Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

January 31, 2013

 

NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION

 

Organization

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 5, 2007, as Gas Salvage Corp. for the purpose of engaging in the exploration and development of oil and gas. In July 2008, the Company changed its name to Pinnacle Energy Corp. On February 1, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of the aircraft component part design, engineering and manufacturing assets of Harbin Aerospace Company, LLC (“HAC”). The transaction was structured as a business combination. Following completion of the HAC acquisition, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to dispose of the oil and gas business interests and focus on the aircraft component market. On February 10, 2010, the Company completed the sale of all of its oil and gas business interests in exchange for cancellation of all obligations under an outstanding promissory note having a principal amount of $1,000,000. Pursuant to FASB standards, the Company has retro-actively presented its oil and gas business as discontinued operations.

 

In March 2010, the Company changed its name to Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc.

 

On July 27, 2008, the Company completed a three-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock. The share and per-share information disclosed within this Form 10-Q reflect the completion of this stock split.

 

Business Overview

 

The Company was in the business of acquiring and developing oil and gas properties until February 2010.

 

The Company’s aircraft component business commenced on February 1, 2010. To date, its operations have focused on product design and engineering.  The Company has not commenced commercial manufacture or sales of its products.

 

The Company designs, manufactures and sells aerospace quality component parts for commercial and military aircraft, space vehicles, power plants and surface and undersea vessels.  These parts have applications in both newly constructed platforms and as spares for existing platforms. The Company’s initial products are self-lubricating spherical bearings that help with several flight-critical tasks, including aircraft flight controls and landing gear.   

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss from operations of $357,477 during the three months ended January 31, 2013, and an accumulated deficit of $10,825,137 since inception. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.

 

Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of common stock and/or a debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

 

The Company anticipates that losses will continue until such time, if ever, that the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues to support its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

  

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, for the respective periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2013.

 

On March 30, 2010, the Company acquired 25% of the outstanding share capital of Godfrey (China) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Godfrey”), in exchange for the Company’s technology used for the design and production of SAE-AS81820, 81934 and 81935 self-lubricated spherical bearings, bushings and rod-end bearings. The Company legally owns 25% of Godfrey. The investment in Godfrey has been accounted for under the Equity Method whereby the investment in Godfrey is treated as an asset. The asset has been determined to be fully impaired with no value being shown on the balance sheet. Income and losses proportional to the Company’s investment in Godfrey respectively increase or decrease the carrying value of the investment. Losses are only recognized to the extent of the Company’s investment in Godfrey. When and if the carrying value becomes zero, losses become suspended and are recognized only when Godfrey realizes income. At January 31, 2013 there were suspended losses of $583,648. See Note 4 for further discussion.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash and Equivalents

 

Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances at credit-worthy financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. There were no cash equivalents at January 31, 2013 or October 31, 2012.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment FASB ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

 

The Company has an indefinite-lived intangible asset (goodwill) relating to purchased blueprints, formulas, designs and processes for manufacturing and production of self-lubricated spherical bearings, bushings and rod-end bearings. The indefinite-lived intangible asset is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with the fair value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount is greater than fair value. Testing done for the year ended October 31, 2010, determined that the above mentioned intangible asset with a cost of $2,469,404 was fully impaired.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted FASB ASC 820 on October 1, 2008. Under this FASB, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

 

The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard including: cash and debt. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company’s cash is based on quoted prices and therefore classified as Level 1.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair market value due to their short term nature.

 

 

The following tables provide a summary of the fair values of assets and liabilities:

Goodwill and the investment in Godfrey have been recorded as fully impaired, see Notes 3 and 4.

 

The Company believes that the market rate of interest as of January 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 was not materially different to the rate of interest at which the convertible notes payable were issued. Accordingly, the Company believes that the fair value of the convertible notes payable approximated their carrying value at January 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under standards issued by the FASB. Under those standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recorded due to the net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately $2,687,259 as of January 31, 2013 that will be offset against future taxable income.  The available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,687,259 will expire in various years through 2032.  No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using straight line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The Company reviews the carrying value of long-term assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred. Major overhaul that extends the useful life of existing assets is capitalized. When equipment is retired or disposed, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in income. As of January 31, 2013, the useful lives of the office equipment ranged from five years to seven years.

 

 

Issuance of Shares for Non-Cash Consideration

 

The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more readily determinable. The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of standards issued by the FASB. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

In December of 2004, the FASB issued a standard which applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based on the fair value of those equity instruments. For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed methodology and amounts. Prior periods presented are not required to be restated. We adopted the standard as of inception and applied the standard using the modified prospective method. During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Company issued stock options to its Board of Directors and officer as compensation for their services. The options have been accounted for at a fair value as required by the FASB ASC 718.

 

Beneficial Conversion Features

 

From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

 

Development-Stage Company

 

The Company is considered a development-stage company, with limited operating revenues during the periods presented, as defined by the FASB. The FASB requires companies to report their operations, shareholders deficit and cash flows since inception through the date that revenues are generated from management’s intended operations, among other things. Management has defined inception as June 5, 2007. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses of $10,825,137. The Company’s working capital has been primarily generated through the sales of common stock. Management has provided financial data since June 5, 2007, “Inception”, in the financial statements.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company adopted the standard issued by the FASB, which requires presentation of basic earnings or loss per share and diluted earnings or loss per share. Basic income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) are similarly calculated using the treasury stock method except that the denominator is increased to reflect the potential dilution that would occur if dilutive securities at the end of the applicable period were exercised. There were 2,000,000 Series A Warrants, 2,000,000 Series B Warrants and options for 18,000,000 shares outstanding as of January 31, 2013 that are not included in the calculation of Diluted EPS as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

 

  

		For the Three Months Ended January 31,
		2013				2012
Net loss from operations		$	(357,477	)		$	(608,791	)
Basic and diluted net loss from operations per share		$	(0.00	)		$	(0.01	)

The weighted average numbers of shares included in the calculation above are post-split.

 

Recently Adopted and Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in ASU No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU No. 2011-05, in order to defer only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. The amendments are being made to allow the FASB time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 not affected by this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to impact its financial position or results of operations, as it only requires a change in the format of presentation.

 

 

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

On February 1, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of the aircraft component part design, engineering and manufacturing assets of Harbin Aerospace Company, LLC (“HAC”). The transaction was structured as a business combination in exchange for:

 

·

8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

·

A Series A common stock purchase warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Series A warrant becomes exercisable on the date that the Company recognizes revenue equal to or exceeding $50,000,000 for any consecutive twelve-month period and expires on January 31, 2015.

·

A Series B common stock purchase warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Series B warrant becomes exercisable on the date that the Company recognizes revenue equal to or exceeding $100,000,000 for any consecutive twelve-month period and expires on January 31, 2018.

·

The assumption by the Company of $260,000 of obligations under a convertible note. The convertible note assumed by the Company does not bear interest and becomes payable on March 12, 2011. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations; certain dividends and distributions; reclassification, exchange or substitution; reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets. As the convertible note does not bear interest, the Company recorded the present value of the convertible note obligation at $239,667 and accordingly recorded a convertible note payable for $260,000 and a corresponding debt discount of $20,333. Under the effective interest method, the Company accretes the note obligation to the face amount of the convertible note over the remaining term of the note. Debt discount expense totaled $9,394 for the year ended October 31, 2010. See Note 8 for further discussion.

·

The assumption by the Company of $200,000 of obligations under a note payable plus $11,737 of accrued interest. The holder of the note payable is the mother-in-law of William McKay, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. See Note 6 and 8 for further discussion.

·

Cancellation of $26,000 of HAC's secured promissory notes due to the Company.

 

The Company acquired intangible intellectual property including blueprints, formulas, designs and processes for manufacturing and production of self-lubricated spherical bearings, bushings and rod-end bearings. The transaction was deemed to be a business combination pursuant to the FASB standards.

 

The following table summarizes the entry recording the intangible assets acquired:

 

Intangible assets - goodwill		$	2,469,404
Debt discount on convertible note			20,333
Common stock			(8,000	)
Additional paid in capital			(1,984,000	)
Convertible note payable			(260,000	)
Note payable – related party			(200,000	)
Accrued interest on note payable			(11,737	)
Cancellation of HAC note receivable			(26,000	)
		$	–

  

These intangible assets (goodwill) are deemed to be indefinite-lived and accordingly are not amortized. The Company does perform an annual review for impairment. At October 31, 2010 a valuation of the purchase price was performed by an independent valuation expert who determined that the intangible assets were fully impaired. Accordingly, an allowance for impairment for the full cost of the property was established at October 31, 2010.

 

  

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION OF INTEREST IN GODFREY (CHINA) LIMITED

 

On March 30, 2010, the Company acquired 25% of the outstanding share capital of Godfrey (China) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Godfrey”), in exchange for the Company’s technology used for the design and production of SAE-AS81820, 81934 and 81935 self-lubricated spherical bearings, bushings and rod-end bearings. The Company legally owns 25% of Godfrey. The formation and acquisition of the interest in Godfrey is intended to assist the Company in its focus on the Chinese bearings market. In September 2010, Godfrey opened a production facility in Guangzhou, China. The Company received its 25% interest in Godfrey for a 50% interest in the intellectual property assets acquired on February 1, 2010 (as discussed in Note 3). Since the investment in Godfrey is an active investment, it has been accounted for under the “equity method”. Since the independent valuation determined that the purchase price allocation attributed no value to the intangible assets, there was no dollar investment in Godfrey by the Company and therefore no charge to the investment being impaired. At January 31, 2013, there were suspended losses of $583,648.

 

As there were no operations for Godfrey and the fact that Godfrey is being accounted for as an equity investment, no proforma presentation is necessary because there was no impact on the previously issued financial statements.

  

NOTE 5 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

On April 12, 2010, the Company purchased $82,500 of tooling for its proprietary bearings.  The Company and the vendor agreed that 328,000 shares of common stock would be issued as payment in full for the tooling assets.  As the value of the common stock obligation totaled $104,960 at April 12, 2010 (the closing stock price was $0.32 per share on April 12, 2010), the Company recorded in equity $104,960 and recorded a corresponding loss on settlement with stock for $22,460 for the difference between the value of the common stock to be issued and the value of the tooling asset acquired.  On June 9, 2010, the Company issued 328,000 shares of common stock to pay the obligation in full.  In May 2010 the Company sold the tooling to Godfrey for $132,880. The portion of the sales price in excess of the tooling’s original cost was deemed to be contributed capital due to the related party nature of the transaction.

 

As of January 31, 2013, the Company had office equipment of $3,687, net of accumulated depreciation of $1,595. For the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $181 and $153, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a Support Services Agreement with Cardiff Partners, LLC (formerly Strands Management Company, LLC) (the “Cardiff Agreement”). Matt Szot, our former Chief Financial Officer and former Secretary, is the Chief Financial Officer of Cardiff. Keith Moore and David Walters, former members of our board of directors, each own a 50% interest and is a managing member of Cardiff. Pursuant to the Cardiff Agreement, in consideration for providing certain services to the Company, Cardiff is entitled to a monthly fee in the amount of $10,000. The Company also issued 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Szot pursuant to the Cardiff Agreement.  The initial term of the Cardiff Agreement expired June 28, 2010. The Company incurred $120,500 in consulting fees under the terms of the agreement for the year ended October 31, 2010, which is included in consulting expenses. On January 28, 2010, the Company issued 448,340 shares of common stock as payment in full of $50,000 of outstanding balances due to Cardiff. As of October 31, 2010, $49,500 was outstanding under the agreement and is included in common stock to be issued.

 

 

On January 12, 2010, the Company amended the Cardiff Agreement.  Under the amended Cardiff Agreement, Cardiff has the option to accept payment of outstanding cash compensation owed to it under its agreements with the Company in the form of shares of our common stock.  The number of shares to be issued will be calculated by dividing the outstanding balance to be paid by 50% of the average of the closing prices for the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date that notice accepting shares in payment is sent to us.  In addition, under the amended Cardiff Agreement, Cardiff has provided and will provide the Company with transaction execution support services in connection with the HAC transaction, including due diligence, business review of relevant transaction documentation and audit support. As compensation for the additional services, in February 2010 the Company issued to Cardiff 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, a Series A common stock purchase warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a Series B common stock purchase warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Series A warrant has an exercise price of $0.50 and becomes exercisable on the date that the Company recognizes revenue equal to or exceeding $50,000,000 for any consecutive twelve-month period and expires on January 31, 2015.  The Series B warrant has an exercise price of $1.00 and becomes exercisable on the date that the Company recognizes revenue equal to or exceeding $100,000,000 for any consecutive twelve-month period and expires on January 31, 2018. The warrants have not been included in paid in capital because it is unlikely that in the near term the Company can attain revenue numbers high enough for the warrants to become exercisable.

 

On February 15, 2010, we entered into a placement agency and advisory services agreement with Monarch Bay Associates, LLC, a FINRA member investment banking firm. Mr. Walters is a manager and 50%-owner of Monarch Bay.  Under the agreement, Monarch Bay was to act as our placement agent on an exclusive basis with respect to private placements of our capital stock and as our exclusive advisor with respect to acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures and similar transactions. Pursuant to the agreement, Monarch Bay would receive fees equal to (a) 8% of the gross proceeds raised by us in any private placement, plus warrants to purchase 8% of the number of shares of common stock issued or issuable by us in connection with any private placement and (b) up to 5% of the total consideration paid or received by us or our stockholders in any acquisition, merger, joint venture or similar transaction.

 

On October 19, 2010, we entered into a settlement and release agreement with Cardiff Partners, LLC, Monarch Bay Associates, LLC, David Walters, Keith Moore and Matt Szot, collectively referred to as the “Cardiff parties.” Under the settlement and release agreement, we terminated the aforementioned agreements with Cardiff and Monarch Bay and all other agreements and arrangements between us, on the one hand, and any of the Cardiff parties in exchange for our issuance of 1,838,649 shares of our common stock to Cardiff Partners, LLC. We also agreed with the Cardiff parties to mutually release each other of all claims, known or unknown.

 

On July 1, 2011, a Complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, in Orange County, California, by Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. and one of our shareholders, Harbin Aerospace Company, LLC, against Monarch Bay Associates, LLC, a FINRA member firm, and certain of its officers, employees and affiliates, including David Walters, Keith Moore, Mathew Szot and Cardiff Partners, LLC (“Defendants”). The Complaint alleges that Monarch Bay Associates entered into investment banking agreements initially with Harbin Aerospace and then subsequently with Trans-Pacific Aerospace based upon certain misrepresentations and omissions of material fact by Monarch Bay and its principals, David Walters and Keith Moore. The Complaint further alleges that Monarch Bay, Walters, Moore and Szot breached their fiduciary duties owed to Trans-Pacific Aerospace and Harbin Aerospace and otherwise engaged in acts of securities and common law fraud, professional negligence and unlawful practices under the California Business and Professions Code. The Complaint seeks, among other things, (i) general and special damages in an amount to be proven at trial; (ii) the rescission of certain material agreements entered into between Trans-Pacific Aerospace or Harbin Aerospace, on the one hand, and the Defendants, on the other, and (iii) the Defendants return of all cash and stock-based compensation received from either Trans-Pacific Aerospace or Harbin Aerospace in breach of the defendants’ fiduciary duties or applicable law. David Walters and Keith Moore are former members of the board of directors of Trans-Pacific Aerospace and Walters and Mathew Szot are former executive officers of Trans-Pacific Aerospace. The Defendants as a group are believed to own in excess of 9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Trans-Pacific Aerospace.

 

On September 12, 2011, the Defendants filed a Cross-Complaint against Trans-Pacific Aerospace or Harbin Aerospace alleging the claims of Trans-Pacific Aerospace and Harbin Aerospace were released pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Release dated October 19, 2010 between Trans-Pacific Aerospace and the Defendants. In their Cross-Complaint, the Defendants allege that although Harbin Aerospace was not a party to the Settlement Agreement and Release, Harbin Aerospace had effectively transferred to Trans-Pacific Aerospace any claims Harbin Aerospace had against the Defendants as part of Harbin Aerospace’s sale of assets to Trans-Pacific Aerospace in February 2010, and that such claims were then effectively released by Trans-Pacific Aerospace by way of the Settlement Agreement and Release dated October 19, 2010.

 

 

On December 5, 2011, the Defendants filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint against the Company and Harbin Aerospace for declaratory relief, breach of contract, specific performance, and indemnity, alleging that the claims of the Company and Harbin were released pursuant to the aforementioned settlement agreement. The Company and Harbin have filed an Answer to the First Amended Cross-Complaint denying the allegations and setting forth affirmative defenses. The Company and Harbin believe that the allegations contained within this First Amended Cross-Complaint are meritless.

 

On January 30, 2013, the Company, Harbin, the Defendants, and other parties entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) resolving the action.  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Defendant Cardiff Partners, LLC (“Cardiff”) agreed to return 3,728,503 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for cancellation.  The Company agreed that Cardiff could retain 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and that the retained shares would be subject to a lock-up/leak-out arrangement.  In addition, the parties agreed to amend certain Series A and Series B common stock purchase warrants held by Cardiff to extend the expiration date of said warrants to March 20, 2021 (as described in Note 8) and to allow for the vesting of such warrants upon a “change in control” of the Company.  In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the Defendants for certain matters arising out of the Settlement Agreement and for certain matter arising out the Defendants’ status or conduct as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. The parties agreed to dismiss the action with prejudice and the Company, Harbin, and the other parties, on the one hand, and the Defendants, on the other hand, have agreed to a full and complete settlement and general release of all claims asserted by the parties regarding the subject matter of the action.  The court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

 

On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with David Walters, its former Chief Executive Officer and former member of its Board of Directors. Under the agreement, which had a term of one year, Mr. Walters received a base salary of $180,000, plus 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On January 12, 2010, the Company amended the Employment Agreement with Mr. Walters. Under the amended agreement, Mr. Walters had the option to accept payment of outstanding cash compensation owed to him under the agreement in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares to be issued is calculated by dividing the outstanding balance to be paid by 50% of the average of the closing prices for our common stock during the 20 trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date that notice accepting shares in payment is sent to the Company. On January 28, 2010, the Company issued 941,514 shares of common stock as payment in full of outstanding balances due to Mr. Walters totaling $105,000. As of October 31, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under the agreement. On October 19, 2010 the Agreement was terminated by mutual agreement of the parties.

 

As part of the acquisition of Harbin Aerospace Company (HAC), the Company assumed $200,000 of obligations under a note payable plus $11,737 of accrued interest. The holder of the note payable (Theodora Kobal) is the mother-in-law of William McKay, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. On June 4, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated convertible promissory note with Theodora Kobal which amended and restated in its entirety the Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $200,000 issued by HAC to Theodora Kobal on March 16, 2009, and assumed by the Company on February 1, 2010 in connection with its acquisition of the assets of HAC. The amended and restated note has a principal amount of $216,455 which included all outstanding interest due on the note. The amended and restated note includes a fixed conversion price of $0.058 per share, 7% interest rate per annum and was due and payable on June 3, 2011. In June 2010, the Company issued 2,200,000 shares of common stock to the note holder valued at $.058 per the agreement reducing its principal obligation by $127,600 pursuant to conversion requests. The Company has evaluated the conversion feature of the notes and determined that there was a $216,455 beneficial conversion feature on them as the fixed conversion price of $0.058 was less than the fair value of the common stock at the time of issuance. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount on the accompanying balance sheet. The amortization of the debt discount totaled $59,284 and $177,503 for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010.

No gain or loss has been recorded because it was converted within the terms of the agreement. Due to the reduction in conversion price at a rate below fair market value, this has been determined to be an induced conversion of debt under ASC 470-20, resulting in $55,000 of expense and corresponding paid in capital for the year ended October 31, 2011.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

As part of the acquisition of HAC, the Company assumed $260,000 of obligations under a convertible note. The convertible note assumed by the Company does not bear interest and became payable on March 12, 2011. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations; certain dividends and distributions; reclassification, exchange or substitution; reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets. As the convertible note does not bear interest, the Company recorded the present value of the convertible note obligation at $239,667 and accordingly recorded a convertible note payable for $260,000 and a corresponding debt discount of $20,333. Under the effective interest method, the Company accretes the note obligation to the face amount of the convertible note over the remaining term of the note. The discount was fully amortized at March 12, 2011. Debt discount expense totaled $7,452 and $12,880 for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The Company performed an evaluation and determined that the anti-dilution clause did not require derivative treatment. On September 16, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the note holder to extend the maturity date of the note. Pursuant to the agreement, the entire outstanding amount became fully due and payable on December 31, 2011. The note is now currently in default. For the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded imputed interest of $4,550 and $4,550, respectively.

 

As part of the acquisition of HAC, the Company assumed $200,000 of obligations under a note payable plus $11,737 of accrued interest. The holder of the note payable (Theodora Kobal) is the mother-in-law of William McKay, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The note bears interest at 7% per annum and principal and interest was due and payable on March 31, 2011. On June 4, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated convertible promissory note with Theodora Kobal which amended and restated in its entirety the Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $200,000 issued by HAC to Theodora Kobal on March 16, 2009, and assumed by the Company on February 1, 2010 in connection with its acquisition of the assets of HAC. The amended and restated note had a principal amount of $216,455 which included all outstanding interest due on the note. The amended and restated note included a fixed conversion price of $0.058 per share, 7% interest rate per annum and was due and payable on June 3, 2011. The Company has evaluated the conversion feature of the notes and determined that there was a $216,455 beneficial conversion feature on certain notes as the fixed conversion price of $0.058 was less than the fair value of the common stock at the time of issuance. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount on the accompanying balance sheet. The amortization of the debt discount totaled $59,284 and $177,503 for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010. In June 2010, the Company issued 2,200,000 shares of common stock at $.058 per share to the note holder reducing its principal obligation by $127,600 pursuant to conversion requests. On November 22, 2010 the note was further amended which resulted in the reduction of the conversion price from $0.058 to $0.029 per share and a corresponding loss of $55,000 on induced debt conversion was recorded. During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Company issued 3,063,958 shares of common stock to the note holder valued at $.029 per the agreement as a full payment of the note payable pursuant to conversion requests. No gain or loss was recorded because it was converted within the terms of the agreement.

Legal Proceedings

 

On July 1, 2011, a Complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, in Orange County, California, by Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. and one of our shareholders, Harbin Aerospace Company, LLC, against Monarch Bay Associates, LLC, a FINRA member firm, and certain of its officers, employees and affiliates, including David Walters, Keith Moore, Mathew Szot and Cardiff Partners, LLC (“Defendants”). The Complaint alleges that Monarch Bay Associates entered into investment banking agreements initially with Harbin Aerospace and then subsequently with Trans-Pacific Aerospace based upon certain misrepresentations and omissions of material fact by Monarch Bay and its principals, David Walters and Keith Moore. The Complaint further alleges that Monarch Bay, Walters, Moore and Szot breached their fiduciary duties owed to Trans-Pacific Aerospace and Harbin Aerospace and otherwise engaged in acts of securities and common law fraud, professional negligence and unlawful practices under the California Business and Professions Code. The Complaint seeks, among other things, (i) general and special damages in an amount to be proven at trial; (ii) the rescission of certain material agreements entered into between Trans-Pacific Aerospace or Harbin Aerospace, on the one hand, and the Defendants, on the other, and (iii) the Defendants return of all cash and stock-based compensation received from either Trans-Pacific Aerospace or Harbin Aerospace in breach of the defendants’ fiduciary duties or applicable law. David Walters and Keith Moore are former members of the board of directors of Trans-Pacific Aerospace and Walters and Mathew Szot are former executive officers of Trans-Pacific Aerospace. The Defendants as a group are believed to own in excess of 9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Trans-Pacific Aerospace.

 

On September 12, 2011, the Defendants filed a Cross-Complaint against Trans-Pacific Aerospace or Harbin Aerospace alleging the claims of Trans-Pacific Aerospace and Harbin Aerospace were released pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Release dated October 19, 2010 between Trans-Pacific Aerospace and the Defendants. In their Cross-Complaint, the Defendants allege that although Harbin Aerospace was not a party to the Settlement Agreement and Release, Harbin Aerospace had effectively transferred to Trans-Pacific Aerospace any claims Harbin Aerospace had against the Defendants as part of Harbin Aerospace’s sale of assets to Trans-Pacific Aerospace in February 2010, and that such claims were then effectively released by Trans-Pacific Aerospace by way of the Settlement Agreement and Release dated October 19, 2010.

 

 

On December 5, 2011, the Defendants filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint against the Company and Harbin Aerospace for declaratory relief, breach of contract, specific performance, and indemnity, alleging that the claims of the Company and Harbin were released pursuant to the aforementioned settlement agreement. The Company and Harbin have filed an Answer to the First Amended Cross-Complaint denying the allegations and setting forth affirmative defenses. The Company and Harbin believe that the allegations contained within this First Amended Cross-Complaint are meritless.

 

On January 30, 2013, the Company, Harbin, the Defendants, and other parties entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) resolving the action.  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Defendant Cardiff Partners, LLC (“Cardiff”) agreed to return 3,728,503 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for cancellation.  The Company agreed that Cardiff could retain 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and that the retained shares would be subject to a lock-up/leak-out arrangement.  In addition, the parties agreed to amend certain Series A and Series B common stock purchase warrants held by Cardiff to extend the expiration date of said warrants to March 20, 2021 and to allow for the vesting of such warrants upon a “change in control” of the Company.  In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the Defendants for certain matters arising out of the Settlement Agreement and for certain matter arising out the Defendants’ status or conduct as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company.  The parties agreed to dismiss the action with prejudice and the Company, Harbin, and the other parties, on the one hand, and the Defendants, on the other hand, have agreed to a full and complete settlement and general release of all claims asserted by the parties regarding the subject matter of the action.  The court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Events subsequent to January 31, 2013 have been evaluated through the date these financial statements were issued, to determine whether any events should be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading.  The following event occurred since January 31, 2013:

 

·

In February and March 2013, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.04 per share. Cash of $80,000 was received during this period.

 

·

In February and March 2013, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock in lieu of finders’ fees valued at $0.10 and $0.12 per share, which represents stock offering costs. Finders’ fees are treated as a reduction in paid in capital per current accounting guidance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

 

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Those forward-looking statements include our expectations, beliefs, intentions and strategies regarding the future. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, Godfrey (China) Limited’s successful qualification of its production facilities; Godfrey’s commencement of manufacturing operations; our distribution of Godfrey’s products; our working capital requirements and results of operations; the further approvals of regulatory authorities; production and/or quality control problems; the denial, suspension or revocation of privileged operating licenses by regulatory authorities; overall industry environment; competitive pressures and general economic conditions. These and other factors that may affect our financial results are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2013. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to update or revise such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur, and we urge readers to review and consider disclosures we make in this and other reports that discuss factors germane to our business. See in particular our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K subsequently filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Overview

 

We are engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling aerospace quality component parts for commercial and military aircraft, space vehicles, power plants and surface and undersea vessels. Our initial products will be self-lubricating spherical bearings for commercial aircraft. These bearings are integral to the operation of commercial aircraft and help with several flight-critical tasks, including aircraft flight controls and landing gear. As of the date of this report, we have not commenced commercial manufacture or sale of our products.

 

We commenced our aircraft component business in February 1, 2010. To date, our operations have focused on assisting Godfrey (China) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, in the development of its production facility in Guangzhou, China and the design and engineering of Godfrey’s initial product line of spherical bearings.  We own 25% of the capital stock of Godfrey.  Although we have no written agreements with Godfrey concerning our distribution of its products, we expect to market and distribute the products manufactured by Godfrey. Naval Air Systems Command (“NAVAIR”) of the United States Navy has completed the qualification testing of Godfrey’s initial line of bearings. Godfrey has received final approval from NAVAIR on March 5, 2013 and expects to commence manufacturing operations in the third quarter of 2013. We expect to commence marketing and distribution of sale of Godfrey’s initial product line of spherical bearings in the fourth quarter of 2013. 

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended January 31, 2013 and 2012

 

We have not commenced revenue producing operations and do not expect to until the fourth quarter of 2013, at the earliest, at which time we expect to commence the distribution of Godfrey’s line of spherical bearings.  During the three months ended January 31, 2013, we incurred $352,927 of operating expenses compared to $604,241 during the three months ended January 31, 2012.  Our operating expenses consist primarily of professional fees, consulting fees, and other general and administrative expenses. The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2013 compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 was primarily resulted from cost control efforts made by the Management. We expect our operating expenses will significantly increase at such time as we commence the distribution of Godfrey’s spherical bearings.

 

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred a net loss from operations of $357,477 and $608,791, respectively. The decrease was primarily resulted from cost control efforts made by the Management.  

 

Financial Condition

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of January 31, 2013, we had total assets of $14,788 and a working capital deficit of $443,869.  Since January 31, 2013, our working capital has decreased as a result of continuing losses from operations.  We estimate that we require approximately $2 million of additional working capital over the next 12 months in order to fund our expected marketing and distribution of the initial line of aircraft component products to be manufactured by Godfrey and to fund our expected operating losses as we endeavor to build revenue and achieve a profitable level of operations.  However, there are no commitments or understandings at this time with any third parties for their provision of capital to us.

 

We will endeavor to raise the additional required funds through various financing sources, including the sale of our equity and debt securities and, subject to our commencement of significant revenue producing operations, the procurement of commercial debt financing.  However, there can be no guarantees that such funds will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.  If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to expand or continue our business as desired and operating results may be adversely affected.  In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us or our stockholders.  Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility.  If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 states that due to our losses from operations and lack of working capital there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

None.

 

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  The term “disclosure controls and procedures” refers to the controls and procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. 

 

Based upon the above-described evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 31, 2013 due to certain material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.  An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2013, and this assessment identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

 

1.

Due to our small size, we do not maintain effective internal controls to assure segregation of duties as we have only one employee who is responsible for initiating and approving of transactions, thereby creating the segregation of duties weakness;

 

2.

Our board of directors does not have an audit committee or a financial expert to maintain effective oversight of our financial reporting process; and

 

3.

Lack of formal policies or procedures to provide assurance that relevant information is identified, captured, processed, and reported in an appropriate and timely fashion.

 

Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of January 31, 2013.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

 

On July 1, 2011, a Complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, in Orange County, California, by Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. and one of our shareholders, Harbin Aerospace Company, LLC, against Monarch Bay Associates, LLC, a FINRA member firm, and certain of its officers, employees and affiliates, including David Walters, Keith Moore, Mathew Szot and Cardiff Partners, LLC (“Defendants”). The Complaint alleges that Monarch Bay Associates entered into investment banking agreements initially with Harbin Aerospace and then subsequently with Trans-Pacific Aerospace based upon certain misrepresentations and omissions of material fact by Monarch Bay and its principals, David Walters and Keith Moore. The Complaint further alleges that Monarch Bay, Walters, Moore and Szot breached their fiduciary duties owed to Trans-Pacific Aerospace and Harbin Aerospace and otherwise engaged in acts of securities and common law fraud, professional negligence and unlawful practices under the California Business and Professions Code. The Complaint seeks, among other things, (i) general and special damages in an amount to be proven at trial; (ii) the rescission of certain material agreements entered into between Trans-Pacific Aerospace or Harbin Aerospace, on the one hand, and the Defendants, on the other, and (iii) the Defendants return of all cash and stock-based compensation received from either Trans-Pacific Aerospace or Harbin Aerospace in breach of the defendants’ fiduciary duties or applicable law. David Walters and Keith Moore are former members of the board of directors of Trans-Pacific Aerospace and Walters and Mathew Szot are former executive officers of Trans-Pacific Aerospace. The Defendants as a group are believed to own in excess of 9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Trans-Pacific Aerospace.

 

On September 12, 2011, the Defendants filed a Cross-Complaint against Trans-Pacific Aerospace or Harbin Aerospace alleging the claims of Trans-Pacific Aerospace and Harbin Aerospace were released pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Release dated October 19, 2010 between Trans-Pacific Aerospace and the Defendants. In their Cross-Complaint, the Defendants allege that although Harbin Aerospace was not a party to the Settlement Agreement and Release, Harbin Aerospace had effectively transferred to Trans-Pacific Aerospace any claims Harbin Aerospace had against the Defendants as part of Harbin Aerospace’s sale of assets to Trans-Pacific Aerospace in February 2010, and that such claims were then effectively released by Trans-Pacific Aerospace by way of the Settlement Agreement and Release dated October 19, 2010.

 

On December 5, 2011, the Defendants filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint against the Company and Harbin Aerospace for declaratory relief, breach of contract, specific performance, and indemnity, alleging that the claims of the Company and Harbin were released pursuant to the aforementioned settlement agreement. The Company and Harbin have filed an Answer to the First Amended Cross-Complaint denying the allegations and setting forth affirmative defenses. The Company and Harbin believe that the allegations contained within this First Amended Cross-Complaint are meritless.

 

On January 30, 2013, the Company, Harbin, the Defendants, and other parties entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) resolving the action.  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Defendant Cardiff Partners, LLC (“Cardiff”) agreed to return 3,728,503 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for cancellation.  The Company agreed that Cardiff could retain 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and that the retained shares would be subject to a lock-up/leak-out arrangement.  In addition, the parties agreed to amend certain Series A and Series B common stock purchase warrants held by Cardiff to extend the expiration date of said warrants to March 20, 2021 and to allow for the vesting of such warrants upon a “change in control” of the Company.  In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the Defendants for certain matters arising out of the Settlement Agreement and for certain matter arising out the Defendants’ status or conduct as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company.  The parties agreed to dismiss the action with prejudice and the Company, Harbin, and the other parties, on the one hand, and the Defendants, on the other hand, have agreed to a full and complete settlement and general release of all claims asserted by the parties regarding the subject matter of the action.  The court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

 

 

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

During the three months ended January 31, 2013, we entered into various purchase agreements with accredited investors for the sale of 3,152,305 shares of our common stock at a prices of $0.036 per share. Cash of $113,975 was received and the shares were issued during the three months ended January 31, 2013.

 

The aforementioned issuances were made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) and Rule 506 thereunder.  All of the investors were accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the 1933 Act.  The offering was conducted by management of the Company.  No sales commissions or finders’ fees were paid by us or anyone else. The shares of common stock have not been, and will not be, registered under the 1933 Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
