Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1–Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
–TetriDyn Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), optimizes business and information technology (IT) processes by using systems engineering methodologies, strategic planning, and system integration to develop radio-frequency identification products to address location tracking issues in the healthcare industry, including issues surrounding patient care; optimization of business processes for healthcare providers; improved reporting of incidents; and increased revenues for provided services.
Prior to 2015, as the Company’s own marketing efforts were constrained by shortages of capital and management resources, it sought to obtain management and entrepreneurial services as well as new external funding as a bridge to marketing its
Silver Key Solutions
and
ChargeCatcher
products to both domestic and international markets. This led to a March 2015 investment by an unrelated firm that purchased a controlling block of the Company’s common stock and assumed management control of the Company to advance its marketing efforts. The Company is pursuing marketing with a residential healthcare provider that is exploring the installation of
Silver Key Solutions
and
ChargeCatcher
in its combined rehabilitation services, ancillary senior care services, senior care facilities, and other affiliates as a platform for third-party sales and installations. This provider recently agreed it will carry out a beta trial of the Silver Key product line, including a peer review.
During 2015, the Company also focused on completing a possible acquisition of Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“OTE”), which is developing deep-water hydrothermal technologies to provide renewable energy and drinkable water.
See
Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 8, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.
It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, including the financial statements and notes thereto.
Note 2–Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation–
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, an Idaho corporation also named TetriDyn Solutions, Inc. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Segments–
The Company had only one business segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
Use of Estimates–
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
6
Cash and Cash Equivalents–
For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition–
Revenue from software licenses, related installation, and support services is recognized when earned and realizable. Revenue is earned and realizable when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services, if requested by the customers, have been rendered and are determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received from customers before these criteria being met are deferred. Revenue from the sale of software is recognized when delivered to the customer or upon installation of the software if an installation contract exists. Revenue from post-contract support service is recognized as the service is provided, which is determined on an hourly basis. The Company recognizes the revenue received for unused support hours under support service contracts that have had no support activity after two years. Revenue applicable to multiple-element fee arrangements is divided among the software, the installation, and post-contract support service contracts using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, as evidenced by the prices charged when the software and the services are sold as separate products or arrangements.
The Company had four and five customers that represented more than 10% of sales for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and four customers that represented more than 10% of sales for either the three- or six-month period ended June 30, 2014, as follows:

Going Concern
–The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $59,586 and $114,099 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The Company used $93,761 of cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,397,678 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,397,678 as of June 30, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to increase sales and obtain external funding for its product development. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Income Taxes–
The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10-25,
Income Taxes
. Under ASC 740-10-25, 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, 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. The Company’s recent equity raises and possibly past restructuring events have resulted in the occurrence of a triggering event as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which could limit the use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has yet to undertake a study to quantify any limitations on the use of its net operating loss carryforwards.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
—
ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
|
|
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
|
The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, customer deposits, notes payable, and related-party convertible notes payable. Pursuant to ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, and ASC 825,
Financial Instruments
, the fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
Property and Equipment–
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is set at five years for computing equipment and vehicles and seven years for office equipment. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in the results of operations when realized.
Net Loss per Common Share–
Basic and diluted net loss per common share are computed based upon the weighted-average stock outstanding as defined by ASC 260,
Earnings Per Share
. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, 0 and 0, respectively, of common share equivalents for granted stock options were antidilutive and not used in the calculation of diluted net loss per share. Additionally, as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, 15,954,938 and 38,761,100, respectively, of common share equivalents for convertible note payables and 1,033,585 and 0 shares, respectively, issuable upon exercise of a warrant were antidilutive and not used in the calculation of diluted net loss per share.
Stock-Based Compensation–
On June 17, 2009, at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan under which up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued. The 2009 plan is to be administered either by the board of directors or by the appropriate committee to be appointed from time to time by the board of directors. Awards granted under the 2009 plan may be incentive stock options (“ISOs”) (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), appreciation rights, options that do not qualify as ISOs, or stock bonus awards that are awarded to employees, officers, and directors who, in the opinion of the board or the committee, have contributed or are expected to contribute materially to the Company’s success. In addition, at the discretion of the board of directors or the committee, options or bonus stock may be granted to individuals who are not employees, officers, or directors, but contribute to the Company’s success.
8
Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 505,
Share-Based Payment
. Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue 96-18,
Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,
defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either: (a) a performance commitment, as defined, is reached; or (b) the earlier of: (i) the nonemployee performance is complete; or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the EITF.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 505 for its stock-based compensation plan. Under ASC 505, all employee stock-based compensation will be measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the option or award, and will be recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is typically through the date the options or awards vest. Furthermore, compensation costs will also be recognized for the unvested portion over the remaining requisite service period, using the grant-date fair value measured under the provisions of ASC 505 for pro forma and disclosure purposes.
Note 3–Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
. The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. This ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,
Revenue Recognition
, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35,
Revenue Recognition–Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts
. The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15,
Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern
, which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03,
Interest
—
Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,
to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs 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. The ASU does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. For public companies, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
9
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05,
Intangibles
—
Goodwill and Other
—
Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If such an arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for it as a service contract. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
Note 4–Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $416,564 in accounts payable, $261,609 of which was due on multiple revolving credit cards under the name of the Company’s former chief executive officer (now deceased) or the name of the Company’s current president. These amounts represent advances to the Company from funds borrowed on credit cards in the names of these officers as an accommodation to the Company at a time when it was unable to obtain advances on its own credit. The obligations bear varying rates of interest between 5.25% and 29.99%. The Company agreed to reimburse the former chief executive officer and the current president for these liabilities (
see
Note 9).
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $293,539 in accrued liabilities. The accrued liabilities included $213,436 in unpaid salaries to two of its officers, which were assigned by the officers to JPF Venture Group, Inc. (“JPF”), pursuant to an Investment Agreement dated March 12, 2015 (
see
Note 8).
Note 5–Convertible Notes Payable to Related Parties
In 2010, the Company borrowed $150,000 in three separate loans from two of its officers and directors, repayable pursuant to various convertible promissory notes. The terms of the notes are as follows: (a) no interest will accrue if the note is repaid within 60 days; (b) if the note is not repaid within 60 days, the Company is obligated to pay 10% for costs associated with securing the funds; (c) if the loan is repaid within one year, no annual interest rate will be charged; however, if the loan is not repaid within one year, the note will accrue interest at 6% per annum, beginning on the one-year anniversary date of the note; (d) the lenders are authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into the Company’s common stock at its fair value at any time while the note is outstanding; and (e) the loan’s due date for full repayment is December 31, 2013. Since the loans were not paid within 60 days, the Company is obligated to pay $15,000 for costs associated with securing the funds and accrued interest. The notes were not paid when due.
In 2011, the Company borrowed $125,000 in five separate loans from two of its officers and directors, repayable pursuant to various convertible promissory notes. The terms of the notes are as follows: (a) no interest will accrue if the note is repaid within 60 days; (b) if the note is not repaid within 60 days, the Company is obligated to pay 10% for costs associated with securing the funds; (c) if the loan is repaid within one year, no annual interest rate will be charged; however, if the loan is not repaid within one year, the note will accrue interest at 6% per annum, beginning on the one-year anniversary date of the note; (d) the lenders are authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into the Company’s common stock at its fair value at any time while the note is outstanding; and (e) the loan’s due date for full repayment is December 31, 2014. Since the loans were not paid within 60 days, the Company is obligated to pay $12,500 for costs associated with securing the funds. The notes were not paid when due.
10
In 2012, the Company borrowed $45,500 in three separate loans from two of its officers and directors, repayable pursuant to various convertible promissory notes. The terms of the notes are as follows: (a) no interest will accrue if the note is repaid within 60 days; (b) if the note is not repaid within 60 days, the Company is obligated to pay 10% for costs associated with securing the funds; (c) if the loan is repaid within one year, no annual interest rate will be charged; however, if the loan is not repaid within one year, the note will accrue interest at 6% per annum, beginning on the one-year anniversary date of the note; (d) the lenders are authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into the Company’s common stock at its fair value at any time while the note is outstanding; and (e) the loan’s due date for full repayment is December 31, 2014. Since the loans were not paid within 60 days, the Company is obligated to pay $4,550 for costs associated with securing the funds. The notes were not paid when due.
On March 19, 2015, the Company exchanged the above convertible notes payable to its officers and directors in the aggregate principal amount of $320,246, plus accrued but unpaid interest of $74,134, for an aggregate of $394,380 as of December 31, 2014, into a single, $394,380 consolidated convertible note dated December 31, 2014. The new consolidated convertible note has payment and other terms identical to the notes exchanged, except that the conversion provisions were changed from a conversion price to be equal to the stock’s fair value as of the conversion date to a fixed conversion price under the consolidated note of $0.025 per share, the approximate market price of the Company’s common stock as of the date of the issuance of the consolidated note in March 2015. The note is due and payable within 90 days after demand. On March 23, 2015, the officers and directors holding this consolidated note assigned it to JPF pursuant to the Investment Agreement.
See
Note 8. As of June 30, 2015, this consolidated convertible note had a principal balance of $394,380, plus accrued but unpaid interest of $12,509.
On June 23, 2015, the Company agreed to borrow $50,000 from its principal stockholder, JPF, pursuant to a promissory note. The terms of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per annum; (ii) the note is payable 90 days after demand; and (iii) payee is authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of one share each for $0.03 of principal amount of the note. JPF is an investment entity that is majority-owned by Jeremy P. Feakins, a director, chief executive officer, and chief financial officer of the Company. This loan was not funded until July 2015, so there is no outstanding balance at June 30, 2015.
Note 6–Notes Payable in Default
As of October 25, 2011, a loan from one economic development entity was in default. The loan principal was $50,000, with accrued interest of $11,908 through June 30, 2015. The Company plans to work with the entity to arrange for an extension on the loan.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company was delinquent in payments on two loans to a second economic development entity. The Company owed this economic entity $73,470 in late payments, with an outstanding balance of $163,791 and accrued interest of $35,766 as of June 30, 2015. Both loans were guaranteed by two of the Company’s officers. One loan is secured by liens on intangible software assets, and the other loan is secured by the officers’ personal property. The Company is working with this entity to bring the payments current as soon as cash flow permits.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company was delinquent in payments on a loan to a third economic development entity. The Company owed the third economic entity $88,070 in late payments, with an outstanding balance of $85,821 and accrued interest of $19,018 as of June 30, 2015. This loan is secured by a junior lien on all the Company’s assets and shares of the founders’ common stock. The Company is working with this entity to bring the payments current as soon as cash flow permits.
11
Note 7–Commitments and Contingencies
On March 23, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 12, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) with OTE. Before entering into this agreement, there was no material relationship between the Company and its affiliates and OTE and its affiliates.
On March 1, 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a company whose managing partner is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Per the agreement, the Company rents space through February 28, 2016. The monthly rent is $2,500 per month and commenced on April 1, 2015, when the Company began occupying the space. Rent expense per this agreement is $7,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Merger Terms
—Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company would acquire OTE (the “Merger”) as follows: (i) the Company would organize a wholly owned subsidiary that would merge with and into OTE, with OTE continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; and (ii) each share of OTE common stock outstanding or issuable on the conversion of outstanding notes and exercise of warrants (other than shares owned by stockholders who dissent to the transaction) immediately before the Merger, would be converted into the right to receive one newly issued share of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.
Conditions to Completion of Merger
—The completion of the Merger would constitute the offer and sale of the Company’s securities to the stockholders of OTE, which can only be effected if a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is effective or an exemption from registration is available. The Company has determined to seek an exemption from registration under the Securities Act by meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(10) of this statute, which exempts from registration securities issued when the terms and conditions of such issuance are approved, after hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions meeting certain requirements by, among others, a duly authorized administrative agency. In an effort to meet these requirements, the Company has filed an application for a fairness hearing to be held pursuant to the provisions of Section 25142 of the California Securities Law (the “Fairness Hearing”) so that the issuance of the securities to complete the Merger will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.
The California application for a Fairness Hearing is now pending. The Fairness Hearing and permitting application are significant and quite technical, and the determination of whether the Merger will meet the California fairness requirements will be subject to the discretion of the hearing officer. No assurance can be given as to whether or not the hearing will result in the denial of the application, an adjustment of the terms of the Merger, the issuance of a permit meeting the conditions of Securities Act Section 3(a)(10) exemption, or other action.
If California issues a permit availing the Company of the exemption under Securities Act Section 3(a)(10) and the other conditions to closing the Merger are met, the Merger will be completed promptly thereafter. If California does not issue the permit or the other Merger conditions are not satisfied: (i) the Merger Agreement will terminate; (ii) the Company and OTE will remain as separate companies; and (iii) JPF will continue as the 55% controlling stockholder of the Company as it seeks to advance commercialization of its technologies and pursue other opportunities.
Completion of the Merger is also conditioned on the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the respective parties to the Merger Agreement, the satisfaction of certain conditions, and other covenants, many of which may be waived by either party.
12
Reverse Split to Facilitate Merger
—The Company currently has an authorized capitalization of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. With 24.0 million shares outstanding immediately preceding the Merger, after giving effect to JPF’s return of 24,031,863 shares issued under the Investment Agreement for cancellation immediately preceding the closing of the Merger as discussed below, the Company would not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares to convey 95% ownership of its stock to the OTE stockholders as agreed to complete the Merger, which would require the issuance of 369.9 million shares at closing and the reservation of about 86.7 shares for issuance on the conversion of outstanding notes and the exercise of outstanding warrants. Accordingly, immediately preceding the Merger, the Company will effect a 1-for-4.6972 reverse-stock-split of its common stock (the “Reverse Split”) by filing an amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. This amendment will also increase the Company’s authorized common stock to 200,000,000 shares.
As a result of the Reverse Split, the Company will pay each record holder of less than 4.6972 shares of the Company’s common stock immediately before the Reverse Split (the “Minority Stockholders”) cash in the amount of $0.03 per share of the Company’s common stock, without interest (which amount includes a 20% premium over the fair market value of $0.025 per share as of March 3, 2015, as determined by the Company’s board of directors), for each share of the Company’s common stock held immediately before the Reverse Split, and the Minority Stockholders will no longer be stockholders of the Company. Each record holder of 4.6972 or more shares of the Company’s common stock immediately before the Reverse Split will own approximately one-fifth of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by such stockholder immediately before the Reverse Split.
Post-Merger Business of OTE and the Company
—OTE is developing deep-water hydrothermal technologies to provide renewable energy and drinkable water. OTE’s Sea Water Air Conditioning (“SWAC”) technology takes advantage of the difference between cold deep water and warmer surface water to produce hydrothermal energy without requiring fossil fuels. OTE has recently broken ground on a SWAC project at the upscale Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas. This project, believed to be the first large-scale seawater air conditioning system in the Bahamas, is scheduled to be completed and in service in 2016.
OTE is interested in the commercial potential of proprietary technologies being developed by the Company as opportunities for future business diversification. Further, OTE recognizes that the Company’s status as a company that is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may enhance its access to the capital markets to fund future projects.
After the Merger, the combined enterprise intends to continue opportunistically to develop the lines of business of both the Company and OTE as commercial opportunities are identified for one, the other, or both, after considering funding availability, potential financial returns, and related risks.
Ownership of the Company Following the Merger and Reverse Split
—As a result of the Investment Agreement as discussed below, JPF now owns 55% of Company’s common stock and is a principal creditor of the Company.
If the Merger is completed, the JPF Stock (as defined below) purchased pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be returned to the Company and cancelled, and the former OTE stockholders will own 95% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (after giving effect to the exercise of OTE warrants and the conversion of OTE notes). The pre-Merger company shareholders will have a 5% interest in the post-Merger company, without giving effect to the conversion of the June 23, 2015, convertible note issued to JPF, and the officers and directors of OTE will be the officers and directors of the post-Merger company. JPF will also continue to be a principal creditor of the Company.

Note 8–Stockholder’s Deficit
Investment Agreement—
On March 23, 2015, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement dated March 12, 2015, with JPF and Antoinette Knapp Hempstead and the estate of her late husband, David W. Hempstead (together, the “Hempsteads”). Before entering into this agreement, there was no material relationship between the Company and its affiliates, on the one hand, and JPF and its affiliates, on the other.
Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, JPF purchased for $100,000 in cash 29,372,277 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.003405 per share (the “JPF Stock”) and a warrant to purchase up to 1,033,585 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.003 per share. JPF is an investment entity that is majority-owned by Jeremy P. Feakins, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OTE. The JPF Stock represents a 55% ownership interest by JPF in the Company, without giving effect to the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock on the conversion of outstanding convertible notes.
JPF’s investment is being used principally to initiate and pursue an updated technical and commercialization review of the Company’s intellectual properties with a view toward possible broadened marketing introduction and, in general, to advance the Company’s business activities and to bring its regulatory filings current. The terms of the Investment Agreement provide that, if the Merger with OTE is consummated, 100% of the JPF Stock will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares. The purpose of this intended cancellation is to ensure that the Company’s current shareholders (excluding JPF) retain a 5% interest in the post-Merger company. If the Merger is not consummated, the JPF Stock will remain outstanding, and JPF will maintain its position as a 55% stockholder in the Company.
Concurrently with the execution of the Investment Agreement, the Hempsteads, JPF, and Jeremy P. Feakins entered into an agreement whereby, among other things: (i) JPF agreed to execute supplemental guarantees for the Hempsteads in connection with certain debt obligations to economic development entities owed by the Company and guaranteed by the Hempsteads; (ii) the Hempsteads transferred to JPF the consolidated convertible note payable by the Company to the Hempsteads with an outstanding principal balance of $394,380 as of December 31, 2014, together with accrued and unpaid payroll of $213,436, for a total of $607,816; and (iii) the Hempsteads returned to the Company for cancellation 1,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
As required by the Investment Agreement, two designees of JPF, Jeremy P. Feakins and Peter Wolfson, were appointed as directors of the Company to replace incumbent directors Orville J. Hendrickson and Larry J. Ybarrondo, who resigned.
Preferred Stock
—Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, 1,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were cancelled. The Company has filed a Certificate of Withdrawal of Certificate of Designation for the preferred stock with the Nevada Secretary of State.
In-Kind Contribution
—The Company had minimal operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, other than the investment on March 23, 2015. The value of any services contributed by management during this period is deemed immaterial.

Note 9–Subsequent Events
Credit Card Obligations
The Company was responsible for reimbursing Dave Hempstead, its chief executive officer, principal financial officer, and director, for personal credit card account expenditures on its behalf. The balance due on these credit card accounts was $261,609 as of the date of Mr. Hempstead’s death on April 26, 2013. The credit card companies have not sought collection from assets owned jointly with Mr. Hempstead’s surviving spouse, who in turn advised the Company on July 15, 2015, that she will not seek reimbursement from the Company unless the credit card companies hereafter seek payment. The full amount of this liability has been recorded and disclosed as part of accounts payable and will continue to be accrued until the statute of limitations has expired.
Convertible Note Payable to Related Party
The Company received the $50,000 from JPF referred to in Note 5 subsequent to June 30, 2015.
