OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Nature of Business and Business Presentation

Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation is currently in the businesses of:

	·	*OTEC and SWAC/LWAC*—designing ocean thermal energy conversion (“OTEC”) power plants and seawater air conditioning and lake water air conditioning (“SWAC/LWAC”) plants for large commercial properties, utilities, and municipalities. These technologies provide practical solutions to humanity’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 use in agriculture and human consumption in the communities served by its plants. This cold, deep, nutrient-rich water can also be used to cool buildings (SWAC/LWAC) and for fish farming/aquaculture. In short, it is 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 and 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, as networks of smaller subcommunities. We expect that our EcoVillages will grow by the addition of individuals, families, or other small groups.

We expect to use our technology in the development of our EcoVillages, which should add significant value to that line of business.

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 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. Our interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, including the financial statements and notes.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principal Subsidiary Undertakings

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the following subsidiaries:

Name	Place of Incorporation / Establishment	Principal Activities	Date Formed
Ocean Thermal Energy Bahamas Ltd.	Bahamas	Intermediate holding company of OTE BM Ltd. and OTE Bahamas O&M Ltd.	07/04/2011

OTE BM Ltd.	Bahamas	OTEC/SDC development in the Bahamas	09/07/2011

OCEES International Inc.	Hawaii, USA	Research and development for the Pacific Rim	01/21/1998

We have an effective interest of 100% in each of our subsidiaries.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in the valuation of equity-based transactions, valuation of derivative liabilities, and valuation of deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had no cash equivalents.

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 carryforwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary differences and carryforwards 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.

Table of Contents

Our ability to use our net operating loss 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 net operating loss 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.

We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since we became a “loss corporation” under the definition of Section 382. If we have experienced an ownership change, utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code, which is determined by first multiplying the value of our 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 net operating loss 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 our results of operations or financial position.

Business Segments

We operate in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

Fair Value

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, 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, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, deferred compensation, and other liabilities reflected in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

We account for derivative liability at fair value on a recurring basis under level 3 at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 (see Note 5).

Concentrations

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are deposited with major financial institutions, and at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC-insured limits. Management believes the risk in these situations to be minimal. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, no balances exceeded FDIC-insured limits.

Loss per 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 125,073 and 350,073 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and 402,101,029 and 150,541,644 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is antidilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

We account for our revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

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 3: 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 $1,805,094 and used $420,232 of cash in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We had a working capital deficiency of $29,021,016 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $29,212,382 as of September 30, 2021. 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 projects under development. The Biden administration has announced a range of financial support for renewable and sustainable companies. Details from the administration are not available yet, but we are already in the process of filing for financial support. Additional applications for financial support will be made as appropriate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 4: Convertible Notes and Notes Payable

On December 12, 2006, we borrowed funds from the Southeast Idaho Council of Governments (SICOG), the EDA-#180 loan. The interest rate is 6.25%, and the maturity date was January 5, 2013. The remaining loan principal of $3,779 was repaid in full during the quarter ending March 31, 2021.

Note 5: Derivative Liability

We measure the fair value of our assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement.

We identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued. We have determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option should be accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability. We have elected to account for these instruments together with fixed conversion price instruments as derivative liabilities as we cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

* Gains/(losses) related to the revaluation of Level 3 financial liabilities is included in “Change in fair value of derivative liability” in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited statement of operations.

The fair value of the derivative liability was estimated using the income approach and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair values at the commitment and remeasurement dates for our derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions:

	Measurement and
	Remeasurement Date**
Expected dividends		0	%
Expected volatility	153% to 469%
Risk free interest rate	0.01% to 0.29%
Expected term (in years)	.025 to 3.56

** The fair value at the remeasurement date is equal to the carrying value on the balance sheet.

Note 6: Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we issued 29,829,587 shares of common stock to Oasis Capital LLC with a fair value of $922,881 for the conversion of a portion of our notes payable in the amount of $399,625.

On March 31, 2021, we issued 1,693,877 shares of common stock to Oasis Capital, LLC valued at $83,000. This was a settlement of a second commitment for a convertible promissory note dated May 22, 2018. The initial commitment was 400,000 shares of common stock issued on May 22, 2018.

Preferred Stock

On June 3, 2019, our board of directors designated two classes of preferred stock and approved the following issuances:

Series B Preferred Stock – We are authorized to issue 1,250,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001. These shares will not have voting rights alongside the common stock, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into ten shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2021, 518,750 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

Series C Preferred Stock – We are authorized to issue 2,700,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001. These shares are a one-time grant and will have voting rights alongside the common stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will be convertible into five shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2021, 2,300,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

Warrants

The following table summarizes all warrants outstanding and exercisable for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

	Number of		Weighted Average
	Warrants		Exercise Price
Balance at December 31, 2020		125,073	$	0.18
Granted		-		-
Exercised		-		-
Forfeited		-		-
Balance at September 30, 2021		125,073	$	0.18
Exercisable at September 30, 2021		125,073	$	0.18

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, no warrants were exercised. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the excess amount over the exercise price that optionees would have received if all options had been exercised on the last business day of the period indicated, based on our closing stock price of $0.0148 per share on September 30, 2021. Of the total outstanding on September 30, 2021, warrants to purchase 125,073 shares had no intrinsic value, as the price of the stock on that date was lower than the exercise price.

Note 7: 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.

On May 4, 2018, we 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. Between May 30 and July 19, 2018, we received three payments totaling $100,000 from the defendants. On August 8, 2018, an $8 million judgment was entered against the defendants and in our favor. On May 28, 2019, we further settled the claims at issue with two of the defendants, Brett M Regal and his company, Trade Base Sales, Inc. (“Regal Debtors”), for $17,500,000, bringing the combined judgment and settlement amount owed to us is $25,500,000. On July 1, 2019, the United States District Judge for the Central District of California (case number: 2:19-cv-05299-VAP-JPR), approved our stipulated application for an order permitting us to levy on property and appointing a receiver to carry out the levy on Regal Debtors’ property, such that it may be sold (subject to further order of the court approving and confirming such sales), to satisfy the $25,500,000 settlement and judgment amounts in our favor. On August 15, 2019, the court-appointed receiver notified the court that he had taken custody, possession, and control of certain gemstone and mineral specimens, known as the “Ophir Collection” and 350,000 pounds of unrefined gold and other precious metal bearing ore. By order of the court, the receiver was given the authority to assign, sell, and transfer the debtor property. The proceeds of any sales will be used to satisfy the judgment and settlement agreement, receivership’s reasonable costs and fees, as well as any other claims as determined by the court. Various parties have come forward asserting ownership and priority lien rights to the property. In our ongoing efforts to collect the $25,500,000 judgment obtained, a third party has intervened in our case in the Central District of California (case number: 2:19-cv-05299-VAP-JPR), asserting that it is the rightful owner of the “Ophir Collection” of gems and mineral specimens that is now in possession of the court-appointed receiver. The court has not yet addressed the claims of that third party.

On May 21, 2019, Theodore T. Herman filed a complaint against us in Theodore T. Herman v. Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, Case No. CI-19-04780, in the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, asserting that he is entitled to payment on the promissory note described in Note 4: Convertible Notes and Notes Payable. On July 1, 2019, we filed preliminary objections to the complaint, and subsequently filed an answer and new matter on August 20, 2019, to which the plaintiff filed a reply on September 9, 2019. We will continue to defend our position that no further payment on this note is owed.

On August 22, 2018, Fugro USA Maine, Inc. (“Fugro”), filed suit against us in Fugro USA Marine, Inc. v. Ocean Thermal Energy Corp., Cause No. 2018-56396, in the District Court for Harris County, TX, 165th Judicial District, seeking approximately $500,000 allegedly owed for engineering services provided. On June 23, 2020, a settlement was reached under which we would pay Fugro $375,000 by June 30, 2021. We have recorded the amount of accrued legal settlement as of September 30, 2021. We repaid $130,000 and the balance at September 30, 2021 was $245,000. We were unable to pay the remaining balance and therefore entered into a second amendment to the settlement agreement extending the deadline for full payment, with 18% interest per annum, to December 31, 2021.

Consulting Agreements

On June 4, 2018, we entered into a consulting agreement to pay 20,000 shares of common stock when one of the conditions of the contract was satisfied. Although this condition was satisfied on August 31, 2018, as of September 30, 2021, we have not issued the shares, and we have accrued the share compensation at fair value totaling $1,600.

On August 14, 2018, we entered into a consulting agreement to pay $40,000 by issuing shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2021, we have not issued the shares and have accrued the amount.

Employment Agreements

On January 1, 2011, we entered into a five-year employment agreement with our chief executive officer, which provides for successive one-year term renewals unless it is expressly cancelled by either party100 days prior to the end of the term. Under the agreement, our 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 his annual salary plus 500,000 shares of common stock for each additional project that generates $25 million or more in revenue to us. Our 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 September 15, 2017, an addendum was added to the employment agreement stating that effective June 30, 2017, his salary will be increased to $388,220 per year; that he will receive interest at a rate of 8% on his accrued unpaid wages; and that the term of employment agreement is extended for an additional five years.

Note 8: Related-Party Transactions

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we paid rent of $90,000 and $90,000 to a company controlled by our chief executive officer.

On January 18, 2018, Jeremy P. Feakins & Associates, LLC, an investment entity owned by our chief executive, chief financial officer, and a director, agreed to extend the due date for repayment of a $2,265,000 note issued in 2014 to the earlier of December 31, 2020, or the date of the financial closings of our Baha Mar project (or any other project of $25 million or more), whichever occurs first. On August 15, 2018, principal of $618,500 and accrued interest of $207,731 were converted to 826,231 shares at $1.00 per share, which was ratified by a disinterested majority of the board of directors. The conversion was recorded at historical cost due to the related-party nature of the transaction. As of September 30, 2021, the note balance was $1,102,500 and the accrued interest was $824,741. This note is in default.

On March 9, 2017, we issued a promissory note payable of $200,000 to a related party in which our chief executive officer is an officer and director. The note bears interest of 10% and is due and payable within 90 days after demand. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received an additional $2,000 and repaid $25,000. The outstanding balance was $177,000 and accrued interest was $82,214 as of September 30, 2021.

On November 6, 2017, we entered into an agreement and promissory note with JPF Venture Group, Inc. to loan up to $2,000,000 to us. The terms of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 10% per annum; (ii) all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable at the earliest of resolution of the Memphis litigation (as defined therein), December 31, 2020, or when we are otherwise able to pay. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance was $543,093 and the accrued interest was $240,483. This note is in default.

On October 20, 2016, we borrowed $12,500 from an independent director 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) the payee is authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share for each $0.03 of principal amount of the note. This conversion share price was adjusted to $0.01384 for the reverse stock splits. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance was $12,500, plus accrued interest of $3,846.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we issued a series of convertible promissory notes to accredited investors. The notes bear simple interest on outstanding principal at the rate of 8% per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days. Each $5,000 loan automatically converts into 250,000 shares of our common stock, either at the time the closing sale price for our common stock is equal to or greater than $1.00 per share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like, or at the maturity date of October 31, 2021, whichever comes first. On October 14, 2019, we borrowed $5,000 from Jeremy P. Feakins, our chief executive officer.

Each $5,000 loan automatically converts into 250,000 shares of our common stock, either at the time the closing sale price for our common stock is equal to or greater than $1.00 per share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like, or at the maturity date of January 2, 2022, whichever comes first. On December 9, 2019, we borrowed $5,000 from Jeremy P. Feakins, our chief executive officer. On January 21, 2020, we borrowed an additional $5,000 from Jeremy P. Feakins, our chief executive officer.

On January 21, 2020, we borrowed an additional $5,000 from an independent director. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of his loans was $10,000 and the accrued interest was $1,403.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we issued a series of convertible promissory notes to accredited investors, which totaled $285,000. The notes bear simple interest on outstanding principal at the rate of 8% per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days.

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 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 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 can 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 September 30, 2021 and 2020

We had no revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had salaries and wages of $206,146, compared to salaries and wages of $206,866 during the same three-month period for 2020.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded professional fees of $100,895 and $98,250, respectively, an increase of 2.7%.

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $53,538 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $53,340 for the same three-month period for 2020.

Our interest expense was $414,085 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $337,771 for the same period of the previous year, an increase of 22.6%. This change was due to increased debt and higher interest rates on defaulted notes.

Our debt discount amortization was $106,949 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $56,271 for the same period of the previous year. The increase of 90.1% is due to debt discount recorded on additional loans that were obtained during the past year. There was a decrease in the fair value of the derivative liability of $9,584 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a $839,952 increase in the fair value of derivative liability for the same period in 2020. There was a gain on the conversion of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2021, of $59,817 as compared to none in the same period of 2020.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

We had no revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had salaries and wages of $624,377, compared to salaries and wages of $632,405 during the same nine -month period for 2020, a decrease of 1.2%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded professional fees of $664,508 and $420,450, respectively, an increase of 58.1%. Our legal fees for the nine -month periods were higher due to the continuing Memphis litigation issues.

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $148,839 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $181,136 for the same nine -month period for 2020, a 17.8% decrease, primarily resulting from decreases in travel expense and various office expenses.

Our interest expense was $1,293,740 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $984,631 for the same period of the previous year, an increase of 31.4% due to increased debt and higher interest rates on defaulted notes.

Table of Contents

Our debt discount amortization was $253,425 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $153,535 for the same period of the previous year. The increase of 65.1% is due to the debt discount on the convertible notes payable issued during the past year. There was a decrease in the fair value of the derivative liability of $1,074,932 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a $2,571,995 increase in the fair value of the derivative liability for the same period in 2020. There was a gain on the conversion of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, of $104,863 as compared to none in the same period of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2021, our principal source of liquidity consisted of $118,355 of cash, as compared to $7,442 of cash at December 31, 2020. In addition, our accumulated deficit was $88,718,973 at September 30, 2021, compared to an accumulated deficit of $86,913,879 at December 31, 2020, an increase in the deficit of $1,805,094, which is attributable to the net loss during the period.

Our operations used net cash of $420,232 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to using net cash of $549,337 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of 23.5%. The decrease in net cash used in operations is due to the overall decrease in net loss of approximately $3.1 million and the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.6 million, offset by the decrease in the change in the fair value of derivative liability and other noncash items of $3.6 million, as compared to the 2020 period.

Financing activities provided cash of $531,145 for our operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $534,594 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of 0.1%. During nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received $535,000 from convertible notes and notes payable as compared to $567,085 in the same period of 2020.

Our Capital Resources and Anticipated Requirements

As noted above, at September 30, 2021, we had negative working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $29,021,016. We continue to focus our efforts on promoting and marketing our technology and developing contracts for execution. We are exploring external funding alternatives, as our current cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit. Our ability to continue our operations as a going concern is dependent on the success of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets until such time that revenue provided by operations is sufficient to fund working capital requirements. We will require additional funding to finance the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives. 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern. The Biden administration has announced a range of financial support for renewable and sustainable companies. Details from the administration are not available yet, but we are already in the process of filing for financial support. Additional applications for financial support will be made as appropriate.

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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 September 30, 2021, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance as of September 30, 2021, because certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted material weaknesses, as discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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 has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock to Oasis Capital LLC with a fair value of $220,000 for the conversion of a portion of our notes payable in the amount of $113,025.

These securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving any public offering. Oasis Capital is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, and confirmed the foregoing and acknowledged, in writing, that the securities were acquired and will be held for investment. 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.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

On December 1, 2007, we borrowed funds from the Eastern Idaho Development Corporation (the EIDC loan). The interest rate is 7%, and the maturity date was September 1, 2015. The loan principal is $85,821 and the accrued interest is $56,169 as of September 30, 2021. This note is in default.

On September 25, 2009, we borrowed funds from the Pocatello Development Authority. The interest rate is 5%, and the maturity date was October 25, 2011. The loan principal is $50,000 and the accrued interest is $27,712 as of September 30, 2021. This note is in default.

On December 23, 2009, we borrowed funds from SICOG (MICRO II-#275 loan). The interest rate is 7%, and the maturity date was December 23, 2014. The loan principal is $23,610 and the accrued interest is $6,879 as of September 30, 2021. This note is in default.

During 2013, we issued a note payable for $290,000 in connection with the reverse merger transaction with Broadband Network Affiliates, Inc. 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 described in Note 7, the note holder filed suit on May 21, 2019, and we remain confident that the court will decide in our favor by either voiding the note or awarding damages sufficient to offset the note value. As of September 30, 2021, the note balance outstanding was $130,000, and the accrued interest as of that date was $79,862. This note is in default.

During 2014, we issued notes payable of $300,000. Accrued interest totaled $431,112 as of September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the notes are in default. We intend to repay the notes and accrued interest upon the project’s financial closing.

Table of Contents

During the third quarter of 2017, we completed 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) payable two years after purchase; and (iii) all principal and interest on each note automatically converts on the conversion maturity date into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.00 per share, as long as the closing share price of our 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 our shares on such date is less than $4.00 per share, the note (principal and interest) will be repaid in full. During the third quarter of 2019, $15,000 of the note was repaid. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of these notes was $65,000, plus accrued interest of $16,427. The notes are in default.

The outstanding loan balance was $1,161,136, which includes the default penalty, and the accrued interest was $796,664 as of September 30, 2021. These notes are in default.
