OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS TETRIDYN SOLUTIONS, INC.)
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated
March 31, 2018 Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Source of Business and Basis of Presentation
Ocean
Thermal Energy Corporation (“Ocean Thermal,” the
“Company,” “we,” and “us”) is
currently in the businesses of:
●
OTEC and SWAC - Designing Ocean Thermal
Energy Conversion (“OTEC”) power plants and Seawater
Air Conditioning (“SWAC”) plants for large commercial
properties, utilities and municipalities. These technologies
provide practical solutions to mankind’s three oldest and
most fundamental needs: clean drinking water, plentiful food, and
sustainable, affordable energy without the use of fossil fuels.
OTEC is a clean technology that continuously extracts energy from
the temperature difference between warm surface ocean water and
cold deep seawater. In addition to producing electricity, some of
the seawater running through an OTEC plant can be efficiently
desalinated using the power generated by the OTEC technology,
producing thousands of cubic meters of fresh water every day for
the communities served by its plants for use in agriculture and
human consumption. This cold deep nutrient-rich water can also be
used to cool buildings (SWAC) and for fish farming/ aquaculture. In
short, it’s a technology with many benefits, and its
versatility makes OTEC unique.
●
EcoVillages - Developing and commercializing our EcoVillages,
as well as working to develop or acquire new complementary assets.
EcoVillages are communities whose goal is to become more socially,
economically and ecologically sustainable. EcoVillages are
communities whose inhabitants seek to live according to ecological
principles, causing as little impact on the environment as
possible. We expect that our EcoVillage communities will range from
a population of 50 to 150 individuals, although some may be
smaller. We may also form larger EcoVillages of up to 2,000
individuals that will be formed as networks of smaller
sub-communities. We expect that our EcoVillages will grow by the
addition of individuals, families, or other small
groups.
We expect to use OTE’s technology in the development of our
EcoVillages, which we should add significant value to our existing
line of business.
On May
25, 2017, the Company received approval from the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to change the trading
symbol for the Company’s common stock to “CPWR”
from “TDYS.” The Company’s common stock began
formally trading under the symbol “CPWR” on June 21,
2017.
For
accounting purposes, this transaction was accounted for as a
reverse merger and has been treated as a recapitalization of
Tetridyn Solutions, Inc. with Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation. as
the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements of the
accounting acquirer became the financial statements of the Company.
The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in
connection with the transaction. The 110,273,767 shares issued to
the shareholder of OTE in conjunction with the share exchange
transaction has been presented as outstanding for all periods. The
historical financial statements include the operations of the
accounting acquirer for all periods presented and the accounting
acquiree for the period from May 9, 2017 through December 31, 2017.
The Company’s accounting year end is December 31, which was
the year end of Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In
the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all
adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature necessary for
presentation of financial statements for interim periods in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q in Article 10 of SEC
Regulation S-X. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
We
condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which
we prepared in accordance with GAAP. The operating results for the
three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the year. Our interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with our Audit Report and
the 10-K filing on April 2, 2018.
6
Note
2: Going Concern
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a
going concern. As reflected in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements, we had a net loss of $951,810
and used $834,890 of cash in operating activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2018. We had a working capital deficiency of
$11,196,385 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $11,397,037 as
of March 31, 2018. These factors raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as
a going concern is dependent on our ability to increase sales and
obtain external funding for our project development. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3: Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) that significantly reforms
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal
Revenue Code”). The TCJA, among other things, contains
significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of
the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat
rate of 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018; limitation of the tax
deduction for interest expense; limitation of the deduction for net
operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and
elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, in each case, for
losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017
(though any such tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely);
modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits,
including reducing the business tax credit for certain clinical
testing expenses incurred in the testing of certain drugs for rare
diseases or conditions generally referred to as “orphan
drugs” and repeal of the federal Alternative Minimum Tax
(“AMT”).
The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to address the application of GAAP in
situations when a registrant does not have the necessary
information available, prepared or analyzed (including
computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for
certain income tax effects of the TCJA. In connection with the
initial analysis of the impact of the TCJA, the Company remeasured
its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which
they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%.
The remeasurement of the Company's deferred tax assets and
liabilities was offset by a change in the valuation
allowance.
The Company is still in the process of analyzing the impact to the
Company of the TCJA. Where the Company has been able to make
reasonable estimates of the effects related to which its analysis
is not yet complete, the Company has recorded provisional amounts.
The ultimate impact to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements of the TCJA may differ from the provisional amounts due
to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in
interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional
regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may
take as a result of the TCJA. The accounting is expected to be
complete when the Company’s 2017 U.S. corporate income tax
return is filed in 2018.
No
income tax expense was recognized for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2018 and 2017, due to net losses being incurred in these
periods. We are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service,
various states, and foreign jurisdictions for the prior three
years. There has not been a change in our unrecognized tax
positions since December 31, 2017, and we do not believe there
will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over
the next 12 months. Our policy is to recognize interest and
penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component
of income tax expense. We do not have any accrued interest or
penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, and no
interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits was
recognized during the three months ended March 31,
2018.
The
Company’s ability to use its NOL carryforwards may be
substantially limited due to ownership change limitations that may
have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code), as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes
may limit the amount of NOL that can be utilized annually to offset
future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an
“ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the
Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a
three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than
50.0% of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders
or public groups.
The
Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership
change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership
changes since the Company became a “loss corporation”
under the definition of Section 382. If the Company has experienced
an ownership change, utilization of the NOL carryforwards would be
subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code,
which is determined by first multiplying the value of the
Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the
applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to
additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in
expiration of a portion of the NOL carryforwards before
utilization. Further, until a study is completed and any limitation
known, no positions related to limitations are being considered as
an uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax
benefit. Any carryforwards that expire prior to utilization as a
result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets
with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. Due to
the existence of the valuation allowance, it is not expected that
any possible limitation will have an impact on the results of
operations or financial position of the Company.

Note
4: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC
Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States, and enhances
disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 describes a fair
value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first
two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may
be used to measure fair value, which are the
following:
●
Level
1–Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting
date.
●
Level
2–Pricing inputs are quoted for similar assets or inputs that
are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially
the full term through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 2 includes assets or liabilities valued at quoted prices
adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these
investments.
●
Level
3–Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets or
liabilities; that is, the inputs reflect the reporting
entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market
participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability.
Management
believes the carrying amounts of the short-term financial
instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expense
and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes
payable, deferred compensation, and other liabilities reflected in
the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value at March 31,
2018 and December 31, 2017, due to the relatively short-term nature
of these instruments.
Note 5: Net Loss per Common Share
The
basic loss per share is calculated by dividing our net loss
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is
calculated by dividing our net loss by the diluted weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted
weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted
number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or
equity. We have 220,500 and 303,320 shares issuable upon the
exercise of warrants and options and 7,567,438 and 205,667 shares
issuable upon the conversion of the green energy bonds and
convertible notes that were not included in the computation of
dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is antidilutive for
the interim periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively
Note 6: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have
reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting
standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on our
consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash
flows. Based on that review, we believe that none of these
pronouncements will have a significant effect on current or future
earnings or operations.
Note 7: Business Segments
We
conduct operations in various foreign jurisdictions that use our
technology. Our segments are based on the location of their
operations. The U.S. territories segment consists of operations in
the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam; the Bahamas segment consists of
operations specific to the Bahamas; and the other segment currently
consists of operations in the Cayman Islands. Direct revenues and
costs, depreciation, depletion, and amortization costs, general and
administrative costs (“G&A”), and other income
directly associated with their respective segments are detailed

exercise price of $0.50 per share. The note had an interest rate of
10% per annum, was secured by a first lien in all of our assets and
was due on February 3, 2015. We determined the warrants had a fair
value of $378,500 based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The fair value was recorded as a discount on the note payable and
was being amortized over the life of the note. We repriced the
warrants during 2013 and took an additional charge to earnings of
$1,269,380 related to the repricing. The warrants were exercised
upon the repricing. On March 6, 2018, the note holder agreed to
amend the note to extend the due date of the note to December 31,
2018. As of March 31, 2018, the outstanding balance was $1,000,000,
plus accrued interest of $560,559.
During
2013, we issued Series B units. Each unit is comprised of a note
agreement, a $50,000 promissory note that matures on September 30,
2023, and bears interest at 10% per annum payable annually in
arrears, a security agreement, and a warrant to purchase 10,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price to be determined
pursuant to a specified formula. During 2013, we issued $525,000 of
10% promissory notes and warrants to purchase 105,000 shares of
common stock. The warrants have an expiration date of September 30,
2023. We determined the warrants had a fair value of $60,068 based
on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As part of our agreement
with the Memphis Investors, the Board repriced the warrants to
$0.00 and exercised the warrants and issued shares of common stock.
On December 31, 2016, the accrued interest was $168,934. During
2015, one of the original note holders transferred its ownership of
the note in the amount of $50,000 to Jeremy P. Feakins &
Associates LLC through the JPF Venture Fund 1, LP. On August 15,
2017, loans in the amount of $316,666 and accrued interest of
$120,898 were converted to 437,564 shares at $1.00 per share, which
was ratified by the Board of Directors. The shares were recorded at
fair value of $1,165,892. The Company recorded a loss on settlement
of debt of $728,328 on conversion date. As of March 31, 2018,, the
loan balance was $158,334 and the accrued interest was
$72,852.
During
the third quarter of 2017, the Company commenced a $2,000,000
convertible promissory note private placement offering. The terms
of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per
annum; (ii) the note is payable two years after purchase;
(iii) and all principal and interest on each Note shall
automatically convert on the Conversion Maturity Date into shares
of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $4.00
per share, as long as the closing share price of the
Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately
preceding the Conversion Maturity Date is at least $4.00, as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification, and
the like. If the price of the Company’s shares on such date
is less than $4.00 per share, the Note (principal and interest)
will be repaid in full. As of March 31, 2018, the outstanding
balance for all four loans was $80,000, plus accrued interest of
$3,370.
During
2013, we paid cash of $10,000 and issued a note payable for
$290,000 in connection with the reverse merger transaction. We
repurchased and retired 7,546,464 shares of common stock
simultaneously with the closing of the merger with Broad Band
Network Associates. The note is unsecured and due the earlier of
December 31, 2015, or upon our receiving $50,000 of proceeds from
the exercise of the Class A warrants, $50,000 from the exercise of
the Class B warrants, $60,000 from the exercise of the Class C
warrants, $60,000 from the exercise of Class D warrants, and
$70,000 from the exercise of the Class E warrants. During 2014, we
paid $100,000 and during 2015, we paid $60,000, leaving a balance
of $130,000. Accrued interest totaled $42,913 at March 31, 2018. We
have determined that no further payment of principal or interest on
this note should be made because the note holder failed to perform
his underlying obligations giving rise to this note. As such, we
are confident that if the note holder were to seek legal redress, a
court would decide in our favor by either voiding the note or
awarding damages sufficient to offset the note value.
During
2014, we issued a note payable for $2,265,000 and warrants to
purchase 12,912,500 shares of common stock, with an exercise price
equal to the greater of a 50% discount of the stock price when our
shares are listed on a public exchange or $0.425 per share, to an
entity owned by our chief executive officer, together our principal
stockholders. The warrants expire one year after our shares are
listed on a recognized public exchange. The unsecured note has an
interest rate of 10% per annum and the balance was due on January
31, 2015. We determined the warrants had a fair value of $2,265,000
based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value was
recorded as a discount on the note payable and is being amortized
over the life of the note. As part of our agreement with the
Memphis Investors, the Board repriced the warrants to $0.00 and
exercised the warrants and issued shares of common stock. As of
December 31, 2015, principal of $152,500 has been repaid and
principal of $351,500 has been converted into 468,667 shares of
common stock, leaving a note balance of $1,761,000. During 2016, a
principal payment of $5,000 was made leaving a note balance of
$1,756,000 at December 31, 2016. On December 31, 2016, the accrued
interest was $453,093. On January 18, 2018, the note holder agreed
to extend the due date for the repayment of the loan and interest
to the earlier of December 31, 2018, or the date of the financial
closings of its Baha Mar Project (or any other project of $25
million or more), whichever occurs first. On August 15, 2017, loans
in the amount of $618,500 and accrued interest of $207,731 were
converted to 826,231 shares at $1.00 per share, which was ratified
by the Board of Directors. The conversion was recorded at
historical cost due to the related party nature of the transaction.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we made a repayment of
note payable in the amount of $35,000. As of March 31, 2018, the
loan balance was $1,102,500 and the accrued interest was
$427,599.
During
2014, we issued a note payable of $100,000 to a related party and
$200,000 to a third party, for a total of $300,000, and warrants to
purchase 300,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of
$1.00 per share. As part of our agreement with the Memphis
Investors, the Board repriced the warrants to $0.00 and exercised
the warrants and issued shares of common stock. These unsecured
notes have an interest rate of 12% per annum. The $100,000 note
with a related party is due the earlier of December 26, 2015; the
completion by us of an equity financing resulting in our receipt of
gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000; or the financial close of
the Baha Mar project and release of funds by the bank. The balance
on the $200,000 note is due the earlier of March 31, 2015; the
completion by us of an equity financing resulting in our receipt of
gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000; or the financial close of
the Baha Mar project and release of project financing funds by the
bank. As of December 31, 2016, the notes are in default. Due to the
delay in opening of the Baha Mar Resort, our Baha Mar SWAC
Project’s financial closing was delayed causing us to default
on the notes. We have accrued the interest at a default rate of
22%. We intend to repay the notes and accrued interest upon the
project’s financial closing. Accrued interest totaled
$196,629 as of March 31, 2018.
11
On
April 7, 2015, we issued an unsecured convertible promissory note
in the principal amount of $50,000 to an unrelated party. The note
bears interest of 10% and is due on April 17, 2017. On April 6,
2018, the note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to April
7, 2019. The note and accrued interest can be converted into our
common stock at a conversion rate of $0.75 per share at any time
prior to the repayment. We recorded a debt discount of $6,667 for
the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature. During the
three months, we amortized $871 of debt discount. Accrued interest
totaled $15,097 as of March 31, 2018.
On
March 9, 2017, an entity owned by our chief executive officer is an
officer and director, agreed to provide up to $200,000 in working
capital. The note bears interest of 10% and is due and payable with
90 days of demand. On March 31, 2018, the balance of the loan
outstanding was $177,000 and the accrued interest as of that date
was $19,330.
During
the third quarter of 2017, the Company commenced a $2,000,000
convertible promissory note private placement offering. The terms
of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per
annum; (ii) the note is payable two years after purchase;
(iii) and all principal and interest on each Note shall
automatically convert on the Conversion Maturity Date into shares
of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $4.00
per share, as long as the closing share price of the
Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately
preceding the Conversion Maturity Date is at least $4.00, as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification, and
the like. If the price of the Company’s shares on such date
is less than $4.00 per share, the Note (principal and interest)
will be repaid in full. As of March 31, 2018, the outstanding
balance for all four loans was $80,000, plus accrued interest of
$3,370.
On
November 6, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a
promissory note with JPF Venture Group, Inc. (“JPF”),
an investment entity that is majority-owned by Jeremy Feakins, the

$2,500. As of March 31, 2018, the outstanding balance was $639,068
and the accrued interest was $32,852.

In
December 2017, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement pursuant to which we issued a series of unsecured
promissory notes (the “Notes”) to accredited investors,
in the aggregate principal amount of $924,156 as of March 31, 2018.
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a
quarterly basis and are not convertible into shares of capital
stock of the Company. The Notes are payable within five business
days after receipt of funds from L2 Capital under the Equity
Purchase Agreement equal to 20% of the total funds received by the
Company from L2 Capital payable on a pro rata basis to all holders
of the Notes. The Company may prepay the Notes in whole or in part
without penalty or premium on or before the maturity date of July
30, 2019. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, for each
Note purchased the Noteholder will receive a warrant exercised as
follows:
$10,000
note with a warrant to purchase 2,000 shares
$20,000
note with a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares
$25,000
note with a warrant to purchase 6,500 shares
$30,000
note with a warrant to purchase 8,000 shares
$40,000
note with a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares
$50,000
note with a warrant to purchase 14,000 shares
The
exercise price per share of the Warrants is equal to Eighty-Five
Percent (85%) of the closing price of the Company’s common
stock on the day immediately preceding the exercise of the relevant
Warrant, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant. The
Warrant includes a cashless net exercise provision whereby the
holder can elect to receive shares equal to the value of the
Warrant minus the fair market value of shares being surrendered to
pay the exercise. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the
balance outstanding was $934,156 and $490,000 respectively. As of
March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the accrued interest was
$20,340 and $613, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 and December
31, 2017, we had issued Warrants to purchase 116,500 and 134,000
shares of common stock, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 and
December 31, 2017, we determined that the warrants had a fair value
of $32,450 and $41,044, respectively based on the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The fair value was recorded as a discount on
the notes payable and is being amortized over the life of the notes
payable. As of March 31, 2018, 30,000 warrants have been exercised
(see Note 9) and the debt discount related to the exercised
warrants have been fully expensed. For the three months ended March
31, 2018, we amortized $17,978 of debt discount.
On
February 15, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with L2
Capital, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company
(“L2”), for a loan of up to $565,555, together with
interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (with the
understanding that the initial six months of such interest of each
tranche funded shall be guaranteed), at maturity or upon
acceleration or otherwise, as set forth herein (the “L2
Note”). The consideration to the Company for the L2 Note is
up to $500,000.00 due to the prorated original issuance discount of
up to $55,555 (the “OID”) and a $10,000.00 credit for
L2’s transactional expenses. As of the March 31, 2018, we
have received two tranches totaling $204,444, which were allocated
as follows: Original Issuance Discount - $19,444; L2’s
Transaction Fee - $10,000; Broker-Dealer’s Fee - $14,000; Net
Proceeds to Company - $161,000. The debt discount is amortized over
the life of the L2 Note. For the three months ended March 31, 2018,
we amortized $8,303 of debt discount.

Note 9: Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
For the
three months ended March 31, 2018, we issued 90,657 shares of
common stock for services performed with a fair value of
$23,666.
On
January 19, 2018, two note holders elected to convert 28,000
warrants into 28,000 shares of common stock for a value of $7,854
$0.2805 per share). We received this value in cash.
On
February 26, 2018, a note holder elected to convert 2,000 warrants
into 2,000 shares of common stock for a value of $357 ($0.1785 per

Balance at March

|

|
The
aggregate intrinsic value represents the excess amount over the
exercise price optionees would have received if all options had
been exercised on the last business day of the period indicated,
based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.212 on March
31, 2018. The intrinsic value of 220,500 warrants on that date was
$7,012.
We
calculated the fair value of the options by using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: no dividend yield for all the years; expected
volatility ranging from 533% - 1,581%; risk-free interest rate
ranging from 2.01% - 2.45% and an expected life of three
years.
Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From
time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and regulatory
proceedings arising from operations. We establish reserves for
specific liabilities in connection with legal actions that
management deems to be probable and estimable.
Consulting Agreements
The
Company entered into several consulting agreements and agreed to
pay the consultants in cash or shares of common stock with terms up
to 6 months. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has accrued the cash
compensation and share compensation valued at fair value totaling
$22,500. The accrued consulting fees will be settled in shares of
common stock.
16
Employment Agreements
On
January 1, 2011, we entered into a five-year employment agreement
with an individual to serve as our chief executive officer. The
employment agreement provides for successive one-year term renewals
unless it is expressly cancelled by either party 100 days prior to
the end of the term. Under the agreement, the chief executive
officer will receive an annual salary of $350,000, a car allowance
of $12,000, and Company-paid health insurance. The agreement also
provides for bonuses equal to one times annual salary plus 500,000
shares of common stock for each additional project that generates
$25 million or more revenue to us. The chief executive officer is
entitled to receive severance pay in the lesser amount of three
years’ salary or 100% of the remaining salary if the
remaining term is less than three years.
On June
29, 2017, the Board of Directors approved extending the employment
agreements for the chief executive officer and the senior financial
advisor for an additional five (5) years. The salary and other
compensation shall be increased to account for inflation since the
original employment agreements were executed and became effective
June 30, 2017.
Note 11: Related-Party Transactions

payable was converted into 618,500 shares of common stock. In
addition, they converted accrued interest in the amount of $207,731

$1,000,000.
On

interest shall be due and payable at the earliest of (a) resolution
of the Memphis litigation; (b) June 30, 2018; or (c) when the

outstanding balance was $639,067 and the accrued interest was
$32,822. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we made a
repayment in the amount of $2,500.

Note 12: Subsequent Events
On May
4, 2018, the Company reached a settlement of the claims at issue in
Ocean Thermal Energy Corp. v. Robert Coe et al., Case No.
2:17-cv-02343SHL-cgc, before the United States District Court for
the Western District of Tennessee. The settlement
requires the defendants to pay $3 million by June
4; if the
defendants fail to meet this payment deadline, the Company will be
entitled to submit an agreed judgment for
$8,000,000.
We are
pursuing the acquisition of a leading international engineering and
technology company in our industry. The company designs and
manufactures patented accessories to provide better stability,
protection, and securitization of floating offshore structures
such as those we have designed for use with our OTEC and Desal
systems. On February 8, 2018, we made an offer to acquire the
company, which was accepted by the seller. However, after receiving
the due diligence reports from our Advisors, on April 23, 2018 we
withdraw our original offer and presented a revised offer. We are
awaiting a formal decision from the seller and his advisors. In
addition, we are in discussions with our advisors to acquire a US
based commercial air conditioning engineering company. Both of
these companies offer experienced technical teams and an
infrastructure that will support and enhance OTE’s
International and US operations. As of the date of this filing, neither of
the transactions has been consummated.
On
February 15, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with L2
Capital, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company
(“L2”), for a loan of up to $565,555, together with
interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (with the
understanding that the initial six months of such interest of each
tranche funded shall be guaranteed), at maturity or upon
acceleration or otherwise, as set forth herein (the “L2
Note”). On April 2, 2018, we have received a third tranche
totaling $111,111 which were allocated as follows: Original
Issuance Discount - $11,111; Broker-Dealer’s Fee - $8,000;
Net Proceeds to Company - $92,000. On April 16, 2018, we have
received a fourth tranche totaling $111,111 which were allocated as
follows: Original Issuance Discount - $11,111;
Broker-Dealer’s Fee - $8,000; Net Proceeds to Company -
$92,000. On May 2, 2018, we have received a fifth tranche totaling
$55,556 which were allocated as follows: Original Issuance Discount
- $5,556; Broker-Dealer’s Fee - $4,000; Net Proceeds to
Company - $46,000.The current loan balance outstanding is
$482,222.
On
April 13, 2018, a note holder elected to convert 2,000 warrants
into 2,000 shares of common stock for a value of $595 ($0.2975). We
received this value in cash.
On
April 7, 2015, we issued an unsecured convertible promissory note
in the principal amount of $50,000 to an unrelated party. The note
bears interest of 10% and is due on April 17, 2017. On April 6,
2018, the note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to April
7, 2019.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited condensed 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 of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as statements
relating to our anticipated revenues, gross margins and operating
results, estimates used in the preparation of our financial
statements, future performance and operations, plans for future
expansion, capital spending, sources of liquidity, and financing
sources. 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 our industry; the success of
marketing and sales activity; the dependence on existing
management; the availability and cost of substantial amounts of
project capital; leverage and debt service (including sensitivity
to fluctuations in interest rates); domestic and 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
develop projects for renewable power generation, desalinated water
production, and air conditioning using our proprietary technologies
designed to extract energy from the temperature differences between
warm surface water and cold deep water. In addition, our projects
provide ancillary products such as potable/bottle water and
high-profit aquaculture, mariculture, and agriculture
opportunities.
We
currently have no source of revenue, so as we continue to incur
costs we are dependent on external funding in order to continue. We
cannot assure that such funding will be available or, if available,
can be obtained on acceptable or favorable terms.
Our
operating expenses consist principally of expenses associated with
the development of our projects until we determine that a
particular project is feasible. Salaries and wages consist
primarily of employee salaries and wages, payroll taxes, and health
insurance. Our professional fees are related to consulting,
engineering, legal, investor relations, outside accounting, and
auditing expenses. General and administrative expenses include
travel, insurance, rent, marketing, and miscellaneous office
expenses. The interest expense includes interest and discounts
related to our loans and notes payable.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and
2017
We had
no revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and
2017.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2018, we had salaries and wages of
$329,989, compared to salaries and wages of $257,488 during the
same three-month period for 2017, an increase of 28% and is
attributable to increase in staff and increase in officer’s
salary.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded
professional fees of $207,237 and $352,796 respectively, a decrease
of 41%. This decrease was due primarily to our decreased use of
outside consultants.
General
and administrative expenses were $226,988 during the three months
ended March 31, 2018 and $78,346 for the same three-month period in
2017. This is a 189% increase compared to the same three-month
period of the previous year due to travel and marketing
expenses.
Our
interest expense was $187,596 for the three months ended March 31,
2018, compared to $107,517 for the same period of the previous
year, and increase of 50 %. Interest expense for the 2018 period
increased due to our payments of original discount fees and
transaction fees in the amount of $43,000 to L2 Capital and fair
value of warrants issued with notes payable and recorded as
discount and an increase of interest accrued on our outstanding
loans In addition, we amortized $26,281 of debt
discount.
19
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At
March 31, 2018, our principal source of liquidity consisted of
$141,940 of cash, as compared to $425,015 of cash at December 31,
2017. In addition, our stockholders’ deficiency was
$11,397,037 at March 31, 2018, compared to stockholders’
deficiency of $10,509,554 at December 31, 2017, an increase in the
deficit of $887,483.
Our
operations used net cash of $834,890 during the three months ended
March 31, 2018, as compared to using net cash of $331,381 during
the three months ended March 31, 2017. The change was primarily due
to the warrant expense that impacted 2017.
Investing
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 used
cash of $22,500 and $57,626 respectively. All of the cash used in
investing during the first three quarter of 2018 was an increase in
our assets under construction. Of the amount of cash used in the
first quarter of 2017, $34,773 reflects an advance from a related
party that converted to a loan and the remaining amount was an
increase in our assets under construction.
Financing
activities provided cash of $574,315 for our operations during the
three months ended March 31, 2018 due to the proceeds we received
from issuing convertible note and notes payable.
Our Capital Resources and Anticipated Requirements
As
noted above, at March 31, 2018, we had negative working capital
(current assets minus current liabilities) of $11,196,385. We are
now focusing our efforts on promoting and marketing the OTE
technology by developing and executing contracts. We are exploring
external funding alternatives, as our current cash is insufficient
to fund operations for the next 12 months. Upon the consummation of
the merger with TetriDyn Solutions, Inc., which was consummated on
May 9, 2017, we now have access to the public markets.
Our
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we
will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced
recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit.
The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going
concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include the
raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets, until such
time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund
working capital requirements.
The Company will require additional funding to
finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as
well as to achieve its strategic objectives. If the company is
unable to access the L2 equity line as described below, the Company
believes its current available cash may be insufficient to meet its
cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that the
L2 equity line or other financing will be available in amounts or
terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery
of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
In
December 2017, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement pursuant to which we issued a series of unsecured
promissory notes (the “Notes”) to accredited investors,
in the aggregate principal amount of $924,156 as of March 31, 2018.
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a
quarterly basis and are not convertible into shares of capital
stock of the Company. The Notes are payable within five business
days after receipt of funds from L2 Capital under the Equity
Purchase Agreement equal to 20% of the total funds received by the
Company from L2 Capital payable on a pro rata basis to all holders
of the Notes. The Company may prepay the Notes in whole or in part
without penalty or premium on or before the maturity date of July
30, 2019. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, for each
Note purchased the Noteholder will receive a warrant exercised as
follows:
$10,000
note with a warrant to purchase 2,000 shares
$20,000
note with a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares
$25,000
note with a warrant to purchase 6,500 shares
$30,000
note with a warrant to purchase 8,000 shares
$40,000
note with a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares
$50,000
note with a warrant to purchase 14,000 shares
The
exercise price per share of the Warrants is equal to Eighty-Five
Percent (85%) of the closing price of the Company’s common
stock on the day immediately preceding the exercise of the relevant
Warrant, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant. The
Warrant includes a cashless net exercise provision whereby the
holder can elect to receive shares equal to the value of the
Warrant minus the fair market value of shares being surrendered to
pay the exercise. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the
balance outstanding was $934,156 and $490,000 respectively. As of
March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the accrued interest was
$20,340 and $613, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 and December
31, 2017, we had issued Warrants to purchase 116,500 and 134,000
shares of common stock, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 and
December 31, 2017, we determined that the warrants had a fair value
of $32,450 and $41,044, respectively based on the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The fair value was recorded as a discount on
the notes payable and is being amortized over the life of the notes
payable. On January 16,
2018, 28,000 warrants were exercised at an average value of $0.2805
per share for a total of $7,854. On February 27, 2018, 2,000
warrants were exercised at an average value of $0.1785 per share
for a total of $357. On April 13, 2018, 2,000 warrants were
exercised at an average value of $0.2975 per share for a total of
$595.
On December 11, 2017, the Company entered into an
equity purchase agreement with L2 Capital, LLC, a Kansas limited
liability company (“L2”), for up to $15,000,000. As of
December 31, 2017 , we issued 1,714,285 shares of common stock
valued at $514,286 as a commitment fee in connection with the
agreement. The shares to be issued pursuant to this agreement were
covered by a Form S-1 Registration Statement approved the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and effective on January
29, 2018. As of the date of this filing, no “put”
options have been exercised.
20
On
February 15, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with L2
for a loan of up to $565,555, together with interest at the rate of
eight percent (8%) per annum (with the understanding that the
initial six months of such interest of each tranche funded shall be
guaranteed), at maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set
forth herein (the “L2 Note”). The consideration to the
Company for the L2 Note is up to $500,000.00 due to the prorated
original issuance discount of up to $55,555 (the “OID”)
and a $10,000 credit for L2’s transactional expenses. As of
the date of this filing, we have received five tranches totaling
$482,222, which were allocated as follows: Original Issuance
Discount amortization - $47,222; L2’s Transaction Fee -
$10,000; Broker-Dealer’s Fee - $34,000; Net Proceeds to
Company - $391,000.
We are
pursuing the acquisition of a leading international engineering and
technology company in our industry. The company designs and
manufactures patented accessories to provide better stability,
protection, and securitization of floating offshore structures
such as those we have designed for use with our OTEC and Desal
systems. On February 8, 2018, we made a non-binding offer to
acquire the company, which was accepted by the seller. However,
after receiving the due diligence reports from our advisors, on
April 23, 2018 we withdrew our original offer and presented a
revised offer. We are awaiting a formal decision from the seller
and its advisors. In addition, we are in discussions with our
advisors to acquire a US-based commercial air conditioning
engineering company. Both of these companies offer experienced
technical teams and an infrastructure that will support
and enhance our International and US operations. As of
the date of this filing, neither of the transactions have been
consummated.
We have
no significant contractual obligations or commercial commitments
not reflected on our balance sheet as of this date

ITEM 4. 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 March 31, 2018, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange
Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded
that, as of March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective to provide reasonable assurance as of March 31,
2018, because certain deficiencies involving internal controls
constituted material weaknesses, as discussed below.
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.
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 March 31, 2018,
using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control—Integrated
Framework (2013) 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.
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 March 31, 2018.
General Operating Activities
As of
March 31, 2018, 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 the ability to transfer from our bank
accounts.
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.
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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting
during the three months ended March 31, 2018, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY
SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
For the
three months ended March 31, 2018, we issued 90,657 shares of
common stock for services performed with a fair value of
$23,666.
On
January 19, 2018, two holders elected to convert 28,000 warrants
into 28,000 shares of common stock for a value of $7,854 ($0.285
per share) We received this value in cash.
On
February 26, 2018, a holder elected to convert 2,000 warrants into
2,000 shares of common stock for a value of $357 ($0.1785 per
share). We received this value in cash.
On
April 13, 2018, a note holder elected to convert 2,000 warrants
into 2,000 shares of common stock for a value of $595 ($0.2975 per
share). We received this value in cash.
Except
as otherwise noted, the securities in these transactions were sold
in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving any
public offering. Each of the persons acquiring the foregoing
securities was an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D) and confirmed the foregoing and acknowledged, in
writing, that the securities must be acquired and held for
investment. All certificates evidencing the shares sold bore a
restrictive legend. No underwriter participated in the offer and
sale of these securities, and no commission or other remuneration
was paid or given directly or indirectly in connection
therewith.
The
proceeds from these sales were used for general corporate
purposes.

During
2013, we issued a note payable for $290,000 in connection with a
reverse merger transaction. The outstanding balance for this note
at March 31, 2018, was $130,000. We have determined that no further
payment of principal or interest on this note should be made
because the note holder failed to perform his underlying
obligations giving rise to this note. As such, we are confident
that if the note holder were to seek legal redress, his unlawful
conduct would be revealed and a court would decide in our favor by
either voiding the note or awarding damages sufficient to offset
the note value.
During
2014, we issued note payables of $300,000. Accrued interest totaled
$196,629 as of March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018 the notes are
in default. Due to the delay in opening of the Baha Mar Resort, our
Baha Mar SWAC project’s financial closing was delayed causing
us to default on the notes. We intend to repay the notes and
accrued interest upon the project’s financial
closing.
