In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider the risks that the anticipated outcome is subject to, including the factors discussed under "RISK FACTORS" in previous filings and elsewhere.

Actual results may differ from projected results due, but not limited to, unforeseen developments, including those relating to the following:

We fail to raise capital;
·
We fail to implement our business plan;
·
We fail to compete at producing cost effective products;

Market demand for electricity and alternative energy sources;
·
The availability of additional capital at reasonable terms to support our business plan;
·
Economic, competitive, demographic, business and other conditions in our markets;
·
Changes or developments in laws, regulations or taxes in the energy industry;

You should read this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, future financings, performance, or achievements.

JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT DISCLOSURE
We qualify as an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act). An issuer qualifies as an emerging growth company if it has total annual gross revenues of less than $1.0 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year, and will continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
| | the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1.0 billion or more; |
| | the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement; |
| | the date on which the issuer has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or |
3
| | the date on which the issuer is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, as defined in Section 240.12b-2 of the Exchange Act. |
As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from various reporting requirements. Specifically, we are exempt from the following provisions:
| | Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires evaluations and reporting related to an issuers internal controls; |
| | Section 14A(a) of the Exchange Act, which requires an issuer to seek shareholder approval of the compensation of its executives not less frequently than once every three years; and |
| | Section 14A(b) of the Exchange Act, which requires an issuer to seek shareholder approval of its so-called golden parachute compensation, or compensation upon termination of an employees employment. |
Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
Smaller Reporting Company
We are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the SEC, as a smaller reporting company. That designation will relieve us of some of the informational requirements of Regulation S-K.
Sarbanes/Oxley Act
Except for the limitations excluded by the JOBS Act discussed under the preceding heading Emerging Growth Company, we are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes/Oxley Act created a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies auditors; management assessment of our internal controls; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; requires companies and auditors to evaluate internal controls and procedures; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions. Compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act will substantially increase our legal and accounting costs.
Exchange Act Reporting Requirements
Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act like we are to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to shareholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our shareholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A (where proxies are solicited) or 14C (where consents in writing to the action have already been received or anticipated to be received) of Regulation 14, as applicable; and preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our shareholders. We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Q2Power Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on August 26, 2004. The Company is primarily a holding company for its sole subsidiary, Q2Power Corp. Formerly, the Companys name was Anpath Group, Inc. (Anpath).
The Company, through its subsidiary, Q2Power Corp. (the Subsidiary or Q2P), has operated a renewable power R&D company focused on the conversion of waste to energy and other valuable reuse products since July 2014. The operations of the Company are essentially those of the Subsidiary. In May 2016, the Company began exploring other synergistic business lines, such as composting from waste water biosolids. Although no operations in these fields have commenced, management has made progress towards acquiring certain operational composing facilities in the U.S. Moving forward, the Company intends to phase out its R&D activities and focus entirely on the business of compost and engineered soils manufacturing and sales.
On November 12, 2015, the Company and its special purpose merger subsidiary completed a merger (the Merger) with Q2P. As a result of the Merger, all outstanding shares of Q2P were exchanged for 24,034,475 shares of the Companys common stock. In addition, the Company assumed both the Q2P 2014 Founders Stock Option Plan and the 2014 Employees Stock Option Plan (the Option Plans), and 1,095,480 options outstanding thereunder. Also pursuant to the Merger, the officers and directors of Q2P assumed control over the management and Board of Directors of the Company. Subsequent to the Merger, the Company officially changed its name to Q2Power Technologies, Inc.
On December 1, 2015, in connection with the Merger the Company also sold its prior operating subsidiary, EnviroSystems Inc. (ESI), to three former shareholders in exchange for a return of 470,560 shares of the Companys common stock. ESI assumed all debt, payables and a litigation judgment that was on its books as of the Merger date.
On February 12, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Company from March 31 to December 31. This change is a result of the Merger, and reflects the fiscal year-end period for Q2P.
NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
The unaudited condensed financial statements include all accounts of the Company. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The December 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet information contained herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KT filed on April 14, 2016. The audited consolidated financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph in the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, regarding substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has incurred a net loss of $1,183,231 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which included a gain from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $724,415. The accumulated deficit since inception is $6,548,611, which is comprised of operating losses (which were paid in cash, stock for services and other equity instruments) and other expenses. The Company has a working capital deficit at September 30, 2016 of $1,812,489. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital sufficient to support its operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on managements
9
plans which include implementation of its business model to generate revenue from product sales and royalties, acquisition of cash-flowing businesses, and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity offerings. The Company will also likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing, which may not be available at the time required by the Company. See also Note 12, Subsequent Events.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the period. On an on-going basis, the Company reviews and evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those that relate to the realizable value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, derivative liabilities, income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References herein to the Company include the Company and its subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires.
Cash
The Company considers all unrestricted cash, short-term deposits, and other investments with original maturities of no more than ninety days when acquired to be cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows. The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions, and has experienced no losses with respect to amounts on deposit.
At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, cash held in banks totaled $319 and $1,012, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the Companys waste-to-power operations is recognized at the date of shipment of engines and systems, engine prototypes, engine designs or other deliverables to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery or milestone deliverable is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company will not allow its customers to return prototype products.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized revenue of $0 and $40,000, respectively. The $40,000 was related to the first achieved milestone and delivery under a technology sales agreement. The Company also received an additional $50,000 upon signing of that agreement, which is accounted for as deferred revenue that will be recognized upon contract completion.
Research and Development
Research and development activities for product development are expensed as incurred. Costs for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $43,154 and $372,533, respectively. Costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $355,884 and $1,056,924, respectively.
10
Stock Based Compensation
The Company applies the fair value method of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Share Based Payment, in accounting for its stock based compensation. This standard states that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company values stock based compensation at the market price for the Companys common stock and other pertinent factors at the grant date.
The Company accounts for transactions in which services are received from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the equity instruments exchanged, in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity Based payments to Non-employees. The Company measures the fair value of the equity instruments issued based on the market price of the Companys stock at the time services or goods are provided.
Common Stock Options
The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation method is used to determine fair value of these options consistent with ASC 718, Share Based Payment. Use of this method requires that the Company make assumptions regarding stock volatility, dividend yields, expected term of the awards and risk-free interest rates.
Derivatives
Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes are therein generally recognized in profit or loss.
Software, Property and Equipment
Software, property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
|
| Years | |
Software |
| 2 | |
Furniture and equipment |
| 7 | |
Computers |
| 5 |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets and other long lived assets to determine whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. To date, the Company has not recognized any impairment charges.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are
11
reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in managements view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.
In the event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2016, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to any unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a component of income taxes.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
On July 22, 2015, the previous Board of Directors authorized that the Company effectuate a reverse split of its issued and outstanding Common Stock in the ratio of one (1) post-split share of Common Stock for every seven (7) shares of pre-split Common Stock, while retaining the current par value of $0.0001 per share, with appropriate adjustments being made in the additional paid-in capital and stated capital accounts of the Company, with all fractional shares that would otherwise result from such reverse split being rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split has been retroactively adjusted throughout the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss less preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss less preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus any potentially dilutive shares related to the issuance of stock options, shares issued from the conversion of convertible preferred stock and shares issued for the issuance of convertible debt. There were no potentially dilutive shares as of September 30, 2016 and 2015.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to replace the existing revenue recognition criteria for contracts with customers and to establish the disclosure requirements for revenue from contracts with customers. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption of the ASU is either retrospective to each prior period presented or retrospective with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings or accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements; however, in light of the material changes in the Companys business model which have occurred after September 30, 2016, the Company expects to do further review in the second quarter of 2017.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718) or ASU 2014-12. ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 were effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern, to provide guidance within GAAP requiring management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern and requiring related disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, or ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 amends current presentation guidance by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. We adopted the
12
provisions of ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Assets, requiring management to provide a classification of all deferred taxes as noncurrent assets or noncurrent liabilities. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact to the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, requiring management to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the Update), requiring management to recognize any right-to-use-asset and lease liability on the statement of financial position for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The criteria used to determine such classification is essentially the same as under the previous guidance, but it is more subjective. The lessee would classify the lease as a finance lease if certain criteria at lease commencement are met. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which applies to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options, and requires that embedded derivatives be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as derivatives if certain criteria are met. One criterion is that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation. The ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including the income tax effects of share-based payments and accounting for forfeitures. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard amends and adjusts how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless impracticable. If impracticable the Company would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date possible. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-15 will have on its statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.
Concentration of Risk
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk. The Company expects cash and accounts receivable to be the two assets most likely to subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Companys policy is to maintain its cash with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its risk of loss exposure.
13
The Company maintains cash accounts in two quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts through September 30, 2016.
The Company purchased much of its machined parts through Precision CNC, a related party company that sublet office space to Q2P through June 27, 2016, and owns a non-controlling interest in the Company. See Note 6.

NOTE 5 CYCLONE SEPARATION, LICENSE RIGHTS AND DEFERRED REVENUE
In 2014, Q2P purchased for $175,000 certain licensing rights to use Cyclone Power Technologies (Cyclone) patented technology on a worldwide, exclusive basis for 20 years with two 10-year renewal terms for Q2Ps waste heat and waste-to-power business. This agreement contains a royalty provision equal to 5% of gross sales payable to Cyclone on sales of engines derived from technology licensed from Cyclone.

During the first nine months of 2016, members of the Companys Board of Directors made several loans and advances to the Company, as follows:
·
On January 8, 2016, a member of the Board of Directors made an advance to the Company totaling $10,500 with a 6% per annum rate, payable on demand. As of September 30, 2016, such advance is still outstanding.
·
On April 29, 2016, the Companys three independent Directors loaned to the Company a total of $60,200 pursuant to three Convertible Notes which are automatically convertible into the equity securities issued in the Companys next financing of at least $1,000,000 at the same price and same terms. The Convertible Notes bear 8% interest and have a 10% Original Issuance Discount. The total principal amount of all three Notes was $66,000. The Notes mature in October 2016, and can be converted to common stock at $0.26 per share if a qualified financing event has not occurred by such time.
·
On June 13, 2016, one of the Companys independent directors loaned $15,000 to the Company on the same terms as the April 2016 notes, with a principal amount of $16,667.
·
In September 2016, three of the Companys Directors advanced $1,000 each for payment of insurance premiums. There were no formal terms for these advances; however, the Company started to impute 8% per annum interest in connection with the March 2017 conversion of the advances into the Convertible Promissory Note Bridge offering (see below).
15
In March 2017, all outstanding Director notes and advances with an aggregate amount of $168,152 were converted into the Companys new $1,500,000 Convertible Promissory Note Bridge offering (see Note 12, Subsequent Events).
NOTE 7 NOTES PAYABLE AND DEBENTURES
On July 2, 2014, the Company (then Anpath, under different management) closed a financing by which one accredited investor purchased two Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the Debentures) in the total aggregate principal amount of $435,500 due March 31, 2015, and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase a total of 415,000 shares at $2.45 per share (based on post 7:1 reverse split numbers), exercisable for a period of five years. The Debentures do not bear interest, but contained an Original Issue Discount of $20,750. All assets of the Company are secured under the Debentures, including our Subsidiary and its assets. The Debentures and warrants contain certain anti-dilutive protection provisions in the instance that the Company issues stock at a price below the stated conversion price of the debentures, as well as other standard protections for the holder.
On September 23, 2015, the Company entered into a Modification and Extension Agreement with the two holders to modify the terms of the Debentures to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2016, and reset the conversion price of the Debentures to $0.21. Pursuant to the Merger, the Debentures and warrants remained an outstanding obligation of the Company, thus were assumed by Q2P.
In January 2016, another accredited investor purchased $105,000 in outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures from the current holder. The Company did not receive any consideration in this transaction as it was a transfer amongst the holders of the convertible debentures.
In March 2017, the Company entered into a second Modification and Extension Agreement with the two holders to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2017, reset the conversion price to $0.15, and waive any defaults under the Debentures. The warrants exercise price, which had been reset to $0.50 per verbal agreement of the parties in the third quarter of 2016, was formally documented under this March 2017 modification agreement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, aggregate principal of $270,750 was converted to 1,289,285 shares of common stock (see Note 9).
On March 15, 2016, the Company entered into a 120-day term loan agreement with one accredited investor in the principal amount of $150,000. The loan bears 20% interest with interest payments due monthly. The Company incurred loan issuance costs of 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $26,000, $3,000 cash and provided a second security interest in the assets of the Company to the holders. Issuance costs expensed in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $3,595 and $29,000, respectively. At September 30, 2016, the loan costs had been fully amortized and the loan balance was $150,000, and accrued interest related to the loan was $4,000. This loan matured on July 15, 2016, and a 10% late penalty was assessed on July 15, 2016.
On March 22, 2017, the Company and the term loan holder entered into an Addendum to the loan agreement which extended the maturity date to December 31, 2017, allowed for conversion of the principal amount and accrued interest at the discretion of the holder to common stock at a price of $0.15 per share, and waived all defaults in return for payment of $30,000 which included the late fee and accrued but unpaid interest.
In May 2016, three investors loaned to the Company a total of $26,709 pursuant to three Convertible Notes, which are automatically convertible into the equity securities issued in the Companys next financing of at least $1,000,000 at the same price and same terms. These notes are the same securities issued to the Companys Directors in April and June 2016 (see Note 6). The notes bear 8% interest and have a 10% Original Issuance Discount. The total principal amount of all three notes was $33,000. The notes mature in six months, and can be converted to common stock at $0.26 per share if a qualified financing event has not occurred by such time. In March 2017, these notes were converted into the Companys new $1,500,000 Convertible Promissory Note Bridge offering (see Note 12, Subsequent Events).

NOTE 8 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DERIVATIVES
The Company measures fair value in accordance with a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
Level 2 | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
Level 3 | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
All derivatives recognized by the Company are reported as derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are adjusted to their fair value at each reporting date. Unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments are included in change in value of derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The following table sets forth the Companys condensed consolidated financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

There were no transfers between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
As part of the Merger, the Company assumed debentures that are convertible into shares of common stock, which Anpath issued in July 2014 (see Note 7). The debentures conversion price will be adjusted depending on various circumstances. The conversion options embedded in these instruments contain no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon settlement and as a result are classified as derivative liabilities under ASC 815. Additionally, the Company issued in connection with the debentures 415,000 warrants to purchase the Companys common stock. The conversion price will be adjusted depending on various circumstances, and as there is no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon settlement they are classified as derivative liabilities under ASC 815.
The terms of the convertible redeemable preferred stock (see Note 9) include an anti-dilution provision that requires an adjustment in the common stock conversion ratio should subsequent issuances of the Companys common stock be issued below the instruments original conversion price of $0.26 per share, subject to certain defined excluded issuances. In 2015 per modification agreement with the holders, the conversion price was reset to $0.21. Accordingly, we bi-furcated the embedded conversion feature, which is shown as a derivative liability recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The agreement setting forth the terms of the common stock warrants issued to the holders of the convertible preferred stock (see Note 9) also includes an anti-dilution provision that requires a reduction in the warrants exercise price of $0.50 should the conversion ratio of the convertible preferred stock be adjusted due to anti-dilution provisions. Accordingly, the warrants do not qualify for equity classification, and, as a result, the fair value of the derivative is shown as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On February 2, 2016, the two debenture holders converted a total of $40,000 of their debentures for 190,476 shares of common stock. One of the holders converted another $31,500 in its debenture on March 11, 2016 for 150,000 shares of common stock, and then converted an additional $31,500 on June 22, 2016 for 150,000 shares of common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the debenture holders converted an additional $167,750 of principal into 798,809 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the conversion of these debentures, the Company reclassified a total of $125,975 of derivative liabilities to additional paid in capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The changes in fair value of these derivative liabilities were recorded in the statement of operations until the date of conversion.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of items measured at fair value on a recurring basis that use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) and the related realized and unrealized gains (losses) recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the period:

The Companys derivative liabilities are valued by using Black Scholes methods which approximate Monte Carlo Simulation methods. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. These derivative liabilities do not trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs cannot generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following assumptions were used to value the Companys derivative liabilities at September 30, 2016: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 98.27 167.35%, risk free rates of 0.59 - 1.14% and an expected term of 0.8 years to 4.3 years.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company continues to refine its estimates and has updated the volatility used in its valuation models and the underlying number of shares of common stock for the derivative warrants. The net impact of these adjustments resulted in a $117,456 increase in the fair value of derivative liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which could have been reflected as part of the estimated fair value of these derivative liabilities at December 31, 2015. However, the Company recorded these true-up adjustments during 2016 given the inherent nature of Level 3 fair value measures. The Company recorded a total of $724,415 and $131,530 for the change in fair value of all the Level 3 derivatives during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 9 COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS

On March 11, 2016, one of the debenture holders converted $31,500 of their debentures for 150,000 shares of restricted common stock.
On March 15, 2016, the Company issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to the holder of the Companys 120-day term loan valued at $26,000 for the fair value of the services rendered related to this loan.
On April 8, 2016, the Company issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $26,000 to a consultant in connection with the negotiation of the settlement with Cyclone detailed in Note 5.
On June 22, 2016, one debenture holder converted a total of $31,500 of its debenture for 150,000 shares of common stock.
On June 27, 2016, the Company issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $10,500 as partial consideration for the payment of accounts payable to an affiliated vendor.
Between July 11, 2016 and August 16, 2016, the two debenture holders converted a total of $167,750 of their debentures for 798,809 shares of restricted common stock.
Between July 20, 2016 and August 9, 2016, six accredited investors purchased a total of 750,000 shares of restricted common stock at a price of $0.21 per share for $157,500.
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On January 11, 2016, the Company issued 100 shares of Preferred Stock valued at $100,000 to an accredited investor (the Preferred Stock).
The Companys Preferred Stock was convertible at $0.21 per share of the Companys common stock (the Conversion Price) as of September 30, 2016. In March 2017, that conversion price was reset to $0.15 per the terms of a Modification and Extension Agreement. The Preferred Stock bears a 6% dividend per annum, calculable and payable per quarter in cash or additional shares of common stock as determined in the Certificate of Designation. The Preferred Stock has no voting rights until converted to common stock, and has a liquidation preference equal to the Purchase Price. On the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the Two Year Redemption Date), the Company is obligated to redeem all of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, for an amount in cash equal to the Two Year Redemption Amount (such redemption, the Two Year Redemption). Each share of Preferred Stock receives warrants (the Warrants) equal to one-half of the Purchase Price to purchase common stock in the Company exercisable for five (5) years following closing at a price of $0.50 per share.
The Preferred Stock has price protection provisions in the case that the Company issues any shares of stock not pursuant to an Exempt Issuance at a price below the Conversion Price. Exempt Issuances include: (i)
20
shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents issued pursuant to the Merger or any funding contemplated by the Merger; (ii) any common stock or convertible securities outstanding as of the date of closing; (iii) common stock or common stock equivalents issued in connection with strategic acquisitions; (iv) shares of common stock or equivalents issued to employees, directors or consultants pursuant to a plan, subject to limitations in amount and price; and (v) other similar transactions. The Certificate of Designation contains restrictive covenants not to incur certain debt, repurchase shares of common stock, pay dividends or enter into certain transactions with affiliates without consent of holders of 67% of the Preferred Stock. The unconverted shares of Preferred Stock must be redeemed in two years from issuance.
Management has determined that the Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt security than equity primarily because it contains a mandatory 2-year redemption at the option of the holder, which only occurs if the Preferred Stock is not converted to common stock. Therefore, management has presented the Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity as mezzanine equity, which does not factor in to the totals of either liabilities or equity. The proceeds have been allocated between the three features of the stock offering: the embedded conversion feature in the Preferred Stock, the warrants, and the Preferred Stock itself. The fair values of the embedded conversion feature and warrants were recorded as a discount against the stated value of the Preferred Stock on the date of issuance. This discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the redemption period (2 years), which will result in the accretion of the Preferred Stock to its full redemption value. Unamortized discount as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $160,879 and $184,764, respectively. Interest expense related to the preferred stock discount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $34,662 and $102,923, respectively.
The Preferred Stock also carries a 6% per annum dividend calculated on the stated value of the stock and is cumulative and payable quarterly beginning July 1, 2016. These dividends are accrued at each reporting period. They add to the redemption value of the stock; however, as the Company shows an accumulated deficit, the charge has been recognized in additional paid-in capital. The Company has accrued but not paid these dividends beginning July 1, 2016.

NOTE 10 STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
On July 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of Q2P approved the Founders Stock Option Plan (Founders Plan") and the 2014 Employee Stock Option Plan (the 2014 Plan), collectively the Option Plans. The Option Plans were developed to provide a means whereby directors and selected employees, officers, consultants, and advisors of the Company may be granted incentive or non-qualified stock options to purchase restricted common stock of the Company. On February 25, 2016, to accommodate the appointment of new Board members and additional incentive stock options and stock grants to key employees of the Company, the Board approved the 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (2016 Plan), which allowed for an additional 4 million shares of common stock, stock options, stock rights (restricted stock units), or stock appreciation rights to be granted by the Board in its discretion.
In recognition of and compensation for services rendered by employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued 710,000 common stock options under the Founders Plan on February 25,
21
2016. Of these 710,000 options, all are vested as of September 30, 2016. 40,000 options previously granted in 2015 were cancelled in 2016 due to termination of employment.
In recognition of and compensation for services rendered by the Companys Board Chairman, the Company issued 400,000 common stock options under the 2014 Plan on February 25, 2016, which contained vesting provisions that provided for immediate vesting of 200,000, and 200,000 on August 25, 2016.
In recognition of and compensation for services rendered by employees and members of the Companys Board of Directors, the Company issued 2,200,000 common stock options, 450,000 restricted stock units and 450,000 shares of common stock under the 2016 Plan. On February 25, 2016, the Company issued 1,800,000 common stock options to the Companys Board Chairman, which contains provisions for vesting upon the achievement of specific milestones. As of September 30, 2016, 150,000 had vested upon one milestone achievement, but as of December 31, 2016, by action of the Board of Directors, all 1,800,000 were deemed vested.
The 450,000 restricted stock units were issued on February 25, 2016, and provide for vesting in full on February 21, 2017; however, as of September 30, 2016, all these restricted stock units had been terminated as the relevant employees were no longer with the Company. The 450,000 shares of common stock issued on February 25, 2016 to these same employees were retained by these former employees.
On March 21, 2016, the Company issued 400,000 common stock options to a member of the Board of Directors, which provided for immediate vesting of 200,000 shares and 200,000 shares vested on September 21, 2016.
In June 2016, the Company issued 150,000 common stock options under the 2016 Plan to one new Board of Advisors Member. The options vest one-half in six months and the balance in 12 months, with a 10-year term and exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share. The options were valued at $15,300 (pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model, and as shown in the table detailing the calculation of fair value below), based on an exercise price of $0.30 per share and with a maturity life of 3.5 years.
In August 2016, the Company issued 150,000 common stock options under the 2016 Plan to one new Board of Advisors Member. The options vest one-half in six months and the balance in 12 months, with a 10-year term and exercisable at a price of $0.21 per share. The options were valued at $18,750 (pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model, and as shown in the table detailing the calculation of fair value below), based on an exercise price of $0.21 per share and with a maturity life of 3.5 years.
Options awarded under the Option Plans and the 2016 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were valued at $397,050 (pursuant to the Black Scholes valuation model, and as shown in the table detailing the calculation of fair value below), based on a weighted average exercise price of $0.48 per share and with a maturity life of 3.5 years.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the charge to the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the amortization of stock option grants awarded under the Option Plans and the 2016 Plan was $347,496. The remaining unamortized stock option expense for all outstanding stock options at September 30, 2016 was $104,629. On May 27, 2016, the majority of the employees of the Subsidiary were terminated in an effort to reduce expenses, and were allowed to retain their options, which were immediately vested. The expense related to the outstanding options previously granted to these terminated employees was recognized in full in the second quarter of 2016 as they were no longer subject to a service requirement with respect to vesting of the award.
A summary of the common stock options issued under the Option Plans and the 2016 Plan for the period from December 31, 2015 through September 30, 2016 follows:

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of two securities which the Company believes best match the characteristics of the Company for purposes of measuring volatility in the absence of a market trading history of the Companys common stock. Short Term U.S. Treasury rates were utilized as the risk free interest rate. The expected term of the options was calculated using the alternative simplified method codified as ASC 718 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, which defined the expected life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all issuances.
NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has an employment agreement with Christopher Nelson, CEO (the Executive). As of September 30, 2016, the Companys employment agreement with Sudheer Pimputkar, CTO, was terminated by mutual agreement.
Christopher Nelsons agreement provides for a term of three (3) years from its Effective Date (July 31, 2014), with automatically renewing successive one-year periods starting on the end of the third anniversary of the Effective Date. If the Executive is terminated without cause or pursuant to a change in control of the Company, as both defined in the respective agreements, the Executive shall be entitled to (i) any unpaid Base Salary accrued through the effective date of termination, (ii) the Executives Base Salary at the rate prevailing at such termination through 24 months from the date of termination or the end of his Term then in effect, whichever is longer, and (iii) all of the Executives stock options shall vest immediately.
23
On June 2, 2015, in connection with the Right Offering, the Companys CEO agreed to an amendment to his employment agreement reducing his base salary from $180,000 per year to $138,000, and cancelled $28,000 in debt owed to him by the Company. Also concurrently with the closing of the Rights Offering, our CEO satisfied a promissory note he owed to the Company in the amount of $99,900 created in connection with the 2014 exercise of his warrants, which were issued in 2010 related to his services previously rendered, by returning to the Company 370,000 shares of common stock. The Company forgave $5,250 in accrued interest. All other provisions detailed in the July 31, 2014 employment agreement remain unchanged.
As of April 1, 2017, the Company and Mr. Nelson entered into a new employment agreement (see Note 12, Subsequent Events).
Sudheer Pimputkar had an employment agreement providing $170,000 per year base salary for a term of one (1) year from its Effective Date (April 1, 2015), with automatically renewing successive one year periods starting on the end of the first anniversary of the Effective Date. The Company and Mr. Pimputkar mutually terminated the agreement at September 30, 2016, and agreed to a settlement of all amounts owed to him on March 22, 2017 consisting of $13,985 in cash and $55,938 payable in 372,923 shares of restricted stock.
In June 2015, the Company implemented a compensation package for a director who also serves as SEC counsel of $4,000 per quarter and 250,000 stock options per year vesting quarterly with a 10-year term and exercisable at $0.27 per share (now $0.21 per share). These stock options converted as part of the Merger to 84,000 shares, which were vested in full at the date of the Merger, and are exercisable at $0.30 per share. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the charge to the condensed consolidated statement of operations was $4,000 and $12,000 respectively. The Directors grant of 250,000 options for 2016 vested as of July 1, 2016.
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 31, 2017, the Company closed the initial $1,000,000 in a Convertible Promissory Note Bridge offering (the Bridge Offering). The total size of the Bridge Offering is $1,500,000, with an additional $500,000 over-allotment option at the Companys discretion.
The Convertible Promissory Notes (the Notes) convert at a 50% discount to the post-funding valuation of the Company at the closing of its next offering in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (the Equity Offering). The conversion valuation has a ceiling of $12,000,000, and a floor company value of $6,000,000 in the event there is no Equity Offering before the Notes are able to be converted.
The Notes convert into common stock, or preferred stock if received by investors in the Equity Offering, commencing on the soonest of the Equity Offering closing or December 31, 2017, at the discretion of the holder. Maturity is 36 months from issuance with 15% annual interest which will be capitalized each year into the principal of the Notes and paid in kind. There are no warrants issued in connection with the Offering.
Funds from the Bridge Offering will be used to secure acquisitions of compost and soil companies with closings expected to occur concurrently with the closing of the Equity Offering, and up to 12 months of operating capital. A limited portion of the funds will also be used to eliminate liabilities on the Companys balance sheet. The Bridge Offering was led by two accredited investors, and joined by 19 additional accredited investors which included $75,000 of new cash investment by the Companys Directors, as well as conversion of $156,368 of old notes and advances made by them in 2016 and 2017. Management conducted the Offering and no broker fees were paid in connection with the initial closing.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Companys plans, estimates and beliefs, and actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Current Report.
The Companys operating subsidiary, Q2P, was originally formed in April 2010 in the state of Florida as a limited liability company called Cyclone-WHE LLC. The purpose of the Company at such time was essentially the same as it was through most of 2016: to complete research and development on its waste-to-power technology with the goal of pursuing business opportunities in the renewable power sector on a global basis. Since May 2016, the Company also began to pursue other lines of business, such as the manufacturing of compost and soils from biosolids and other waste streams, and has materially limited its R&D operations. Although no operations in the compost and soils field have commenced, management has made progress towards acquiring certain operational composing facilities in the U.S. The Company re-domiciled to Delaware as a corporation in April 2014, formally split from its former parent in July 2014, and changed its name to Q2Power Corp. in February 2015. It is licensed to do business in Florida and Ohio, where it maintains offices.
On November 12, 2015, Q2P consummated its Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with the Company (then called Anpath Group, Inc.) and the Companys newly formed and wholly-owned subsidiary, AnPath Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Merger Subsidiary), resulting in the Merger Subsidiary merging with and into Q2P. As a result, Q2P was the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AnPath (the Merger). As a result of the Merger, all outstanding shares of Q2P were exchanged for 24,034,475 shares of the Companys common stock, representing approximately 93% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, excluding stock options, warrants and convertible notes outstanding at such time. In addition, the Company assumed both the Q2P 2014 Founders Stock Option Plan and the 2014 Employees Stock Option Plan (the Option Plans), and 1,095,480 options outstanding thereunder. As of the date of the Merger, the officers and directors of Q2P took over the management and Board of Directors of the Company.
In connection with the Merger, the Company sold the former operating entity of Anpath, ESI, to three former officers and shareholders of Anpath in exchange for the return of 470,560 shares of common stock of the Company and ESI retaining all of the old liabilities of ESI including a litigation judgment.
In December 2015, the Company officially changed its name to Q2Power Technologies, Inc. to reflect the new business direction of the Company that of Q2P after the Merger. In February 2016, the Company changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31 to reflect the year-end of its operating Subsidiary, and up-listed its common stock to the OTCQB. The financial statements and footnotes to the financial statements reflect this change of fiscal year end.
In March 2017, the Company completed the initial $1,000,000 trench of a $1,500,000 Convertible Promissory Note Bridge offering (the Bridge Offering). Discussion of the Bridge Offering is provided in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources. Funds from the Bridge Offering are sufficient to provide for operations for the Company for at least 9 months, including advancing its strategy to acquire cash-flowing composting businesses.
A.
Plan of Operation
In the second and third quarters of 2016, the Company announced that it had taken several important steps to expand its business model into the commercial composting and sustainable soils sector. This included starting an alliance with a leading company in this space based in Georgia, and adding a key advisor with over 40 years of experience in this industry to our team. Two of the Companys independent Directors also have significant experience and contacts in waste water, biosolids, waste management and other areas that are synergistic and overlapping with composting.
26
On August 12, 2016, the Company, ERTH Products LLC and Exceptional Products Inc. (the ERTH Companies), entered into a binding letter of intent (the LOI) contemplating the acquisition of the ERTH Companies by the Company. The ERTH Companies, based in Georgia, manufacture agricultural compost and engineered soils for the construction industry from waste water biosolids. Under the LOI, the ERTH Companies agreed to a 90 day exclusivity period to negotiate the terms of this acquisition. The Company also added Wayne King Sr., the founder of the ERTH Companies, to the Companys Board of Advisors. The exclusivity period of this LOI terminated in November 2016; however, the Company and ERTH are still in discussions to pursue this transaction in 2017. During 2017, the Company expects to advance these plans by completing this acquisition, and possibly acquiring other established businesses in this sector. Management believes these plans have a greater likelihood of success since the initial closing of $1,000,000 on March 31, 2017, in its $1,500,000 Convertible Promissory Note Bridge Offering.
The Companys strategy in composting and sustainable soils is supported by a Research & Markets report published May 2016 stating that the global market for these products -- specifically engineered soils, of which composting is a major component -- is projected to reach $7.8 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2016 to 2021. The growth of this market is being driven by soil productivity, water conservation and pollution concerns in the United States and worldwide. According to these and other reports, 99 million acres (28% of all cropland) in the U.S. are eroding above soil tolerance rates, meaning the long-term productivity of the soil cannot be maintained and new soil is not adequately replacing the lost soil. This erosion reduces the ability of the soil to support plant growth and hold water, adding significant pressure on this critical depleting resource. Further, soils produced with compost are being used with more frequency in construction, infrastructure and land reclamation projects to reduce costs, accelerate permitting, and create more sustainable landscapes. Management sees an opportunity in the composting and engineered soils markets to build a strong, cash flowing company, while doing good for the environment.
In connection with these new plans, the Company has also taken steps to reduce its R&D overhead in the second and third quarters of 2016, including scaling back a large portion of its engineering and technical personnel in order to dedicate more resources to pursuing partnerships and acquisitions in the compost industry. Management anticipates that this plan may help get the Company to consistent revenue and profitability quicker, and increase shareholder value over the short and long term.
Management continues to believe that the Companys engine and power system technology is viable as a commercial product, targeted to many of the same customers that the Company plans to work with in the composting business. These include waste water treatment plants that produce methane, and can benefit from the conversion of that otherwise flared fuel to electricity and process heat. The IP that the Company has licensed and developed over the last two years is a valuable asset which we intend on maintaining and protecting moving forward, with the possibility of selling it to the right buyer at the right time. In March 2017, the Company began discussions to sell its technology to one such party, but no agreement has been reached as of the date of filing this Report.
In January 2017, the Company transferred its sales agreement with MagneGas to Phoenix Power Group, a licensee of the Companys technology. Under this agreement, Phoenix assumed all responsibility and liabilities associated with delivering a waste-to-power system to the customer utilizing the Companys technology, and will receive any additional fees paid by the customer for successful performance. Phoenix released the Company of approximately $250,000 in deferred revenue liabilities in connection with this contract assignment, and agreed to certain royalty fees payable to the Company for sales of the engine and system
From October 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, management expects to spend approximately $1.0 million on operations, reduced from $2.0 to $2.5 million with respect to operations to support an R&D project. Our average monthly burn-rate from October 2016 through March 2017 is approximately $50,000 per month, which has been reduced by management from about $150,000 per month in the first half of 2016. However, we estimate that this will increase again in 2017 as we ramp-up partnerships and acquisitions in the compost sector, including the hiring of new operational and sales personnel. Funds to cover operational short-falls over the following 12 months may be raised through the issuance of equity securities and/or debt funding.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Change in Fiscal Year and Financial Statement Presentation.
On February 12, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Company from March 31 to December 31. This change is a result of the Merger, and reflects the fiscal year end period for Q2P, the operating Subsidiary. The Companys financial statements further reflect the operations of Q2P in 2015 up until the date of the Merger, November 12, 2015, and thereafter, the combined operations of Q2P and the public Company.
Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 vs. 2015
During the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded no revenues.
The Company recorded loss from operations of $366,309 in the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $324,453 (47%) from our loss from operations of $690,762 in the same period in 2015. Additionally, the Company realized additional interest expenses in the 2016 period, which were offset by a gain on derivative liability of $47,872, that resulted in net loss of $387,609 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $317,671 (45%) from our net loss of $705,280 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Some of the principal factors behind these results included, lower payroll and R&D expenses in 2016, offset by slightly higher professional fees. The difference between loss from operations and total loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to the gain on derivative liabilities (a non-cash item) and interest expense in the same period of $69,172.
As noted above, included in the expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were the following material items: Payroll decreased to $70,393 in 2016 from $102,516 in the prior year (31%), which was principally due to the reduction of staff and management in 2016. Professional fees increased to $176,771, from $154,494 in the prior year period (14%) due primarily to certain fees paid in common stock to consultants, and research and development decreased to $43,154 in 2016 from $372,533 in the previous year period (88%) primarily due to constriction of funds.
Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 vs. 2015
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $40,000 and $-0- in revenue, respectively.
The Company recorded loss from operations of $1,694,525 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $926,926 (35%) from our loss from operations of $2,621,451 in the same period in 2015. Additionally, the Company realized additional expenses including interest expenses and loss from disposal of assets, which were offset by a gain on derivative liability of $724,415 that resulted in a net loss of $1,183,231 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This represented a decrease of $1,465,777 (55%) from our net loss of $2,649,008 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Some of the principal factors behind these results included higher payroll in 2016 (mostly in the first half of the year), offset by lower professional fees and significantly lower R&D expenses, and further offset by $40,000 in revenue in 2016. The difference between loss from operations and total loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to a $724,415 gain on derivative liabilities (a non-cash item) and interest expense in the same period of $181,425.
As noted above, included in the expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were the following material items: Payroll increased to $512,561 in 2016 from $405,193 in the prior year (26%), which was
28
principally due to the addition of more technical staff and management in the first half of 2016. Professional fees decreased to $692,416, from $946,163 in the prior year period (27%), and research and development decreased to $355,884 in 2016 from $1,056,924 in the previous year period (66%) primarily due to the delivery and expensing of a pilot unit in the first half of 2016 as well as constriction of funds in the third quarter.
Balance Sheet
Material changes in the Companys balance sheet at September 30, 2016 over December 31, 2015 included: an increase of $203,523 in accounts payable and accrued expenses; the addition of a $150,000 term note; $90,000 of notes payable from two board members and four investors, and another $10,500 note from the Companys director, plus accrued interest; a decrease of $771,351 in derivative liabilities as a result of $270,750 worth of convertible debentures converted to common stock and a decrease in valuation from December 31, 2015; a decrease of $70,495 in software, property and equipment related to the transfer of those assets to Precision CNC in settlement of accounts payable; and an increase of $50,000 in deferred revenue from a technology sales contract. Total liabilities as of September 30, 2016 were $1,818,226, as compared to $2,465,292 as of the end of 2015.
Primarily as a result of the $1,210,075 net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, accumulated deficit was $6,548,611 at September 30, 2016, resulting in total stockholders deficit at the period end of $2,195,047.
Results of Operations
Since July 2014, the Company through Q2P has primarily devoted its efforts to commercializing the Q2P engine and CHP system, developing its waste-to-power business model, and recruiting executive management and key employees. As a new entity, the Company has limited current business operations and nominal assets. The Company currently operates at a loss with minimal to no revenue.
Since the change in business direction to focus on strategic partnerships and acquisitions in the compost space, the Company has reduced its operating expenses from approximately $150,000 per month to approximately $50,000 per month by laying-off some employees and restricting our R&D budget. As of the date of this Report, we have one employee on payroll and four more as consultants. Other expenses include legal and accounting, marketing, and other general expenses. We have also used equity, including common stock and stock options, to pay some expenses over the last year; and we reduced approximately $50,000 in payables through the transfer of some furniture, equipment and other assets to an affiliated vendor. Our monthly burn has increased to approximately $100,000 per month as of April 1, 2017, as our plan for growth in the composting sector starts to materialize, and initial acquisitions are in process.
The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, of $1,183,231 was off-set by non-cash operating expenses of: $354,154 in stock issued for services and related amortization expense, $415,746 in stock options and restricted stock units issued to employees, $724,415 in derivative liability gains, $59,839 of depreciation and amortization, and $325,674 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. As a result, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $508,449 in the first nine months of 2016.
With respect to our technology, in January 2017, the Company transferred its sales agreement with MagneGas to Phoenix Power Group, a licensee of the Companys technology. Under this agreement, Phoenix assumed all responsibility and liabilities associated with delivering a waste-to-power system to the customer, and will receive any additional fees paid by the customer for successful performance. Phoenix released the Company of approximately $250,000 in deferred revenue liabilities in connection with this contract assignment, and agreed to certain royalty fees payable to the Company for sales of the engine and system. In March 2017, the Company began discussions to sell its technology to a third party, but no agreement has been reached as of the date of filing this Report.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since July 2014, Q2P has raised approximately $4.2 million in capital over several financings, inclusive of cash invested and some debt and payables converted to stock. With these funds, the Company has been able to complete the prototype stage of its technology, place our first operating pilot unit in the field, recruit a solid engineering and business team, and secure strong Directors with significant industry experience. Many of these investments in people and contacts will assist us in the development of our new business line.
On January 11, 2016, the Company issued 100 shares of Preferred Stock to an accredited investor (the Preferred Stock) for $100,000. The Preferred Stock is convertible at $0.21 per share of the Companys common stock (the Conversion Price) as of September 30, 2016. The Preferred Stock bears a 6% dividend per annum, calculable and payable per quarter in cash or additional shares of common stock as determined in the Certificate of Designation. The Preferred Stock has no voting rights until converted to common stock, and has a liquidation preference equal to the Purchase Price.
On March 15, 2016, the Company entered into a 120-day term loan agreement with one accredited investor in the principal amount of $150,000. The loan bears 20% interest with interest payments due monthly. The holders received loan issuance costs of a 100,000 share equity kicker valued at $26,000, $3,000 cash and a second security interest in the assets of the Company. This loan matured on July 15, 2016, and a 10% late penalty was assessed on July 15, 2016. On March 22, 2017, the Company and the lenders entered into an Addendum to the loan agreement which extended the maturity date to December 31, 2017, allowed for conversion at the discretion of the holders to common stock at a price of $0.15 per share, and waived all defaults in return for payment of $30,000 which included the late fee and accrued but unpaid interest
On April 29, 2016, the Companys three independent Directors loaned to the Company a total of $60,200 pursuant to three Convertible Notes which are automatically convertible into the equity securities issued in the Companys next financing of at least $1,000,000 at the same price and same terms. The Convertible Notes bear 8% interest and have a 10% Original Issuance Discount. The total principal amount of all three Notes was $66,000. The Notes mature in six months, and can be converted to common stock at $0.26 per share if a qualified financing event has not occurred by such time. In June 2016, three other shareholders of the Company provided an additional $30,000 to the Company on the same loan terms.
In July and August 2016, the Company received subscription agreements from six accredited investors (four of whom were previous shareholders) to purchase 750,000 shares of restricted common at a price of $.21 per share for an aggregate of $157,500, less $610 in financing costs.
In September 2016, the Companys three independent Board members advanced the Company $3,000 for payment of insurance premiums.
The Companys limited funds as of September 30, 2016 raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to operate as a going concern. See Note 2 Basis of Presentation and Going Concern in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company currently has sufficient funds to maintain its operation through the end of 2017.
Details of the Companys prior financings follows:
During the year ended December 31, 2014, Q2P raised $353,501 in its initial Seed Round Funding, excluding transaction costs of $51,000, in a convertible debt security, which automatically converted to common stock at a post-Merger equivalent of approximately $0.35 per share on September 30, 2014.
Q2P raised $1,416,367 at a post-Merger stock price equivalent of approximately $0.79 per share in its Series A Funding Round during the year ended December 31, 2014. Direct offering costs related to the Series A Funding Round were $30,000. In January 2015, Q2P closed a continuation round of its Series A Funding, whereby it raised an additional $362,360 at the same price and terms.
30
In May 2015, Q2Ps Board of Directors authorized a Rights Offering whereby each shareholder of Q2P received one Subscription Right for each share of common stock owned as of that date. The Subscription Rights allowed participating shareholders to purchase three shares of common stock in Q2P at a post-Merger stock price equivalent of approximately $0.18. The Rights Offering closed on June 3, 2015, at which time Subscriptions from approximately 90% of the Q2P shareholders totaling $1,061,975 had been received, inclusive of $821,516 in cash, the cancellation of $83,158 and $103,251 of payables and accrued expenses incurred in 2014 for outside and employee services, respectively, and $54,050 of subscriptions receivable. Transaction costs associated with the Rights Offering totaled $10,000.
At the time of the Merger, Q2P had 70,689,632 shares of common stock outstanding, which converted to 24,034,475 shares of the Company pursuant to the Merger. Shares purchased in the Rights Offering accounted for approximately 75% of the shares converted for Company common stock.
Subsequent to the Merger, the Company raised $600,000 in its Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock) from two separate accredited investors in November 2015 and January 2016, respectively. The Preferred Stock was originally convertible at $0.26 per share at the discretion of the holders, and contains price protection provisions in the instance that the Company issues shares at a lower price, subject to certain exemptions. As a result of the July 2016 common stock offering described below, the conversation price for these Preferred Shares automatically reduced to $0.21 per share, and as a result of the Bridge Offering, the conversion price was reset to $0.15 per share. Preferred Stock holders also received other rights and protections including piggy-back registration rights, rights of first refusal to invest in subsequent offerings, security over the Companys assets (secondary to the Companys debt holders), and certain negative covenant guaranties that the Company will not incur non-ordinary debt, enter into variable pricing security sales, redeem or repurchase stock or make distributions, and other similar warranties. The Preferred Stock is redeemable after two years if not converted, and has no voting rights until converted to common stock. The Preferred Stock holders also received 50% warrant coverage at an exercise price of $0.50, with a five-year term and similar price protections as in the Preferred Stock. Pursuant to agreements with the warrant holders, this conversion price remains at $0.50 as of March 31, 2017.
All promissory notes and shares in these offerings were sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Exchange Commission under Regulation D to accredited or sophisticated investors who completed questionnaires confirming their status. Unless otherwise described in this Current Report, reference to restricted common stock means that the shares have not been registered and are restricted from resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Subsequent Event Bridge Financing March 2017
On March 31, 2017, the Company closed the initial $1,000,000 in its Bridge Offering. The total size of the Bridge Offering is $1,500,000, with an additional $500,000 over-allotment option at the Companys discretion, and may be held open for an additional 60 days after the initial closing.
The Convertible Promissory Notes (the Notes) convert at a 50% discount to the post-funding valuation of the Company at the closing of its next offering in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (the Equity Offering). The conversion valuation has a ceiling of $12,000,000, and a floor company value of $6,000,000 in the event there is no Equity Offering before the Notes are able to be converted.
The Notes convert into common stock, or preferred stock if received by investors in the Equity Offering, commencing on the soonest of the Equity Offering closing or December 31, 2017, at the discretion of the holder. Maturity is 36 months from issuance with 15% annual interest which will be capitalized each year into the principal of the Notes and paid in kind. There are no warrants issued in connection with the Offering.
Funds from the Bridge Offering will be used to secure acquisitions of compost and soil companies with closings expected to occur concurrently with the closing of the Equity Offering, and up to 12 months of operating capital. A limited portion of the funds will also be used to eliminate liabilities on the Companys balance sheet.
31
As provided in the Bridge Offering as of the initial closing date, the Company settled or restructured approximately $800,000 in balance sheet liabilities (See Notes to the Consolidate Financial Statement, Note 12- Subsequent Events).
The Offering was led by two accredited investors, and joined by 19 additional accredited investors which included the Companys Directors. Management conducted the Offering and no broker fees were paid in connection with the initial closing. All securities issued in the Offering and debt settlements were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.
Separation from Cyclone and Related License Agreement
On July 28, 2014, Q2P (which at such time was called WHE Generation Corp., and renamed Q2Power Corp. on January 26, 2015) commenced operations as an independent company after receiving its initial round of seed funding and signing a formal separation agreement (the Separation Agreement) from Cyclone. The Separation Agreement between Q2P and Cyclone provided for a formal division of certain assets, liabilities and contracts related to Q2Ps business, as well as establishing procedures for exchange of information, indemnification of liability, and releases and waivers for the principals moving forward. As part of the separation from Cyclone, Q2P also purchased for $175,000 certain licensing rights to use Cyclones patented technology on a worldwide, exclusive basis for 20 years with two 10-year renewal terms for Q2Ps waste heat and waste-to-power business (the License Agreement). The License Agreement contains a royalty provision equal to 5% of gross sales payable to Cyclone on sales of engines derived from technology licensed from Cyclone.
Also, as part of the separation from Cyclone, Q2P assumed a license agreement between Cyclone and Phoenix Power Group, which included deferred revenue of $250,000 from payments previously made to Cyclone for undelivered products. The net balances as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 for the Cyclone licensing rights were $80,208 and $113,021, respectively; and the net balances as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 for the Phoenix deferred revenue were $250,000 and $250,000, respectively, which are included as a component of deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and which were eliminated with the transfer of the Magnegas contract to Phoenix in January 2017.
The Company also assumed a contract with Clean Carbon of Australia and a corresponding $10,064 prepayment for services or other value to be provided in the future. This deposit has been presented as deferred revenue on the September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management concluded that, as of September 30, 2016, the Companys disclosure controls and procedure were not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the COSO, version 2013.
Managements Quarterly Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Companys financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
· | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Companys assets; |
|
|
· | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and |
|
|
· | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
33
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Companys management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. As a result of this assessment, management identified certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Some of the material weaknesses identified are disclosed below:
·
| Management has a lack of knowledge and experience with accounting for derivative liabilities, reverse mergers and redeemable preferred stock. |
·
| Management is understaffed to perform the necessary accounting, including preparation of the required financial disclosures, in a timely manner. |
·
| Management has not yet formed an audit committee. |
As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2016, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.
The Company is in the process of addressing and correcting these material weaknesses. Management will be diligent in its efforts to continue to improve the reporting processes of the Company, including the continued development of proper accounting policies and procedures.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding and, to the knowledge of our management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against us. No director, executive officer, affiliate of ours, or owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of our common stock is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to us in any proceeding.
When the Company sold the ESI subsidiary to three former shareholders following the Merger, that company had a judgment against it from a litigation brought in the Superior Court of the County of Iredell, North Carolina, seeking payment of wages of approximately $25,000, together with vacation pay, the value of health insurance benefits and medical expenses. On April 10, 2015, the Court entered judgment against ESI in favor of the plaintiff. Claims made by the plaintiff against AnPath (the Company at that time) and certain of the officers and directors of Anpath at that time were dismissed by the Court. The Company does not believe it has any liability in this matter, and that the judgment was properly retained by ESI in the sale; however, the judgment is still outstanding and management cannot guaranty that it will not be brought back into the litigation or collection efforts in the future.
