NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
2050 Motors, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 9, 2012, in the state of Nevada to import, market, and sell electric cars manufactured in China. On October 25, 2012, 2050 Motors, Inc., entered into an agreement with Jiangsu Aoxin New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., (“Aoxin”), located in Jiangsu, China, for the distribution in the United States of a new electric automobile, known as the e-Go EV.
Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the SEC’s requirements for Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of (i) the condensed balance sheets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016; (ii) the condensed statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016; and (iii) the condensed statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Condensed balance sheet, included in this report, as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the 2016 audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of deposits in one large national bank. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $1,293 and $11,766 in cash in the United States. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows: tools and equipment, five years; vehicles and parts, three years; leasehold improvements, lesser of lease term or life of related asset; and furniture and fixtures, seven years.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:
September 30, 2017 | December 31, 2016 | |||||||
Furniture & furnishings | $ | 14,303 | $ | 14,303 | ||||
Leasehold improvements | 18,184 | 18,184 | ||||||
Vehicle and parts | 76,045 | 76,045 | ||||||
Tools and equipment | 22,494 | 22,494 | ||||||
Total | 131,027 | 131,026 | ||||||
Less: Accumulated depreciation | (92,244 | ) | (66,076 | ) | ||||
Property, plant and equipment, net | $ | 38,783 | $ | 64,950 |
Depreciation expense was $7,947 and $9,785 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Depreciation expense was $26,167 and $29,585 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
7 |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded. No impairment losses were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term debt and derivative liability, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. We adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.
We have recorded the conversion option on few notes as a derivative liability as a result of the variable conversion price, which in accordance with U.S. GAAP, prevents them from being considered as indexed to our stock and qualified for an exception to derivative accounting.
We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets at fair value. We record changes in the fair value of the derivatives in the accompanying statement of operations.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows as of September 30, 2017:
Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||||||||
Liabilities | ||||||||||||||||
Derivative liability | $ | 761,683 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 761,683 | ||||||||
Total liabilities measured at fair value | $ | 761,683 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 761,683 |
The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining the approximate fair value:
Balance as of December 31, 2016 | $ | 270,075 | ||
Fair value of derivative liabilities issued | 423,035 | |||
Change in derivative liability | 68,573 | |||
Balance as of September 30, 2017 | $ | 761,683 |
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible preferred shares. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, convertible outstanding instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later). During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred losses. Therefore, the effect of any common stock equivalents is anti- dilutive during those periods.

The following table sets for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Advertising and Marketing Costs
Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising and marketing are expensed when incurred and included in selling general and administrative expenses. Advertising and marketing expense amounted to $0 and $69,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Advertising and marketing expense amounted to $0 and $126,841 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that were included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Additionally, the Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure, in filing tax returns. When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income.
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax positions on its tax returns for period ended December 31, 2016 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2016. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from inception to present, generally for three years after they are filed.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash is mainly maintained by one highly qualified institution in the United States. At various times, such amounts are in excess of federally insured limits. Management does not believe that the Company is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company has not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash.
Foreign Currency Risk
Any significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have significant impact on Company’s future financial statements upon fulfilling certain purchase commitments in accordance to the license agreement disclosed in Note 5.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We adopted this ASU in 2016 and the implementation did not have a material impact on our financial position or statement of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”, Subtopic 205-40, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities and require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We adopted this ASU in 2016 and the implementation did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flow.
Note 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported accumulated deficit of $3,618,201 as of September 30, 2017. The Company also incurred net losses of $809,286 and $427,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and had negative working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. To date, these losses and deficiencies have been financed principally through the issuance of common stock, loans from related parties and from third parties.
In view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of capital. We anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months. To the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire properties, and to cover costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional offerings of debt or equity securities. There are no commitments or arrangements for other offerings in place, no guaranties that any such financings would be forthcoming, or as to the terms of any such financings. Any future financing will involve substantial dilution to existing investors.
Note 4 – VEHICLE DEPOSITS
Vehicle deposit of $24,405, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, represents one prototype test model for delivery into the United States in late 2017. This vehicle will undergo an advanced crash test known in the Automobile Safety Industry as the “overlap crash test”.
Note 5 – LICENSE AGREEMENT
In 2012 and 2013, the Company made a total payment of $50,000 and signed an exclusive license agreement with Aoxin to import, assemble and manufacture the advanced carbon fiber electric vehicle, the e-Go EV model. The cost of this license agreement has been recognized as a long-term asset and is evaluated, by management, for impairment losses at each reporting period. As of September 30, 2017, no such impairment losses have been identified by the management.

Note 11 – INCOME TAXES
The Company did not file its tax returns for fiscal years from 2012 through 2016. Management believes that it should not have any material impact on the Company’s financials because the Company did not have any tax liabilities due to net losses incurred during these years.
Based on the available information and other factors, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $3,618,000 and $2,800,000, respectively, expiring beginning in 2032.

Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth as a result of general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events.
Plan of Operation
Prior to the completion of the acquisition of 2050 Motors, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (“2050 Motors”) on May 2, 2014, the Company was a public “shell” company with nominal assets whose sole business was to identify, evaluate, and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge. Upon consummation of the transaction with 2050 Motors, the Company’s business became the business of 2050 Motors, which is the Company’s sole operating subsidiary. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months will be to achieve long-term growth through 2050 Motors.
The Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of 2050 Motors on May 2, 2014. The acquisition was affected pursuant to the terms of a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) entered into on February 5, 2014, by and between the Company, 2050 Motors and Certain Shareholders of 2050 Motors. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of 2050 Motors in exchange for 24,994,670 post-split shares of the Company’s common stock (aggregating approximately 82% of its issued and outstanding common stock).
2050 Motors principal activity is the importation and the marketing and selling of electric automobiles. 2050 Motors, Inc. has an exclusive license, subject to minimum sales requirements, to import, market and sell in the United States, Puerto Rico, the US Territories and Peru, the “e-Go” lightweight carbon fiber allelectric vehicle design and electric light truck, manufactured by Jiangsu Aoxin New Energy Automobile Co., LTD (“Aoxin Automobile”) located in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”). Aoxin Automobile is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dongfeng Motors Corporation (“Dongfeng Motor”) which is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in China, producing over 3.76 million cars and trucks in 2012. Aoxin Automobile was funded by Dongfeng Motors to develop and manufacture a lightweight, super-efficient, carbon fiber e-Go EV electric car (“e-Go EV”). Dongfeng Motor, over a five-year period, invested a substantial amount of money to develop with the support of Italian engineers a new carbon fiber technology to produce carbon fiber parts at a significantly reduced cost. They also developed a lightweight aluminum racing frame to ultimately create the ultralight weight electric automobile known as the e-Go. In 2014, Yancheng Municipal State-Owned Asset Investment Group, Co. Ltd. (YMSIG), an investment and property development company founded by the Yancheng Municipal Government, purchased Aoxin Automobile from Dongfeng Motor, Co. Ltd. YMSIG has made major investments in Aoxin, which funded on a fast track schedule the completion of the e-Go automobile manufacturing facility that culminated in a grand opening ceremony on January 20, 2015.
The e-Go EV is a unique concept electric vehicle. It will be the only production line electric vehicle with a carbon fiber body manufactured by a new process that uses robotics to produce parts, which significantly reduces the production time and cost of carbon fiber components. The carbon fiber composite material is five times stronger than steel, and one third the weight.
The exclusive license contract between 2050 Motors and Aoxin Automobile requires that 2050 Motors complete US crash testing according to US Department of Transportation (“DOT”) safety standards. 2050 Motors has entered into negotiations with Calspan Corporation (“Calspan”). Calspan is committed to the evolution of safety in the air and on the ground, and has assisted in developing new aircraft; training world-class test pilots; performing ground-breaking automobile accident research; and contributing to safety innovations on the ground and in the air over its 70-year history. It’s important to note that one of the three demonstration vehicles shipped to the United States in February 2016 will be used to evaluate this overlap crash test at Calspan’s facilities during the summer of 2016. This will be a definitive evaluation of the effectiveness of the design modifications incorporated into the e-Go EV vehicle. There is no assurance that the e-Go EV will pass this crash test in June 2016 or at any other time.
2050 Motors intends to import vehicles completely fabricated and assembled in China from Aoxin Automobile. 2050 Motors will market the e-Go EV vehicles in designated markets and is not expected to need any raw materials, components or equipment, except spare parts which will be supplied by Aoxin Automobile. However, the e-Go EV and all of its parts and equipment must be DOT approved. After the demonstration vehicles are delivered to the USA, some of the existing parts of the e-Go EV may or may not meet DOT specifications. Aoxin Automobile has made every effort to build the e-Go EV according to American standards. However, there is no certainty that all the parts will be DOT approved. 2050 Motors may elect to secure replacement parts here in the USA or in China for installation either in the United States or in China, if required.

2050 Motors intends to initially sell the e-Go EV to a network of customers primarily in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. 2050 Motors plans to establish a service and parts center, which would be separate from the Showroom. The Showroom facility will be at an area with high volume of people in Las Vegas, where visitors to the city can directly view the e-Go EV. 2050 Motors may also elect to sell the e-Go EV at selected distributors in the Las Vegas Area, which have already provided letters of interest to sell our vehicles. 2050 Motors’ initial plan is not to sell the vehicle outside of the Las Vegas vicinity, consisting of an area within a radius of 100 miles. This is the Company’s current marketing plan in order to effectively market to and support people that work and/or live in Las Vegas. In the metropolitan area of Las Vegas, the population equals 1.9 million.
We are completely dependent on Axion Automotive to supply us with e-Go EV and other trucks and automobiles and parts and components thereto. The inability of Axion Automobile to continue to deliver, or their refusal to deliver such vehicles and parts at prices and volumes acceptable to us would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operating results. Changes in business conditions, global financial instability, wars, governmental changes, and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate, could also affect Aoxin Automobile’s ability to deliver vehicles and/or parts on a timely basis and cause material adverse consequences to 2050 Motors.
Research by Aoxin Automobile over the past five years developed this advanced all-electric vehicle. The e-Go EV is a five-passenger sedan which weighs only 1,450 lbs. with its battery pack included. It will be the first vehicle of this advanced type to be sold in the price range of less than $35,000.
The body components are built out of carbon fiber which is five times stronger than steel and one third its weight constructed over a strong ultralight aluminum frame chassis and race car suspension. This ensures that the vehicle will be one of the safest and strongest ever built for the consumer market. It will also be the most efficient vehicle ever built, capable of achieving 150+ miles to the gallon energy equivalent.
2050 Motors projects expenses associated with its business over the next 6 months to be approximately $1,000,000. The primary cost component will be related to meeting the crash testing requirements of the DOT.
Costs and Resources
The Company believes that its current capital resources and current funding will enable it to maintain its current and planned operations through the next 6 months. The Company anticipates, however, that it will need to raise additional capital in order to sustain and grow its operations over the next few years.
To the extent that the Company’s capital resources are insufficient to meet current or planned operating requirements, the Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees or others, and from other sources, which may have the effect of diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will provide any portion of the Company’s future financing requirements. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or terminate expenditures for certain of its programs that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize. This would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Results of Operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no operating revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred operating expenses of $214,071 consisting primarily of R&D expenses, consulting fees and travel expenses and other general and administrative costs of 2050 Motors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred operating expenses of $414,411. These operating expenses combined with a lack of operating revenues resulted in net losses of $(809,286) and $(427,050) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $(1,065,571) compared to a stockholders’ deficit of $(382,189) as of December 31, 2016. The decrease in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was due to the net loss of $(809,286), the increase of $22,650 of additional paid-in-capital and the issuance of common stock for $2,250 cash, for $10,839 of services rendered and for $90,165 of debt.
Equity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred losses since the inception of business and, as of September 30, 2017, it has an accumulated deficit of $3,618,201. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had a cash balance of $1,293 and a negative working capital of $1,180,959. To date, we have funded our operations through short-term debt and equity financing. During the first nine months of 2017, the Company obtained five convertible promissory notes totaling $217,750 which resulted in a net funding totaling $197,500. In addition, the Company has issued 36,885 shares of common stock for $2,250 cash and 318,502 shares of common stock for services valued at $10,839 and $8,589 in debt. The proceeds from these funding sources were used to pay fees and expenses, to the extent that such expenses are not deferred, arising from the Company’s compliance with its public reporting requirements and to continue to proceed with its business plan to market, develop and sell electric automobiles. The Company also issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock to convert a non-refundable promissory note of $75,000 along with accrued interest accrued on the same of $6,576. The shares issued were recorded at a total value of $81,574 on the date of conversion notice.

We expect our expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable future as a result of increased operational expenses and the development of our automobile business. However, we do not expect to start generating revenues from our operations for another 12 months. Consequently, we are dependent on the proceeds from future debt or equity investments to sustain our operations and implement our business plan. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan, which would have a material adverse effect on our anticipated results from operations and financial condition. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary amounts of additional capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate. As of the date of this Report we did not have any commitments from any source to provide such additional capital. Even if we are able to secure outside financing, it may not be available in the amounts or the times when we require. Furthermore, such financing would likely take the form of bank loans, private placement of debt or equity securities or some combination of these. The issuance of additional equity securities would dilute the stock ownership of current investors while incurring loans, leases or debt would increase our capital requirements and possible loss of valuable assets if such obligations were not repaid in accordance with their terms.
