Summary

 

Cyclone Power Technologies, a Florida corporation (OTCQB: CYPW) (the “Company,” “Cyclone,” or “we,” “our” is a clean-tech innovation company based in Pompano Beach, Florida. We were incorporated on July 5, 2007. Our mission is to develop power technologies that lead to more    efficient and diverse utilization of energy resources, less dependence on fossil fuels, and a cleaner environment.

 

Since 2006, we have completed multiple prototype stages and received 33 patents on the Cyclone Engine , an external heat engine that generates mechanical power by expanding super-heated steam rapidly inside its cylinders. This steam expansion pushes pistons and turns a shaft. Hot water is then expelled into a condenser to cool and return to the external heat source to repeat the process in a closed loop. This is a Rankine cycle , which is how nuclear and coal-fired power plants produce electricity.

 

What makes the Cyclone Engine different from power plants is size . Cyclone Engines are compact systems that can be used for distributed power generation (i.e., a small electric home generator that also co-generates hot water and space heating) and transportation applications. Unlike power plants that use turbines which are difficult to build cost-effectively and run efficiently in small sizes, we are designing our engines to be easy to manufacture, high performance, compact piston engines.

 

What makes the Cyclone Engine different from piston steam engines of the past is efficiency . Based on current testing, we are able to convert up to approximately 33% of the energy content of fuel into usable power. This is approximately a 400% improvement over historical steam engines and on par with today’s small diesel engines. We are able to achieve such high thermal efficiencies because we have figured out how to run our engines without using lubricating oil which carbonizes at high temperatures. Without that limitation we are able to utilize steam heated to the same temperature and pressures as used by large power plants. High temperature = high efficiency; and high pressure = high power density .

 

What makes the Cyclone Engine more useful than diesel engines is fuel diversity . As an external heat engine that uses steam to create mechanical power, how that steam is created is of little consequence. We can use traditional fossil or bio-fuels in our patented, clean-burning combustion chamber. We can integrate our engine with gasifiers that dispose biomass and bio-waste. We can capture exhaust heat from furnaces or other engines. We can even use solar thermal collectors to harness the energy of the sun.

 

The market opportunities for Cyclone Engines are vast . We estimate that our technology addresses a market potential of roughly $100+ billion, and touches virtually all areas of power generation and transportation, as well as the production of U.S bio-fuels, natural gas and coal.

 

We currently have three engines in development addressing markets that present what we believe to be the best and most immediate opportunities:

 

Our Mark 1 and Mark 3 model engines address the alternative energy markets to provide an external combustion engine able to burn various fuels providing power for usable mechanical and/or electric power. Our business model is to subcontract the manufacturing of these models and sell them to commercial customers and vertical partners starting in 2017.
   
Transportation and Equipment: Our Mark 5 model engine is a powerful, multi-fuel and clean burning demonstrator for the automotive, marine and off-road equipment markets. Our business model is to secure strong development partners in these sectors to provide program funding and support to allow us to complete a heavy equipment and vehicle integration in 2017.
   
Portable / Mobile Power : Our S-2 model engine was developed and accepted under a contract with the U.S. Army as a portable, multi-fuel power generator for vehicles and forward operating bases. We have licensed this technology to Falck Schmidt Defense Systems (“FSDS”) of Denmark, a worldwide military supplier. They will take the unit to a trial for military compliance.

 

The advantages of our technology have been widely recognized. We first caught the public eye as Popular Science Magazine’s Invention of the Year in 2008, and since then, we have secured engine development contracts with Raytheon, the U.S. Army, Phoenix Power Group (waste-to-energy), Combilift (European equipment manufacturer). FSDS (military supplier) and Integrated Biomass Energy System, FZ-LLC (“IBES”), a United Arab Emirates corporation. We have formed working relationships with other major defense and industrial groups, and teaming agreements with multiple “vertical” development partners that manufacture and distribute furnaces, gasifiers, electric generators and other synergistic technologies.

 

Business Objectives

 

Our business objective is to design and develop engines that we can manufacture through sub-contracted parties for direct sale to customers, which include Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of different clean combustion / heat technologies (such as biomass gasifiers and pyrolysis, methane and natural gas, wood pellet furnaces, solar collectors and similar items), and OEM’s in the equipment / transportation sectors. We also license our technology to manufacturers and other producers of specialized applications.

 

  3  
 

 

Based on our business model, our revenue will come from:

 

  Development and engineering fees from customers, partners and licensees;
     
  Direct sales revenue from engines we manufacture through sub contractors;
     
  Up-front license fees and on-going royalties based on sales by our licensees.
     
  Direct sales of Cyclone powered generators to distributors.

 

Development Status of Technology

 

Our products are in development, however, prototypes of several different models and sizes are near completion. The following lists each of the Cyclone Engines and products that we have in development:

 

Model   Size   Uses   Stage
             

Mark 1

 

  5 HP   Power generation –all fuels and heat sources   Preproduction units (10) in field testing
             
Mark 3   25 HP   Auxiliary power for military, biomass to power, portable power   Preproduction units (15) at OEM’s
             
Mark 5   100 HP   Transportation, commercial power, military   Beta Prototype (2)
             
Combustion Chamber       Waste fuels, biomass to power, for :transportation, commercial power, military   Preproduction units (25)

 

  (1) “Pre Production Unit” refers to an engine in the process of being engineered for manufacturing at OEM’s
     
  (2) Beta Prototype” refers to a second generation prototype engine, which has undergone significant testing at Cyclone’s facility.

 

Our engines are currently in customer field testing, and there is no guarantee that they will successfully meet customer expectations when completed.

 

Research and Development Activities

 

As a technology research and development company, much of our annual expenses are dedicated towards R&D, including labor costs, material costs, tooling and equipment and other expenses required to run our business. Our R&D expenditures for 2016 and 2015 were $604,199 and $467,610, respectively.

 

We actively pursue development agreements with customers, whereby we will develop an engine, design plans or other products to spec at the customer’s full or partial expense. Sometimes these arrangements are part of a more expansive license agreement.

 

Prototyping and Manufacturing

 

We currently contract with multiple suppliers for the production of many of our prototype parts, which we design and then assemble and test at our facility. In 2014, we acquired the machinery to produce in-house a greater portion of this prototype manufacturing work, which we believe has saved us considerable time and money. For production of prototypes we have contracted with one or more manufacturers that have the expertise, machinery, tooling and other capital assets required to commercialize and manufacture in mass production our engines.

Competitive Business Conditions

 

We believe that our technology, which is a small-scale heat-regenerative, Rankine cycle external combustion engine, has little direct competition. However, depending on the industry in which these engines are applied, indirect competitors utilizing different technologies do exist.

 

Currently, there are several companies which have developed and commercialized other types of external heat engines, such as Stirling engines. Stirling engines are similar to our technology and are used in overlapping applications (such as solar thermal power generation), however; the two engine technologies have several major differences, including size, power-density, and adaptability to fluctuations in heat and load. Based on preliminary testing and analysis, we believe that our engine technology may be superior to the Stirling engines in these aspects; and thus, has more applications in waste heat and mobile uses (i.e., cars, trucks and ships). We have not yet commercialized our engine technology, and these claims are still to be proven. Also, several Stirling engine companies such as Infinia Corp. have greater capital resources than we do, which could help establish their technology in the marketplace quicker than we can.

 

Other technologies that may be indirectly competitive with our engines are lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. Batteries are useful for some applications where limited sustained power (torque) and operating time is needed, however, they are just “fuel tanks” which allow for power that is generated elsewhere (i.e., a coal-fired power plant) to be saved and transported. The 100hp Cyclone engine we are currently developing, which would produce approximately 50kW of electric output, weighs just 125lbs, is 2 ft in diameter and height, and is expected to cost 10 times less to produce. Once again, these claims are based on our current beliefs and developmental testing, as we have not yet produced commercial products.

 

Patents and IP Protection

 

We currently have the following patents issued or allowed on our engine technology:

 

Active U.S. Patents

South African Patent No. 2007/02947

 

Indonesian Patent No. IDP0024346*

 

Indian Patent Application No. 1949/DELNP/2007

 

Pursuant to new US Patent Office regulations, upon approval, expired patents can be reestablished from inception. We have also taken advantage of reissues to include changes and broaden the patents. We pursue a rigorous patent strategy, pursuant to which (and subject to our available cash resources) we file patents in the U.S. for our engines, their individual components, and other innovations and inventions we develop. We also pursue patents internationally in countries where we believe we may have manufacturing or sales opportunities and/or competition. Despite these efforts, we cannot make assurances that our patents will not infringe on other patents throughout the world, that other groups will not try to infringe on our patents, and if either of these were to occur, that we would have the resources to defend our rights. If this were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We require all customers, suppliers and other partners to execute Non-Disclosure Agreements. We also require our employees and certain contractors to sign agreements that assign to us any innovations or discoveries they develop while working for us or working with our technology. Our license agreements contain similar assignment provisions. We feel that these efforts are satisfactory in protecting our technology with respect to people and companies with which we have direct business relationships.

 

Sources and availability of raw material

 

We purchase raw materials and components from multiple sources, none of which may be considered a principal or material supplier. If necessary we could replace these suppliers with minimal effect on our business operations.

 

Dependence on a few major customers

 

We have contracts for development and licensing of our engine technology: Combi-Lift LTD. (a global materials handling and lift equipment manufacturer based in Ireland), Falck Schmidt Defense Systems of Denmark (“FSDS”) (a global military products manufacturing and supplier), IBES (a producer of biomass furnace electric systems) and G2E (a solar engineering company for Mexico and South America). We have formed working relationships with other major industrial groups, and teaming agreements with manufacturers. Our licensee for waste heat to power, Q2 Power Inc., is currently in breach of their licensing agreement and has been formally notified to cure contract breaches.

 

Because of the diversification of applications, uses and business models, and the current stage of our development / product sales cycle, we do not believe that the loss of the licensee or development partner would have a material adverse impact on our current or future operations. Additionally, we are actively pursuing other licensees and development partners in other product categories.

 

Governmental regulation

 

Our Products . Power systems are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that directly or indirectly impose standards governing emissions and noise. Our engines, when they will ultimately be installed in power systems, will be subject to compliance with all current emissions standards imposed by the EPA, state regulatory agencies in the United States, including the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and other regulatory agencies around the world and established for power systems utilized in applications such as electric generators or off-highway industrial equipment. EPA and CARB regulations imposed on engines utilized in industrial off-highway equipment generally serve to restrict emissions, with a primary focus on oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and hydrocarbons. Emission regulations for engines utilized in off-highway industrial equipment vary based upon the use of the equipment into which the engine is incorporated (such as stationary power generation or mobile off-highway industrial equipment), and the type of fuel used to drive the power system. Further, applicable emission thresholds differ based upon the gross power of an engine utilized in industrial off-highway equipment. Additionally, most emissions thresholds are designed for gasoline and diesel-powered “spark-ignited” internal combustion engines, and not external combustion engines like Cyclone’s engines. In 2015, Cyclone received EPA and CARB certifications for all fuels 25HP and below for power generation.

Our markets can be positively or negatively impacted by the effects of governmental and regulatory matters. We are affected not only by energy policy, laws, regulations and incentives of governments in the markets into which we sell, but also by rules, regulations and costs imposed by utilities. Utility companies or governmental entities could place barriers on the installation of our product or the interconnection of the product with the electric grid. Further, utility companies may charge additional fees to customers who install on-site power generation, thereby reducing the electricity they take from the utility, or for having the capacity to use power from the grid for back-up or standby purposes. These types of restrictions, fees or charges could hamper the ability to install or effectively use our products or increase the cost to our potential customers for using our systems in the future. This could make our systems less desirable, thereby adversely affecting our revenue and profitability potential. In addition, utility rate reductions can make our products less competitive which would have a material adverse effect on our future operations. These costs, incentives and rules are not always the same as those faced by technologies with which we compete. However, rules, regulations, laws and incentives could also provide an advantage to our distributed generation solutions as compared with competing technologies if we can achieve required compliance at a lower cost when our engines are commercialized. Additionally, reduced emissions and higher fuel efficiency could help our future customers combat the effects of global warming. Accordingly, we may benefit from increased government regulations that impose tighter emission and fuel efficiency standards. Cyclone has already received EPA and CARB emissions certification for generators any fuel 25 horsepower and under.

 

Our Operations . Our operations are also subject to numerous federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. We may be required to incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations in the future, and any failure to comply with such laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect upon our ability to do business.

 

Because of our work with the military, we have registered with the U.S. Department of State under its International Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR). We do not believe we develop, sell or export any covered munitions under these Regulations, but have registered the company in an abundance of precaution.

 

Employees. As of December 31, 2016, we had 6 full-time employees including management, and one part-time employee. We consider our relations with our employees to be good. None of our employees are covered under any labor union or collective bargaining agreement. As needed, we contract with specialized labor and consultants to control costs.

Item 2. Properties

 

We currently operate in a 6,000 sf leased warehouse facility at a monthly rate of $5,661. Our address is 601 NE 26th Ct., Pompano Beach, FL 33064. The lease expired Dec 2016, and we are currently on a monthly basis. We believe these facilities are in good condition, but we still may need to expand our operating space further as our research and development efforts expand.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

Effective May 8, 2015, the Company is subject to a default judgment in Dallas Texas of approximately $175,000 plus interest for non-payment of convertible debt and interest, attorney fees and court costs.

Forward Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other things:

 

  the ability to successfully complete commercialization of our technology;
     
  changes in existing and potential relationships with customers and collaborative partners;
     
  the ability to retain certain members of management;
     
  our expectations regarding general and administrative expenses;
     
  our expectations regarding cash availability and balances, capital requirements, anticipated revenue and expenses, including infrastructure and patent expenditures;
     
  other factors detailed from time to time in filings with the SEC.

 

In addition, in this filing, we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this filing. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this filing may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statement.

 

Overview

 

We are engaged in the research and development of all-fuel, eco-friendly engine technologies. Several prototypes of these engines are current beta tested, pre-production tested or nearing completion with 2 models currently in limited production. While we started to generate revenue from its operations as early as 2008, it has not had material or consistent revenue in each of the last two fiscal years. For us to maintain and expand our operations through the next 12 months, we will seek the completion of our manufactured products by our two manufacturers of the engines and the integration of the engines into a generator package to be sold to distributors. We will also continue license agreements and development agreements that provide up-front or progress payment funds to us. We also will continue to pursue raising capital by means of equity or debt offerings.

 

In 2015, the TARDAC (S2) engine was delivered, on time, and accepted, by the U.S. Army. This contract was for approximately $1.4 million. We have licensed this S2 technology to FSDS, to take it to TRL9 for military compliance. We have received $150,000 with another $75,000 due on delivery for 2 S2 systems. We have completed 80% of the testing and anticipate delivery and final payments within the next 1-2 months. We have also signed a long term license agreement with FSDS which also brings Cyclone into their organization as an R&D arm.

 

In 2017, with additional resources, our R&D team will also move towards completion of the Mark 5 project. This engine is to be delivered to Combilift for its clean-burning material lift equipment.. With respect to the Combilift contract, we are forecasting an additional $300,000 in revenue from the delivery of two Mark 5 engines to this customer. We are also pursuing other R&D contracts that both support and build-off of these two engine programs, inclusive of marine power applications.

Financing Transactions

 

In 2016, we financed our operations through funds generated from $94,725 in notes payable and an increase in trade accounts payables, accrued liabilities and payables and debt to related parties of approximately $962,000.

 

Corporate Structural Actions. We will continue to take decisive steps to mature our structure and operations to attract funding from investors with long range horizons and strategic partners who can add value from multiple directions. This type of funding is different from the convertible notes we used to finance us over the last few years.

 

Stock for Services and Contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we issued 3 million shares of common stock for $6,000 of services. We also amortized (based on vesting) $2,526 of common stock options for employee services.

 

Stock for Liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we issued approximately 125.7 million shares of common stock in payment of approximately $241,000 of liabilities.

 

Research & Development. We invest considerably in the development of our technology. Over the years, these investments have led to over 30 patents and substantial progress towards the commercialization of our engine technology. For 2016 our R&D expenses were $604,199. and for 2015, our R&D expenses were $467,610.

 

Commitments for Capital and Operational Expenditures. Should additional funding be secured, we could increase the number of skilled and unskilled employees on payroll, including the recruitment of high level executive management and additional engineers and mechanical staff.

 

Critical Accounting Policies. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates, assumptions and related expectations. Management believes that these estimates, assumptions and related expectations upon which we depend at the time are reasonable based upon information then available. These estimates, assumptions and related expectations affect the reported amounts of the balance sheet and income statement for the timeframe of the financial statements presented. To the degree that there are significant variances between these estimates and assumptions and actual results, there would be an effect on the financial statements. GAAP mandates specific accounting treatment in numerous situations and does not require management’s estimates and judgment in its application. Alternative accounting treatments, where available, based on management’s estimates and judgments would not produce a materially different result. The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

 

Intangible assets, consisting primarily of patents, are deemed to be critical for the furtherance of our business objectives and our engine products. Impairment is not currently reflective, as we are developing our products and obtaining new contracts based on these engine and associated technology patents.

 

We review inventory for engine development on an ongoing basis for obsolescence as engine designs are revised, with resultant charges to R&D.

 

For purposes of valuing stock based compensation, we use market prices of our common stock as of the time of issuance. We use the Black Scholes valuation method for valuing our stock based compensation from common stock options. This method requires us to make estimates and assumptions regarding stock prices, stock volatility, dividend yields, expected exercise term and risk-free interest rates.

 

Our audited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our 95% owned subsidiary, Cyclone Performance. We have eliminated all material inter-company transactions and balances in our consolidated financial statements. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States for financial information. In our management’s opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

Results of Operations –

 

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2015

 

Revenues and Gross Profit

 

There were no revenues or gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses increased $451,924, or 40%, to $1,580,071 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $1,128,147 for the comparable period in 2015. The majority of the increase was due to higher research and development expenses of $202,689 (74%) that were attributable to the complete expensing of engine developmental labor and overhead, and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $273,351 or 44%, (primarily consulting and timing of patent maintenance fees) and a charge of $41,252 for patent retirements. This was partially offset by a net $66,100 reduction in the inventory reserve provision.

 

Operating Loss

 

Our operating losses increase $451,924, or 40%, to $1,580,071 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $1,128,147 for the comparable period in 2015.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Net other expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was ($520,852) primarily attributable to non cash derivative expense of $370,519 and $141,450 of interest expense. Net other expense for the year ended December 31 2015 of $(342,156) was inclusive of interest expense of $348,858, and to derivative liability income of $56,702.

 

Net Income and Earnings per Share

 

Our net loss increased $630,620 or 43% to $2,100,923 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to a net loss of $1,470,303 for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease is due to the factors set forth above. The resulting net loss per weighted average share for 2016 and 2015 was ($0.00) and ($0.00), respectively.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2014

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues declined $329,027, or 100%, to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $329,027 for the comparable period in 2014. The lack of revenues was due to current contracts on a completed contract basis versus prior milestone basis. Our 2014 revenues included $140,527 from the successful fulfillment of the final milestone under the U.S. Army contract, and $175,000 from the income recognition of the license agreement with Q2 Power.

 

  11  
 

 

Gross Profit

 

Our gross profit declined $240,220, or 100%, to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $240,220 for the comparable period in 2014. The decrease is due to no sales in 2015. Our 2014 Cost of Goods Sold included approximately $88,000 related to the U.S. Army contract.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses decreased $1,890,075, or 63%, to $1,128,147 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $3,018,222 for the comparable period in 2014. The majority of the decrease was due to lower research and development expenses of $550,942 (54%) that were attributable the spin off in 2014 of the WHE engine as well as a reduction in staff and the 2014 loss on retirement of R&D equipment. This was partially offset by a $112,000 2015 inventory reserve. General and administrative expenses were lower by $1,237,049 (65%) due to reduced staffing and related expenses, lower stock based payments for services and cost controls reflective of funding considerations. Advertising and promotion expenses were $102,084 or 93% lower reflective of the 2014 $85,583 loss on the retirement of demonstration equipment.

 

Operating Loss

 

Our operating losses decreased $1,649,855, or 59%, to $1,128,147 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2,778,002 for the comparable period in 2014.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Net other expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 was ($342,156) primarily attributable to interest expense. Net other expense for the year ended December 31 2014 of $(2,176,423) was inclusive of interest expense of $1,327,102, losses related to derivative liability of $147,680 and realization loss provisions on the valuation of WHE Gen investment and note receivable of $706,756.

 

Net Income and Earnings per Share

 

Our net loss decreased $3,484,122, or 70%, to $1,470,303 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $4,954,425 for the comparable period in 2014. The decrease is due to the factors set forth above. The resulting net loss per weighted average share for 2015 and 2014 was ($0.00) and ($0.01), respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our working capital deficiency increased by $1.7 million or 76%, to $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared $2.3 million for the comparable period in 2015. The variance is primarily due to the manufacturing material and WIP inventory reductions and higher: payables and accruals, notes and loans payable, derivative fair value liabilities and deferred revenue deposits.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, funds were provided by a $554,744 increase in accounts payable and accruals, a $407,426 increase in related party accounts payable, accruals and notes payable, a $170,941 reduction in inventory and a $175,700 increase in deferred revenue deposits. Funds were used by the net loss of $2,100,923. Included in the net loss is a net non-cash charge of $370,518 attributable to inclusion, (besides the underlying debt) in the fair value of derivative liabilities of note default judgments, default interest and related debt interest.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, funds were primarily used by the net loss of ($1,470,303) and an increase of $46,465 in inventory. Funds were provided by debt proceeds of $50,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $483,129, and an increase in related party payables and debt of $457,564. Non cash charges were $174,043 for amortization of derivative debt discounts, an $192,000 inventory reserve provision and $75,574 of depreciation and intangible amortization.

Cash Flow Management Plan

 

Through 2016, we collected contract progress payments and contract deposits of $175,000, and collected approximately $100,000 in traditional, non derivative related debt. In the second quarter of 2016, in recognition of the declining market value and low market volume, we sold all of our investment in Q 2 Power Technologies for $44,000.

 

In 2016, we have submitted approximately $3 million in grant (or grant-type) applications and proposals with various government offices, which could provide non-dilutive funding for our development.

 

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016. Management is optimistic, however, that revenue can be generated and funding can be secured to maintain operations and development at the current pace.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

(a) Engagement of New Independent Registered Accounting Firm and Dismissal of Independent Accounting Firms

 

On March 22, 2017, we appointed Soles, Heyn & Company LLP (SH) as our new independent registered accounting firm with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, we engaged SH to review the quarterly financial statements of March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016, and September 30, 2016.

 

On July 25, 2016,we had appointed Anton & Chia,, LLP (A&C) as our new independent registered accounting firm with respect to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. In addition, we had engaged A&C to review the quarterly financial statements of March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, and September 30, 2015.

 

In March 2017, we terminated the engagement of Anton & Chia,, LLP (A&C) as our independent registered accounting firm. This action effectively dismissed A&C as our independent registered accounting firm. A&Cs reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report included an explanatory paragraph relating to an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, since March, 2017, there have been no disagreements with A&C on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to A&C’s satisfaction, would have caused MF to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such periods.

 

  13  
 

 

On July 26, 2016, we terminated the engagement of Mallah Furman & Company, P.A.(“MF”) as our independent registered accounting firm. This action effectively dismissed MF as our independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 and 2015. MF’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report included an explanatory paragraph relating to an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, since December 31, 2013, there have been no disagreements with MF on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to MF’s satisfaction, would have caused MF to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such periods.

 

Except as noted in this paragraph, since January 1, 2014, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation SK.

 

Since July, 2016, neither us nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted SH or A&C, with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation SK.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls

 

None.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President (Chief Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our financial disclosures, controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2016.

 

A material weakness can be defined as an insufficiency of internal controls that may result in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement will not be prevented, detected or corrected in a company’s financial statements.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our President (Chief Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, based on the following deficiencies:

 

  Weaknesses in Accounting and Finance Personnel: We have a small accounting staff and we do not have the robust employee resources and expertise needed to meet complex and intricate GAAP and SEC reporting requirements of a U.S. public company. Additionally, numerous adjustments and proposed adjustments have been noted by our auditors. This is deemed by management to be a material weakness in preparing financial statements.
     
  We have written accounting policies and control procedures, but we do not have sufficient staff to implement the related controls. Management had determined that this lack of the implantation of segregation of duties, as required by our written procedures, represents a material weakness in our internal controls.
     
  Internal control has as its core a basic tenant of segregation of duties. Due to our limited size and economic constraints, we are not able to segregate for control purposes various asset control and recording duties and functions to different employees. This lack of segregation of duties had been evaluated by management, and has been deemed to be a material control deficiency.

 

  14  
 

 

We have determined that the above internal control weaknesses and deficiencies could result in a reasonable possibility for interim financial statements that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our internal controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Procedures.

 

Management is currently evaluating what steps can be taken to address these material weaknesses. As a growing small business, we continuously devote resources to the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. Due to budget constraints, the staffing size, proficiency and specific expertise in the accounting department is below requirements for the operation. We are anticipating correcting deficiencies as funds become available.

 

Item 9B. Other Information

 

None.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

We have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined. Mr. Schoell served as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman since inception in 2004 until 2012 when he was appointed as our Chief Technology Officer. No one currently serves as our CEO.

 

Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our assessment of risks. The Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing us and our general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks we face and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

 

We do not have an Audit Committee, however, we have hired a CPA consultant to assist with our SEC filings. We expect to add members to this committee in the near future. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring and reviewing our financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee’s responsibilities are set forth in our Charter of Corporate Governance, a copy of which is currently available from us and is posted on our website.

 

We do not have a Compensation Committee, Nominating Committee or other committees at this time. We expect to create such committees in the future.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Our Board of Directors (excluding any interested director) is charged with reviewing and approving all related-person transactions, and a special committee of our Board of Directors is established to negotiate the terms of such transactions. In considering related-person transactions, our Board of Directors considers all relevant available facts and circumstances.

 

We have an Operations Agreement dated July 2, 2007, with Schoell Marine, a company owned by Harry Schoell, providing equipment leasing, based upon cost and going market rates and though December 2015 office facility rental. At December 31, 2016, we owed to Schoell Marine $223,567, which is recorded as related party debt. The debt is callable at the discretion of Mr. Schoell. Through December 2015 we rented office space from Schoell Marine under this agreement at approximately $12.00/sf, which we believe to be at market rates.

 

As of December 31, 2016, we also had recorded $412,500 of accrued and deferred officer’s salaries to Mr. Schoell and Ms. Fruge, The accrued deferred salary can be paid to the officers if and when funds are available. These funds are accounted for as non-interest bearing accruals due on demand.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and

       Board of Directors of Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc., as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audit 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc., as of December 31, 2016 and results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements, the Company has had no revenues and has incurred losses since inception which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

 

Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015, and the results of its consolidated operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, these conditions 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 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

CYCLONE POWER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATIONAL AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “our,” “Cyclone”) is the successor entity to the business of Cyclone Technologies LLLP (the “LLLP”), a limited liability limited partnership formed in Florida in September 2004. The LLLP was the original developer and intellectual property holder of the Cyclone engine technology. Initiated in 2016, the Company’s current business model, is to be primarily a research and development engineering company whose main purpose is to develop, commercialize, market and license its Cyclone engine technology. Engines and related systems will be outsourced for manufacturing but the company will invoice customers. Our prior business model also included engine manufacturing.

 

In 2012, the Company established Cyclone Performance LLC (“Cyclone Performance”) f/k/a Cyclone-TeamSteam USA, LLC. The purpose of Cyclone Performance is to build, test and run various vehicles and vessels utilizing the Company’s engine. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company had a 95% controlling interest in Cyclone Performance.

 

In 2010, the Company established a subsidiary WHE Generation Corp. f/k/a, Cyclone-WHE LLC (the “WHE Subsidiary”, “WheGen”), to market the waste heat recovery systems for all Cyclone engine models. As of September 30, 2014 the Company had sold most of its ownership and the balance was sold in the second quarter of 2016.

 

B. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 95% owned subsidiary Cyclone Performance. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Effective September 30, 2014, Cyclone sold most of its investment in the WHE Subsidiary and as of December 31, 2015 retained approximately a 2 million share non controlling (below 20%) interest in the WHE Subsidiary. This investment was deconsolidated on September 30, 2014 and the remaining investment was sold in the second quarter of 2016.

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with account principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The accounting principles utilized by the Company require the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the periods. On an on-going basis, the Company reviews and evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those that relate to the realizable value of inventory, identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, contracts, income taxes, derivative liabilities, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

C. CASH

 

Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company maintained cash balances at one financial institution.

 

  F- 7  
 

 

D. COMPUTATION OF LOSS PER SHARE

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is not presented as the conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, total anti-dilutive shares amounted to approximately 14.5 million and 13.5 million shares, respectively.

 

E. INCOME TAXES

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “ Income Taxes ” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss 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. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.

 

In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2016, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. Interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements as a component of income taxes. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2013 through 2016.

 

F. REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605, “ Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements ”, and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, Revenue Recognition . Revenue will be recognized at the date of shipment of engines and systems, engine prototypes, engine designs or other deliverables to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from contracts for multiple deliverables and milestone method recognition are evaluated and allocated as appropriate. The Company does not allow its customers to return prototype products. Current contracts do not require the Company to provide any warranty assistance after the “deliverable” has been accepted.

 

It is the Company’s intention when it has royalty revenue from its contracts to record royalty revenue periodically when earned, as reported in sales statements from customers. The Company does not have any royalty revenue to date.

 

G. WARRANTY PROVISIONS

 

Current contracts do not require warranty assistance subsequent to acceptance of the “deliverable R&D prototype” by the customer. For products that the Company will sell in the future, warranty costs are anticipated to be borne by the manufacturing vendor.

 

H. INVENTORY

 

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Based on our revised R&D company business model, commencing in 2016, costs include only material to develop a completed engine. In our former business model costs include material, labor and allocated overhead to manufacture a completed engine. These costs are periodically evaluated to determine if they have a net realizable value. If the net realizable value is lower than the carrying amount, a reserve is provided.

 

  F- 8  
 

 

I. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date.
     
Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting date.

 

The summary of annual fair values and changing values of financial instruments as of January 1, 2015 through December 31 2015 and January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 is as follows:

 

Instrument   Beginning of Period     Change     End of Period     Level     Valuation Methodology  
                                         
Derivative liabilities 2015   $ 440,184     $ (56,706 )   $ 383,482       3       Stochastic Process Forecasting Model  
                                         
Derivative liabilities 2016   $ 383,482     $ 370,518     $ 754,000       3       Stochastic Process Forecasting Model  

 

Please refer to Note 16 for disclosure and assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

 

J. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development activities for product development are expensed as incurred. Costs for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $604,199 and $467,610, respectively.

 

K. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company applies the fair value method of ASC 718, “ Share Based Payment ”, in accounting for its stock based compensation. This standard states that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company values stock based compensation at the market price for the Company’s common stock as of the date in which the obligation for payment of services is incurred.

 

L. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND PURCHASE WARRANTS

 

The Company accounts for common stock options and purchase warrants at fair value in accordance with ASC 815-40, “ Derivatives and Hedging”. The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation method (“BSM option pricing model”) is used to determine fair value of these warrants consistent with ASC 718, “ Share Based Payment”. Use of this method requires that the Company make assumptions regarding stock volatility, dividend yields, expected term of the warrants and risk-free interest rates.

 

The Company accounts for transactions in which services are received from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the equity instruments exchanged, in accordance with ASC 505-50, “ Equity Based payments to Non-employees” .

 

  F- 9  
 

 

M. ORIGINAL ISSUE DEBT DISCOUNT

 

The original issue discount (OID) related to notes payable is amortized by the effective interest method over the repayment period of the notes. The unamortized OID is represented as a reduction of the amount of the notes payable.

 

N. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

    Years  
Display equipment for trade shows     3  
Leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures     10 - 15  
Shop equipment     7  
Computers     3  

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

O. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets and other long lived assets to determine whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. To date, the Company has not recognized any impairment charges.

 

P. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions and includes the recognition of the income tax effects of awards that vest or settle as income tax expense and clarification of the presentation of certain components of share-based awards in the statement of cash flows. We are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our financial statements and the effective date of application is 2018.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “ Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ”. which applies to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options, and requires that embedded derivatives be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as derivatives if certain criteria are met. One criterion is that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the ASU on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

  F- 10  
 

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard amends and adjusts how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless impractical. If impractical the Company would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date possible. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-15 will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Q. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk. The Company expects cash and accounts receivable to be the two assets most likely to subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its risk of loss exposure.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company maintained its cash in one quality financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts through December 31,2016. The Company purchases raw material and components from multiple sources, none of which may be considered a principal or material supplier. If necessary, the Company could replace these suppliers with minimal effect on its business operations.

 

R. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities were codified by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”). It requires that all derivatives be recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings or recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the purpose of the derivatives and whether they qualify and have been designated for hedge accounting treatment. The Company has derivative liabilities pursuant to convertible debt and common stock warrants, and has recognized net expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not have any derivative instruments for which it has applied hedge accounting treatment.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating and other losses and expenses of approximately $2.10 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, and $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The cumulative deficit since inception is approximately $60.8 million. The Company has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2016 of approximately $4.0 million. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans which include implementation of its business model to generate revenue from development contracts, licenses and product sales, and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will also likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company is currently raising working capital to fund its operations via debt, advance contract payments (deferred revenue) and advances from and deferred payments to related parties.

 

NOTE 3 – INVENTORY, NET

 

Initiated in 2016, based on our revised R&D company business model, Inventory principally consists of raw material. to develop an engine. Under our prior business model, inventory consisted of raw material engine parts, work in process engines, labor and overhead, net of realization, valuation and obsolescence reserves. In the aggregate inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.

 

  F- 11  
 

 

Inventory, net consists of:

 

    December 31, 2016     December 31, 2015  
Raw materials   $ 26,667     $ 323,508  
Total   $ 26,667     $ 323,505  

 

We provide estimated provisions for the realization, valuation and obsolescence of our inventories, including adjustments to market, based on various factors, including the age of such inventory and our management’s assessment of the need for such provisions. We look at historical inventory aging and usage reports and margin analyses in determining our provision estimate.

 

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

 

Property and equipment consists of the following:

 

    December 31, 2016     December 31, 2015  
Display equipment for trade shows   $ 6,270     $ 6,270  
Leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures     93,922       93,922  
Equipment and computers     202,578       204,377

Accumulated depreciation     (209,498 )     (178,049 )
Net property and equipment   $ 93,272     $ 126,520  

 

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015 was $33,269 and $36,645, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS

 

Patents, trademarks and copyrights consist of legal fees paid to file and perfect these claims. The net balances as of December 31, 2016, and 2015 were $178,478 and $283,368, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015 the Company capitalized $0, and $0, respectively, of expenditures related to these assets. In 2016, and 2015 the Company recorded net charges of $69,782 and $28,530, respectively, included in general and administrative expenses, for various expired patents; the basic patents for the Cyclone technology are still protected.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 15 patents issued on its technology both in the U.S. and internationally. Pursuant to new US Patent Office regulations, upon approval, expired patents can be reestablished from inception.

 

Patents, trademarks and copyrights are amortized over the life of the intellectual property which is 15 years. Amortization expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015 were $35,088 and $38,929, respectively.

The fair value of new stock options, re-priced stock options, new purchase warrants and re-priced purchase warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was calculated using the following assumptions:

 

   

Year Ended

Risk free interest rate     .71%-1.4%       .89% -1.31%

Expected term     3       3
Expected dividend yield     0%       0%
Average value per options and warrants   $ .0019 -$.0024     $ .0003 -$.0016

 

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock price. Short Term U.S. Treasury rates were utilized at the risk free interest rate. The expected term of the options and warrants was calculated using the alternative simplified method newly codified as ASC 718 “ Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, ” which defined the expected life as the average of the contractual term of the options and warrants and the weighted average vesting period for all issuances.

 

B. COMMON STOCK WARRANTS

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, 625,000 warrants with an average exercise price of $.0144 expired.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

 

A reconciliation of the differences between the effective income tax rates and the statutory federal tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

 

   

Year ended

December 31, 2016

         

Year ended

December 31, 2015

       
Tax benefit at U.S. statutory rate   $ 470,466       34 %   $ 235,276       34 %
State taxes, net of federal benefit     55,349       4       27,679       4  
Change in valuation allowance     (525,818 )     (38 )     (262,955 )     (38 )
      -       -       -          

 

The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of the following:

 

Deferred Tax Assets  

December 31, 2016

   

December 31, 2015

 
Net Operating Loss Carry-forward   $ 10,577,607     $ 9,924,492  
Deferred Tax Liabilities – Accrued Officers’ Salaries     (900,306 )     (795,805 )
Net Deferred Tax Assets     9,677,301       9,128,687  
Valuation Allowance     (9,677,301 )     (9,128,687 )
Total Net Deferred Tax Assets   $ -     $ -  

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $22.8 million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2031. 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. No tax asset has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

In 2012, the Company established a 100% owned subsidiary (renamed) Cyclone Performance LLC. The purpose of Cyclone Performance is to build, test and run a vehicle utilizing the Company’s engine. In the last quarter of 2012, the Company sold a 5% equity investment to an unrelated investor for $30,000. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, this 5% equity investment was acquired by a corporate officer of the Company. Losses of the subsidiary are currently fully borne by the Company, as there is no guarantee of future profits or positive cash flow of the subsidiary. As of December 31, 2016, the cumulative unallocated losses to the non-controlling interests of this subsidiary of $953 are to be recovered by the parent from future subsidiary profits if they materialize.

NOTE 16 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Prior to 2015, the Company entered into convertible note agreements (subject to derivative accounting treatment). The conversion prices into common stock ranged from a discount of 30% to 45% of the lowest closing prices in the 10 to 20 trading days prior to the conversion. Under provisions of ASC Topic 815-40, this conversion feature triggered derivative accounting treatment because the convertible note was convertible into an indeterminable number of shares of common stock. The fair value of the embedded conversion option was required to be presented as a derivative liability and adjusted to fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operation.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a $11,680 non-cash charge to interest expense (reflective of debt discount amortization), and $370,519 of derivative loss related to adjusting the derivative liability to fair value. At December 31, 2016, the derivative related fair value of debt was $754,000. The significant increase in the derivative loss was the inclusion of default judgments, default and accrued interest in the fair market debt calculation.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a $174,043 non-cash charge to interest expense (reflective of debt discount amortization), an increase of $0 in additional paid in capital pursuant to conversion of convertible notes to common stock, and a $56,702 of derivative gain related to adjusting the derivative liability to fair value. At December 31, 2015, the derivative related fair value of debt was $383,482.

 

The Company calculates the estimated fair values of the liabilities for derivative instruments at each quarter-end using the Stochastic Process Forecasting models (Monte Carlo simulations). Volatility, expected term and risk free interest rates used to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities are indicated in the table below. The volatility was based on historical volatility, the expected term is equal to the remaining term of the debt and the risk free rate is based upon rates for treasury securities with the same term.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 95% owned subsidiary Cyclone Performance. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements. We follow the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports as we do in our annual reports.

 

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. We suggest that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

The accounting principles utilized by the Company require the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures during the periods. On an on-going basis, the Company reviews and evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those that relate to the realizable value of inventory, identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets, contracts, income taxes, derivative liabilities, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial operating and other losses and expenses of approximately $.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the cumulative deficit since inception to September 30, 2016 is approximately $59.6 million,. The Company has a working capital deficit at September 30, 2016 of approximately $2.9 million. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans which include continuation of its business model to generate revenue from development contracts, licenses and product sales, and continuing to raise funds through debt and advances from strategic partners and deferred payments to related parties.

 

NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Cumulatively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, related party indebtness increased $416,631 from December 31, 2015.

 

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company has employment agreements with Harry Schoell, Chairman and CTO (previously, CEO), at $150,000 per year and Frankie Fruge, President, at $120,000 per year; (collectively, the “Executives”). These agreements provide for a term of three (3) years from their Effective Date (July 2007 with automatically renewing successive one year periods starting on the end of the second anniversary of the Effective Date. If the Executive is terminated “without cause” or pursuant to a “change in control” of the Company, as both defined in the respective agreements, the Executive shall be entitled to (i) any unpaid Base Salary accrued through the effective date of termination, (ii) the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate prevailing at such termination through 12 months from the date of termination or the end of his Term then in effect, whichever is longer, and (iii) any performance bonus that would otherwise be payable to the Executive were he/she not terminated, during the 12 months following his or her termination

2. Fees, Assistance. Development, and Cyclone Engine Sales .

 

2.1 FSDS will pay to Cyclone the Royalty Fees as set forth in the Specific Terms. FSDS shall only be obligated to pay the Royalty Fees with respect to a Cyclone Engine when FSDS has been paid by its customer for that Cyclone Engine. Royalty Fees owing to Cyclone under this Agreement are payable by FSDS to Cyclone within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter from the revenues received during the preceding calendar quarter by FSDS from the sales of Cyclone Engines. All payments by FSDS to Cyclone shall be made in United States Dollars.

 

2.2 FSDS will pursue the development of uses of the Cyclone Engine within the Applications and, in support of these efforts, Cyclone will provide, on a timely and competent basis, technical and other support as FSDS may request.

 

2.3 Cyclone may seek research and development opportunities relating to the Applications provided that Cyclone first notify FSDS of Cyclone’s interest in each and any such opportunity and first requesting that FSDS join in such opportunity together with Cyclone. Upon receiving notice from Cyclone of such opportunity, which notice will describe the opportunity in sufficient detail for FSDS to reasonably understand the terms and conditions thereof, FSDS shall have 30 days from such notice date to advise whether or not FSDS will participate. In the event that FSDS fails to respond within such 30-day period or issues notice that FSDS declines to participate, then Cyclone shall be free to pursue that opportunity on its own. In the event that Cyclone pursues such opportunity on its own and any new technology, developments or products result therefrom concerning the Applications, then any further work, development, research, manufacture, or provision of any products related thereto shall be covered under this Agreement and be presented to FSDS for further pursuit or exploitation.

2.4 Subject to capacity and availability, FSDS agrees to sell Cyclone Engines to Cyclone and/or customers of Cyclone, that have been manufactured by or for FSDS, according to FSDS’s terms and conditions of sale and upon such other terms as FSDS deems appropriate. With respect to such sales, FSDS agrees that the prices for such Cyclone Engines will be as favorable for Cyclone as for any large customer (based upon the number of Cyclone Engines purchased by such customer from FSDS) of FSDS. Further, FSDS shall not be obligated to pay any Royalty Fees with respect to Cyclone Engines sold by FSDS to Cylcone or any Cyclone customer.

 

3. Reports and Audit .

 

3.1 FSDS will provide Cyclone with a written report on a quarterly basis detailing the finished units of Cyclone Engines FSDS has sold in the previous three-month period, including quantity, model type and country where sold. These Cyclone Engines will be identified by a pre established unique series of engine numbers in addition to the patent numbers. These reports are necessary for Cyclone to monitor FSDS’s sales perfolmance in addition to international patent and IP protection purposes.

 

4. Representations and Warranties.

 

4.1 Cyclone represents and warrants to FSDS that Cyclone is the owner of the Technology, that Cyclone has clear and unrestricted and unencumbered title to the Patents, and that Cyclone has the right to grant the exclusive License to FSDS hereunder free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or right of any third party that would prevent or limit in any way FSDS’s ability to use the Technology or exploit the rights granted under this Agreement.

 

4.2 Cyclone represents and warrants that Cyclone is not involved in any suits, litigation or other claims contesting the validity or ownership of any of the Technology, the Patents or Patent applications, and knows of no such claims at this time pending or anticipated. Cyclone further represents and warrants that it has no knowledge of, and has not received any notice, that the Technology infringes or is alleged to infringe any intellectual property right, including any patents or trade-secret rights, of any third party.

4.9 FSDS represents to Cyclone that no events specific to FSDS have occurred, or to its knowledge are pending, that have impaired or may impair materially the financial condition or viability of the FSDS, or otherwise make the performance of its financial and operational duties hereunder impossible or impractical.

 

5. Identification oflnfringers and Indemnity

 

5.1 Each Party will, without delay, inform the other Party of any known infringement, unauthorized use, misappropriation, or other such claim (collectively, an “Infringement”) by a third party with respect to the Technology, and will provide such other Party with any evidence available to the informing Party of such Infringement. Cyclone shall, for a period of sixty days from becoming aware of such Infringement, have the sole and exclusive right and obligation to take appropriate legal or other steps (enforcement activities) with respect to any Infringement in the Territory in the Application considering any reasonable input from FSDS. Cyclone shall inform FSDS in writing within such sixty day period what, if any, steps it will take. Failure to provide such notice shall constitute Cyclone’s decision to not take any such steps. If Cyclone subsequently files a lawsuit for infringement with respect to the Technology in the Territory in the Application, FSDS shall be responsible to contribute to the reasonable costs of such enforcement activities to protect the Technology to the extent that the claimed infringement involves infringing products in the Application in the Territory, including all reasonable attorney, paralegal, accountant or other professional fees from the notice of such action through all trial and appellate levels. Contribution by FSDS shall not exceed twenty five percent (25%) of avergage annual Royalty Fees paid or due under this Agreement for the preceding three calendar years (or twenty five percent (25%) of twelve times the monthly average in the event that this Agreement has been in existence for a period of less than three years). The parties shall cooperate with each other and provide all advice and assistance reasonably requested by each other in pursuit of such Infringement matters. Any proceeds from such Infringement enforcement activities shall be split between the parties based upon the pro-rata expenses incurred in such enforcement activities. Prior to any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of such enforcement activity Cyclone shall first seek FSDS’s written consent to such final disposition, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, after the sixty day period, Cyclone has elected not to take reasonable steps against the Infringement (or anytime thereafter is unsuccessful in, or abandons pursuing such Infringement), FSDS may, at its own expense and discretion, take whatever steps it deems necessary to stop the Infringement in the Territory in the Application. Cyclone shall reasonably assist FSDS with such FSDS’s enforcement activities, including being named as a party to litigation, at FSDS’s request and expense. FSDS shall have the sole right to all proceeds from such Infringement enforcement activities conducted by FSDS, and any reasonable legal expenses or costs for such Infringement enforcement activities conducted by FSDS shall be offset against any Royalty Fees due to Cyclone during and after FSDS’s Infringement enforcement activities. If the parties ultimately fail to stop, or choose not to stop, any material Infringement so that FSDS’s exclusivity to the Technology in the Application in the Territory is materially adversely affected, then FSDS shall have the option to (i) terminate this Agreement in writing; or (ii) convert this Agreement in writing to a non-exclusive license in which the royalty payments shall thereafter be 50% of the Royalty Fees.

5.2 Each party will execute all necessary and proper documents, take such actions as is reasonably necessary to allow the other party to institute and prosecute such infringement actions and will otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the institution and prosecution of such actions. Each party prosecuting any such infringement actions will keep the other party reasonably informed as to the status of such actions. Any award paid by third parties as a result of such an Infringement action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) will be applied first to reimburse the parties for all costs and expenses incurred by the parties with respect to such action on a pro rata basis in relation to the amount of costs and expenses so incurred by such party and, if after such reimbursement any funds will remain from such award, the parties will allocate such remaining funds between themselves in the same proportion as they have agreed in writing to bear the expenses of instituting and maintaining such action.

 

5.3 CYCLONE SHALL PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS FSDS AGAINST ANY LOSS, LIABILITY OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM (1) THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE BE ACTIVE, PASSIVE, SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, COMP ARATIVE, CONTRIBUTING OR GROSS), STRICT LIABILITY OR WILLFUL OR WANTON MISCONDUCT OF CYCLONE; (2) CYCLONE’S MANUFACTURE, DESIGN OR REPAIR OF THE CYCLONE ENGINE, (3) ANY ASSERTION OF THE INFRINGEMENT OF PATENT, TRADE SECRET, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES RELATED TO THE TECHNOLOGY, OR (4) ANY BREACH OR NON-FULFILLMENT OF ANY COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR OBLIGATION TO BE PERFORMED BY CYCLONE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT (“FSDS INDEMNIFIED CLAIMS”).

 

5.4 FSDS SHALL PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMN IFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS CYCLONE AGAINST ANY LOSS, LIABILITY OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM (1) THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE BE ACTIVE, PASSIVE, SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTING OR GROSS), STRICT LIABILITY OR WILLFUL OR WANTON MISCONDUCT OF FSDS; (2) FSDS’s MANUFACTURE, DESIGN OR REPAIR OF THE CYCLONE ENGINE, (3) ANY ASSERTION OF THE INFRINGEMENT OF PATENT, TRADE SECRET, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES RELATED TO THE FSDS DEFENSE/AEROSPACE IMPROVEMENTS, OR (4) ANY BREACH OR NON FULFILLMENT OF ANY COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR OBLIGATION TO BE PERFORMED BY FSDS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT (“CYCLONE INDEMNIFIED CLAIMS”).

5.5 The obligations to provide indemnity under Sections 5.3 and 5.4 are subject to the conditions that the party seeking indemnity (“Indemnified Party”):

 

(i) Provides prompt notice by fax, overnight courier or email with separate confirmation, of the initiation or existence of any suit or claim to the party obligated to provided indemnity (“Indemnifying Party”); and

 

(ii) Grants full opportunity to de fend, compromise or settle the same as Indemnifying Party may see fit; and

 

(iii) Provides every reasonable assistance from Indemnified Party which Indemnifying Party may, in its discretion, require in responding to any such claim or defending any such suit.

 

5.6 FSDS shall maintain product liability insurance covering the Cyclone Engines manufactured and/or sold by FSDS, in such amounts and with such coverage provisions as FSDS shall determine in its discretion, and shall have Cylcone included in the coverage of such policy or policies as an additional insured.

 

6. Improvements

 

6.1 FSDS may from time to time make improvements, changes, advances and/or modifications to the Technology that concern or relate to the Applications (hereinafter “FSDS Defense/Aerospace Improvements”). Any and all FSDS Defense/Aerospace Improvements shall be the property of FSDS, and FSDS shall not be obligated to disclose the FSDS Defense/Aerospace Improvements to Cyclone nor grant a license to Cyclone in the FSDS Defense/Aerospace Improvements. Further, FSDS will own the entire right, title and interest in any and all patent applications resulting from or relating to any and all FSDS Defense/Aerospace Improvements, whether filed in the United States or countries other than the United States, related to the FSDS Defense/Aerospace Improvements; and in and to any and all patents which may be issued/granted on any and all said applications and any and all reissues thereof. By way of example and without limitation to the foregoing, FSDS may make modifications that allow the Cyclone Engine to function within an auxiliary power unit that is designed and developed by FSDS for use in a defense vehicle or defense apparatus, which will include modifications required to meet the defense or military specifications required for such use. All such modifications will be FSDS Defense/Aerospace Improvements. FSDS will disclose to Cyclone any other improvements, changes, advances and/or modifications to the Technology developed by FSDS which are not FSDS Defense/Aerospace Improvements and FSDS hereby grants to Cyclone a world-wide, royalty free license to use such FSDS improvements, which are not FSDS Defense/Aerospace Improvements, for all purposes other than those concerning or relating to the Applications. The determination of whether or not an improvement change, advance and/or modification to the Technology by FSDS is an FSDS Defense /Aerospace Improvements will be decided by FSDS in its sole discretion.

Cyclone’s abandonment of or any failure to obtain or maintain an issued patent originating from any of the patents or patent applications will not relieve or release FSDS from its obligation to pay the Royalty Fees provided in this Agreement, provided Cyclone can show that material rights to exclude competitors from practicing the Technology in the Application in the Territory are still in place to provide FSDS a valuable exclusive right under this Agreement in the Territory. Similarly, a holding or decision by a court of law or any patent office that any such issued patent is invalid or unenforceable will not relieve or release FSDS from its obligation to pay the Royalty Fees provided in this Agreement, provided Cyclone can show that material rights to exclude competitors from practicing the Technology in the Application in the Territory are still in place to provide FSDS a valuable exclusive right under this Agreement in the Territory. If any of such events occur, FSDS must continue to pay any Royalty Fees due during the Term. If Cyclone cannot show that material rights to exclude competitors from practicing the Technology are still in place in the Territory after abandonment, invalidation, or unenforceability has occurred or been held by a court or patent office, then FSDS shall have the option to (i) terminate this Agreement in writing; or (ii) convert this Agreement in writing to a non -exclusive license in which the royalty payments shall thereafter be 50% of the Royalty Fees.

 

6.5 If Cyclone undergoes (i) any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency code or similar law, whether voluntary or involuntary, is properly commenced by or against Cyclone: or (ii) a trustee or receiver is appointed for any or all of Cyclone’s assets, then: (a) this License Agreement will continue in full force and effect understanding FSDS has paid good and valuable consideration for the rights hereunder as provided herein; and (b) should under any bankruptcy or receivership proceedings the Technology be transferred or sold to a third party, the prior to such event occurring, FSDS shall have a 30-day right of first refusal to purchase outright such Technology.

 

7. Default

 

7.1 This Agreement will terminate immediately if FSDS is dissolved or liquidated. This Agreement will also terminate immediately absent an adequate written assurance of future performance if: (i) any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings under any federal, national, or state bankruptcy or insolvency code or similar law, whether voluntary or involuntary, is properly commenced by or against FSDS; or (ii) FSDS becomes insolvent, is unable to pay debts as they come due or ceases to so pay, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors ; or (iii) a trustee or receiver is appointed for any or all of FSDS’s assets.
