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.
2.
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 March 31, 2017.
The Companys consolidated financial statements include Dr. Pave, LLC and Dr. Pave Worldwide, LLC; both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, which are represented in the Companys discontinued operations (Note 3). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Interim Financial Statements - These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2016, 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, 2016. Our accounting policies did not change in the first three months of 2017. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any future period.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include managements assessments of the carrying value of certain assets.
Going Concern and Managements Plan - The Companys financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP and are subject to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company faces certain risks and uncertainties that 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 three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $75,627 and used approximately $1,598 in net cash from operating activities from continuing operations. The Company had total cash on hand of approximately $1,639 as of March 31, 2017. 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 Companys cost structure. The Company does not currently have any revenue under contract nor does it have any immediate sales prospects. The Company has significantly reduced employees and overhead. The decision to cease operations of Dr. Pave, LLC and Dr. Pave Worldwide, LLC was made on December 31, 2015. These business components are captured within discontinued operations as of March 31, 2017 (Note 3). The Company has significantly scaled back operations to maintain only a minimal level of operations necessary to support our licensee, warehouse the equipment held for the licensee and look for potential merger candidates. It is the Companys intention to move forward as a public entity and to seek potential merger candidates. If the Company fails to merge or be acquired by another company, we will be required to terminate all operations.
6
Based upon the Companys current financial position and inability to obtain additional financing, the Company was not able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments in 2016 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 the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights, the Company is in default in regard to interest payments on the notes, and the lenders may call the notes and foreclose on the Companys assets.
The issues described above raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. 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 Companys 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.
Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Net income (loss) per share - The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts pursuant to ASC 260-10-45. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock during the period. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first day of the year for any potentially diluted debt or equity. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities since that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Subsequent events - The Company follows the guidance in ASC 855-10-50 for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued.
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, we believe that the impact of recently issued guidance will not be material to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets other than Inventory (ASU 2016-16), which would require the recognition of the tax expense from the sale of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are considering the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-16 may have on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
7
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15), which standardizes cash flow statement classification of certain transactions, including cash payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment, proceeds from insurance claim settlements, and distributions received from equity method investments. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted. We are considering the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-15 may have on our presentation of cash flows.
From May 2014 through December 2016, the FASB issued several ASUs related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These ASUs are intended to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, although entities may adopt one year earlier if they choose. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. We do not believe this new standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
3.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
In efforts to streamline operations and expenses the Company elected to discontinue the Dr. Pave and Dr. Pave Worldwide entities during 2015. The financial results of these events are represented in discontinued operations included in the March 31, 2017 and 2016 financial statements.
The operating results of the discontinued operations of Dr. Pave and Dr. Pave Worldwide for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are summarized below:

Based upon the Companys financial position, the Company does not believe it will be able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments in 2017. The Company will work with the lenders to explore extension or conversion options. There is no guarantee the lenders will accommodate our requests. The Company is in default in regard to interest payments on the notes, the Companys assets may be foreclosed upon.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:
The Company computes loss per share of common stock using the two-class method required for participating securities. The Companys 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 1,954,475 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 calculation of the numerator and denominator for basic and diluted net loss per common share is as follows:

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. 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.
12
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.
During 2014, we acquired Dr. Pave, LLC a service company offering asphalt repair and restoration utilizing the Heatwurx asphalt repair technology and established a new entity Dr. Pave Worldwide LLC to house our franchise program providing franchisees with the exclusive Heatwurx equipment and processing. We 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 decided not to renew its franchise registrations throughout the U.S. do to the extensive costs. In 2015, we offered license agreements, which grants a license of all Heatwurx equipment and supplies and the use of the Heatwurx intellectual property within a specified territory. We have one licensee as of March 31, 2017.
We are no longer receiving financial support and we do not believe we will be able to obtain financing from another source. We do not believe we are able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. Do to the slow growth in the service sector and the high cost of the franchise registrations, we discontinued the operations of Dr. Pave, LLC and Dr. Pave Worldwide LLC. In addition, we significantly scaled back operations to maintain only a minimal level of operations necessary to support our licensee and look for potential merger candidates. The Company sold the remaining equipment and inventory to the licensee during 2016. Based upon the Companys current financial position, the Company does not believe it will be able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments. The Company will work with the lenders to explore extension or conversion options. There is no guarantee the lenders will accommodate our requests. As of March 31, 2017; principal in the amount of $962,361 is outstanding and payable under the secured notes. These notes are secured by all the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights. We are in default on the notes, and as a result the Companys assets may be foreclosed upon.
The issues described above raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. It is our intention to move forward as a public entity and to seek potential merger candidates. If the Company fails to merge or be acquired by another company, we will be required to terminate all operations.
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 three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our net loss was approximately $76,000, compared to a net loss of approximately $134,000 including loss from discontinued operations of approximately $2,000 for the same period of 2016. Further description of these losses is provided below.
13
Revenue
The Company did not recognize any revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $5,000 in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Operations have been significantly reduced; the Company sold equipment to our licensee in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not anticipate any revenue during 2017 from equipment sales.
Cost of goods sold
The Company had no cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from approximately $81,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is principally due to the significant reduction in operating activities which include a decrease in employee expenses of approximately $51,000; a decrease in travel and office expenses of approximately $8,000 which includes commercial insurance, rent and other expenses; and a decrease in legal and investor relations expenses of $8,000.
Research and Development
The Company had approximately $100 in research and development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2017; and no research and development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company is only utilizing legal representation to maintain the existing patents.
Liquidity and capital resources
Overview
We have incurred operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $15,341,000 from operating activities. The Company had total cash on hand of approximately $1,600 as of March 31, 2017. 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 Companys cost structure.
Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company used $1,598 in cash for continuing operations compared to cash used of $43,900 for continuing operations and $6,469 for discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2016. This decrease in cash used for operating activities was due to the significant reduction in employees and overhead expenses. The Company has had little revenue since inception. The Company does not currently have any revenue under contract nor does it have any immediate sales prospects. The Company has significantly scaled back operations to maintain only a minimal level of operations necessary to support our licensee and look for potential merger candidates. For the year three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $76,000. The operations of Dr. Pave, LLC and Dr. Pave Worldwide, LLC were discontinued in 2015 and have not activity in the current period. These business components are included in discontinued operations as of March 31, 2017. It is the Companys intention to move forward as a public entity and to seek potential merger candidates. If the Company fails to merge or be acquired by another company, we will be required to terminate all operations.
Investing Activities
There were no investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to proceeds of $27,000 from the sale of assets held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
14
Financing Activities
There were no investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $15,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2016. This decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due to the Company no longer receiving financial support for the business and operations from their small group of investors. The Company entered into a Senior secured loan agreement on February 16, 2015, extended on March 23, 2016, with JMW Fund, Richland Fund, and San Gabriel Fund (collectively, the lenders) whereby the lenders agreed to loan to the Company 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 the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights. Upon the occurrence of an event of default the lenders have the right to foreclose on the assets of the Company.
Based upon the Companys current financial position and inability to obtain additional financing, we do not believe it will be able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments 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 the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights. We are in default 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 three months ended March 31, 2017 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.
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.
15
Material Weakness and Related Remediation Initiatives
Our management concluded that as of March 31, 2017, the following material weaknesses existed: 1. Due to the Companys budget constraints, the Companys 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 Director, we have developed a specific action plan to remediate the material weaknesses. Due to the significant reduction in operations, the Company was unable to remediate the material weakness during 2017.
We have fewer than 300 record holders and, thus, our reporting obligations were automatically suspended. As a voluntary filer, we may choose to cease filing Exchange Act reports at any time.
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 our most recent fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
