General Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA, on January 28, 2003. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility.

 

 

Our Current Business

 

We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the exploration of minerals on properties located in Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone West Africa. Our mining concession in Ghana and our mining concession in Sierra Leone have been the focus of our immediate exploration and development activities. In mid 2013, due to the fact that exploration funding was virtually non-existent for small mining companies, we changed our focus and operating model from doing exploration activities to pursuing cash flow from putting our existing equipment, 3 dredges, vehicles and our wash plant in Sierra Leone to work in licensed mining activities capable of generating cash flow. These licensed activities involve sponsorship relationships with local artisanal miners and Chiefs where we use our equipment, trained personnel and financial support and earn an interest in their operations. We were invited to Liberia to pursue the same business model there and we have started operations there as well. These matters will be discussed in detail below.

 

As mentioned above our operating focus has been on generation business relationships capable of producing current period cash flows. Our EXPL mining concessions in both Ghana and Sierra Leone have a temporary stoppage of available exploration funding. In Ghana, we have continued to seek a reliable and substantial Joint Venture partner to handle alluvial gold extraction and recovery, but have not been able to finalize any contract to date. Additional licensing and permitting are required to do so, and we have not had adequate funding to do so. In Sierra Leone, we discovered Rare Earth elements and gold on our Pampana concession, but are unable to monetize these products without first upgrading to a Small scale Mining License. Local costs currently can run as high as $300,000 because of the extensive environmental work required. In July 2013, we submitted a Renewal application on our renewable 140sq.km. EXPL license. We had previously operated under the pre-mid 2009 mining act which required us to pay $35,500/ year to Minerals Department. We paid this for three years. The new mining law has reduced the amount of annual payment from $35,500 to $14,400 for the same area. We are required to shed a portion on renewal and approximately 25sq.km. of non- river and non-gold bearing land has been shed in our pending application. In addition, the new law requires a substantial financial commitment to be made for four years going forward and ANY funds not able to be audited locally as spent on qualified exploration activites MUST be paid to the Country Treasury. While we have had no official response to date on our pending renewal application, it is doubtful that we will be able to provide adequate assurances that we can make these expenditures on exploration in the future. Especially, now that we have established the means and ability to pursue cash flow opportunities with local artisanal miners where recovered minerals may be sold.

 

Our recent association with Prince Kai Saquee, Sunergy Advisory Board member and Chairman of The Diamond and Gold Dealers Association in Kono District in Sierra Leone, now enables us to buy and export diamonds and gold in both Sierra Leone and Liberia. Our operations in both countries are discussed in detail below.

 

Diamond and Gold Operations in Sierra Leone

 

We have three dredges that we own in Sierra Leone, two vehicles and a medium sized wash plant suitable for handling up to 100 ton/hour of feed material. Two dredges are currently operating on projects, with the third being modified in Sierra Leone and readying for deployment on a new proposed project in Kono district. We also have a land based operation we operate as well. We now have 4 licensed opportunities in Sierra Leone and plan to grow our fleet to accommodate this activity.

 

Diamond and Gold Operations in Liberia

 

We have two dredges that we own operating in Liberia, one vehicle and a larger wash plant capable of processing from 50 tons/hour up to 300tons/hour. Our immediate plan is to move the Liberian wash plant to Kono District, Sierra Leone, where more gravels are available for washing on a year round basis. We now have 3 licensed opportunities in Liberia and plan to grow our fleet of dredges to accommodate this growth. We may move the smaller wash plant to Liberia to handle our own year round operations there.

 

Competition

 

We are a mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral properties.

 

Compliance with Government Regulation

 

We are committed to complying with and are, to our knowledge, in compliance with, all governmental and environmental regulations applicable to our company and our properties. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation. We cannot predict the extent to which these requirements will affect our company or our properties if we identify the existence of minerals in commercially exploitable quantities. In addition, future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditure, restrictions and delays in the exploration of our properties.

 

Employees

 

Currently, we do not have any employees. Our directors and certain contracted individuals play an important role in the running of our company. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed.

 

We engage contractors from time to time to consult with us on specific corporate affairs or to perform specific tasks in connection with our exploration programs. During the mining season in Sierra Leone, we typically employ in excess of 50 local people.

 

Subsidiaries

 

We have three subsidiaries, Allied Mining and Supply, LLC a Nevada Limited Liability Company and Mikite Gold Resources, LTD, a Ghana corporation, and Sunergy Liberia LTD, a Liberia corporation which was formed in December 2013 to handle our Liberia operations. Allied Mining and Supply, LLC has one subsidiary, Allied Mining and Supply Ltd, a Sierra Leone Corporation.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Our business operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below:

 

Risks Associated With Mining

 

Our properties are in the pre-exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral resource on our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.

 

Despite pre-exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established that they contain any mineral reserve, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail.

 

A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.

 

Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

 

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.

 

Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we might discover on our properties, our business may fail.

 

Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral property or for the construction and operation of a mine on our property at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.

 

We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.

 

If we establish the existence of a mineral resource on one of our properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, we will require additional capital in order to develop the property into a producing mine. If we cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the resource, and our business could fail.

 

If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on our property, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail.

 

Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.

 

Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company.

 

Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.

 

We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource property or from the extraction and sale of precious and base metals. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted.

 

The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, we may be required to reduce or cease operations.

 

The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce.

 

In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.

 

Risks Related To Our Company

 

We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects.

 

We have been in the business of exploring mineral resource properties since 2003 and we have not yet located any mineral reserve. As a result, we have never had any revenues from our operations. In addition, our operating history has been restricted to the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties and this does not provide a meaningful basis for an evaluation of our prospects if we ever determine that we have a mineral reserve and commence the construction and operation of a mine. We have no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether our mineral property contains any mineral reserve or, if it does that we will be able to build or operate a mine successfully. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating costs without realizing any revenues during the period when we are exploring our properties. We therefore expect to continue to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from mining operations and any disposition of our property, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. At this early stage of our operation, we also expect to face the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at the start up stage of their business development. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.

 

The fact that we have not earned any operating revenues since our incorporation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue to explore our mineral properties as a going concern.

 

We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on our mineral property and build and operate a mine. We will have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral property, we will probably find it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity and debt securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our mineral property, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail.

 

These circumstances led our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report dated April 15, 2014, to comment about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements of our capital stock, however, we currently have no firm commitments. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue operations in the future.

 

Risks Associated with Our Common Stock

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB. Trading in stock quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTCQB is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTCQB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like Amex.

.

The market price of Sunergy’s common shares is subject to high volatility and could cause investor loss.

 

The market price of a publicly traded stock, especially a resource issuer like Sunergy, is affected by many variables in addition to those directly related to exploration successes or failures. Such factors include the general condition of market for resource stocks, the strength of the economy generally, the availability and attractiveness of alternative investments and the breadth of the public market for the stock. The effect of these and other factors on the market price of Sunergy’s common shares suggests Sunergy’s shares will continue to be volatile. Therefore, investors could suffer significant losses if Sunergy’s shares are depressed or illiquid when an investor seeks liquidity and needs to sell Sunergy shares.

 

We may issue shares of our capital stock or debt securities to complete a transaction, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders or subject our company to risks upon default.

 

We may issue our securities to acquire companies or assets, such as other concessions. If we issue additional shares of our common stock, the equity interest of our existing stockholders may be reduced significantly, and the market price of our common stock may decrease. If we issue debt securities as part of a transaction and we are unable to generate sufficient operating revenues to pay the principal amount and accrued interest on that debt, we may be forced to sell all or a significant portion of our assets to satisfy our debt service obligations, unless we are able to refinance or negotiate an extension of our payment obligation. Even if we are able to meet our debt service obligations as they become due, the holders of that debt may accelerate payment if we fail to comply with, and/or are unable to obtain waivers of, covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios or reserves or satisfy certain other financial restrictions. In addition, financial and other covenants in the agreements we may enter into to secure debt financing may restrict our ability to obtain additional financing and our flexibility in operating our business.

 

 

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations and FINRA's sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

 

In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Other Risks

 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

 

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

 

Risks Related To Assets and Operations in Ghana and Sierra Leone, Africa.

 

Substantially all of our assets and our operations are located outside of the United States, and all of our current exploratory activities are conducted outside of the United States subjecting us to risks associated with doing business in Ghana and Sierra Leone, Africa.

 

Our operations in Ghana and Sierra Leone subject us to the laws and regulations of Ghana and Sierra Leone. In addition, we are subject to risks inherent in international business activities, including:

 

·

changes in overseas economic conditions,

 

·

fluctuations in currency exchange rates,

 

·

potentially weaker intellectual property protections,

 

·

changing and conflicting local laws and other regulatory requirements,

 

·

trade agreements,

 

·

political and economic instability,

 

·

war, civil war, acts of terrorism or other hostilities,

 

·

potentially adverse tax consequences, or

 

·

Difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations.

 

 

However, Ghana is Africa's second largest gold producer after South Africa and the world's second largest producer of cocoa, and its economy is one of the fastest growing in Africa. Ghana became independent from England in 1957. According to an article in BBC's World News on June 19, 2012, Ghana is "A well-administered country by regional standards, Ghana is often seen as a model for political and economic reform in Africa."

 

According to the web site of U.S.' Central Intelligence Agency last updated on June 20, 2012, Sierra Leone:

 

" ... is an extremely poor nation with tremendous inequality in income distribution. While it possesses substantial mineral, agricultural, and fishery resources, its physical and social infrastructure has yet to recover from the civil war, and serious social disorders continue to hamper economic development. Nearly half of the working-age population engages in subsistence agriculture. Manufacturing consists mainly of the processing of raw materials and of light manufacturing for the domestic market. Alluvial diamond mining remains the major source of hard currency earnings, accounting for nearly half of Sierra Leone's exports. The fate of the economy depends upon the maintenance of domestic peace and the continued receipt of substantial aid from abroad, which is essential to offset the severe trade imbalance and supplement government revenues. The IMF completed a Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility program that helped stabilize economic growth and reduce inflation and in 2010 approved a new program worth $45 million over three years. Political stability has led to a revival of economic activity such as the rehabilitation of bauxite and rutile mining, which are set to benefit from planned tax incentives. A number of offshore oil discoveries were announced in 2009 and 2010. The development on these reserves, which could be significant, is still several years away."

 

We have limited financial resources which prevents us from securing our mining concessions in Ghana and Sierra Leone from bandits and other detrimental threats, particularly during the rainy season when we have minimal exploration activities.

 

We do not have the financial resources to adequately protect our African mining concessions from potential “claim jumping” and other threats to the betterment of our concessions predominantly due to the respective land size of these concessions of approximately 150 sq. km each. We attempt to mitigate these threats through relationships with local tribal Chiefs who report intruders to local Assembly officials trying to mine in the area without a License, in addition to reporting the threat to our Country Directors. 

 

The minerals commissions in both countries do not police or enforce the propriety of these concessions.  It is the sole responsibility of the concession owner.

 

Significant unauthorized mining or other unauthorized activities may result in our inability to develop any commercially viable resources in Africa.

 

Limitations on Ghana and Sierra Leone economic market reforms may discourage foreign investment in Ghana and Sierra Leone businesses.

 

The value of investments in Ghana and Sierra Leone mining concession businesses could be adversely affected by political, economic and social uncertainties in Ghana and Sierra Leone.

 

Any material change in policy by the Ghana and Sierra Leone governments could adversely affect investments in our business operations.

 

As developing nations, Ghana's and Sierra Leone's economies are more volatile than that of developed Western industrial economies.  There differ significantly from that of the U.S. or a Western European country in such respects as structure, level of development, capital reinvestment, legal recourse, resource allocation and self-sufficiency.

 

Actions by the central governments of Ghana and Sierra Leone could have a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in the country as a whole and on the economic prospects for our operations. Changes in policy could result in imposition of restrictions on currency conversion, imports or the source of supplies, as well as new laws affecting joint ventures and foreign-owned enterprises doing business in Ghana and/or Sierra Leone. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that reforms to Ghana 's and/or Sierra Leone's economic systems will occur or that we will not be adversely affected by changes in their political, economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of those governments, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, imposition of restrictions on mining concessions and reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions.

 

 

Uncertainties with respect to the legal systems in Ghana and Sierra Leone could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

 

We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating subsidiaries in Ghana and Sierra Leone, Africa. Our operating subsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in Ghana and Sierra Leone and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. The legal systems are based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but may have limited precedential value. However, since the legal systems continue to evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you and us. In addition, any litigation in either Ghana or Sierra Leone may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

 

The legal system in Ghana is based on British common law, customary (traditional) law, and the 1992 constitution. Court hierarchy consists of the Supreme Court of Ghana (its highest court), courts of appeal, and high courts of justice. Beneath these bodies are circuit, magisterial, and traditional courts. Extrajudicial institutions include public tribunals. Since independence in 1957, courts have been relatively independent. Lower courts are being redefined and reorganized under the Republic. Customary (traditional) law is a type of legal system that serves as the basis of, or has influenced, the present-day laws in approximately 40 countries - mostly in Africa, but some in the Pacific islands, Europe, and the Near East. Customary law is also referred to as "primitive law," "unwritten law," "indigenous law," and "folk law." There is no single history of customary law such as that found in Roman civil law, English common law, Islamic law, or the Napoleonic Civil Code. The earliest systems of law in human society were customary, and usually developed in small agrarian and hunter-gatherer communities. As the term implies, customary law is based upon the customs of a community. Common attributes of customary legal systems are that they are seldom written down, they embody an organized set of rules regulating social relations, and they are agreed upon by members of the community. Although such law systems include sanctions for law infractions, resolution tends to be reconciliatory rather than punitive.

 

The legal system in Sierra Leone is a mixed legal system of English common law and customary law.

 

Restrictions under Ghana and Sierra Leone laws which may limit or restrict our ability to make dividends and other distributions from Ghana and/or Sierra Leone to the U.S. could materially and adversely affect our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could benefit our business, pay dividends to you, and otherwise fund and conduct our businesses.

 

Substantially all of our revenues, if any, will be earned in Ghana and Sierra Leone, Africa. Any limitations on our ability to transfer funds to the U.S from Ghana and Sierra Leone could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

 

Our results of operations may be adversely impacted by currency fluctuations.

 

Substantially all of our operations are in Ghana and Sierra Leone West Africa. Because our financial statements are reported in United States dollars, fluctuations in currencies in Ghana and Sierra Leone against the United States dollar may cause us to recognize foreign currency translation gains and losses, which may be material to our operations and impact our reported financial condition and results of operations.

 

As a U.S. public company we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977.

 

The anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) make it unlawful for a U.S. person, and certain foreign issuers of securities, to make a payment to a foreign official for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any person. There is no materiality to the FCPA, thus making it illegal to offer anything of value as a bribe, including cash or non-cash items. The government focuses on the intent of the bribery rather than on the amount.

 

The FCPA also requires companies whose securities are listed in the U. S. to meet its accounting provisions, such as those set forth in 15 U.S.C. §78. These accounting provisions, which were designed to operate in tandem with the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA, require corporations covered by the provisions to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the corporation and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls.

 

We do not have a written compliance program, but our Code of Ethic is designed, in part, to prohibit conduct that is made unlawful under the FCPA. We believe we are in full compliance with the FCPA.

Overview and Current Business

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA, on January 28, 2003. We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the exploration of minerals on properties located in Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone West Africa. Our mining concession in Ghana and our mining concession in Sierra Leone have been the focus of our immediate exploration and development activities historically. In mid 2013, due to the fact that exploration funding was virtually non-existent for small mining companies, we changed our focus and operating model from doing exploration activities to pursuing cash flow from putting our existing equipment, 3 dredges, vehicles and our wash plant in Sierra Leone to work in licensed mining activities capable of generating cash flow. These licensed activities involve sponsorship relationships with local artisanal miners and Chiefs where we use our equipment, trained personnel and financial support and earn an interest in their operations. We were invited to Liberia to pursue the same business model there and we have started operations there as well.

 

Nyinahin Concession, Ghana:

 

We continue to see a reliable and substantial Joint Venture partner to handle alluvial gold extraction and recovery, but have not been able to finalize any contract to date. Additional licensing and permitting are required to do so, and we have not had adequate funding to do so.

 

The Nyinahin concession is located between two geological gold belts, the Bibiani Belt to the west and the Asankrangwa to the east.  The license allows for the exploration and mining of gold, silver, base metals and diamonds. About 80% of the Nyinahin concession lies to the west of the Offin River within the Ashanti region of Ghana. There are several historical pits and adits with a strong clustering of artisan pits located along the Offin River. Three old gold prospects exist on the concession. The property is accessed via the main Kumasi-Bibiani trunk road. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Atwima Mponua District Assembly with headquarters at Nyinahin. The Offin River area offers strong alluvial operations potential as well as the underlying bedrock is a continuation of the Keegan Esaase-Jeni Project. The large area west of the Offin River area contain some significant geological anomalies that warrant additional exploration activities. In the overall, this concession represents a significant future development opportunity for our Company.

 

Pampana River Concession, Sierra Leone:

 

The Pampana River concession is an alluvial mining concession consisting of Exploration License No. EXPL 5/2009 which was issued to Allied Mining and Supply Ltd. (AMS) on August 12, 2009. In July 2013, we have submitted an application for the renewal of such license with the Sierra Leone Ministry of Mines. During this process of renewal, we were required to identify certain areas that could be shed from the exploration licenses as part of the requirement of renewal. We identify approximately 25 sq km of non-river and non-gold bearing land that was shed in the pending application.

 

The renewable exploration license is located in the Kholifa Rowalla, Kafe Simiria and Tane Chiefdoms in the Tonkolili District of the Northern Province of Sierra Leone covering an area of 115 km2. The concession is situated on the western fringes of the southern Sula Mountains greenstone belt and for most of the northern and central part it straddles the Pampana River. On the west of the southern part, the concession runs along the Pampana River. The property is south of the Sula Mountains in the Greenstone belt, around 120 miles east of the capital, Freetown.

 

When we purchased the Pampana River concession Allied Mining and Supply had been conducting exploration there for two years and had laid out a program to exploit the newly discovered rare earth elements in the heavy mineral sands that exist in association with the gold.

 

Rare earth elements are a unique group of chemical elements that exhibit a range of special electronic, magnetic, optical and catalytic properties. REEs are used in a wide range of alloys and compounds, and can greatly affect the performance of complex engineered systems. They occur in a variety of chemical forms and have a wide variety of applications, including the processing of materials. REEs are used in components in engineered products, and their uses include fluid cracking catalysts, automotive catalytic convertors, polishing materials, permanent magnets, energy storage, phosphors, and glass additives. In modern society, many of these uses are critical for high tech devices including electronics, jet planes and rocks, and vital engineered components.

 

 

Our work in 2013 consisted of focusing our efforts in the renewal of the exploration license in Sierra Leone with the Ministry of Mines and furthering and deploying available equipment to currently operating projects. We have three dredges that we own in Sierra Leone, two vehicles and a medium sized wash plant suitable for handling up to 100 ton/hour of feed material. Two dredges are currently operating on projects, with the third being modified in Sierra Leone and reading for deployment on a new proposed project in Kono district. We also have a land based operation we operate as well. We now have 4 licensed opportunities in Sierra Leone and plan to grow our fleet to accommodate this activity. Our expenditures for the next 12 months from December 31, 2013 are projected to be approximately $250,000 inclusive of operations and equipment purchases.

 

Allied/Sunergy's steadfast commitment to community development has led to our current standing in the district of Tonkolli which has never been higher. Our employees, some of whom have been with us for three years, are capable, hard working and well respected among the villages on our concession. Allied has typically employed 70 to 80 men and women each year during the mining season. Most are full-time, while others are part-time or temporary help. This effort is important to maintain a high level of confidence in the communities and the country of Sierra Leone, which gives Sunergy a strong foundation to develop additional business in the Country.

 

Liberia, Sunergy Liberia Limited:

 

In addition, we continue our development work of relationships across the African region which included the opening of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Liberia, Sunergy Liberia Ltd. We started visiting Liberia in October 2013, pursuant to an invitation by a local businessman to come and see what mining and business opportunities were available. Since that time and subsequent to December 31, 2013 we have entered into formal agreements to engage in support of existing artisanal (Class C) licensed operations. We now have two dredges that we own operating in Liberia, one vehicle and a larger wash plant capable of processing from 50 tons/hour up to 300tons/hour. Our immediate plan is to move the Liberian wash plant to Kono District, Sierra Leone, where more gravels are available for washing on a year round basis. We now have 3 licensed opportunities in Liberia and plan to grow our fleet of dredges to accommodate this growth. We may move the smaller wash plant to Liberia to handle our own year round operations there. Our expenditures for the 12 months from December 31, 2013 are budgeted to be $250,000 inclusive of operations and equipment purchases.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes contained in this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed in this annual report.

 

Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

 

Operations for Year Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as follows:

 

		Year Ended
		December 31,
		2013				2012
Revenue		$	–			$	–
Operating Expenses			649,749				947,644
Interest Expense			270,623				426,300
Net Loss		$	917,002			$	1,373,944

 

Expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are outlined in the table below:

 

		Year Ended
		December 31,
		2013				2012
General and administrative		$	223,784			$	259,382
Depreciation			52,783				52,603
Management salary			42,000				89,196
Professional fees			218,555				366,128
Exploration costs			112,627				180,335

 

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013, decreased by approximately 33% as compared to the comparative period in 2012 primarily as a result of decreased available funding to expand exploration costs as previously anticipated. Management Salary costs decreased substantially due to our change within the executive leadership team from the prior year with decreased monthly compensation agreements. Exploration costs decreased substantially due to a substantial decreased in funding during the year. We anticipate a substantial increase in exploration and development costs for the next twelve months as the Company works towards starting dredging operations in Liberia and further exploration work in Sierra Leone. With over 40 KM of river on our concession, future exploration designed to develop resources and reserves will be undertaken, limited only by our future financial capabilities.

 

Revenue

 

We did not earn any revenues during the year ended December 31, 2013 or since our inception. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production on the Nyinahin or Pampana River concessions. We have not concluded the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on the property, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.

 

 

Equity Compensation

 

We currently do not have any formalized stock option or equity compensation plans or arrangements, however, from time to time we settle obligations via the issuance of equity and equity-linked instruments.

Contractual Obligations

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant 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 are material to stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company has on occasion issued equity and equity linked instruments to non-employees in lieu of cash to various vendors for the receipt of goods and services and, in certain circumstances the settlement of short-term loan arrangements. The applicable GAAP establishes that share-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

In these transactions, we issue unregistered and restricted equity instruments along with equity-linked instruments (warrants) that are convertible into unregistered and restricted shares of our common stock.

 

While we have 1,025,000,000 shares of freely-traded stock with a quoted market price (a Level 1 input within the GAAP hierarchy). The fair value of the unregistered and restricted shares issued from December 13, 2010 through the present as valued by the quoted market price does not reflect the economic substance of the transactions, correspondingly, the quoted market price is not the most reliably measurable fair value.  We made this determination based upon the significant liquidity restrictions placed upon our unregistered restricted equity instruments since December 13, 2010 with the issuance of the Caveat Emptor For additional specific discussion related to these restrictions, see Item – 1A Risk Factors.

 

When unregistered common shares and equity-linked instruments convertible into unregistered common shares are issued for the settlement of short-term financing arrangements (that are not initially convertible), the reacquisition price of the extinguished financing arrangement is determined by the value of the debt which is more clearly evident, and no additional inducement expense is recognized.

 

In situations in which we issue unregistered restricted common shares and equity-linked instruments in exchange for goods and services, and the value of the goods and services are not the most reliably measurable, we recognize the fair value of the unregistered restricted equity instruments based on the value of similar instruments issued in private placements in exchange for cash in the most recent transactions (a Level 2 input within the GAAP hierarchy).  We have determined this methodology reflects the risk adjusted fair value of our unregistered restricted equity instruments using a commercially reasonable valuation technique.  

 

The Company has entered into short-term convertible promissory notes and security purchase agreements accounted for under ASC 470. Under accounting for convertible debt, applicable accounting guidance would provide that the debt is recorded with is principal amount and its unamortized discount and a net carrying value. Additionally, the agreements indicate that the discounted conversion price continuously resets resulting in both a fixed and variable component. We account for such agreements as stock-settled debt with the variable component being re-valued each quarter and at the balance sheet date and/or just prior to conversion using the black scholes model and the remaining term of the note.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Sunergy, Inc. (an exploration stage company)

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sunergy Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and for the year then ended and for the period from January 28, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2012 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated April 16, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and also included an explanatory paragraph that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $647,123 since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3, which includes the raising of additional equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Sunergy, Inc. (an exploration stage company)

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sunergy, Inc. (“Company”; an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sunergy, Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2012 and the results of its consolidated operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses, has not generated any revenue, and has negative operating cash flows since the inception of the exploration activities. These factors, and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plans, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern is also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SUNERGY, INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013

 

 

NOTE 1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Sunergy, Inc. (The Company) was organized in the state of Nevada on January 28, 2003 and is an exploration phase mineral and mining company.

 

The Company has mineral properties located in the Republic of Ghana and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts from these properties will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves located within the property interests held by the Company, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreements to complete the development of the properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.

 

On October 18, 2010, the Company acquired Allied Mining and Supply LLC., a Nevada limited liability company. Allied Mining and Supply LLC also has one subsidiary, a Sierra Leone company, Allied Mining and Supply Ltd. As part of the acquisition the Company now has a concession in Sierra Leone. The Company has been in the exploration phase of this concession since the purchase. No revenues have been generated as of yet. This concession, if determined to be economically feasible, may produce gold and rare metals.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sunergy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Mikite Gold Resources Limited, a Ghanaian company, Allied Mining and Supply LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Allied Mining and Supply LLC also has one 100% owned subsidiary, a Sierra Leone company, Allied Mining and Supply Ltd. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments which mature within three months of the date of purchase.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The statements were prepared following generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company operates on a December 31 fiscal year end.

 

Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance US GAAP. This requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method using the if-converted method. All periods presented reflect net losses, therefore, all instruments convertible to common shares are considered anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are 256,266,331 and 347,092,849 of warrants outstanding exercisable into one common share of the Company which are anti-dilutive and not included in the calculation of loss per share. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, there are an additional 256,666,666 shares that would be anti-dilutive on an “if-converted” basis in conjunction with the potential conversion of the convertible promissory notes payable if the notes remain unpaid after six months from the date of issuance

 

Dividends

 

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for financial instruments that are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. Fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The Company considers the carrying amounts of cash, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, related party and other payables, customer deposits, and short term loans approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization. The Company considers the carrying amount of notes payable to approximate their fair values based on the interest rates of the instruments and the current market rate of interest.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statements carrying values and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, judgment and interpretation of statutes is required. Judgments and interpretation of statutes are inherent in this process. Future income tax assets are recorded in the financial statements if realization is considered more likely than not.

 

For previously taken tax positions considered to be uncertain, the Company prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute. In the event certain tax positions do not meet the appropriate recognition threshold, de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions is required.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax audits by taxing authorities for years 2005 and before.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company has on occasion issued equity and equity linked instruments to non-employees in lieu of cash to various vendors for the receipt of goods and services and, in certain circumstances the settlement of short-term loan arrangements. The applicable GAAP establishes that share-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

In these transactions, we issue unregistered and restricted equity instruments along with equity-linked instruments that are convertible into unregistered and restricted shares of our common stock.

 

While we have in excess of 1,025,000,000 shares of freely-traded stock with a quoted market price (a Level 1 input within the GAAP hierarchy). The fair value of the unregistered and restricted shares issued from December 13, 2010 through the present as valued by the quoted market price does not reflect the economic substance of the transactions, correspondingly, the quoted market price is not the most reliably measurable fair value.  We made this determination based upon the significant liquidity restrictions placed upon our unregistered restricted equity instruments since December 13, 2010.  For additional specific discussion related to these restrictions, see Item – 1A Risk Factors.

 

When unregistered common shares and equity-linked instruments convertible into unregistered common shares are issued for the settlement of short-term financing arrangements (that are not initially convertible), the reacquisition price of the extinguished financing arrangement is determined by the value of the debt which is more clearly evident, and no additional inducement expense is recognized.

 

In situations in which we issue unregistered restricted common shares and equity-linked instruments in exchange for goods and services, and the value of the goods and services are not the most reliably measurable, we recognize the fair value of the unregistered restricted equity instruments based on the value of similar instruments issued in private placements in exchange for cash in the most recent transactions (a Level 2 input within the GAAP hierarchy).  We have determined this methodology reflects the risk adjusted fair value of our unregistered restricted equity instruments using a commercially reasonable valuation technique.  

 

Exploration Stage Company

 

The Company is considered to be an exploration stage entity in accordance with GAAP. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s exploration stage activities.

 

The Company is subject to several categories of risk associated with its exploration stage activities. Mineral exploration and production is a speculative business, and involves a high degree of risk. Among the factors that have a direct bearing on the Company’s prospects are uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral deposits, future mining production, and cash flows, particularly with respect to properties that have not been fully proven with economic mineral reserves; access to additional capital; changes in the price of the underlying commodity; availability and cost of services and equipment; and the presence of competitors with greater financial resources and capacity.

 

 

Mineral Property Costs

 

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized. Exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

 

Environmental Costs

 

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. We believe there is no impairment of our long-lived assets.

 

Reclamation Liabilities and Asset Retirement Obligations

 

Minimum standards for site reclamation and closure have been established by various government agencies that affect certain of our operations. The Company calculates estimates of reclamation liabilities based on current laws and regulations and the expected undiscounted future cash flows to be incurred in reclaiming, restoring, and closing of operating mine sites. US GAAP requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. It further requires us to record a liability for the present value of our estimated environmental remediation costs and the related asset created with it when a recoverable asset (long-lived asset) can be realized.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Minor additions and renewals are expensed in the year incurred. Major additions and renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes.  The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful life for property and equipment held at December 31, 2013 and 2012 is five years.

 

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

 

The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not expect any to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company sustained operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and incurred negative cash flows from operations in both years. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtain additional financing, as may be required.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters include the raising of additional equity financing.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued 24,000,000 shares to settle notes payable of $17,500 with a corresponding accrued interest of $42,500. In addition, we received $50,000 under a short-term commercial agreement. The notes consisted of $50,000 in loans and $10,000 in the form of original discount maturity. As an incentive for the note holder, we also issued 2,000,000 units with each unit consisting of one restricted share of common stock and one 12 month share purchase warrant valued at $5,000 and recorded as financing cost.

 

During 2013, we entered into a short-term commercial financing agreement to fund $67,000 to the Company to pay back the convertible promissory note entered into in April 2013 that was to mature in January 2014, but held a pre-payment period up through 180 days from the issuance and funding of the convertible promissory note. Thus the Company entered into a financing agreement with shareholders to repay funds received under the convertible promissory note. The Company repaid the short-term commercial financing agreement within 30 days of issuance and the note holder was due no interest under the short-term agreement.

 

In addition, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares at $0.002 in May 2013 to repay the $50,000 short-term commercial agreement from 2013 plus accrued interest.

 

A summary of the outstanding balance for the periods ended December 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 follows:

 

		December 31,				December 31,
		2013				2012

Convertible Promissory notes

 

During 2013, the Company entered into five separate convertible promissory notes and security purchase agreements (referred to as Convertible Note #1 to #5).

 

The Company entered into Convertible note #1 in April 2013. The note had an estimated fair value of $86,364 at the date of issuance with a principal notional amount of $47,500 indicating an unamortized discount of $38,864. The company uses the effective interest method to recognize the unamortized discount until the maturity date of the convertible note. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $24,849 of interest expense related to amortization of debt discount. The Company repaid the outstanding principal notional amount plus accrued interest and a prepayment penalty of 40% of the outstanding balance at 180 days after the date of issuance of the convertible note. The Company extinguished the debt for $66,970. As of the end of the December 31, 2013, the Company carries no unamortized discount related to Convertible Note #1.

 

In addition, the Company recognized financing fees related to the variable element of the conversion price related to the discount to the Company’s closing price in the 10 days immediately prior to conversion. The Company recognized $7,740 of financing fees as a derivative liability at the date of issuance. As of the December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a gain of $4,364 related to the change in the fair market value of the derivative due to the increase of the Company’s stock price since the issuance of the convertible note. As of December 31, 2013, the convertible note has been paid in full and may not be converted into common shares of the Company. All derivative liability was extinguished with the repayment of the note.

 

 

The Company entered into Convertible Note #2 dated June 2013, Convertible Note#3 dated October 2013, Convertible #4 dated November 2013, and Convertible #5. The notes had a principal amount of $27,500, $32,500, $53,000 and $53,000 respectively.

 

Convertible Note #2 became convertible on December 11, 2013 at which time we recognized a derivative liability of $39,579 with an offset to debt discount of $27,500 and a derivative expense of $12,079. Additionally, we recognized $1,091 of interest expense related to the debt discount. On December 20, the convertible note holder converted $12,000 of the unpaid principal balance into 17,910,448 shares of common stock. On the date of conversion, we recognized a gain in the change of the fair value of the derivative of $5,524. In addition, we recognized an additional interest expense of $655 related to the conversion of the note. As of the end of December 31, 2013, we recognized an additional $4,336 decrease in the fair value of the derivative relating to the remaining unpaid principal balance of $15,500 on the convertible promissory note. As of December 31, 2013, the remaining unpaid principal balance of the convertible note may be converted into 25,833,333.

 

On Convertible Notes #3 through #5, the Company has recognized accrued interest of $788 through December 31, 2013. Interest is recognized over the life of the note which is 9 months from the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2013, Convertible Note #3 may be converted into approximately 54,166,666 common shares of the Company beginning at day 181 since date of issuance and up until the date maturity of the note. As of December 31, 2013, Convertible Note #4 and Convertible may be converted into approximately 88,333,333 common shares per note, for a total of 176,666,666, of the Company beginning at day 181 since date of issuance and up until the date maturity of the note.

 

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Certain related parties assist in financing operations by personally paying expenses which the Company considers as short-term non-interest bearing operational loans and are recorded as related party accounts payable. These expenses are incurred within the normal course of business of the Company.

 

The Company accrues unpaid management and director fees. A summary of related party transactions for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 follow:

 

		December 31,				December 31,
		2013				2012

Additionally, as of December 31, 2013, our current CEO is owed $89,914 for compensation accrued for prior months and reimbursements related to ongoing operations of the business. These amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

 

NOTE 9. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.

 

The standard requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is $1,641,401 which is calculated by multiplying a 35% estimated tax rate by the cumulative NOL of $4,695,993. The total valuation allowance is also $1,641,401. Details for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 follow:

 

		December 31,				December 31,
		2013				2012
Deferred Tax Asset		$	1,643,598			$	1,330,802
Valuation Allowance			(1,643,598	)			(1,330,802	)
Income Tax Expense		$	–			$	–

 

The components of income tax expense for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively are as follows:

 

		December 31,				December 31,
		2013				2012
Change in Net Operating Loss		$	649,749			$	312,800
Change in Valuation Allowance			(326,950	)			(483,310	)
Income Tax Expense		$	–			$	–

  

The differences between the statutory income tax rates computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate and our effective rate were the following:

 

		Rate
Federal Statutory Rate			35%
Current Loss and NOL Carry Forward			-35%
Net Rate			0%

 

Below is a chart showing the estimated federal net operating losses and the years in which they will expire.

 

Period		Net Operating Loss				Expiration
2003		$	30,313				2023

2012			1,380,887				2032
2013			893,702				2033
Total NOL		$	4,695,993

 

 

The Company has immaterial differences between book and tax income due primarily to permanent differences related to meals and entertainment and temporary differences related to depreciation on property, plant and equipment. All items of differences have been reflected in calculations of net operating losses and deferred tax assets.

 

The Company is in the process of filing an amended 1120 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The main items of amendment relate to the adequacy of the reporting of the foreign subsidiaries. The Company accrued $20,000 and $20,000 in estimated penalties included in accounts payable at December 31, 2012 and 2013 respectively in general and administrative expenses for the years then ended. The settlement of the accrued penalties will be recognized in the period in which the facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the Company’s position will be sustained.

 

The Company does not currently have any uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company’s tax returns currently subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service are for the periods ended December 31, 2006 and subsequent.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

On March 12, 2014, Ingenium Accounting Associates (“Ingenium”) resigned as our registered independent public accountants. Ingenium did not provide information as to the reason for the resignation.

 

The decision to accept the resignation of Ingenium Accounting Associates was approved by our board of directors and our Audit Committee.

 

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years or any subsequent interim period preceding the resignation of Ingenium there were no disagreements with Ingenium on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ingenium, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years. Ingenium’s audit reports on the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 did not provide an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion to our financial statements, nor modify its opinion as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the reports contained explanatory paragraphs in which they indicated conditions existed that raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (who is acting as our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. As of December 31, 2013, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President (acting as our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (acting as our principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance’s with US generally accepted accounting principles due to the existence of significant deficiencies constituting material weaknesses, as described in greater detail below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our management evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive and principal accounting officer, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.

 

Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal accounting officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2013, due to the existence of significant deficiencies constituting material weaknesses, as described in greater detail below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

 Material Weaknesses Identified

 

Based on our management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 and of Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, certain significant deficiencies in internal control became evident to management that our management believes represent material weaknesses, including:

 

(i)

Insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we had limited staff that performed nearly all aspects of our financial reporting process, including, but not limited to, access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability to post and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. This creates certain incompatible duties and a lack of review over the financial reporting process that would likely result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected;

(ii)

There is a lack of sufficient supervision and review by our management;

(iii)

Insufficient corporate governance policies. Although we have a code of ethics which provides broad guidelines for corporate governance, our corporate governance activities and processes are not always formally documented. Specifically, decisions made by the board to be carried out by management should be documented and communicated on a timely basis to reduce the likelihood of any misunderstandings regarding key decisions affecting our operations and management; and

 

 

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

 

We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies as our funding permits.

 

We have implemented certain remediation measures and are in the process of designing and implementing additional remediation measures for the material weaknesses described in this annual report. Such remediation activities include the following:

 

(1)	We intend to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes, as well obtain additional oversight from our Board of Directors.

 

Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls

 

Our principal executive and principal accounting officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additional controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

 

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Effective April 14, 2009, our company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company's president (being our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions.  As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

1.  honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

2.  full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

 

3.  compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

4.  the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

 

5.  accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

 

 

 

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our president and secretary with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

 

Further, all of our company's personnel are to be accorded full access to our company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our Company officers. In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and federal and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company's president or secretary. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the president or secretary, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests may be sent in writing to Sunergy Inc., 14362 N.

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2013, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

_________________________

(1)

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares.  Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.  As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on December 31, 2013.  As of December 31, 2013, there were 2,165,086,452 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

(2)

Mr. Bigler was appointed as our President and Director on August 12, 2012 and resigned as our President in January 2013.

Mr. Levich was appointed as director of our company on December 21, 2009.

Changes in Control

 

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.

 

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended December 31, 2008, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year -end for the last three completed fiscal years.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 we received operational advances from certain members of our Board and Advisory Board. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 we had outstanding obligations of $123,552 and $139,976 due to these individuals. The transactions were incurred by these members in the form of direct payment of Company related operating expenses and were approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Director Independence

 

We currently act with four (3) directors, consisting of Larry Bigler, Robert A. Levich, and Garrett Hale.  We have determined that Mr. Bigler is an “independent director” as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

 

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

 

		Year Ended
		December 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
Audit Fees		$	50,000			$	71,200
Audit Related Fees			Nil				Nil
Tax Fees			Nil				Nil
All Other Fees			Nill				Nil
Total		$	50,000			$	71,200

 

 

 

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our independent auditors are engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be approved by our audit committee; or entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the board of directors, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the board of directors is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the board of directors' responsibilities to management.

 

Our audit committee pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the audit committee either before or after the respective services were rendered.

 

Our audit committee and board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that no services have been performed that would potential impair the independence of our independent auditors.
