ABAKAN INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly,

they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial

statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)

considered necessary for a fair presentation of Abakan’s financial position as of November 30, 2013, and

the results of its operations and cash flows for the six months ended November 30, 2013, have been made.

Operating results for the six months ended November 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results

for the year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial

statements and notes for the year ended May 31, 2013 contained in  Abakan’s Form 10-K.

Consolidation Policy

The accompanying November 30, 2013 financial statements include Abakan’s accounts and the accounts of

its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in

consolidation. Abakan’s ownership of its subsidiaries as of November 30, 2013 is as follows:

Name of Subsidiary

Percentage of Ownership

AMP SEZC (Cayman)

100.0%

AMP Distributors (Florida)

100.0%

MesoCoat, Inc.

52.5%

MesoCoat, Inc. (“MesoCoat”) formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, MesoCoat Coating Services, Inc. on

June 13, 2013. There was no financial activity during the quarter ending November 30, 2013.

Non-Controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest represents the 47.5% minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the equity of

MesoCoat.  Abakan’s 52.5% controlling interest in MesoCoat requires that its operations be included in

its consolidated financial statements.  The equity interest of MesoCoat that is not owned by Abakan is

shown as a non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements.

Abakan’s 41% minority interest share of Powdermet, Inc.’s (“Powdermet”) income or loss is shown as

“Equity share of Powdermet income (loss)” in the statement of operations of the consolidated financial

statements. On June 13, 2013, Powdermet formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Terves Inc.

Development Stage Enterprise

At November 30, 2013, Abakan’s business operations had not fully developed and are dependent upon

funding and therefore Abakan is considered a development stage enterprise.

ABAKAN INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at face value, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Abakan provides an

allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's periodic review of accounts, including the

delinquency of account balances. Accounts are considered delinquent when payments have not been

received within the agreed upon terms, and are written off when management determines that collection is

not probable. As of November 30, 2013 management has determined that no allowance for doubtful

accounts is required.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents revenues collected but not earned as of the reporting date.

Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC 855-10 “Subsequent Events”, Abakan has evaluated subsequent events and

transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the

financial statements were issued (Note 9).

2.  GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Abakan will continue as a

going concern.  Abakan had net losses for the period from June 27, 2006 (inception) to the period ended

November 30, 2013, of $17,108,232 and a working capital deficit of $7,333,182.  These conditions raise

substantial doubt about Abakan’s ability to continue as a going concern. Abakan’s continuation as a

going concern is dependent on its ability to develop additional sources of capital, and/or achieve

profitable operations and positive cash flows. Since inception Abakan has funded its operations through

the issuance of common stock, debt financing, related party loans and advances. Abakan is committed to

aggressively pursuing its present business plan and, and will seek additional debt and or equity

financing as required to meet its objectives. The accompanying financial statements do not include any

adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

For the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012

3.   INVESTMENT IN NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

Powdermet, Inc.

Abakan owns a forty one percent (41%) interest in Powdermet.  Powdermet owns 47.5% of MesoCoat as

of November 30, 2013.  Abakan’s 41% ownership of Powdermet, results in indirect ownership of the

shares of MesoCoat that Powdermet owns.  On June 13, 2013, Powdermet formed a wholly owned

subsidiary, Terves Inc.  There was minimal financial activity during the quarter ending November 30,

2013, for Terves.  The results for Terves Inc. have been consolidated in the results of Powdermet.

We have analyzed our investment in accordance of “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures”

(ASC 323), and concluded that the acquisition of our 41% minority interest gives us significant influence

over Powdermet’s business actions, board of directors, and its management, and therefore we account for

our investment using the Equity Method. The table below reconciles our investment amount and equity

method amounts to the amount on the accompanying balance sheet.

Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which

assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options are used to repurchase common stock

at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the

potentially dilutive effect of the securities.

In periods where losses are reported the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding

excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other

parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,”

“plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future

performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-

looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those

discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future

Results and Financial Condition below.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto

included in this quarterly report and with the financial statements, notes and the Management

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations section for the year ended

May 31, 2013, contained in Abakan’s Form 10-K.  Our fiscal year end is May 31.

Abakan

Abakan, through its subsidiaries, designs, develops, manufactures, and markets advanced nano-composite

materials, innovative fabricated metal products, highly engineered metal composites, and engineered

reactive materials for applications in the oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, aerospace and defense,

energy, infrastructure and processing industries. Our technology portfolio currently includes high-speed,

large-area metal cladding technology, long-life nano-composite anti-corrosion and-wear coating

materials, high-strength, lightweight metal composites, and energetic materials. Operations are conducted

through our subsidiary, MesoCoat, Inc. (“MesoCoat”) and our affiliate, Powdermet, Inc. (“Powdermet”).

Abakan holds a 52.5% controlling interest in MesoCoat and a 41% non-controlling interest in Powdermet.

Powdermet directly owns the remaining 47.5% of MesoCoat.  Abakan’s interest in Powdermet represents

an additional 19.5% indirect interest in MesoCoat.  The combined direct and indirect interest equals a

total 72.0% ownership of MesoCoat by Abakan.

MesoCoat

MesoCoat’s Business

MesoCoat is an Ohio based materials science company intending to become a technology leader in metal

protection and repair based on its metal coating and metal cladding technologies designed to address

specific industry needs related to conventional oil and gas, oil sands, mining, aerospace, defense,

infrastructure, and shipbuilding. The company was originally formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of

Powdermet, known as Powdermet Coating Technologies, Inc., to focus on the further development and

commercialization of Powdermet’s nano-composite coatings technologies. The company was renamed as

MesoCoat in March of 2008. Thereafter, in July of 2008, the coatings and cladding assets of Powdermet

were conveyed to MesoCoat through an asset transfer, an IP license, and a technology transfer and

manufacturing support agreement.  MesoCoat has exclusively licensed and further developed advanced

nano-composite coating materials as well as a proprietary high speed metal cladding process.  MesoCoat

is focused on combining corrosion and wear resistant alloys and nano-engineered cermet materials with

proprietary high-speed coating or cladding application systems, which will improve the performance life

of any coated product at a better value proposition than current alternatives.

16



MesoCoat’s commercial revenues are comprised of sales of PComP powders. Additional revenue is

realized from grants and commercial development contracts for product development and customer-

specific solutions. The provision of thermal spray application services will generate commercial revenue

within our next reporting period.

PComP nano-composite cermet coating solutions unite high wear, corrosion resistance, and toughness,

with a low friction coefficient into one product structure using patented microstructural engineering

techniques.  MesoCoat’s Cermaclad cladding solutions offer improved metallurgy and higher

application rates compared to other hardfacing and weld cladding alternatives.   Three of MesoCoat’s

PComP wear products, PComP-W333, PComP W104, and PComP-T48 are utilized by original

equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) and are being sold commercially . PComP-M nano-composite metal

boride solutions for molten metal corrosion resistance are undergoing extended field testing in preparation

for market launch.

MesoCoat’s CermaClad CRA solutions, primarily alloy 625 claddings,  are in the process of  extensive

internal and external evaluation, certification, and qualification to API (American Petrochemical Institute)

and major oil company standards to ensure compliance with rigorous industry requirements.

Cermaclad WRA (wear resistant alloys), including tungsten carbine, nano-composite chromium

carbide, and structurally amorphous metal (SAM) alloy claddings are also undergoing advanced testing

and qualification for use in the construction equipment, mining, and oil sands extraction industries.

MesoCoat is working to increase PComP powder production and coating services to meet current and

projected demand.

PComP

PComP is a family of nano-composite cermet coatings that are used to impart wear and corrosion

resistance, and to restore the dimensions of metal components, in an environmentally acceptable manner.

Our product competes against chrome and nickel plating, and tungsten carbide thermal spray coatings in

the multibillion dollar inorganic metal finishing market.  Competing materials like hexavalent chrome,

carbides and tungsten carbide cobalt have become major headaches for industrial producers in the metal

finishing industry since these materials are on the EPA’s hazardous materials watch list and many are

banned in a number of countries. While businesses grapple with the need to transition away from these

harmful products, PComP has become a performance leading solutions platform which has shown

order of magnitude improvements in head to head wear and corrosion performance testing while being

recognized as one of the few economically viable industry replacement solutions for hard chrome and

carbides due to the product line’s advanced corrosion, friction, wear and thermal barrier properties.

The PComP portfolio of products utilize nano-structural engineering within a patented family of

corrosion resistant coating solutions that combine extreme wear resistance, fracture toughness

(resiliency), and a low friction coefficient in one product. Conventional materials science normally causes

toughness to decrease as hardness and wear resistance increase. Our combination of nano-level structure

control and advanced ductile phase toughening materials science with engineered nitride, carbide, and

boride ceramic materials, has developed patented coating systems that are both very tough and very wear

resistant. These materials are tailored for specific environments and applications such as molten metal

processing, oil and gas pumping and flow control, and aerospace hydraulics. The unique nano-structure of

the PComP coatings also result in decreased friction properties similar to those of diamond-like carbon

films and solid lubricants that can be used structurally and applied to large components at a fraction of the

cost of coatings such as diamond-like carbon.  Low friction reduces wear, improves energy efficiency and

extends the life of sliding components, such as drilling rotors, plungers, mandrels, ball and gate valves,

and metal processing equipment.

17



Equally important, the unique nano-structural design and material combinations of the PComP coating

solutions results in coatings can be applied and machined much faster than a product based on traditional

carbide or other ceramic coating. The higher speeds associated with PComP coating applications, and

the final machining, results in higher productivity and reduced costs in metal finishing operations, while

meeting the highest performance requirements of targeted applications.

The PComP product lines are being positioned to compete with two dominant product alternatives:

hard chrome plating and tungsten carbide thermal spray coatings. Our family of nano-composite coatings

consists of five products, all of which have shown, in testing by third parties, to provide better wear,

corrosion and mechanical properties at a lower life cycle cost than most of today’s alternatives. PComP

product lines are expected to provide a high degree of product differentiation and a sustainable

competitive advantage in the $10 billion inorganic metal finishing markets, which include original

equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) components and the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of industrial

assets and machinery in the “components and coatings” segment of our business.

 

MesoCoat is selling PComP™ coating materials through different channels appropriate to each specific market. OEM’s and government agencies like the U.S. Air Force procure PComP™ raw powders, being vertically integrated, have applied our powders using their own thermal spray and coating application processes. MesoCoat plans to offer coating application services on a regional basis to prospective customers that do not have the capacity to coat their own products. An effort to expand geographically our reach into the higher margin market for coating services is underway. MesoCoat is in the process of qualifying regional application partners in Houston, Alberta, Canada, and Los Angeles to provide thermal spray coating services, and identifying regional metal finishing suppliers for the possibility of future acquisition. The realization of an expansion of our ability to service the need for coating application services is expected to support the economies of scale required for powder production in order to meet product cost targets.

 

CermaClad

CermaClad is MesoCoat’s cladding process, exclusively licensed from Oak Ridge National Laboratory,

which utilizes a high power plasma arc lamp, to melt, fuse, and metallurgically bond metals, corrosion

resistant alloys and/or cermets onto metal substrates, such as plate, pipe, or large components to protect

against harsh operating environments. Our metallurgically bonded clad steel solution is optimized to

manage the consequences of wear and corrosion damage that can lead to the failure of large oil and gas

assets. Oil and gas risers, flowlines, refinery/chemical processing towers and transfer lines, power plant

heat exchanger tubes, ships, and bridges all suffer from wear and corrosion damage over time. Within

corrosive environments, including seawater, road salt, mining slurry transport lines, unprocessed oil

containing water, hydrogen  sulfide, carbon dioxide, chemical processing and transportation equipment,

metals production, and other large industrial applications, asset owners or operators either need to

continually maintain and periodically replace major assets, or fabricate assets using expensive, corrosion

resistant alloy (CRA) materials.

CermaClad will offer a competing, lower overall cost solution to expensive alloys that combines lower

cost carbon steel clad with a corrosion resistant alloy.  A clad steel solution such as CermaClad is

typically less than half the cost of solid alloy alternatives   and  in some applications, can save up to three

quarters of the capital investment cost, with maintenance free corrosion lifetimes equal to the projected

life of any given asset which may range from 30 to 200 years. Management believes that the

CermaClad process and related equipment offers the lowest capital cost per unit production, and is

scalable to large volumes with low to modest capital investment in plant requirements.

18



CermaCladTM clad products are being developed and qualified for cladding the inside of full length pipe

for use within the oil and gas industries. Clad metals are widely accepted in oil and gas exploration and

production, marine transportation, mining, petrochemical processing and refining, nuclear, paper and

pulp, desalination, and power generation industries. Each industry sector has slightly different needs and

requirements. For instance, to meet growing global energy demands, oil companies continue to extend

their offshore drilling efforts into deeper seas. The higher temperatures and corrosivity (carbon dioxide

and hydrogen sulfide content) of these deeper reserves, as well as the greater difficulty and expense to

inspect, maintain, and replace damaged assets, eliminate plastics and other competing material solutions

from consideration, have  significantly increased the use of corrosion resistant alloys and lower cost clad

pipe alternatives.

MesoCoat has made significant progress in quality control and the reliability of the pipe cladding process,

including the development of correlations between control variables, dependant variables, and cladding

quality. Our work has generated detailed analytical models of the fusion process that enable us to predict,

measure, control, and understand the fusion cladding process, and how that process relates to cladding

and base metal quality and performance. Most recently, these efforts have enabled the controlled

production of fully clad short sections of pipe with strong metallurgical bond, uniform quality, and good

surface finish. Subject to the completion of additional internal testing, clad sections of pipe are soon

expected to be released to Petrobras and others for initial qualification.

Mattson Exclusivity Agreement

Due to ongoing supply and support issues with our arc lamp component supplier, Mattson Technology

Inc. (“Mattson”), MesoCoat elected to exit the mutual exclusivity agreement with Mattson and initiated

projects to solve the supply and reliability issues associated with the use of full scale production

equipment that have been hindering and limiting commercialization efforts. Management has been evaluating the assets acquired from Mattson in order to determine to what extent the assets have been impaired

 

 

LIMO Agreement

The Company has entered into an agreement with Lissotschenko Mikrooptic GmbH (“LIMO”) to support

Cermaclad-LT (low thickness) product commercialization, and to extend the application of our cladding

technology to smaller diameter pipes.  The LIMO technology creates a new type of thermal micro-climate that delivers superior performance in accuracy and process control compared to the plasma arc lamp for thinner coatings . The highly efficient semiconductor laser technology extends Abakan´s capabilities by more portable systems covering smaller diameter pipes while still providing significant productivity.  These new systems are

ideally suited to thinner claddings and smaller diameters that represent large potential markets.

Sales Agency Agreement for Mexico and Central America

Abakan announced on September 16, 2013, entry into the Mexican and Central American markets on

signing an exclusive sales agent agreement with Metallurgic Solutions, S.A. de CV (“MetalSol”) to

introduce MesoCoat’s products into Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica,

and Panama. MetalSol is assisting MesoCoat’s investigation to establish production and service

operations in Mexico for its PComP long-life metal coatings, CermaClad clad steel, and future

products that may be developed.

Anticipated Product Development Timeline

The anticipated product development timeline detailed below is based on management’s estimate of the

time requisite to bring the respective products to market, all of which products are subject to uncertainties

surrounding the actual completion date of any number of items as is normal in product development.

Note, certain of the anticipated commercial timelines presented have not advanced since the end of our

last periodic reporting period. Unless otherwise explained below in respect to specific products, the

unanticipated delays are attributed, in large part, to ongoing supply and support issues with our arc lamp

component supplier, Mattson.

PComP M has moved into market entry, with the receipt of initial trial orders from two primary metal

producers.   Subject to successful delivery and performance matching prior test results, we expect these

initial orders will turn into recurring business. Producing an industry-leading solution will also provide a

base from which MesoCoat coating solutions may be able to leverage customer relationships to include

routine component repair services.

Market entry of PComP S, specifically developed for military transport applications, as well as

ZComP turbine engine life extension materials has been delayed due to sequestration cuts and the

reassessment of priorities in the defense sector.  Our expectation, with recent budget agreements, is that

this ongoing delay will be resolved and that our progress into penetrating these target markets will

resume.

Interest in WR continues to be high, but market entry has been postponed pending the realization of a

major partnership for a dedicated facility in Alberta, Canada.  The facility is subject to financing

commitments that have been delayed due to a change in the government minister responsible for

economic development in the western Canadian provinces.  Despite the delay, we are optimistic that

financing commitment issues have been resolved.   Otherwise, Abakan y continues to pursue a multi-

prong strategy, working with potential channel and industrial partners, government agencies, and end-

users to transition the laboratory performance demonstrated with WR materials into a commercial

product.

Product Commercial Anticipated Expansion Timeline

Our intermediate term plan is to expand the presence of our products into the Asia-Pacific and Brazil

markets. We remain in the process of negotiating the terms of a “build to suit” agreement through our

Asian subsidiary, PT MesoCoat Indonesia, to construct a manufacturing plant on the island of Batam,

Indonesia.  Due to ongoing concerns surrounding negotiations to construct a build to suit facility in

Recife, Brazil we have broadened our search for a prospective site and possibly a local partnership that

may be a more favorable way to pave market entry into Brazil.   The expected time-frames for either

expansion are yet to be finalized.

Revenues

The increase in commercial revenue for both the three and six month periods ending November 30, 2013,

over the prior comparative periods is the result of the  commercialization of  PComP powders.  The

decrease in contract and grant revenue in the three and six month periods ending November 30, 2013,

over the prior comparative periods, is due to a reduction in grant applications, as MesoCoat has focused

on commercializing PComP powders while continuing ongoing development efforts related to its

products.  The negative amount designated “Other income” in the prior three month comparative period

ended November 30, 2012, was a result of a reclassification of other revenue to grant revenue.

 

We expect grant revenue to continue to decrease over the next six  months as government sponsored

contracts that commenced late last year are completed. However, we do expect to offset a decrease in

grant revenue with a significant increase in commercial revenue over the next six months as an increase in

PComP powder production capacity is brought online.  During the current six month period, MesoCoat

began to purchase and install the larger scale manufacturing equipment required to expand PComP

production. Qualifying process changes due to larger batch sizes and the necessary downtime required to

install the new equipment temporarily impacted PComP production during the period. We remain

focused on the development of new products while continuing to commercialize existing product lines.

21



Gross Profit

Gross profits in both periods can be wholly attributed to the operations of MesoCoat.  The $267,000 and

$758,000 decrease in gross profit in the three and six month periods ending November 30, 2013, over the

prior comparative periods is the result of a decrease in grant revenue.  The change in focus from grants to

commercial revenue has caused MesoCoat to reallocate employees to research and development work

from grant work.

We expect overall gross profit to remain consistent over the next six months and to increase over the

following six months.   Gross profit realized from grant revenue is expected to continue to decrease as

result of the reduction in grant applications, which reduction is expected to be offset by an increase in our

profit margin throughout the next calendar year as MesoCoat expands sales of the PComP product line.

Net Losses

We do not expect to realize net income in the near term as anticipated operational expenses associated

most significantly with research and development, consulting, payroll expenses and the depreciation and

amortization of existing assets are expected to increase. The increases are expected to be the direct result

of continued research and development costs associated with the CermaClad product line in addition to

costs anticipated for the building of a manufacturing plant in Batam, Indonesia.

Despite management’s focus on ensuring operating efficiencies, we expect to continue to operate at a loss

through fiscal 2014.

Expenses

The $214,000 and $989,000 increase in operating expenses in the three and six month periods ending

November 30, 2013, over the three and six month comparative periods, can be attributed in part to an

increase in payroll and related costs of $146,000 and $496,000 over the three and six month comparative

periods, a portion of which increase can be attributed to the addition of two new employee positions that

were not previously included in prior periods.  MesoCoat added a Chief Operating Officer in January

2013, while Abakan employed a new Chief Financial Officer in December 2012.   Additional labor costs

were also incurred as a result of Abakan issuing restricted stock, valued at approximately $235,000, into

the MesoCoat and Powdermet retirement plans, which cost and related expense was accrued in the three

month period ending August 31, 2013. Research and development expenses increased by $99,000 and

$294,000 over the three and six month comparative periods, as Abakan continues to develop its products

for commercial applications. Professional fees increased by $203,000 for the six month period as result of

increased legal fees associated with legal representation for the exclusive sales agent agreement with

Metalsol, legal representation in the negotiation and drafting of an agreement with LIMO, and on-going

litigation.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $85,000 and $199,000  over the three and six month

comparative periods due to the commencement of depreciation on the new CermaClad equipment and

leasehold improvements in Euclid, Ohio, offset by the elimination of the amortization expense relating to

the Mattson mutual exclusivity agreement. Stock option expenses decreased as stock options that were

previously granted have started to vested and have already been expensed.

We expect that operating expenses will continue to increase as our aggressive growth strategy over the

next five years will require significant increases in personnel and facilities along with significant research

and development activity to ensure that products nearing commercialization are brought to market as

quickly and as effectively as possible.

 

22



Interest Expense and Amortization of Discount on Debt

The $275,000 and $384,000 decrease in interest and amortization of discount of debt expenses in the three

and six month periods ending November 30, 2013, over the prior comparative periods, was due to the

prior discounts becoming fully amortized.  The future amortization of the discount of debt will further

decrease and be partially offset by a higher interest expense on debt.

Other Expense/Income

The $22,000 decrease and $167,000 increase in other expense / income in the three and six month periods

ending November 30, 2013, versus the prior comparative periods, was due to Abakan’s share of  the

respective decrease and increase in losses associated with its equity interest in Powdermet over the

comparable periods.

We expect to continue to incur other expense in future periods due to interest accruing on convertible debt

and the anticipated increase in interest expense anticipated for new debentures that will be required for

future growth.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Abakan may have a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward and

start up costs that will offset any future operating profit once taxable income is generated.

Capital Expenditures

Abakan has spent significant amounts of investment activities for the period from June 27, 2006,

(inception) to November 30, 2013, which amounted to $8,979,171.  A large portion of these expenditures

are related to plant, property and equipment in the construction of the manufacturing facility in Euclid,

Ohio, and a minority interest in Powdermet.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Abakan has been in the development stage since inception, and has experienced significant changes in

liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ equity.

Abakan had stockholders’ equity of $6,143,867 and a working capital deficit of $7,333,182 at November

30, 2013.

Net cash used in development stage activities resulted from current period loss plus certain non-cash

items which included depreciation, amortization of discount on debt, stock issued for services and stock

option expense plus net change accrued liabilities, accounts payable, accrued interest on loans payable,

prepaid expenses and accounts receivable.  We expect to continue to generate negative cash flow in

operating activities until such time as net losses transition to net income.

Net cash used in investing activities in the three and six month period ending November 30, 2013, can be

primarily attributed to the purchase of property, plant and equipment, and capitalized patents and licenses.

We expect to continue to generate negative cash flow in investing activities as Abakan increases its

investment in property, plant and equipment through MesoCoat.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the three and six month period ending November 30, 2013, is

attributable to proceeds from loans payable, offset by payments on loans payable and repayments on

capital leases.  We expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from financing activities as Abakan

seeks new rounds of financing to build its business.

Our current assets are insufficient to meet our current obligations or to satisfy our cash needs over the

next twelve months and as such Abakan will require additional debt or equity financing. We had no firm

commitments or arrangements for financing at November 30, 2013, except for two $180,000 loans that

are to be borrowed by MesoCoat on December 10, 2013, and January 10, 2014.  To date most of

Abakan’s financings have come from current shareholders that we expect will continue in the immediate

future, as we continue to pursue a number of prospective sources that include engaging an investment

bank, industry and/or strategic partners, sale of additional equity, and the procurement of short and long

term debt. We face certain financial obstacles to attracting new financing due to our status as a technology

company just entering sales with a historical record of net losses and working capital deficits. Therefore,

despite our efforts we can provide no assurance that Abakan will be able to obtain the financing required

to meet its stated objectives or even to continue as a going concern.

Abakan does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Abakan has a defined stock option plan titled “The Abakan Inc., 2009 Stock Option Plan” and contractual

commitments with all of its officers and directors.

 

MesoCoat has plans for the purchase of plant or equipment in connection with expansion of the PComP™ powder production commercial line and has obtained verbal commitments for future capital expenditures from Abakan and Powdermet to fund any shortfalls (including plant and equipment)  should it not be able to raise funds in the normal course of business.

Abakan intends to increase the number of employees engaged by MesoCoat on completion of the

PComP product line expansion and upon completion of development and commercialization of the

Cermaclad product at the new Euclid, Ohio manufacturing facility.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of November 30, 2013, Abakan had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably

likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition,

revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is

material to stockholders.

24



Going Concern

Abakan’s auditors have expressed an opinion that refers to our ability to continue as a going concern as a

result of net losses of $13,545,788 and a working capital deficit of $2,222,670 as of May 31, 2013. Our

ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on realizing net income from operations, gains on

investment, obtaining funding from outside sources or realizing some combination of these objectives.

Management’s plan to address Abakan’s ability to continue as a going concern includes: (i) obtaining

funding from the private placement of debt or equity; (ii) revenue from operations; (iii) converting debt to

equity; and (iv) obtaining loans and grants from financial or government institutions. Management

believes that it will be able to obtain funding to allow Abakan to remain a going concern through the

methods discussed above, though there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

Forward Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition

The statements contained in the section titled Results of Operations and Description of Business, with the

exception of historical facts, are forward looking statements. We are ineligible to rely on the safe-harbor

provision of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward looking statements made in this

quarterly report. Forward looking statements reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our

future results of operations, performance, and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and

uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not materialize. These

statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

 §     our anticipated financial performance;

 §     uncertainties related to the commercialization of proprietary technologies held by entities in which

we have an investment interest;

 §     our ability to generate net revenue from operations or gains on investments;

 §     our ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for operations;

 §     the volatility of the stock market; and

 §     general economic conditions.

We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that

could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated including the factors

set forth in the section entitled Risk Factors included elsewhere in this report.

We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements

contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We

assume no obligation to update or revise these forward looking statements to reflect new events or

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated by excess cash

deposited in interest bearing accounts. The cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital

purposes. We have not used derivative financial instruments.  We have not been exposed nor do we

anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates. Declines in interest

rates, however, will reduce future investment income, at our current balance levels the change in our

interest income will not be material, assuming consistent balance levels

 

 

.

25



Interest rate risk also refers to our exposure to movements in interest rates associated with our interest

bearing liabilities. The interest bearing liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and the interest expense

is based on the market rates of interest. If the credit markets in the United States changed significantly it

could cause a material change in our interest expense and our costs of borrowing.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to our exposures to financial institutions, suppliers and customers that have in the past

and may in the future experience financial difficulty, particularly in light of recent conditions in the credit

markets and the global economy. As of November 30, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents are held in

deposits with maturities of three months or less with banks and other financial institutions having credit

ratings of BBB or above. We generally monitor the financial performance of our suppliers and customers,

as well as other factors that may affect their access to capital and liquidity. Presently, we believe that we

will not incur material losses due to our exposures to such credit risk.

 

ITEM 4.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out by Abakan’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of Abakan’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of November 30, 2013. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based on that evaluation, Abakan’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Abakan’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Since the end of the prior reporting period, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Abakan’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Uptick Capital, LLC.

Abakan initiated legal proceedings against Uptick Capital, LLC. (“Uptick”) on November 7, 2012, in the

United States District Court for the Southern District of New York Superior Court. The claim is based on

Uptick’s alleged failure to perform according to the terms of a consulting agreement dated November 1,

2010, pursuant to which Uptick was to identify and introduce suitable investors to Abakan in exchange

for certain consideration including 60,000 shares. Abakan seeks the return of the 60,000 shares delivered

which were subsequently sold or in the alternative for a judgment in an amount to be ascertained in excess

of $1,000,000 for damages in addition to reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs. The parties are

currently in the process of exchanging document disclosure and depositions. Abakan believes that is will

be successful in the pursuit of its claims.

Paloma Capital Group Ltd.

Abakan initiated legal proceedings against Paloma Capital Group Ltd (“Paloma”) on July 2, 2013, in the

Circuit Court in and for Miami-Dade County. The claim is based on Paloma’s failure to perform

according to the terms of a consulting agreement dated May 2, 2011, pursuant to which Paloma was to

introduce suitable investors to Abakan in exchange for certain consideration including 50,000 shares of

Abakan and 150,000 stock options to purchase shares of Abakan. The suit demands the return of the

Abakan shares and the cancellation of the stock options. Paloma is yet to be served with the complaint.

Abakan believes it will be successful in the pursuit of its claims.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Abakan’s operations and securities are subject to a number of risks. Below we have identified and

discussed the material risks that we are likely to face. Should any of the following risks occur, they will

adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations as well as the future trading

price and/or the value of our securities.

Abakan has a history of significant operating losses and such losses may continue in the future.

Abakan has incurred net losses of $17,108,232 for the period from June 27, 2006 (inception) to

November 30, 2013.  Since we have been without significant revenue since inception and have only

recently transitioned to producing limited revenue, as a result of the business combination with

MesoCoat, historical losses may continue into the future.

Abakan has a history of uncertainty about continuing as a going concern.

Abakan’s audits for the periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 expressed an opinion as to its ability to

continue as a going concern as a result of net losses of $13,545,788 since inception and a working capital

deficit of $2,222,670 as of May 31, 2013. Unless Abakan is able to produce net income over successive

future periods its ability to continue as a going concern will be in jeopardy.

27



Abakan requires additional capital funding.

Abakan requires additional funds, either through equity offerings, debt placements or joint ventures to

develop our operations. Such additional capital will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Our

ability to meet long-term financial commitments will depend on future cash. There can be no assurance

that any future income will generate sufficient funds to enable us to meet our financial commitments.

Abakan’s success is dependent on its ability to commercialize proprietary technologies to the point of

generating sufficient revenues to sustain and expand operations.

Abakan’s near term future operation is dependent on its ability to commercialize proprietary technologies

to produce sufficient revenue to sustain and expand operations. The success of these endeavors will

require that sufficient funding be available to assist in the development of its business interests. Currently,

Abakan’s financial resources are limited, which limitation may slow the pace at which proprietary

technologies can be commercialized. Should the Company be unable to improve its financial condition

through debt or equity offerings, the ability to successfully advance its business plan will be severely

limited.

We face significant commercialization risks related to technological businesses.

The industries in which MesoCoat and Powdermet operate and plan to operate are characterized by the

continual search for higher performance at lower cost. Our growth and future financial performance will

depend on the ability of MesoCoat and Powdermet to develop and market products that keep pace with

technological developments and evolving industry requirements. Further, the research and development

involved in commercializing products requires significant investment and innovation to keep pace with

technological developments. Should we be unable to keep pace with outside technological developments,

respond adequately to technological developments or experience significant delays in product

development, our products might become obsolete. Should these risks overcome our ability to keep pace

there is a significant likelihood that our ability to successfully advance our business will be severely

limited.

The coatings industry is likely to undergo technological change so our products and processes could

become obsolete at any time.

Evolving technology, updated industry standards, and frequent new product and process introductions are

likely to characterize the coatings industry going forward so our products or processes could become

obsolete at any time. Competitors could develop products or processes similar to or better than our own,

finish development of new technologies in advance of our research and development, or be more

successful at marketing new products or processes, any of which factors may hurt our prospects for

success.

28



MesoCoat and Powdermet compete with larger and better financed corporations.

Competition within the industrial coatings industry and other high technology industries is intense. While

each of MesoCoat and Powdermet’s products are distinguished by next-generation innovations that are

more sophisticated and cost effective than many competitive products currently in the market place, a

number of entities and new competitors may enter the market in the future. Some of MesoCoat’s and

Powdermet’s existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition,

larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do,

including well known multi-national corporations. Accordingly, MesoCoat’s and Powdermet’s products

could become obsolete at any time. Competitors could develop products similar to or better than our own,

finish development of new technologies in advance of either MesoCoat’s or Powdermet’s research and

development, or be more successful at marketing new products, any of which factors may hurt our

prospects for success.

Market acceptance of the products and processes produced by MesoCoat and Powdermet is critical to

our growth.

We expect to generate revenue from our interest in MesoCoat and realize a gain on our interest in

Powdermet from the sale of products and processes produced by MesoCoat and Powdermet. Market

acceptance of those products is therefore critical to our growth. If our customers do not accept or purchase

those products or processes produced by MesoCoat and Powdermet, then our revenue, cash flow and

operating results will be negatively impacted.

General economic conditions will affect our operations.

Changes in the general domestic and international climate may adversely affect the financial performance

of Abakan, MesoCoat and Powdermet. Factors that may contribute to a change in the general economic

climate include industrial disputes, interest rates, inflation, international currency fluctuations and

political and social reform. Further, the delayed revival of the global economy is not conducive to rapid

growth, particularly of technology companies with newly commercialized products.

MesoCoat and Powdermet rely upon patents and other intellectual property.

MesoCoat and Powdermet rely on a combination of patent applications, trade secrets, trademarks,

copyrights and licenses, together with non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, to establish and

protect proprietary rights to technologies they develop. Should either of MesoCoat or Powdermet be

unable to adequately protect their intellectual property rights or become subject to a claim of

infringement, their businesses and that of the Company may be materially adversely affected.

MesoCoat and Powdermet expect to prepare patent applications in accordance with their respective

worldwide intellectual property strategies on acquiring new technologies. However, neither they nor the

Company can be certain that any patents will be issued with respect to future patents pending or future

patent applications. Further, neither they nor Abakan know whether any future patents will be upheld as

valid, proven enforceable against alleged infringers or be effective in preventing the development of

competitive patents. Abakan believes that MesoCoat and Powdermet have each implemented a

sophisticated internal intellectual property management system to promote effective identification and

protection of their products and know-how in connection with the technologies they have developed and

may develop in the future

29



We may not be able to effectively manage our growth.

We expect considerable future growth in our business. Such growth will come from the addition of new

plants, the increase in global personnel, and the commercialization of new products. Additionally, our

products should have an impact on the cladding industry; as companies learn that they can receive

materials with a short lead time at a higher quality and lower price, market demand should grow,

expanding the overall market itself. To achieve growth in an efficient and timely manner, we will have to

maintain strict controls over our internal management, technical, accounting, marketing, and research and

development departments. We believe that we have retained sufficient quality personnel to manage our

anticipated future growth though we are still striving to improve financial accounting oversight to ensure

that adequate reporting and control systems in place. Should we be unable to successfully manage our

anticipated future growth by adherence to these strictures, costs may increase, growth could be impaired

and our ability to keep pace with technological advances may be impaired which failures could result in a

loss of future customers.

Environmental laws and other governmental legislation may affect our business.

Should the technologies which each of MesoCoat and Powdermet have under development not comply

with applicable environmental laws then Abakan’s business and financial results could be seriously

harmed. Furthermore, changes in legislation and governmental policy could also negatively impact us.

Although we are currently unaware of any introduced or proposed bills, or policy, that might cause us to

make specific changes to our operations, no assurance can be given that if new legislation is passed we

will be able to make the changes to comport our technologies with future regulatory requirements.

Abakan and those entities in which it holds an interest may face liability claims.

Although MesoCoat and Powdermet intend to implement exhaustive testing programs to identify

potential material defects in technology they develop, any undetected defects could harm their reputation

and that of Abakan, diminish their customer base, shrink revenues and expose themselves and us to

product liability claims. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of

insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and

financial condition.

The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.

The market for our common stock has been limited due to low trading volume and the small number of

brokerage firms acting as market makers. Due to the limitations of our market and the volatility in the

market price of our stock, investors may face difficulties in selling shares at attractive prices when they

want to sell. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week

and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day.

30



Abakan’s common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for

investors to sell their shares.

Abakan’s common stock is and will be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of

the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the

NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or

that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for

three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to

persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of

investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a

risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided

not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number

of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If Abakan remains subject

to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any,

for our securities. If Abakan’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more

difficult to dispose of our securities.

The elimination of monetary liability against Abakan’s directors, officers and employees under Nevada

law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in

substantial expenditures by Abakan and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and

employees.

Abakan’s articles of incorporation contains a specific provision that eliminates the liability of directors for

monetary damages to us and our stockholders; further, Abakan is prepared to give such indemnification to

its directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. Abakan may also have contractual

indemnification obligations under its employment agreements with its executive officers. The foregoing

indemnification obligations could result in our incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of

settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which Abakan may be unable to recoup.

These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and

officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative

litigation by our stockholders against the Abakan’s directors and officers even though such actions, if

successful, might otherwise benefit the us and our stockholders.
