanding immediate payment of $331,265 for certain deferred compensation, severance and vacation benefits. Each of the former employees cited in the demand notice, as well as other former employees, had executed written agreements during 2008 that allowed the Company to defer certain of these compensation payments. The Company has accrued for earned and unused vacation benefits and deferred payroll costs for amounts electively deferred by these and other former employees as of December 31, 2013. The Company has retained counsel in connection with this demand and continues to evaluate this demand notice and has responded to this demand. No actions or probable settlement discussions between the parties have developed since the filing of this demand. Due to the Company’s current cash and liquidity position discussed above and the current evaluation of the items in the demand notice, the timing of future payment of these outstanding amounts in uncertain.  No further communication has been had regarding this notice.

 

During the third quarter ending September 30, 2010, two former employees, one involved in the March 24, 2009 demand, agreed to forgive the Company’s liability to them of $54,691 related to deferred compensation in exchange for shares of common stock.

Stockholders who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the Reverse Stock Split received one whole share.
