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.

Q2POWER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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), and prior to that, Telecomm Sales Network, Inc.
The Company, through its subsidiary, Q2Power Corp. (the Subsidiary or Q2P), operates a renewable power company focused on the conversion of waste to energy and other valuable reuse products. Q2P plans to utilize proprietary technology and business models demonstrated in the solar and wind power industries to monetize waste energy resources such as methane, waste fuel and other organic waste. The operations of the Company are essentially those of the Subsidiary.
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, which represented an exchange ratio of 0.34 shares of the Company for every one share of Q2P (the Exchange Ratio). 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 Q2Power Technologies, Inc. (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 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 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 $1,206,788 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The accumulated deficit since inception is $6,572,168, 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 March 31, 2016 of $3,057,725. 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 plans which include implementation of its business model to generate revenue from power purchase agreements, product sales, and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity offerings. The Company
9
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.
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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, cash held in banks totaled $28,460 and $1,012, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue 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 quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized revenue of $40,000 related to the first achieved milestone and delivery under a technology sales agreement, and 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 March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $186,938 and $322,455, respectively.
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
10
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 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 March 31, 2016, the Company does not
11
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 the 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. As of March 31, 2016, total dilutive shares amounted to approximately 86,726 shares, consisting of potentially dilutive shares related to convertible debentures. There were no potentially dilutive shares as of March 31, 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 financial statements.
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 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 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.
12
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 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 April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which amends certain aspects of the guidance set forth in the FASBs new revenue standard related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of these updates on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12: Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606), Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which amends certain aspects of the guidance set forth in the FASBs Topic 606. 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 financial statements.
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.
The Company maintains cash accounts in two quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts through March 31, 2016.
The Company purchases much of its machined parts through Precision CNC, a related party company that sub-leases office space to Q2P and owns a non-controlling interest in the Company. Further, one of the principals of
13
Precision CNC is a Vice President of Q2P. Should Precision CNC no longer be able to provide such manufacturing services to the Company, it may prove difficult to find a suitable replacement in a timely and affordable manner, thus, the loss of this supplier could have a materially adverse impact on the Companys operations and financial position. For the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the amounts paid to Precision CNC totaled $34,427 and $33,109, respectively, and consisted of rent and research and development expenses for machined parts.

NOTE 5 CYCLONE SEPARATION, LICENSE RIGHTS AND DEFERRED REVENUE
In 2014, Q2P purchased for $175,000 certain licensing rights to use Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc.s (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. Also, as part of a separation agreement with 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 for the Cyclone licensing rights were $102,083 and $113,021, respectively, and the net balances as of March 31, 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. Under the terms of the revised agreement with Phoenix Power Group, revenue associated with these deferrals will be recognized subject to the achievement of certain milestones, as follows: (1) on the completion of certain performance testing of the engine, deferred revenue of $150,000 will be recognized; and (2) on the delivery of the first 10 Generation 1 Engines, other deferred revenue will be recognized at a rate of $10,000 per delivered engine.
In connection with the separation agreement with Cyclone, 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The licensing rights are amortized over its estimated useful life of 4 years. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $10,938 and $10,938 respectively.

NOTE 7 NOTES PAYABLE AND DEBENTURES
On July 2, 2014, the Company closed a financing by which one accredited investor purchased two Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible 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 to modify the terms of the debentures to extend the maturity date of the debentures 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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, aggregate principal of $71,500 was converted to 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 second security interest in the assets of the Company to the holders. Issuance costs expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $3,605 with a balance of $25,395 to be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan. The loan balance net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $124,605 and accrued interest related to the loan was $1,250 at March 31, 2016.

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 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 consolidated statement of operations.
The following table sets forth the Companys consolidated financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 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.

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. 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 1, 2016 for 150,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the conversion of these debentures, the Company reclassified $125,975 of derivative liabilities to additional paid in capital during the three months ended March 31, 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 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 March 31, 2016: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 59.84 139.48%, risk free rates of 0.21 - 1.58% and an expected term of 0.3 years to 5.0 years.
During the three months ended March 31, 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 an additional $117,456 of increase in the fair value of derivative liabilities during the quarter ended March 31, 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 a total of $552,834 and $131,530 for the change in fair value of all the Leval 3 derivatives during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively.
NOTE 9 COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS
Common Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 1,078,395 shares of restricted common stock valued at $264,359. Details of these issuances are provided below.
On January 1, 2016, the Company issued 187,919 shares of restricted common stock valued at $49,859 as consideration for the payment of accounts payable to vendors.
On February 2, 2016, the two debenture holders converted a total of $40,000 of their debentures for 190,476 shares of common stock.
On February 25, 2016, the Company issued 450,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $117,000 to three key employees, including its CTO (see Note 10).
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 an investor valued at $26,000 for services rendered related to the loan detailed in Note 7.
Convertible Redeemable 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 Preferred Stock is convertible at $0.26 per share of the Companys common stock (the Conversion Price). 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) 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
18
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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $230,203 and $184,764, respectively. Interest expense related to the preferred stock discount for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $33,600.
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.

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 three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 710,000 common stock options under the Founders Plan on February 25, 2016, 350,000 of which contained vesting provisions that provide for vesting in full on August 25, 2016, 150,000 of which contain provisions for immediate vesting of 50,000 and 100,000 and fully vest on August 25, 2016, and 210,000 of which contain semi-annual vesting provisions over the next year. One option grant of 40,000 shares to an employee was cancelled due to termination of employment.
In recognition of and compensation for services rendered by the Companys Board Chairman for the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 400,000 common stock options under the 2014 Plan on
19
February 25, 2016, which contained vesting provisions that provide for immediate vesting of 200,000, and 200,000 on August 25, 2016. One option grant of 40,000 shares was cancelled due to termination of employment.
In recognition of and compensation for services rendered by employees and members of the Companys board of directors for the three months ended March 31, 2016, 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 contain provisions for vesting upon the achievement of specific milestones. As of March 31, 2016, 150,000 had vested upon one milestone achievement. The 450,000 restricted stock units were issued on February 25, 2016 and provide for vesting in full on February 21, 2017, and the 450,000 shares of common stock were issued on February 25, 2015 and provide for immediate vesting. On March 21, 2016, the Company issued 400,000 common stock options to a member of the board of directors, which provides for immediate vesting of 200,000 shares and 200,000 shares vest on September 21, 2016.
Options awarded under the Option Plans and the 2016 Plan were valued at $331,800 (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 $0.50 per share and with a maturity life of 3.5 years.
For the three months ended March 31, the charge to the consolidated statement of operations for the amortization of stock option grants awarded under the Option Plans and the 2016 Plan was $35,471. The charge to the consolidated statement of operations for the expense associated with restricted stock units awarded under the 2016 Plan was $9,750.

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 employment agreements with Christopher Nelson, CEO and Sudheer Pimputkar, CTO (collectively, the Executives).
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.
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.
Sudheer Pimputkar has 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. 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 2 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.
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 (see Note 10). For the periods ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the charge to the consolidated statement of operations was $4,000 and $8,000 respectively.
21
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 8, 2016, the Company and Cyclone resolved their dispute regarding the repurchase of 212,500 post Merger shares of the Companys common stock for $150,000 pursuant to their 2014 Stock Purchase Agreement. Under the settlement the parties agreed to terminate that Stock Purchase Agreement and all amounts owed by either party to the other were also terminated, including a release of all claims. The Company paid a consultant 100,000 shares of restricted common stock in connection with the negotiation and signing of that agreement.
On April 29, 2016, the Companys three independent Directors loaned to the Company a total of $60,000 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, which meant that 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.

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 by Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Cyclone) 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 is today: to pursue waste-to-power and waste heat recovery business opportunities on a global basis. The Company re-domiciled to Delaware as a corporation in April 2014, formally split from Cyclone in July 2014 pursuant to a Separation Agreement, 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. Also pursuant to 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.
A.
Plan of Operation
During the next 12 months we expect to spend approximately $2.0 to $2.5 million on operations, a material portion of which will go towards the development of our technology, deployment of additional pilot units, sales efforts, executive / administrative salaries, and general costs of being a public company. We may also pursue partnerships with or acquisitions of other synergistic revenue-producing business lines. We anticipate launching our commercialized Q2P Engine and CHP System and commencing sales of these products in 2016. This plan has already begun to generate revenue for the Company, as we signed our first sales agreement for a 10kW CHP System running on waste liquid fuels in January 2016, and expect additional orders like this in the coming quarters. Revenue from these sales will help off-set our operational burn rate, in particular our R&D expenses (including salaries of technical personnel), some of which will become costs of goods sold and inventory as we enter into our commercial phase.
In the next 12 months we will need to raise additional funds to keep us operating at full capacity and on schedule with these plans. Our average monthly burn-rate is currently $150,000 per month, which has been reduced
23
by management from about $200,000 per month in the first half of 2015. However, we estimate that this will increase again to approximately $200,000 per month later in 2016 as we ramp-up development and sales efforts, including the hiring of new personnel.
It is our goal to have our sales revenue support our engineering and technical operational expenses by the end of 2016, reducing our monthly burn rate to primarily executive / administrative expenses, legal and accounting, and other costs of being a public company. Management believes the Company will start generating higher revenues through the sale of its Q2P Engine and CHP Systems within the next six months, and may start generating revenue from other business lines such as bio-solid co-products by the end of the year. Funds to cover operational short-falls over the following 12 months, estimated to be between $2.0 and $2.5 million, may be raised through the issuance of equity securities and/or debt funding. Management is actively pursuing such financing, however, there can be no assurance that financing will be available when required in sufficient amounts, on acceptable terms or at all.
B.
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
During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company generated $40,000 of sales related to Q2P providing engineering services to one customer. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded no revenues. Cost of sales during these periods were $7,172 and $0, respectively.
The Company recorded loss from operations of $613,134 in the quarter ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of 262,712 (30%) from our loss from operations of $875,846 in the same period in 2015. Despite the lower operating loss, total expenses exclusive of gross profit were $1,239,617 in the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $363,221 (41%) from our total expenses of $876,396 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Some of the principal factors behind these results included, higher payroll in 2016, offset by lower professional fees and R&D expenses, and further offset by $40,000 in revenue in 2016. The difference between loss from operations and total loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, was primarily due to a $552,834 loss on derivative liabilities (a non-cash item) and interest expense in the same period of $40,820.
As noted above, included in the expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were the following material items: Payroll increased to $215,987 in 2016 from $107,559 in the prior year (101%), which was principally due to the addition of more technical staff and management in 2016. Professional fees decreased to $170,239, from $362,791 in the prior year period (53%) due primarily to the hiring of contract professionals, and research and development decreased to $186,938 in 2016 from $322,455 in the previous year period (42%) primarily due to constriction of funds.
In total, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,206,788 in the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to $876,396 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $330,392. The change in net loss was primarily due to the derivative liabilities loss of $552,834, off-set by lower operating expenses and increased revenue. The derivative liabilities are further explained below.
Balance Sheet
Material changes in the Companys balance sheet at March 31, 2016 over December 31, 2015 included: an increase of $11,636 in accounts payable and accrued expenses; the addition of a $150,000 term note (offset by $29,000 of debt issuance costs) and another $10,500 note from the Companys director; an increase of $505,898 in
24
derivative liabilities as a result of $100,000 of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock being purchased in the quarter off-set by $71,500 worth of convertible debentures converted to common stock and an increase in valuation from December 31, 2015; and an increase of $50,000 in deferred revenue from a technology sales contract. The Company corrected the prior period loss on derivatives -- a correction which management deemed immaterial. This resulted in total liabilities of $3,093,529 as of March 31, 2016, as compared to $2,465,292 as of the end of 2015.
Primarily as a result of the $1,206,788 net loss for the quarter, accumulated deficit was $6,572,168 at March 31, 2016, resulting in total stockholders deficit at the period end of $3,250,793.
Cash Flow
Net loss in the first quarter of 2016 of $1,206,788 was off-set by non-cash operating expenses of: $196,691 in stock issued for services and related amortization expense, $45,221 in stock options and restricted stock units issued to employees, $552,834 in derivative liability losses, $24,204 of depreciation and amortization, and $61,495 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. As a result, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $230,754 in the first quarter of 2016.
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 $0.26 per share of the Companys common stock (the Conversion Price). 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.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since July 2014, the Company through Q2P has primarily devoted its efforts to commercializing the Q2P Engine and CHP System, developing its 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 revenue and approximately $150,000 a month in operating expenses, which is comprised of salaries and fees to officers, directors and employees, our R&D budget, legal and accounting expenses, some marketing and other general expenses. We have also used equity, including common stock and stock options, to pay some expenses over the last year. Since 2015 we have reduced our monthly burn from about $200,000 per month by terminating or renegotiating some consulting fees and employment contracts, and making other cuts in our operational budget. This monthly burn is expected to increase materially, however, over the following months as we add costs of being a public company and fund our growth. The Companys burn rate and limited funds 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.
Since July 2014, Q2P has raised approximately $4 million in capital over five separate 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, secure strong Directors with significant industry experience, and generate our first commercial product sale. We will attempt to raise additional funding in 2016 to advance the Companys technology through full commercialization and manufacturing, though there can be no assurances as to whether such funds can be raised and if they can, at what terms. Details of these 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.
25
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.
On May 14, 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 shares of common stock in Q2P at a post-Merger stock price equivalent of approximately $0.18 per share. 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 an additional $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 is 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. 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 $.50, with a five-year term and similar price protections as in the Preferred Stock.
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 a 100,000 share equity kicker valued at $26,000, $3,000 cash and a second security interest in the assets of the Company. The loan balance was $150,000, and accrued interest related to the loan totaled $1,250 at March 31, 2016.
On April 29, 2016, the Companys three independent Directors loaned to the Company a total of $60,000 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, which meant that 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.
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.
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
26
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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 for the Cyclone licensing rights were $102,083 and $113,021, respectively; and the net balances as of March 31, 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. Under the terms of the revised agreement with Phoenix Power Group, revenue associated with these deferrals will be recognized subject to the achievement of certain milestones, as follows: (1) on the completion of certain performance testing of the engine, deferred revenue of $150,000 will be recognized; and (2) on the delivery of the first 10 Generation 1 Engines, other deferred revenue will be recognized at a rate of $10,000 per delivered engine.
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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The licensing rights are amortized over its estimated useful life of 4 years. Accumulated amortization for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $54,687 and $43,750, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Agreement
On September 25, 2014, Q2P entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement with Cyclone (the Stock Repurchase Agreement) whereby Q2P agreed to purchase 708,333 shares of common stock of the Company (based on post-Merger share numbers) for total consideration of $500,000. Of the purchase price, $350,000 was paid on September 30, 2014, at which time Q2P retired 495,833 shares previously held by Cyclone. The $150,000 balance of the purchase price was recorded as Related Party Obligation Cyclone. The 212,500 shares associated with the $150,000 portion of the purchase price were reissued to Cyclone on July 21, 2015, based on claims made by Q2P that Cyclone had not fulfilled material terms in the Stock Repurchase Agreement, as well as other claims, and as a result the balance of $150,000 would not be owed. Cyclone disputed these claims. Q2P also recorded $567,637 against additional paid in capital related to the shares of common stock of Cyclone held as an investment by Q2P that were returned to Cyclone, payables of Cyclone paid by Q2P on behalf of Cyclone and write-off of the intercompany receivable from Cyclone. This was offset by the deferred revenue from Phoenix Power and Clean Carbon of Australia that was transferred to Q2P in the Separation Agreement. The share amounts above reflect shares in Q2P before the Merger, not the Companys shares.
In April 2016, the Company and Cyclone resolved their dispute regarding the Stock Purchase Agreement, whereby the parties agreed to terminate that agreement and all amounts owed by either party to the other, including a release of all claims, and Cyclone retained its 212,500 shares. The Company paid a consultant 100,000 shares of restricted common stock in connection with the negotiation and signing of that agreement.

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.
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. |
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 March 31, 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:
28
·
| 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 March 31, 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
None.

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.

We issued all of these securities to persons who were accredited investors as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the SEC, or to sophisticated investors or key employees; and each such person had prior access to all material information about us prior to the offer and sale of these securities, and had the right to consult legal and accounting professionals. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Sections 4(a)(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the SEC.
