·
On February 11, 2008, Exchequer, Inc., an entity affiliated with Henry Toh, our Vice Chairman, purchased all of the 100,000 outstanding shares of our common stock from the original sole stockholder for $97,000. We were then renamed InovaChem, Inc.

 
·
In June 2008, we acquired, through a reverse subsidiary merger, Trinterprise, LLC. As a result of this merger, the owners of Trinterprise became the owners of approximately 80% of our outstanding common stock. We contemplated that as a result of the Trinterprise acquisition that we would be engaged in the production and sale of sucralose (an artificial sweetener) and would pursue a strategic plan to reduce certain food, pharmaceutical and other products’ costs by using new technologies.   However, due to the uncertainty of the state of the economy and the inability to raise needed capital, InovaChem was unable to pursue this opportunity and abandoned this strategic plan.

 
·
NuGen Mobility, Inc. was organized as a Delaware corporation on September 8, 2006 for the purpose of engaging in research, development and manufacture of permanent magnet electric motors and related electric controls.

On January 29, 2010, pursuant to the Merger Agreement by and among NuGen Holdings, formerly known as InovaChem, NuGen and InovaChem Mergerco II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NuGen Holdings, and the other parties identified therein, InovaChem Mergerco II merged with and into NuGen, and NuGen, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NuGen Holdings.

 
·
On February 26, 2010, our board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation changing our name from InovaChem, Inc. to NuGen Holdings, Inc., which name change became effective in Delaware on March 4, 2010.

·
Private Placements

In connection with the Company’s private offering of its common stock, on January 29, 2010 and February 16, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,266,669 and 3,599,999, respectively, shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $0.15 per share for total cash proceeds of $1,480,000 and paid offering costs of $139,396.

In addition the Company has issued 70,000 common shares to its placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company also issued warrants valued at $53,640, as a finder’s fee, exercisable until March 16, 2011, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, to acquire an aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock.

On September 29, 2010, December 5, 2010 and March 30, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements with four foreign investors pursuant to which, among other things, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,225,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $0.16 per share, for total cash proceeds of $996,000 and paid offering costs of $5,645. Such issuances were made in reliance on an exemption from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements each investor executed and delivered to the Company (i) an irrevocable proxy appointing the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as his proxy to vote his shares, and (ii) a lock-up agreement pursuant to which each investor agreed not to transfer, dispose of or encumber any of the Company’s securities for a nine-month period.

 
·
Convertible Debt

On October 22, 2010, the Company entered into subscription agreements with two accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued 3% convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $70,000. The Notes were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Notes have a one-year term and are convertible by the Company into Common Stock at a price of $0.18 per share, subject to adjustment if the Company effects a stock split or issues a stock dividend. If the Company effects a merger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any person acquires 50% of its stock, then the Note will be convertible into such number and kind of shares as would have been issuable on account of such transaction. The Company may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes upon 3 business days’ notice and may repay any accrued interest in cash or additional shares of Common Stock. The amount due under the Notes will become immediately due and payable if the Company fails to pay unpaid principal on the maturity date which failure continues for 10 days, any representation or warranty made by the Company is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading, or the Company dissolves, liquidates, ceases operations, is unable to pay its debts when due, a receiver or trustee is appointed or bankruptcy proceeding are instituted.
 
The Company is in default of these agreements because it did not convert the promissory notes and accrued interest into common stock or repay the debt within the one year period.  The Company on January 6, 2012 began negotiations with these investors to convert this debt.  The Company believes it will be ultimately successful in converting this debt to stock per the original terms of the agreement.

 
·
Contributed Capital

During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s CEO worked for the Company without compensation. Included in compensation expense is $37,500 of contributed capital by the CEO. Management believes its estimate of the value of this contributed service is reasonable.

·
Preferred Stock

Class A Preferred Stock

The Company entered into an agreement with a representative of eleven accredited investors confirming that such investors have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, in the aggregate, a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum of $700,000 of our Class A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $0.15 per share. On March 8, 2011, we entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with such investors which replaced and superseded the prior agreement. The Option Agreement provides that the option to purchase the preferred stock terminates upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2011, (ii) 180 days after the effective date of the Amended Registration Statement or (iii) if the Company demands that the investors exercise their option in the event that the Company enters into an agreement with respect to at least $2,500,000 at no less than $0.30 per share and the investors do not so exercise their right of first refusal to purchase such shares. We had also issued the representative of such investors one-year warrants to acquire 360,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share; said person fully exercised his warrants on March 1, 2011.

If the investors exercise their option to purchase the preferred stock, they will be entitled to convert said preferred stock at their option at any time into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment for issuances of securities to third parties at a price less than $0.15 per share on a “full-ratchet basis” (i.e., so that we shall issue, free of charge to each holder of such preferred stock, such additional shares of Preferred Stock so that the total number of shares held by the such holder equals that number that would have been issued at the lower price) during the 6 months following issuance and on a "weighted average" basis for 42 months following said 6-month period. The “weighted average” anti-dilution protection uses a formula that adjusts the rate at which preferred stock converts into common stock based upon (i) the amount of money previously raised by the Company and the price per share at which it was raised and (ii) the amount of money being raised by the Company in the subsequent dilutive financing and the price per share at which such new money is being raised. This weighted average price (which will always be lower than the original purchase price following a dilutive financing) is then divided into the original purchase price in order to determine the number of shares of common stock into which each share of preferred stock is then convertible, which will be greater than one. Thus, a new reduced conversion price for the preferred stock is obtained, which results in an increased conversion rate for the preferred stock when converting to common stock. So long as the investors hold at least 5% of our outstanding capital stock in the aggregate, the holders of the preferred stock will also have pre-emptive rights, subject to certain exemptions for issuances under option plans or to strategic investors under certain circumstances.

The holders of the preferred stock will also have the right to designate one person to serve as a member of our board of directors. If we would ever grant certain rights to shareholders holding a prescribed percentage of our stock, the holders of the preferred shares would have the right to accumulate their shareholdings to determine if they are entitled to such rights. For example, if we would ever provide that more than 70% of the holders of our shares could require us to file a registration statement on their behalf, the holders of the preferred shares could aggregate their holdings to be part of that group. The investors will also be entitled to warrants to purchase the amount of shares of common stock equal to 10% of the total value of the investment in the preferred stock. The exercise price of the common share to be provided for in the warrant, which expires 12 months after it is issued, is $0.001 per share.

We have not yet filed a certificate of designation designating this Preferred Stock.  If and when the preferred shares are purchased, each investor will also have the right for 18 months to purchase shares of common stock from the Company’s CEO for an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

Series B Preferred Stock

The Company is offering a maximum of 13,888,889 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $0.18 per share and 2,777,778 Warrants; the investor is to receive Warrants equal to 20% of the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchased.  Such issuances were made in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act that the Series B Preferred Stock will be issued on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated there under. During the three months ended June 30, 2011. the Company entered into subscription agreements with eight accredited investors to purchase an aggregate of 1,627,778 Series B convertible preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share at a purchase price of $0.18 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $293,000.  Each investor also received two-year warrants to purchase in the aggregate 325,556 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company for $0 per share.

The Company filed a Certificate of Designations, Preference and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in Delaware. The Certificate of Designation provides for the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock to common stock of the Company on a one to one ratio. Cumulative dividends will accrue at the rate of $0.0054 per annum to be paid annually in shares of Series B Preferred Stock with the first payment due on July 1, 2012. The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference over capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock will be junior and subordinate to the Series A preferred stock, if and when an option to purchase such Series A preferred stock is exercised and Series A preferred stock is issued by the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock holders have voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock are convertible. The Series B Preferred Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters. The initial conversion price of $0.18 is subject to adjustment in the event of dividends, distributions, stock splits, or other occurrences, as set forth and in accordance with the formula in the Certificate of Designation. Any Series B Preferred Stock outstanding on December 31, 2012 is mandatorily convertible into common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock holders also have registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock are convertible.

Dividends accrued at September 30, 2011 and 2010 for Series B preferred stock holders amounted to $3,634 and $0, respectively.
 
General
 
We are, through our NuGen subsidiary, engaged in the development, design, and marketing of a technology related to creating a permanent magnet electrical motor systems. Our revenue is derived primarily from contract research and development engineering services. Our technology relates to specialty electric drive engines and related components. This technology is currently being sold directly to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) pursuant to technical assistance agreements. The agreements generally provide for us to engineer our technology to run in various platforms (e.g. vehicles, electric generators and motors) and to be adapted to a customer’s particular application. We offer these services from our facility located in Virginia, to customers that require high-efficiency, reliable, compact permanent magnet electrical motor systems, controllers, vehicle interface modules (including energy storage, management and monitoring systems) and related software. Our technology is used primarily to convert electrical power into mechanical power so that mechanical power can be used to propel a vehicle or run a generator and may be used in markets ranging from electric/hybrid electric vehicles to materials handling equipment, distributive power, ground support equipment, motion control, and military systems.

Our high-efficiency, compact motors, controllers, energy storage management and monitoring systems (a related component to the drive system that monitors and manages the use of an energy storage system such as, but not limited to, a battery) and related software have applications in markets ranging from electric/hybrid electric vehicles to materials handling equipment, distributive power, ground support equipment, motion control, and military applications.

Our proprietary, variable gap, axial flux technology (for these purposes, a motor in which the magnetic fields run parallel to the access of rotation) combines:

 
·
very high efficiency and torque density capability (generally, the amount of turning force in relation to weight of the electro-magnetic components of the motor);and
 
·
low or zero emissions.

Our current business plan is to expand on our established technology and market presence in the sale of proprietary and highly efficient, variable gap, axial flux, permanent magnet electric motors ranging from 1kW (to drive a two wheel vehicle) to 120 kW(to drive a truck or bus), for a broad range of commercial markets.

Our current primary market focus is the electric vehicle market in China and India where we believe, urban air and noise pollution and high fuel costs make our technology very attractive. China and India are currently the two largest markets in the world for electric vehicles and these markets will be instrumental in our strategy to become the lowest cost provider of light electric vehicles with the best performance in terms of efficiency and torque, and speed. We have also generated sales to various participants in an annual car race in the United States. This niche market not only generates sales of our variable gap in-wheel motors but also provides us an opportunity to test our products for use in various platforms at minimal cost.

Strategic Relationships and Customers

 
·
Mahindra Group

In June 2009, we entered into a 30-month technical assistance agreement for light transport vehicle drive systems with Mahindra Group, a leading manufacturer in India of utility vehicles, parts and accessories (“Mahindra”), to effectuate the next phases of integration of drive systems into 4 wheel transport vehicles. Under the agreement we will provide technical services including engineering, for electric drive and drive system components (i.e. systems that convert electrical power to mechanical power that will propel the vehicle and the related components, such as components that monitor and manage the use of the stored power). If and when this current phase is successfully completed, both parties could proceed to the mass production phase (i.e., commercial sales) which would require another agreement to be entered into by Mahindra and the Company.

 
·
Bajaj Auto Ltd.

Bajaj Auto Ltd. (“Bajaj Auto) was a party to a master license agreement with New Generation Motors which provided, among other things, that Bajaj Auto has (i) exclusive distribution licenses and the right to use one of our proprietary engineering designs (EMS-401-043) in their three-wheeled vehicle for sale anywhere in the world other than the United States (it is a non-exclusive right in the U.S), (ii) the exclusive license and right for the manufacturing specifications and technologies for use in their 3-wheeled vehicles that consist of an integrated electric motor and controller (which right applies to Bajaj Auto products built and marketed in India) and (iii) non-exclusive licenses for the manufacture and distribution of our product (EMS-401-043) in their various two- three- and four- wheeled vehicles, which right is exclusive in India with respect to two-wheeled vehicles.

Since commercial production did not commence within 3 years of the agreement, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, all rights there under became non-exclusive. Pursuant to the agreement, Bajaj Auto paid New Generation Motors a $245,500 fee with $400,000 to be paid, if at all, as follows: (i) $250,000 for the first 625 units of Bajaj Auto’s three wheeler products sold, based on a rate of $400 per unit; (ii) $50,000 upon the commencement of commercial production, which is defined as the completion of the initial 1,200 units and the remittance of preproduction technology fees of the products; (iii) $50,000 on completion of cumulative sale from the date of commencement of commercial production of 5,000 units of specified products; and (iv) $50,000 on completion of cumulative sale from the date of commencement of commercial production of 10,000 units of specified products. Under the agreement, Bajaj Auto is obligated to supply the first 300 units at cost and thereafter at 10% above cost. The term of the agreement is until the earlier of December 7, 2015 or 7 years from payment of 1,200 initial units and payments of a pre-production technology fee, and may be terminated by Bajaj Auto upon 90 days’ notice.

We have exclusive rights for the manufacture and sale of any improvements, modifications or developments of our technology and motor in the US. However, we do not have Baja Auto’s consent to the assignment of the master agreement to us or any other contractual agreement with Baja Auto. If Bajaj Auto begins to market their product with our motor, we intend to attempt to negotiate and enter into a commercial license agreement with Bajaj Auto. However, Bajaj Auto is not actively marketing its product at present and there can be no assurance that they will do so in the future or that we will be able to enter into a commercial agreement with Bajaj Auto and receive payments pursuant to the master license agreement or to any agreement.

 
·
BSA Motors of India

We were a party to a 12-month technical support agreement with BSA Motors of India, a subsidiary of the Murugappa Group (“BSA Motors”) which expired in September 2010. BSA Motors is in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing electric, hybrid electric and standard internal combustion engine two-wheelers (2w) currently primarily in India. Pursuant to the agreement, we provided technical support, including prototype development and demonstration, concept design and development and improvements for motor and controller systems for BSA Motors electric scooters with the long-term goal of becoming BSA Motors’ power train systems supplier. The agreement provided that we would not provide technical support regarding the development, manufacture or marketing of axial flux power train or new power train systems for 2-wheeler platforms to other OEMs during the term of the agreement in India and that BSA Motors would not develop new axial flux power train with any party other than us. BSA Motors also has a right of first refusal for the commercial application in India of motors and controllers for electric 2-wheelers developed by us during the term of the agreement. The BSA products discussed are about half the power and size, such as 2kW vs. 8kW, as those in the Bajaj Auto agreement described above.

US Department of Defense

We have a two-year agreement, as amended, effective June 2010, with the United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) for a Phase II (contract value ranging from $500,000-$750,000) Small Business Innovation Research program (“SBIR”) with the US Army to demonstrate our variable gap control technology for electric generators and motors for the purpose of validating applicability, performance and reliability on future platforms and to produce prototypes. We have a consultant specializing in this area to facilitate our efforts. We also plan to coordinate the SBIR efforts to our ‘Micro-Truck’ drive system to increase the marketability and performance of that system. Although we do not currently foresee not being able to perform under the agreement, the contract as stated is a fixed price contract based on deliverables and milestones. In the event that we would not be able to deliver and complete the work as described in the contract, due to such factors as our overall financial stability, “force majeure” events, or reallocation of government budgets, the contract may be temporarily or indefinitely terminated.

Niche/Specialized Market

We also have had a market in motors and controllers for solar racing teams worldwide, where our variable gap, in-wheel motors continue to produce winners in solar racing competition. Solar car competition participants may include future automotive and other EV industry engineers from top universities. More than 25% of the teams currently engaged in these activities have been, or are currently, our customers. The solar car market offers a unique opportunity for us as it provides benefits beyond sales and revenue. This niche market requires the most advanced systems that are available and pushes technology to the edge and inspires new continuing development that may not make general commercial sense. This offers us a market segment that allows for continued research and development to test products in extreme conditions so that we may apply the technology and lessons learned to primary commercial markets. Using our technology in solar cars has been beneficial in adopting our technology, at minimal cost for use in various platforms. We need to constantly ensure that our technology is adaptable to different platforms; having our technology utilized in the solar car competition provides us with a low cost opportunity to test our technology.

The Market

Primary markets for our core technology of variable gap, axial flux, permanent magnet motors include:

 
·
Low and Zero Emission Vehicles in Developing Countries: Worldwide requirements to reduce hydrocarbon fuel consumption and air pollution have created a large and emerging market for efficient, inexpensive and reliable, low and zero emission electric drive vehicles using batteries, fuel cells or hybrid configurations. Electric drive systems can be employed in the entire spectrum of small passenger vehicles including scooters, motorcycles, three-wheelers, neighborhood electric vehicles, compact cars, micro pickups and micro busses. We are targeting the entire segment of the small vehicle traction market and propose to supply electric drive systems technology with all prime movers.
 
 
·
Three-wheelers in India: Bajaj Auto currently builds approximately 300,000 three-wheel and 2,000,000 two-wheel vehicles per year. After five years of developmental and functional testing, Bajaj Auto began limited commercial production of Eco-Ricks, its all electric auto rickshaw, in December 2006 for additional public testing.
 
 
·
Four-wheelers: (Light Commercial Vehicles) under our agreement with Mahindra, we currently anticipate that Mahindra will produce a minimum of 1,200 vehicles for further market testing and evaluation.
 
 
·
Two-wheelers: 20 two-wheel scooters for Bajaj Auto were built, tested and certified by the government of India. Four additional platforms with intended deployments are being considered with BSA Motors.
 
 
·
Further extension of this vertical market includes such applications as electric all-terrain vehicles (were management estimates, based solely on informal discussions between our management and representatives of Mahindra, we believe volumes could exceed 10,000 vehicles per year), golf carts (with about 250,000 vehicle sales per year in the US), neighborhood electric vehicles, quadracycles, citicars and electric motor applications for 15’ to 45’ sailboats.

·
Materials Handling Equipment and Defense Applications: Airport ground support equipment, including baggage tractors and belt loaders are often powered by electric drive systems. We have supplied our technologies and products to Harlan Corporation for use in integrated starter generator units in their ground support vehicles.
 
Competition

All of the markets in which we operate are highly competitive. The markets served by the technology segment are additionally characterized by rapid changes due to technological advances that can render existing technologies and products obsolete.

We hope to market our advanced electric propulsion systems and components to vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and their suppliers throughout the world for use in electric, hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric and fuel cell electric vehicles. In recent years, the market for hybrid electric automobiles has begun to emerge, led by the introduction and market success of hybrid electric vehicles manufactured by Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Ford and General Motors. Recently, International Truck and Engine Corporation, Freightliner Trucks and Peterbilt Motors Company announced plans to begin production of hybrid electric medium-duty trucks and Caterpillar, Inc. introduced a belt-less engine/electric tracked bulldozer. As a result, we expect additional vehicle makers in both on-road and off-road markets to develop and introduce a variety of hybrid electric vehicles as the market acceptance of these vehicles continue to grow. To our knowledge, none of these companies manufacture axial flux motors; however their end application or market is the same market where our motors may be utilized. We believe that we are able to compete due to our topology or style of motor which offers unique characteristics. Our topology of motor is typically much shorter in length but larger in diameter than other styles of motors. Depending on the application and end use, this offers other potential options for the customers that the other competitors may not offer. In addition, our topology of motor generally offers greater torque capability for the same power level thus operating at lower speeds while still maintaining equivalent if not better efficiencies whereby the other systems typically will operate at higher speeds and lower torque to achieve the same power levels.

There can be no assurances that we will be able to compete successfully in this market or any other market that now exists or may develop in the future. There are numerous companies developing products that do or soon will compete with our systems. Some of these companies possess significantly greater financial, personnel and other resources than we do, including established supply arrangements and volume manufacturing operations. We believe our principal competitors for axial motors and similar products include Honda, Toyota, General Motors, Daimler, Hitachi, Toshiba, Siemens, Delphi, Danaher, Enova and United Technologies Corp., UQM Technologies, Inc. and Azure Dynamics.

Our technology which can be utilized for power products competes primarily in the automotive, heavy equipment, military, aerospace and medical products industries. Each of these industries is extremely competitive. We face substantial competition on a continuing basis from numerous companies, many of whom possess longer operating histories, significantly greater financial resources and marketing, distribution and manufacturing capability. Our technology can be used for such power products such as the electronic amplifiers and controllers are used to power and run electric motors. Presently most of these power products are tuned to operate with our motors but are useable to be able to run other types and manufactures electric motors. We believe our principal competitors for power products include Advanced Motors and Drives, Allied Motion, Emerson Electric, General Electric, Moog, Rockwell International, Baldor, Hitachi, Hyundai, Toshiba, Siemens, Delphi, Danaher, United Technologies, UQM Technologies, Inc., L-3 Communications and Enova.

We are currently not aware of other axial flux producers that operate in our space. Axial flux motors are a fairly new topology of motor which was not viable until the advent of new permanent magnets in about the late 1990s. Additionally, software capable of analyzing this type of motor topology was not available until approximately 2005 and is under continuing development to bring it to the same level of software that is used for more conventional electric motors. Until designs are made and these types of motors have been brought to production, the uncertainties and complexities of manufacturing this type of topology is unfamiliar as compared with the process control and learning on conventional motors. Therefore, the number of companies that operate in this space using axial flux topology is fairly limited and new and the potential number of competitors within this space is low as compared to the potential market size, we believe minimizing any chances or the effects of any competitor, if they were to exist. Additionally, since this is a new area, the information available is very limited as intellectual property that may be associated with axial flux motors is protected to ensure against competition.

We believe that we compete and that we will continue to be able to compete with our competitors in the engine drive and power product markets based on the limited number of competitors for axial flux motors, price, and our reputation with customers with whom we have worked. The competitive disadvantages that we face include that we are not as well known as many of our competitors who have greater resources (financial, engineering and otherwise) than we have.

Technology, Competitive Advantage, Value Proposition

Our high efficiency variable gap, axial flux, permanent magnet (“PM”) motors are different from conventional electric motors due to the different path of their magnetic flux.

 
·
Axial Flux Technology: In conventional motors the flux flows radially (i.e. outward from the access of rotation) through the air gap between the rotor (the rotating part of the motor) and the stator (the stationary part of the motor). However, in axial flux motors, the flux flows parallel to the axis of the motor. The motor, often referred to as a “pancake” rotor, can be made much thinner and lighter, with the same performance.
 
Our key competitive advantage is that our motors offer high torque density and installation in tight spaces, like inside wheel housings. We believe that this has been very compelling to companies like Bajaj Auto that seek low-cost, high efficiency motors for conversion from internal combustion to electric propulsion in small vehicles.

An additional competitive advantage of axial flux motors over conventional series wound or induction motors is their efficiency.

 
·
Variable Gap Technology: In our PM motors, the magnets create the working flux. This is different than an AC induction motor which is current-driven and does not use a permanent magnet. This fact is central to why a PM motor can be more efficient than other motors. Unfortunately, this is the same property that causes the most significant limitation of a PM motor; the permanent field causes a fixed relationship between winding current and motor torque. This relationship or “torque constant” (kT), also defines a fixed top speed of a PM motor. The higher the kT, the lower the top motor speed.
 
An axial flux PM motor is different than a radial flux PM motor, because the kT can be varied, without causing power loss by simply altering a critical geometry of the motor. Although there are many different contributors to the torque constant, the one of interest to us is the distance between the magnet rotor and the stator. In axial flux motors, the rotor and stator are adjacent discs and the “gap” is the space between the disks. By moving one of these discs axially relative to the other, the torque constant can be adjusted. This geometry can be varied statically (in the factory, simply with different spacers) or dynamically (by the vehicle controller). The result is optimal performance for various uses or drive conditions from the same electric motor. The variable gap allows for application-specific optimization of power, torque, and speed, while maximizing efficiency across the operating range. Application of this technology makes electric motors very efficient and can result in energy savings.

 
·
Efficiency: In accordance with National Electrical Manufacturers Association/International Electrical Technical Commission motor standard, general nominal efficiency of electric motors range from 78.8% to 92.4% efficiency depending on the size and power of the motor. In accordance with Energy Policy Act standards, premium efficiency electric motors achieve peak target efficiencies up to 95%. There is very limited data available regarding other axial flux motors since this a new topology of motor that very few if any have worked on. Stated unvalidated efficiencies have been seen from 60% to 95%. Our typical motors have total peak system efficiencies ranging from 92% to 96%. Removing the electronics from the system places the motors peak efficiencies in the range of 96% to 98%.
 
 
·
New Applications, In-Wheel Motors: We believe that there are other applications for this technology in low tech products ranging from ceiling fans to floor buffers; and to high tech products ranging from flywheels and military actuators. However, our primary focus is in-and near-wheel motors, that we have been selling for solar racing. Application of in-wheel technology plays to the strength of axial flux motors and our variable gap technology, and we believe is a compelling motive traction solution for electric, hybrid and fuel cell powered vehicles.

Manufacturing

We manufacture our axial flux motor system for our customers on a small scale basis. In particular, we are focused on the manufacture of prototypes requested by customers and the customization of our technology in these products in accordance with customer specifications. These activities are conducted in our Virginia based facilities. If and when there is significantly increased demand for our technology, we will have to outsource the manufacture of products containing our axial motor to others. In anticipation of increased demand for our technology, we are exploring outsourcing opportunities in China, though no assurance can be given that such capability will be required or if required, that we will be able to secure an outsourcing arrangement on satisfactory terms.

Research and Development Activities

Our research and development activities are included as part of the engineering and other services that are performed on a contract basis for our customers. We are generally not engaged in independent research and development activities.

Backlog

The Company believes the backlog metric is of limited utility in predicting future sales because a significant portion of the Company’s sales are made on a ship-to-order basis.

At September 30, 2011 the Company’s backlog, which includes all binding purchase contracts and accepted purchase orders, was approximately $381,000.  Variations in the magnitude and duration of contracts and customer delivery requirements may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and as such, are not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Recent Developments

We currently generate revenue primarily from contract research and development services and may derive additional revenues in the future from the sale or license of our technology to customers. Our technology is related to specialty electric drive engines and related components. This technology is currently being sold directly to OEMs pursuant to technical assistance agreements. The agreements generally provide for us to engineer our products to run in various platforms (e.g. vehicles, electric generators and motors). Our technology is used primarily to convert electrical power into mechanical power so that mechanical power can be used to propel a vehicle or run a generator. As our technology can be adapted for a particular application, our services utilizing our technology is customarily included in an engineering service component. Accordingly, the Company reflects its revenue in one line on its financial statements.

Future cash commitments

The Company estimates the need for capital to run new production facilities. The exact amount will be determined based on both the market demand for the Company’s products and the time needed for these facilities to run at full capacity. The Company will carefully review its financial condition and consider financing with internally generated cash, bank loans or additional equity.  The Company expects that its proceeds from operating cash flows and its cash balances, together with proceeds from sales of equity will be sufficient to meet its anticipated liquidity needs for the next twelve months.

Revenues from Hefei amounted to 53.1% of our total revenues in fiscal 2011 and consists the purchase and resale of specialized equipment for Hefei’s manufacturing facility amounting to $411,106 and engineering support services amounting to $350,538.  Revenues generated from the Department of Defense–Army increased by $211,848 from $77,388 and consist of 12 months and 3 months of progress billings for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  There were no revenues from BSA Motors of India, a subsidiary of the Murugappa Group (“BSA Motors”) as our technical support agreement with BSA Motors expired in September 2010 and the contract work under the agreement was completed. We are in discussions with BSA Motors regarding entering into a new commercial contract for the next stage of work required. While we hope to enter into such an agreement with BSA Motors, there can be no assurances that we will be able to do so or that the terms of such agreement would be favorable or that BSA Motors would decide to continue to do business with our company.

Direct Costs, Labor and Gross Loss:
 
Direct costs increased by $552,457 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 from $70,437 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 due to increased material costs because of higher revenues in fiscal 2011 and the purchase and resale of specialized equipment for Hefei’s manufacturing facility.  Direct labor increased by $387,827 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 from $622,377 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 to support higher revenues in 2011.  In addition, the increase of 8 employees hired throughout fiscal year 2010 were in place for all fiscal year 2011.
 
Our gross loss was $199,496 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 versus $259,825 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

Operating Expenses:

Our operating expenses increased by $298,885 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 from $1,302,953 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The increase consisted primarily of an increase in our compensation expense of $84,163.  Rent and office expense increased by $50,853 primarily due to the additional space rented at 21641 Beaumeade Circle, Suite 313, Ashburn, VA pursuant to a lease agreement dated October 1, 2011.   Bad debt expense increased by $109,901 from $0 in 2010 primarily due to managements estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in accounts receivable.

Other Expenses:
 
These expenses consist of interest expense and foreign currency transaction losses.  Interest expense for fiscal 2011 decreased by $16,369 from $60,262 in 2010 primarily due to the conversion of a large portion of our debt to equity in January 2010.

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development of revenue sources.  As of September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $1,289,660.   There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds if and when we wish to do so or on terms acceptable to us. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Specifically, in the event that we are not successful at raising capital to a level sufficient to pay our expenditures, we are prepared to reduced our administrative overhead and reduce our marketing and public relations expenditures. If we are unable to cut expenses to earn profits or raise additional debt or equity capital we will have to discontinue operations. The doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern was reflected in the opinion of our auditors expressed with respect to our financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 which opinion was qualified on a “going concern basis”. The auditors noted that in light of our negative cash flow from operations, our working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management currently intends to attempt to raise additional capital through public or private offerings, the conversion of its preferred stock option, the acquisition of a company; or merger with or into another company.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,211,946 and $1,492,451 for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash flows from financing activities was $465,312 for the year ended September 30, 2011, and was primarily due to the net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s equity securities, as well as, the sale of convertible notes. For the year ended September 30, 2010 cash flows from financing activities was $2,310,627, and was primarily due to the net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s equity securities.  At September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had $97,564 and 863,876 cash on hand, respectively.

In connection with the Company’s private offering of its common stock, on January 29, 2010 and February 16, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,266,669 and 3,599,999, respectively, shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $0.15 per share for total cash proceeds of $1,480,000 and paid offering costs of $85,757. In addition the Company has issued 70,000 shares to its placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company also issued warrants valued at $53,640, as a finder’s fee, exercisable until March 16, 2011, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, to acquire an aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock. Also, in connection with the Merger, holders of an aggregate of $915,475 of outstanding indebtedness of NuGen converted their promissory notes (based on a $0.15 per share conversion price) into an aggregate of 6,103,166 shares of Common Stock (“Debt Conversion”). This number includes the 466,667 shares which were converted by an individual holding $70,000 of indebtedness not represented by a note.

On September 29, 2010, December 5, 2010 and March 30, 2011, we entered into subscription agreements with foreign accredited investors pursuant to which, among other things, we issued an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares, 412,500 and 312,500 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $0.16 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $880,000, $66,000 and $50,000, respectively. In connection with the subscription agreements, each investor executed and delivered (i) an irrevocable proxy appointing, Eric Takamura, our Chief Executive Officer, as proxy to vote his shares, and (ii) a lock-up agreement pursuant to which each investor agreed not to transfer, dispose of or encumber any of our securities for a nine-month period.

On October 22, 2010 we entered into subscription agreements with two investors pursuant to which we issued 3% convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $70,000. The notes have a one-year term and are convertible by us into common stock at $0.18 per share. We may prepay all or apportion of the outstanding principal and interest under the notes and may repay any accrued interest in cash or additional shares of our common stock.  The Company is in default of these agreements because it did not convert the promissory notes and accrued interest into common stock or repay the debt within the one year period.  The Company on January 6, 2012 began negotiations with these investors to convert this debt.  The Company believes it will be ultimately successful in converting this debt to stock per the original terms of the agreement.

For the year ended September 30, 2011, we entered into subscription agreements with eight accredited investors pursuant to which, among other things, we issued an aggregate of 1,627,778 Series B convertible preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $0.18 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $293,000. Each investor also received two-year warrants to purchase common stock in an amount equal to 20% of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased by such investor.

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had a total of $692,118 and $617,344 of debt outstanding, respectively. The primary components of this total are $596,108 owed to New Generation Motors and $70,000 owed to holders of the Company’s convertible promissory notes in 2011 and $596,108 owed to New Generation Motors in 2010.

The Company is delinquent in its quarterly payments to New Generation Motors due August 15, 2011 and November 15, 2011.  On January 6, 2012, New Generation Motors granted a waiver to defer these quarterly payments until March 7, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2011-03; Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.  In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03. The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.

The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-04; Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.   In May, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted.

The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-05; Amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income.  In June, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.

The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recency of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating its timing of adoption of ASU 2011-05, but will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.

On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. This ASU would allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the ASU, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The ASU includes a number of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position.
 
Revenue and Cost Recognition

We currently generate revenue primarily from contract research and development services and may derive additional revenues in the future from the sale of our products to customers. Our products are specialty electric drive engines and related components. These products are a direct result of the services to design and build each unit, which each are built to each customer’s specifications. We account for the products sold as one unit. We intend in the future to derive revenue from sales of products and will recognize the sale at the time title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer which is typically when products are shipped based on the terms of the customer purchase agreement.

Revenue relating to long-term fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, contract revenues and related costs are recognized based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs.

Revenue under the Company’s SBIR contracts with both the US Army and the US Navy will be recognized in the same period as allowable and billable costs are incurred.

Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to cost and revenue, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs and other indirect costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued.

Use of estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of inventories and the recoverability of long-lived assets.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivables

In the normal course of business, the Company typically extends credit to its customers without requiring collateral or other security interests. Management reviews its accounts receivables at each reporting period to provide for an allowance against accounts receivable for an amount that could become uncollectible. This review process may involve the identification of payment problems with specific customers. The Company estimates this allowance based on the aging of the accounts receivable, historical collection experience, and other relevant factors, such as changes in the economy and the imposition of regulatory requirements that can have an impact on the industry. These factors continuously change, and can have an impact on collections and the Company’s estimation process. These impacts may be material.  Subsequent cash recoveries are recognized as income in the period when they occur.

Some customers are asked to provide deposits prior to the Company accepting their orders. Customer Deposits are reflected on the balance sheet as a current liability and are reclassified to revenue at the time when title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer.

Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets 

In accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

Share-Based Payment

At inception, the Company implemented ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment” which requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In August 2007, our subsidiary, NuGen Mobility entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it acquired substantially all of the assets, and specified liabilities of New Generation Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The agreement requires the payment to New Generation Motors of $1,000,000 pursuant to a promissory note, which bears simple interest at the rate of six percent. The principal amount of this note was reduced to $596,108 by the application of $403,892 in credits. These credits consist of:

 
·
an aggregate of $273,741 in operational loans made by our principal shareholders to New Generation Motors to allow them to continue operations prior to August 2007,
 
·
$101,083 in customer deposits that they retained though we were responsible for fulfilling such customer orders, and
 
·
$29,068 in amounts we agreed to pay to New Generation Motors’s landlord for back rent.

The principal and interest on the loan is to be repaid, on a quarterly basis, until all amounts due thereon have been paid. The amount of each payment is equal to the greater of:

 
(i)
$7,500, and

 
(ii)
the product obtained by multiplying our Gross Revenues (as defined) for the quarter by the applicable percentage rate.

The applicable percentage rate increases by one percentage point per year beginning at 2% for 2007 increasing to 6% for 2011 and all subsequent years. The payment is first applied to the accrued interest on the loan and the remainder, if any, to the principal amount owed. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $90,000 has been paid (twelve quarterly payments of $7,500 per quarter) and all of the payments have been applied to accrued interest. Accordingly, the principal balance of the loan has been $596,108 since August 2007.

In addition, if prior to July 13, 2014 we have paid this note in full, we are also required to pay until July 13, 2014, on a quarterly basis, the product obtained by multiplying 2.5% by the Gross Revenues in the applicable quarter. Gross Revenues is defined as:

 
(i)
all fees and other revenue that NuGen Mobility receives from any source,

 
(ii)
the then-current fair market value of (x)the assets purchased from New Generation Motors, or (y)the business (as a going concern) or portion thereof sold or otherwise transferred to our affiliate, and

 
(iii)
the proceeds from the sale or other disposition by NuGen Mobility to any other third party of all or any portion of (x) the assets and/or (y) the business as a going concern. To date, we have not been required to make any such payments.

 
The Company is delinquent in its quarterly payments due August 15, 2011 and November 15, 2011.  On January 6, 2012, New Generation Motors granted a waiver to defer these quarterly payments until March 7, 2012.

Although the purchased assets included a license agreement between New Generation Motors and Bajaj Auto Ltd., an Indian based manufacturer of two and three-wheel vehicles, pursuant to which Bajaj Auto licensed our technology which is embedded in Bajaj Auto’s three-wheel Auto-Rickshaw, do not have a consent from Bajaj Auto to the assignment of this agreement with New Generation Motors to us nor do we have any other agreement with Bajaj.

As part of this asset purchase agreement, we agreed to assume New Generation Motor’s commitment to reimburse a conditional grant of $700,000 that it had received from ICICI. We do not have a written assignment from ICICI regarding the assumption of this commitment. This conditional grant is only required to be paid back once Bajaj begins paying licensing fees on the technology mentioned above. If we had been assigned this agreement we would then be obligated to pay ICICI a royalty on the licensing fees received from Bajaj agreement until $1,400,000 is repaid based upon a schedule in the agreement. Since the dates provided for in the schedule to the agreement have passed, the agreement provides that if the actual sales deviate substantially, the royalty schedule will have to be changed. ICICI also provided a loan of $500,000 to New Generation Motors. In connection with this asset purchase agreement, NuGen Mobility assumed the repayment of this $500,000 loan on the condition that the loan would be converted to a conditional grant (similar to the conditional grant executed by New Generation Motors and ICICI in 2001). In 2006, both New Generation Motors and ICICI agreed to convert this second $500,000 loan to a conditional grant under the same terms and conditions as the previous 2001 agreement. However, we currently do not have a signed document indicating such agreement and there can be no assurances that our discussions will result in such conditional grant agreement. Therefore, under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, we are obligated to make payments to New Generation Motors on a conditional grant basis in accordance with the asset purchase agreement. Currently, no demand has been made to NuGen Mobility for payment; accordingly, we do not reflect this as a liability on our balance sheet but rather we include it under “Commitments and Contingencies” in our financial statement footnotes.

As of September 30, 2011, no payments are owed to New Generation Motors, as Bajaj is not actively marketing its product at present.

Accounting Treatment

The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. NuGen is the acquirer for accounting purposes and NuGen Holdings, formerly InovaChem, is the acquiree. Accordingly, NuGen’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the Merger. The accumulated deficit of NuGen is carried forward after the acquisition. Operations prior to the Merger are those of NuGen. Earnings per share for the period prior to the Merger are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the framework in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” promulgated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, commonly referred to as the “COSO” criteria. Based on the assessment performed, management believes that as of September 30, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based upon the COSO criteria. Additionally, based on management’s assessment, the Company determined that there were no material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Based solely on a review of Forms 3 and 4 during fiscal 2010, all filing requirements applicable to our directors and officers who are subject to Section 16(a) were complied with except that Ronald Takamura filed a late Form 3 to report his 10% beneficial ownership; Eric Takamura filed a late Form 3 to report his appointment as an officer and director and his 10% beneficial ownership and an option grant; John Salatino filed a late Form 3 to report his appointment as an officer and an option grant; Alan Pritzker filed a late Form 4 to report a purchase of shares and an option grant; Henry Toh filed two late Form 4s to report three sales of shares and an option grant; and Michael Kleinman filed a late Form 4 to report a purchase of shares.

Corporate Governance

Code of Ethics
 
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size.
 
Board Committees
 
Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate governance committee. The members of each committee are appointed by the board of directors and serve one year terms. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Our board of directors has not appointed a nominating committee and has not yet adopted procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
 
 
21

 
 
Audit Committee. The sole member of our audit committee is Dr. Michael Kleinman. The audit committee’s functions include overseeing the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, , the performance of our internal audit function and controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics that management and our board of directors have established and making recommendations with respect to the selection and qualifications of our independent registered public accounting firm. In this oversight capacity, the audit committee reviews the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered accounting firm, including any recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee is comprised of an outside director who is not an officer or employee of us or our subsidiaries. We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert serving on the audit committee. We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” We believe that Dr. Kleinman currently meets the definition of “independent” as promulgated by the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange.
 
Compensation Committee. The sole member of our compensation committee is Dr. Michael Kleinman. The compensation committee determines the goals and objectives, and makes determinations regarding the salary and bonus for the CEO, approves salaries and bonuses for the other executive officers, administers our incentive compensation plans and makes recommendations to the board of directors and senior management regarding our compensation programs.
 
Governance Committee. The sole member of our nominating and governance committee is Dr. Michael Kleinman. The governance committee is responsible for evaluating our governance and the governance of our board and its committees, monitoring our compliance and that of the board and its committees with our corporate governance guidelines, evaluating our corporate governance guidelines and reviewing those matters that require the review and consent of the independent directors of the board and that are not otherwise within the responsibilities delegated to another committee of the board.

Employment Agreements with Mr. Takamura
 
On February 9, 2010, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which we employed Eric Takamura as our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.   Mr. Takamura’s annual base salary is $180,000 and he is entitled to a signing bonus of $30,000. The signing bonus was paid. We granted Mr. Takamura, pursuant to our 2010 Stock Option Plan, options to acquire 900,000 shares of our common stock. The employment agreements also provide that he is entitled to receive such other benefits as may be made available by us to our employees and key executive officers (and with respect life, medical, health and death plans, such coverage is, with specified exceptions and limitations, to be provided to the employee and his family at our expense until the expiration of the applicable employee’s non-compete period (which may be as long as one year following termination of his employment)) and, in the discretion of our board of directors, annual bonuses (including a pro-rata annual bonus following termination without cause or for good reason if such bonus was awarded by the board). Mr. Takamura’s employment agreement provides that it is anticipated that he will receive an annual bonus of 100% of his base salary.
 
The term of employment is for three years, effective January 1, 2010 and the term of employment is renewed automatically for successive one year periods unless we or the employee gives notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the applicable term. We may terminate the employment of an employee before the stated expiration date for “Cause” (as defined in the applicable employment agreement) in which case we are only obligated to pay the employee his unpaid base salary through the termination date; provided, however, if the reason for terminating him for “Cause” is due to his material uncured breach of his employment agreement, we must pay him his base salary (as in effect at the time of termination) for nine months
 
We may also terminate either of these employees without “Cause” (which is defined as either: (i) the indictment of, or the bringing of formal charges against the executive on charges involving criminal fraud or embezzlement; (ii) the indictment of, or the brining of formal charges against executive of a crime involving an act or acts of dishonesty, fraud or moral turpitude by the executive, which act or acts constitute a felony; (iii) executive negligently or knowingly having caused the Company to violate the Company’s Bylaws or other policies; (iv) executive having committed acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company, including with respect to any valid contract to which the Company is a party; (v) executive having committed acts or omissions constituting a breach of executive’s duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty to the Company or any material act of dishonesty or fraud with respect to the Company which are not cured or substantially cured to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors of the Company in a reasonable time, which time shall be at least 5 days from receipt of written notice from the Company of such material breach; (vi) executive having committed acts or omissions constituting a material breach of his employment Agreement which are not cured or substantially cured to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors of the Company in a reasonable time, which time shall be at least 5 days from receipt of written notice from the Company setting forth with specificity the particulars of any such material breach as well as the corrective actions required. or either employee may, if he determines in good faith that he has “Good Reason” (as defined below), to terminate his employment. In either of such events, we are obligated to (A) continue to pay the employee his base salary (as in effect at the time of such termination) for the longer of (i) the balance of his employment term or (ii) twelve (12) months from the date of termination, (B) pay the employee his pro rata share of his annual bonus, if any, is awarded and (C) provide such employee with outplacement services. The term “Good Reason” means (w) our failure to appoint or reappoint the employee to his position or his removal from his office or position, (x) the employee is assigned duties materially inconsistent with his position or his position, authority, duties, or responsibilities are materially diminished, (y) our uncured breach of any material provision of the employee’s employment agreement, or (z) within twelve months following a “Change in Control” (as defined Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), a sale of substantially all of our assets or we are merged out of existence (collectively, a “Change of Control Event”).
 
In the event of change of control), sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or the merger out of existence of the Company should occur, all stock options awarded under the employment agreement will immediately vest and become exercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the stock options will terminate immediately following a termination of the executive for “Cause” and upon 180 days upon the voluntary termination of service by Mr. Takamura.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Eric Takamura was Chief Operating Officer of New Generation Motors from June 2004 to February 27, 2007. Henry Toh, Vice Chairman of our board of directors and an officer, is an officer and a director of Four M International, Inc. (“Four M”). In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 13, 2007, NuGen Mobility, among other things, assumed outstanding indebtedness to Four M in the amount of $62,500, pursuant to a one-year promissory note, dated April 23, 2003, payable at an interest rate of 5.5% per annum, in monthly installments commencing May 23, 2003. NuGen Mobility assumed this debt as a condition to the completion of the transaction imposed by New Generation Motors. In connection with the Merger, Four M received 386,250 shares in exchange for the cancellation of indebtedness of $57,938 which was still outstanding.
 
From August 2006 to June 2009, Ron Takamura, a principal stockholder and brother of Eric Takamura, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, and a director and a principal stockholder, made loans to us in the aggregate principal amount of $371,500, at interest rates of 10.2%. As of December 31, 2009 these loans accrued a total of $93,976 of interest thereon. We issued 3,103,173 shares of Common Stock to Ron Takamura in the Private Placement as a result for the cancellation of his debt (including accrued interest).
 
The agreements pursuant to which Eric Takamura and Ronald Takamura lent money to our company, as well as the agreement of Eric Takamura to forgive these loans and the agreement by which 71,667 shares of our common stock owned by Henry Toh were redeemed for $0.71 prior to the merger with NuGen Mobility were all oral agreements.
 
In December 2006, NuGen Mobility entered into an agreement with Hamilton Clarke, an investor relations firm that was a 10% shareholder at that time and whose shares were acquired by Eric Takamura in November 2009, to provide financial advisory services. NuGen Mobility granted the firm 111 shares of its Common Stock per the terms of the agreement. In January 2008 NuGen terminated its agreement with the firm and converted the $35,650 it owed the firm into a note payable. Interest accrued on this loan at the rate of 1% per annum. $25,000 was repaid by NuGen Mobility on February 22, 2010 and the remaining balance was forgiven by the consultant and the note was terminated
 
On September 29, 2010, December 5, 2010 and March 30, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements with four foreign investors pursuant to which, among other things, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,225,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $0.16 per share, for total cash proceeds of $996,000 and paid offering costs of $5,645. Such issuances were made in reliance on an exemption from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements each investor executed and delivered to the Company (i) an irrevocable proxy appointing the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as his proxy to vote his shares, and (ii) a lock(up agreement pursuant to which each investor agreed not to transfer, dispose of or encumber any of the Company’s securities for a nine-month period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of:
NuGen Holdings, Inc.
 
To the Board of Directors of:
NuGen Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NuGen Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the two years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of NuGen Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries   as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net working capital deficiency of $1,289,660, net loss of $1,850,016, accumulated deficit of $6,382,305 and negative cash flows from operations of $1,211,946. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note B. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On January 29, 2010, InovaChem, Inc., a Delaware corporation, completed the acquisition of NuGen Mobility, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NuGen” or “NuGen Mobility”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated January 29, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among InovaChem, Inc., NuGen and InovaChem Mergerco II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of InovaChem, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, NuGen merged (the “Merger”) with and into InovaChem Mergerco II, and NuGen, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly(owned subsidiary of InovaChem, Inc. On February 26, 2010, the board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation changing the Company’s name from InovaChem, Inc. to NuGen Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “NuGen Holdings”). The Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation became effective on March 4, 2010.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of NuGen’s common stock was converted into 24,422.48 shares of NuGen Holdings’ common stock. As a result, an aggregate of 27,133,384 shares of NuGen Holdings’ common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) were issued to the two shareholders of NuGen. Simultaneous with the closing of the Merger, 15,236,667 shares of Common Stock were redeemed by NuGen Holdings for a cash payment of $152. Following the redemption of these shares, the two shareholders of NuGen owned approximately 81% of NuGen Holdings.

The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. NuGen is the acquirer for accounting purposes and NuGen Holdings is the acquiree. Accordingly, NuGen’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the Merger. The accumulated deficit of NuGen is carried forward after the acquisition. Operations prior to the Merger are those of NuGen. Earnings per share for the period prior to the Merger are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.

Description of Business

The Company is engaged, through its wholly-owned subsidiary NuGen, in the research, development and sale of permanent magnet electric motors and the electronic controls for such motors. Our facility is located in Ashburn, Virginia. Our revenues are derived primarily from contract research and development engineering services. Our technology relates to specialty electric drive engines and related components. This technology is currently being sold directly to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) pursuant to technical assistance agreements. The agreements generally provide for us to engineer our technology to run in various platforms (e.g. vehicles, electric generators and motors) and to be adapted to a customer’s particular application. We offer these services from our facility located in Virginia, to customers that require high-efficiency, reliable, compact permanent magnet electrical motor systems, controllers, vehicle interface modules (including energy storage, management and monitoring systems) and related software. Our technology is used primarily to convert electrical power into mechanical power so that mechanical power can be used to propel a vehicle or run a generator and may be used in markets ranging from electric/hybrid electric vehicles to materials handling equipment, distributive power, ground support equipment, motion control, and military systems.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.  The significant estimates are allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence and valuation of equity instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

 
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NuGen Holdings, Inc, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NuGen Mobility, Inc., and Trinterprise, LLC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company had approximately $0 and $491,497 in excess of FDIC insurance limits as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowances for doubtful accounts each quarter performing evaluations of its customers and their ability to make payments. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance based on length of time past due, historical experience and judgment of economic conditions.  Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all options have been exhausted and recovery is considered unlikely.  As these factors change, the Company’s allowances for doubtful accounts may change in subsequent periods. Historically, losses have been within management’s expectations and have not been significant.
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $109,901 and $0 at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and is recorded as a reduction of accounts receivable.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market, net of adjustments for estimated excess inventory and obsolescence based upon the Company’s best estimate of future product demand.  Inventories at September 30, 2011 and 2010 consist of the following:
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
Raw materials
  $ 118,642     $ 0  
Work in progress
    119       222,915  
Total
  $ 118,761     $ 222,915  

Machinery and Equipment

Machinery and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is 5 years for computer equipment and 3 years for software.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $15,050 and $2,872, respectively.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

We currently generate revenue primarily from contract research and development services and may derive additional revenues in the future from the sale of our products to customers. Our products are specialty electric drive engines and related components. These products are a direct result of the services to design and build each unit, which each are built to each customer’s specifications. We account for the products sold as one unit. We intend in the future to derive revenue from sales of products and will recognize the sale at the time title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer which is typically when products are shipped based on the terms of the customer purchase agreement.

NUGEN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Some customers are asked to provide deposits prior to the Company accepting their orders. Customer Deposits are reflected on the balance sheet as a current liability and are reclassified to revenue at the time when title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer.

Revenue relating to long-term fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, contract revenues and related costs are recognized based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs.

The Company has entered into Small Business Innovation Research contracts with both the US Army and the US Navy.  The revenue under these contracts will be recognized in the same period as allowable and billable costs are incurred.

Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to cost and revenue, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The valuation of deferred tax assets may be reduced if future realization is not assured.

The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Given the substantial net operating losses and the related valuation allowance established against such amounts, the Company has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities. The Company's income tax returns for years subsequent to fiscal 2006 are currently open, by statute, for review by authorities. However, there is no examinations currently in progress and the Company is not aware of any pending audits.  The Company has filed all income tax returns.
 
Research and Development

Costs of researching and developing new technology, or significantly altering existing technology, are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Loss per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.

Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by all outstanding and potentially dilutive shares during the periods presented, unless the effect is anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive shares consist of the following at September 30, 2011 and 2010:
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
Warrants outstanding to purchase the Company’s common stock
    -       360,000  
                 
Employee options outstanding to purchase the Company’s common stock
    2,500,000       2,400,000  
                 
Series B-Preferred Stock and PIK dividends that provides for the conversion to common stock of the Company on a one to one ratio
    1,647,967       -  
                 
Series B-Warrants that can be converted to shares of common stock
    325,556       -  
                 
Conversion of notes
    388,889       -  
                 
Total potentially dilutive shares
    4,862,412       2,760,000  
 
These options, warrants and convertible shares have not been included in the weighted average number of shares as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses-related parties, notes payable and convertible notes approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Reclassification

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2011-03; Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.  In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03. The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.

The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-04; Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.   In May, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted.

The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-05; Amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income.  In June, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.

The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recency of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating its timing of adoption of ASU 2011-05, but will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.

On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. This ASU would allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the ASU, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The ASU includes a number of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position.

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
 
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,289,660, accumulated deficit of $6,382,305, net loss of $1,850,016 and negative cash flows from operations of $1,211,946 during the year ended September 30, 2011. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate additional revenues from operations, raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional revenues and funding, and to implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such funds if and when it wishes to do so or on terms acceptable to us. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Specifically, in the event that the Company is not successful at raising capital to a level sufficient to pay its expenditures, the Company will have to reduce administrative overhead and reduce marketing and public relations expenditures. If the Company is unable to cut expenses to earn profits or raise additional debt or equity capital the Company will have to discontinue operations.

Pursuant to the Promissory Note dated August 23, 2007, the Company accrues interest on the loan at the rate of 6% per annum. Quarterly payments are made based on a formula that multiplies the revenue of NuGen’s gross revenues by 2% for calendar year 2007, 3% for calendar year 2008, 4% for calendar year 2009, 5% for calendar year 2010 and 6% for calendar year 2011 and for all subsequent years until the loan is paid in full. In all years NuGen is required to pay a minimum of $7,500 per quarter and any payment made that exceeds the amount that would be due under the formula shall be treated as an advance against subsequent quarterly amounts due in excess of the $7,500 minimum payment.

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, no payments of principal have been made as NuGen’s quarterly revenues, multiplied by the appropriate percentage and reduced by advanced payments have not exceeded the $7,500 minimum payment The payments made have gone towards accrued interest only. Additionally, further revenue contingent payments may be owed, in the future (see Note F – Commitments and Contingencies below).
 
The Company is delinquent in its quarterly payments due August 15, 2011 and November 15, 2011.  On January 6, 2012, New Generation Motors granted a waiver to defer these quarterly payments until March 7, 2012.
 
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 23, 2007, the Company agreed to pay certain past due rent for New Generation Motors Corporation.  The balance owed to the landlord pursuant to this agreement amounted to $6,178 at September 30, 2010.  This amount is non interest bearing and has no set repayment terms.  This balance was converted to a term loan in October, 2010.

In November 2007, the Company purchased computer equipment and issued a four year note payable, included in “Other” on the above table.  The balance due at September 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $272 and $3,219, respectively. The Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of 18.45% per annum and makes monthly fixed payments of interest and principal.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

In December 2009 and January 2010, the Company received $50,000 and $20,000, respectively as bridge loans. The loans bear interest at 5% per annum and were converted in January 2010 in exchange for 466,667 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with its private placement.

In August 2010, the Company purchased computer equipment and issued a three year note payable, included in “Other” on the above table.  The balance due at September 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $7,548 and $11,839, respectively. The Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of 0.38% per annum and makes monthly fixed payments of interest and principal.

In October 2010, the Company converted certain past due amounts for rent pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 23, 2007 and certain other past due rent, charges and late fees owed to the landlord incurred after August 23, 2007 to a term loan and is included in “Other” on the above table. The balance due at September 30, 2011 amounted to $18,190.  The Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of 9.22% per annum and makes monthly fixed payments of interest and principal.

Convertible promissory notes

On October 22, 2010, the Company entered into subscription agreements with two accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued 3% convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $70,000 which is included on the Company’s Balance Sheet under convertible notes.

The Notes were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes have a one-year term and are convertible by the Company into Common Stock at a price of $0.18 per share, subject to adjustment if the Company effects a stock split or issues a stock dividend. If the Company effects a merger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any person acquires 50% of its stock, then the Note will be convertible into such number and kind of shares as would have been issuable on account of such transaction. The Company may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes upon 3 business days’ notice and may repay any accrued interest in cash or additional shares of Common Stock. The amount due under the Notes will become immediately due and payable if the Company fails to pay unpaid principal on the maturity date which failure continues for 10 days, any representation or warranty made by the Company is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading, or the Company dissolves, liquidates, ceases operations, is unable to pay its debts when due, a receiver or trustee is appointed or bankruptcy proceedings are instituted
 
The Company is in default of these agreements because it did not convert the promissory notes and accrued interest into common stock or repay the debt within the one year period.  The Company on January 6, 2012 began negotiations with these investors to convert this debt.  The Company believes it will be ultimately successful in converting this debt to stock per the original terms of the agreement.
 
NOTE D - INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 which requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.   ASC Topic 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Therefore, the net deferred tax asset and income tax expense have been fully offset by a valuation allowance of $2,378,394 and $1,697,989 at September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively and leaving a balance of $0 for both periods.

At September 30, 2011 the Company had net operating losses of approximately $6,000,000 for U.S. and state tax return purposes. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on future utilization of the federal and state net operating losses, to the extent that the Company incurs an ownership change as defined by Section 382. The Company has determined that it has experienced multiple ownership changes under Section 382. As a result of previous business combinations and changes in its ownership, there are NOLs that are subject to annual limitations on utilization. The U.S. NOLs begin to expire in 2021.

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had accounts payable and accrued expenses - related parties of $408,272 and $0 which includes unpaid salaries, reimbursable travel expenses and miscellaneous fees and expenses owed to corporate officers of the Company.
 
NOTE F - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In August 2007, our subsidiary, NuGen Mobility entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it acquired substantially all of the assets, and specified liabilities of New Generation Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The agreement requires the payment to New Generation Motors of $1,000,000 pursuant to a promissory note, which bears simple interest at the rate of six percent. The principal amount of this note was reduced to $596,108 by the application of $403,892 in credits. These credits consist of (i) an aggregate of $273,741 in operational loans made by our principal shareholders to New Generation Motors to allow them to continue operations prior to August 2007, (ii) $101,804 in customer deposits that they retained though we were responsible for fulfilling such customer orders, and (iii) $29,068 in amounts we agreed to pay to New Generation Motors’s landlord for back rent.

The principal and interest on the loan is to be repaid, on a quarterly basis, until all amounts due thereon have been paid. The amount of each payment is equal to the greater of (i) $7,500 and (ii) the product obtained by multiplying our Gross Revenues (as defined) for the quarter by the applicable percentage rate. The applicable percentage rate increases by one percentage point per year beginning at 2% for 2007 increasing to 6% for 2011 and all subsequent years. The payment is first applied to the accrued interest on the loan and the remainder, if any, to the principal amount owed. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $97,500 has been paid - 13 quarterly payments of $7,500 per quarter) and all of the payments have been applied to accrued interest. Accordingly, the principal balance of the loan has been $596,108 since August 2007.

In addition, if prior to July 13, 2014 we have paid this note in full, we are also required to pay until July 13, 2014, on a quarterly basis, the product obtained by multiplying 2.5% by the Gross Revenues in the applicable quarter. Gross Revenues is defined as (i) all fees and other revenue that NuGen Mobility receives from any source, (ii) the then(current fair market value of (x) the assets purchased from New Generation Motors, or (y) the business (as a going concern) or portion thereof sold or otherwise transferred to our affiliate, and (iii) the proceeds from the sale or other disposition by NuGen Mobility to any other third party of all or any portion of (x) the assets and/or (y) the business as a going concern. To date, we have not been required to make any such payments.

In connection with this transaction, NuGen also agreed to assume the commitment, entered into by New Generation Motors, for a conditional grant of $700,000 from an Indian export bank, which will be paid back through a 2% royalty on the license agreement until $1,400,000 is paid back. Additionally, the Indian export bank also provided a loan of $500,000 to New Generation Motors. In connection with this asset purchase agreement, NuGen Mobility assumed this $500,000 loan on the condition that the loan would be converted to a conditional grant (similar to the $700,000 conditional grant) and has agreed to make payments to New Generation Motors based on the conditional grant terms in the asset purchase Agreement. New Generation Motors reached such agreement with the Indian export bank but New Generation Motors and such bank never ratified such agreement. As such the Company did not assume the loan and the loan agreement remains between the Indian export bank and New Generation Motors. As of September 30, 2011 no payments are owed to New Generation Motors, as the Indian manufacturer is not actively marketing the product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated.

As part of the asset purchase agreement in August 2007, NuGen also agreed to assume the commitment, entered into by New Generation Motors, for a conditional grant of $700,000 from an Indian export bank, which is only required to be paid back once the Indian manufacturer begins paying licensing fees. NuGen does not have a written assignment from the Indian export bank regarding its assumption of this commitment. NuGen will then be obligated to pay the Indian export bank a royalty received from the Indian manufacturer until $1,400,000 is repaid based on a schedule in the agreement. Since the dates provided for in the schedule to the agreement have passed, the agreement provides that if the actual sales deviate substantially, the royalty schedule will have to be changed. To date, the parties have not updated the schedule of royalty payments. Additionally, the Indian export bank also provided a loan of $500,000 to New Generation Motors. In connection with this asset purchase agreement, NuGen assumed this $500,000 loan on the condition that the loan would be converted to a conditional grant (similar to the $700,000 conditional grant). In 2006, both New Generation Motors and the Indian export bank agreed to convert this second $500,000 loan to a conditional grant under the same terms and conditions as the previous agreement. However the Agreement was never signed and NuGen has treated the amount as a conditional grant due to New Generation Motors in accordance with the terms of the asset purchase agreement. Currently, no demand has been made to NuGen for payment; accordingly, it is not reflected as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet but rather it is included under “Commitments and Contingencies”. As of September 30, 2011 no payments are owed to the Indian export bank, as the Indian manufacturer is not actively marketing the product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

On June 30, 2011, Alan Pritzker resigned as the Company’s CFO.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Stock Option Plan, Mr. Pritzker’s options are forfeited if not exercised within 90 days of termination.   Mr. Pritzker did not exercise his options within 90 days and were consequently forfeited at September 30, 2011.

Effective July 1, 2011, we entered into employment agreement with Marshall G Webb to replace Alan Pritzker as our CFO.  This agreement provides for an annual salary of $120,000 which the board of directors may periodically increase but not decrease, and an annual bonus at the discretion of the Board, currently anticipated at 25% of the base salary. Mr. Webb is entitled to a special bonus of $15,000 for each $1,000,000 raised or 1.5% of any amount raised less than $1,000,000 raised following the current Series B financing effort underway.  Further, in the event CFO is directly involved in a Series B financing,  a bonus calculated in the aforementioned manner, i.e., fifteen thousand US Dollars (US $15,000) for each one million US Dollars (US $1,000,000) raised, or one and one-half percent (1.5%) of any amount less than one million US Dollars (US $1,000,000) raised shall be paid.  The Employment Agreement also provides for the grant of a ten-year option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share which will vest as to 125,000 shares upon the execution of the Agreement (July 1, 2011) and as to the balance ratably over a 12-month period beginning on July 31, 2011. All options will immediately vest and become exercisable upon a change of control, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, a merger in which the Company is not the surviving company, the Company replaces Mr. Webb for other than cause, or Mr. Webb is replaced by Series B investors.  The option will immediately terminate if Mr. Webb is terminated for cause and in 90 days if Mr. Webb resigns other than for good reason.

In the event Mr. Webb is terminated due to a material breach of the Employment Agreement which remains uncured for 30 days, the Company will be obligated to pay Mr. Webb’s base salary for three months from the date of termination. If the Company terminates Mr. Webb’s employment without cause, or Mr. Webb resigns for good reason, the Company will be obligated to pay Mr. Webb’s base salary for the longer of (i) the remaining term of the Employment Agreement or (ii) four months from the date of termination (“Termination Payments”) and any outstanding options will immediately vest and become exercisable.  If Mr. Webb is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, he will be entitled to a pro rata share of his annual bonus and to outplacement services for so long as he receives Termination Payments.

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Webb agreed not to compete with the Company during his term of employment and any period he is receiving Termination Payments and for one year thereafter (“Non-Compete Period”) and not to solicit or interfere with the Company’s employees, customers, suppliers or other business relationships for twelve months after the termination of his employment.

Unless terminated for cause, Mr. Webb and his family will be entitled to continued life, medical, health and death insurance coverage during any Non-Compete Period but only so long as Mr. Webb receives Termination Payments.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The risk in trade accounts receivable is mitigated by the credit worthiness of the companies comprising the Company’s customer base. At September 30, 2011, the Company does not believe it had any significant credit risks which are not provided for in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

We derive significant revenues from a few key customers. Revenues in fiscal year 2011 from our four largest customers totaled $1,228,312 which was 85.7% of our 2011 revenues.  Revenues in fiscal year 2010 from our three largest customers totaled $403,896 which was 93.3% of our 2010 revenues.  A summary of our largest customers is as follows:

NOTE G – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Immediately prior to the Merger dated January 29, 2010 described in Note A, the Company redeemed shares of stock from certain of its pre-merger stockholders such that a total of 6,278,346 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding prior to the Merger.

Upon the closing of this merger (the “Merger”), each issued and outstanding share of NuGen’s common stock was converted into 24,422.48 shares of NuGen Holding’s common stock. As a result, an aggregate of 27,133,384 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share were issued to the two shareholders of NuGen, Eric Takamura, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Ron Takamura.

Simultaneous with the closing of the Merger, 15,236,667 shares of common stock were redeemed by NuGen Holdings for a cash payment of $152. Included in this amount was 5,484,167 shares redeemed from our former Chairman & CEO, William Zuo; 5,484,167 shares redeemed from our former Secretary and VP, Xiaojing Li; 71,667 shares redeemed from our current officer and director, Henry Toh; 3,433,333 shares redeemed from our former Chief Science and Technical Officer, Shao Jun Xu; and 763,333 shares redeemed from Lu Yiu, a shareholder

In connection with the Company’s private offering of its common stock, on January 29, 2010 and February 16, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,266,669 and 3,599,999, respectively, shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $0.15 per share for total cash proceeds of $1,480,000 and paid offering costs of $139,396.

In addition the Company has issued 70,000 common shares to its placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company also issued warrants valued at $53,640, as a finder’s fee, exercisable until March 16, 2011, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, to acquire an aggregate of 360,000 shares of common stock.

On September 29, 2010, December 5, 2010 and March 30, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with four “accredited investors” pursuant to which the Company issued 5,500,000 shares, 412,500 shares and 312,500 shares, respectively, of common stock at a purchase price of $0.16 per share, for gross proceeds of $880,000, net of offering costs of $5,645, $66,000 and $50,000 respectively. Such issuances were made in reliance on an exemption from registration under Regulation D and/or S promulgated under the Securities Act. The investor also executed and delivered to the Company (i) an irrevocable proxy appointing the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as her proxy to vote her shares, and (ii) a lock-up agreement pursuant to which the investor agreed not to transfer, dispose of or encumber any of the Company’s securities for a nine-month period.

On October 22, 2010, the Company entered into subscription agreements with two accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued 3% convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $70,000. The Notes were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Notes have a one-year term and are convertible by the Company into Common Stock at a price of $0.18 per share, subject to adjustment if the Company effects a stock split or issues a stock dividend. If the Company effects a merger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any person acquires 50% of its stock, then the Note will be convertible into such number and kind of shares as would have been issuable on account of such transaction. The Company may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes upon 3 business days’ notice and may repay any accrued interest in cash or additional shares of Common Stock. The amount due under the Notes will become immediately due and payable if the Company fails to pay unpaid principal on the maturity date which failure continues for 10 days, any representation or warranty made by the Company is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading, or the Company dissolves, liquidates, ceases operations, is unable to pay its debts when due, a receiver or trustee is appointed or bankruptcy proceeding are instituted.
 
The Company is in default of these agreements because it did not convert the promissory notes and accrued interest into common stock or repay the debt within the one year period.  The Company on January 6, 2012 began negotiations with these investors to convert this debt.  The Company believes it will be ultimately successful in converting this debt to stock per the original terms of the agreement.

Debt Conversion

In connection with the Merger, holders of an aggregate of $915,475 of outstanding indebtedness of NuGen converted their promissory notes (based on a $0.15 per share conversion price) into an aggregate of 6,103,167 shares of common stock (“Debt Conversion”). Included in this amount was $465,476 of indebtedness owed Ronald Takamura, brother of the Chairman and CEO and $57,938 of indebtedness owed to Four M International. Henry Toh, Vice Chairman of our board of directors and an officer of our company is an officer and director of Four M International.

Contributed Capital

During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s CEO worked for the Company without compensation. Included in compensation expense is $37,500 of contributed capital by the CEO. Management believes its estimate of the value of this contributed service is reasonable.

Preferred Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.001 par value. As of September 30, 2011, no shares of Class A preferred stock have been issued; however, 1,627,778 shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been issued. Additional series of preferred stock may be designated and the related rights and preferences fixed by action of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 
·
Class A Preferred Stock
The Company entered into an agreement with a representative of eleven accredited investors confirming that such investors have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, in the aggregate, a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum of $700,000 of our Class A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $0.15 per share. On March 8, 2011, we entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with such investors which replaced and superseded the prior agreement. The Option Agreement provides that the option to purchase the preferred stock terminates upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2011, (ii) 180 days after the effective date of the Amended Registration Statement or (iii) if the Company demands that the investors exercise their option in the event that the Company enters into an agreement with respect to at least $2,500,000 at no less than $0.30 per share and the investors do not so exercise their right of first refusal to purchase such shares. We had also issued the representative of such investors one-year warrants to acquire 360,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share; said person fully exercised his warrant on March 1, 2011. If the investors exercise their option to purchase the preferred stock, they will be entitled to convert said preferred stock at their option at any time into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment for issuances of securities to third parties at a price less than $0.15 per share on a “full-ratchet basis” (i.e., so that we shall issue, free of charge to each holder of such preferred stock, such additional shares of Preferred Stock so that the total number of shares held by the such holder equals that number that would have been issued at the lower price) during the 6 months following issuance and on a "weighted average" basis for 42 months following said 6(month period. The “weighted average” anti-dilution protection uses a formula that adjusts the rate at which preferred stock converts into common stock based upon (i) the amount of money previously raised by the Company and the price per share at which it was raised and (ii) the amount of money being raised by the Company in the subsequent dilutive financing and the price per share at which such new money is being raised. This weighted average price (which will always be lower than the original purchase price following a dilutive financing) is then divided into the original purchase price in order to determine the number of shares of common stock into which each share of preferred stock is then convertible, which will be greater than one. Thus, a new reduced conversion price for the preferred stock is obtained, which results in an increased conversion rate for the preferred stock when converting to common stock. So long as the investors hold at least 5% of our outstanding capital stock in the aggregate, the holders of the preferred stock will also have pre-emptive rights, subject to certain exemptions for issuances under option plans or to strategic investors under certain circumstances. The holders of the preferred stock will also have the right to designate one person to serve as a member of our board of directors until the effectiveness of this prospectus. If we would ever grant certain rights to shareholders holding a prescribed percentage of our stock, the holders of the preferred shares would have the right to accumulate their shareholdings to determine if they are entitled to such rights. For example, if we would ever provide that more than 70% of the holders of our shares could require us to file a registration statement on their behalf, the holders of the preferred shares could aggregate their holdings to be part of that group. The investors will also be entitled to warrants to purchase the amount of shares of common stock equal to 10% of the total value of the investment in the preferred stock. The exercise price of the common share to be provided for in the warrant, which expires 12 months after it is issued, is $0.001 per share.

We have not yet filed a certificate of designation designating this Preferred Stock.

If and when the preferred shares are purchased, each investor will also have the right for 18 months to purchase shares of common stock from the Company’s CEO for an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

 
·
Series B Preferred Stock
The Company filed a Certificate of Designations, Preference and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in Delaware. The Certificate of Designation provides for the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock to common stock of the Company on a one to one ratio. Cumulative dividends will accrue at the rate of $0.0054 per annum to be paid annually in shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a $.18 per share conversion rate with the first payment due on July 1, 2012. The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference over capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock will be junior and subordinate to the Series A preferred stock, if and when an option to purchase such Series A preferred stock is exercised and Series A preferred stock is issued by the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock holders have voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock are convertible. The Series B Preferred Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters. The initial conversion price of $0.18 is subject to adjustment in the event of dividends, distributions, stock splits, or other occurrences, as set forth and in accordance with the formula in the Certificate of Designation. Any Series B Preferred Stock outstanding on December 31, 2012 is mandatorily convertible into common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock holders also have registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock are convertible.

The Company is offering a maximum of 13,888,889 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $0.18 per share and 2,777,778 Warrants; the investor is to receive Warrants equal to 20% of the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchased.  Such issuances were made in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, which the Series B Preferred Stock will be issued on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated there under. The Company has entered into subscription agreements with eight accredited investors to purchase an aggregate of 1,627,778 Series B convertible preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share at a purchase price of $0.18 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $293,000.  Each investor also received two-year warrants to purchase in the aggregate 325,556 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company.

Dividends accrued to the Series B Preferred Stock holders amounted to $3,634 and $0 at September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively.
 
Valuation of Stock-Based Awards, Common Stock and Warrants
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The fair value of stock-based awards to officers and employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.  We adopted the fair value method of accounting for our stock options granted to employees which requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award.  The resulting cost is recognized on a straight-line basis, which we believe better reflects the level of service to be provided by our employees over the vesting period of the awards, which is generally two years.

NUGEN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires inputs such as the risk-free interest rate, expected term and expected volatility. Further, the forfeiture rate also affects the amount of aggregate compensation. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant judgment.

 
·
The risk-free interest rate that we use is based on the United States Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for zero coupon United States Treasury notes with maturities approximating each grant’s expected life.

 
·
The expected term of options granted is calculated by using the SAB 107 “simplified method” of estimating the expected term which is derived by taking the average of the time to vesting and the full term of the option.

 
·
Our expected volatility is derived from the historical volatilities of several unrelated public companies within industries related to our business, including the automotive OEM and battery technology industries, because we have no trading history on our common stock. When making the selections of our peer companies within industries related to our business to be used in the volatility calculation, we also considered the stage of development, size and financial leverage of potential comparable companies. Our historical volatility is weighted based on certain qualitative factors and combined to produce a single volatility factor.

 
·
A forfeiture rate has not been estimated as these are the first options granted by us after our merger in January 2010.

The fair values of all stock options granted during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were estimated on the date of grant using the following range of assumptions:

   
2011
   
2010

We account for stock options issued to nonemployees also based on their estimated fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. However, the fair value of the equity awards granted to nonemployees is re-measured as the awards vest, and the resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense during the period the related services are rendered.

Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $43,624 and $25,996, respectively. 

Common Stock Valuation

We granted stock options with exercise prices equal or greater than the fair value of our common stock as determined at the date of grant by our Board of Directors. Because there has been no public market for our common stock, our Board of Directors has determined the fair value of our common stock by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including the following:

• arm’s length, third-party sales of our stock;

Equity Awards

On February 9, 2010, pursuant to the 2010 Stock Option Plan, the Company granted options to acquire an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to several executive officers and employees. Subject to vesting, these options are exercisable during the ten years from the grant date at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. The options vest pro rata in 24 equal monthly installments as of the last day of each fiscal month, with the first installment vesting as of January 1, 2010. All of the options vest immediately upon a Change of Control Event. These options terminate immediately following the termination of such person’s employment with the Company for “Cause” (as defined in such employee’s employment agreement described above and other than Cause relating to the employee’s material uncured breach of his employment agreement in which case the options terminate in accordance with their stated term) and 90 days after such person voluntarily terminates his employment other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in such person’s employment agreement).

On February 11, 2010, the Company granted an option to acquire an aggregate of 400,000 shares of its common stock to an executive officer of the Company at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, which option may be exercised on a cashless basis and may be exercised until February 29, 2012. Generally, options to acquire 100,000 shares may be exercised on a cumulative basis during the two weeks preceding August 31, 2010, February 28, 2011, August 31, 2011, and February 29, 2012, subject to accelerated exercise upon a change in control and the right to exercise the remaining option in the event of the termination of employment.

On June 30, 2011, Alan Pritzker resigned as the Company’s CFO.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Stock Option Plan, Mr. Pritzker’s options are forfeited if not exercised within 90 days of termination.   Mr. Pritzker did not exercise his options within 90 days and were consequently forfeited at September 30, 2011.

On July 1, 2011, the Company granted an option to acquire 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share which will vest as to 125,000 shares upon the execution of the Agreement (July 1, 2011) and as to the balance ratably over a 12-month period beginning on July 31, 2011, subject to accelerated exercise upon a change in control and the right to exercise the remaining option in the event of the termination of employment.
