MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Forward looking statements made herein are based on current expectations of the Company that involves a number of risks and uncertainties and should not be considered as guarantees of future performance. These statements are made under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include; interruptions or cancellation of existing contracts, impact of competitive products and pricing, product demand and market acceptance risks, the presence of competitors with greater financial resources than the Company, product development and commercialization risks and an inability to arrange additional debt or equity financing.
GENERAL FINANCIAL ACTIVITY
PowerCold Corporation, (PowerCold)® (OTCBB: PWCL), designs, develops and markets energy efficient heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems (HVAC) and energy related products for commercial use. Air conditioning and refrigeration are two of the more energy intensive operational costs many businesses face. Increasing power costs and clean air regulations have forced corporations of all sizes to focus both on energy savings and indoor air quality. PowerCold's proprietary energy efficient products provide a clean comfort air environment and significantly reduce power costs by up to 50% for air conditioning, refrigeration and on-site building power.
PowerCold operations include four wholly owned subsidiary companies with respective operating divisions: PowerCold Products, Inc., (PCP) supports product development, engineering and manufacturing. PowerCold ComfortAir Solutions, Inc., (PCS) supports sales and marketing offering turnkey high efficiency HVAC solutions for commercial buildings, including major hotel chains, national restaurant and retail store chains, extended care facilities and office buildings. There are two operating divisions of PCS; Applied Building Technology (ABT) supports related engineering and design build HVAC applications and PowerCold Energy Systems (PES) which supports related energy products including generators and engine driven chillers. PowerCold Technology LLC, (PCT) licenses technology and intellectual property to third party entities on a non - -exclusive basis. PowerCold International, Ltd., (PCI), a new operating subsidiary company effective July 1, 2003, markets all company products and system applications worldwide through various alliances and marketing agencies. PowerCold has also established alliances with various companies in the industry to market and manufacture related HVAC and Energy products.
The Company derives its revenues from four principal product line applications: The first is proprietary applications for the HVAC industry which include a patented four pipe integrated piping system for large commercial buildings and turnkey HVAC systems for light commercial national chain store applications. The second is a line of evaporative condensers, heat exchange systems and fluid coolers for the HVAC and refrigeration industry. The third is the design and packaging of custom chiller systems for the HVAC and refrigeration industry. The fourth is energy products including generators, engine driven chillers and engineering services.
Subsidiary Companies:
PowerCold Products, Inc. PowerCold Products (PCP) provides product research and development, engineering and manufacturing of patented evaporative condensers and heat exchange systems for the heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) and refrigeration industry. PCP supports the Company’s Nauticon® and EV Chill™ product lines with engineering design, manufacturing and packaging for its products. PCP also supports custom refrigeration systems by designing, engineering and packaging special customer orders.
The Nauticon patented products are innovative in design, use new material technology, are simple to manufacture, and have a low operating cost. They are used for evaporative condensers, fluid coolers, sub-coolers, commercial and industrial refrigeration system components, and custom refrigeration products for commercial and industrial applications. Nauticon products can reduce power cost for air condition and refrigeration applications by up to 40%. PowerCold has continued to invest in and improve the Nauticon product line, greatly expanding its product offerings ranging from a single 10-ton unit up to 300-ton or more multi-unit systems. The company has three patents related to the Nauticon product line.
PowerCold ComfortAir Solutions, Inc. PowerCold ComfortAir Solutions, Inc., (PCS) supports sales and marketing for all U.S. operations offering high efficiency design build HVAC solutions for new and retro-fit commercial buildings, including major hotel chains, national restaurant and retail store chains, extended care facilities, and office buildings. PCS provides these national accounts with turnkey solutions for the design, engineering and installation of energy efficient HVAC solutions. The Companys services are specifically targeted toward large national accounts, such as hospitality providers and national retailers who standardize their HVAC systems across all of their properties.
In December 2000, PowerCold acquired the technology rights, patent rights, and a license agreement for integrated piping technology for a heating and air conditioning system. This acquisition gave the Company exclusive, non-transferable United States transfer rights to the technology and all related assets. In 2003, PowerCold filed for its own, exclusive, enhanced related patent, Environmental Air Treatment System, for worldwide use that supports all of the Companys unique technology including desiccant and solar energy systems.
The design build approach continues to grow in popularity within the construction industry and is expected to become the predominant method of project delivery for PowerCold ComfortAir Solution, Inc. by 2005. In January 2004, the Company set up a National Contractors Alliance (NCA) program to provide additional revenue opportunities as the design build program gains momentum with its new alliance partners. The NCA is a turnkey design build program that brings together a nationwide network of contractors, engineers, architects, subcontractors and equipment suppliers to design, build, and equip facilities with the Companys proprietary HVAC systems. The turnkey design build approach offers greater design flexibility, lower installation costs, equipment longevity, ease of service, and minimizes cost overruns and delays.
PCS expects significant growth to come from this multi-market channel once the national account agrees to use PowerColds system in both new and existing locations. The Company currently has installed seventeen of the large building systems in three major hotel chains and various extended care facilities and has installed over thirty retail national chain accounts in the U.S.
Applied Building Technology - In August 2002, the Company acquired all the assets of Applied Building Technology, a supplier of complete standardized heating, ventilation and air conditioning packages for commercial buildings. This new acquisition gives the Company a major entrée into the vast market for small commercial HVAC systems for national chain accounts. Increasing power costs and clean air regulations have forced corporations with chain store operations to focus on energy savings and indoor air quality.
The company introduced two new applications to support the national chain store business: The BreezeMaster system, designed for use by large chain retail and fast food stores, is a closed loop cooler that prevents moisture buildup that can lead to legionella and other respiratory diseases associated with standard evaporative condensers. This is a critical application for the high volume 10 to 30 ton commercial rooftop unit market where small footprint, weight and height are an issue. The other application is the new proprietary DesertMaster total energy fresh air system. The system uses cool or warm exhaust air being circulated out of a building to cool or heat incoming outside fresh air. The desiccant section is then used to remove the moisture from all the public spaces, 24 hours per day seven days per week. The DesertMaster is highly energy efficient , eliminating the need for approximately 20% of additional air conditioning equipment.
PowerCold Energy Systems - The Company originally formed Alturdyne Energy Systems to support its natural gas engine driven chillers and its rotary engine generator business. The name was changed to PowerCold Energy Systems in November 2002. In September 2002 the Company acquired an exclusive license from Alturdyne to manufacture, package, market, develop and use intellectual property for the natural gas engine driven chillers and the natural gas rotary engine gen-set for a period not to exceed ten years. The Company pre-paid Alturdyne $400,000 in royalty payments against the first $8,000,000 in anticipated sales as part of an exclusive license. In September 2003 Alturdyne purchased 63 rotary engines from PowerCold for $460,000. Subsequently, the prepaid royalty and the rotary engine receivable we re combined and structured as an outright purchase of the engine driven chiller technology.
The installation of combined heat and power (CHP) technology has grown in use over the last ten years. The technology and intellectual property acquired by the Company will significantly enhance the Companys ability to offer customers complete packaged solutions for their HVAC and power generation needs. The engine driven chillers include standard and custom packaging of natural gas, electric and diesel-fueled engine driven chillers used for HVAC system applications.
PowerCold International Ltd. The Company was incorporated as a new operating subsidiary effective July 1, 2003. PowerCold International markets all company products and system applications worldwide through various alliances and marketing agencies. Agents and alliances are being organized in various countries worldwide to market and support the companys products and application systems. Two alliances include: Shun Cheong Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd., Hong Kong, and Industrias Polaris S. A., Monterrey, Mexico.
PowerCold Technology, LLC - The Company was recently formed on February 12, 2004 pursuant to the LLC Act and other applicable laws of the State of Nevada. All assets of the Company related to patent rights, trade names, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, trade secrets, inventions, intellectual proprietary rights and know-how will be owned by PowerCold Technology, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary company of PowerCold Corporation. PowerCold Technology will license assets to PowerCold subsidiary companies and other third party companys world wide on a non-exclusive basis.
Products:
Nauticon Evaporative Condensers - The Company envisions worldwide market demand for its proprietary evaporative condensing systems used in air conditioning systems. The Nauticon patented products are innovative in design, use new material technology, are simple to manufacture, and have a low operating cost. They are used for evaporative condensers, fluid coolers, sub-coolers, refrigeration system components and custom refrigeration products for commercial and industrial use. Nauticon products can reduce power cost in the air condition and refrigeration industry by up to 40% compared to typical, standard air cooled condensers utilized on many refrigeration and air conditioning systems smaller than 200 ton capacity. Nauticon units have superior features; they are free of water treatment chemicals, self-cleaning coils that shed scale, & nbsp;low-maintenance evaporative condensers. Nauticons primary advantage is energy savings, yielding EER ratings as high as 18 even as the industry, through regulation, changes to lower efficiency refrigerants. Nauticon products could revolutionize the refrigeration industry by providing a cost effective alternative to the much less efficient air cooled condenser typically utilized on commercial roof top refrigeration and AC units. The industry faces serious changes for the first time in years due to energy and environmental concerns worldwide.
HVAC Systems PowerCold owns the exclusive U.S. technology rights for an integrated piping technology system for heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems (HVAC). The first principle of the patented HVAC system are the existing pipes, as the delivery system, to provide hot and chilled water to individual fan coil units. The proprietary technology is designed to utilize the fire sprinkler piping to circulate the cooling water around the building. In addition, the domestic hot water lines also distribute heating energy.
The dual use of the piping systems provide cost effective, high quality, compressor-free guest rooms for the hospitality industry. The PowerCold ComfortAir system provides the precise comfort control of four-pipe air conditioning at a lower capital cost. Installation and construction costs are comparable to conventional through-the-window Package Terminal Air Conditioners (PTAC) units. The Ultimate Comforts System also avoids the discomfort of poor temperature/humidity control and sleepless nights from noisy compressor cycling. High quality chiller systems, designed and packaged by PowerCold Products provide installations with energy efficient design features, reliability and ease of maintenance. PowerColds HVAC systems provide energy saving operating ad vantages through the use of energy efficient equipment and energy recovery technology.
PowerColds Energy Efficient HVAC and Refrigeration Technologies Can Significantly Cut Peak Power Demand and Costs: Deregulated electricity during the hot summer peak-power-demand-days can cost 10-100 times more than normal. Commercial customers demand-surcharges, which are based on their peak-power usage during the 20-30 days per year when temperatures soar to 95° + F, can represent 30-50% of their total electric bill in some parts of the country. Consequently, reducing peak power demand during these few days could significantly reduce or eliminate surcharge costs. Commercial air conditioning and refrigeration (accounting for $7 billion of 2000s $37 billion in peak-power demand costs) are the Companys initial target markets. America is well entrenched with air condition and refrigeration systems, but there is a great niche market for the Company's unique and innovative evaporative condensers and chiller products. PowerCold and its related entities have the refrigeration engineering expertise and new innovative products that are needed and in demand today to save significant energy costs for an industry that hasn't seen many changes in the last 50 - 60 years.
Significant Events During Second Quarter 2004:
On April 6, 2004 the Company announced that it has developed a unique Fluid Cooler Package of various sizes that incorporates DuPonts CaltrelÒ engineered polymeric materials. DuPont Canada, Inc. and E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and PowerCold Corporation entered into a joint Development Agreement and a License Agreement relating to DuPont CaltrelÒ Fluid Energy Transfer System Applications on May 9, 2003. Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement, PowerCold selected Fluid Coolers as a Field for a Project Application and DuPont has agreed to this Field selection for an exclusive three-year period provided PowerCold meets certain Performance Metrics.
On April 8, 2004 the Company announced today it applied to the U.S. Patent Office for a new modular design heat exchanger patent that features superior modular and flexible designed plastic components. Utilizing polymeric materials provides additional value and innovation to PowerColds portfolio of products. Plastic components create a new platform for PowerCold to deliver its innovative and cost-effective HVAC solutions to customers.
On May 5, 2004 the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, PowerCold ComfortAir Solutions, Inc. (PCS) signed a sales and distribution agreement with Amcot Cooling Tower Corporation, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, a global supplier of high-performance fiberglass cooling towers.
Amcots parent company, Liang Chi Industry Co. Ltd., Taiwan, one of the largest manufacturers of cooling towers in the world is interested in marketing PowerColds new fluid cooler design concept for the Asian market. Liang Chi has 8 factories throughout Southeast Asia with 42 years experience manufacturing fiberglass-cooling towers. Amcots fiberglass cooling towers are engineered for cost efficiency and high performance and have been used for many years with great success due to their low maintenance requirements, resistance to moisture, light weight and material properties that allow a wide range of operating water temperatures.
On June 15, 2004 the Company announce that its wholly owned subsidiary PowerCold ComfortAir Solutions, Inc. (PCS) was awarded several new national retail store and restaurant chain contracts that will generate more than $2,000,000 in additional revenue. Additionally, a marketing agreement with First Energy Group, LLC and the signing of Conditioned Environments, Inc., as new members of the Companys National Contractors Alliance, increases PowerColds market coverage across the U.S.
PCS is redesigning new HVAC systems for several national restaurant chain accounts including Chick-Fil-A, Popeyes Chicken, and Bob OGradys. The redesigned HVAC systems will improve air quality, reduce humidity, and resolve ventilation and temperature concerns. In addition to restaurant chain accounts, PCS received new contracts from top national drug store chains, Walgreen and Eckerd. Other new contracts awarded in May include a Sonic Drive-In restaurant, Lakeland, FL, two HVAC systems for Ice Kube Systems ice skating rinks in Canada, a medical building in Denver, CO, a hotel in Nevada, and ten additional Nauticon units for Trane Corporation.
On June 23, 2004 the Company announced today that it has expanded its product line and now offers Direct Digital Control systems with the Companys patented HVAC packages for commercial buildings. Direct Digital Control systems, known as DDC systems, log electronic temperature measurements and compare them to the desired settings (set-points). The system then calculates an appropriate response if the two arent equal, and sends out new signals to correct for any difference. Typically, DDC systems are approximately 10-15% of the total HVAC package. PCS is currently installing DDC systems with several of its custom HVAC applications. These installations are expected to generate additional revenue in excess of $1,000,000 over the next twelve months.
On June 29, 2004 the Company announced, at its request, the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange has delisted and ceased trading in PowerCold stock at the close of business on June 28, 2004 on the exchange. On June 14, 2004, PowerCold had requested that the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange and the listing broker, Berliner Freiverkehr (Aktien) AG, immediately remove PowerCold from the exchange. The Company is reviewing possible remedies against individuals or firms responsible for the unauthorized listing and remains vigilant regarding future unauthorized listings on any exchange.
Subsequent Events:
On July 22, 2004 the Company announced that it received up to a $25 Million financing program from a major commercial mortgage corporation. The finance program provides the Company and its customers with a significant funding source for its patented energy saving HVAC systems. The new financing program is effective immediately and will be used primarily by PowerCold ComfortAir Solutions, Inc., a PowerCold company, for its commercial customers that include the hospitality, healthcare, leisure, and retail industries.
On July 29, 2004 the Company authorized the sale to Laurus Funds a Convertible Term Note in the principal amount of Five Million Dollars, which is convertible into the Company's common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $1.87 per share. Laurus Master Fund also acquired a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of up to 615,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $2.63 for 300,000 shares and $3.07 for 315,000 shares until July 29, 2007. The purchase agreement also granted certain registration rights. Closing and funding occurred on July 30, 2004.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Second Quarter 2004
The Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2003:
Total Revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 increased 10.4% to $2,361,110 from $2,138,976 for the same quarter the prior year, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 increased 41.5% to $4,602,213 from $3,251,310 for the same period the prior year.
Operating Loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 increased $314.00 to ($421,195) from ($420,881) for the same quarter the prior year, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 decreased 11.5% to ($701,571) from ($803,154) for the same period the prior year.
Net Loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 increased 212% to ($575,535) from ($184,246) for the same quarter the prior year, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 increased 78.1% to ($1,008,979) from ($566,633) for the same period the prior year. Net Operating Losses from continuing operations included one-time respective charges of $154,340 for the quarter and $309,249 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 for debt funding services. It is expected that quarter operating losses will continue to decline as revenue increases and operating expenses remain stable.
Net Loss Per Share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 increased to ($0.03) form ($0.01) for the same quarter the prior year, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 increased to ($0.05) from ($0.03) for the same period the prior year. Net loss per share was based on weighted average number of shares of 21, 805,083 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 and 19,202,066 for the three month period ended June 30, 2003.
The Companys sales and revenue continue to grow during the first half 2004. Total revenue of $4,602,213 for the six months ended through June 30, 2004 exceeded the total annual revenue of $4,070,476 for 2003 and $1,505,890 for 2002. The Company anticipates new contracts to exceed $9 million through the third quarter 2004 and has over $35 million in proposals in process with various national account customers. The majority of PowerCold ComfortAir Solutions engineering design proposals are for large commercial building projects that revolve over a six to twelve month contract cycle and are recognized as revenue on a percentage of completion basis. The Company expects to close new contract proposals at a 10% - 15% rate per quarter. The market for commercial HVAC systems for retail national chain stores and restaura nt accounts continues to expand with the recent addition of four new chains.
PowerCold Products production facility has continued to improve its operations with an emphasis on cost reduction programs and new sales initiatives focused on volume markets for Fluid Coolers and Evaporative Condensers. Major new engineering and marketing programs related to the new plastic products have been implemented with direct emphasis on OEM companies. Newly designed fluid coolers that use DuPonts CaltrelÒ plastic tubing have been shipped to a national restaurant chain and to one of the worlds largest fluid cooler OEM. Some of the value and benefits of the new plastic tubing to OEM companies are: improved coil scale shedding over copper tubing, superior corrosion resistance of the coil compared to copper construction, lower water usage, and lower maintenance cost.
Operating expenses increased 19.1% to $954,204 for the quarter and for the six months increased 35.3% to $1,862,809. Operating expenses increased primarily from additional one-time accounting and legal expense related to new financing, and higher expense for sales and marketing as compared to the prior year six month period. General administrative costs increased $265,364 due to one-time charges related to the installation of new enterprise accounting software, communications related improvements and compliance programs. None of these issues are expected to affect future reporting periods. Additional adjustments related to specific product cost issues are being implemented and will reflect greater profit margins going forward. Lower than anticipated R & D expenditures for plastic products contributed to cost containment as several products under development have advanced to the field test and marketing stage.
The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to year ending December 31, 2003:
Total current assets increased 83.8% to $5,736,038 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to $3,119,982 for the year ending December 31, 2003. Total assets increased 58.3% to $7,271,745 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to $4,592,716 for the year ending December 31, 2003. Total Current Liabilities increased 74.7% to $5,172,175 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to $2,960,899 for the year ending December 31, 2003. Total stockholders' equity increased 29.9% to $2,030,153 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to $1,562,399 for the year ending December 31, 2003.
The increase in assets was mainly due to the rise of Accounts Receivable primarily from large design projects. Accounts Receivable currently exceeds Accounts Payable by $3,782,255 and has increased by $1,454,686 from the previous quarterly reporting period on $2,743,777 in second quarter revenue. Inventory increased by $128,143 in the same time period. Accounts Payable increased by $436,894 from the end of the previous quarter in part as a result of an investment in increased inventory to support increasing Nauticon sales volume and shipments to new chain store accounts. The substantial increase in receivables and to a lesser extent the increased inventory has put significant pressure upon the cash flow. A substantial reduction in past due Accounts Receivables and increased cash flow from completed installations is expected in the third and fourth quarters 2004. The increase in liabilities since December 31, 2003 was mainly due to the increase of Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings on Contracts in Progress by $940,313 at the end of Q2. Commitments and contingencies of $69,417 are from old outstanding accounts payable from the previous RealCold Products and Nauticon operations. Management believes that these contingency debts will be written off over time.
During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company issued 666,042 common stock shares for equity; 210,000 options were exercised for cash of $210,000; 309,375 shares valued at $460,309 for private placements; 66,667 shares of common stock for the conversion of debt in the amount of $100,000; and 80,000 shares valued at $76,000 for financial and management consulting services.
Liquidity and Capital Resources: At June 30, 2004, the Companys working capital increased to $563,863 from a $159,083 position at December 31, 2003 as a result of the higher accounts receivable during the second quarter. Cash increase from $374,678 at year-end to $454,431 as of June 30, 2004. Inventory movement increased to $135,345 as the demand for product increased. Purchasing agreements with suppliers, coupled with the use of common parts throughout the product lines should minimize further growth in inventory levels and at the same time reduce the cost of product sold, improving the gross profit margin. Record quarterly sales drove accounts receivable to new levels.
Status of Operations: Management intends to continue to utilize and develop the intangible assets of the Company. At June 30, 2004, intangible assets comprised 17.4% of the Company's assets. The recovery of these intangible assets is dependent upon achieving profitable operations. It is Management's opinion that the Company's cash flow generated from current intangible assets is not impaired, and that recovery of its intangible assets, upon which profitable operations will be based, will occur. Management believes that its working capital is sufficient to support its growth plans for 2004. The Company recently became the beneficiary of up to a $25 Million financing program from a major commercial mortgage corporation, which provides the Company and its customers a leasing credit facility. And the Company also recentl y received $5 million in convertible debt financing on July 30, 2004.
The Company recently applied to the U.S. Patent Office for a new modular design heat exchanger patent that features superior modular and flexible designed plastic components. Utilizing polymeric materials provides additional value and innovation to PowerColds portfolio of products. Plastic components create a new platform for PowerCold to deliver energy efficient and cost-effective HVAC solutions for its customers.
A new patent application (third Nauticon® patent) which was filed in 2002 was recently submitted for an international filing as an enhanced evaporative condenser. Management believes that the additional development cost related to the new patent application will protect the companys intellectual property and improve opportunities for increased revenues and profits for the Companys Nauticon product line. Patents and acquired technology are amortized on a straight line basis over a 15 year life commencing with the beginning of product sales.
ITEM 3:
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The company, at the present time, has no exposure to market risk sensitive instruments entered into for trading purposes and instruments related to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, and other relevant market risks, such as equity price risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
QUARTERLY EVALUATION OF THE COMPANY'S DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, PowerColds Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and PowerColds Chief Financial Officer (CFO) evaluated, with the participation of PowerColds management, the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, which disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, PowerColds Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer each concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in the Companys i nternal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that may have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
CEO and CFO CERTIFICATIONS.
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this Quarterly Report there are two separate forms of "Certifications" of the CEO. The second form of Certification is required in accord with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certification). This section of the Quarterly Report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS.
Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; an d (3) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS.
The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur bec ause of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
SCOPE OF THE CONTROLS EVALUATION.
The CEO and CFO evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls included a review of the controls' objectives and design, the controls' implementation by the Company and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. In the course of the Controls Evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, controls problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation will be done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning controls effectiveness can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our Internal Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by our independent auditors in connection with their audit and review activities. Th e overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls and to make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls and the Internal Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.
Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any "significant deficiencies" or "material weaknesses" in the Company's Internal Controls, or whether the Company had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in the Company's Internal Controls. This information was important both for the Controls Evaluation generally and because items 5 and 6 in the Section 302 Certifications of the CEO and CFO require that the CEO and CFO disclose that information to our Board's Audit Committee and to our independent auditors and to report on related matters in this section of the Quarterly Report. In the professional auditing literature, "significant deficiencies" are referred to as "reportable conditions"; these are control issues that co uld have a significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A "material weakness" is defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other controls matters in the Controls Evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accord with our on-going procedures.
In accord with SEC requirements, the CEO and CFO note that, since the date of the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that could significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
CONCLUSIONS.
Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, our Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that material information relating to PowerCold Corporation, Inc. and its subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared, and that our Internal Controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
