Table of Contents

PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. is a technology company specializing in providing pertinent, real-time information to the worldwide transportation and security industries. NuState’s proprietary software, GPSTrax, is built on an Open Architecture platform for the logistics and telematics industries.

We believe there are many opportunities to leverage and monetize our software technology by licensing it to companies that provide green technology solutions to medium and large logistics companies. In November 2014, NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. signed a definitive agreement with The Ronn Motor Group, with offices in Dalian, China and the United States, to license and market GPSTrax in China and other international markets.

NuState is launching a new GPSTrax Value-Added Reseller (VAR) Program, focusing on opportunities in consumer-based solutions such as asset tracking. The VAR Program will increase awareness, availability and support of the GPSTrax solution at a time when a growing number of companies are looking to update and optimize their solutions. We expect to generate revenues from this Program during fiscal 2017.

Our software technology provides validation and verification of fuel cost consumption reporting and fuel tax credits to logistics companies. The software also is designed to document the exact amount of reduction of harmful emissions that results from the alternative energy products. 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 in the country of Suriname, NuState is evaluating several projects in the alternative renewable energy market in Suriname. NuState has been in discussions with AMPS, NV (“AMPS”), based in Paramaribo, Suriname, to enter into a license agreement with its partner, The Ronn Motor Group, in relation to the purchase of GPSTrax© for their multi-million-dollar alternative energy projects. AMPS focuses on providing engineering, procurement and construction management (EPC) services, Power Transmission & Distribution, Renewable and Conventional Energy as well as Power Management Systems to Suriname and its fellow Caribbean Community members.

Employees

At September 30, 2016, we had 2 full time employees.

Our principal offices are located at 401 E. Las Olas Boulevard, Suite 1400, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. Our telephone number is (954) 712-7487.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “NSEH”.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The common shares of our Company are considered speculative. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating our Company and our business before purchasing our common shares. Our business, operating or financial condition could be harmed due to any of the following risks:

Our auditors have raised substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Since inception we have experienced recurring net losses which losses caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $41.5 million as of June 30, 2016. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We currently have a working capital deficit and negative cash flow from operations, and are uncertain if and when we will be able to pay our current liabilities.

Our working capital deficit was approximately $4.5 million as of June 30, 2016. This deficit consists of $1,806 in current assets, offset by $4,500,863 in current liabilities. In addition, we had negative cash flow from operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 of approximately $424,000. We do not have any liquid or other assets that can be liquidated to pay our current liabilities while we continue to incur additional liabilities to our officer and certain service providers who are working to prepare the documents required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to enable our common shares to be registered for trading. Since we currently have limited operations, the only ways we have of paying our current liabilities are to issue our common or preferred shares to our creditors or to issue unsecured promissory notes which may include certain features such as convertibility into common or preferred shares or warrants to purchase additional common or preferred shares in the future.

We currently do not have sufficient capital to finance the anticipated recurring costs of being a publicly-traded company.

As of September 30, 2016, we had minimal cash on hand. We anticipate incurring incremental annual costs of approximately $180,000 related to being a publicly-traded company. We will need to raise additional capital to support our public-company-related activities.

We had $3,232,885 of convertible notes, notes payable, and accrued interest payable as of June 30, 2016, of which of this amount $2,892,885 currently past due, and do not have the funds necessary to pay these obligations.

In addition to funding our operating expenses, we need capital to pay various debt obligations totaling approximately $3.2 million as of June 30, 2016 which are either currently past due or which are due in the current fiscal year. Currently, there is $1,442,314 principal amount of the convertible notes payable which is past due, $215,241 principal of the notes payable which is past due, and $1,235,330 of accrued interest which is past due. The interest on the past due principal amounts will continue to accrue monthly at their stated rates. Holders of past due notes do not have a security interest in our assets. The existence of these obligations provides additional challenges to us in our efforts to raise capital to fund our operations.

We have $673,200 of undeclared accumulative dividends as of June 30, 2016 and we may not be able to settle this obligation in cash or stocks.

In addition to funding our operating expenses, we need capital to pay undeclared cumulative dividends totaling approximately $673,200 as of June 30, 2016. The existence of these obligations provides additional challenges to us in our efforts to raise capital to fund our operations.

In the event we consummate a transaction with a profitable company, we may not be able to utilize our net operating loss carryover which may have a negative impact on your investment.

If we enter into a combination with a business that has operating income, we cannot assure you that we will be able to utilize all or even a portion of our existing net operating loss carryover for federal or state tax purposes following such a business combination. If we are unable to make use of our existing net operating loss carryover, the tax advantages of such a combination may be limited, which could negatively impact the price of our stock and the value of your investment. These factors will substantially increase the uncertainty, and thus the risk, of investing in our shares.

Economic conditions may affect our ability to obtain financing and to complete a merger or acquisition.

Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries, and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we will need. In the presence of these economic conditions, we may have difficulty raising sufficient capital to support the investigation of potential business opportunities, and to consummate a merger or acquisition. These factors substantially increase the uncertainty, and thus the risk, of investing in our shares.

There are a number of factors related to our common stock which may have an adverse effect on our shareholders.

Shareholders’ interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities. In the event that we are required to issue additional shares, enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities or acquire business interests in the future from the issuance of shares of our common stock to acquire such interests, the interests of existing shareholders in our Company will be diluted and existing shareholders may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we do issue additional shares, it will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all existing shareholders.

We have certain provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and there are other provisions under Florida law, that may serve to make a takeover of our Company more difficult.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders. Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of Florida law also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation’s disinterested stockholders.

Our common stock is quoted in the over the counter market on the OTC Pink.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink. OTC Pink offers a quotation service to companies that are unable to list their securities on an exchange or for companies, such as ours, whose securities are not eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. The requirements for quotation on the OTC Pink are considerably lower and less regulated than those of the OTC Bulletin Board or an exchange. Because our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, it is possible that even fewer brokers or dealers would be interested in making a market in our common stock which further adversely impacts its liquidity.

The tradability of our common stock is limited under the penny stock regulations which may cause the holders of our common stock difficulty should they wish to sell their shares.

Because the quoted price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” and trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock,” including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities and this limited liquidity will make it more difficult for an investor to sell his shares of our common stock in the secondary market should the investor wish to liquidate the investment. In addition to the applicability of the penny stock rules, other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.

We rent our principal executive offices from an unrelated third party on a month-to-month basis for a monthly rental of $350.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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.

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. The Company’s Chairman and President since April 2010, and its Chief Executive Officer from July 2010, is Kevin Yates. The Company’s headquarters is located at 401 E. Las Olas Boulevard, Suite 1400, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. Since April 2010, the Company’s current management developed, and began implementing, the following strategic plan designed to increase the Company’s shareholders’ value:

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 $5,187,087 or 53% from $9,687,950 on September 30, 2008 to $4,500,863 on June 30, 2016.

In August 2012, its former 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 has filed the proper paperwork and as a result has reduced its liabilities by $1,875,581.

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 and an affiliate of Rentar. The intellectual property that the Company agreed to share with Rentar included a patent titled “Dynamic and Predictive Information System and Method for Shipping Assets and Transport”.

Licensing Use of Intellectual Property

NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. signed a definitive agreement with The Ronn Motor Group, with offices in Dalian, China and the United States, to license and market NuState’s IP software, GPSTrax©, for use by Ronn Motor Group’s partners in China and other international markets. On February 26, 2016, we agreed to suspend the definitive agreement with Ronn Motor Group as Ronn Motor Group is going through a corporate restructuring. On February 26, 2016 we entered into a binding Letter of Intent with MK Technologies LLC (a related party to Ronn Motor Group), in relation to the purchase of its fuel enhancement technologies and all its Assets, for total consideration of $2,000,000. $1,000,000 will be paid at closing, with the balance of the purchase price paid out in accordance with a mutually approved royalty agreement and paid consulting agreement, and $1,000,000 to be paid in stock, cash, or a combination on a mutually agreed schedule.

Results of Operations

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

For the year ended June 30, 2016, selling, general and administrative expenses were $719,868 as compared to $358,656 for the year ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $361,212 or approximately 50%. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2016, when compared with the prior year, is primarily due to an increase in salaries related to increased headcount and an increase in accounting expense due to costs associated with bringing our SEC filings current.

Changes 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 increase in fair value of derivative liabilities recognized during fiscal 2016 is primarily due to the increase in the market price of our common stock. The decrease in fair value of derivative liabilities recognized during fiscal 2015 is primarily due to an increase of our common stock quoted price between measurement dates and during such periods, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense represents the stated interest of notes and convertible notes payable as well as the amortization of debt discount. The increase in interest expense during fiscal 2016 is primarily due to increased amortization of debt discount of $131,422, along with an increase in interest-bearing liabilities.

Derivative Liability Expense

During fiscal 2016, the Company entered into sixteen unsecured convertible promissory note agreements totaling $265,000. These notes bear interest at rates between 8% and 14%, and are convertible into shares of common stock at a discount rate of 50% of the average 10-day closing bid price of the Company's stock. Derivative liability was recognized at the issuance dates of each note and totaled $265,000, with a corresponding charge to debt discount of $265,000 and $265,000 to derivative liability expense. 

Loss on Settlement of Debt

On October 9, 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with IBC Funds, LLC (“IBC’). This agreement was approved by the Manatee County, Florida Court on October 10, 2014. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to settle approximately $259,000 of outstanding liabilities (the “IBC Claim Amount”) by issuing IBC 572,667 shares of its common stock at a price per share equal to fifty percent of the lowest sales price of the common stock during the fifteen-day trading period preceding the request of payment. In the event the Company was delinquent on issuance of the Company’s shares upon request by IBC, the discount would be increased by five percent and by an additional five percent for each additional delinquency until all settlement shares had been received. At no time could IBC and its affiliates collectively own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock. During October 2014, IBC paid an aggregate of $66,000 to various Company creditors. On February 12, 2015 IBC issued a letter of default to the Company. The Company issued to IBC an additional 286,247 common shares valued at $116,874.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2016 and 2015, 100% of our total assets consisted of cash.

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 were unable to generate sufficient funds from operations to fund our ongoing operating requirements through June 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016 we had approximately $500 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, 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 $424,300 and $179,000 during the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and has a working capital deficit of approximately $4.6 million and $5.9 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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 targets. 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.

Year ended June 30, 2016

Net cash used in operations in fiscal year 2016 increased by $245,389 or 137% from fiscal year 2015. This cash was obtained through the sale of $340,000 of convertible promissory notes and the sale of $85,000 of preferred stock.

Year ended June 30, 2015

Net cash used in operations in fiscal year 2015 increased by $50,029 or 38.8% from fiscal year 2014. This cash was obtained through the sale of $185,000 of convertible promissory notes.

The increase in cash used in operating activities during fiscal 2016, when compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to an increase in operating expenses during fiscal 2016.

Capital Raising Transactions

Issuance of Convertible Notes Payable

We generated proceeds of $340,000 and $185,000 during fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively, from the issuance of convertible notes payable and promissory notes.

Other outstanding obligations at June 30, 2016

Obligations to ASC Recap

In July, 2013, certain of the Company’s creditors showed interest in selling their claims against the Company to ASC Recap, LLC (“ASC”); this group also included both current and past management of the Company. This led to the Company signing a Liability Purchase Agreement with ASC on July 23, 2013. This Agreement required the Company to issue common shares within five business days of each purchase at a 25% discount from the market price to ASC in amounts equal to the claims purchased from the Company’s creditors. In addition, under the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued a $25,000 non-interest bearing convertible promissory note to ASC, as described in Note 4.

ASC signed a series of Claim Purchase Agreements with certain creditors of the Company to purchase their claims against the Company totaling $2,531,565. These claims consisted of notes payable, convertible notes payable, vendor payables and accrued compensation to the Company’s CEO and to a related party. The Claim Purchase Agreements required ASC to settle the creditors’ claims against the Company for a total of $1,305,996. Each Claim Purchase Agreement stipulated that ASC would pay each creditor the agreed-upon amount in up to twelve (12) monthly installments.

In January, 2014, the Company had not issued any shares to ASC as required by the agreement. As a result, ASC filed a complaint in Leon County, Florida demanding the prescribed issuance of shares from the Company for the purchased claims. A settlement agreement was reached on February 6, 2014, and on March 12, 2014 ASC Recap filed a motion in Leon County, Florida which forced the Company to comply. ASC Recap was awarded a $2,531,565 judgement which was to be paid by issuing free trading common stock at a 25% discount from the market price. In addition, on May 6, 2014, the Company issued a $125,000 non-interest bearing convertible promissory note to ASC, as described in Note 4. Between April and June of 2014, the Company issued to ASC 322,220,000 shares of common stock with an aggregate market value of $365,308, which reduced the recorded liability by $273,981; in July of 2014, the Company issued 82,980,000 shares of common stock with an aggregate market value of $24,894.

On August 13, 2015 ASC Recap, LLC issued the Company a letter of default related to its agreement to settle outstanding liabilities and related accrued interest and returned approximately $2,373,000 of liabilities to their original holders, which is detailed in the table at the end of Note 6. These balances reflect the payments made by ASC to creditors prior to the default.

An analysis of the settlement liability due to ASC is as follows:

The transfer of liability due to ASC Recap consisted of the following:

Convertible Notes Payable

The Company had convertible promissory notes aggregating approximately $1.6 million and $1.4 million outstanding at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The accrued interest amounted to approximately $1,037,000 and $754,000 at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Convertible Notes Payable bear interest at rates ranging between 10% and 18% per annum. Interest is generally payable monthly. The Convertible Notes Payable are generally convertible at rates ranging between $1.875 and $0.75 per share, at the holders’ option. At June 30, 2016, all convertible promissory notes have matured.

Additionally, upon conversion, the holders of $192,000 of convertible promissory notes are also entitled to 12,800,000 warrants, exercisable at a rate of $37.50. The warrants expire 3 years from the date of issuance.

Notes Payable

The Company had promissory notes aggregating approximately $240,000 at June 30, 2016 and $90,000 at June 30, 2015. The related accrued interest amounted to approximately $199,590 and $24,500 at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The notes payable bear interest at rates ranging between 8% and 16% per annum. Interest is generally payable monthly. All promissory notes have matured as of June 30, 2016.

Warrants

As of June 30, 2016, we had no outstanding warrants.

Derivative Liability

The Corporation recognizes all derivative financial instruments on its balance sheet at fair value. As of June 30, 2016 the Company had $452,965 in notes that are convertible into the Company’s common stock, and which contained certain ratchet provisions that reduce the conversion price of the notes. In accordance with ASC 815 the Company determined that the note the conversion features with provisions that reduce the exercise price of the notes did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815 as they were determined not to be indexed to the Company’s stock.

Derivatives are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value (see Note 3). These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in the Company’s structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on the Company’s balance sheet. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Climate Change

Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s critical accounting policies are as follows:

Convertible Instruments - The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with 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 in accordance with EITF 00-19. 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 subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional (as that term is described).

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 the provisions of ASC 470 20 “Debt with Conversion 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.

The Company believes the certain conversion features embedded in convertible notes payable are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the Company’s stock price. Accordingly, the Company has recognized derivative liabilities in connection with such instruments. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the date of issuance at every balance sheet thereafter. The Company uses judgment in determining which valuation is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., Black Scholes), the expected volatility, the implied risk free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who at June 30, 2016 was also our principal executive and financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making this assessment, our management used criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.

During our assessment of the design and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, management identified the following material weaknesses:

A material weakness is “a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected by us in a timely manner.” A significant deficiency, is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting.

We intend to gradually improve our internal control over financial reporting to the extent that we can allocate resources to such improvements. We intend to prioritize the design of our internal control over financial reporting starting with our control environment and risk assessments and ending with control activities, information and communication activities, and monitoring activities. Although we believe the time to adapt in the next year will help position us to provide improved internal control functions into the future, in the interim, these changes caused control deficiencies, which in the aggregate resulted in a material weakness. Due to the existence of these material weaknesses, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2016.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit smaller reporting companies to provide only the management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

None.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the SEC. Such executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders are also required by the SEC rules to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file a Form 5, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, our executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such persons.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to provide guiding principles to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller of our company in the performance of their duties.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

NuState Energy Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related statements of operations and changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $720,000 and cash used in operations of approximately $424,000 for the year ended of June 30, 2016. The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $4,500,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $41,541,000 at June 30, 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
