NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2013
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Harmonic Energy, Inc. (the Company), formerly known as Aviation Surveillance Systems, Inc. and Fairytale Ventures, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 1, 2007. The Company is currently developing a new business focused on the disposition and recycling of scrap tires through tire re-manufacturing and carbonization of scrap tire components. The Company has not realized significant revenues to date and therefore is classified as a development stage company.
Development Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC as of and for the period ended July 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the financial statements to be not misleading for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company has adopted a July 31 fiscal year end.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accrued expenses, and a license fees payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic (Loss) per Common Share
Basic (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are 666,667 common stock warrants outstanding as of January 31, 2013.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company has not incurred any advertising expense as of January 31, 2013 and 2012.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. As of January 31, 2013, the Company has not issued any stock-based payments to its employees.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Harmonic Energy does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Company Overview
We are a Nevada corporation, formed May 1, 2007. We are currently developing a new business which will provide a comprehensive solution for the disposition and recycling of scrap tires through tire re-manufacturing and carbonization of scrap tire components. Tire re-manufacturing is a process that takes high quality used tires, removes the old tread and sidewall markings, and then applies new rubber to the tread and sidewall. The used casing along with the new rubber is vulcanized under high pressure and heat to produce a new tire. This is the same process used by new tire manufacturers except that they make the casing (the most costly part of the tire). Carbonization is a technology that heats tires in an oxygen free environment and turns spent tire casings into diesel fuel, carbon black, steel, and syn-gas.
On March 14, 2012, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kouei International, Inc. (“Kouei International”). Under the Agreement, we have acquired the exclusive rights in North America and Europe to use the Tyrolysis™ technology owned by Kouei Industries Co., Ltd. of Japan (“Kouei Industries”). Kouei International holds these rights under license from Kouei Industries and, pursuant to the Agreement, has assigned them to us. The Tyrolysis™ technology is a comprehensive ‘closed-loop’ solution for the management of scrap tires, which allows for all scrap tires to be either re-manufactured into new tires or reduced, through a carbonization process, into marketable chemical products such as diesel fuel, and steel. The carbon char material will be upgraded to produce a general purpose carbon black that can be used again in the rubber, plastic and asphalt industries. Syn-gas is used for process heat within the system.
Under the Agreement, as currently extended, we have agreed to pay Kouei International a total purchase price of $525,000 as follows:
- $175,000 – due within ninety (90) days of closing (which has been paid)
- $175,000 – due on or before June 30, 2013
- $175,000 – due on or before September 30, 2013
In addition, the Agreement calls for Kouei International to be paid ongoing royalties for the next five (5) years as follows:
- 3% of gross sales
- $2.50 per remanufactured passenger tire

The Agreement provides us with full access to Kouei International’s properties, books, records, information, technical drawings, contacts and equipment supplied by Kouei Industries. In addition, Kouei International will be contracted for a two year period to help with the transaction and successful implementation of the technology transfer. During this term, Kouei International may be required to provide its engineering expertise and/or participate in industry technology presentations.
Management is currently evaluating facilities locations in Europe and North America. We plan for our facilities to receive scrap tires and produce both re-manufactured tires and commodity chemicals produced through the Tyrolysis™ carbonization technology. We hope to have 6 to 10 plants operational in Europe and North America within the next 5 years.
Our planned facilities will need to be located near suitable sources of scrap tires and other scrap rubber materials. In preparation for a potential recycling plant to be located in Michigan, we entered into a Tire Feedstock Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Enertech R.D., LLC (“Enertech”) on April 11, 2012. Under the Agreement, we have agreed to purchase all of Enertech’s output of scrap tires and other low-value rubber-based materials (referred to as “Feedstock”) for a term of ten (10) years. We intend to use the Feedstock to supply a planned tire recycling facility. Enertech’s estimated daily output of Feedstock is approximately 200 tons per day, though actual output will fluctuate in response to Enertech’s flow of business operations. The maximum daily output that we are required to accept under the Agreement is 300 tons. If Enertech’s output diminishes to less than 100 tons on each of five successive days, we may rescind the Agreement on 20 days written notice.
The Agreement requires us to pay Enertech a fee of $30 per ton for chipped, two-inch-minus scrap tires which are 90% to 95% steel free. The price per ton will be adjusted annually in accordance with future negotiations between the parties. The Feedstock will be delivered to us at a distance of up to 2 miles from Enertech’s facility in Michigan. We will be required to pay for delivery costs for distances beyond two miles.
The Agreement is conditional upon:
- Our building and operating a tire recycling facility, located within 2 miles of Enertech’s facility in Michigan, that is capable of processing Enertech’s total Feedstock output, and
- Our registering with the Michigan Environmental
Protection Agency and complying with all permit and license requirements for the tire recycling facility which will accept Enertech’s
output of Feedstock.
On February 19, 2013, we entered into a Purchase Order (the “Agreement”) with Carbon Black Sales (“CBS”). Under the Agreement, we have agreed to sell to CBS, and CBS has agreed to purchase from us, a minimum of 30,000 tons per year of refined carbon black made from tires during the term of the agreement. The Agreement is conditioned upon our having a tire recycling facility in commercial operation within the next three (3) years. The term of the Agreement is ten years from the date of our initial delivery of product to CBS. The carbon black to be supplied by us under the agreement must meet certain quality standards. The price per-ton for all carbon black sold to CBS under the Agreement will be 60% below the prices established by the Sid Richardson Carbon Ltd. price list for N660 carbon black. The site and specific facility from which the carbon black will be supplied to CBS will be confirmed in the future and prior to our first delivery of product. The Agreement calls for us to supply carbon black from the designated facility exclusively to CBS. CBS has agreed to purchase its carbon black exclusively from our designated facility and may not purchase from another supplier except upon our written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. CBS may terminate the Agreement if, for any period of forty-five (45) days after our initial delivery of product, we are unable to produce any additional product. We may terminate the Agreement if CBS is unable to take delivery of product for a period of ten (10) consecutive days.
Management estimates that approximately $50 million in new equity will be required in order to procure the necessary equipment, facilities, and supplies for our planned business and to commence our planned tire recycling operations. We currently do not have any firm arrangements for equity or debt financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required, in the amount necessary to commence our planned operations, or on terms which are feasible in the opinion of management.

Results of operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, and for the period from May 1, 2007 (date of inception) through January 31, 2013.
We have not earned significant revenues since the inception of our business and we earned no revenues during the three and six months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. We are presently in the development stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will produce significant revenues or, if revenues are earned, that we will be profitable.
We have incurred net losses in the amount of $459,917 from our inception on May 1, 2007 through the period ending January 31, 2013. During the three months ended January 31, 2013, we incurred expenses and a net loss of $51,182, compared to expenses and a net loss of $2,400 for the three months ended January 31, 2012. During the six months ended January 31, 2013, we incurred expenses and a net loss of $70,994, compared to expenses and a net loss of $4,100 for the six months ended January 31, 2012. Our losses are attributable to our operating expenses combined with a lack of significant revenues during our current stage of development. Our expenses have increased in the three and six months ended January 31, 2013 primarily as a result of increased consulting and professional fees incurred as we prepare to launch our new tire recycling business.
Prior to the generation of revenues, we expect that our expenses will continue to increase significantly as we progress with the development of our new business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2013, we had current assets of $47,948, consisting of cash in the amount of $26,917, prepaid expenses in the amount of $16,447, and deferred financing costs of $4,584. As of January 31, 2013, we had current liabilities of $262,930, consisting of license fees payable of $175,000, a note payable of $50,000, accrued expenses of $37,680, and accrued interest of $250. Thus, we had a working capital deficit of $214,982 as of January 31, 2013. The largest component of our current liabilities is a $175,000 license fee payable under our License Purchase Agreement with Kouei International. This represents the second of the three installment payments called for under the agreement.
On January 9, 2013, we received financing in the amount of $50,000 under Note issued to Legacy Global Markets. The Note bears interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per year, with all principal and interest coming due on January 9, 2014.
On May 15, 2012, we raised a total of $500,000 in a private offering of common stock and warrants. Our efforts to secure equity financing for our planned operations is ongoing. We will need additional funding in order to complete our payments under the License Purchase Agreement with Kouei International. We have not established profitable operations and will be dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue a long-term business plan. As discussed above, we will also require substantial new equity financing in the approximate amount of $50 million to successfully pursue the full scope of our planned tire recycling operations. We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of January 31, 2013, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
We have negative working capital, have incurred losses since inception, and not yet established a source of revenues. These factors create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on generating cash from the sale of our common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling our equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund our capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance we will be successful in these efforts.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of January 31, 2013. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Jamie Mann. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of January 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2013.
Management determined that the material weaknesses that resulted in controls being ineffective are primarily due to lack of resources and number of employees. Material weaknesses exist in the segregation of duties required for effective controls and various reconciliation and control procedures not regularly performed due to the lack of staff and resources.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
