Overview

 

For the last three years, we have been focused exclusively on efforts to develop a business centered around our metallic lithium battery technology.

 

On February 25, 2009, we entered into a Technology License Agreement with the Amendola Family Trust, a trust created by Steven Amendola. Pursuant to the License Agreement, we acquired an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use certain proprietary technology for manufacturing metallic lithium for use in batteries and other applications. We believe this technology allows for the manufacture of metallic lithium more efficiently and more inexpensively than current methods.

 

Commencing in October 2010, working through a third party, we conducted a series of tests in a production environment to determine if the process covered by the Amendola patent works. The testing involved feeding lithium carbonate solution into an electrolysis tank containing a liquid metal cathode and an anode suspended in the lithium carbonate solution. Based on the results of this preliminary testing, we believe that the process is workable and can be scaled-up to a commercially feasible level.

 

On February 23, 2011, we entered into an Option Agreement with MXL Leasing, LP to prepare for the commercial manufacture of lithium metal and, subject to the terms of a definitive agreement, commence commercial manufacturing of lithium metal.

 

In 2011, we devoted our resources to developing our metallic lithium battery technology, from the lab bench to the manufacturing floor, in large part, through the efforts of MXL Leasing’s scientists and technicians. We believe that we have advanced the state of this technology and are taking preliminary steps in order to begin manufacturing product by the end of 2012. To achieve this end, however, additional funds will need to be raised, as to which there can be no assurance.

 

Metallic Lithium Technology License

 

On February 25, 2009, we entered into a Technology License Agreement with the Amendola Family Trust, a trust created by Steven Amendola. Pursuant to the License Agreement, we acquired an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use certain proprietary technology for manufacturing metallic lithium for use in batteries and other applications. We believe this technology allows for the manufacture of metallic lithium more efficiently and more inexpensively than current methods. Lithium batteries are used in cell phones, digital cameras, i-pods and many other high technology devices and applications.

More broadly, the License Agreement grants to us the rights to use, further license, sublicense and subcontract the technology to third parties for the purification, manufacture, purchase of components, quality inspection, assembly, testing, installation, commissioning and operation of the manufacturing process and sale of metallic lithium in or for batteries and related devices and other fields. A patent application relating to the licensed technology is pending.

 

In consideration for the license grant, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to the Amendola Family Trust, and have agreed to pay the licensor a royalty of: (i) $1.00 per kilogram of lithium product manufactured and sold, and (ii) in the event sodium is produced out of the manufacture of lithium, $0.10 per kilogram of sodium manufactured and sold. The royalty is payable by us quarterly and subject to audit rights by the licensor.

 

Additionally, we have agreed to issue to the Amendola Family Trust a further 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, but which shares are restricted and subject to forfeiture if there has not been at least $1,000,000 in total commercial sales of licensed products by February 25, 2012 (three years after the date of the License Agreement).

 

We have also agreed to issue to the Amendola Family Trust, an option, exercisable only in the event commercial sales reach $1,000,000 as noted above and for five years after the date of the License Agreement, to purchase up to such number of shares of our common stock (“option shares”) such that the option shares, when added to the number of shares of common owned by the Amendola Family Trust or any of its affiliates prior to exercise of the option, will be equal to 19% of the total number of outstanding shares of our common stock after the exercise of the option, at an exercise price that is the same price as then current sales by us of our shares during the term of the License Agreement.

 

Steven Amendola, the executor of the Amendola Family Trust, has 25 years of scientific experience focused on metallurgy, chemistry and alternate energy. He holds more than 20 issued patents in these fields with others currently pending. Mr. Amendola developed the basic technology used by Millennium Cell, Inc. (a hydrogen development company) and is currently founder and Chief Executive Officer of RSI Silicon Products LLC (a silicon cell manufacturer for solar energy).

 

Metallic lithium is distinguishable from other existing forms of battery technology in that it has a higher energy density than zinc or nickel compounds used in conventional batteries. The market for metallic lithium is now in excess of $1.0 billion according to independent industry sources and, we believe, steadily increasing. There are a number of much larger and more established firms in the business of manufacturing metallic lithium. It is our belief that utilizing our new patent pending process we would have a significant advantage in manufacturing costs over the existing companies in the field, although no assurance can be given.

 

Preliminary Tests of Technology

 

Commencing in October 2010, working through a third party, we conducted a series of tests in a production environment to determine if the process covered by the Amendola patent works. The testing involved feeding lithium carbonate solution into an electrolysis tank containing a liquid metal cathode and an anode suspended in the lithium carbonate solution. Based on the results of this preliminary testing, we believe that the process is workable and can be scaled-up to a commercially feasible level. We intend to bring in a seasoned management team to take the necessary steps to implement this process.

 

Commercial Manufacturing Agreement

 

On February 23, 2011, we entered into an Option Agreement with MXL Leasing, LP to prepare for the commercial manufacture of lithium metal and, subject to the terms of a definitive agreement, commence commercial manufacturing of lithium metal. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, we issued to MXL Leasing an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share for a period of five years.

Market and Opportunity

 

Lithium is the lightest of all metals, has a high energy density and is used in a variety of industrial applications, including consumer electronics, chemical, pharmaceutical and nuclear. Until recently, research had stalled on the use of lithium metal as a power source, primarily because of its instability in the presence of air and water. Today, consumers are familiar with lithium in the form of lithium ion batteries, which for decades have been used as a source of safe, energy dense power for laptops, cell phones, digital cameras and digital music players, among other items. The safety and stability of lithium ions, however, come at a price when compared to metallic lithium. Lithium ions have a lower energy density than lithium metal, with the capacity to store just one-tenth of the energy of equivalent weight lithium metal.

 

With the advent of more advanced electronic products, most notably the recent introduction of battery- powered automobiles, the development of lithium battery-driven propulsion in the form of a lithium metal battery is generating an increasing level of interest among scientists and corporations. The lithium metal batteries reported to be under development would be lightweight, powerful (capable of producing as much as 10 times the energy of lithium ion batteries), and rechargeable. By way of example, it is reported that automobiles powered by lithium ion batteries can travel up to 40 miles on a charge; a lithium metal battery could potentially extend that range to over 400 miles using a lighter, less expensive power package.

 

Assuming that lithium metal battery technology is perfected, the question for manufacturers, including automobile companies, remains: “Can metallic lithium be produced cost-effectively and in sufficient quantities to support the introduction of products – like automobiles - powered by this technology?”

 

alpha-En’s Proposed Process

 

Based on results to date, including what we believe to be the validation of the proof of process, we believe that our licensed, proprietary technology offers a number of advantages over lithium extraction techniques currently in use. Traditionally, industrial production of lithium metal involved the electrolysis of molten salts at temperatures of 400-600 Celsius (752-1112 Fahrenheit). Maintaining these salts at high heat levels adds meaningful production costs to the process.

 

A well-known process exists which allows for lithium production at much lower temperatures, however that process requires large amounts of mercury which creates an unacceptable environmental risk profile. Other proposed low temperature processes also require the use of halide salts of lithium which release hazardous by-products, such as chlorine gas, during lithium separation. Containment and handling of these hazardous by-products adds to the manufacturing costs and increases the environmental risk profile.

 

Our licensed technology allows for separation temperatures of below 100 degrees Celsius, without the use of mercury, and allows for the use of lithium carbonate as a primary feed stock. The advantages are:

 

·Lower process temperatures mean lower manufacturing costs.
·Environmental risk is reduced by the absence of toxic mercury.
·Lithium carbonate can be used as the feed stock, reducing raw material and overall manufacturing costs, and eliminating the hazardous by-products typically produced when processing halide salts of lithium.
·The metal alloy which holds the separated lithium metal can be circulated for immediate extraction, or solidified to protect and stabilize the lithium metal for later extraction. This provides a previously unattainable degree of manufacturing flexibility.

 

In 2011, we devoted our resources to developing our metallic lithium battery technology, from the lab bench to the manufacturing floor, in large part, through the efforts of MXL Leasing’s scientists and technicians. We believe that we have advanced the state of this technology and are taking preliminary steps in order to begin manufacturing product by the end of 2012. To achieve this end, however, additional funds will need to be raised, as to which there can be no assurance.

Corporate Information and Background

 

alpha-En Corporation is a Delaware corporation. From 1969 to September 1996, operating as Wombat Productions, our primary focus was the production of one-hour profiles of Hollywood stars. In September 1996, we sold this business to former management and changed our name to Avenue Entertainment Group, Inc. From September 1996 to September 2005, we were an independent entertainment company that produced feature films, television films and made-for-television/cable movies.

 

Our company cut back daily operations in late 2005 and essentially ceased daily operations in May 2006. From May 2006 through the date we entered into a Technology License Agreement in February 2009 (as described above), we were substantially inactive. All monies disbursed by us from 2006 through January 2009 were used to pay previously-incurred accounting fees and for the payment of directors and officers’ insurance premiums. During that period, we had no employees and our board of directors did not meet.

 

On April 30, 2008, our board of directors and stockholders owning a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock voted to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to (a) change our corporate name to alpha-En Corporation, and (b) increase the aggregate number of our authorized shares of common stock from 15,000,000 shares to 35,000,000 shares. On June 9, 2008, we filed the certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation, effecting these changes. Pursuant to the corporate name change, effective July 22, 2008, our company’s trading symbol was changed to “ALPE.”

 

ITEM 1A.Risk Factors

 

An investment in our company is highly speculative in nature and involves an extremely high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following material risks, together with the other information contained in this report, before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

We have no relevant operating history; we have accumulated and working capital deficits; we are only in an initial commercialization stage with technology that is unproven on a large-scale commercial basis; and there is going concern disclosure in our independent auditors' report.

 

Our company cut back daily operations in late 2005 and essentially ceased daily operations in May 2006. Through January 2009, we were substantially inactive. In February 2009, we entered into a Technology License Agreement and expect our future operations will be centered around this licensed metallic lithium battery technology. Accordingly, we have no relevant operating history upon which an evaluation of our performance and prospects can be made. We are subject to all of the business risks associated with a new enterprise, including, but not limited to, risks of unforeseen capital requirements, failure of market acceptance, failure to establish business relationships and competitive disadvantages as against larger and more established companies. The report of our independent auditors with respect to our financial statements included in this report includes a "going concern" qualification, indicating that our significant operating losses and deficits in working capital and stockholders' equity raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have generated no revenues over the past three years from our lithium license, and will not generate any meaningful revenues until after we successfully commercialize our technology to manufacture metallic lithium, of which no assurance can be given. As of December 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $(267,805) and an accumulated deficit of $(8,014,735). Since December 31, 2011, we have continued to incur significant losses and anticipate that we may continue to incur significant losses in 2012 and beyond. There can be no assurance as to whether or when we will generate meaningful revenues or achieve profitable operations.

 

The metallic lithium battery technology that we have licensed has never been utilized on a large-scale basis, and there can be no assurance that this technology will perform successfully on a large-scale commercial basis or that it will be profitable for us. All of the tests conducted to date by us with respect to our new process and technology have been proven in the laboratory only, and there can be no assurance that the same or similar results could be obtained on a large-scale commercial basis. Additionally, our ability to operate our business successfully will depend on a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control, including competition, cost and availability of strategic components, changes in governmental initiatives and requirements, changes in regulatory requirements, and the costs associated with commencing pilot manufacturing at a third-party site.

There remains uncertainty of any market acceptance of our technology to manufacture metallic lithium.

 

Many prospective users of metallic lithium have already committed substantial resources to other existing forms of battery technology. Our growth and future financial performance will depend on our ability to demonstrate to prospective users the technical and economic advantages of our technology to manufacture metallic lithium over alternative technologies. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in this effort. Furthermore, it is possible that competing technologies may be perceived to have, or may actually have, certain advantages over our technology or metallic lithium in general for certain industries or applications.

 

Our technology is licensed and its patent is pending; therefore, protection of our technology is unpredictable at this time.

 

We license our technology from the Amendola Family Trust, which has filed a patent application on the technology in its name. We own no patents ourselves. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to maintain trade secrecy protection, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance that the Amendola Family Trust’s pending patent application will be approved, that the Technology License Agreement between us and the Amendola Family Trust will provide us with competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third parties or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar or superior technologies, or duplicate elements of our technology. It is possible that we may need to acquire licenses to, or to contest the validity of, issued or pending patents of third parties relating to metallic lithium. There can be no assurance that any license acquired under such patents would be made available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we would prevail in any such contest. In addition, we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us or in bringing patent suits against other parties.

 

In addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets, proprietary know-how and technology which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our prospective working partners and collaborators, employees and consultants. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by others.

 

We have a royalty payment obligation based on sales, regardless of whether we are profitable.

 

Pursuant to our February 2009 Technology License Agreement, we agreed to pay the licensor a royalty of (i) $1.00 per kilogram of lithium product manufactured and sold, and (ii) in the event sodium is produced out of the manufacture of lithium, $0.10 per kilogram of sodium manufactured and sold. Payment of such royalty to the Amendola Family Trust is based on our sales revenue and is not related to or contingent upon our attaining profitability or positive cash flow. As a result, such payment will adversely affect operating results and divert cash resources from use in our business, and possibly at times when our liquidity and access to funding may be limited.

 

We have a need for additional financing in the foreseeable future.

 

During the past three years, financing for all of our activities has been provided in the form of direct equity investments and advances from our officers and directors. Our future capital requirements could vary significantly and will depend on certain factors, many of which are not within our control. These include the ongoing development and testing of our technology to manufacture metallic lithium, the nature and timing of prospective commercial projects and permits required and the availability of financing. In the battery market, we may not be able to enter into favorable business collaborations and might thus be required to seek project contracts for our own account. If such efforts were successful, we would be required to make significant expenditures on personnel and capital equipment which would require significant financing. In addition, our lack of operational experience and limited capital resources could make it difficult, if not highly unlikely, to successfully secure major projects. In such event, our business development could be limited to smaller commercial projects with significantly lower potential for profit.

 

5
 

 

In addition, the expansion of our business will require the commitment of significant capital resources toward the hiring of technical and operational support personnel and the development of a manufacturing and testing facility. In the event we are presented with one or more significant projects, individually or in conjunction with collaborative working partners, we may require additional capital to take advantage of such opportunities. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on favorable terms. If adequate financing is not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate certain of our research and development programs, to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, or to license third parties to commercialize technologies that we would otherwise seek to develop ourselves. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, stockholders will be diluted.

 

We face competition and technical alternatives in the overall battery market.

 

We anticipate that our primary market will be for metallic lithium batteries. We have had limited experience in manufacturing and marketing our technology and have not previously had any employees or personnel whose primary responsibilities consisted of these functions. Other participants include several large domestic and international companies and numerous small companies, many of whom have substantially greater financial and other resources and more manufacturing, marketing and sales experience than we do. In addition, as metallic lithium technology evolves, there exists the possibility that our technology may be rendered obsolete by one or more competing technologies. Any one or more of our competitors, or one or more other enterprises not presently known to us, may develop technologies which are superior to our technology. To the extent that our competitors are able to offer more cost-effective alternatives, our ability to compete could be materially and adversely affected.

 

There can be no assurance that we will enter into collaborative agreements or projects utilizing our technology in the future.

 

We propose to pursue opportunities in the battery market through collaborative joint working arrangements with companies that have a significant presence in well-established industries or markets, and that can introduce our technology to industry participants. However, neither we nor any of our prospective collaborative joint working partners have secured any project contracts. There can be no assurance that we will enter into any definitive joint project arrangements with our prospective working partners or others, or that any such definitive arrangements will be on terms and conditions that will enable us to generate profits. Furthermore, even if we are successful in obtaining one or more project awards, such projects may be curtailed or eliminated, or other problems may arise, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We depend on senior management and other personnel to run our business.

 

We are dependent on the efforts of our senior management, particularly Jerome I. Feldman, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and Steven M. Payne, our President. We do not have employment agreements with them or have key-man life insurance policies on the lives of such individuals to compensate us for the loss of any of such individuals. The loss of the services of any one or more of such persons may have a material adverse effect on our company.

 

Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain skilled scientific, management, operational and marketing personnel. Other than Messrs. Feldman and Payne, we do not currently have any employees or personnel whose responsibilities are focused primarily in these fields. We face competition for hiring such personnel from other companies. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.

 

6
 

 

We will need to comply with government regulations, which can be costly and time-consuming.

 

We and our customers may be required to comply with a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the areas of safety, health and environmental controls, including without limitation, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA), which may require us, our prospective working partners or our customers to obtain permits or approvals to manufacture and utilize metallic lithium. There is no assurance that such required permits and approvals will be obtained or maintained. Furthermore, particularly in the battery market, we may be required to conduct performance and operating studies to assure government agencies that our technology does not pose environmental risks. There is no assurance that such studies, if successful, will not be more costly or time-consuming than anticipated. Further, if new environmental legislation or regulations are enacted or existing legislation or regulations are amended, or are interpreted or enforced differently, we, our prospective working partners and/or our customers may be required to meet stricter standards of operation and/or obtain additional operating permits or approvals. There can be no assurance that we will meet all of the applicable regulatory requirements. Failure to obtain such permits, or otherwise to comply with such regulatory requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are controlled by a small number of “insider” stockholders.

 

Our directors and executive officers currently beneficially own approximately 49.7% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, through their collective ownership of our outstanding common stock, if they act together, they will be able to control the voting of our shares at all meetings of stockholders and, because the common stock does not have cumulative voting rights, will be able to determine the outcome of the election of all of our directors and determine corporate and stockholder action on other matters.

 

We have no plans to pay dividends.

 

We have never paid any dividends on our common stock, and have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

It is likely that our common stock price will be volatile.

 

The stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performances of specific companies. Announcements of new technologies and changing policies and regulations of the federal government and state governments and other external factors, as well as potential fluctuations in our financial results, may have a significant impact on the price of our stock.

 

Our charter contains some anti-takeover provisions that may inhibit a takeover.

 

The provisions in our certificate of incorporation relating to a classified board of directors and delegation to the board of directors of rights to determine the terms of preferred stock may have the effect not only of discouraging attempts by others to buy us, but also of making it more difficult or impossible for existing stockholders to make management changes. A classified board, which is made up of directors elected for staggered terms, while promoting stability in board membership and management, also moderates the pace of any change in control of our board of directors by extending the time required to elect a majority, effectively requiring action in at least two annual meetings. The ability of our board of directors to determine the terms of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible business purchases and other corporate purposes, could make it more difficult for a third party to secure a majority of our outstanding common stock. Additionally, we are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits us from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Section 203 could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control.

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

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included in this report. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

For the last two years, we have been focused exclusively on efforts to develop a business centered around our metallic lithium battery technology.

 

On February 25, 2009, we entered into a Technology License Agreement with the Amendola Family Trust, a trust created by Steven Amendola. Pursuant to the License Agreement, we acquired an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use certain proprietary technology for manufacturing metallic lithium for use in batteries and other applications. We believe this technology allows for the manufacture of metallic lithium more efficiently and more inexpensively than current methods.

 

Commencing in October 2010, working through a third party, we conducted a series of tests in a production environment to determine if the process covered by the Amendola patent works. The testing involved feeding lithium carbonate solution into an electrolysis tank containing a liquid metal cathode and an anode suspended in the lithium carbonate solution. Based on the results of this preliminary testing, we believe that the process is workable and can be scaled-up to a commercially feasible level.

 

On February 23, 2011, we entered into an Option Agreement with MXL Leasing, LP to prepare for the commercial manufacture of lithium metal and, subject to the terms of a definitive agreement, commence commercial manufacturing of lithium metal.

 

Results of Operations

 

Year ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010

 

Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 consisted principally of developing our technology. In 2010, our operations consisted principally of maintaining our public company status.

 

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $(182,419), compared to a net loss of $(105,427) for the year ended December 31, 2010. We had limited operations during 2011 and expenses consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses (legal and accounting fees), and research and development expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2011, we had negative working capital of $(267,805), compared to negative working capital of $(155,386) at December 31, 2010.

 

We do not have sufficient funds to continue our operating activities. Future operating activities are expected to be funded by loans from officers, directors and major shareholders, until we begin to raise capital from non-officers or non-directors or generate cash flows from operations.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of the date of this report, we have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.

 

10
 

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are as follows:

 

Consolidated Financial Statements. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Our carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loan payable, note payable and due to related party approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition. Participation rights related to both sales of assets are recognized as earned and reported by the purchasers of both assets.

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets, consisting of a license for an exclusive, worldwide, transferable, perpetual license to use certain proprietary technology for the processing of lithium for use in batteries and other fields, have been recorded at fair value and, as they have an indefinite life, will not be amortized. The carrying value of the intangible assets will be evaluated by us for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicated that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the we will write down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by us at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may be definitive and we will commence amortization over such useful life.

 

We have evaluated the fair value of our intangible assets and determined that it exceeds the carrying value based on our knowledge of the potential use of the lithium that we plan to produce in the existing market. Although are at an early stage of bringing the lithium process to produce revenues and cannot accurately forecast revenues, we believe that the net cash flow to be derived from the lithium will exceed the carrying value.

 

Income (Loss) per Common Share. Basic net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number and any potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

 

Share-Based Compensation. We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the warrants and the expected volatility of our common stock.

 

Deferred Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not, that the deferred tax asses will not be realized.

New Accounting Pronouncements. We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For more information, please see Note 2., “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - New Accounting Pronouncements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

 

On March 21 , 2011, we were informed by our then independent registered public accounting firm, Most & Company, LLP, that it has combined its practice with Schulman, Wolfson & Abruzzo, LLP, effective as of January 10, 2011. As a result, Most & Company resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm and Schulman, Wolfson, as successor to Most & Company, became our current independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of Schulman Wolfson was approved by our board of directors acting as our audit committee.  For additional information with respect to our change in certifying accountant, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 22, 2011, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2011.

 

ITEM 9A.Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011 were not effective, due to the material weaknesses discussed below, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

·pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

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

 

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

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

12
 

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission COSO). Based on our assessment and the criteria set forth by COSO, our management believes that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 due to the material weaknesses discussed below.

 

The aforementioned evaluation identified material weaknesses that relate to the fact that that our overall financial reporting structure, internal accounting information systems and current staffing levels are not sufficient to support our financial reporting requirements. To address the weaknesses, we performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, our management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

As noted above, the issues that resulted from these weaknesses were properly addressed before the completion of our consolidated financial statements. In addition, our management is working to identify and implement corrective actions where required to improve our internal controls, including the enhancement of our systems and procedures to assure that the weaknesses noted above are corrected. We are working to remedy our deficiency.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this annual report.

ITEM 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

 

The table below sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of March 31, 2012, by:

 

·all of our directors and executive officers, individually,

 

·all of our directors and executive officers, as a group, and

 

·all persons who beneficially owned more than 5% of our outstanding common stock.

 

The beneficial ownership of each person was calculated based on 27,821,030 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2012, according to the record ownership listings as of that date and the verifications we solicited and received from each director and executive officer. The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. For example, a person has beneficial ownership of a share not only if he owns it in the usual sense, but also if he has the power to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of the share. Beneficial ownership also includes the number of shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of March 31, 2012, pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants or the conversion of notes, debentures or other indebtedness, but excludes stock appreciation rights. Two or more persons might count as beneficial owners of the same share. Unless otherwise noted, the address of the following persons listed below is c/o alpha-En Corporation, 120 White Plains Road, Tarrytown, New York 10591.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them.

Change in Control

 

There are no arrangements currently in effect which may result in our “change in control,” as that term is defined by the provisions of Item 403(c) of Regulation S-K.

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

Under our Stock Option and Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan), as amended, there are 2,750,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Plan to key employees, directors and consultants. Grants may be stock options, SAR’s, restricted stock or stock bonuses. Only employees may receive incentive awards. Exercise prices of incentive stock option grants shall not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. Stock options may be exercised subject to continued employment and certain other conditions. We can determine all other terms of an award under the Plan, including vesting and term, provided, however, that the terms of a stock option grant under the Plan may not be for more than ten years from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2012, all 2,750,000 stock options are available for issuance under the Plan and, as of that date, there were no outstanding grants under the Plan.

 

The following table provides information as of December 31, 2011, with respect to the shares of common stock that may have been issued under our existing equity compensation plan.

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

 

Related Party Transactions

 

As of December 31, 2011, our loan payable-stockholder/officer was $134,384, payable on demand with interest at 5% per annum. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, interest expense on the loan payable-stockholder/officer was $5,288 and $3,704, respectively.  From January through April 9, 2012, we borrowed an additional $6,920, from the stockholder/officer.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer provides us administrative space without rent.

 

Director Independence

 

Ogden Reid is an “independent” director, as that term is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. Our other three directors are not “independent” as they are or recently were executive officers of our company.

PART IV

 

ITEM 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

 

Effective as of January 10, 2011, our independent registered public accounting firm, Most & Company, LLP, combined its practice with Schulman, Wolfson & Abruzzo, LLP. As a result, Most & Company resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm and Schulman Wolfson, as successor to Most & Company, became our independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of Schulman Wolfson was approved by our board of directors acting as our audit committee.

 

Schulman Wolfson, as successor to Most & Company, served as our independent auditors for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011.

 

Audit Fees

 

Audit fees are those fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of the annual financial statements and reviews of the financial statements included in Forms 10-Q. For the year ended December 31, 2011, $25,875 in audit fees were billed by Schulman Wolfson and, for the year ended December 31, 2010, $49,388 in audit fees were billed by Schulman Wolfson, as successor to Most & Company, related to the audit and reviews of our financial statements.

 

Audit-related Fees

 

Audit-related fees are fees billed for professional services other than the audit of our financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2011, no audit-related fees were billed by Schulman Wolfson and, for the year ended December 31, 2010, $438 in audit-related fees were billed by Schulman Wolfson, as successor to Most & Company.

 

Tax Fees

 

Tax fees are those fees billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, including preparation of corporate federal and state income tax returns, tax advice and tax planning. For the year ended December 31, 2011, no tax fees were billed by Schulman Wolfson and, for the year ended December 31, 2010, $4,214 in tax fees were billed by Schulman Wolfson, as successor to Most & Company.

 

All Other Fees

 

No other fees were billed by our independent auditors in 2011 and 2010.

 

Audit Committee

 

We have not established an audit committee. Our board of directors approved the services rendered and fees charged by our independent auditors. Our board of directors has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, with our management. In addition, our board of directors has discussed with Schulman Wolfson, our independent registered public accountants, the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committee). Our board of directors also has received the written disclosures and the letter from as required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and our board of directors has discussed the independence of Schulman Wolfson with that firm.

 

Based on our board of directors’ review of the matters noted above and its discussions with our independent auditors and our management, our board of directors approved that the audited financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

21
 

 

Policy for Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

 

Our board of directors’ policy is to pre-approve all audit services and all non-audit services that our independent auditor is permitted to perform for us under applicable federal securities regulations. As permitted by the applicable regulations, our board of directors’ policy utilizes a combination of specific pre-approval on a case-by-case basis of individual engagements of the independent auditor and general pre-approval of certain categories of engagements up to predetermined dollar thresholds that are reviewed annually by our board of directors. Specific pre-approval is mandatory for the annual financial statement audit engagement, among others.

 

The pre-approval policy was implemented effective in fiscal 2001. All engagements of the independent auditor to perform any audit services and non-audit services since that date have been pre-approved by our board of directors in accordance with the pre-approval policy. The policy has not been waived in any instance. All engagements of the independent auditor to perform any audit services and non-audit services prior to the date the pre-approval policy was implemented were approved by our board of directors in accordance its normal functions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
alpha-En Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of alpha-En Corporation (Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the two years 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has operating losses, negative working capital, no operating cash flow and future losses are anticipated. The Company’s plan of operations, even if successful, may not result in cash flow sufficient to finance and expand its business which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the alpha-En Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

ALPHA-EN CORPORATION

 

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.Organization and Operations

 

Alpha-En Corporation (Company) was incorporated in Delaware on March 7, 1997 and had operated through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Avenue Pictures, Inc. and its subsidiaries and Wombat Productions, Inc. through May 2, 2006.

 

From May 2, 2006 through February 24, 2009, the Company had been inactive.

 

On February 25, 2009, the Company was granted a license for an exclusive, worldwide, transferable, perpetual license to use certain proprietary technology for the processing of lithium for use in batteries and other fields.

 

Commencing in October 2010, working through a third party, the Company conducted a series of tests to determine if the process works and, based on the results, believes that the process is workable and commercially feasible (Note 7).

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loan payable-stockholder/officer, note payable and due to related party approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Participation rights related to assets previously sold are recognized as earned and reported.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are recorded at fair value and, as they have an indefinite life, will not be amortized. The carrying value of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may be definitive and the Company will commence amortization over such useful life.

 

F-7
 

 

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially diluted securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each period.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no significant potentially dilutive securities.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. Common stock equivalents are valued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the common stock equivalent and the expected volatility of our common stock.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and developments expenses consist of stock-based compensation paid to consultants and outside service providers for development costs relating to the design, development and testing of the processing of lithium for use in batteries and other fields.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.

 

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and tax related penalties as general and administrative expenses.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08: “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. The amendments in this update are intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing the reporting entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The update includes examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date prior to September 15, 2011 if the entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05: (1) eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, (2) requires presentation of each component of net income and each component of OCI (and their respective totals) either in a single continuous statement or in two separate (but consecutive) statements, and (3) requires presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the statement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, The FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. The new guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards. While many of the amendments to U.S. GAAP are not expected to have a significant effect on practice, the new guidance changes some fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. Adoption of ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

F-8
 

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

3.Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had incurred operating losses, negative working capital, and no operating cash flow and future losses are anticipated.

 

The Company's plan is to raise equity financing, which even if successful, may not result in cash flow sufficient to finance and expand its business and generate sales from the License (Note 4). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Realization of assets is dependent upon future operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon management's plans to meet its financing requirements and the success of its future operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

4.Intangible Assets

 

On February 25, 2009, the Company was granted an exclusive, worldwide, transferable, perpetual license (License) to use certain proprietary technology for the processing of lithium for use in batteries and other fields. A patent application relating to the licensed technology is pending.

In exchange for the License, the Company:

 

(1) issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company;

 

(2) issued an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company which are restricted and subject to forfeiture if there has not been at least $1,000,000 in total commercial sales of licenses products within three years (Threshold);

 

(3) will pay royalties of $1.00 per kilogram, of lithium products manufactured and sold, payable quarterly;

 

(4) will pay a royalty of $.01 per kilogram, of excess products manufactured and sold, payable quarterly;

 

(5) will grant options to purchase up to a total of 19% (inclusive of previously issued shares) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company upon the issuance of any additional shares after the date of the License. These options are exercisable at the same prices as the shares sold or values received for five years from each grant date. These grants are only issuable if the Threshold is met.

 

Upon a transfer of the entire License, the Company shall pay the licensor a fee equal to 19% of all compensation received on the transfer.

 

The License has been recorded at its fair value of $250,000 based on management’s projected net cash flows to be realized from sales of products under the License.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the additional 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were issued, are subject to forfeiture if there has not been at least $1,000,000 in total commercial sales of licenses products by February 25, 2012.

 

As of February 25, 2012, commercial sales of the licensed products have not commenced.

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has evaluated the fair value of the Technology License intangible asset and has determined that it is in excess of the carrying value based on our estimated net discounted cash flows anticipated from the sale of the process under the licensing agreement. The Company has also continued to test the process and believes that it is workable and commercially feasible.

5.Notes Payable

 

On May 11, in connection with the purchase of directors and officers liability insurance, the Company borrowed $12,171, payable in monthly installments, including interest of 11.04% through January 2012.

 

6.Related Party Transactions

 

As of December 31, 2011, loan payable-stockholder/officer was $134,384 payable on demand, with interest at 5%, per annum. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, interest expense on the loan payable-stockholder/officer was $5,288 and $3,704, respectively.

 

In January through April 9, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $6,920, from the stockholder/officer.

 

An officer of the Company provides administrative space without rent.

 

7.Option Agreement

 

On February 23, 2011, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (“Option”) with a company owned 25% by a stockholder/officer, which had been conducting research and development in connection with the commercial manufacture of lithium metal for use in batteries and other applications under the Company’s proprietary license.

 

In exchange for the rights to the research and development of and to further develop the lithium process, the Company granted an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of its common stock exercisable at $0.11 per share, for five years from the date of the grant. The option was valued at $70,000 using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation of $0.11, an expected dividend yield of zero, a term of five years, and an annual risk-free interest rate of 2.21% and an expected volatility of 80.75%

The update includes examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.

Going Concern and Management's Plans
3. Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had incurred operating losses, negative working capital, and no operating cash flow and future losses are anticipated.

 

The Company's plan is to raise equity financing, which even if successful, may not result in cash flow sufficient to finance and expand its business and generate sales from the License (Note 4). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Realization of assets is dependent upon future operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon management's plans to meet its financing requirements and the success of its future operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loan payable-stockholder/officer, note payable and due to related party approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Participation rights related to assets previously sold are recognized as earned and reported.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are recorded at fair value and, as they have an indefinite life, will not be amortized. The carrying value of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may be definitive and the Company will commence amortization over such useful life.

 

 

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially diluted securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each period.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no significant potentially dilutive securities.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. Common stock equivalents are valued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the common stock equivalent and the expected volatility of our common stock.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and developments expenses consist of stock-based compensation paid to consultants and outside service providers for development costs relating to the design, development and testing of the processing of lithium for use in batteries and other fields.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.

 

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and tax related penalties as general and administrative expenses.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08: “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. The amendments in this update are intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing the reporting entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The update includes examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date prior to September 15, 2011 if the entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05: (1) eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, (2) requires presentation of each component of net income and each component of OCI (and their respective totals) either in a single continuous statement or in two separate (but consecutive) statements, and (3) requires presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the statement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, The FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. The new guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards. While many of the amendments to U.S. GAAP are not expected to have a significant effect on practice, the new guidance changes some fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. Adoption of ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In exchange for the rights to the research and development of and to further develop the lithium process, the Company granted an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of its common stock exercisable at $0.11 per share, for five years from the date of the grant. The option was valued at $70,000 using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation of $0.11, an expected dividend yield of zero, a term of five years, and an annual risk-free interest rate of 2.21% and an expected volatility of 80.75%

 

The option is immediately exercisable and is subject to adjustment by the Company in the event there are any changes in the stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges of share or if the number and price of shares available under the Option should be equitably adjusted by the Company.

On February 25, 2009, the Company was granted an exclusive, worldwide, transferable, perpetual license (License) to use certain proprietary technology for the processing of lithium for use in batteries and other fields. A patent application relating to the licensed technology is pending.

In exchange for the License, the Company:

 

(1) issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company;

 

(2) issued an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company which are restricted and subject to forfeiture if there has not been at least $1,000,000 in total commercial sales of licenses products within three years (Threshold);

 

(3) will pay royalties of $1.00 per kilogram, of lithium products manufactured and sold, payable quarterly;

 

(4) will pay a royalty of $.01 per kilogram, of excess products manufactured and sold, payable quarterly;

 

(5) will grant options to purchase up to a total of 19% (inclusive of previously issued shares) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company upon the issuance of any additional shares after the date of the License. These options are exercisable at the same prices as the shares sold or values received for five years from each grant date. These grants are only issuable if the Threshold is met.

 

Upon a transfer of the entire License, the Company shall pay the licensor a fee equal to 19% of all compensation received on the transfer.

 

The License has been recorded at its fair value of $250,000 based on management’s projected net cash flows to be realized from sales of products under the License.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the additional 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were issued, are subject to forfeiture if there has not been at least $1,000,000 in total commercial sales of licenses products by February 25, 2012.

 

As of February 25, 2012, commercial sales of the licensed products have not commenced.

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has evaluated the fair value of the Technology License intangible asset and has determined that it is in excess of the carrying value based on our estimated net discounted cash flows anticipated from the sale of the process under the licensing agreement. The Company has also continued to test the process and believes that it is workable and commercially feasible.
