HEATWURX, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:


Organization and Business - Heatwurx, Inc. (“Heatwurx,” the “Company”) is an asphalt repair equipment and technology company.  Heatwurx was incorporated on March 29, 2011 as Heatwurxaq, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Heatwurx, Inc. on April 15, 2011.  On January 1, 2014, Heatwurx acquired Dr. Pave, LLC, a service company offering asphalt repair and restoration.  On July 22, 2014 Dr. Pave Worldwide, LLC was organized to offer franchises for the operation of businesses that use the Heatwurx branded equipment and Heatwurx repair process to repair, maintain and preserve roadways.  (Note 6)


2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


Basis of Presentation - These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required in the annual financial statements by U.S. GAAP.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly in all material respects the financial position as of September 30, 2015 and the results of operations for the periods then ended.

  

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2014, and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The Company’s accounting policies did not change in the first half of 2015.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or any future period.


The Company’s consolidated financial statements include Dr. Pave, LLC and Dr. Pave Worldwide, LLC; both wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.


The Company’s financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, as described below, certain factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company also faces certain risks and uncertainties which are present in many emerging companies regarding product development, future profitability, ability to obtain future capital, protection of patents and property rights, competition, rapid technological change, government regulations, recruiting and retaining key personnel, and third party manufacturing organizations.


The Company has previously relied exclusively on private placements with a small group of investors to finance its business and operations.  The Company has had little revenue since inception.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $2,991,000 and utilized approximately $826,000 in cash flows from operating activities.  The Company had cash on hand of approximately $15,000 as of September 30, 2015.  The Company is not able to obtain additional financing adequate to fulfill its commercialization activities, nor achieve a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.   The Company does not currently have any revenue under contract nor does it have any immediate sales prospects.  During the third quarter the Company moved to list the asphalt paving assets and the intellectual property inclusive of patents and trademarks for sale.  Several proposals were submitted to the Company, and following review by the Board of Directors, none were deemed suitable to satisfy the financial requirements of the Company moving forward.  The Company has significantly scaled back operations to maintain only a minimal level of operations necessary to support our licensees, warehouse inventory and look for potential merger candidates.  It is the Company’s intention to move forward as a public entity and to seek other potential merger candidates.  If the Company fails to merge or be acquired by another company, we will be required to terminate all our operations.



7




As of September 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $15,000 cash on hand and is spending approximately $10,000 per month as a result of the significant reduction in employees and overhead, of which only a minor amount was satisfied by gross proceeds from operations or sale of assets.  Hence, the amount of cash on hand is not adequate to meet our ongoing expenses.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received cash in the aggregate of $753,000 and converted a $160,000 secured note plus accrued interest and a $20,000 unsecured note into the $2,000,000 senior secured debt offering commenced in February 2015.  Based upon the Company’s current financial position and inability to obtain additional financing, the Company will not be able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments in 2015 under the $2,000,000 senior secured debt.  The Company will continue to work with the lenders to explore extension or conversion options, but there is no guarantee the lenders will agree to modify the repayment terms of the notes under conditions that will allow the Company to continue to repay the notes, if at all. As these notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights, the Company is in default in regards to interest payments on the notes, and the lenders may call the notes and foreclose on the Company’s assets.   


The issues described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although the Company commenced a $2,000,000 secured debt offering, the Company does not believe it will be able to raise additional amounts under the offering.  The Company has been solely reliant on raising debt and capital in order to maintain its operations.  Previously the Company was able to raise debt and equity financing through the assistance of a small number of investors who have been substantial participants in its debt and equity offerings since the Company’s formation.  These investors have chosen not to further assist the Company with its capital raising initiatives and, at this time, the Company is not able to obtain any alternative forms of financing and the Company will not be able to continue to satisfy its current or long term obligations.  The Company needs to merge with or be acquired by another company.  If a candidate is not identified, the Company will be forced to cease operations all together.


The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


Revenue Recognition - The Company sells its equipment (HWX-30 heater, HWX-30S mobile heater and HWX-AP-40 asphalt processor), as well as certain consumables to third parties.  Equipment sales revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are satisfied:  (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed and determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred.  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement and a fixed or determinable price exist once the Company receives an order or contract from a customer.  The Company assesses collectability at the time of the sale and if collectability is not reasonably assured, the sale is deferred and not recognized until collectability is probable or payment is received.  Typically, title and risk of ownership transfer when the equipment is shipped.


Other revenue represents revenue on consumables, license fees and franchise fees.


Assets held for sale - Measured at Fair Value - In efforts to streamline the operations and expenses the Company has opted to sell or return certain assets to improve cash flow or settle debt.  The assets are expected to be sold within the next 12 months and meet the other relevant held-for-sale criteria are classified as long-lived assets held-for-sale and measured at their fair value based on the Company’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset and on observable market data, when available.  An impairment loss is recorded in the statement of operations for long-lived assets held-for-sale when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. A long-lived asset is not depreciated while it is classified as held-for-sale.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements - From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the future, is not expected to be material to its financial statements upon adoption.




8



The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. An entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.  The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including the interim periods within those fiscal years.


The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter.


The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), was issued in three parts: (a) "Summary and Amendments That Create Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40)," (b) "Conforming Amendments to Other Topics and Subtopics in the Codification and Status Tables," and (c) "Background Information and Basis for Conclusions."  The new presentation guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company is considering the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.


3.  ASSETS HELD FOR SALE:


The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy, which encourages an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:


·

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

·

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly

·

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are unobservable for the assets or liabilities


The Company reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The Company estimated the fair values of long-lived assets based on the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset and on observable market data, when available. The Company classified these fair value measurements as Level 3.

6.  ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT:


On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an individual who is a founder and a current stockholder. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased the related business and activities of the design, manufacture and distribution of asphalt repair machinery under the Heatwurx brand. The total purchase price was $2,500,000.


The business essentially consisted of the investment in research and development of the technology, the patents applied for as a result of the research and development activities and certain distribution relationships that were in process, but not finalized as of the acquisition date.  Collectively, these investments constitute the in-process research and development the Company refers to as the “asphalt preservation and repair solution.” The Company capitalized $2,500,000 of in-process research and development related to this asphalt preservation and repair solution. As of October 1, 2012, in-process research and development is now classified as developed technology and amortized over its estimated useful life of seven years. The initial estimated fair value of the in-process research and development was determined using the income approach.  Under the income approach, the expected future cash flows from the asset are estimated and discounted to its net present value at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return.  Based on the Company’s financial position and substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company has chosen to estimate future cash flows at zero.  The Company recognized an impairment of $1,517,859 during the second quarter of 2015.  As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s developed technology intangible asset had no value.  Amortization expense prior to the impairment for 2015 was $178,571.  The amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $89,286 and $267,856, respectively.





10



In conjunction with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company granted 200,000 performance stock options to a founder of the Company with an exercise price of $0.40 per share and a term of seven years. Following the effectiveness of the seven for one stock split that was completed in October 2011, the 200,000 performance stock options were exchanged for 1,400,000 performance stock options with an exercise price of $0.057 per share.  On February 10, 2015, the founder of the Company elected to cancel the 1,400,000 performance stock options.

8.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:


Common Stock - The Company has authorized 20,000,000 common shares with a $0.0001 par value. There were 11,061,414 shares issued and 11,017,641 outstanding at September 30, 2015 and 9,495,045 shares issued and 10,952,356 outstanding at December 31, 2014.


On October 1, 2014, the Company commenced a non-public equity offering of units at $1.75 per unit (the “Units”).  Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable at $2.00 per share.  The purchase price for the Units is payable in either cash, conversion of outstanding Series D preferred shares or certain outstanding promissory notes.  During the first half of 2015, the Company issued 50,285 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 25,141 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $88,000.


On March 13, 2015 the Company issued 15,000 common shares in exchange for consulting services valued at $25,500.


Preferred Stock - The Company has authorized 4,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a $0.0001 par value.  As holders of any series of preferred stock convert into common shares the preferred shares are no longer outstanding and become available for reissuance.  As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 200 shares of Series B preferred shares that were automatically converted to common shares but have not been converted by transfer agent as of the date of this report and 178,924 Series D preferred shares outstanding.


Series D Preferred Stock - As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 there were 178,924 shares of Series D preferred stock outstanding.


Holders of Series D preferred stock accrue dividends at the rate per annum of $0.24 per share, payable on a quarterly basis. As dividends are accrued and payable quarterly on the Series D preferred stock, the Company paid no dividends during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $31,475 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The Company paid dividends of $49,254 and $138,937 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.  As of September 30, 2015 the Company has dividends payable in accrued expenses of $40,084.


The holders of the Series D preferred stock have conversion rights equivalent to such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Series D original issue price of $3.00 by the then applicable conversion price. Each Series D Share will convert into one share of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder of the Series D Shares or will be converted at the option of the Company at any time the trading price of our common stock is at least $4.50 per share for ten consecutive trading days. The conversion ratio is subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event that the Company issues equity securities at a price equivalent to or less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issue.


The holders of Series D preferred stock have a liquidation preference over the holders of the Company’s common stock equivalent to the purchase price per share of the Series D preferred stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, on the Series D preferred stock. A liquidation would be deemed to occur upon the happening of customary events, including transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s common stock or assets or a merger, or consolidation. The Company believes that such liquidation events are within its control and therefore the Company has classified the Series D preferred stock in stockholders’ equity.


The holders of Series D preferred stock vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all action to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. Each share of Series D preferred stock entitles the holder to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of the Series D preferred stock are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

9.  NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:


The Company computes loss per share of common stock using the two-class method required for participating securities.  The Company’s participating securities include all series of its convertible preferred stock.  Undistributed earnings allocated to these participating securities are added to net loss in determining net loss applicable to common stockholders.  Basic and Diluted loss per share are computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholder by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  


Outstanding options and warrants underlying 3,261,288 shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section and audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Forward-Looking Statements


The statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that represent management’s beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, need for financing, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, ability to retain and recruit personnel, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “should,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “could,” “plans,” or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategy or trends. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements by their nature involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements.


Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to:


·

The ability of the Company to continue any operations without additional funding;

·

risks associated with the asphalt repair industry, including competition, increases in wages, labor relations, energy and fuel costs, actual and threatened pandemics, actual and threatened terrorist attacks, and downturns in domestic and international economic and market conditions;

·

risks associated with the asphalt repair industry, including changes in laws or regulations, increases in taxes, rising insurance premiums, costs of compliance with environmental laws and other governmental regulations;

·

the availability and terms of financing and capital and the general volatility of securities markets;

·

changes in the competitive environment in the asphalt repair industry;

·

risks related to natural disasters;

·

litigation; and

·

other risk factors discussed in the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those expected. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.


Overview and Basis of Presentation


Heatwurx, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 29, 2011 as Heatwurxaq, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Heatwurx, Inc. on April 15, 2011.


We are an asphalt preservation and repair, equipment company. Our innovative, and eco-friendly hot-in-place recycling process corrects surface distresses within the top 3 inches of existing pavement by heating the surface material to a temperature between 325° and 375° Fahrenheit with our electrically powered infrared heating equipment, mechanically loosening the heated material with our processor/tiller attachment that is optimized for producing a seamless repair, and mixing in additional recycled asphalt pavement and a binder (asphalt-cement), and then compacting repaired area with a vibrating roller or compactor.



18



We consider our equipment to be eco-friendly as the Heatwurx process reuses and rejuvenates distressed asphalt, uses recycled asphalt pavement for filler material, eliminates travel to and from asphalt batch plants, and extends the life of the roadway.  We believe our equipment, technology and processes provide savings over other processes that can be more labor and equipment intensive.


Our hot-in-place recycling process and equipment was selected by the Technology Implementation Group of the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (“AASHTO TIG”) as an “additionally Selected Technology” for the year 2012. We develop, manufacture and intend to sell our unique and innovative and eco-friendly equipment to federal, state and local agencies as well as contractors for the repair and rehabilitation of damaged and deteriorated asphalt surfaces.


In January 2014, we acquired Dr. Pave, LLC a service company offering asphalt repair and restoration utilizing the Heatwurx asphalt repair technology.  Our company, together with Dr. Pave, offers asphalt restoration services to municipalities and the commercial sector in southern California.  Do to the slow growth in the service sector the Company has chosen to significantly scale back operations and seek to merge or be acquired by operational asphalt companies within the U.S.; or sell the assets of the Company as stated above.


Effective July 22, 2014, we established a new entity named Dr. Pave Worldwide LLC to house our franchise program providing franchisees with the exclusive Heatwurx equipment and processing.  We formally launched our franchise sales program throughout the U.S. in the third quarter of 2014; however, to date, no franchises have been sold.  The Company has decided not to renew its franchise registrations throughout the U.S. at this time do to the extensive costs.  


We are no longer receiving financial support and we do not believe we will be able to obtain financing from another source at this time.  We do not believe we will be able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments under the $2,000,000 senior secured debt.  As these notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights, and we are in default in regards to interest payments on the notes, the lenders may call the notes and foreclose on our assets.  We believe there is value in the innovative Heatwurx equipment and therefore listed the asphalt paving assets and intellectual property for sale during the third quarter.  Several proposals were submitted, and following review by the Board of Directors, none were deemed suitable to satisfy the financial requirement of the Company moving forward.  The Company intends to move forward as a public entity and seek other potential merger candidates.


Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.  In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.  However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.  Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.


Results of operations


The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included herewith.  This discussion should not be construed to imply that results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future.


For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014


For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our net loss was $2,991,461, compared to a net loss of $2,987,448 for the same period of 2014.  Further description of these losses is provided below.






19




Revenue


Revenue decreased to approximately $125,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $186,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of decreased equipment sales and service revenue during the period.


Cost of goods sold


Cost of goods sold decreased to approximately $83,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $105,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.


Selling, general and administrative


Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $1,188,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $2,195,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is principally due to the significant reduction in operations activities which include a decrease in employee expenses of approximately $606,000; a decrease in advertising and promotion of approximately $240,000; a decrease in travel and office expenses of approximately $140,000 which includes commercial insurance, rent and other expenses; and a decrease in legal and investor relations expenses of $21,000.


As part of the strategy to keep operations running at minimum capacity, we have chosen to sell assets or return collateralized assets to relieve the debt, which are not critical to the continued operations. The items we consider critical will be our Heatwurx branded products the HWX-30 heater; HWX-30S heater, HWX-AP40 processor, which will remain in inventory.  We have reclassified these non-critical assets for sale from equipment or inventory and recognized an impairment loss when the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we recognized an impairment on assets held for sale in the amount of $84,999.


Based on our current financial condition and the inability to obtain financing; we are unable to pursue the necessary commercialization activities to drive us to profitability.  We have therefore estimated no future cash flows related to the intangible assets and have recognized an impairment of intangible assets in the amount of $1,517,859.


As part of the acquisition of Dr. Pave in 2014, we recognized goodwill in the amount of $390,659 as part of the total consideration paid.  We determined goodwill should be immediately impaired as of the acquisition date based on the lack of service revenue for the prior year.  An impairment of goodwill from the acquisition in the amount of $390,659, was recorded as an operating expense in the income statement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.


Research and Development


Research and development decreased to approximately $27,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $180,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of fewer patent applications being filed thereby reducing the legal fees associated therewith, a decrease in manufacturing research and development costs, and a decrease in consulting fees.


For the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014


For the three months ended September 30, 2015, our net loss was $295,743, compared to a net loss of 791,954 for the same period of 2014.  Further description of these losses is provided below.


Revenue


Revenue increased to approximately $58,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $53,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of increased consumable sales offset by a decrease in service revenue during the period.




20




Cost of goods sold


Cost of goods sold increased to approximately $43,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $25,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.


Selling, general and administrative


Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $119,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $677,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is principally due to a significant reduction in operating expenses, employees and overhead costs.  We had a decrease in employee expenses of approximately $324,000; a decrease in travel and office expenses of approximately $123,000 which includes commercial insurance, rent and other expenses; a decrease in advertising and promotion of approximately $92,000 and a decrease in legal fees of approximately $19,000.


As part of the strategy to keep operations running at minimum capacity, we have chosen to sell assets or return collateralized assets to relieve the debt, which are not critical to the continued operations. The items we consider critical will be our Heatwurx branded products the HWX-30 heater; HWX-30S heater, HWX-AP40 processor, which will remain in inventory.  We have reclassified these non-critical assets for sale from equipment or inventory and recognized an impairment loss when the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value.  During the three months ended September 30, 2015 we recognized an impairment on assets held for sale in the amount of $84,999.


Research and Development


Research and development decreased to approximately $1,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of fewer patent applications being filed thereby reducing the legal fees associated therewith, a decrease in manufacturing research and development costs, and a decrease in consulting fees.


Liquidity and capital resources


Overview


We have incurred operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations since inception.  As of September 30, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $15,929,000.


We have previously relied exclusively on private placements with a small group of investors to finance our business and operations.  We have had little revenue since our inception.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred a net loss of approximately $2,991,000 and utilized approximately $826,000 in cash flows from operating activities.  We had cash on hand of approximately $15,000 as of September 30, 2015.  We are not able to obtain additional financing adequate to fulfill our commercialization activities, or achieve a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure.  We do not believe we will be able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments in 2015 under the $2,000,000 senior secured debt.  As these notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights, and we are in default in regards to interest payments on the notes, the lenders may call the notes and foreclose on our assets.  During the quarter we moved to list the asphalt paving assets and intellectual property inclusive of patents and trademarks for sale.  We were unable to receive a reasonable offer and have therefore chosen not to sell the assets.  We have decided to scale back operations significantly to maintain only a minimal level of operations necessary to support our licensees, warehouse inventory and look for potential merger candidates.  It is our intention to move forward as a public entity and to seek other potential merger candidates.  If we fail to merge or be acquired by another company, we will be required to terminate all our operations.


As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $15,000 cash on hand and were spending approximately $10,000 per month as a result of the significant reduction in employees and overhead, of which only a minor amount was satisfied by gross proceeds from operations or sale of assets.  Hence, the amount of cash on hand is not adequate to meet our ongoing expenses.  



21




Financing Activities


On March 1, 2015, we closed our non-public equity offering at $1.75 per unit (the “Units”).  Each Unit consisted of one common share and one-half warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable at $2.00 per share.  The purchase price for the Units was payable in either cash, conversion of outstanding Series D preferred shares or certain outstanding promissory notes.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we raised cash proceeds of $88,000 and issued 50,285 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 25,141 shares of common stock as part of the private equity offering.

  

On February 16, 2015, we entered into a Senior secured loan agreement with JMW Fund, Richland Fund, and San Gabriel Fund (collectively, the “lenders”) whereby the lenders agreed to loan to us up to an aggregate of $2,000,000.  The interest rate on the notes is 12% per annum and monthly interest payments are due the first day each month beginning March 1, 2015.  The notes mature six months from the date of issuance.  If any interest payment remains unpaid in excess of 90 days, and the lender has not declared the entire principal and unpaid accrued interest due and payable, the interest rate on that amount only will be increased to 18% per annum, until the past due interest amount is paid in full.  The notes and any future notes under the loan agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we have issued notes with an aggregate principal amount of $947,361.  


We received $80,000 in short-term unsecured notes in January 2015; which were converted on February 23, 2015 into senior secured notes payable under the $2 million loan agreement as described above, and included above in the aggregate principal amount.  In addition, on February 23, 2015 we converted the outstanding $20,000 short-term unsecured note, entered into during December 2014, into a senior secured note payable under the $2 million loan agreement, included above in the aggregate principal amount.  


In June 2015 we converted $160,000 in secured notes plus accrued interest of $14,361 into senior secured notes payable under the $2 million loan agreement, and is included above in the aggregate principal amount.  


Based upon the Company’s current financial position and inability to obtain additional financing, we do not believe it will be able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments in 2015 under the $2,000,000 senior secured debt.  We will continue to work with the lenders to explore additional extension or conversion options as needed.  These notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights.  We are in default in regards to interest payments on the notes, our assets may be foreclosed upon.


Cash Requirements


The issues described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been solely reliant on raising capital or borrowing funds in order to maintain our operations.  We were able to raise debt and equity financing through the assistance of a small number of our investors who have been substantial participants in its debt and equity offerings since our formation.  These investors have chosen not to assist us with our capital raising initiatives.  At this time we are not able to obtain any alternative forms of financing and we will not be able to continue to satisfy our current or long term obligations.  We desire to merge or be acquired by another company.  If a candidate is not identified we will cease operations all together.


Recent accounting pronouncements


There were no new accounting pronouncements issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that had a material impact or are anticipated to have a material impact on our financial position, cash flows or operating results.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


As a smaller reporting company, we have elected not to provide the disclosure required by this item.





22




ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded, based on evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are (1) not effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission due to the material weakness noted below, and (2) lacking design to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated, organized and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriated, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Material Weakness and Related Remediation Initiatives

Our CEO and CFO concluded the following material weaknesses existed: 1. Due to our budget constraints, our accounting department does not maintain the number of accounting personnel (either in-house or external) necessary to ensure more complete and effective financial reporting controls.  Through the efforts of management, external consultants, and our Audit Committee, we have developed a specific action plan to remediate the material weaknesses. If we are able to secure operating funds, we expect to implement these various action plans during 2015. If we are able to complete these action plans in a timely manner, we anticipate that the material weakness will be remediated by December 31, 2015, if funds are available.  


Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS


We are currently in default under two separate secured notes and, if either of our creditors chooses, our assets will be foreclosed upon and we will have no business operations.


On April 1, 2015, we failed to make a mandatory interest payment under a secured note dated February 16, 2015. The failure to make a mandatory interest payment constituted an event of default under the note. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the note, the creditors may foreclose upon all of the assets of our company.  The Company has not made any interest payments during the third quarter of 2015.


On August 15, 2015, we failed to make a mandatory payment under the revolving line of credit we assumed upon the acquisition of Dr. Pave, LLC by our company. The revolving line of credit is secured by all of the assets of Dr. Pave, LLC. Due to our failure to make the mandatory payment, the creditors under the revolving line of credit could foreclose upon all of the assets of Dr. Pave, LLC.


If any of our creditors who have been issued secured notes elects to foreclose upon our assets, we will no longer have any business operations.


We have substantial indebtedness, which could have adverse consequences to us, and we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to fund our liquidity needs, including servicing our indebtedness.


We currently have substantial indebtedness. Our level of indebtedness has important consequences to us and to existing shareholders and potential investors. For example, our level of indebtedness may:


·

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay interest and principal on our debt, which would reduce the funds available to use for operations, future business opportunities and other general corporate purposes;



23




·

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations, and any failure to comply with such obligations, including financial and other restrictive covenants, could result in an event of default or an inability to borrow under the agreements governing such indebtedness;

·

in the case of a default or an event of default, as applicable, lead to, among other things, an acceleration of our indebtedness or foreclosure on the assets securing our indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition;

·

limit our ability to obtain additional financing, or to sell assets to raise funds, if needed, for working capital, capital expenditures, expansion plans and other investments, which may limit our ability to implement our business strategy;

·

place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to others in the industry as it is not common for companies involved in the asphalt repair business to operate with such high leverage;

·

heighten our vulnerability to downturns in our business, the industry or in the general economy and limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the retail industry; or

·

reduce our ability to carry out our plans to expand our product offerings and sales channels.


Our ability to service our indebtedness is dependent on our ability to generate cash from internal operations or from additional debt or equity offerings sufficient to make required payments on such indebtedness, which is, to a significant extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, some of which factors are further described in this “Risk Factors” section. We are permitted by the terms of our indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness; however, we have recently only received funds from a limited number of related parties and those related parties have ceased funding our operations. We have experienced negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, and our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or from debt or equity offerings to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We currently most likely be unable to make required payments on our secured line of credit which would result in a default and possible foreclosure of all of our assets. Such event could have a material adverse effect on us and we may need to take various actions, including seeking to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, seeking additional debt or equity financing or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, and we may not be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms or at all.


We have a single member of management holding the positions of Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, and also is the sole member of the board of directors.


Effective August 31, 2015 David Dworsky resigned from his position as a director of the Company and John P. McGrain was appointed as a director of the Company to replace Mr. Dworsky.  On September 14, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed John McGrain, as Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company.    On September 15, 2015, Donald Larson a director and chairman of the compensation committee and Gus Blass III a director and chairman of the audit committee resigned from their positions with the Company. As a result of the resignations, Mr. McGrain remains our sole director and officer.  Mr. McGrain is also a member of JMW Fund, LLC, San Gabriel Fund, LLC, Richland Fund, LLC, and Arroyo Fund, LLC, all of which are significant equity and debt holders of the Company. A conflict of interest may arise between the best interests of our company and the best interests of Mr. McGrain's other business interests. In such a situation where a conflict of interest exists any decision by Mr. McGrain which furthers the best interests of his other business interest may be harmful to our business. Additionally, we have no established parameters or understandings regarding the allocation of present or future business opportunities between us and Mr. McGrain’s other business interests.


Our sole officer and director established his own internal controls over our financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures. He is responsible for monitoring these controls and has limited experience that may lead to errors and omissions.


Mr. McGrain, as our sole officer and director is responsible for maintaining our financial reporting, including proper accounting records, selecting appropriate accounting principles, safeguarding assets and complying with relevant laws and regulations. His lack of experience may lead to inadequate controls and procedures resulting in errors and omissions that may go undetected and jeopardize the viability of our company.




24



If we lose the services of Mr. McGrain we will be left without management.


Mr. McGrain is currently our sole director and officer. If we are unable to find a replacement prior to the loss of his services our business may fail.


We rely on consultants and if we are unable to retain these or other similarly qualified individuals, we may not be able to carry out our business operations.


We are dependent upon service providers for accounting and legal matters. Loss of their services would adversely affect our business and our ability to maintain our operations. We may lose the services of our current consultants due to non-payment. If we lose the services of these consultants and are unable to find replacement consultants or similarly qualified individuals, our business may fail.


Our sole officer and director does not have experience in public company matters, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.


Our sole officer and director has no public company management experience or responsibilities.  This could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable federal securities laws including filing required reports and other information required on a timely basis.  There can be no assurance that our management will be able to implement and affect programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements imposed by such laws and regulations.  Our failure to comply with such laws and regulations could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties and further result in the deterioration of our business.


Because our sole officer and director has no experience with the asphalt restoration industry, we may not generate material sales and we face a high risk of failure.


Our sole officer and director has no experience operating an asphalt restoration business.  As such, there can be no assurance that we will be able to implement planned principal operations or generate any sales, and face a high risk of business failure.


ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION


Effective September 30, 2015, we engaged Cutler & Co., LLC (“Cutler”) as our principal accountant for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 and the interim periods for 2015. The decision to change principal accountants was approved by our Board of Directors.

 

During our two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, we have not consulted with the entity of Cutler regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor did the entity of Cutler provide advice to us, either written or oral, that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

 

Further, during our two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, we have not consulted the entity of Cutler on any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.


On November 20, 2015, we were notified that Cutler was merging with Pritchett, Siler & Hardy PC (“PS&H”) and effective immediately PS&H would be our independent registered public accounting firm for the filing of our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2015.  As Cutler is viewed as a separate legal entity, we dismissed Cutler as our principal accountant and engaged PS&H, as our principal accountant for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 and the interim periods for 2015.  The decision to change principal accountants was approved by our Board of Directors.


None of the reports of Cutler, on our financial statements for either of the past two years or subsequent interim period contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.



25




There were no disagreements between the Company and Cutler, for the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through November 20, 2015 (date of dismissal) on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Cutler, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.  Further, Cutler has not advised us that:


1)

internal controls necessary to develop reliable financial statements did not exist; or


2)

information has come to the attention of Cutler which made it unwilling to rely upon management's representations, or made it unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management; or


3)

the scope of the audit should be expanded significantly, or information has come to the attention of Cutler that they have concluded will, or if further investigated, might materially impact the fairness or reliability of a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.


On or about November 20, 2015, we engaged PS&H as our principal accountant to audit our financial statements as successor to Cutler.  During our two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, we have not consulted with the entity of PS&H regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor did the entity of PS&H provide advice to us, either written or oral, that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.


Further, during our two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, we have not consulted the entity of PS&H on any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
