NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012
UNAUDITED
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of HPEV, Inc. (“HPEV” or the “Company”) are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period from inception (March 24, 2011) to December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2012 or for any future period.
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
HPEV, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly known as Bibb Corporation and Z3 Enterprises, Inc.) (hereinafter referred to as “HPEV” or the” Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2002.
On March 29, 2011, the Company (under the name Z3 Enterprises) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire 100 shares, constituting all of the issued and outstanding shares of HPEV Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HPEV-DE”), in consideration for the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of Company common stock. Upon closing of the Share Exchange on April 15, 2011, HPEV-DE became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of HPEV-DE by the Company was recorded as a reverse acquisition of a public company and recapitalization of the Company based on factors demonstrating that HPEV-DE represents the accounting acquirer.
HPEV-DE was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 24, 2011 to commercialize the technology from patents developed by two of its shareholders. Activities during its start-up stage were nominal.
Subsequent to the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company changed its business focus to the commercialization of HPEV-DE technologies in a variety of markets by licensing its thermal dispersion technologies to engine, generator and vehicle component manufacturers, among others. The Company also plans to license its hybrid electric vehicle conversion system to fleet owners, vehicle dealers and service centers.
On May 5, 2011, a total of 7 patents (1 granted, 6 pending) were assigned to HPEV-DE by Thermal Motors Innovations, LLC, a company controlled by the developers of the patents. On November 8, 2011, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office determined in an office action that one of the patents-pending should be divided to create up to 4 additional patents (1 patent could become 5 patents). Management and its patent attorneys believe the Company will be issued 4 of the possible 5 patents. On March 13, 2012, HPEV-DE was awarded a patent for a composite heat structure application in submersible motors. On April 2, 2012, HPEV-DE received a Notice of Allowance regarding a patent covering the incorporation of a totally enclosed heat pipe technology in bearings and related structures. On April 3, 2012, the Company received notice that one of its patents-pending - a totally enclosed heat pipe cooled motor – had been awarded. On June 14, 2012, the Company received notice that another one of its patents-pending – a heat pipe application for hermetic motors – had been awarded. Two additional patents-pending remain to be assigned to HPEV-DE. Therefore, as of June 30, 2012, HPEV-DE, has been assigned the rights to four patents, one notice of allowance and nine patents-pending with two remaining to be assigned. See Note 9 – Intellectual Property.

HPEV, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012
UNAUDITED
The patents and patents-pending assigned to HPEV-DE cover thermal dispersion technologies and their applications as well as an electric load assist. The utilization of thermal technologies should increase the horsepower of electric motors and enhance the lifespan and effectiveness of heat-producing vehicle components. The electric load assist is based on the Company’s parallel vehicle platform which makes it possible for hybrid electric vehicles to utilize power in any combination from the gas or diesel engine and an electric motor installed on-board.
On April 5, 2012, a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State noting the change in the Company name to HPEV, Inc.; the increase in authorized common stock to 100,000,000 shares; the increase in preferred stock to 15,000,000 shares; and the authorization of the Board to divide or change the powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations and rights of the preferred shares by resolution.
On April 5, 2012, the Board of Directors voted to amend the bylaws and establish the new registered agent in the State of Nevada as InCorp Services. It voted to change the number and titles of corporate officers and to enable the alteration, amendment or repeal of the bylaws either by approval of a majority of shareholders or by the approval of the Board. It also removed clauses that restricted the duties and authority of the Board committees as well as removed a clause regarding the resignation of Officers. Finally, it appointed Timothy Hassett, Chief Executive Officer; Quentin Ponder, Chief Financial Officer (he remains Treasurer); Theodore Banzhaf, President; and Judson Bibb, Vice President (he remains Secretary).
On April 6, 2012, the Board of Directors amended other articles and sections of the bylaws. Specifically, they voted to increase the number of directors, to enable the filling of vacancies on the board of directors by majority vote of the remaining directors or director and to appoint Timothy Hassett and Quentin Ponder to serve as Chairman of the Board and Vice Chairman, respectively.
On April 20, 2012, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) approved the name change from Z3 Enterprises, Inc. to HPEV, Inc and the symbol change from BIBB to WARM. The changes took effect on April 23, 2012.
As operations have consisted of general administrative and pre-production activities, the Company is considered a development stage company in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $4,332,778 during the period from March 24, 2011 (Date of Inception) through June 30, 2012 and has not fully commenced its operations. The Company is still in the development stages, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing from shareholders or other sources to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. At this time, the Company is seeking additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt, equity, or joint venture agreements, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012
UNAUDITED
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
It is possible management may decide that the Company cannot continue with its business operations as outlined in the current business plan because of a lack of financial resources and may be forced to seek other potential business opportunities that may be available.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of HPEV, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HPEV-DE and its parent HPEV (formerly known as Z3 Enterprises). On April 20, 2012, the Company officially changed its name to HPEV, Inc.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Year end
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured. For the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and for the period from inception to June 30, 2012, the Company did not report any revenues.

Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10 which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance regarding disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, approximate the carrying amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), superseded by ASC 820-10, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The impact of adopting ASC 820-10 was not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
● Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
● Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
● Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation of our derivative liability is determined using Level 1 inputs, which consider (i) time value, (ii) current market and (iii) contractual prices.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2012. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loan payable and notes payable – related party.

UNAUDITED
Income Taxes
The Company provides for federal and state income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Upon inception, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), superseded by ASC 740-10. The Company did not recognize a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit as of the date of adoption. The Company did not recognize interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other operating expenses.
Employee Stock Based Compensation
The FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which was superseded by ASC 718-10. ASC 718-10 provides investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information, by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. ASC 718-10 covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has not implemented an employee stock based compensation plan.
Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which was superseded by ASC 505-50. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Statement reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, its unaudited financial statements and related notes elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Background
We have not generated any revenues to date. We expect to begin to generate revenues late in the second half of 2012 or early 2013.
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, HPEV, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HPEV-DE”), we have developed and intend to commercialize thermal dispersion technologies in various product platforms, and have developed and intend to commercialize an electric load assist technology around which we have designed a vehicle retrofit system. In preparation, we have applied for trademarks for some of our technologies and their acronyms including ‘Totally Enclosed Heat Pipe Cooled’, ‘TEHPC’, ‘Electric Load Assist’ and ‘ELA’.
We believe that our proprietary technologies, including our patent portfolio and trade secrets, can change the manufacturing cost structure in several large industries beginning with motor/generator and fleet vehicles.
The markets for products utilizing our technology include consumer, industrial and military markets, both in the U.S. and worldwide. Our initial target markets include those involved in moving materials and moving people, such as:
· | Motors/Generators, |
· | Compressors, |
· | Turbines (Wind, Micro), |
· | Bearings, |
· | Electric Vehicles: rail, off-highway, mining, delivery, refuse, |
· | Brakes/rotors/calipers, |
· | Pumps/fans, |
· | Passenger vehicles: auto, bus, train, aircraft, |
· | Commercial vehicles: SUV, light truck, tram, |
· | Military: boats, Humvee, truck, aircraft, and |
· | Marine: boats ranging in size from 30 feet to 120 feet. |
17 |
Our Technologies
Our technologies are divided into two distinct but complementary categories: heat dispersion technology and electric load assist technology.
Heat Dispersion Technology
Heat is an undesirable byproduct of anything that moves, especially motors. Historically, a large percentage of the cost of manufacturing any motor is in the technology necessary to remove heat during its operation to prevent failure and increase power. Heat can destroy motors, generators and many other types of machinery, and the energy necessary to remove heat can limit output.
Our thermal dispersion technology removes heat via specialized heat pipes. Heat pipes have been utilized for more than 50 years, but we have a proprietary process and design technology that makes our heat pipes usable in many applications that have previously not been effective. The key is that our heat pipes move heat in ANY direction in a system that requires little or no maintenance and can be applied to almost any motor, generator or industrial product. This allows for more efficient, smaller, and higher output machines, resulting in cooler motors and a longer operating life.
Through HPEV-DE, we have been assigned the rights to four patents, one notice of allowance and have nine other patents pending. Our patent portfolio covers the application and integration of our heat pipes into various cooling schemes for enhanced heat removal in motors, generators and numerous other industrial applications including marine, aviation and military. We believe that our technologies have the potential to deliver power output increases and cost reductions, depending on the machine type or motor/generator size, as follows:
1. | Increase power density of current motor platforms by 20% to 50%, |
2. | Reduce total product cost by 12.5% to 25%, |
3. | Increase motor and generator efficiency by 1% to 2%, and |
4. | Increase motor and generator life. |
We believe that products produced with our technologies have the potential to deliver operational savings as well, including:
1. | Savings from reduced maintenance costs, |
2. | Savings from the standardization of multiple platforms down to a single platform, |
3. | Savings from the standardization of drawings and data around existing platforms, |
4. | Savings from the ability to use standard designs and standard insulation systems vs. custom, and |
5. | Savings from the ability to integrate and produce on existing production lines with no retooling and no additional or minimum capital investment. |
Management plans to capture revenues for a significant portion of the value of these savings that will also be delivered to market.
Our revenue model for the heat dispersion technology will be to license the technology in exchange for royalties. We are entering into product development agreements with manufacturing partners. We anticipate that we will begin to enter into license agreements upon completion of our initial product development, when the product is ready to be manufactured on the licensee’s regular production line, after all development and testing have been completed.
We expect to begin to generate revenues from our heat dispersion technology business late in the second half of 2012 or early 2013.
18 |
Electric Load Assist (ELA) Technology
We have also developed proprietary Electric Load Assist (ELA) technology. The technology is the centerpiece of our vehicle retrofit system (separate and apart from our heat pipe technology and heat dispersion product development partnerships), which also relies on the benefits of heat removal and is protected by patents and patents-pending.
With ELA, a vehicle engine does not have to work as hard, as some of the work that was done by the engine is now performed by an electric motor running in parallel. The vehicle still drives and feels the same, and our ELA controller allows full acceleration and braking control; however, the engine runs much more efficiently and burns significantly less fossil fuel. The ELA controller allows the vehicle operator to determine the amount of load assist during operation, ranging from all-fuel to all-electric. Our ELA system will provide a significant difference and improvement from, and competitive advantage over, current market offerings such as the Toyota Prius. If either the electrical system or the internal combustion engine fails, an ELA vehicle can operate on the remaining system. In current market offerings, if either system fails, the vehicle fails.
Our ELA technology is compatible with any manufacturer as well as any power source, including traditional gasoline/diesel engines, batteries and fuel cells. Our technology should also provide a wide range of marine, aviation, industrial and military applications.
Initially, our ELA system business is expected to generate revenue from fleet vehicles’ owner/operator partners, owning and/or managing fleets of Class 3, 4 and 5 or light to medium-duty trucks. Our revenue model for the ELA technology will be to license the technology in exchange for royalties based on fuel savings.
We expect to begin to generate revenues from our ELA technology business in the late in the second half of 2012 or early 2013.
Going Concern
As a result of our financial condition, we have received a report from our independent registered public accounting firm for our financial statements for the period from March 24, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2011 that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, we must effectively balance many factors and begin to generate revenue, so that we can fund our operations from our sales and revenues. If we are not able to do this, we may not be able to continue as an operating company.
Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
We had no revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2012. Our operating expenses were $890,546, consisting entirely of consulting fees, professional fees, research and development, and general and administrative expenses as we changed management and began our operations as a newly public company and launched our initial capital raise.
We also had no revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2012. Our operating expenses were $(992,191). The core expenses consisted of consulting fees, professional fees, research and development, general and administrative expenses and financing costs totaling $1,855,635. For accounting purposes, they were offset by a director stock compensation of $2,650,000 which was rescinded on April 13, 2012.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
REVENUE AND OPERATING EXPENSES:
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we had no revenues.
As mentioned above, we have tried to minimize our operating expenses. The expenses for the second quarter of 2011 consisted primarily of professional fees and payments to independent contractors. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our total operating expenses were $890,546 and $1,279,600, respectively. The majority of the decrease in operating expenses was due to reduced spending on independent contractors. On the other hand, professional fees increased in the second quarter of 2012 as we put together agreements for new business projects and potential investments in our company. Our total operating expenses for all of 2011 were $5,124,215 which includes a director’s stock compensation expense of $2,650,000 which was rescinded on April 13, 2012.
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, we had a net loss of $1,090,519. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $1,279,600. Our net loss for 2011 was $5,124,215 including the director’s stock compensation expense.
Our loss per share during the second quarter of 2012 was nominal. During the second quarter half of 2011, it was nominal and from Inception (March 24, 2011) to December 31, 2011, it was 11 cents per share.
Comparison of the Operating Results for the Six Months ended June 30, 2012 and from Inception (March 24, 2011) to June 30, 2011
For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and from inception to June 30, 2011, we had no revenues.
We incurred total operating expenses (income) of $(992,191) for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to total operating expenses of $1,279,600 for the period from inception to June 30, 2011.
20 |
The decrease in net operating loss for 2012 is due primarily to the offset of the director’s stock compensation of $2,650,000. The $315,276 reduction in consulting fees for 2012 was the result of the move from planning and engineering to actual production of our initial conversion. Otherwise, research and development expenses, professional fees, and general and administrative costs rose by $447,521, $204,783 and $41,181 respectively. The increases for the first two quarters of 2012 were due to production on our initial conversion, product development negotiations with manufacturers, increased fundraising activity and the addition of new legal representation.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a net income of $791,437 (due to the director’s stock compensation offset), or $0.02 per share, as compared to a net operating loss of $1,279,600, or $0.03 per share, for the period from inception to June 30, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, because we did not generate any revenues, we had negative operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of June 30, 2012 was $0. The cash spent during the quarter came primarily from the issuance of notes payable to a related party and a third party. Our monthly cash flow burn rate is approximately $85,000. As a result, we have significant cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.
Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are as follows:
June 30, 2012 (Unaudited) |
December 31, 2011 |
Change | ||||||
Cash | $ | 0 | $ | 78,361 | $ | (78,361) | ||
Total Current Assets | $ | 1,623,839 | $ | 989,950 | $ | 633,889 | ||
Total Assets | $ | 1,688,170 | $ | 1,034,514 | $ | 653,656 | ||
Total Current Liabilities | $ | 1,723,522 | $ | 988,705 | $ | 734,817 | ||
Total Liabilities | $ | 1,723,522 | $ | 988,705 | $ | 734,817 |
Our cash decreased by $78,361 as of June 30, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011 because of the reduction in loans from related parties. Our total current assets, and total assets, increased by $633,889 and $653,656, respectively, during the same periods, in part due to the additional payments for legal services related to our patents which are capitalized as an intangible asset, but also as a result of an increase of $385,347 related to capitalized non-cash financing costs for warrants to secure three separate loans as of June 30, 2012.
Our current liabilities increased by $734,817 as of June 30, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011 primarily because of an increase in accounts payable of $291,424, loans payable of $386,222, and notes payable to a related party of $50,210. Our total liabilities increased by the same $734,817 for the same reasons.
In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.
Cash Requirements
Our cash on hand as of June 30, 2012 was $0. The cash spent during the quarter came primarily from the issuance of notes payable to a related party and loans. Our monthly cash flow burn rate is approximately $85,000. As a result, we have significant cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined) in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(c) and 15d – 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, respectively, concluded that, as of the end of the three and six month period ended June 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion reached by our Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer was a result of improvement over the material weaknesses previously reported in our form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
(b) Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable probability that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012. Based on this assessment, management believes that any weaknesses that do exist are not significant enough to change the conclusion that, as of June 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

1. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions for a company of our size, which is a basic internal control. We use the services of an independent accountant to prepare our financial statements and have engaged a securities attorney to review our filings. Due to our size and nature (a development company with four officers and no employees), segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. We agree that to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. At such time that additional staff and employees are hired, this requirement will be formally addressed.
2. While we believe the current internal controls are adequate for a development company with just four officers and no employees, we recognize these policies and procedures need to be documented in a formal manner in order to meet both current reporting requirements and also to handle expected growth when additional staff and employees are added. This requirement will be addressed on a timely basis.
3. While our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members, on April 6, 2012, we added a director who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. As of this writing, an audit committee has not been formally established. Currently, the qualified director works with the external accountant and external audit firm to insure all reporting is accurate.
Management will continue to control and monitor the company to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
(c) Remediation of Material Weaknesses
To remediate the weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls, we hope to engage a third-party firm to assist us as soon as we generate revenues that cover more than the Company’s immediate needs. Because of current financial restraints, we have not started any remediation as of the date hereof.
(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was a change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. On April 6, 2012, we added our Chief Financial Officer, Quentin Ponder, to the Board. He has a Doctorate in Accounting and Finance and extensive experience in accounting and financial reporting for both small and large public companies.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
