NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN:
NuState Energy Holdings, Inc., or the Company, is a Nevada corporation, incorporated in October 1987. It was formerly known as Jaguar Investments, Inc. between October 1987 and May 2003, Power2Ship, Inc., between May 2003 and November 2006, and Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc. between November 2006 and December 2007.
The Company had two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Commodity Express Transportation, Inc., or CXT, and Power2Ship Intermodal, Inc., or P2SI, which ceased operations in May 2009 and June 2006, respectively. CXT had a wholly-owned subsidiary, Commodity Express Brokerage, Inc.
In August 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, CXT and P2SI, have filed a voluntary petition of liquidation under the Chapter 7 of the US Bankruptcy Code. The two subsidiaries became subject to the control of the court in which the petition was filed. The Company ceased to have a controlling financial interest of the subsidiaries upon filing, and accordingly, has deconsolidated the subsidiaries during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013. The subsidiaries had no assets and $1,494,406 in liabilities as of the date of the filing. The deconsolidation of the subsidiaries resulted in other income of $1,494,406 during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, which consists of the extinguishment of debt of the subsidiaries.
CXT was a provider of truck transportation and third-party logistics services. P2SI was a provider of intermodal drayage transportation services.
During April 2008, the Company sold certain intellectual property and software to Rentar Logic, Inc., or Rentar, in consideration for $3,000,000 and a 49% interest in Rentar. In April 2010, Rentar issued 384,366 shares of its common stock to satisfy its obligation of approximately $1.9 million with the Company. Contemporaneously, during April 2010, the Company relinquished its interest in Rentar to satisfy its obligations under three notes payable with a carrying value of $1.9 million.
The balance sheet presented as of June 30, 2012 has been derived from our audited financial statements. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes for the year ended June 30, 2012 included in our accompanying Registration Statement on Form 10. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending June 30, 2013.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has used net cash in its operating activities of approximately $122,000 during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $4.5 million at March 31, 2013. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future, once a merger with an operating company is consummated. Management plans may continue to provide for its capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt and the Company will continue to find possible acquisition target. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions about recovery of assets from discontinued operations and assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.
4
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents accounts are held at financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company has not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit.
The Company's other receivable was the result of a judgment in favor of the Company. The net proceeds from such judgment were received during fiscal 2012.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1:
|
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
Level 2:
|
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
|
The Company’s derivative liability at June 30, 2012 is classified as Level 3 financial instrument.
Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, other receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued compensation, note and convertible promissory notes payable, and liabilities from discontinued operations approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these items.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or ASC 815.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity, provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control, such contract could require net cash settlement and shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
5
The Company needs to determine whether the instruments issued in the transactions are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company issued certain promissory notes during fiscal 2012 which were convertible at variable rates. Such instruments were deemed to include embedded conversion features until June 23, 2012, at which time, the Company and the note holders agreed to set a floor on the conversion rate. Accordingly, the Company’s outstanding instruments are convertible at fixed rates at March 31, 2013. Additionally, certain convertible promissory notes aggregating $145,000 included subsequent financing reset provisions which were recorded as embedded conversion features at each measurement date through June 23, 2012, the date at which such notes became convertible at a fixed rate.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. 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. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.
Share-Based Payment
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.
The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates in one segment, which is to search for possible acquisition targets and merge with an operating company. The Company's chief operating decision-maker evaluates the performance of the Company based upon expenses by functional areas as disclosed in the Company's statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements have been issued but deemed by management to be outside the scope of relevance to the Company.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and dilutive Common Stock share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive Common Stock share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per-share results are not presented in the financial statements as their affect would be anti-dilutive.

The plan terminated in January 2011.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and our Registration Statement on Form 10 for the year ended June 30, 2012. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements. See ‘‘Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information’’ elsewhere in this report. Because this discussion involves risk and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
The company was incorporated in Nevada as Jaguar Investments, Inc. during October 1987. During March 2003, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company merged with Freight Rate, Inc., a development stage company in the logistics software business. During May 2003, the Company changed its name to Power2Ship, Inc. During October 2006, the Company merged with a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with the Company surviving but its name changed to Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc. effective November 2006. During December 2007, the Company merged with a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, NuState Energy Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with the Company surviving but renamed NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. effective December 2007.
The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Commodity Express Transportation, Inc. or CXT, a former provider of truck transportation and third-party logistics services, and Power2Ship Intermodal, Inc. or P2SI, a former provider of intermodal drayage transportation services, which ceased operations in May 2009 and June 2006, respectively. CXT has a wholly owned subsidiary, Commodity Express Brokerage, Inc.
On February 12, 2009, the Company filed Form 15 to terminate registration of its common stock under section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and subsequently has not submitted any filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the period from February 2009 through April 2010, the Company had several changes to its officers and directors and moved its offices twice. Presently, the Company’s Chairman and President, since April 2010, and its Chief Executive Officer, since July 2010, is Kevin Yates. The Company’s headquarters is located at 1201 Main Street, Suite 1980, Columbia, S.C. 29201. Since April 2010, the Company’s current management developed, and began implementing, the following strategic plan designed to increase the Company’s shareholders’ value:
1. |
Improve the Company’s balance sheet by reducing liabilities and regaining use of certain of its intellectual property and software,
|
|
2. |
Settle litigation,
|
|
3. |
Identify potential merger or acquisition candidates with whom the Company could enter into a transaction upon the Company achieving items 1 and 2 above, and
|
|
4. |
License its intellectual property and software, also known as My Driver’s Seat, which it regained in April 2010.
|
This strategic plan has resulted in the following material events:
Reduced Liabilities
Since filing its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2008, total liabilities have decreased by $5,096,309 or 53% from $9,687,950 on September 30, 2008 to $4,591,641 on December 31, 2012.
In August 2012, its subsidiaries CXT and P2SI each filed a Voluntary Bankruptcy Petition and Schedules in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the District of South Carolina. On October 19, 2012 the Company was awarded the bankruptcy and will be filing the proper paperwork and as result will reduce its liabilities by $1,494,406.
Regained Use of Intellectual Property
As part of an agreement entered into with Rentar Environmental Solutions, Inc. (“Rentar”) in April 2010, the Company agreed to share with Rentar all right, title and interest in and to intellectual properties and software, My Driver’s Seat, which it had developed for the worldwide transportation and security industries and had sold in April 2008 to Rentar Logic, a Delaware corporation incorporate Rentar. The Company’s intellectual property also includes two patents titled “Dynamic and Predictive Information System and Method for Shipping Assets and Transport” assigned to it by the inventors, former officers of the Company. The Company’s management believes that this intellectual property may, with some further development, become a viable business opportunity.
Licensing Use of Intellectual Property
We are currently discussing the potential licensing of our software, My Driver’s Seat, with certain third-parties.
Employees
At May 17, 2013, we had 1 full time employee.
14
Our principal offices are located at 1201 Main Street, Suite 1980, Newport Beach, CA 92663. Our telephone number there is: (803) 748-1309.
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “NSEH”.
Business Environment
NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. is committed to offering alternative products and solutions to the traditional and alternative energy markets. We have been working diligently in the traditional and alternative energy space to evaluate our opportunities for partnerships, joint ventures and future acquisitions. This includes green technology solutions in logistics.
We believe that there are opportunities to leverage and monetize our software technology by licensing it to companies that provide green technology solutions to the medium and large logistics companies. Our software technology provides validation and verification of the fuel cost consumption reporting and fuel tax credits to the logistics companies. The software is also designed to document the exact amount of reduction of harmful emissions. This data will enable users in certain countries to generate emissions credits that are tradable under the protocol of the Kyoto Treaty.
Through our existing relationships with GLINS and the country Suriname, NuState is evaluating several projects in the traditional and alternative renewable energy space in Suriname.
|
·
|
N.V. Energie Bedrijven Suriname (NV EBS), whose legal status is categorized as a limited liability Incorporation, is 100% owned by the Government of Suriname and has the monopoly to generate electrical energy for all consumers in Suriname, is predicting unprecedented demand in energy consumption in Suriname in the next ten (10) years.
|
|
·
|
EBS’s baseline scenario, which is being used to plan investments, suggests that there will be a 270% expansion in national energy demand during the coming ten years.
|
|
·
|
Because of the above, EBS has outlined three key tenets for execution in the next five (5) years:
|
|
o
|
Rapidly increase power capacity to meet the energy demand:
|
|
o
|
Significantly reduce the cost of price for energy; and
|
|
o
|
Provide a new tariff structure with competitive elements to the consumers.
|
|
·
|
To meet the expected demand, EBS has embraced a number of energy solutions, including the international trend to use more alternative and renewable energy sources. This multi-phase approach to meeting the current and expected energy demand is in direct correlation with the new vision that is underway within NuState Energy Holdings, Inc.
|
We are unable to determine at this time whether we will be successful in capitalizing on the aforementioned opportunities in our business environment without proper funding.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation to officers, legal and professional fees, and consulting fees.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013, when compared with the prior year periods, is primarily due to the following:
|
·
|
During fiscal 2012, the consulting agreements with two related parties expired. Those contracts were not renewed during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, resulting in lower consulting fees during the period;
|
|
·
|
This decrease was offset slightly by an increase in legal and professional fees related to the filing of our registration statement and the bankruptcy filing of our former subsidiaries, CXT and P2SI.
|
We believe that our selling, general, and administrative expenses will continue at their current rate as we continue to focus our resources on the search for a business opportunity for the remainder of 2013. Should we begin merger or acquisition procedures, we believe that our selling, general, and administrative expenses will substantially increase.

$ | - | $ | 26,606 | -100.0 | % | $ | 5,556 | $ | 87,197 | -93.6 | % |
Decrease in fair value of derivative liabilities results from the changes in the fair value of the derivative liability due to the application of ASC 815, resulting in either income or expense, depending on the difference in fair value of the derivative liabilities between their measurement dates. The decrease in fair value of derivative liabilities recognized during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to the setting of a conversion price floor on all outstanding convertible notes payable convertible at a variable rate. The decrease in fair value of derivative liabilities recognized during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012 is primarily due to an increase of our common stock quoted price between measurement dates and during such periods, respectively. Our common stock quoted price is one of the primary assumptions used in the computation of our derivative liabilities.

Interest expense represents stated interest of notes and convertible notes payable as well as amortization of debt discount. The increase in interest expense during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to the $50,000 increase in a certain promissory note recognized as interest expense. The decrease in interest expense during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to lower amortization of debt discount during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, when compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to the issuance of $150,000 in convertible notes payable during fiscal 2011 with embedded conversion features amounting to approximately $107,000, all of which was amortized prior to the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013. The embedded conversion features were accounted for as debt discount and amortized over the terms of the related convertible notes, which ranged between 6 and 12 months.

We believe that our interest expense will continue at the same levels as the first nine months of 2013 for the remainder of 2013.

At March 31, 2013 and 2012, 100% of our total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that we have ready access to sufficient funds to meet commitments and effectively implement our growth strategy. Our primary sources are financing activities such as the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes payable. In the past, we have mostly relied on debt and equity financing to provide for our operating needs.
We cannot ascertain that we have sufficient funds from operations to fund our ongoing operating requirements through June 30, 2013. As of May 15, 2013 we had less than $1,000 on hand. We may need to raise funds to enhance our working capital and use them for strategic purposes. If such need arises, we intend to generate proceeds from either debt or equity financing.
We intend to finance our operations using a mix of equity and debt financing. We do not anticipate incurring capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will need to raise approximately $180,000 per year in the near term to finance the recurring costs of being a publicly-traded company, $564,000 to continue operations, and $120,000 to implement a plan of operations, with additional funding necessary to pay our outstanding obligations. In the long-term, we anticipate we will need to raise a substantial amount of capital to complete an acquisition. We are unable to quantify the resources we will need to successfully complete an acquisition. If these funds cannot be obtained, we may not be able to consummate an acquisition or merger, and our business may fail as a result.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has used net cash in its operating activities of approximately $122,000 and $250,000 during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and has a working capital deficit of approximately $4.5 million and $6.2 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future, once a merger with an operating company is consummated. Management plans may continue to provide for its capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt and the Company will continue to find possible acquisition target. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.

Nine months ended March 31, 2013
The increase in accrued compensation during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012 is primarily due to slower payments to our officers resulting from a lack of resources to pay such payables timely, offset by the forfeiture of $282,000 in compensation by one of our officers and the satisfaction of $150,000 to the same officer through the cashless exercise of stock options. The increase in accrued interest during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to the issuance of interest-bearing convertible notes payable during the prior year.
Cash generated from financing activities consists of proceeds of $55,000 from the issuance of convertible notes payable and proceeds of $70,000 from the issuance of common stock during the nine-month period.
The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, when compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses and interest expense during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013.
Nine months ended March 31, 2012
The increase in accrued interest and accrued compensation during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012 resulted primarily from our lack of financial resources to pay such payables.
Cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds of $160,000 from the issuance of convertible notes payable during the nine-month period.
Cash used in operating activities during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012 is due primarily to higher operating expenses and interest expense, offset by the collection of our other receivable.
Capital Raising Transactions
Sale of Common Stock
We generated proceeds of $70,000 from the sale of 14,000,000 shares of our Common Stock during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013.
