PART 1
 
ITEM 1,  BUSINESS

OVERVIEW
 
HPEV, Inc. (the “Company” or ”HPEV”)  was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2002.  under the name “Bibb Corporation”. On September 3, 2010, we changed our name to Z3 Enterprises, Inc.. On April 5, 2012, the Company further amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to HPEV, Inc.

THE COMPANY

The Company is a development stage company. Since inception we focused primarily on organizing our company, finding and negotiating with vendors and raising capital. In March 2011, we began commercialization of our technologies and research and development activities.
 
Our original planned principal operations were to produce fully integrated multi-media products targeting the marginally literate. On September 3, 2010, we signed a joint venture agreement (“Joint Venture Agreement”)  with Phoenix Productions and Entertainment Group, a Nevada limited liability company (“PPEG”), to produce and distribute television shows,  feature films, and other entertainment and educational projects and, consequently,  our focus shifted to educational, entertainment and reality show programming as well as feature films and special event marketing. Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, PPEG agreed to provide us with a minimum of $10 million in loans, lines of credit, or investments (up to $100 million) to fund the production, distribution and implementation of entertainment and educational projects.   In return for the loan or line of credit, PPEG would receive the full amount of its loans or investment plus an interest payment of 5% upon receipt of revenues by us from each project. No projects had ever reached the production phase and no loans were ever made under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement. The Joint Venture Agreement was terminated on December 9, 2011.

As a result of the joint venture, the Company changed its name from Bibb Corporation to Z3 Enterprises, Inc.  In December  2010, PPEG bought out the majority shareholder of the Company and there was a change of control of the Company. The Joint Venture Agreement was terminated on December 9, 2011 by mutual consent due to the Company’s further change in business direction at that time.

From September 2010 through March 2011, the Company pursued various business opportunities which were  never consummated.

On March 29, 2011, we entered into a share exchange agreement (which was amended on June 14, 2011) with HPEV, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“the Share Exchange Agreement”) to acquire 100 shares, constituting all of the issued and outstanding shares of HPEV, Inc. in consideration for the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of common stock.  Upon closing of the share exchange on April 15, 2011, HPEV, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary.
 
The terms of the Share Exchange Agreement required us, among other things to designate Quentin Ponder and Timothy Hassett as directors.
 
 
5

 
 
There was a change of control of our company on April 15, 2011 as a result of the issuance of 21,880,000 shares of our common stock to the original shareholders of HPEV, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. An additional 120,000 shares were issued during the fourth quarter of 2011 which completed the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of common stock under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. 

Our intent is now to commercialize our patents by implementing and licensing a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle conversion system based on the parallel vehicle platform. We also intend to incorporate our heat pipe technology in automotive components such as brakes.  As of March 28, 2013, we  have 5 patents and 12 patent applications pending which relate to thermal dispersion technologies and applications as well as a parallel vehicle power platform.  The Company intends to license the thermal technologies and applications to electric motor and vehicle component manufacturers; license a plug-in hybrid conversion system for heavy duty trucks, buses and tractor trailers and to fleet owners and service centers; and license or sell a mobile electric power system powered by the Company’s proprietary gearing system to commercial vehicle and fleet owners

On April 5, 2012, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to: (i) change our name from Z3 Enterprises, Inc. to HPEV, Inc.; (ii) increase our authorized common stock from 95,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares; (iii) increase our authorized preferred stock from  10,000,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares and (iii) to authorize “blank check” preferred stock, which may be issued in one or more classes or series, with such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as will be fixed by our board of directors. We also amended our bylaws to, among other things, permit our bylaws to be amended by majority shareholder or board approval.

On April 5, 2012, our board appointed Timothy Hassett as Chief Executive Officer, Quentin Ponder as Chief Financial Officer (he remains Treasurer), Theodore Banzhaf as President and Judson Bibb as Vice President (he remains Secretary).

On April 6, 2012, we further amended our bylaws to increase the number of directors from one to three directors and appointed Timothy Hassett and Quentin Ponder to serve as Chairman of the Board and Vice Chairman, respectively.

Effective April 23, 2012, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved our name change and the symbol change from BIBB to WARM.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement with Spirit Bear Limited (“Spirit Bear”), Jay Palmer and Carrie Dwyer were appointed to our board of directors effective February 20, 2013 and Donica Holt was appointed to our board of directors on March 7, 2013.

As operations have consisted of general administrative and pre-production activities, the Company is considered a development stage company in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

We have developed and intend to commercialize thermal dispersion technologies in various product platforms, and have developed and intend to commercialize an electric load assist technology around which we have designed a vehicle retrofit system. The Company hopes to generate revenues from license and royalty agreements with manufacturers and end-users.

As of March 29, 2013, the Company has five patents and 12 pending patents or patent applications that relate to composite heat pipe architecture, applications and a parallel vehicle platform which offers a complementary application to our thermal dispersion technology.

Our Technologies

Our technologies are divided into two distinct but complementary categories: heat dispersion technology, electric load assist and mobile auxiliary power technology.

Heat Dispersion Technology

Heat is an undesirable byproduct of anything that moves, especially motors and generators.  Historically, a large percentage of the cost of manufacturing any motor has been in the technology necessary to remove heat during its operation to prevent failure and increase power.  Heat can destroy motors, generators and many other types of machinery, and the energy necessary to remove heat can limit output.

Our thermal dispersion technology removes heat via patented heat pipe technologies.  Heat pipes have been utilized for more than 50 years, but we have a proprietary process and design technology that makes our heat pipes usable in many applications that have previously not been effective.  The key is that our heat pipes move heat in ANY direction in a system that requires little or no maintenance and can be applied to almost any motor, generator or industrial product.  We believe that this allows for more efficient, smaller, and higher output machines, resulting in cooler motors and a longer operating life.

Our patent portfolio covers the application and integration of our heat pipes into various cooling schemes for enhanced heat removal in motors, generators and numerous other industrial applications including marine, aviation and military.  We believe that our technologies have the potential to deliver power output increases and cost reductions, depending on the machine type or motor/generator size, as follows:

1.   Increase power density of current motor platforms by 20% to 50%,
2.   Reduce total product cost by 12.5% to 25%,
3.   Increase motor and generator efficiency by 1% to 2%, and
4.   Increase motor and generator life.

We believe that products produced with our technologies have the potential to deliver operational savings as well, including:

1.   Savings from reduced maintenance costs,
2.   Savings from the standardization of multiple platforms down to a single platform,
3.   Savings from the standardization of drawings and data around existing platforms,
4.   Savings from the ability to use standard designs and standard insulation systems versus custom, and
5.   Savings from the ability to integrate and produce on existing production lines with no retooling and no additional or minimum capital investment.

 
7

 
Our revenue model for the heat dispersion technology is to license the technology in exchange for royalties.

We have entered into product development and commercialization agreements with manufacturing partners.  We anticipate that we will begin to enter into license agreements, subject to successful completion of our initial product development, when the product is ready to be manufactured on the licensee’s regular production line, after all development and testing have been completed.

We currently expect to begin to generate revenues from our heat dispersion technology business in the second half of 2013

Mobile Electric Power

A proprietary gearing system the Company developed for our electric load assist (see below) can also be used to power an on-board generator with the result that commercial vehicles no longer need to tow a mobile generator to a work site. Management believes it has uncovered an immediate need for on-board, continuous generation of up to 200 kW of power to remote jobsites as well as the mobile generation of emergency power in the event of an outage or disaster. Consequently, we intend to offer an on-board generator installation kit as a stand-alone (Auxiliary Mobile Power) and as part of a hybrid conversion (the Ultimate Work Truck).

We currently expect to begin to generate revenues from our heat dispersion technology business in the second half of 2013

Electric Load Assist Technology

We have also developed proprietary Electric Load Assist (“ELA”) technology. The technology is the centerpiece of our vehicle retrofit system (separate and apart from our heat pipe technology and heat dispersion product development partnerships), which also relies on the benefits of heat removal and is protected by patents and patents-pending.

With ELA, a vehicle engine does not have to work as hard as some of the work that was done by the engine is now performed by an electric motor running in parallel.  The vehicle still drives and feels the same, and our ELA controller allows full acceleration and braking control; however, the engine runs much more efficiently and burns significantly less fossil fuel.  The ELA controller allows the vehicle operator to determine the amount of load assist during operation, ranging from all-fuel to all-electric.  We believe that our ELA system will provide a significant difference and improvement from, and competitive advantage over, current market offerings such as the Toyota Prius. If either the electrical system or the internal combustion engine fails, an ELA vehicle can operate on the remaining system.  In current market offerings, if either system fails, the vehicle fails.

Our ELA technology is compatible with any manufacturer as well as any power source, including traditional gasoline/diesel engines, compressed natural gas, batteries and fuel cells. We also believe that our technology will have a wide range of marine, aviation, industrial and military applications.

Initially, our ELA system business will implement a simple version of its technology for On-board mobile auxiliary power and hopes to generate revenue from transport companies and other businesses which own and/or manage fleets of Class 2, 3, 4 and 6 or light to medium-duty trucks.  Our revenue model for the ELA technology will be to license the technology in exchange for royalties based on fuel savings.
 
 
 
8

 
We currently expect to begin to generate revenues from our ELA technology business in the second half of 2013.

The Company also plans to incorporate composite heat pipes in vehicle components which generate heat such as brake calipers, resistors and rotors.   The new brake components should be incorporated in the initial conversion vehicle and the Company has granted two racing teams a one-year non-exclusive, revocable license to test its patented cooling technology’s performance in their racing cars.

STRATEGY

We have developed and intend to commercialize thermal dispersion technologies in various product platforms, and an electric load assist technology around which we have designed a vehicle retrofit system. In preparation, we have applied for trademarks for some of our technologies and their acronyms including ‘Totally Enclosed Heat Pipe Cooled’, ‘TEHPC’, ‘Electric Load Assist’ and ‘ELA’.

We believe that our proprietary technologies, including our patent portfolio and trade secrets, can help increase the efficiency and affect manufacturing cost structure in several large industries beginning with motor/generator and fleet vehicles.
 
The markets for products utilizing our technology include consumer, industrial and military markets, both in the U.S. and worldwide.  Our initial target markets include those involved in moving materials and moving people, such as:
 
·    Motors/Generators,
·    Mobile auxiliary power,
·    Compressors,

·    Turbines (Wind, Micro),
·    Bearings,

·    Electric Vehicles: rail, off-highway, mining, delivery, refuse,
·    Brakes/rotors/calipers,

·    Pumps/fans,
·    Passenger vehicles: auto, bus, train, aircraft,

·    Commercial vehicles: SUV, light truck, tram,
·    Military: boats, Humvee, truck, aircraft, and

·    Marine: boats ranging in size from 30 feet to 120 feet and beyond.

COMPETITION

The Company has switched its short term focus to mobile electric power where management sees a market need for on-board, generators as opposed to trailer-mounted generators towed behind a vehicle.  We believe we can provide up to 100 kW of auxiliary mobile power to any location for less than half the production cost of a towable, trailer-mounted generator. Equally, 100 kW trailer-mounted generators can weigh over 5,000 pounds. We intend to deliver the same power at under 1,000 pounds.

Many on-board power systems are designed to power the appliances and electronics of long haul, sleeper trucks. For instance, Mobile Electric Power Solutions uses the alternator to power a belt-driven system that provides up to 15 kilowatts.  Energy Extreme offers on-board battery operated generators such as auxiliary power units which can deliver up to 50 kilowatts and, consequently, power a wider range of items and equipment.

As for the incorporation of thermal dispersion technology in industrial electric motors, generators and alternators, the vast majority of the cooling solutions currently being offered by manufacturers are based on technology that’s over 50 years old. The Company is not aware of any new alternatives on the market.

While the new hybrid electric vehicle industry is intensely competitive and features several multi-national companies such as Ford, GM, and Volvo, the market for hybrid conversions is in its infancy.  There are a number of small companies selling do-it-yourself conversion kits for individual vehicles, EV Power Systems is pitching conversions for fleet vehicles, AMP Holding Inc. maker of AMP Electric Vehicles and Wrightspeed Inc. offer replacement electric drive trains for high fuel consumption vehicles and VIA Motors is offering conversions of a GM pick-up, van and SUV.  A competitor with a similar business plan is Echo Automotive which offers a technology based on a series platform. The technology features a bolt-on retrofit kit that attaches to the drive train and adds lithium ion batteries and a controller. To our knowledge, no other company has electric load assist technology in a parallel platform or an aftermarket commercial platform that is being retrofitted on a regular, on-going basis.

ALTe Powertrain Technologies  and Eaton Corporation are converting commercial vehicles by replacing the entire power-train including the engine, transmission, fuel tank and drive shaft. We intend to perform conversions by adding standard components along with a patented thermal-engineered traction motor and the patent-pending electric load assist.

We aim to compete in the fleet markets for currently-owned vehicles.

We believe the primary competitive factors in our markets include, but are not limited to:
 
 
·   technological innovation;
 
·   product quality and safety;
·   product performance; and
·   price.
 
To a limited extent, we will be competing against new hybrid vehicles wherein the fleet owner has a vehicle that is near the end of its useful life and who elects to purchase a new hybrid vehicle rather than upgrade with a conversion to a plug-in hybrid.  However, it may still be cost effective for the fleet owner to purchase new and then add the conversion depending on the added cost for a new hybrid versus the conversion cost.

 
10

 
Some of our competitors and potential competitors may have greater resources than we do, and may be able to respond more quickly and efficiently to changes in the marketplace whether technological, economic or, simply, customer requirements or preferences.

Some of our potential competitors are significantly larger than we are, have been in business much longer than we have, and have significantly more resources at their disposal. That enhances their ability to obtain top engineering talent as well as sales representatives with strong industry ties. Plus, their greater market clout could effectively overwhelm our promotional and marketing efforts.

Although, we believe that our products and services will compete favorably, we cannot ensure that they will be profitable nor that we can maintain a competitive position against potential competitors. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins, loss of market share and loss of licensees, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We cannot ensure that our current or future competitors will not develop products which may be superior to ours or which may prove to be more popular. It is possible that new competitors will emerge and rapidly acquire market share. We cannot ensure that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures will not materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. We also cannot ensure that manufacturers, even in the absence of competition, will decide to change their products and opt to license and incorporate our technologies.

EQUIPMENT
 
As a Company that intends to commercialize or license our proprietary technology for others to install, manufacture and/or distribute; our equipment needs are project-specific and temporary.  We do not intend to purchase any equipment to implement our business operations, but instead we will rent, lease or outsource as needed.

MANUFACTURING

No manufacturing will be done in-house. For our thermal technologies, the Company will rely on product development agreements with existing manufacturers who will then pay a license or royalty per unit. For plug-in, hybrid conversions, the Company will rely on off-the-shelf and made-to-order equipment combined with proprietary software created specifically for use on our parallel platform.  To that end, the Company has already sourced and priced electric motors, generators and other components as well as software programming.  Installations will be performed by our licensees for ELA but the Company plans to outsource manufacture of its on-board mobile auxiliary power kit  while retaining control of both marketing and licensing.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our success depends, at least in part, on our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on a combination of patents, patent applications, trade secrets, copyright laws, trademarks, intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology. 

 
11

 
Our research and development is supported by a broad intellectual property portfolio. We currently own 5 patents and have 12 patent applications pending or in the process thereof in the field of composite heat structures, motors, and related structures.  The Company has a policy of not disclosing its patent applications in order to ensure protection of the underlying technology. 
 
Our success will likely depend upon our ability to preserve our proprietary technologies and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of other parties. However, we may rely on certain proprietary technologies and know-how that are not patentable. We protect such proprietary information, in part, by the use of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and certain of our contractors.

GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY REGULATIONS

The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act is a federal law that protects consumers by not allowing a vehicle manufacturer to void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless, the manufacturer can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle.  

The Company intends to add an electric load assist on a parallel platform to motor vehicles.  No original vehicle parts will be significantly modified in the conversion process.  There will be some additional parts (motor, drive, battery and sensors and controls) added, but these parts will not change how the vehicle operates in any way.

Although we will be adding power directly to the rear wheels, the rest of the drive train will operate according to the manufacturer’s specifications.  Therefore, the original warranty should remain in effect.

All our other components (motor, drive, batteries, controller/sensors) will be warranted by their respective manufacturers.

In addition, the total weight of the additional components added should remain within the vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.  As a result, the conversion should not run afoul of either federal or state transportation regulations. 

 
12

 
Any change to the original configuration of an EPA certified vehicle, including alternative fuel conversion, is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act prohibition against tampering. The EPA has established protocols through which we may seek exemption from the tampering prohibition by demonstrating that emission controls in the converted vehicle will continue to function properly and that pollution will not increase as a result of conversion. The Company intends to demonstrate that its converted vehicles satisfy EPA emissions requirements.

We also intend to comply with state emission regulations. For instance, California’s regulations require that retrofit systems be evaluated and certified by the Air Resources Board.

Our auxiliary mobile power system, stand-alone version, will add a specialized gearing package to the drive train which will then connect to a generator that will be added on-board. We believe that the vehicle and drive train will operate normally in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and that no regulations will be violated or exceeded.

EMPLOYEES

As of March 29, 2013 , we currently have one full time employee. We have independent contractors functioning as officers and working on our initial conversion. As funding is received and products or additional services are initiated, employees will be hired on an as-needed basis. We do not currently have any written agreements with our employee, although we do have consulting agreements with some of our consultants.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During fiscal 2011 and 2012, we incurred research and development costs of $114,355 and $242,717, respectively. Such costs will not be borne directly by customers.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND THE INDUSTRY IN WHICH WE OPERATE
 
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in our Company. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results and the trading price or value of our securities could be materially adversely affected, the value of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
  
The following are what we believe are the most material risks involved:
 
Our limited operating history and recent change in business direction makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult, and may increase the risk of your investment.
 
We have a very limited operating history on which investors can base an evaluation of our business, operating results and prospects.  Of even greater significance is that fact that we have no operating history with respect to converting internal combustion motor vehicles into plug-in hybrid electric vehicles by utilizing electric load assist on a parallel platform.

 
13

 
While the basic technology has been verified, we only recently have begun the final commercialization of the complete HPEV system in preparation for our initial conversion of a vehicle. This limits our ability to accurately forecast the cost of the conversions or to determine a precise date on which the commercial platform for vehicle conversions will be widely released.

We are currently evaluating, qualifying and selecting our suppliers for the hybrid conversion system. However, we may not be able to engage suppliers for the remaining components in a timely manner, at an acceptable price or in the necessary quantities. In addition, we may also need to do extensive testing to ensure that the conversions are in compliance with applicable National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety regulations and United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations prior to full distribution to our licensees.  Our plan to complete the initial commercialization of the hybrid conversion system is dependent upon the timely availability of funds, upon our finalizing the engineering, component procurement, build out and testing in a timely manner. Any significant delays would materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Equally, we have no operating history with respect to commercializing our heat pipe technology by incorporating it in brake components nor licensing it to motor and generator manufacturers.

Consequently, it is difficult to predict our future revenues and appropriately budget for our expenses, and we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust our estimates in future periods, our operating results and financial position could be materially affected.  If the markets for hybrid electric conversions and/or electric motors, generators and brake components enhanced with composite heat pipe technologies do not develop as we expect or develop more slowly than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed.

Our independent auditors have expressed their concern as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 , the Company has no stabilized source of revenues and needs additional cash resources to maintain its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital or obtain necessary debt. We cannot predict when, if ever, we will be successful in this venture and, accordingly, we may be required to cease operations at any time, if we do not have sufficient working capital to pay our operating costs for the next 12 months and we will require additional funds to pay our legal, accounting and other fees associated with our company and its filing obligations under federal securities laws, as well as to pay our other accounts payable generated in the ordinary course of our business.

The market for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle conversions is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing  technologies, evolving government regulation, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the conversions to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles include:

 
14

 
Decreases in the price of oil, gasoline and diesel fuel may slow the growth of our business and negatively impact our financial results.

Prices for oil, gasoline and diesel fuel can be very volatile. Increases in the price of fuels will likely raise interest in plug-in hybrid conversions. Decreases in the price of fuels will likely reduce interest in conversions and reduced interest could slow the growth of our business.

Our growth depends in part on environmental regulations and programs mandating the use of vehicles that get better gas mileage and generate fewer emissions. Modification or repeal of these regulations may adversely impact our business.

Enabling commercial customers to meet environmental regulations and programs in the United States that promote or mandate the use of vehicles that get better gas mileage and generate fewer emissions is an integral part of our business plan. For instance, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have adopted the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan, which outlines a Clean Trucks Program that calls for the replacement of 16,000 drayage trucks with trucks that meet certain clean truck standards.

Industry participants with a vested interest in gasoline and diesel invest significant time and money in efforts to influence environmental regulations in ways that delay or repeal requirements for cleaner vehicle emissions. For instance, the American Trucking Association has filed suit to challenge specific concession requirements in the Clean Trucks Program, either of which may delay the program’s implementation.

Furthermore, the economic recession may result in the delay, amendment or waiver of environmental regulations due to the perception that they impose increased costs on the transportation industry or the general public that cannot be absorbed in a shrinking economy. The delay, repeal or modification of federal or state regulations or programs that encourage the use of more efficient and/or cleaner vehicles could slow our growth and adversely affect our business.

If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.

We are entering a field which is characterized by extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments, our ability to operate profitably could suffer. We cannot assure you that research and discoveries by other companies will not render our technologies or potential products or services uneconomical or result in products superior to those we develop or that any technologies, products or services we develop will be preferred to any existing or newly-developed technologies, products or services.

Some aspects of our business will depend in part on the availability of federal, state and local rebates and tax credits for hybrid electric vehicles. A reduction in these incentives would increase the cost of conversions for our customers and could significantly reduce our revenue.

Hybrid conversions for the general public will depend in part on tax credits, rebates and similar federal, state and local government incentives that promote hybrid electric vehicles. We anticipate that fleet owners will be less reliant on incentives. As for other products we create, there should be no reliance at all.

 
15

 
Nonetheless, any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of federal, state and local government incentives and other economic subsidies or tax credits because of policy changes, the reduced need for such subsidies or incentives due to the perceived success of the hybrid conversions, fiscal tightening or other reasons could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We may experience significant delays in the design and implementation of our thermal technology into the motors and/or generators of the companies with which we have research and development agreements which could harm our business and prospects.

Any delay in the financing, design, and implementation of our thermal technology into the motor and/or generator lines of companies with which we have research and development agreements could materially damage our brand, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Motor manufacturers often experience delays in the design, manufacture and commercial release of new product lines.

If we are unable to adequately control the costs associated with operating our business, including our costs of sales and materials, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects will suffer.

If we are unable to maintain a sufficiently low level of costs for designing, marketing, selling and distributing our conversion system and thermal technologies relative to their selling prices, our operating results, gross margins, business and prospects could be materially and adversely impacted. We have made, and will be required to continue to make, significant investments for the design and sales of our system and technologies. There can be no assurances that our costs of producing and delivering our system and technologies will be less than the revenue we generate from sales, licenses and/or royalties or that we will achieve our expected gross margins.
 
We may be required to incur substantial marketing costs and expenses to promote our systems and technologies, even though our marketing expenses to date have been relatively limited. If we are unable to keep our operating costs aligned with the level of revenues we generate, our operating results, business and prospects will be harmed. Many of the factors that impact our operating costs are beyond our control. For example, the costs of our components could increase due to shortages as global demand for these products increases. Indeed, if the popularity of hybrid conversions exceeds current expectations without significant expansion in battery production capacity and advancements in battery technology, shortages could occur which would result in increased costs to us.
 
A small number of customers will account for a significant portion of our revenues from our motor/generator technology, and the loss of one or more of these customers or our inability to ultimately realize future revenue could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The electric motor and generator industry is a global industry. Annual sales reached approximately $90 billion in 2012 according to Hoovers, Inc, however,  the industry is highly concentrated. We believe a majority of  the global market share is attributed to 10 companies including Nidec Corporation, ABB Oy, Regal Beloit Corporation, WEG Electric Corporation, Siemens AG, Emerson,  Hyundai Corporation, TECO Westinghouse Motor Company and Schneider Electric.  We will derive a significant portion of our revenues from our motor/generator technology from a few companies which consist primarily of large, multi-national electric motor manufacturers. Our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if any one of these customers interrupts or curtails their activities, fail to license our technology or fail to pay for the services that have been performed.  The loss of any of our significant customers or our inability to sign licensing agreements or realize future contracted revenue could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 
16

 
We will be dependent on our suppliers, some of which are single or limited source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to continue to deliver, or their refusal to deliver, necessary components at prices and volumes acceptable to us would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operating results.

We are currently evaluating, qualifying and selecting the remaining suppliers for our conversion system.  We will source globally from a number of suppliers, some of whom may be single source suppliers for these components. While we obtain components from multiple sources whenever possible, it may not always be possible to avoid purchasing from a single source. To date, we have not qualified alternative sources for any of our single sourced components.
 
While we believe that we may be able to establish alternate supply relationships and can obtain or engineer replacements for our single source components, we may be unable to do so in the short term or at all at prices or costs that are favorable to us. In particular, while we believe that we will be able to secure alternate sources of supply for almost all of our single-sourced components in a relatively short time frame, qualifying alternate suppliers or developing our own replacements for certain highly customized components may be time consuming and costly.
 
The supply chain will expose us to potential sources of delivery failure or component shortages. If we experience significant increased demand, or need to replace our existing suppliers, there can be no assurance that additional supplies of component parts will be available when required on terms that are favorable to us, at all, or that any supplier would allocate sufficient supplies to us in order to meet our requirements or fill our orders in a timely manner. The loss of any single or limited source supplier or the disruption in the supply of components from these suppliers could lead to delays to our customers, which could hurt our relationships with our customers and also materially adversely affect our business, prospects and operating results.
 
Changes in our supply chain may result in increased cost and delay. A failure by our suppliers to provide the necessary components could prevent us from fulfilling customer orders in a timely fashion which could result in negative publicity, damage our brand and have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
 
The use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles or incorporation of our heat pipe technology in vehicle components or electric motors and generators may not become sufficiently accepted for us to expand our business.

To expand our conversion business, we must license new fleet, dealer and service center customers. To expand our heat pipe technology business, we must license vehicle parts and electric motor manufacturers. In either case, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to develop these customers or that they will sign our license contracts. Whether we will be able to expand our customer base will depend on a number of factors, including: the level of acceptance of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles by fleet owners and the general public or the desire by vehicle parts or electric motor manufacturers to enhance their products with our heat pipe technology.

If there are advances in other alternative vehicle fuels or technologies, or if there are improvements in gasoline or diesel engines or even if there are improvements in heat reduction or heat transfer technology, demand for hybrid electric conversions and/or our other products may decline and our business may suffer.

 
17

 
Technological advances in the production, delivery and use of alternative fuels that are, or are perceived to be, cleaner, more cost-effective than our traditional fuel/electric combination have the potential to slow adoption of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.  Hydrogen, compressed natural gas and other alternative fuels in experimental or developmental stages may eventually offer a cleaner, more cost-effective alternative to our gasoline or diesel and electric combination.  Equally, any significant improvements in the fuel economy or efficiency of the internal combustion engine may slow conversions to plug-in hybrid vehicles and, consequently, would have a detrimental effect on our business and operations.

While we are not aware of any pending innovations in or introductions of new heat reduction or heat transfer technologies, that doesn’t mean none are in the offing.  We have no control of what our competitors are doing nor awareness of their plans until such information is released for general consumption.  The introduction of any new technology that offers better or equivalent results at a lower price would have a detrimental effect on our business and operations.

Our research and commercialization efforts may not be sufficient to adapt to changes in electric vehicle technology.

As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our conversion system in order to continue to provide vehicles with the latest technology, in particular battery technology. However, our conversions may not compete effectively with alternative vehicles if we are not able to source and integrate the latest technology into our conversion system. For example, we do not manufacture battery cells and that makes us dependent upon other suppliers of battery cell technology for our battery packs.

Any failure to keep up with advances in electric or internal combustion vehicle technology would result in a decline in our competitive position which would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

The cyclical nature of business cycles can adversely affect our business.

Our business is directly related to general economic conditions which can be cyclical.  It also depends on other factors, such as corporate and consumer confidence and preferences.  A significant increase in global sales of electric or hybrid vehicles could have a direct impact on our earnings and cash flows by lowering the need to convert existing vehicles to plug-in hybrids. Equally, a significant decrease in the global sales of electric motors and generators could have a direct impact on our earnings and cash flows. The realization of either situation would also have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

A prolonged economic downturn or economic uncertainty could adversely affect our business and cause us to require additional sources of financing, which may not be available.

Our sensitivity to economic cycles and any related fluctuation in the businesses of our fleet customers, electric motor manufacturers or income of the general public may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. If global economic conditions deteriorate or economic uncertainty increases, our customers and potential customers may experience lowered incomes or deterioration of their businesses, which may result in the delay or cancellation of plans to convert their vehicles, reduced license sales or reduced royalties from sales by licensees.  As a consequence, our cash flow could be adversely impacted.

 
18

 
Any changes in business credit availability or cost of borrowing could adversely affect our business.

Declines in the availability of business credit and increases in corporate borrowing costs could negatively impact the number of conversions performed and the number of electric motors and generators manufactured. Substantial declines in the number of conversions by our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, the disruption in the capital markets that began in 2008 has reduced the availability of debt financing to support the conversion of existing vehicles into plug-in hybrids. If our potential customers are unable to access credit to convert their vehicles, it would impair our ability to grow our business.

Our future business depends in large part on our ability to execute our plans to market and license our conversion system and our thermal technology.

Failure to obtain reliable sources of component supply, that will enable us to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards, as well as the production volumes required to successfully mass market our conversion system or failure to translate the benefits of our thermal technology from testing and one-off applications into mass market production could negatively affect our Company’s revenues and business operations.

Even if we are successful in developing a high volume conversion platform and reliable sources of component supply, we do not know whether we will be able to do so in a manner that avoids significant delays and cost overruns, including factors beyond our control such as problems with suppliers and vendors, or shipping schedules that meet our customers’ conversion requirements. Any failure to develop such capabilities within our projected costs and timelines could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

Adverse developments affecting one or more of our suppliers could harm our profitability.

Any significant disruption in our supplier relationships, particularly relationships with sole-source suppliers, could harm our profitability. Furthermore, some of our suppliers may not be able to handle any commodity cost volatility and/or sharply changing volumes while still performing as we expect. To the extent our suppliers experience supply disruptions which may continue to occur in the aftermath of the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan, there is a risk for delivery delays, production delays, production issues or delivery of non-conforming products by our suppliers. Even where these risks do not materialize, we may incur costs as we try to make contingency plans for such risks.

Increases in costs of the materials and other supplies that we use in our products may have a negative impact on our business.

Significant changes in the markets where we purchase components and supplies for the hybrid conversions may adversely affect our profitability, particularly in the event of significant increases in demand where there is not a corresponding increase in supply, inflation or other pricing increases.  Volatility may have adverse effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 
19

 
If we lose our key management personnel, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our objectives.

Our future success depends in large part upon the leadership and performance of our executive management team and key consultants. If we lose the services of one or more of our executive officers or key consultants, or if one or more of them decides to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with us, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our business objectives. If we lose the services of any of our key consultants, we may not be able to replace them with similarly qualified personnel, which could harm our business.

We may incur material losses and costs as a result of warranty claims and product liability actions that may be brought against us.

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability in the event that our hybrid conversions or other products fail to perform as expected and, in the case of product liability, failure of our products results in bodily injury and/or property damage.

Our customers have expectations of proper performance and reliability of our hybrid conversions and any other products that we may supply. If flaws in the design of our products were to occur, we could experience a rate of failure in our hybrid conversions or other products that could result in significant charges for product re-work or replacement costs. Although we will engage in extensive quality programs and processes, these may not be sufficient to avoid conversion or product failures, which could cause us to:
 
 
 
lose net revenue;
 
 
incur increased costs such as costs associated with customer support;
 
 
experience delays, cancellations or rescheduling of conversions or orders for our products;
 
 
experience increased product returns or discounts; or
 
 
damage our reputation;
 
all of which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

If any of our hybrid conversions or other products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall involving such conversions or products. A recall claim brought against us, or a product liability claim brought against us in excess of our available insurance, may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Depending on the terms under which we supply products to a vehicle component or engine manufacturer, a manufacturer may attempt to hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement costs of defective products under their warranties when the manufacturer asserts that the product supplied did not perform as warranted. Although we cannot assure that the future costs of warranty claims by our customers will not be material, we believe our planned insurance coverage should be adequate to satisfy potential warranty settlements.  However, the final amounts determined to be due related to these matters could differ materially from our recorded estimates.

 
20

 
Developments or assertions by us or against us relating to intellectual property rights could materially impact our business.

We own significant intellectual property, including a large number of patents, and intend to be involved in numerous licensing arrangements. Our intellectual property should play an important role in maintaining our competitive position in a number of the markets we intend to serve.

We will attempt to protect proprietary and intellectual property rights to our products and conversion system through available patent laws and licensing and distribution arrangements with reputable domestic and international companies.  Despite these precautions, patent laws afford only limited practical protection in certain countries.

Litigation may also be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources.

As we create or adopt new technology, we will also face an inherent risk of exposure to the claims of others that we have allegedly violated their intellectual property rights.

We are unaware of any infringement upon our proprietary rights and have not been notified by any third party that we are infringing upon anyone else’s proprietary rights; however we cannot assure that we will not experience any intellectual property claim losses in the future or that we will not incur significant costs to defend such claims nor can we assure that infringement or invalidity claims will not materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Regardless of the validity or the success of the assertion of these claims, we could incur significant costs and diversion of resources in enforcing our intellectual property rights or in defending against such claims, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Any such imposition of a liability that is not covered by insurance, is in excess of insurance coverage or is not covered by an indemnification could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Liability or alleged liability could harm our business by damaging our reputation, requiring us to incur expensive legal costs in defense, exposing us to awards of damages and costs and diverting management’s attention away from our business operations. Any such liability could severely impact our business operations and/or revenues.

If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may seek to settle such claim by obtaining a license from the plaintiff covering the disputed intellectual property rights.

We cannot provide any assurances, however, that under such circumstances a license, or any other form of settlement, would be available on reasonable terms or at all.

We may incur material losses, additional costs or even interruption of business operations as a result of fines or sanctions brought by government regulators.

 
21

 
We will likely be subject to various U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. environmental, transportation and safety laws and regulations, such as requirements for aftermarket fuel conversion certification by the Environmental Protection Agency or separate requirements for aftermarket fuel conversion certification by California and other states.

We cannot assure you that we will be at all times in complete compliance with such laws, regulations and permits. If we violate or fail to comply with these laws, regulations or certifications, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators.

We face risks related to compliance with corporate governance laws and financial reporting standards.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related new rules and regulations implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, require changes in the corporate governance practices and financial reporting standards for public companies. These new laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to internal control over financial reporting, referred to as Section 404, have materially increased our legal and financial compliance costs and made some activities more time-consuming and more burdensome.
 
We may face risks from doing business internationally.

We may license, sell or distribute products outside the United States, and derive revenues from these sources. Consequently, our revenues and results of operations will be vulnerable to currency fluctuations. We will report our revenues and results of operations in United States dollars, but a significant portion of our revenues could be earned outside of the United States.  We cannot accurately predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on revenues and operating margins. Such fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business will also be subject to other risks inherent in the international marketplace, many of which are beyond our control. These risks include:
 
 
• laws and policies affecting trade, investment and taxes, including laws and policies relating to the repatriation of funds and withholding taxes, and changes in these laws;
• changes in local regulatory requirements, including restrictions on conversions;
• differing cultural tastes and attitudes;
• differing degrees of protection for intellectual property;
• financial instability;
• the instability of foreign economies and governments;
• war and acts of terrorism.

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK
 
If a market develops for our shares, sales of our shares relying upon Rule 144 may depress prices in that market by a material amount.

Of the 44,085,441 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding on March 29, 2013, according to our transfer agent, 33,832,341 shares held by present stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement, or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. On November 15, 2007, the SEC adopted changes to Rule 144, which, would shorten the holding period for sales by non-affiliates to six months (subject to extension under certain circumstances) and remove the volume limitations for such persons.   The changes became effective in February 2008. Rule 144 provides in essence that an affiliate who has held restricted securities for a prescribed period may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of a company's outstanding common stock. The alternative average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale is not available to our shareholders being that the OTCQB is not an "automated quotation system" and, accordingly, market based volume limitations are not available for securities quoted only over the OTCQB. As a result of the revisions to Rule 144 discussed above, there is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for at least 90 consecutive days) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for a period of six months, if we have filed our required reports.  A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our common stock in any market that may develop.

The issuance of shares upon conversion of the preferred shares and exercise of outstanding warrants will cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.

The issuance of shares upon conversion of preferred shares and exercise of warrants, will result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling security holders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion.

Selling low-priced penny stock is involved and uncertain.

For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the  Securities and Exchange Commission.  Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares purchased in the public markets.

There is limited liquidity in our shares
 
The market prices of our shares may fluctuate significantly in response to factors, some of which are beyond our control.  These factors include:

·  
The announcement of new products by our competitors
·  
The release of new products by our competitors
·  
Developments in our industry or target markets
·  
General market conditions including factors unrelated to our operating performance
 
Recently, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme market volatility in the price of our shares of common stock which could cause a decline in the value of our shares. Price volatility may be worse if our trading volume of our common stock is low.

There is a very limited trading market for our securities

There is currently only a limited trading market for our common stock. Consequently, you may have difficulty selling any shares you purchased.

We cannot predict the extent investor interest will lead to development of an active trading market or how liquid that trading market might become. If an active trading market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors to sell shares of our common stock at a price that is attractive or at all.  In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares of common stock without considerable delay, if at all.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY,  RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

COMMON STOCK

Our common stock is not quoted on any exchange.  Our common stock was previously quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). On March 26, 2010, it was removed from the OTCBB due to lack of a quotation by a market maker. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol WARM. Our common stock did not trade prior to September 2010. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a Company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.

OTCQB securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTCQB securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks.

For the periods indicated, the following table sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of our common stock. The following quotations reflect the high and low bids based on inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

OVERVIEW

Corporate

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2002 under the name “Bibb Corporation”. On September 3, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “Z3 Enterprises, Inc.” and then again amended its Articles of Incorporation, on April 5, 2012, to change its name to “HPEV, Inc.”

The Company began its development stage in July 2002. Since inception, we focused primarily on research and development activities, organizing our company, finding and negotiating with vendors, raising capital and laying the groundwork to take the company public.

On March 29, 2011, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement to acquire 100 shares, constituting all of the issued and outstanding shares of HPEV Inc. in consideration for the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of common stock.  Upon closing of the Share Exchange on April 15, 2011, HPEV became our wholly owned subsidiary.

Control of our Company changed on April 15, 2011 with the issuance of 21,880,000 shares of common stock to the original shareholders of HPEV pursuant to the terms of the  amended Share Exchange Agreement. An additional 120,000 shares were issued during the fourth quarter of 2011 which completed the issuance of 22,000,000 shares to HPEV, Inc. under the terms of the as amended Share Exchange Agreement. 

For accounting purposes, the acquisition of HPEV, Inc by Z3 Enterprises, Inc. has been recorded as a reverse acquisition of a public company and recapitalization of Z3 Enterprises, Inc. based on factors demonstrating that HPEV represents the accounting acquirer.

We changed our business direction and now plan to commercialize our patents.

On April 5, 2012, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized common stock from 95,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares and our authorized preferred stock from 10,000,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares; and authorized our board of directors to divide or change the powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations and rights of the preferred shares.

Going Concern

As a result of our financial condition, we have received a report from our independent registered public accounting firm for our financial statements for the period from March 24, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2012 that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  In order to continue as a going concern, we must effectively balance many factors and begin to generate revenue, so that we can fund our operations from our sales and revenues.  If we are not able to do this, we may not be able to continue as an operating company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012 compared to December 31 2011

Revenues

As the Company was in the process of commercializing its technologies, we had no revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
 
Expenses

Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 were $52,311 as compared to operating expenses of $5,124,215 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Our operating expenses in fiscal 2012 have consisted primarily of professional fees, payments to consultants and research and development. The Company incurred $1,902,392 of equity compensation to consultants, the reversal of $2,650,000 of director compensation to Judson Bibb which was paid from shares contributed by PPEG.
 
In fiscal 2011, operating expenses consisted primarily of professional fees, payments to consultants and research and development as well. The Company incurred $1,604,580 of equity compensation to consultants, $2,650,000 of director compensation to Judson Bibb which were paid from shares contributed by PPEG, $100,000 in loss on an investment deposit and a loss on intellectual property deposit of $75,000.
 
Net Loss
 
In fiscal 2012, the Company incurred net losses of $623,609 whereas in fiscal 2011 , the Company incurred net losses of  $5,124,215.

INCOME TAXES

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $483,525. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically met its liquidity and capital requirements primarily through the private placement of equity securities and loans.
 
On September 7, 2010, the Company entered into a loan agreement with PPEG for an interest-free loan up to $1,000,000 (the “PPEG Loan Agreement”). The Company borrowed an aggregate of $911,894 under the PPEG Loan Agreement which was used for the Company’s operations, potential acquisitions, acquisition of intellectual property rights and HPEV, Inc. As of December 21, 2012, $911,894.00   outstanding under the PPEG Loan Agreement was forgiven pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement. PPEG agreed to forgive all outstanding debt and accrued interest under the loan in exchange for approximately 79% (representing its pro rata interest) of $400,000 to be paid in monthly increments if the Company’s revenues reach $1 million.
 
On March 3, 2012, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Action Media Group, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Action Media”) for $500,000 but under which it only borrowed $250,000. The terms of the loan included a 3% annual interest and payment of principal and interest to begin upon a mutual agreed upon date in the future.  Maturity of the loan was perpetual or upon mutual agreement of both parties or if conditions are breached or in default. In connection with the Debt Settlement Agreement, entered into on December 21, 2012, Action Media agreed to forgive all outstanding debt and accrued interest under the loan in exchange for  approximately 21% (representing its pro rata interest) of $400,000 to be paid in monthly increments if the Company’s revenues reach $1 million.

On August 8, 2012, Spirit Bear provided us a $186,222 bridge loan which matured in 180 days (which was subsequently extended on October 26, 2012 to November 30, 2012). In consideration therefore, we agreed to issue Spirit Bear warrants to purchase up to 1,484,598 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.

On December 14, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Spirit Bear pursuant to which it sold to Spirit Bear (i) 200 shares of  the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0 .35 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the warrant); 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0 .50 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the warrant); and 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise of $ 0 .75 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the warrant). The aggregate purchase price for sale of the Preferred Stock and warrants was $500,000, of which $313,778 was paid in cash and $186,222 was paid by cancelation of $186,222 in outstanding indebtedness held by Spirit Bear.  The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.

Each share of the Preferred stock is convertible into 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2,500 per share .

The holders of each share of Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid prior and in preference to any payment or distribution of any available funds and assets on any shares of common stock, an amount per share equal to the Liquidation Price ($2,500 per share of the Preferred Stock) of the Preferred Stock.
 
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may sell Spirit Bear up to 200 additional shares of Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company has the option to require Spirit Bear to purchase up to an additional 200 preferred shares and associated warrants in the event of written certification from  a  federally licensed testing facility reasonably acceptable to Spirit Bear, evidencing that four motors incorporating the Company’s technology have been comprehensively tested in accordance with applicable NEMA, ANSI and IEEE standards and that the results of these tests meet or exceed the minimum requirements for certification under those standards and that such four motors incorporating the Company’s technology have passed tests with respect to (i) IEEE 112 in Methods E, E1, F or F1 with a maximum horsepower of 4,000 for F or F1, (ii) sound pressure testing to IEEE 85 and NEMA MG1 20 standards, (iii) bearing temperature testing, (iv) speed versus torque/current testing, (v) polarization index testing per IEEE 45 standards, and (vi) IEEE 112 Method B for full efficiency; and that testing evidences an improvement in power density of at least 12.% compared to the same motor not incorporating the Company’s technology.
 
 
30

 
In the event the Company has not received the certification notice within 180 calendar days after December 14, 2012, Spirit Bear has a twelve month option to purchase the additional 200 preferred shares and associated warrants.
 
On December 11, 2012, pursuant to a debt settlement agreement by and among the Company, PPEG, Action Media (PPEG and Action Media collectively, the “Debt Holders”) and Spirit Bear, the Debt Holders agreed to forgive debt of $1,161,894 and accrued interest owed to them by the Company (the “Debt”) and release the Company of (i) any future liability or claim related to the Debt, (ii) any future liability or claim related to shares of any class of equity in the Company, and (iii) any obligation or liability of the Company.

Pursuant to the Debt Settlement agreement, the Debt Holders deposited 4,676,000 shares of common stock in escrow. Upon the filing of a registration statement with the SEC, on January 11, 2013, 3, 676,000 shares were cancelled and returned to treasury. The remaining 1,000,000 shares will be purchased by the Company or a nominee of the Company at $0.40 per share at the rate of $10,000 per month commencing within 90 days after HPEV achieves $1,000,000 in gross revenues for products or services from business operations.
 
On April 12, 2013, the Company and Spirit Bear Limited reached agreement regarding the settlement of allegations that the Company did not perform certain obligations pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 14, 2012 with Spirit Bear, and with respect to certain actions taken by the Company with respect to providing compensation to its management. Spirit Claim claimed, among others, that such actions triggered the anti-dilution protection provided to Spirit Bear in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Spirit Bear agreed to discharge the Company from all claims Spirit Bear may have had as well as to forgo all actions of any kind related to those claims which existed on or prior to April 12, 2013. Both parties also agreed that the signing of the agreement did not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or liability.
 
To satisfy the allegations, the Company and Spirit Bear agreed to amend the Certificate of Designation to provide that each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted into 50,000 shares of common stock and have the voting rights equal to 50,000 shares. Previously, each share of preferred stock was convertible into 20,000 shares of common stock and had the voting rights equal to 20,000 shares.
 
The Company and Spirit Bear also agreed to change the terms of the option provided to Spirit Bear in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The new language provides that the Company can sell up to 200 additional preferred shares and warrants to Spirit Bear, or other qualified investors designated by Spirit Bear,  if before December 14, 2013, the Company’s technology is incorporated in (i) three motors or alternators or (ii) two motors and one auxiliary mobile power system, and the same are comprehensively tested in accordance with applicable standards and the results of those tests meet or exceed minimum requirements for certification under those standards. If the milestones are not met prior to such date, Spirit Bear retains its right to purchase 200 additional preferred shares and warrants until December 14, 2014.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash of approximately $194,721 .
 
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital of $304,705.  Cash outflow from operating activities was $670,622.   Net loss was adjusted by   director’s stock compensation that was returned of $2,650,000, amortization of prepaid stock issued for services of $1,627,910, a gain on settlement of debt of $256,021, warrants issued for finance cost and interest penalties associated with the Spirit Bear loan and financing arrangement with Crone Law totaling $1,029,193. Cash outflow from investing activities were $29,018 consisting of direct legal fees incurred for patents assigned to HPEV.  Cash inflow from financing activities of $816,000 consisted of $500,000 from the sale of preferred stock, $5,000 from the sale of common stock, $439,722 in loans from Action Media and Spirit Bear and $62,200 in proceeds from related parties and $189,722 repayment of Spirit Bear loan and $1,200 repayment of related party notes.
 
We have an accumulated deficit since inception of $5,747,824   and our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern unless we are able to generate revenues.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the applicable period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
We define critical accounting policies as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and which may potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. In applying these critical accounting policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in making certain estimates. These estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company (HPEV,Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiary , HPEV, Inc., a corporation incorporated in Delaware on March 24, 2011.
 
 
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Year end – The Company’s year end is December 31.
 
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Income taxes  – The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Management believes the Company will have a net operating loss carryover to be used for future years.  Such losses may not be fully deductible due to the significant amounts of non-cash service costs as well as restrictions on carryovers resulting from reverse mergers .   The Company has established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the applicable operating loss carryovers.
 
Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs.  Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.
 
 
33

 
Net loss per common share – The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with the Earning per Share Topic of the FASB ASC 260.  Under the provisions of ASC, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.  For the period from March 24, 2011 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2012, one option (issued October 30, 2011 for 200,000 common shares at a purchase price of $0.55 per share) and 8,091,435 warrants were outstanding. Additionally, we have 200 preferred shares outstanding of which can be converted into 50,000 shares of common stock for a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock if converted.

Stock Based Compensation – Stock based compensation is accounted for using the Equity-Based Payments to Employees Topic of the FASB ASC 718, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Company determines the value of stock issued at the date of grant. The Company also determines at the date of grant the value of stock at fair market value or the value of services rendered (based on contract or otherwise) whichever is more readily determinable.
 
Stock based compensation for non-employees is accounted for using the Stock Based Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC 505. The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and will use the Black Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options, if issued. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of when performance commitment is established or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.
 
Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and accounts payable approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items. The Company does not hold any investments that are available-for-sale.
 
Concentration of risk – A significant amount of HPEV’s assets and resources were dependent on the financial support of Phoenix Productions and Entertainment Group.  The Company has successfully pursued other avenues of financial support.

Revenue recognition  –Revenues are recognized in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following criteria are met: 1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, 2) delivery of goods has occurred, 3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and 4) collection is reasonably assured.

Advertising costs  –The Company recorded no advertising and promotion costs from inception (March 24, 2011) to December 31, 2012.

Research and development – Costs of research and development are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Legal Procedures  – The Company is not aware of, nor is it involved in any pending legal proceedings.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
We continue to assess the effects of recently issued accounting standards. The impact of all recently adopted and issued accounting standards has been disclosed in the Footnotes to the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
HPEV, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HPEV,Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the period from inception (March 24, 2011) through December 31, 2011 and for the period from inception (March 24, 2011) through December 31, 2012. HPEV, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements.  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 audit 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 audit 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HPEV, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the period from inception (March 24, 2011) through December 31, 2011 and for the period from inception (March 24, 2011) through December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated 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 has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012

 
1 .   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY
 
Description of business and history  –   HPEV, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly known as Bibb Corporation and Z3 Enterprises) (hereinafter referred to as “HPEV” or “The Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2002. The Company’s principal operations were to produce fully integrated multi-media products targeting the marginally literate. The Company changed its focus to educational entertainment and reality show programming; feature films and special event marketing upon entering into a Joint Venture Agreement (the ”Joint Venture Agreement”) with Phoenix Productions and Entertainment Group (PPEG) in September 2010.

From September 2010 through March 2011, Z3E pursued business opportunities, but agreements were never fulfilled and the entertainment projects have been terminated.

On March 24, 2011, Z3 Enterprises entered into a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire 100 shares, constituting all of the issued and outstanding shares of HPEV Inc. (“HPEV”) in consideration for the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of Z3E common stock.   Upon closing of the Share Exchange on April 15, 2011, HPEV became a wholly owned subsidiary of Z3.

The  terms of the Share Exchange Agreement  required the current board of directors of Z3E (the “Board”) to designate Quentin Ponder and Timothy Hassett as directors of Z3E, as well as two other directors to be named later by HPEV.

On April 5, 2012, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Z3 Enterprises, Inc. to HPEV, Inc. On the same date, the board appointed Timothy Hassett as Chief Executive Officer, Quentin Ponder as Chief Financial Officer (he remains Treasurer), Theodore Banzhaf as President and Judson Bibb as Vice President (he remains Secretary).

On April 6, 2012, the Board of Directors amended the bylaws.  Specifically, they voted to increase the number of directors, to enable the filling of vacancies on the board of directors by majority vote of the remaining directors or director and to appoint Timothy Hassett and Quentin Ponder to serve as Chairman of the Board and Vice Chairman, respectively.

Control of Z3E changed hands on April 15, 2011 with the issuance of 21,880,000 shares of Z3E common stock to the original shareholders of HPEV pursuant to the terms of the as amended Share Exchange Agreement. An additional 120,000 shares were issued on December 14, 2011 which completed the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of Z3E common stock to HPEV, Inc. under the terms of the as amended Share Exchange Agreement. 
 
 
41

 
For accounting purposes, the acquisition of HPEV, Inc by Z3 Enterprises, Inc. has been recorded as a reverse acquisition of a public company and recapitalization of Z3 Enterprises, Inc. based on factors demonstrating that HPEV represents the accounting acquirer.
 
HPEV was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 25, 2011 to commercialize the technology from patents developed by two of its shareholders. Activities during its start-up stage were nominal. 

Subsequent to the closing of the Share Exchange, Z3E changed its business focus to attempting to commercialize the HPEV technologies in a variety of markets by licensing its heat pipe technologies to electric motor, generator and vehicle component manufacturers. The Company also plans to license its hybrid conversion system to fleet owners and service centers.

Effective April 23, 2012, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved  the Company’s name change and the symbol change from BIBB to WARM.

On May 5, 2011, a total of 7 patents (1 granted, 6 pending) were assigned to HPEV by Thermal Motors Innovations, LLC, a company controlled by the developers of the patents .   Since then, additional patents have been awarded and filed. Therefore, as of March 29, 2013 , our subsidiary, HPEV, owns the rights to five  patents, and twelve  patent-applications pending with two remaining to be assigned.

The patents and patents-pending owned by HPEV cover composite heat pipes and their applications as well as an electric load assist. The utilization of composite heat pipes should increase the horsepower of electric motors and enhance the lifespan and effectiveness of heat-producing vehicle components. The parallel vehicle platform enables vehicles to alternate between two sources of power.

The Company intends to license heat pipe technology to manufacturers of electric motors and generators as well as vehicle parts such as brakes, resistors and calipers. It also plans to commercialize the patents by implementing and licensing a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle conversion system based on the parallel vehicle platform.

The Company is currently sourcing or commissioning the components to perform its initial conversion.  The conversion, if successful, will be used to showcase the effectiveness of the technology, generate data and function as a marketing tool to generate orders. The target markets include commercial and fleet vehicles ranging from heavy duty pick-ups to tractor-trailer trucks and buses.

To facilitate the incorporation of the Company’s heat pipe technology in industrial electric motors and generators, the Company has signed product development agreements with two multi-national manufacturers.

To prove the effectiveness of heat pipe technology under extreme conditions, the Company has signed agreements with racing teams to test its technology in high performance vehicle components.

As operations have consisted of general administrative and pre-production activities, HPEV, Inc. is considered a development stage company in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915.

On December 9, 2011, Z3E and PPEG mutually agreed to dissolve their Joint Venture Agreement. The reason was due to a change in business direction by Z3 as a result of its acquisition of HPEV, Inc.  The Joint Venture Agreement did not provide for any termination penalties.

Going concern  – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Since the reverse merger of HPEV, Inc. and Z3 Enterprises, Inc. on April 15, 2011,   cash outlays have been $1,146,551 from operating activities and $73,582 from investing activities which have been financed primarily through loans and stock sales .   The net book loss is approximately $5,747,824 during the period from March 24, 2011 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2012. The Company has not fully commenced its operations and is still in the development stages, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.   The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing from shareholders or other sources to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.   At this time,   the Company is seeking additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt, equity, or joint venture agreements, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.
 
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
 
It is possible management may decide that the Company cannot continue with its business operations as outlined in the current business plan because of a lack of financial resources and may be forced to seek other potential business opportunities that may be available.
 
2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of HPEV, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
 
Accounting Method

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


 
43

 

Principles of Consolidation
 
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the subsidiary HPEV (A Delaware Corporation) and its parent HPEV (formerly known as Z3 Enterprises) (A Nevada Corporation). On April 20, 2012, the Company officially changed its name to HPEV, Inc. 

All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Year End

The Company’s year end is December 31.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and for the period from inception (March 24, 2011) to December 31, 2012, the Company did not report any revenues.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance regarding disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, approximate the carrying amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), superseded by ASC 820-10, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The impact of adopting ASC 820-10 was not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 
 
Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
 
 
Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
 
 
 
 
Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 
44

 
 
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.  The valuation of our fair value instruments is determined using Level 1 inputs, which consider (i) time value, (ii) current market and (iii) contractual prices. 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loan payable and notes payable – related party.  
 
Use of Estimates

The process of preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
 
Income Taxes 

The Company provides for federal and state income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled.  The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change.  A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Upon inception, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), superseded by ASC 740-10.  The Company did not recognize a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10.  A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit as of the date of adoption.  The Company did not recognize interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10.  If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other operating expenses.
 
 
45

 

Management believes the Company will have a net operating loss carryover to be used for future years.  Such losses may not be fully deductible due to the significant amounts of non-cash service costs as well as restrictions on carryovers resulting from reverse mergers .   The Company has established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the applicable operating loss carryovers.
 
Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs.  Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.
 
Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with the Earning per Share Topic of the FASB ASC 260.  Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.  For the period from March 24, 2011 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2012, one option (issued October 30, 2011 for 200,000 common shares at a purchase price of $0.55 per share) and 8,091,435   warrants were outstanding. Additionally, we have 200 preferred shares outstanding of which can be converted to 50,000 shares of common stock for total of 10,000,000 common shares if converted.

Employee Stock Based Compensation

The FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment , which was superseded by ASC 718-10.  ASC 718-10 provides investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information, by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements.  That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. ASC 718-10 covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not implemented an employee stock based compensation plan.

Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services , which was superseded by ASC 505-50.  The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.

Concentration of Risk

A significant amount of HPEV’s assets and resources have been dependent on the financial support of Phoenix Productions and Entertainment Group.  The Company has successfully negotiated outside investment and continues to seek additional funding. 

Intangible Assets
 
ASC 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350. This standard also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company believes there is no impairment of its intangible assets.
 
The Company's intangible assets consist of the costs of filing and acquiring various patents. The patents are recorded at cost. The Company determined that the patents have an estimated useful life of 10 years and will be reviewed annually for impairment. Amortization will be recorded over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company plans to commence amortization upon commencing operations.
 
Advertising Costs 

The Company recorded no advertising and promotion costs from inception (March 24, 2011) to December 31, 2012.

Research and Development

Costs of research and development are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Legal Procedures

The Company is not aware of, nor is it involved in any pending legal proceedings.

Recent accounting standards

The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through ASU 2013-05 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
As a consequence of the reverse merger, HPEV took over the obligations of Z3E consisting of accounts payable of $11,637 (non-related party) and a note payable balance of $313,687 due to Phoenix Productions and Entertainment Group, Inc., a significant shareholder of the Company’s common stock. The terms of the loan agreement do not require payment of interest and repayment of the loan is to begin 15 days after receipt of initial revenues related to projects funded by PPEG loans.  Maturity of the loan is perpetual or upon mutual agreement of both parties or if conditions are breached or default.
 
Subsequent to the reverse merger, Phoenix Productions and Entertainment Group, Inc. made loans to the Company of $598,207 leaving a balance due as of December 11, 2012 of $911,894. On that date, the  Company signed a debt settlement agreement and the loan was forgiven. (See Note 3).
 
During the period from inception (March 24, 2011) to December 31, 2012, Judson Bibb, Director, advanced $22,910 in interest free, unsecured, due on demand funds.  As of December 31, 2012, $22,910 remains due and payable.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Quentin Ponder, Director and Chief Financial Officer, loaned the Company a total of $1,630 in interest-free, unsecured, due-on-demand loans. As of December 31, 2012, $4,470 remains due and payable.

INCOME TAXES
 
We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for the period presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. Per authoritative guidance pursuant to accounting for income tax and uncertainty in income taxes, when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income, the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that as a development stage company, it is prudent to assume that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had $1,381,499 and $764,993, respectively in net loss carry forwards.
 
The components of the Company's deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Since Inception to

 Valuation allowance         (483,525 )     (267,748 )
                 
 Net deferred tax asset    $ --     $ --  
 
A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income
tax amount recorded is as follows:
 
 
   
Since Inception

Since Inception
December 31, 2011
 
 Tax at statutory rate (35%)   $ 215,777     $ 267,748  
 Increase in valuation allowance     (215,777     (267,748 )
                 
 Net deferred tax asset   $ --     $ --  
 
 
 
The Company had no gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. The Company has not accrued any additional interest or penalties. No tax benefit has been reported in connection with the net operating loss carry forwards in the consolidated financial statements as the Company believes that as a development stage company it is prudent to assume that it is likely that the net operating loss carry forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Net operating loss carryforwards start to expire in 2031.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examination by tax authorities on tax returns filed before January 31, 2006. The Company will file its U.S. federal return for the year ended December 31, 2012 upon the issuance of this filing. These U.S. federal returns are considered open tax years as of the date of these financial statements. No tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

As of March 28, 2013, HPEV Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary was assigned the rights to five patents and eight patents-pending with two remaining to be assigned.   The issued patents and the majority of the patents-pending relate to the utilization of heat pipes to remove heat from various types of electric motors, generators and a brake resistor. By removing heat in a more efficient manner, the heat pipes provide lower costs, improved performance benefits and longer product life.  Another patent-pending is an electric load assist that makes it possible for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to utilize power in any combination from the gas or diesel engine and an electric motor installed on-board.
 
The direct cost (since inception) for legal services related to the patents was $73,582. This amount was capitalized as an asset.

PREPAID EXPENSE
 
On May 11, 2011, 1,823,185 common shares valued at $0.75 per share were issued to Capital Group Communication, Inc. in exchange for investor relations services valued at $1,367,389. The services are for a 24 month term. As of December 31, 2012, the prepaid balance is $245,045.

As of December 31, 2012, the prepaid balance is $128,634

COMMON STOCK RECEIVABLE
 
On September 2, 2011, Z3E and Richard Glisky signed a Rescission Agreement (Agreement) to rescind an Agreement for the Acquisition of Harvest Hartwell CCP, LLC (HHCCP), a Michigan limited liability company. The Agreement for Acquisition was originally signed on September 30, 2010.

As called for in the Rescission Agreement, the Company assigned 100% of its interests in HHCCP to the previous owner, Richard Glisky. Richard Glisky, in turn, assigned 1,920,000 shares of Company common stock back to the Company which the Company’s intended to have cancelled.  On February 23, 2012, 1,920,000 shares of the Company common stock were returned to the Company and cancelled.  Consequently, the Company had an $8,000,000 stock receivable removed from its books

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement signed with Phoenix Productions and Entertainment Group, Action Media Group and Spirit Bear Limited signed on December 11, 2012, 3,676,000 shares of common stock that were being held in escrow were cancelled on January 14, 2012. That left 1,000,000 shares remaining in escrow and a total of 43,970.411 shares of common stock outstanding.
 
Pursuant to a debt settlement with the Crone Law Group, on February 13, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 25,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mark Crone, the owner of the law group, to satisfy an outstanding balance of $30,975.

Pusuant to a non-statutory stock option (the “Option”) to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.55 per share granted by the board  on October 30, 2011 to the Crone Law Group for services rendered and payments defrayed,  Mark Crone elected to convert the options by cashless exercise. Therefore, on February 13, 2013, the Board of Directors also approved the issuance of 90,000 shares of common stock to the Crone Law Group.
 
On February 6, 2013, the Company received a letter form Spirit Bear which stated that the Company was in default of the Stock Purchase Agreement. According to Spirit Bear, the Company had not acted promptly to make 50% of the board of directors Spirit Bear designees. In addition, Spirit Bear stated that the company had not amended its bylaws with respect to Special Meetings and Meeting Adjournments nor had it provided a certified copy of its Articles of Incorporation within 10 days of the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement with Spirit Bear Limited, ("Spirit Bear"), the bylaws relating to Special Meetings and Meeting Adjournments were amended verbatim with what was required in the agreement effective February 20, 2013. Jay Palmer and Carrie Dwyer were appointed to the board of directors on the same date and Donica Holt was appointed to the board of directors on March 7, 2013. Despite electing two new board members at the first board meeting subsequent to the date the SPA was closed, the Company received another letter from counsel to Spirit Bear on March 7, 2013 indicating that the Company was still in default of its obligations under the SPA and the compensation authorized by the Board on February 20, 2013 (as disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 26, 2013) was self-dealing and resulted in the anti-dilution provision provided for in the SPA.

Subsequently, the Company rescinded the change in the president’s milestone prices of his options and the cashless exercise thereof, the granting of options to its vice-president and the compensation levels established by the Board on February 20, 2013 (See below).
 
On February 20, 2013, the Board of Directors voted to decrease the milestone prices of the five options to purchase one million shares that would be granted to the President, Mr. Banzhaf, assuming the respective milestone prices are achieved. The milestone stock prices were reduced to $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $4.50 and $5.00 for 20 consecutive trading days each. These milestone stock prices have been changed from $2.00, $3.00, $5.00, $7.50 and $10.00. Once the stock has traded at or above these prices for 20 consecutive trading days, Mr. Banzhaf has the right to exercise an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at the closing price on the first day after the stock has traded for  20 consecutive days at or above each milestone stock price. These options expire one year after Mr. Banzhaf has been terminated without cause.
 
The board also granted Judson Bibb an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of par value or $0.001 per share. The options expire one year after Mr. Bibb has been terminated without cause. The options can be exercised on a cashless basis.
 
On March 21, 2013, the Company and Judson Bibb signed an agreement rescinding the options granted.
 
On March 24, 2013, the Company and Ted Banzhaf signed an agreement rescinding the   decrease in the milestone price of the five options to purchase one million shares as well as the cashless exercise thereof awarded to the President.
 
Over the past three months, Quentin Ponder has loaned the Company another $4,100. Therefore, as of March 28, 2013, a total of $15,300 in interest-free, unsecured, loans remains due and payable to Mr. Ponder.
 
On April 12, 2013, the Company and Spirit Bear Limited reached agreement regarding the settlement of allegations that the Company did not perform certain obligations pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 14, 2012 with Spirit Bear, and with respect to certain actions taken by the Company with respect to providing compensation to its management. Spirit Claim claimed, among others, that such actions triggered the anti-dilution protection provided to Spirit Bear in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Spirit Bear agreed to discharge the Company from all claims Spirit Bear may have had as well as to forgo all actions of any kind related to those claims which existed on or prior to April 12, 2013. Both parties also agreed that the signing of the agreement did not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or liability.
 
To satisfy the allegations, the Company and Spirit Bear agreed to amend the Certificate of Designation to provide that each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted into 50,000 shares of common stock and have the voting rights equal to 50,000 shares. Previously, each share of preferred stock was convertible into 20,000 shares of common stock and had the voting rights equal to 20,000 shares.
 
The Company and Spirit Bear also agreed to change the terms of the option provided to Spirit Bear in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The new language provides that the Company can sell up to 200 additional preferred shares and warrants to Spirit Bear, or other qualified investors designated by Spirit Bear, if before December 14, 2013, the Company’s technology is incorporated in (i) three motors or alternators or (ii) two motors and one auxiliary mobile power system, and the same are comprehensively tested in accordance with applicable standards and the results of those tests meet or exceed minimum requirements for certification under those standards. If the milestones are not met prior to such date, Spirit Bear retains its right to purchase 200 additional preferred shares and warrants until December 14, 2014.

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management does not expect that its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Control systems, no matter how well conceived and managed, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. 
 
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2012. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Act Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.

Internal control over financial reporting is defined under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

--
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
 
 
 
57

 
 
 
--
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

--
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

  Because we have only four officers, the Company’s internal controls are not effective for the following reasons, (1) there are no entity level controls because of the limited time and abilities of the four officers, and (2) there is no separate audit committee.  As a result, the Company’s internal controls have an inherent weakness which may increase the risks of errors in financial reporting under current operations and accordingly are not effective as evaluated against the criteria set forth in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2012.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over the financial reporting during our fourth quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

a)   Exercise of Warrant .  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (which delivery may be made in any manner set forth in Section 5(h) below, including without limitation by email); and, within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received  payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank, unless payment is being made by cashless exercise as provided in Section 2(c) below.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
 
 
 

 
 
b)   Exercise Price .  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.3565 subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).
 
c)   Cashless Exercise .  This Warrant may also be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 
(A) = the average of the daily VWAPs for the three (3) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of such election;
 
 
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and

 
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

d)   Mechanics of Exercise .
 
i.   Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise .  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if the Company is a participant in such system and either (x) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, or (y) such shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, within three (3) Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”).  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company.  The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
 
 
 

 
ii.   Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii.   Rescission Rights .  If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares (or otherwise transmit such shares via DWAC to the Holders DTC account) pursuant to this Section 2(d) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
 
iv.   No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
v.   Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
 
 
 

 
vi.   Closing of Books .  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
Section 3 .    Certain Adjustments .

a)   Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
b)   Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(b) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any successor entity shall pay at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, an amount of cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable  Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.
 
 
 

 
c)   Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
d)   Voluntary Adjustment By Company . The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
e)   Additional Notice to Holder .
 
i.   Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
ii.   Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
 
 
 

 
Section 4 .                       Transfer of Warrant .

a)   Transferability .  Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
 
b)   New Warrants . This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
 
c)   Warrant Register . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
Section 5 .                       Miscellaneous .
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
a)   No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise .  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
 
b)   Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
 
c)   Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc .  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
d)   Authorized Shares .  The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).  Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.  Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
 
 
 

 
e)   Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California.
 
f)   Restrictions .  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
 
g)   Nonwaiver and Expenses .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
 
h)   Notices .  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Company or the Holder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed as set forth hereafter, or at such other address as the Company or the Holder, as applicable, may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other.

Re: Option Exercise Price

Gentlemen;

On February 20, 2013 the board of directors resolved to decrease the exercise price of my five options to purchase one million shares previously awarded and to provide for cashless exercise of these options. The milestone stock prices were reduced to $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $4.50 and $5.00 for 20 consecutive trading days from $2.00, $3.00, $5.00, $7.50 and $10.00. Once the stock has traded at these prices for 20 consecutive trading days, the undersigned has the right to exercise an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at each milestone stock price.

After due consideration, I have decided that the terms of the initial option grant shall remain in full force and effect. Accordingly, (i) the reduced exercise prices of $4.00, $4.50 and $5.00 and (ii) the cashless exercise shall have no force and effect. If and when I decide to exercise my options, such exercise shall only be made at the original exercise prices and must be paid in cash.

This Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into on this 12th day of April, 2013, by and between HPEV, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), and Spirit Bear Limited (“ Spirit Bear ”), sometimes referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as “Parties”.

WHEREAS, without any admission of liability or fault, the Parties each desire to memorialize their verbal agreement to settle the Allegations in their entirety,, in order to avoid the continued expense, uncertainties and distraction of litigation that could arise as a result of these Allegations, and therefore, through their authorized representatives have agreed to settle all matters that were or could have been asserted, all as set forth herein below;

2.  
Section 7 of the Certificate of Designation shall be amended to provide that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have voting rights as if each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of Common Stock.
