Alpha-En
Corporation
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
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.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
for interim financial statements and with the rules and regulations under
Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form
10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for interim financial statements have been included. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the
Company together with the Company's management discussion and analysis in Item 2
of this report and in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2009. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full
year.
Consolidated
Financial Statements
The
Company's consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.
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 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 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.
Consideration
of Subsequent Events
The
Company evaluated all events and transactions occurring after March 31, 2010
through May 24, 2010, the date these financial statements were issued, to
identify subsequent events which may need to be recognized or non-recognizable
events which would need disclosure.
No
recognizable events were identified for disclosure. See Note 6 for
non-recognizable events disclosed.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting
pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying
financial statements.
3.
Going Concern and Management’s Plans
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
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, has negative working capital and no
operating cash flow and future losses are anticipated.
The
Company’s plan of operations 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 (see 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 existence.
4.
Intangible Assets
On
February 25, 2009, the Company was granted an exclusive, worldwide,
transferable, perpetual license (the “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.
The
License fee shall consist of the following:
(1) Issuance of 1,000,000 shares of
common stock of the Company;
(2) A
royalty of $1.00 per kilogram of lithium products manufactured and sold, payable
quarterly;
(3) A
royalty of $.10 per kilogram of excess products manufactured and sold, payable
quarterly;
(4)
Issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the
licensor which are restricted and subject to forfeiture if there has not been at
least $1,000,000 in total commercial sales of licensed products within three
years (“Threshold”);
(5) Grant
of 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.
5.
Note Payable
On March
10, 2010, in connection with the purchase of directors and officers liability
insurance, the Company borrowed $14,532, payable in nine equal monthly
installments of $1,690, including interest of 11.04%, per annum, through
December 2010.
6. Related
Party Transactions
As of
March 31, 2010, loan payable – stockholder/officer was $148,686, payable on
demand, with interest at 5%, per annum.
In April
2010, the Company borrowed an additional $9,000 from the
stockholder/officer.
An
officer of the Company provides administrative space without rent.
7.
Income Taxes
As of
March 31, 2010, management has evaluated and concluded that there are no
significant uncertain tax positions required recognition in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 2. 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.
Background
and Overview
Our
company cut back daily operations in late 2005 and essentially ceased daily
operations in May 2006. In September 2005, we sold certain assets to
Cary Brokaw Productions, and subsequently ceased the business of producing
feature films, television films and made-for-television/cable
movies. Cary Brokaw also resigned from our board and as our Chief
Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer. Gene
Feldman assumed certain duties previously held by Mr. Brokaw, including becoming
our Chairman of the Board.
In May
2006, Gene Feldman was diagnosed with lymphoma and resigned from his position
with us. On August 25, 2006, Gene Feldman passed away. On September
1, 2006, Mr. Feldman’s nephew, Michael D. Feldman, stepped in to become our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Jerome I. Feldman, Gene Feldman’s
brother and Michael D. Feldman’s father, became our Chief Financial
Officer, Treasurer and Vice Chairman of the Board. From the date
of Gene Feldman’s resignation through the date we entered into a
Technology License Agreement (as described below), we have been substantially
inactive. All monies disbursed by us from 2006 through the date
hereof were used for the payment of directors and officers’ insurance
premiums and the cost of maintaining our public company
status. During that period, we have had no employees other than our
officers.
Effective
May 2006, we sold our remaining assets to the estate of Gene Feldman, pursuant
to an agreement between Gene Feldman and us in early 2006; however, the actual
closing of the transaction did not occur until January 2007.
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 fields. 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.
We expect
our future operations will be centered around metallic lithium battery
technology (an estimated market in excess of $1.0 billion according to
independent industry sources). No assurance can be given, however,
that we will be successful in these efforts.
It is our
intention to develop pilot manufacturing of metallic lithium and from such
production, manufacture sufficient material to insure the quality, test the
marketing and commence initial pilot sales. We would lease
manufacturing space at the facilities of MXL Industries Inc. in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It would be necessary to raise
sufficient funds to commence such pilot manufacturing over the next six months
and it would be the responsibility of management to initiate such
financing. We would hire technical and operational support personnel
as necessary to reach appropriate staffing levels at such time.
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. This process has only been proven in the laboratory and will
have its initial pilot production later in 2010.
Three
Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
2009
Operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted principally of
maintaining our public company status.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
March 31, 2010, we had negative working capital of $245,843, compared to
negative working capital of $176,240, at March 31, 2009.
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.
Impact
of Inflation
We
believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 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 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.
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
evaluated the fair value of our intangible assets as of December 31,
2009 and determined that it exceeded the carrying value based on our
knowledge of the potential use of the lithium that we plan to produce in the
existing market. Although we are at an early stage of bringing the lithium
process to produce revenues and cannot forecast revenues, we believe that the
net cash flow to be derived from the lithium process 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 assets 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.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
Not
required.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2010, based on their evaluation of
these controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by an issuer in reports it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its
principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have
identified certain matters that constitute material weakness (as defined under
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2) in our
internal controls over financial reporting. The material weaknesses
that we have identified 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. We are working to remedy our deficiency.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation of such internal controls that occurred during
our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.
ITEM 1. Legal
Proceedings
None
There are
no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities and Use of Proceeds
There
were no sales of unregistered securities during the three months ended March 31,
2010.
