SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This report contains statements about the future, sometimes referred to as “forward-looking” statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of the words “believe,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “propose,” “plan,” “intend,” and similar words and expressions. Statements that describe our future strategic plans, goals, or objectives are also forward-looking statements.
Readers of this report are cautioned that any forward-looking statements, including those regarding us or our management’s current beliefs, expectations, anticipations, estimations, projections, strategies, proposals, plans, or intentions, are not guarantees of future performance or results of events and involve risks and uncertainties, such as:
●
|
whether we will be able to obtain additional amounts of capital from external sources in order to expand our product offerings and introduce newly developed products into new markets;
|
●
|
whether the substantial amounts we need to spend for product development will enable us to penetrate new markets and expand sales;
|
●
|
whether we will be able to overcome our low stock price to obtain equity capital on favorable terms;
|
●
|
whether we will be able to overcome the general downturn in the economy to expand our markets and increase revenues;
|
●
|
whether recently adopted national healthcare legislative reform will adversely affect the particular segments of the industry in which we are engaged;
|
●
|
whether our efforts to protect our intellectual properties will be successful;
|
●
|
whether our intellectual properties interfere with the intellectual properties of others; and
|
●
|
whether we will be able to engage and retain qualified technical and executive personnel.
|
The forward-looking information is based on present circumstances and on our predictions respecting events that have not occurred, that may not occur, or that may occur with different consequences from those now assumed or anticipated. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date of this report.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Nature of Business
We specialize in providing business information technology (IT) solutions to our customers. We optimize business and IT processes by using systems engineering methodologies, strategic planning, and system integration to add efficiency and value to our customers’ business processes and to help our customers identify critical success factors in their business.
We provide business IT solutions primarily to the healthcare industry. We are expanding our service offerings into select other professional industries as we are able to commercialize product ideas for developing markets. During 2014, we attempted to expand marketing of our previous radio-frequency identification, or RFID, research and development to: address location tracking issues in the healthcare industry, including issues surrounding patient care; optimize business processes for healthcare providers; improve reporting of incidents; and increase revenues for provided services.
Before devoting our principal attention to the development of RFID-based healthcare products, we were mainly a value-added reseller for McKesson Corporation healthcare software and service packages. We sold, installed, implemented, supported, and trained on the following McKesson products: Medisoft Clinical, Lytec MD, and Total Practice Partners. McKesson Corporation, currently ranked 11th on the Fortune 500, is one of the largest healthcare companies in the world.
2014 Activities
As we continued to regroup following Mr. Hempstead’s death in 2013, we increased our efforts to obtain external assistance to advance commercialization of our Silver Key Solutions and ChargeCatcher products. We initiated substantive discussions with a firm that built and developed healthcare facilities in Idaho Falls, Boise, Omaha, and Reno, with an additional facility planned in Portland. Two of those facilities had been the beta-test sites for the Silver Key Solutions installation for over a year. We installed our hardware system at the facility and used our patented software products to generate billing reports to Medicare to obtain payment for work the nurses did with the patients, as detected and documented by Silver Key Solutions.
In mid-2014, we discussed with the operator of these facilities the possibility of it purchasing our company in order to facilitate installation of Silver Key Solutions and ChargeCatcher in all of its facilities and to fund large-scale commercial, widespread marketing of these products. These discussions continued over several months, but our legacy debt proved to be an insurmountable hurdle to proceeding with that transaction. The discussions about a possible transaction stalled and were eventually abandoned in late 2014.
During 2014, we also initiated discussions with Jeremy P. Feakins to provide management and entrepreneurial services, as well as new funding as a bridge to marketing our Silver Key Solutions and ChargeCatcher products on the East Coast. Mr. Feakins developed a possible entrée into this market with a residential healthcare provider. He proposed the installation of Silver Key Solutions and ChargeCatcher in the combined rehabilitation service, ancillary senior care services, and senior care facilities of that provider and its affiliates as a platform for third-party sales and installations. However, that provider required that we reorganize our legacy debt and bring current our periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As we focused our efforts to complete strategic relationships with long-term benefit, our own operations suffered. During 2014, we had revenue of $8,347 and paid research and development costs of $341. We were actively engaged in operations related to our core products, which consisted in large part of finding partners to continue the late-Mr. Hempstead’s vision for our success.
2
Product Lines
In previous years, our research and development team, using a unique combination of radio-frequency, electrical, firmware, software, database, and systems engineering expertise, created complete, integrated business IT solutions, including hardware devices worn by individuals, communications equipment, complex databases, and software systems that provide advanced reporting and analysis tools. These solutions fall into four major categories:
(1) Silver Key Solution
(2) ChargeCatcher Revenue Recovery Services
(3) Healthcare Software Solutions
(4) Consulting Services
Silver Key Solution
In 2011, we established our first two beta-test sites for our healthcare RFID solutions that include automatic patient fall detection, motion detection, identification of location within a facility, and proximity of facility employee to facility resident. We branded this product line as the Silver Key Solution.
In 2012, we established our first contracts for our Silver Key Solution services and continued to enhance the product offering to address the concerns of various transitional care, assisted living, and nursing care facilities. Toward the end of 2012, we neared completion of operational beta-testing of this product line.
As 2013 began, we continued our contract to provide Silver Key Solutions to two Idaho rehabilitation facilities. After Mr. Hempstead’s death in 2013, we were unable to continue support for this product and removed the product from the facilities.
During 2014, we sought funding and strategic relationships with long-term benefit to continue operations related to our Silver Key Solutions products.
ChargeCatcher Revenue Recovery Services
In 2011, we introduced a new proprietary product and associated services called ChargeCatcher. ChargeCatcher specifically targets revenue recovery in hospital environments. ChargeCatcher augments a hospital staff’s ability to capture lost revenue due to data-entry errors, missing charge sheets, or other process errors. We perform advanced data mining and statistical correlation methodologies on a hospital’s chargeable items, while also employing artificial intelligence algorithms, to identify services and materials that were expended but never billed. By reviewing the identified missed charges, hospitals can correct their processes going forward.
ChargeCatcher fees are set on a contingency basis in which we are paid a percentage of the recovered additional revenue. This revenue model protects our customers if they have little lost revenue, while it benefits us for high-quality data analysis that results in identifying increased lost revenue.
As research and development of this product progressed, in late 2012 we began a beta-site installation to gain real-time operating experience in the use of ChargeCatcher.
After Mr. Hempstead’s death in 2013, we were unable to continue support for this project, and discontinued the beta test.
3
Healthcare Solutions
Until late 2013, we were a value-added reseller for McKesson Corporation healthcare software and service packages. We sell, install, implement, support, and train on the following McKesson products: Medisoft Clinical, Lytec MD, and Total Practice Partner.
Consulting Services
Before we reduced our staff, we provided consulting services to customers needing assistance with various aspects of their IT services. We also offered enterprise IT assessments, policy and procedure review and creation, IT strategic planning, and project management and planning.
Research and Development
We incurred costs of $341 and $60,878 for research and development for our continuing operations during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, we routinely completed customer-required engineering and related developmental activities in connection with the delivery of various customized products that indirectly support our research and development effort.
Intellectual Property
We believe our intellectual properties are critical to our business and growth. We rely on trade secret protection; confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, customers, and others with whom we interact; and patent laws to protect our proprietary rights. We do not believe that our business IT solutions segment is dependent upon, or obtains a competitive advantage from, our patents or that the expiration of any patent would materially affect our business.
We frequently review our research and development efforts and product identification needs to consider whether we should seek additional patent or trademark protection for new developments or product offerings. In May 2013, we completed and filed a patent application covering components of the Silver Key Solution processes. We cannot assure whether any patent will be issued.
We do not believe that any of our products or other proprietary rights infringe upon the rights of third parties. However, we cannot assure that others may not assert infringement claims against us in the future and recognize that any such assertion may require us to incur legal and other defense costs, enter into compromise royalty arrangements, or terminate the use of some technologies. Further, we may be required to incur legal and other costs to protect our proprietary rights against infringement by third parties.
Employees
As of December 31, 2014, we had no employees.
Government Regulation; Environmental Compliance
Our activities are not subject to present or expected probable material governmental regulation, including environmental laws.
Competition
The market for IT services and products is intensely competitive and highly fragmented, with minimal barriers to entry. We expect competition to increase in the future, and we cannot assure that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
4
Potential competitors may have substantially greater research and product development capabilities and financial, technical, marketing, and human resources than we have. As a result, these competitors may:
●
|
succeed in developing products that are equal to or superior to our products or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products;
|
●
|
devote greater resources to developing, marketing, or selling their products;
|
●
|
respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies or technical advances and changes in customer requirements, which could render our technologies or products obsolete;
|
●
|
introduce products that make the continued development of our current and future products uneconomical;
|
●
|
obtain patents that block or otherwise inhibit our ability to develop and commercialize our products;
|
●
|
withstand price competition more successfully than we can;
|
●
|
establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that enhance their ability to address the needs of our prospective customers; and
|
●
|
take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities more readily than we can.
|
In our business IT solutions segment, we believe competition is based principally on providing resourceful creative solutions at competitive prices with quick, responsive service. We cannot assure that our efforts to meet these competitive factors will be successful.
Subsequent Events
Credit Card Obligations
We were responsible for reimbursing Dave Hempstead, our chief executive officer, principal financial officer, and director, for personal credit card account expenditures on our behalf. The balance due on these credit card accounts was $261,609 as of the date of Mr. Hempstead’s death on April 26, 2013. The credit card companies have not sought collection from assets owned jointly with Mr. Hempstead’s surviving spouse, who in turn advised us on July 15, 2015, that she will not seek reimbursement from us unless the credit card companies hereafter seek payment. The full amount of this liability has been recorded and disclosed as part of accounts payable and will continue to be accrued until the statute of limitations is met.
Consolidation of Convertible Notes Payable to Related Parties
On March 19, 2015, we exchanged convertible notes payable to our officers and directors in the aggregate principal amount of $320,246, plus accrued but unpaid interest of $74,134, for an aggregate of $394,380 as of December 31, 2014, into a single, $394,380 consolidated convertible note dated December 31, 2014. The new consolidated convertible note has payment and other terms identical to the notes exchanged, except that the conversion provisions were changed from a conversion price to be equal to the stock’s fair value as of the conversion date to a fixed conversion price under the consolidated note of $0.025 per share, the approximate market price of our common stock as of the date of the issuance of the consolidated note in March 2015. The note is due and payable within 90 days after demand. See Note 5–Convertible Notes Payable to Related Parties.

2015 Investment and Merger Agreements
On March 23, 2015, we entered into an Investment Agreement dated March 12, 2015, with JPF Venture Group, Inc. (“JPF”) and an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 12, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) with OTE. Before entering into these agreements, there was no material relationship between us and our affiliates and either JPF or OTE and their respective affiliates.
Investment Agreement
Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, JPF purchased for $100,000 in cash 29,372,277 shares of our common stock at $0.003405 per share (the “JPF Stock”) and a warrant to purchase up to 1,033,585 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.003 per share. JPF is an investment entity that is majority-owned by Jeremy P. Feakins (“Feakins”), the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OTE. The JPF Stock represents a 55% ownership interest by JPF in us, without giving effect to the issuance of additional shares of our common stock on the conversion of outstanding convertible notes.
JPF’s investment is being used principally to initiate and pursue an updated technical and commercialization review of our intellectual properties with a view toward possible broadened marketing introduction and, in general, advance our business activities and to bring our regulatory filings current. The terms of the Investment Agreement provide that, if the Merger (as defined below) with OTE is consummated, 100% of the JPF Stock will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares. The purpose of this intended cancellation is to ensure that our current stockholders (excluding JPF) retain a 5% interest in the post-Merger company. If the Merger is not consummated, the JPF Stock will remain outstanding, and JPF will maintain its position as a 55% stockholder in us.
Concurrently with the execution of the Investment Agreement, Antoinette Knapp Hempstead and the estate of her late husband, David W. Hempstead (together, the “Hempsteads”), JPF, and Feakins entered into an agreement whereby, among other things: (i) JPF agreed to execute supplemental guarantees for the Hempsteads in connection with certain debt obligations to economic development entities owed by us and guaranteed by the Hempsteads; (ii) the Hempsteads transferred to JPF the consolidated convertible note payable by us to the Hempsteads with an outstanding principal balance of $394,380 as of December 31, 2014, together with accrued and unpaid payroll of $213,436, for a total of $607,816; and (iii) the Hempsteads returned to us for cancellation 1,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which were cancelled. We have filed a Certificate of Withdrawal of Certificate of Designation for the preferred stock with the Nevada Secretary of State.
As required by the Investment Agreement, two designees of JPF, Feakins and Peter Wolfson, were appointed as our directors to replace incumbent directors Orville J. Hendrickson and Larry J. Ybarrondo, who resigned. See below.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
Merger Terms. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we would acquire OTE (the “Merger”) as follows: (i) we would organize a wholly owned subsidiary that would merge with and into OTE, with OTE continuing as the surviving corporation and as our wholly owned subsidiary; and (ii) each share of OTE common stock outstanding or issuable on the conversion of outstanding notes and exercise of warrants (other than shares owned by stockholders who dissent to the transaction) immediately before the Merger, would be converted into the right to receive one newly issued share of our common stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.
6
Conditions to Completion of Merger. The completion of the Merger would constitute the offer and sale of our securities to the stockholders of OTE, which can only be effected if a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective or an exemption from registration is available. We have determined to seek an exemption from registration under the Securities Act by meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(10) of this statute, which exempts from registration securities issued when the terms and conditions of the issuance are approved, after hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions meeting certain requirements by, among others, a duly authorized administrative agency. In an effort to meet these requirements, we have filed an application for a fairness hearing to be held pursuant to the provisions of Section 25142 of the California Securities Law (the “Fairness Hearing”) so that the issuance of the securities to complete the Merger will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.
The California application for a Fairness Hearing is now pending. The Fairness Hearing and permitting application are significant and quite technical, and the determination of whether the Merger will meet the California fairness requirements will be subject to the discretion of the hearing officer. No assurance can be given as to whether or not the hearing will result in the denial of the application, an adjustment of the terms of the Merger, the issuance of a permit meeting the conditions of the Securities Act Section 3(a)(10) exemption, or other action.
If California issues a permit availing us of the exemption under the Securities Act Section 3(a)(10) and the other conditions to closing the Merger are met, the Merger will be completed promptly thereafter. If California does not issue the permit or the other Merger conditions are not satisfied: (i) the Merger Agreement will terminate; (ii) we and OTE will remain as separate companies; and (iii) JPF will continue as the 55% controlling stockholder of our stock as it seeks to advance commercialization of its technologies or pursue other opportunities.
Completion of the Merger is also conditioned on the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the respective parties to the Merger Agreement, the satisfaction of certain conditions, and other covenants, many of which may be waived by either party.
Reverse Split to Facilitate Merger. We currently have an authorized capitalization of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. With 24.0 million shares outstanding immediately preceding the Merger, after giving effect to JPF’s return of 24,031,863 shares issued under the Investment Agreement for cancellation immediately preceding the closing of the Merger, we do not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares to convey 95% ownership of our stock to the OTE stockholders as agreed to complete the Merger, which would require the issuance of 369.9 million shares at closing and the reservation of about 86.7 shares for issuance on the conversion of outstanding notes and the exercise of outstanding warrants. Accordingly, immediately preceding the Merger, we will effect a 1-for-4.6972 reverse-stock-split of our common stock (the “Reverse Split”) by filing an amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State. This amendment will also increase our authorized common stock to 200,000,000 shares.
As a result of the Reverse Split, each record holder of less than 4.6972 shares of our common stock immediately before the Reverse Split (collectively, the “Minority Stockholders”) will receive from us, cash in the amount of $0.03 per share of our common stock, without interest (which includes a 20% premium over the fair market value of $0.025 per share as of March 3, 2015, as determined by our board of directors), for each share of our common stock held immediately before the Reverse Split, and the Minority Stockholders will no longer be our stockholders. Each record holder of 4.6972 or more shares of our common stock immediately before the Reverse Split will own approximately one-fifth of the number of shares of our common stock held by such stockholder immediately before the Reverse Split.
7
Post-Merger Business of OTE and our Company. OTE is developing deep-water hydrothermal technologies to provide renewable energy and drinkable water. OTE’s Sea Water Air Conditioning (“SWAC”) technology takes advantage of the difference between cold deep water and warmer surface water to produce hydrothermal energy without requiring fossil fuels. OTE has recently broken ground on a SWAC project at the upscale Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas. This project, believed to be the first large-scale seawater air conditioning system in the Bahamas, is scheduled to be completed and in service in 2016.
OTE is interested in the commercial potential of proprietary technologies being developed by us as opportunities for future business diversification. Further, OTE recognizes that our status as a company that is subject to the periodic reporting requirements pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act may enhance its access to the capital markets to fund future projects.
After the Merger, the combined enterprise intends to continue opportunistically to develop the lines of business of both TetriDyn and OTE as commercial opportunities are identified for one, the other, or both, after considering funding availability, potential financial returns, and related risks.
Our Ownership Following the Merger and Reverse Split. As a result of the Investment Agreement, JPF now owns 55% of our common stock and is our principal creditor pursuant to the consolidated convertible note with an outstanding principal balance of $394,380 as of December 31, 2014, and accrued and unpaid payroll of $213,436, for a total of $607,816.
If the Merger is completed, the JPF Stock purchased pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be cancelled and returned to us, and the former OTE stockholders will own 95% of our outstanding common stock (after giving effect to the exercise of OTE warrants and the conversion of OTE notes). The pre-Merger company stockholders will have a 5% interest in the post-Merger company, and the officers and directors of OTE will be the officers and directors of the post-Merger company.
Change in Directors and Management
On March 23, 2015, in connection with the Investment Agreement, Orville J. Hendrickson and Larry J. Ybarrondo resigned their positions on our board of directors, and Feakins and Peter Wolfson (as nominees of JPF) were appointed by board consent to our board. Antoinette Knapp Hempstead, who was a board member before March 23, 2015, continues as a director. The resignations of Messrs. Hendrickson and Ybarrondo are not the result of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies, or practices. See Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 8, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Change of Office Location
In connection with the above transactions, in March 2015, our offices were relocated to the facilities of JPF at 800 South Queen Street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania 17603, telephone number (717) 715-0238, where we share offices with OTE at no charge to us.
2015 Convertible Note Payable to Related-Party
On June 23, 2015, we borrowed $50,000 from our principal stockholder, JPF, pursuant to a promissory note. The terms of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per annum; (ii) the note is payable 90 days after demand; and (iii) payee is authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into shares of our common stock at their fair market value at the time of conversion. JPF is an investment entity that is majority-owned by Feakins, our director, chief executive officer, and chief financial officer.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the negative implications of all information and financial data included in or referred to directly in this periodic report, you should consider the following risk factors. This periodic report contains forward-looking statements and information concerning us, our plans, and other future events. Those statements should be read together with the discussion of risk factors set forth below, because those risk factors could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.
The auditors’ report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The report of our auditors on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as for prior years, contains an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will need to reorganize and expand our management.
Since the April 2013 unexpected death of David Hempstead, we have sought to expand our management to obtain critical technological, management, and fundraising skills that we believe will be important to our business. We continue that effort in order to advance the scaled commercialization of our principal products, but cannot predict when or whether we will be able to recruit and maintain additional personnel with required marketing and technology support skills.
We will require substantial amounts of additional capital from external sources.
We will require substantial additional funds to complete development and marketing of our Silver Key Solution products and to expand marketing of our ChargeCatcher product. The extent of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including competing technological and market developments; effective commercialization activities; establishment of strategic alliances, joint ventures, or other collaborative arrangements; and other factors not within our control. We anticipate that we will seek required funds from external sources.
We may seek required funds through the sale of equity or other securities. Our ability to complete an offering on acceptable terms will depend on many factors, including the condition of the securities markets generally and for companies such as our company at the time of an offering; the business, financial condition, and prospects at the time of the proposed offering; our ability to identify and reach a satisfactory arrangement with prospective underwriters; and various other factors, many of which are outside our control. Our efforts to raise equity capital will be adversely affected by the low trading price of our common stock. We cannot assure that we will be able to complete an offering on terms favorable to us or at all. The issuance of additional equity securities may dilute the interest of our existing stockholders or may subordinate their rights to the superior rights of new investors.
9
We may also seek additional capital through strategic alliances, joint ventures, or other collaborative arrangements. Any such relationships may dilute our interest in any specific project and decrease the amount of revenue that we may receive from the project. We cannot assure that we will be able to negotiate any strategic investment or obtain required additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned because of the results of future research and development; results of product testing; potential relationships with our strategic or collaborative partners; changes in the focus and direction of our research and development programs; competition and technological advances; issues related to patent or other protection for proprietary technologies; and other factors.
If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate our planned marketing efforts; to obtain funds through arrangements with strategic or collaborative partners that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, product candidates, or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves; or to license our rights to such products on terms that are less favorable to us than might otherwise be available.
Product development still comprises a substantial part of our operations, and we face significant technological uncertainties.
Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays, problems, and difficulties that we may encounter in entering new markets with our business IT solutions, including:
●
|
our ability to maintain and expand a sales network to expose our product to potential customers and to complete sales;
|
●
|
our ability to manage our limited working capital;
|
●
|
our ability to scale systems and fulfillment capabilities to accommodate any growth of our business;
|
●
|
our ability to meet competition;
|
●
|
our ability to access and obtain additional capital when required;
|
●
|
our ability to develop and maintain strategic relationships; and
|
●
|
our dependence upon key personnel.
|
We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be successful or that it will successfully address these risks.
Recently adopted national healthcare legislation may adversely affect our business.
The recently adopted national healthcare legislation will implement a number of changes in the way healthcare is delivered and paid for in the United States, which may result in market disruptions and other currently unforeseen circumstances that may limit or reduce the demand for our services or the ability of our current and future customers to pay for them. We cannot predict the potential negative impact of these legislative reforms on our business.
10
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose a valuable asset or incur costly litigation to protect our rights.
Our success will depend, in part, upon our intellectual property rights. Litigation to enforce intellectual property rights or to protect trade secrets could result in substantial costs and may not be successful. Any inability to protect intellectual property rights could seriously harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Our means of protecting our intellectual property rights in the United States or abroad may not be adequate to fully protect those intellectual property rights.
Claims that we infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others could be costly to defend or settle.
Litigation regarding intellectual property rights is common in the software industry. We expect that software technologies and services may be increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims as the number of competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products and services in different industry segments overlaps. We may, from time to time, encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. Although we believe that our intellectual property rights will be sufficient to allow us to market products and services without incurring third-party liability, third parties may bring claims of infringement against us. These claims may or may not have merit. Any litigation to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. Furthermore, a party making a claim could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages. A judgment could also include an injunction or other court order that could prevent us from selling products or services. Our business, operating results, and financial condition could be harmed if any of these events occurred.
We will need to hire and retain a number of key employees who may be difficult to find.
Roll-out of our products may require us to hire additional personnel, including software engineers, systems engineers, customer support personnel, marketing personnel, and operational personnel. Competition for these individuals is intense, and we may not be able to attract or retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. The failure to attract, motivate, and retain these additional employees could seriously harm our business.
Any substantial increase in sales will require skilled management of growth.
As our operations expand, our success will depend on our ability: to manage continued growth, including integration of our executive officers, directors, and consultants into an effective management and technical team; to formulate strategic alliances, joint ventures, or other collaborative arrangements with third parties; to commercialize and market our proposed products and services; and to monitor and manage these relationships on a long-term basis. If our management is unable to integrate these resources and manage growth effectively, the quality of our products and services, our ability to retain key personnel, and the results of our operations would be materially and adversely affected.
If we provide software products that are unreliable, we could lose customers and revenues.
Software products may contain unknown and undetected errors or performance problems. Many serious defects in software products are frequently found during the period immediately following introduction of new or enhancements to existing products. Although we will attempt to resolve all errors we believe our customers would consider serious, no technology is error-free. Undetected errors or performance problems may be discovered after customers begin using our products. This could result in lost revenues or delays in customer acceptance and could be detrimental to our reputation, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.
11
We will be exposed to the risk of product liability.
The implementation of our business plan entails risks of product liability. We will seek to obtain product liability insurance, but we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain such insurance or, if we are able to do so, that we will be able to do so at rates that will make it cost-effective. Any successful product liability claim made against us could substantially reduce or eliminate any economic return to us or our stockholders and could have a significant adverse impact on our future.
If we become subject to service-related liability claims, they could be time-consuming and costly to defend.
Because our customers will use our products and services for mission-critical applications in the medical and other fields, any errors, defects, or other performance problems could result in liability or financial or other damages to our customers. They could seek damages for losses from us that, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition. Although we intend for our agreements with customers to contain provisions designed to limit exposure to service-related liability claims, existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial decisions could negate these limitations of liability provisions. A service-related liability claim brought against us, even if unsuccessful, could be time-consuming, costly to defend, and harm our reputation.
We are authorized to issue substantial additional shares of stock, which would dilute the ownership of our stockholders.
We have authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Of these, 24,031,863 shares of common stock and 1,200,000 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2014. Our board of directors also has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares. Any such issuance will dilute the percentage ownership of stockholders and may further dilute the book value of the shares of common stock.
Penny stock regulations will impose certain restrictions on resales of our securities, which may cause an investor to lose some or all of its investment.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted regulations that generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share that is not traded on a national securities exchange or that has an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. As a result, our common stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction before the purchase. Further, if the price of the stock is below $5.00 per share and the issuer does not have $2.0 million or more net tangible assets or is not listed on a registered national securities exchange, sales of such stock in the secondary trading market are subject to certain additional rules promulgated by the SEC. These rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of penny stocks provide customers with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and asked prices, and disclosure of the compensation to the broker-dealer and the salesperson working for the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction. These rules and regulations may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock, thereby effectively limiting the liquidity of our common stock. These rules may also adversely affect the ability of persons that acquire our common stock to resell their securities in any trading market that may exist at the time of an intended sale.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to reinvest any future earnings to further expand our business. We estimate that, as of December 31, 2014, we had approximately 820 stockholders.
Issuance of Common Stock to Directors
In March 2013, we issued 275,000 shares of common stock to each of our two outside directors (550,000 total shares) for their services valued at the fair value on the date of grant of $11,000. We also granted 450,000 shares of common stock to our employees and two consultants for their services at the fair value on the date of grant of $9,000.
These issuances were effected in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving a public offering. The recipients of the stock are our outside directors, who are accredited investors, and our employees. The securities were acquired for investment and bear a restrictive legend. The transactions were effected through direct communications between the recipients and our executive officers. No cash proceeds were received by us in this issuance, and no underwriter participated in the transactions.
Equity Compensation Plans
We have no equity compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
This item is not applicable to our company.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed elsewhere in this report.
Certain information included herein contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, such as statements relating to our anticipated revenues, gross margin and operating results, future performance and operations, plans for future expansion, capital spending, sources of liquidity, and financing sources. This forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, and accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These risks and uncertainties include those relating to our liquidity requirements, the continued growth of the software industry, the success of our product development, marketing and sales activities, vigorous competition in the software industry, dependence on existing management, leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates), domestic or global economic conditions, the inherent uncertainty and costs of prolonged arbitration or litigation, and changes in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws.

Overview
We optimize business and IT processes by using systems engineering methodologies, strategic development, and integration to add efficiency and value to our customers’ business processes and to help our customers identify critical success factors in their business.
We provide business IT solutions to the healthcare industry. We are expanding our service offerings into select other professional industries as those markets develop and as we develop new applications for our integrated system of radio-frequency identification and software solutions for tracking, management, and diagnostic systems.
Description of Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for accounting, administration, finance, human resources, and information systems.
Professional fees expenses consist primarily of fees related to legal, outside accounting, auditing, and investor relations services.
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising, promotional activities, trade shows, travel, and personnel-related expenses.
Research and development expenses consist of payroll and related costs for software engineers, management personnel, and the costs of materials used by these employees in the development of new or enhanced product offerings.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established. Internally generated, capitalizable software development costs have not been material to date. We have charged our software development costs to research and development expense in our statements of operations.
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in the results of operations when realized.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
Revenues
Our revenue was $8,347 and $122,319 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $113,972, or 93%, in 2013. The decrease in revenue in 2014 was due to discontinuation of our services and software sales in 2014.
15
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue was $3,099 and $43,428 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $40,329, or 93%, in 2014. The gross margin percentage on revenue was 63% and 64% for 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin percentage for 2014 was due to the reduction in sales while keeping a certain level of support available for the first three months of 2014.
Although the net changes and percent changes for our revenues and our cost of revenue for 2014 and 2013 are summarized above, these trends should not be viewed as a definitive indication of our future results.
Operating Expenses and Other Expenses
General and administrative expenses for our continuing operations, including noncash compensation expense, were $19,387 and $112,933 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $93,546, or 83%, in 2014. The decrease in our general and administrative expenses in 2014, as compared to 2013, reflects the discontinuation of our services and general operations during 2014.
Professional fees expenses for our continuing operations, including noncash compensation expense, were $33,759 and $18,683 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing an increase of $15,076, or 81%, in 2014. The increase in our professional fees expenses from 2014, as compared to 2013, reflects additional legal fees associated with merger negotiations in 2014.
Selling and marketing expenses for our continuing operations, including noncash compensation expense, were $0 and $5,527 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $5,527, or 100%, in 2014. The decrease in our selling and marketing expenses from 2014, as compared to 2013, reflects the discontinuation of our services and general operations during 2014.
Research and development expenses for our continuing operations, including noncash compensation expense, were $341 and $60,878 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $60,537, or 99%, in 2014. The decrease in research and development expenses in 2014, as compared to 2013, reflects the discontinuation of our services and general operations during 2014.
Interest expense was $51,110 and $66,252 in 2014 and 2013, respectively, a decrease of $15,142, or 23%, in 2014. The decrease in interest expense from 2014, as compared to 2013, was due to fewer fees associated with credit cards that had balances forgiven with the death of our president since the credit cards were under his name.
Gain on sale of fixed assets was $0 and $12,250 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the gain on sale of fixed assets was due to the sale of the company vehicle in 2013.
Gain on sale of securities was $75,000 and $0 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the gain on sale of securities resulted from the sale of the Southfork Solution’s securities for $75,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2014, our principal source of liquidity for our continuing operations consisted of $178 of cash, as compared to $11,458 of cash at December 31, 2013. In addition, our stockholders’ deficit was $1,383,579 at December 31, 2014, compared to stockholders’ deficit of $1,375,974 at December 31, 2013, an increase in the deficit of $7,605.
16
Our operations used net cash of $86,280 during 2014, as compared to using net cash of $750 during 2013. The $85,530 increase in the net cash used in our operating activities during 2014 primarily resulted from in-kind contributions of rent and salaries in 2013 compared to 2014 and reduction of accounts payable.
Investing activities for our continuing operations provided $75,000 and $12,250 net cash in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase of net cash provided by investing activities in 2014 resulted from the sale of securities in 2014.
Financing activities for our operations used no net cash during 2014, compared to using net cash of $899 during 2013. The decrease of $899 of net cash used in financing activities was due to no loan payments being made in 2014.
We are focusing our efforts on increasing revenue while we explore external funding alternatives as our current cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months. We expect that additional sales will enable us to increase our payments on indebtedness and support the development of other products. Although our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we feel that our revenues are sufficient for our IT business solutions segment to continue as a going concern. However, in order to expand our product offerings, we expect that we will require additional investments and sales.
As we continue development of new products and identify specific commercialization opportunities, we will focus on those product markets and opportunities for which we might be able to get external funding through joint venture agreements, strategic partnerships, or other direct investments.
We have no significant contractual obligations or commercial commitments not reflected on our balance sheet as of this date.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the notes to our December 31, 2014, consolidated financial statements. Note that our preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We cannot assure that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from software licenses and related installation and support services is recognized when earned and realizable. Revenue is earned and realizable when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services, if requested by the customers, have been rendered and are determinable; and ability to collect is reasonably assured. Amounts billed to customers before these criteria being met are deferred. Revenue from the sale of software is recognized when delivered to the customer or upon installation of the software if an installation contract exists. Revenue from post-contract telephone support service contracts is recognized as the services are provided, determined on an hourly basis.
17
Revenue applicable to multiple-element fee arrangements is divided among the software, the installation, and post-contract support service contracts using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, as evidenced by the prices charged when the software and the services are sold as separate products or arrangements.
Income Taxes
We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on the amount of operating loss carry-forwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The proposed ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, would supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update would supersede some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition–Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest–Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. For public companies, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
18
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other–Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If such an arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for it as a service contract. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities.”

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to in this periodic report as our Certifying Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2014, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance as of December 31, 2014, because certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted material weaknesses, as discussed below. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, and management does not believe that the material weaknesses had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the current reporting period.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
A system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the system will meet its objectives. The design of a control system is based, in part, upon the benefits of the control system relative to its costs. Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. In addition, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control of over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of December 31, 2014, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control—Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance respecting financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
20
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
Based on our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2014.
As of December 31, 2014, management identified the following material weaknesses:
●
|
Control Environment—We did not maintain an effective control environment for internal control over financial reporting.
|
●
|
Segregation of Duties—As a result of limited resources and staff, we did not maintain proper segregation of incompatible duties. The effect of the lack of segregation of duties potentially affects multiple processes and procedures.
|
●
|
Entity Level Controls—We failed to maintain certain entity-level controls as defined by the framework issued by COSO. Specifically, our lack of staff does not allow us to effectively maintain a sufficient number of adequately trained personnel necessary to anticipate and identify risks critical to financial reporting. There is a risk that a material misstatement of the financial statements could be caused, or at least not be detected in a timely manner, due to lack of adequate staff with such expertise.
|
●
|
Access to Cash—One executive had debit cards for most of our bank accounts and the ability to transfer from our bank accounts.
|
These weaknesses are continuing. Management and the board of directors are aware of these weaknesses that result because of limited resources and staff. Management has begun the process of formally documenting our key processes as a starting point for improved internal control over financial reporting. Efforts to fully implement the processes we have designed have been put on hold due to limited resources, but we anticipate a renewed focus on this effort in the near future. Due to our limited financial and managerial resources, we cannot assure when we will be able to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Antoinette Knapp Hempstead served as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board, which she assumed upon the death of David W. Hempstead, and has been our Secretary/Treasurer and a director since our share-exchange transaction in 2006. Previously, Ms. Hempstead had served as the Chief Technology Officer, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and a director of our subsidiary. Ms. Hempstead administers all of our corporate and finance activities. Ms. Hempstead also directs our software development activities and coordinates product development with marketing and sales. Ms. Hempstead has 30 years of experience in management, finance, software management, and software development. Ms. Hempstead has also served as adjunct faculty for University of Idaho where she taught Computer Science courses. Education: MS, Computer Science, University of Idaho; BS, Applied Mathematics, University of Idaho. Ms. Hempstead provides to our board of directors experience in software development and project management, as well as experience in financial statement preparation and regulatory reporting.
Orville J. Hendrickson became one of our directors upon consummation of our share-exchange transaction in 2006, having been a director of our subsidiary since July 2004. Mr. Hendrickson had served as a valued advisor to our subsidiary from its inception in providing contacts and advice in legal, accounting, technical, and business areas. Mr. Hendrickson serves on our board’s compensation committee. He is a retired Lieutenant Colonel for the U.S. Air Force and spent three years teaching Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington. Mr. Hendrickson served for 38 years as Executive Vice President and 50% owner of Industrial Contractor, Inc., a specialty mechanical construction company that completed over $1 billion in today’s dollars of successful contracts and was the sixth company in America to receive the original Nuclear Construction ASME Stamp. Mr. Hendrickson continues to pursue new ventures by starting Productrade Insumos Organicos Occidente S de RL de CV, a Mexican enterprise, in which patented organic soil is developed, in addition to developing organic polymer that allows farmers to raise produce with 60% savings of the water required and with approximately 30% time savings from planting to maturity. Education: BS, Mechanical Engineering (with nine additional minors including Accounting and Mathematics), University of Washington. Mr. Hendrickson was chosen to become a director principally due to his decades-long experience as an executive in managing enterprises with large long-term private and government contracts and his entrepreneurial skills in starting new businesses.
22
Larry J. Ybarrondo, Ph.D. became one of our directors upon consummation of our share-exchange transaction in 2006, having been a director of our subsidiary since July 2004. Dr. Ybarrondo serves on the board’s compensation committee. Dr. Ybarrondo founded and built SCIENTECH, Inc., a 1,200-person, national, high-technology engineering services company with offices in over 30 cities and six foreign countries. His work experience includes responsibility for operation of four nuclear reactor facilities, major advisory and programmatic roles for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and a broad range of general management issues, including planning, facility design, construction, fabrication, and modification. Customer responsiveness, excellence in performance, safety, training, maintenance, and total quality management were strongly emphasized in Dr. Ybarrondo’s work. Dr. Ybarrondo has over 30 years’ experience in the technological, operational, and managerial aspects of nuclear reactor technology. His experience has included senior management positions with a national laboratory organization, consulting to prestigious groups, and strategic, tactical, and operational planning for a diverse set of large and nationally significant projects. Education: Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology; MS, Mechanical Engineering, Northwestern University; BS, Mechanical Engineering, University of Detroit; Ten-Week Program for Senior Executives, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan Business School. We chose Mr. Ybarrondo to become a director principally because of his strong educational background in management, honed in decades of successful management of large technical enterprises and professional engineering service firms.
Unless a director dies, resigns, or is removed earlier, each director serves at least two years or until the next annual meeting of stockholders, provided that each director will serve until such director’s successor is elected and qualified.
Board of Directors’ Committees
Both Orville J. Hendrickson and Larry J. Ybarrondo were considered independent members of our board of directors under NASD Rule 4200(a)(15) during 2014.
Our compensation committee during 2014 was composed of Messrs. Hendrickson and Ybarrondo, our independent directors. Our board as a whole acted as the audit committee. Our board of directors had concluded that Mr. Hendrickson, an independent director, served as the audit committee financial expert. Our board of directors does not have a separate nominating committee. The entire board acted as the nominating committee.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our executive officers, a copy of which is included as an exhibit to this report.
Corporate Governance Matters
We have not adopted any material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.

Our employment agreement with Ms. Hempstead engages her as an at-will employee whom we can terminate at any time, with or without cause. Ms. Hempstead has agreed to maintain the confidentiality of company information, assign to us all of her inventions during employment, and not compete with us for three years after her employment by us terminates for any reason. Her annual compensation is determined annually by the compensation committee. In March 2012, the compensation committee set the annual salary for the chief executive officer at $50,000 through calendar year 2012 and for subsequent calendar years until otherwise modified in a subsequent compensation committee resolution. Due to shortage of available cash, we paid Ms. Hempstead the amount reflected in the above table and accrued the balance due.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
No stock option awards were exercisable or unexercisable as of December 31, 2014, for any executive officer.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The terms of the following transactions were not the result of arm’s-length negotiations.
Related-Party Loans
During 2010, we borrowed an aggregate of $150,000 in three separate $50,000 loans to obtain additional working capital from two of our officers and directors, repayable pursuant to convertible promissory notes. The terms of each note are as follows: (a) no interest will accrue if the note is repaid within 60 days; (b) if the note is not repaid within 60 days, we are obligated to pay $5,000 for costs associated with securing the funds; (c) if the loan is repaid within one year, no annual interest rate will be charged; however, if the loan is not repaid within one year, the note will accrue interest at 6% per annum, beginning on the one-year anniversary date of the note; (d) the lenders are authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into our common stock at its fair value at any time while the note is outstanding; and (e) the loan’s due date for full repayment is December 31, 2013. Since the loans were not paid within 60 days, we are obligated to pay $15,000 for costs associated with securing the funds and accrued interest. The notes were not paid when due.
During 2011, we borrowed an aggregate of $125,000 in five separate $25,000 loans to obtain additional working capital from two of our officers and directors, repayable pursuant to convertible promissory notes. The terms of each note are as follows: (a) no interest will accrue if the note is repaid within 60 days; (b) if the note is not repaid within 60 days, we are obligated to pay $2,500 for costs associated with securing the funds; (c) if the loan is repaid within one year, no annual interest rate will be charged; however, if the loan is not repaid within one year, the note will accrue interest at 6% per annum, beginning on the one-year anniversary date of the note; (d) the lenders are authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into our common stock at its fair value at any time while the note is outstanding; and (e) the loan’s due date for full repayment is December 31, 2014. Since the loans were not paid within 60 days, we are obligated to pay $12,500 for costs associated with securing the funds. The notes were not paid when due.
During 2012, we borrowed $45,500 in three separate loans from two of its officers and directors, repayable pursuant to various convertible promissory notes. The terms of the notes are as follows: (a) no interest will accrue if the note is repaid within 60 days; (b) if the note is not repaid within 60 days, we are obligated to pay 10% for costs associated with securing the funds; (c) if the loan is repaid within one year, no annual interest rate will be charged; however, if the loan is not repaid within one year, the note will accrue interest at 6% per annum, beginning on the one-year anniversary date of the note; (d) the lenders are authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into our common stock at its fair value at any time while the note is outstanding; and (e) the loan’s due date for full repayment is December 31, 2014. Since the loans were not paid within 60 days, we are obligated to pay $4,550 for costs associated with securing the funds. The notes were not paid when due.
In-Kind Contribution of Rent
For the year ended December 31, 2014, no rent was paid for the occupied office space owned by one of our directors. In-kind contribution of rent of $1,450 per month, or $4,350 total, was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2014, for the three months that the space was occupied.
26
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
The firm of Liggett, Vogt & Webb, P.A., formerly Webb & Company, P.A., has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since year ended December 31, 2006, and the board has appointed Liggett, Vogt & Webb, P.A. to act in that capacity for the year ending December 31, 2015. We anticipate that representatives of Liggett, Vogt & Webb, P.A. will be present at any annual meeting and will be provided the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and respond to appropriate questions.
Audit Fees
For our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we were billed approximately $7,118 for professional services rendered for the audit and reviews of our consolidated financial statements. For our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we were billed approximately $15,975 for professional services rendered for the audit and reviews of our consolidated financial statements.
Audit Related Fees
For our fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not incur any audit-related fees.
Tax Fees
For our fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we were not billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
All Other Fees
We did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our principal accountant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Audit and Non-Audit Service Preapproval Policy
In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the audit committee has adopted an informal approval policy that it believes will result in an effective and efficient procedure to preapprove services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.
Audit Services. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit (including quarterly reviews) and other procedures required to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to be able to form an opinion on our consolidated financial statements. The audit committee preapproves specified annual audit services engagement terms and fees and other specified audit fees. All other audit services must be specifically preapproved by the audit committee. The audit committee monitors the audit services engagement and may approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions, and fees resulting from changes in audit scope or other items.
Audit-Related Services. Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements, which historically have been provided to us by the independent registered public accounting firm and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The audit committee has approved specified audit-related services within preapproved fee levels. All other audit-related services must be preapproved by the audit committee.
27
Tax Services. The audit committee preapproves specified tax services that the audit committee believes would not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and that are consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and guidance. The audit committee must specifically approve all other tax services.
All Other Services. Other services are services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm that do not fall within the established audit, audit-related, and tax services categories. The audit committee preapproves specified other services that do not fall within any of the specified prohibited categories of services.
Procedures. All proposals for services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, which must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered and the amount of corresponding fees, are submitted to the chairman of the audit committee and the Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Financial Officer authorizes services that have been preapproved by the audit committee. If there is any question as to whether a proposed service fits within a preapproved service, the audit committee chair is consulted for a determination. The Chief Financial Officer submits requests or applications to provide services that have not been preapproved by the audit committee, which must include an affirmation by the Chief Financial Officer and the independent registered public accounting firm that the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence, to the audit committee (or its chair or any of its other members pursuant to delegated authority) for approval.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of:
TetriDyn Solutions, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TetriDyn Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 TetriDyn Solutions, Inc., as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reported a net loss and cash used by operations in 2014 of $24,349 and $86,280, respectively, and has a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit of $1,383,579 and $1,383,579, respectively at December 31, 2014. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TETRIDYN SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
Note 1—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business—TetriDyn Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), specializes in providing business information technology (IT) solutions to its customers. The Company optimizes business and IT processes by using systems engineering methodologies, strategic planning, and system integration to add efficiency and value to its customers’ business processes and to help its customers identify critical success factors in their business.
Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, an Idaho corporation also named TetriDyn Solutions, Inc. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Segments—The Company had only one business segment for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Use of Estimates—In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Estimates include the valuation of deferred tax assets, in-kind contribution of rent, and reserve for accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition—Revenue from software licenses, related installation, and support services is recognized when earned and realizable. Revenue is earned and realizable when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services, if requested by the customers, have been rendered and are determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received from customers before these criteria being met are deferred. Revenue from the sale of software is recognized when delivered to the customer or upon installation of the software if an installation contract exists. Revenue from post-contract support service contracts is recognized as the services are provided, determined on an hourly basis. The Company recognizes the revenue received for unused support hours under support service contracts that have had no support activity after two years. Revenue applicable to multiple-element fee arrangements is divided among the software, the installation, and post-contract support service contracts using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, as evidenced by the prices charged when the software and the services are sold as separate products or arrangements.
Long-Lived Assets—The Company accounts for long-lived assets under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and FASB ASC Topic 360, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350 and FASB ASC Topic 360, long-lived assets, goodwill, and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill, and intangible assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets.

TETRIDYN SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
Going Concern—The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $24,349 and used cash of $86,280 in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,383,579 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,383,579 as of December 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to increase its sales and obtain external funding for its product development. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments—ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
|
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 2
|
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
|
|
Level 3
|
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
|
The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, customer deposits, notes payable, and related-party convertible note payable. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

TETRIDYN SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is set at five years for computing equipment and vehicles and seven years for office equipment. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in the results of operations when realized.
Net Loss per Common Share—Basic and diluted net loss per common share are computed based upon the weighted-average stock outstanding as defined by FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 0 and 203,000, respectively, of common share equivalents for granted stock options were antidilutive and not used in the calculation of diluted net loss per share. Additionally, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 39,721,800 and 37,800,300, respectively, of common share equivalents for convertible note payables were antidilutive and not used in the calculation of diluted net loss per share.
Stock-Based Compensation—On June 17, 2009, at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan under which up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued. The 2009 plan is to be administered either by the board of directors or by the appropriate committee to be appointed from time to time by the board of directors. Awards granted under the 2009 plan may be incentive stock options (“ISOs”) (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), appreciation rights, options that do not qualify as ISOs, or stock bonus awards that are awarded to employees, officers, and directors that, in the opinion of the board or the committee, have contributed or are expected to contribute materially to the Company’s success. In addition, at the discretion of the board of directors or the committee, options or bonus stock may be granted to individuals who are not employees, officers, or directors, but contribute to the Company’s success.
Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC 505, Share-Based Payment. Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either: (a) a performance commitment, as defined, is reached; or (b) the earlier of: (i) the nonemployee performance is complete; or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the EITF.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 505 for its stock-based compensation plan. Under FASB ASC 505, all employee stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the option or award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service, which is typically through the date the options or awards vest. The Company adopted FASB ASC 505 using the modified prospective method. Under this method, for all stock-based options and awards granted before January 1, 2006, that remain outstanding as of that date, compensation cost is recognized for the unvested portion over the remaining requisite service period, using the grant-date fair value measured under the original provisions of FASB ASC 505 for pro forma and disclosure purposes. Furthermore, compensation costs will also be recognized for any awards issued, modified, repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006.
As the result of adoption of FASB ASC 505, the Company recognized $0 and $20,000 in stock-based compensation during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 7).

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The proposed ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, would supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update would supersede some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition–Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. For public companies, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If such an arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for it as a service contract. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Note 11—Subsequent Events
Credit Card Obligations—The Company was responsible for reimbursing Dave Hempstead, its chief executive officer, principal financial officer, and director, for personal credit card account expenditures on its behalf. The balance due on these credit card accounts was $261,609 as of the date of Mr. Hempstead’s death on April 26, 2013. The credit card companies have not sought collection from assets owned jointly with Mr. Hempstead’s surviving spouse, who in turn advised the Company on July 15, 2015, that she will not seek reimbursement from the Company unless the credit card companies hereafter seek payment. The full amount of this liability has been recorded and disclosed as part of accounts payable and will continue to be accrued until the statute of limitations is met.
Consolidation of Convertible Notes Payable to Related Parties—On March 19, 2015, the Company exchanged convertible notes payable to its officers and directors in the aggregate principal amount of $320,246, plus accrued but unpaid interest of $74,134, for an aggregate of $394,380 as of December 31, 2014, into a single, $394,380 consolidated convertible note dated December 31, 2014. The new consolidated convertible note has payment and other terms identical to the notes exchanged, except that the conversion provisions were changed from a conversion price to be equal to the stock’s fair value as of the conversion date to a fixed conversion price under the consolidated note of $0.025 per share, the approximate market price of the Company’s common stock as of the date of the issuance of the consolidated note in March 2015. The note is due and payable within 90 days after demand. See Note 5–Convertible Notes Payable to Related Parties.
2015 Investment and Merger Agreements—On March 23, 2015, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement dated March 12, 2015, with JPF Venture Group, Inc. (“JPF”) and an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 12, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (“OTE”). Before entering into these agreements, there was no material relationship between the Company and its affiliates and either JPF or OTE and their respective affiliates.
Investment Agreement—Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, JPF purchased for $100,000 in cash 29,372,277 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.003405 per share (the “JPF Stock”) and a warrant to purchase up to 1,033,585 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.003 per share. JPF is an investment entity that is majority-owned by Jeremy P. Feakins (“Feakins”), the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OTE. The JPF Stock represents a 55% ownership interest by JPF in the Company, without giving effect to the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock on the conversion of outstanding convertible notes.
JPF’s investment is being used principally to initiate and pursue an updated technical and commercialization review of the Company’s intellectual properties with a view toward possible broadened marketing introduction and, in general, advance the Company’s business activities and to bring its regulatory filings current. The terms of the Investment Agreement provide that, if the Merger (as defined below) with OTE is consummated, 100% of the JPF Stock will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares. The purpose of this intended cancellation is to ensure that the Company’s current shareholders (excluding JPF) retain a 5% interest in the post-Merger company. If the Merger is not consummated, the JPF Stock will remain outstanding, and JPF will maintain its position as a 55% stockholder in the Company.

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
Concurrently with the execution of the Investment Agreement, Antoinette Knapp Hempstead the estate of her late husband, David W. Hempstead (together, the “Hempsteads”), JPF, and Feakins entered into an agreement whereby, among other things: (i) JPF agreed to execute supplemental guarantees for the Hempsteads in connection with certain debt obligations to economic development entities owed by the Company and guaranteed by the Hempsteads; (ii) the Hempsteads transferred to JPF the consolidated convertible note payable by the Company to the Hempsteads with an outstanding principal balance of $394,380 as of December 31, 2014, together with accrued and unpaid payroll of $213,436, for a total of $607,816; and (iii) the Hempsteads returned to the Company for cancellation 1,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which were cancelled. The Company has filed a Certificate of Withdrawal of Certificate of Designation for the preferred stock with the Nevada Secretary of State.
As required by the Investment Agreement, two designees of JPF, Feakins and Peter Wolfson, were appointed as directors of the Company to replace incumbent directors Orville J. Hendrickson and Larry J. Ybarrondo, who resigned. See below.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
Merger Terms. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company would acquire OTE (the “Merger”) as follows: (i) the Company would organize a wholly owned subsidiary that would merge with and into OTE, with OTE continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; and (ii) each share of OTE common stock outstanding or issuable on the conversion of outstanding notes and exercise of warrants (other than shares owned by stockholders who dissent to the transaction) immediately before the Merger, would be converted into the right to receive one newly issued share of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.
Conditions to Completion of Merger. The completion of the Merger would constitute the offer and sale of the Company’s securities to the stockholders of OTE, which can only be effected if a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is effective or an exemption from registration is available. The Company has determined to seek an exemption from registration under the Securities Act by meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(10) of this statute, which exempts from registration securities issued when the terms and conditions of the issuance are approved, after hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions meeting certain requirements by, among others, a duly authorized administrative agency. In an effort to meet these requirements, the Company filed an application for a fairness hearing to be held pursuant to the provisions of Section 25142 of the California Securities Law (the “Fairness Hearing”) so that the issuance of the securities to complete the Merger will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.
The California application for a Fairness Hearing is now pending. The Fairness Hearing and permitting application are significant and quite technical, and the determination of whether the Merger will meet the California fairness requirements will be subject to the discretion of the hearing officer. No assurance can be given as to whether or not the hearing will result in the denial of the application, an adjustment of the terms of the Merger, the issuance of a permit meeting the conditions of the Securities Act Section 3(a)(10) exemption, or other action.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
If California issues a permit availing the Company of the exemption under the Securities Act Section 3(a)(10) and the other conditions to closing the Merger are met, the Merger will be completed promptly thereafter. If California does not issue the permit or the other Merger conditions are not satisfied: (i) the Merger Agreement will terminate; (ii) the Company and OTE will remain as separate companies; and (iii) JPF will continue as the 55% controlling stockholder of the Company’s stock as it seeks to advance commercialization of its technologies or pursue other opportunities.
Completion of the Merger is also conditioned on the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the respective parties to the Merger Agreement, the satisfaction of certain conditions, and other covenants, many of which may be waived by either party.
Reverse Split to Facilitate Merger. The Company currently has an authorized capitalization of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. With 24.0 million shares outstanding immediately preceding the Merger, after giving effect to JPF’s return of 24,031,863 shares issued under the Investment Agreement for cancellation immediately preceding the closing of the Merger, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares to convey 95% ownership of its stock to the OTE stockholders as agreed to complete the Merger, which would require the issuance of 369.9 million shares at closing and the reservation of about 86.7 shares for issuance on the conversion of outstanding notes and the exercise of outstanding warrants. Accordingly, immediately preceding the Merger, the Company will effect a 1-for-4.6972 reverse-stock-split of its common stock (the “Reverse Split”) by filing an amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State. This amendment will also increase the Company’s authorized common stock to 200,000,000 shares.
As a result of the Reverse Split, each record holder of less than 4.6972 shares of the Company’s common stock immediately before the Reverse Split (the “Minority Stockholders”) will receive from the Company, cash in the amount of $0.03 per share of the Company’s common stock, without interest (which includes a 20% premium over the fair market value of $0.025 per share as of March 3, 2015, as determined by the Company’s board of directors), for each share of the Company’s common stock held immediately before the Reverse Split, and the Minority Stockholders will no longer be the Company’s stockholders. Each record holder of 4.6972 or more shares of the Company’s common stock immediately before the Reverse Split will own approximately one-fifth of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by such stockholder immediately before the Reverse Split.
Post-Merger Business of OTE and the Company. OTE is developing deep-water hydrothermal technologies to provide renewable energy and drinkable water. OTE’s Sea Water Air Conditioning (“SWAC”) technology takes advantage of the difference between cold deep water and warmer surface water to produce hydrothermal energy without requiring fossil fuels. OTE has recently broken ground on a SWAC project at the upscale Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas. This project, believed to be the first large-scale seawater air conditioning system in the Bahamas, is scheduled to be completed and in service in 2016.
OTE is interested in the commercial potential of proprietary technologies being developed by the Company as opportunities for future business diversification. Further, OTE recognizes that the Company’s status as a company that is subject to the periodic reporting requirements pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may enhance its access to the capital markets to fund future projects.
