NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Merger

 

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.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2012

(UNAUDITED)

 

For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes of the Company for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2012.

 

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.

 

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’s cash balances did not exceed the FDIC insurance limits as of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011.

 

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 $134,901 and $109,901 at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, 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 consist of the following:

Work in progress   -    119 
Total  $87,061   $118,761 

 

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 six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $7,693 and $5,782, 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.

 

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.

NUGEN HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2012

(UNAUDITED)

 

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.

 

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.

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 and bridge note agreements approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

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 has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU and the ASU did not 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 has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU and the ASU did not 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. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

 

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. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Reclassification

 

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

 

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,816,630, accumulated deficit of $6,959,540, net loss of $577,235 and negative cash flows from operations of $42,572 during the six months ended March 31, 2012. 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. 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.

Convertible 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.

 

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.

Promissory note dated August 23, 2007

 

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 March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, 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 E – Commitments and Contingencies below).

 

The Company is delinquent in its quarterly payments due August 15, 2011, November 15, 2011 and February 15, 2012. On January 6, 2012, New Generation Motors granted a waiver to defer these quarterly payments until March 7, 2012. On March 21, 2012, New Generation Motors extended this waiver until May 12, 2012.

 

Other

 

In November 2007, the Company purchased computer equipment and issued a four year note with fixed monthly payments of principal and interest at an annual rate of 18.45%. The balance due at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011 amounted to $0 and $272, respectively.

 

In August 2010, the Company purchased computer equipment and issued a three year note payable with fixed monthly payments of principal and interest at an annual rate of 0.38%. The Company negotiated a settlement with the lender to satisfy this debt in full and recorded a gain on debt extinguishment in the amount of $6,566. The balance due at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011 amounted to $0 and $7,548, respectively.

NOTE E - 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 and the note is in default.

 

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. Subsequent to March 31, 2012, Nugen received a letter demanding payment (see Note H). As of March 31, 2012, the Company does not believe that 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. Accordingly, it is not reflected as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet but rather it is included under “Commitments and Contingencies”.

 

Lease Commitments

 

We leased office/warehouse space located at 21641 Beaumeade Circle, Suite 314, Ashburn, Virginia under a three-year operating lease agreement that expires on October 31, 2013. On March 6, 2012, the lease agreement was terminated effective February 29, 2012. As a condition of the lease termination, the Company agreed to pay all past due amounts in twelve equal monthly installments of $3,848. No further payments are due for periods after February 29, 2012.

 

On December 2, 2011, we received a “Notice of Event of Default” from CIT Guilford Drive, LLC, our landlord through September 30, 2011. This notice requests that we pay our past due balance in the amount of $30,119.34 for past due rent for the period August 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011 for properties located at 44645 Guilford Drive, Suite 201, Ashburn, Virginia and 21641 Beaumeade Circle, Suite 314, Ashburn, Virginia within 10 days of receipt. We are in negotiations with CIT Guilford Drive, LLC and expect to reach a satisfactory settlement. This amount has been recorded as accounts payable at March 31, 2012.

Employment Agreements

 

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 March 31, 2012, one customer totaled $31,778 which was $36% of net accounts receivable.

 

We derive significant revenues from a few key customers. Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from one customer totaled $352,456 which was 82.0% of our 2012 revenues. Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2011 from one customer totaled $705,265 which was 70.6% of our 2011 revenues.

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.

·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.

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.

 

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 six months ended March 31, 2012 and for the year ended September 30, 2011 were estimated on the date of grant using the following range of assumptions:

 

   For the Six
Months Ended
March 31,

   For the Year

September 30,
2011
 
Risk(free interest rate)   .5%   .5%
Expected term (in years)   2    2 
Expected volatility   72%   72%
Dividend yield   0%   0%

 

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 March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $14,883 and $19,910, 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;

• our operating and financial performance; and

• the lack of liquidity of our capital stock.

NOTE H – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

We received a correspondence from Puranik and Company, the attorneys for ICICI Bank Limited. This letter was dated March 4, 2012 but was received by us on April 3, 2012. This letter was addressed to New Generation Motors, Inc., NuGen Mobility, Inc and Bajaj Auto Ltd. The letter requests that (1) New Generation Motors pay the amount of $1,400,000 pursuant to the $700,000 Conditional Grant Agreement dated October 30, 2001; (2) New Generation Motors pay the amount $962,763 pursuant to a $500,000 loan outlined in the Foreign Currency Facility Agreement dated March 3, 2003; (3) NuGen Mobility terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement between New Generation Motors and NuGen Mobility and; (4) requests the status from Bajaj Auto, Ltd of the Master License Agreement dated December 17, 2005.

 

As discussed in Note E, as of March 31, 2012, no payments are owed to ICICI, as Bajaj is not actively marketing the product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated. When we closed on the Asset Purchase Agreement and acquired substantially all of the assets of New Generation Motors, 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 in the form of royalties up to a maximum of $1,400,000 to ICICI once Bajaj begins paying licensing fees. As of the date of this report, Bajaj has not performed on its agreement, therefore no licensing fees from Bajaj have been earned and no licensing fee royalties have been paid to ICICI.

 

ICICI also provided a loan of $500,000 to New Generation Motors in March of 2003 to help finance New Generation Motors support of the Bajaj program. NuGen Mobility assumed this $500,000 liability on the condition that the loan is 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 $500,000 loan to a conditional grant under the same terms and conditions as the previous 2001 agreement. This conditional grant is only required to be paid back in the form of royalties to ICICI once Bajaj begins paying licensing fees. As of the date of this report, Bajaj has not performed on its agreement, therefore no licensing fees from Bajaj have been earned and no licensing fee royalties have been paid to ICICI.

 

Consequently, NuGen believes that ICICI’s position is without merit and will vigorously defend itself if and when legal proceedings are initiated.

ITEM 2. 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes total current assets, current liabilities and working capital at March 31, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011.

 

   March 31, 
2012
   September 30,
2011
 
         
Current Assets  $274,437   $323,061 
           
Current Liabilities  2,091,067   1,612,721 
           
Working Capital (Deficit)  $(1,816,630)  $(1,289,660)

 

Our principal source of funds has been equity provided by our stockholders, various borrowings (including borrowings from a principal stockholder) and sales to our customers. Our principal use of funds has been for operating expenses and direct labor costs. We estimate that we have sufficient funds to continue operations until approximately June 2012 (without giving effect to of the sale of our Series B Preferred Stock, as to which no assurance can be given, would raise approximately $2,300,000).

 

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 March 31, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $1,816,630.   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 further reduce 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 $42,572 and $872,025 for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Cash flows from financing activities was $67,473 and $182,763 for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, 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 and bridge loans. At March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we had $122,465 and $97,564 cash on hand, respectively.

For the six months ended March 31, 2012, we entered into a subscription agreement with one related party accredited investor pursuant to which, among other things, we issued an aggregate of 111,111 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 $20,000. This 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.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2012, we entered into a bridge note payable agreements for aggregate gross proceeds of $49,000 with one accredited investor and two related parties. These investors also received two and four-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 March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Company had a total of $698,608 and $692,118 of debt outstanding, respectively. The primary components of this total are $596,108 owed to New Generation Motors, $50,000 and $70,000 owed to holders of the Company’s convertible promissory notes at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively and $52,500 in short-term notes payable in 2012.

 

The Company is delinquent in its quarterly payments due August 15, 2011, November 15, 2011 and February 15, 2012. On January 6, 2012, New Generation Motors granted a waiver to defer these quarterly payments until March 7, 2012. On March 21, 2012, New Generation Motors extended this waiver until May 12, 2012.

 

On January 6, 2012, the Company and one investor agreed to extend the term of a $50,000 convertible note agreement until January 6, 2013 under the original terms and conditions and the Company converted one note in the amount of $20,000 plus accrued interest of $725 to 115,338 shares of common stock.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have disclosed in the notes to our financial statements those accounting policies that we consider to be significant in determining our results of operations and our financial position which are incorporated by reference herein. The following reflects the more critical accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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 has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU and the ASU did not 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 has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU and the ASU did not 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. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

 

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. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

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, November 15, 2011 and February 15, 2012. On January 6, 2012, New Generation Motors granted a waiver to defer these quarterly payments until March 7, 2012. On March 21, 2012, New Generation Motors extended this waiver until May 12, 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.  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 March 31, 2012, no payments are owed to ICICI, as Bajaj is not actively marketing the product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated.

 

We received a correspondence from Puranik and Company, the attorneys for ICICI Bank Limited. This letter was dated March 4, 2012 but was received by us on April 3, 2012. This letter was addressed to New Generation Motors, Inc., NuGen Mobility, Inc and Bajaj Auto Ltd. The letter requests that (1) New Generation Motors pay the amount of $1,400,000 pursuant to the $700,000 Conditional Grant Agreement dated October 30, 2001; (2) New Generation Motors pay the amount $962,763 pursuant to a $500,000 loan outlined in the Foreign Currency Facility Agreement dated March 3, 2003; (3) NuGen Mobility terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement between New Generation Motors and NuGen Mobility and; (4) requests the status from Bajaj Auto, Ltd of the Master License Agreement dated December 17, 2005. Nugen believes that ICICI’s position is without merit since Bajaj is not actively marketing the product at present and no payments are required until sales from this product are generated.
