OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Notes to Condensed Con s olidated June 30, 2019 Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1: Nature of Business and Business Presentation
 
Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation is currently in the businesses of:
 
OTEC and SWAC/LWAC —designing ocean thermal energy conversion (“OTEC”) power plants and seawater air conditioning and lake water air conditioning (“SWAC/LWAC”) plants for large commercial properties, utilities, and municipalities. These technologies provide practical solutions to mankind’s three oldest and most fundamental needs: clean drinking water, plentiful food, and sustainable, affordable energy without the use of fossil fuels. OTEC is a clean technology that continuously extracts energy from the temperature difference between warm surface ocean water and cold deep seawater. In addition to producing electricity, some of the seawater running through an OTEC plant can be efficiently desalinated using the power generated by the OTEC technology, producing thousands of cubic meters of fresh water every day for use in agriculture and human consumption in the communities served by its plants. This cold, deep, nutrient-rich water can also be used to cool buildings (SWAC/LWAC) and for fish farming/aquaculture. In short, it is a technology with many benefits, and its versatility makes OTEC unique.
 
EcoVillages developing and commercializing our EcoVillages, as well as working to develop or acquire new complementary assets. EcoVillages are communities whose goal is to become more socially, economically, and ecologically sustainable. EcoVillages are communities whose inhabitants seek to live according to ecological principles, causing as little impact on the environment as possible. We expect that our EcoVillage communities will range from a population of 50 to 150 individuals, although some may be smaller. We may also form larger EcoVillages, of up to 2,000 individuals, as networks of smaller sub communities. We expect that our EcoVillages will grow by the addition of individuals, families, or other small groups.
 
We expect to use our technology in the development of our EcoVillages, which should add significant value to our existing line of business .
   
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature necessary for presentation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
 
We condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with GAAP. The operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. Our interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, including the financial statements and notes.

Use of Estimates
 
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in valuation of equity-based transactions, valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of deferred tax assets, and depreciable lives of property and equipment.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we had no cash equivalents.
 
Income Taxes
 
We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on the amount of operating loss carry-forwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.
 
Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards may be substantially limited due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50.0% of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups.
 
We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since we became a “loss corporation” under the definition of Section 382. If we have experienced an ownership change, utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code, which is determined by first multiplying the value of our stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Further, until a study is completed and any limitation known, no positions related to limitations are being considered as an uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax benefit. Any carryforwards that expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, it is not expected that any possible limitation will have an impact on our results of operations or financial position.  
 
Business Segments
 
We conduct operations in various foreign jurisdictions where we are developing projects to use our technology. Our segments are based on the location of these projects. The U.S. territories segment consists of projects in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam; and the other segment currently consists of projects in the Cayman Islands. Direct revenues and costs, depreciation, depletion, and amortization costs, general and administrative costs, and other income directly associated with their respective segments are detailed within the following discussion. Identifiable net property and equipment are reported by business segment for management reporting and reportable business segment disclosure purposes. Current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and long-term debt are not allocated to business segments for management reporting or business segment disclosure purposes.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, $892,639 of Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands assets under construction were considered to be impaired due to the uncertainty of the projects and were written off; consequently, there were no assets under construction as of June 30, 2019.
  
Property and Equipment
 
Furniture, equipment, and software are recorded at cost and include major expenditures that increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives.
 
Maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. When furniture, vehicles, or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.
 
Assets under construction represent costs incurred by us for our renewable energy systems currently in process. Generally, all costs incurred during the development stage of our projects are capitalized and tracked on an individual project basis and are included in construction in progress until the project has been placed into service. If a project is abandoned, the associated costs that have been capitalized are charged to expense in the year of abandonment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Interest costs incurred during the construction period of defined major projects from debt that is specifically incurred for those projects are capitalized.
 
Direct labor costs incurred for specific major projects expected to have long-term benefits are capitalized. Direct labor costs subject to capitalization include employee salaries, as well as related payroll taxes and benefits. With respect to the allocation of salaries to projects, salaries are allocated based on the percentage of hours that our key managers, engineers, and scientists work on each project. These individuals track their time worked at each project. Major projects are generally defined as projects expected to exceed $500,000. Direct labor includes all of the time incurred by employees directly involved with construction and development activities. Time spent in general and indirect management and in evaluating the feasibility of potential projects is expensed when incurred.
 
We capitalize costs incurred once the project has met the project feasibility stage. Costs include environmental engineering, permits, government approval, and site engineering costs. We capitalize direct interest costs associated with the projects. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, we have no interest costs capitalized for any of these projects.
 
The cost of furniture, vehicles, equipment, and software is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives and accumulated depreciation for land, buildings, furniture, vehicles, equipment, and software are as follows:

Fair Value
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
 
Level 1–Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
 
Level 2–Pricing inputs are quoted for similar assets or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes assets or liabilities valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these investments.
 
Level 3–Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets or liabilities; that is, the inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
Management believes the carrying amounts of the short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, deferred compensation, and other liabilities reflected in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value at June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.
 
We account for derivative liability at fair value on a recurring basis under level 3 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (see Note 5).
 
Concentrations
 
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are deposited with major financial institutions, and at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC-insured limits. Management believes the risk in these situations to be minimal. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, $0 and $0, respectively, were deposited in excess of FDIC-insured limits.
 
Loss per Share
 
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing our net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing our net loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. We have 350,073 and 284,073 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and 52,334,858 and 9,697,398 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is antidilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2018. The adoption of the ASU did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers . The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the goods or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We adopted the provisions of this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
 
We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Based on that review, we believe that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on current or future earnings or operations.
 
Note 3: Going Concern
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had a net loss of $921,846 and used $340,557 of cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We had a working capital deficiency of $18,161,093 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $18,328,927 as of June 30, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to increase sales and obtain external funding for our projects under development. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
  Note 4: Convertible Notes and Notes Payable
 
On December 12, 2006, we borrowed funds from the Southeast Idaho Council of Governments (SICOG), the EDA-#180 loan. The interest rate is 6.25%, and the maturity date was January 5, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we made a repayment of $2,327. The loan principal was $7,052 with accrued interest of $0 as of June 30, 2019. This note is in default.
 
On December 23, 2009, we borrowed funds from SICOG, the EDA-#273 loan. The interest rate is 7%, and the maturity date was December 23, 2014. The loan principal was $94,480 with accrued interest of $21,172 as of June 30, 2019. This note is in default.
 
On December 23, 2009, we borrowed funds from SICOG, the MICRO I-#274 loan and MICRO II-#275 loan. The interest rate is 7%, and the maturity date was December 23, 2014. The loan principal was $47,239 with accrued interest of $10,502 as of June 30, 2019. These notes are in default.
 
On December 1, 2007, we borrowed funds from the Eastern Idaho Development Corporation and the Economic Development Corporation. The interest rate is 7%, and the maturity date was September 1, 2015. The loan principal was $85,821 with accrued interest of $42,435 as of June 30, 2019. This note is in default.
 
On September 25, 2009, we borrowed funds from the Pocatello Development Authority. The interest rate is 5%, and the maturity date was October 25, 2011. The loan principal was $50,000 with accrued interest of $21,997 as of June 30, 2019. This note is in default.
 
On March 12, 2015, we combined convertible notes issued in 2010, 2011, and 2012, payable to our officers and directors in the aggregate principal amount of $320,246, plus accrued but unpaid interest of $74,134, into a single, $394,380 consolidated convertible note (the “Consolidated Note”). The Consolidated Note was assigned to JPF Venture Group, Inc., an investment entity that is majority-owned by Jeremy Feakins, our director, chief executive officer, and chief financial officer. The Consolidated Note was convertible to common stock at $0.025 per share, the approximate market price of our common stock as of the date of the issuance. On February 24, 2017, the Consolidated Note was amended to eliminate the conversion feature. The Consolidated Note bears interest at 6% per annum and is due and payable within 90 days after demand. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding loan balance was $394,380 and the accrued but unpaid interest was $107,102 on the Consolidated Note.
 
During 2016 and 2015, we borrowed $75,000 from JPF Venture Group, Inc. pursuant to promissory notes. The terms of the notes are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per annum; (ii) the notes are payable 90 days after demand; and (iii) payee is authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share each for $0.03 of principal amount of the note. This conversion share price was adjusted to $0.01384 for the reverse stock splits. As of December 31, 2018, we have recorded a debt discount of $75,000 for the fair value derivative liability and fully amortized the debt discount. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance was $75,000, plus accrued interest of $14,436.

During 2016, we borrowed $112,500 from JPF Venture Group, Inc. pursuant to promissory notes. The terms of the notes are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per annum; (ii) the notes are payable 90 days after demand; and (iii) payee is authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share for each $0.03 of principal amount of the note. On February 24, 2017, the notes were amended to eliminate the conversion features. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance was $112,500, plus accrued interest of $21,590.
 
On October 20, 2016, we borrowed $12,500 from an independent director pursuant to a promissory note. The terms of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per annum; (ii) the note is payable 90 days after demand; and (iii) the payee is authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share for each $0.03 of principal amount of the note. This conversion share price was adjusted to $0.01384 for the reverse stock splits. As of December 31, 2018, we have recorded a debt discount of $12,500 for the fair value of derivative liability and fully amortized the debt discount. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance was $12,500, plus accrued interest of $2,131.
 
During 2012, we issued a note payable for $1,000,000. The note had an interest rate of 10% per annum, was secured by a first lien in all of our assets, and was due on February 3, 2015. On March 6, 2018, the note was amended to extend the due date to December 31, 2018, On March 29, 2019, the maturity date of the note was extended to December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance was $1,000,000, plus accrued interest of $687,226.
 
During 2013, we issued Series B units. Each unit is comprised of a note agreement, a $50,000 promissory note that matures on September 30, 2023, and bears interest at 10% per annum payable annually in arrears, and a security agreement. During 2013, we issued $525,000 of 10% promissory notes. As of June 30, 2019, the loan balance was $158,334 and the accrued interest was $92,908.
 
During 2013, we issued a note payable for $290,000 in connection with the reverse merger transaction with Broadband Network Affiliates, Inc. We have determined that no further payment of principal or interest on this note should be made because the note holder failed to perform his underlying obligations giving rise to this note. As described in the litigation section of this filing, the note holder filed suit on May 21, 2019, and we remain confident that the court will decide in our favor by either voiding the note or awarding damages sufficient to offset the note value. As of June 30, 2019, the balance outstanding was $130,000, and the accrued interest as of that date was $56,086. This note is in default.
 
On January 18, 2018, Jeremy P. Feakins & Associates, LLC, an investment entity owned by our chief executive, chief financial officer, and a director, agreed to extend the due date for repayment of a $2,265,000 note issued in 2014 to the earlier of December 31, 2018, or the date of the financial closings of our Baha Mar project (or any other project of $25 million or more), whichever occurs first. As of June 30, 2019, the note balance was $1,102,500 and the accrued interest was $578,200. This note is in default.
 
We have $300,000 in principal amount of outstanding notes due to unrelated parties, issued in 2014, in default since 2015, accruing interest at a default rate of 22%. We intend to repay the notes and accrued interest upon the Baha Mar SWAC/LWAC project’s financial closing. Accrued interest totaled $280,229 as of June 30, 2019. The note is in default.
 
The due date of April 7, 2017, on a $50,000 promissory note with an unaffiliated investor, was extended to April 7, 2019. The note and accrued interest can be converted into our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.75 per share at any time prior to the repayment. This conversion price is not required to adjust for the reverse stock split as per the note agreement. Accrued interest totaled $21,431 as of June 30, 2019. The note is in default.
 
On March 9, 2017, an entity owned and controlled by our chief executive officer agreed to provide up to $200,000 in working capital. The note bears interest of 10% and is due and payable within 90 days of demand. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we received an additional $2,000 and repaid $25,000. As of June 30, 2019, the balance outstanding was $177,000, plus accrued interest of $41,750.
 
During the third quarter of 2017, we completed a $2,000,000 convertible promissory note private placement offering. The terms of the notes are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per annum; (ii) the notes are payable two years after purchase; and (iii) all principal and interest on each note automatically converts on the conversion maturity date into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.00 per share, as long as the closing share price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion maturity date is at least $4.00, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification, and the like. If the price of our shares on such date is less than $4.00 per share, the notes (principal and interest) will be repaid in full. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance for all four notes was $80,000, plus accrued interest of $9,400. As of the date of this report, the notes are in default.
 
On November 6, 2017, we entered into an agreement and promissory note with JPF Venture Group, Inc. to loan up to $2,000,000 to us. The terms of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 10% per annum; (ii) all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable at the earliest of a resolution of the Memphis litigation (as defined therein), December 31, 2018, or when we are otherwise able to pay. During the first quarter of 2019, we repaid $5,000. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance was $607,093 and the accrued interest was $111,208. This note is in default.

In December 2017, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued a series of unsecured promissory notes to accredited investors. These notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a quarterly basis and are not convertible into shares of our capital stock. The notes are payable within five business days after receipt of gross proceeds of at least $1,500,000 from L2 Capital, LLC, an unaffiliated Kansas limited liability company (“L2 Capital”). We may prepay the notes in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, on or before the maturity date of July 30, 2019. In connection with the issuance of the notes, for each note purchased, the note holder received a warrant as follows:
 
● $10,000 note with a warrant to purchase 2,000 shares
 
● $20,000 note with a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares
 
● $25,000 note with a warrant to purchase 6,500 shares
 
● $30,000 note with a warrant to purchase 8,000 shares
 
● $40,000 note with a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares
 
● $50,000 note with a warrant to purchase 14,000 shares

Note 5: Derivative Liability
 
We measure the fair value of our assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement.
 
On August 19, 2018, we defaulted in payment of the note issued to L2 Capital on February 19, 2018. In accordance with the terms of the note, at any time on or after the occurrence of any event of default, the conversion price per share would adjust to the lesser of $0.50 or 65% multiplied by the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock during the 20-trading-day period ending, in L2 Capital’s sole discretion on each conversion, on either the last complete trading day prior to the conversion date or the conversion date. We identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued. We have determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option should be accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability. We have elected to account for these instruments together with fixed conversion price instruments as derivative liabilities as we cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

Note 7: Commitments and Contingencies
 
Commitments
 
On December 11, 2017, we entered into an equity purchase agreement with L2 Capital, LLC, for up to $15,000,000. As provided in the agreement, we may require L2 Capital to purchase shares of common stock from time to time by delivering a “put” notice to L2 Capital specifying the total number of shares to be purchased. L2 Capital will pay a purchase price equal to 85% of the “market price,” which is defined as the lowest traded price on the OTCQB marketplace during the five consecutive trading days following the “put date,” or the date on which the applicable shares are delivered to L2 Capital. The number of shares may not exceed 300% of the average daily trading volume for our common stock during the five trading days preceding the date on which we deliver the applicable put notice. Additionally, such amount may not be lower than $10,000 or higher than $1,000,000. L2 Capital has no obligation to purchase shares under this agreement to the extent that such purchase would cause L2 Capital to own more than 4.99% of our common stock. Upon the execution of this agreement, we issued 1,714,285 shares of common stock valued at $514,286 as a commitment fee in connection with the agreement. The shares to be issued pursuant to this agreement were covered by a Registration Statement on Form S-1 effective on January 29, 2018, with a post-effective amendment effective April 15, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we did not execute any put options with L2 Capital to purchase any shares of common stock.
 
On June 26, 2017, we entered a nonexclusive finder’s arrangement with Craft Capital Management LLC (“Craft”) in the event that proceeds with a debt and/or equity transaction or to finance a merger/acquisition and/or another transaction are arranged by Craft. We have no obligation to consummate any transaction, and we can choose to accept or reject any transaction in our sole and absolute discretion. Upon the successful completion of a placement, we will pay to Craft 8% of the gross proceeds from an equity placement and 3% for a debt placement. In addition, we will issue to Craft, at the time of closing, warrants with an aggregate exercise price equal to 3% of the amount raised. As of June 30, 2019, we have outstanding warrants to purchase 56,073 shares of common stock for L2 Capital equity transactions and warrants to purchase 69,000 shares of common stock for L2 Capital debt transactions for a total outstanding of warrants to purchase 125,073 shares of common stock, none of which has been exercised. These warrants have a fair value of $13,280 based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The warrants have exercise prices ranging from $0.0425 to $0.25 per share and are exercisable for a period of five years after the closing of the placement. If we, at any time while these warrants are outstanding, sell or grant any option to purchase or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of common stock, at an effective price per share less than the then-exercise price, then the exercise price will be reduced to equal the lower share price, at the option of Craft. Such adjustment will be made whenever such common stock is issued. We will notify Craft in writing, no later than the trading day following the issuance of any common stock, of the applicable issuance price or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, and other pricing terms.
  
Litigation
 
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and regulatory proceedings arising from operations. We establish reserves for specific liabilities in connection with legal actions that management deems to be probable and estimable.
 
On May 4, 2018, we reached a settlement of the claims at issue in Ocean Thermal Energy Corp. v. Robert Coe, et al. , Case No. 2:17-cv-02343SHL-cgc, before the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. On August 8, 2018, an $8 million federal court judgment was entered against the defendants and in our favor. We believe the defendants have adequate assets to satisfy this judgment in full. During 2018, we received three payments totaling $100,000 from the defendants. We have not received any additional payments during the first six months of 2019. The collection process is ongoing.

On May 21, 2019, Theodore T. Herman filed a complaint against us in Theodore T. Herman v. Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation , Case No. CI-19-04780, in the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, asserting that he is entitled to payment on the promissory note described in Note 4: Convertible Notes and Notes Payable. On July 1, 2019, we filed Preliminary Objections to the complaint, and we will continue to defend our position that no further payment of principal or interest on this note is owed.
 
Consulting Agreements
 
On June 4, 2018, we entered into a consulting agreement to pay 20,000 shares of common stock when one of the conditions of the contract was satisfied. Although this condition was satisfied on August 31, 2018, as of June 30, 2019, we have not issued the shares. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we have accrued the share compensation at fair value totaling $1,600.
 
On August 14, 2018, we entered into a consulting agreement to pay $40,000 by issuing shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2019, we have not issued the shares and have accrued the amount.
 
Employment Agreements
 
On January 1, 2011, we entered into a five-year employment agreement with our chief executive officer, which provides for successive one-year term renewals unless it is expressly cancelled by either party 100 days prior to the end of the term. Under the agreement, our chief executive officer will receive an annual salary of $350,000, a car allowance of $12,000, and company-paid health insurance. The agreement also provides for bonuses equal to one times his annual salary plus 500,000 shares of common stock for each additional project that generates $25 million or more in revenue to us. Our chief executive officer is entitled to receive severance pay in the lesser amount of three years’ salary or 100% of the remaining salary if the remaining term is less than three years.
 
On June 29, 2017, the board of directors approved extending the employment agreements for the chief executive officer and the senior financial advisor for an additional five years. The salary and other compensation were increased to account for inflation since the original employment agreements were executed and became effective June 30, 2017. These modifications were never reduced to writing.
 
Note 8: Related-Party Transactions
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid rent of $60,000 to a company controlled by our chief executive officer under an operating lease agreement.
 
On January 18, 2018, the due date of a 2015 related-party note payable was extended to the earlier of December 31, 2018, or the date of the financial closings of our Baha Mar Project (or any other project of $25 million or more), whichever occurs first. The balance on the note payable was $1,102,500 and accrued interest was $578,200 as of June 30, 2019.
 
On March 9, 2017, we issued a promissory note payable of $200,000 to a related party in which our chief executive officer is an officer and director. The note bears interest of 10% and is due and payable within 90 days after demand. The outstanding balance was $177,000 and accrued interest was $41,750 as of June 30, 2019.
 
On November 6, 2017, we entered into an agreement and promissory note with JPF Venture Group, Inc. to loan up to $2,000,000 to us. The terms of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 10% per annum; (ii) all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest are due and payable at the earliest of resolution of the Memphis litigation (as defined therein), December 31, 2018, or when we are otherwise able to pay. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance was $607,093 and the accrued interest was $111,208. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repaid $5,000. This note is in default.
 
We remain liable for the loans made to us by JPF Venture Group before JPF Venture Group was an affiliate. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance of these loans was $581,880 and the accrued interest was $143,129.
 
On June 27, 2019, JPF Venture Group, an entity in which our chief executive officer is an officer and director, agreed to provide a short-term advance to us for working capital in the amount of $32,000.

I TEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed elsewhere in this report.
 
Certain information included herein contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements such as statements relating to our anticipated revenues, gross margins and operating results, estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, future performance and operations, plans for future expansion, capital spending, sources of liquidity, and financing sources. Forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, and accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These risks and uncertainties include those relating to our liquidity requirements; the continued growth of our industry; the success of marketing and sales activity; the dependence on existing management; the availability and cost of substantial amounts of project capital; leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates); domestic and global economic conditions; the inherent uncertainty and costs of prolonged arbitration or litigation; and changes in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws.
 
Overview
 
We develop projects for renewable power generation, desalinated water production, and air conditioning using our proprietary technologies designed to extract energy from the temperature differences between warm surface water and cold deep water. In addition, our projects can provide ancillary products such as potable/bottle water and high-profit aquaculture, mariculture, and agriculture opportunities.
 
We currently have no source of revenue, so as we continue to incur costs we are dependent on external funding in order to continue. We cannot assure that such funding will be available or, if available, can be obtained on acceptable or favorable terms.
 
Our operating expenses consist principally of expenses associated with the development of our projects until we determine that a particular project is feasible. Salaries and wages consist primarily of employee salaries and wages, payroll taxes, and health insurance. Our professional fees are related to consulting, engineering, legal, investor relations, outside accounting, and auditing expenses. General and administrative expenses include travel, insurance, rent, marketing, and miscellaneous office expenses. The interest expense includes interest and discounts related to our loans and notes payable.
 
Results of Operations
 
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 
 
We had no revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we had salaries and wages of $163,428, compared to salaries and wages of $288,958 during the same three-month period for 2018, a decrease of 43.4%, which can be attributed to decreasing our staff due to the lack of cash flow.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded professional fees of $97,006 and $663,731, respectively, a decrease of 86.4%, due primarily to reduced use of outside consultants during the second quarter of 2019.
 
We incurred general and administrative expenses of $69,728 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $192,071 for the same three-month period for 2018, a 63.7% decrease. Management made a concerted effort to reduce general and administrative expenses due to lack of cash flow.
 
Our interest expense was $230,395 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $174,610 for the same period of the previous year, an increase of 31.9% due to increased debt and higher interest rates on defaulted notes.
 
We issued 2,300,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for services valued at $159,337 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and $0 for the same period in 2018.
 
Our debt discount amortization was $9,998 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $63,259 for the same period of the previous year. A decrease of 84.2% is due to the fact that debt discount was fully amortized in the previous year. There was change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $40,337 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and $0 for the same period in 2018.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 
 
We had no revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had salaries and wages of $315,845, compared to salaries and wages of $618,947 during the same six-month period for 2018, a decrease of 49.0%, which can be attributed to decreasing our staff due to the lack of cash flow.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded professional fees of $301,571 and $870,968, respectively, a decrease of 65.4%, due primarily to reduced use of outside consultants during the first six months of 2019.
 
We incurred general and administrative expenses of $130,165 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $419,059 for the same six-month period for 2018, a 60.8% decrease. Management made a concerted effort to reduce general and administrative expenses due to lack of cash flow.
 
Our interest expense was $443,098 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $335,925 for the same period of the previous year, an increase of 31.9% due to increased debt and higher interest rates on defaulted notes.
 
We issued 2,300,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for services valued at $159,337 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and $0 for the same period in 2018.
 
Our debt discount amortization was $23,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $89,540 for the same period of the previous year. A decrease of 73.4% is due to the fact that debt discount was fully amortized in the previous year. There was change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $452,009 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, and $0 for the same period in 2018.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At June 30, 2019, our principal source of liquidity consisted of $27,514 of cash, as compared to $8,398 of cash at December 31, 2018. In addition, our stockholders’ deficiency was $18,328,927 at June 30, 2019, compared to stockholders’ deficiency of $17,769,177 at December 31, 2018, an increase in the deficiency of $559,750.
 
Our operations used net cash of $340,557 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to using net cash of $1,376,867 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of 75.3%. Decrease in net cash used in operations is due to the overall decrease in net loss of approximately $1.3 million, which was offset by the increase in change of derivative liability of $452,009 during the first six months of 2019.
 
Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, used cash of $0 and $30,000, respectively. All of the assets under construction were written off as of December 31, 2018. Cash used in investing during the first six months of 2018 was an increase in our assets under construction.
 
Financing activities provided cash of $359,673 for our operations during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $1,057,122 for the first six months in 2018, a decrease of 66.0%. In the first six months of 2019, we received $310,000 from notes payable as compared to $1,104,243 in the same period of 2018. We also received $25,000 from the sale of Series B Preferred Stock during the first six months of 2019 and $0 during the same period in 2018.
 
Our Capital Resources and Anticipated Requirements
 
As noted above, at June 30, 2019, we had negative working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $18,161,093. We are now focusing our efforts on promoting and marketing our technology by developing and executing contracts. We are exploring external funding alternatives, as our current cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months.
 
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit. Our ability to continue our operations as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. We will require additional funding to finance the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives. If we are unable to access the L2 Capital equity line as described above, we believe our current available cash may be insufficient to meet our cash needs for the near future. We cannot assure that the L2 Capital equity line or other financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all. Further, we cannot assure that we will be able to collect all or any portion of our judgment against third parties as discussed above. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 4 . CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, in the reports that we file or submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to in this periodic report as our Certifying Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2019, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance as of June 30, 2019, because certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted material weaknesses, as discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
  
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
A system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the system will meet its objectives. The design of a control system is based, in part, upon the benefits of the control system relative to its costs. Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. In addition, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On July 1, 2019, we filed Preliminary Objections to the complaint, and we will continue to defend our position that no further payment of principal or interest on this note is owed.

On December 12, 2006, we borrowed funds from SICOG (EDA-#180 loan). The interest rate is 6.25%, and the maturity date was January 5, 2013. The loan principal is $7,052 and the accrued interest is $0 as of June 30, 2019. This note is in default.

During 2013, we issued a note payable for $290,000 in connection with the reverse merger transaction with Broadband Network Affiliates, Inc. We have determined that no further payment of principal or interest on this note should be made because the note holder failed to perform his underlying obligations giving rise to this note. As described in the litigation section of this filing, the note holder filed suit on May 21, 2019, and we remain confident that the court will decide in our favor by either voiding the note or awarding damages sufficient to offset the note value. As of June 30, 2019, the balance outstanding was $130,000, and the accrued interest as of that date was $56,086. This note is in default.
 
During 2014, we issued note payables of $300,000. Accrued interest totaled $280,229 as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the notes are in default. Due to the delay in opening of the Baha Mar Resort, our Baha Mar SWAC project’s financial closing was delayed causing us to default on the notes. We intend to repay the notes and accrued interest upon the project’s financial closing.
 
The due date of April 7, 2017, on a $50,000 promissory note with an unaffiliated investor, was extended to April 7, 2019. The note and accrued interest can be converted into our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.75 per share at any time prior to the repayment. This conversion price is not required to adjust for the reverse stock split as per the note agreement. Accrued interest totaled $21,431 as of June 30, 2019. As of the date of this report, the note is in default.
 
In December 2017, we entered into a series of unsecured promissory notes and warrant purchase agreements with accredited investors. These notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a quarterly basis and are not convertible into shares of our capital stock. As of June 30, 2019, the balance outstanding was $979,156 and the accrued interest was $117,482. As of June 30, 2019, $21,367 of the principal payments of two notes is due and in default.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we borrowed $482,222 from L2 Capital in five separate tranches. The interest rate is 8%, and the maturity dates are six months from the date of issue. The outstanding loan balance was $604,719, which includes the default penalty and the accrued interest was $85,010 as of June 30, 2019. These notes are in default. On April 4, 2019, L2 Capital converted $12,383 of the loans outstanding into an additional 500,000 shares of common stock. On May 8, 2019, L2 Capital converted $12,350 of the loans outstanding into an additional 500,000 shares of common stock.

On December 14, 2018, L2 Capital LLC purchased our note payable from Collier Investments, LLC. The total consideration was $371,250, including the outstanding note balance of $281,250, the accrued interest of $33,750, and liquidated damages of $56,250. There was also a default penalty of $153,123. In addition, we issued 400,000 shares of common stock to L2 Capital, LLC as commitment shares with a fair value of $21,200 in connection with the purchase of the note. We executed a convertible note with L2 Capital in the amount of $371,250 with an interest rate of 12% per annum. The maturity date of the note is December 22, 2018. The holder of the note can convert the note, or any portion of it, into shares of common stock at any time after the issuance date. The conversion price is 65% of the market price, which is defined as the lowest trading price for our common stock during the 20-trading-day period prior to the conversion date. As of December 31, 2018, we have recorded a debt discount of $665,690 for the fair value of derivative liability and fully amortized the debt discount. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance was $474,759, which includes a default penalty, and the accrued interest was $33,148. This note is in default.
 
During the third quarter of 2017, we completed a $2,000,000 convertible promissory note private placement offering. The terms of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per annum; (ii) the note is payable two years after purchase; and (iii) all principal and interest on each note automatically converts on the conversion maturity date into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.00 per share, as long as the closing share price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion maturity date is at least $4.00, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification, and the like. If the price of our shares on such date is less than $4.00 per share, the note (principal and interest) will be repaid in full. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance for all four notes was $80,000, plus accrued interest of $9,400. The notes are in default.
 
In December 2017, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued a series of unsecured promissory notes to accredited investors. These notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a quarterly basis and are not convertible into shares of our capital stock. The notes are payable within five business days after receipt of gross proceeds of at least $1,500,000 from L2 Capital, LLC, an unaffiliated Kansas limited liability company (“L2 Capital”). We may prepay the notes in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, on or before the maturity date of July 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the balance outstanding was $979,156 and the accrued interest was $117,482. the notes are in default.
