PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Statements in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by our management. These assumptions are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation” and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our financial condition, factors that affect our industry, market and customer acceptance, changes in technology, fluctuations in our quarterly results, our ability to continue and manage our growth, liquidity and other capital resource issues, competition, fulfillment of contractual obligations by other parties and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, except as required by law.

Turbine Truck Engines, Inc.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013,
and the Period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception)
through March 31, 2014
(unaudited)

1.
Background Information

Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. (the “Company”) is a development stage enterprise that was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 27, 2000, and converted to a Nevada corporation in 2008. To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to raising capital, organizational matters, and the structuring of its business plan. The corporate headquarters is located in Paisley, Florida.

We are currently working on the development of three (3) separate revolutionary technologies: (a) Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (DCGT); (b) Hydrogen Production Burner System (HPBS); and (c) the Gas To Methanol Technology (GTM)

Effective August 29, 2013, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, to reflect the Board of Directors adoption of a resolution, consented to by those holding a majority of the common shareholder votes, which increased the authorized common stock of the company to 499,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.001.

Financial Statements
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2014, (b) the financial position at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and (c) cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the period November 27, 2000 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2014, have been made.

The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.

3.
Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and since November 27, 2000 (date of inception) through March 31, 2014, the Company had a net loss of $145,892 and $18,564,972, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has not emerged from the development stage and has a working capital deficit of $107,994. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed are:

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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash is maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have never experienced any losses related to these balances. All of our non-interest bearing cash balances were fully insured at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Insurance coverage was $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and our non-interest bearing cash balances may again exceed federally insured limits. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no amounts held in interest bearing accounts.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value, due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates their fair value due to the use of market rates of interest and maturity schedules for similar issues. The derivative liability is recorded at fair value (see Note 7).

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a declining balance and straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally two to seven years. Accelerated methods are used for tax depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When furniture and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets or asset groups whenever adverse events or changes in business climate indicate that the expected undiscounted future cash flows from the related assets may be less than previously anticipated. If the net book value of the related assets exceed the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets, the carrying amount would be reduced to the present value of their expected future cash flows and an impairment loss would be recognized. There have been no impairment losses in any of the periods presented.

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. The amounts charged for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the period November 27, 2000 (date of inception) to March 31, 2014 amounted to $0, $0 and $3,882,494, respectively.
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences associated with differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
 
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (ASC 740-10), January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

The Company entered into various loan agreements with a Canadian company. In accordance with the loan agreements, the Company issued shares of common stock to the Canadian company as additional costs in obtaining the financing. These shares have been accounted for as contra-equity deferred non-cash offering issuance costs and they are being amortized as interest expense over the life of the notes which are five years. Foreign currency translation gains and losses, when material, have been recorded as other comprehensive income.
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive options outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company during these periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 potentially dilutive common stock options and warrants of 6,655,413 and 5,405,413 have been excluded from dilutive earnings per share due to the Company’s losses in all periods presented. Additionally, potential common shares from convertible preferred stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of 500,000 shares.

The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The Company issues common stock and common stock options and warrants to consultants for various services. For these transactions, the Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 505. Costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measureable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instrument is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
 
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The Company had a derivative liability at December 31, 2013 associated with an embedded conversion option that was included as a level 2 input.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

5.
Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leased its corporate headquarters on a month-to-month basis. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, rent expense was approximately $6,250 and $6,250, respectively.
 
In January 2013, the Company entered into employment agreements with terms that commence on January 1, 2013 and run through December 31, 2013. These agreements have a cumulative annual salary of approximately $104,000 annually and cumulative grants of fully vested stock issuances of 450,000 shares of stock. At the January 1, 2013 grant date, the Company recognized approximately $1,350 in stock-based compensation related to the above grants of common stock made during 2013. Additionally, the employees were entitled to receive a bonus of 1,250,000 common stock options, with an exercise price of $0.05 per share, and expire five years from the date of grant. The grants of common stock and common stock options were essentially sign-on bonuses, and accordingly, the grant-date fair values were recognized as compensation expense at the January 1, 2013. These employment agreements were not renewed upon their expiration on December 31, 2013.
 
On January 23, 2013 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with BluGen, Inc., a California corporation (“BluGen”) for the purpose of setting the basis for the joint development of a natural gas to Methanol technology (“GTM Technology”). Under the terms of the Agreement, BluGen will work with TTE, and the inventor, Robert Scragg to recreate and expand upon the original designs created by Mr. Scragg and to re-develop a lab version and control system, among other things. These items are to be completed under a timetable that has been agreed upon by the parties. The Parties have agreed to establish at a later date, a joint venture, wherein the Company will have a 15% interest and BluGen will have a 49% interest, and into which the commercial application of the technology will be developed. There has been no activity at the date of this filing.
 
On May 28, 2013, the Company entered into Lease Agreement dated with Fujian Xinchang Leather Company Limited, a Chinese company (“Fujian”), whose address is Jinjiang City, Fujian, China Ying Lin Zhenxin Chang Industrial Park (the “Plant”) for the lease of a Hydrogen boiler combustion equipment system (the “Equipment”) to be installed at their Plant. The Unit price for the Equipment is RMB 4,800,000 Yuan (approximately $800,000 US). The term of the Lease is seven (7) years, and renews on an annual basis if not terminated. Once installation and proven energy efficiency are established, Fujian will post the performance bond of RMB 1 million Yuan and rental payments shall commence, and be paid monthly thereafter. Any termination of the Lease within the first six (6) years will entitle the Company to take possession of the entire performance bond. As of March 31, 2014, the equipment has not been installed and there has not been any payments made on this lease.

The Company has entered into various other agreements that have been disclosed in previous 10K and 10Q filings. These agreements have been put on hold but will be further pursued as adequate funding is generated.

6.
Notes Payable

On July 30, 2013, the Company signed an Agreement with 2367416 Ontario, Inc., a Canadian company (“236”), whereby 236 agrees to provide financing to the Company in the initial sum of CAN $450,000 and a maximum of CAN $10,000,000 in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The financing to be provided is to be funded in tranches, and will have terms between three (3) and five (5) years, with each tranche being separately negotiated. As a part of the loan costs, 236 shall be issued restricted common stock equal to the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of the initial advance, with such shares being subject to a Lock Up/Leak Out Agreement to be negotiated between the parties. These shares are considered an additional cost in obtaining the financing and the value of these shares at the commitment date is recorded as a contra equity and amortized over five years.

Convertible Notes and Derivative liability

On April 24, 2012 (the “Closing date”), the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $278,000. The lender funded $75,000 to the Company, and the lender at their discretion may fund additional amounts to the Company. The note matures one year from the closing date. If the Company pays the note within 90 days of the closing date, the interest rate is 0%. If the note is not paid within 90 days of the closing date, a one-time interest charge of 5% will be applied to the unpaid principal amount. The conversion option price associated with the note is the lesser of $0.10 or 70% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days previous to any conversion. The note is convertible at any time. As a result of the variable feature associated with the conversion option, pursuant to ASC Topic 815, the Company bifurcated the conversion option, and utilized the black Scholes model to determine the fair value of the conversion option. At the issuance date, the Company recorded a debt discount and derivative liability of $75,000 and $100,415, respectively. The debt discount was fully amortized since the Company fully converted the remaining principle of $10,356 into 1,479,000 shares of common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The derivative liability has been adjusted to fair value each reporting period with unrealized gain (loss) reflected in other income and expense and extinguished due to it being fully converted.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the unrealized loss on the above derivatives was $5,129.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 related to the above derivative liability are as follows:

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 1 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Company’s derivative liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value the derivative liabilities utilizing observable inputs such as the Company’s common stock price, the exercise price of the warrants, and expected volatility, which is based on historical volatility. The Black-Scholes model employs the market approach in determining fair value.

The Company and Alpha entered into a License Agreement dated December 31, 2001, pursuant to which the Company has accrued royalties and other payables to Alpha in the amount of $1,508,250 as of the date of the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Alpha agreed to accept 250,000 shares of the company common stock in full settlement of the above royalties and other payables and further agreed to reduce the annual license royalty payable under the License Agreement from $250,000 per year to $25,000 per year, retroactive to January 1, 2012, with the first payment being due January 1, 2013. On April 27, 2012, the Company recorded the difference between the fair value of the common stock issued to Alpha and the settlement of the accrued royalties and other payables as a capital contribution from Alpha to the Company, which is included in additional paid-in capital at December 31, 2012.
 
The above terms and amounts are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. is an American clean-air technology company dedicated to identifying, developing and commercializing important scientific innovations designed to dramatically enhance both environmental conservation and cost savings in how the world consumes energy.

We are a development-stage company and not yet generating any revenues. We are currently working on the development of three (3) separate revolutionary technologies: (a) Hyrdrogen Production Burner System (HPBS); (b) Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (DCGT); and (c) the Gas To Methanol Technology (GTM).
 
HYDROGEN PRODUCTION BURNER SYSTEMS (HPBS)

The Company is currently concentrating its focus on the development of its Hydrogen Production Burner Systems, as this technology is commercialized and ready for market. The HPBS is an efficient methanol to hydrogen production technology which utilizes a steam reformation process, employs a proprietary chemical catalyst and a unique low temperature pyrolytic reaction to convert common methanol into clean-burning hydrogen gas on-demand for immediate on-site use – no storage of hydrogen required.
 
This hydrogen generator system is applicable to a wide array of industrial boilers and steam generators as well as other various residential and commercial applications. The efficiency of the Hydrogen Generator and burner unit could save the end user 30-60% on their energy costs as compared to the current sources of energy such as electricity, heavy oils or natural gas. The hydrogen generator also eliminates the cost and need for high pressure storage tanks as it generates the hydrogen on demand.

On May 28, 2013, the Company entered into Lease Agreement dated with Fujian Xinchang Leather Company Limited, a Chinese company (“Fujian”), whose address is Jinjiang City, Fujian, China Ying Lin Zhenxin Chang Industrial Park (the “Plant”) for the lease of a Hydrogen boiler combustion equipment system (the “Equipment”) to be installed at their Plant. The Unit price for the Equipment is RMB 4,800,000 Yuan (approximately $800,000 US). The term of the Lease is seven (7) years, and renews on an annual basis if not terminated. Once installation and proven energy efficiency are established, Fujian will post the performance bond of RMB 1 million Yuan and rental payments shall commence, and be paid monthly thereafter. Any termination of the Lease within the first six (6) years will entitle TTE to confiscate the entire performance bond.
 
On June 28, 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture with Energy Technology Services Co., Ltd., ("ETS"), a Taiwan corporation, for the manufacture, distribution, leasing/sale, installation and maintenance of ETS’s Hydrogen Generator Burning Systems. Under the final structure of the joint venture, the Company is the managing partner and ETS is the operational partner and managing agent in Asia for all business conducted on behalf of the joint venture. All revenue and contracts from the joint venture will be booked by Turbine Truck Engines with a 50/50 sharing of net profit between the Company and ETS after “reasonable expenses”. The Company will purchase and own all assets, leases and contracts generated by the joint venture.
 
On July 30, 2013, the Company signed an Agreement with 2367416 Ontario, Inc., a Canadian company (“236”), whereby 236 agrees to provide financing to the Company in the initial sum of CAN $450,000 and a maximum of CAN $10,000,000 in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The financing to be provided is to be funded in tranches, and will have terms between three (3) and five (5) years, with each tranche being separately negotiated. As a part of the loan costs, 236 shall be issued restricted common stock equal to the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of the initial advance, with such shares being subject to a Lock Up/Leak Out Agreement to be negotiated between the parties. These shares are considered an additional cost in obtaining the financing and the value of these shares at the commitment date is recorded as a contra equity and amortized over five years.
 
A total of CAN $300,000 was advanced under the Loan Agreement with 2367416 Ontario, Inc, and was delivered to ETS, as the initial payment on the first machine to be delivered under a purchase order agreement for a Hydrogen Production Burner System (HPBS). Despite positive initial reports from ETS during the manufacturing of the Equipment, they did not deliver the machine as promised under the Agreement. The Company has declared ETS to be in default and the Company has asked to be refunded as per the purchase order agreement the Company has received CAN 50,000 and are in negotiations to receive the CAN 250,000 plus interest owed. On 4/13/14 the Company filed a criminal complaint with the DA office in Taipei Taiwan charging ETS and its principles of alleged fraud.
 
The Company is now in final negotiations directly with the Inventor, Dr. Chang and his new Company ZHENG YU CO. (ZYC), to provide us with the equipment necessary to fulfill our business plan. ZYC has agreed to sell us the rights to the technology for $1.8 million US for the H2 generator upon the completion and certification of the generator. We are currently working to formalize this agreement and expect to do so in the second quarter of 2014.
 
The Company is continuing its pursuit of additional joint ventures and distributorship relationships to facilitate the expansion of this business line.
 
DETONATION CYCLE GAS TURBINE ENGINE (DCGT)

We are continuing to work on the commercialization of our Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (“DCGT”) technology. The licensor of the acquired technology has passed the research and development phase and has designed a working prototype. We need to redesign an engine for our application based on this proven Core Technology. We are relying on AbM Engineering in collaboration with AMEC to design, construct and test a 540 horsepower engine prototype for our licensed application. In July 2002, we acquired the license for the DCGT technology for the manufacture and marketing of heavy-duty highway truck engine.
 
If the Company can successfully demonstrate a highway truck engine using the technology, the Company intends to form a joint venture with a major heavy duty highway truck manufacturer to manufacture, market, and sell turbine truck engines for use in heavy duty highway trucks throughout the United States.

GAS TO METHANOL TECHNOLOGY (GTM)

On January 23, 2013 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with BluGen, Inc., a California corporation (“BluGen”) for the purpose of setting the basis for the joint development of a natural gas to Methanol technology (“GTM Technology”). Under the terms of the Agreement, BluGen will work with the Company, and the inventor, Robert Scragg to recreate and expand upon the original designs created by Mr. Scragg and to re-develop a lab version and control system, among other things. These items are to be completed under a timetable that has been agreed upon by the parties.

Under this Process, the methane gas contained in natural gas is conveyed into an electromagnetic combustion and condensing chamber and combined with oxygen which has been passed through an electromagnetic field and pre-atomized. The atomized oxygen combines stoichiometrically with the methane gas in an exothermic reaction to produce Methanol gas. The Methanol gas is then condensed in the reactor to form liquid Methanol. We are currently working with Scragg to finalize the licensing for this process.

The parties have agreed to establish, at later date, a Joint Venture, wherein TTE will have 51% interest and BluGen will have a 49% interest, and into which the commercial application of the technology will be developed.
 
FINANCING

The financing for our development activities to date has come from the sale of common stock. The Company is looking to the credit facility provided by 236 for financing the HPBS Equipment development. The financing for the development of the GTM technology is to be provided by Blue Gen. The continued development of the DCGT engine and the Company’s working capital needs will continue to be funded largely from the sale of public equity securities with additional funding from a private placement or secondary offering and other traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
 
Since we have had a limited history of operations, we anticipate that our quarterly results of operations will fluctuate significantly for the foreseeable future. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly companies commercializing new and evolving technologies such as ours.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013
 
Research and Development Costs – During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, research and development costs totaled $0 and $0, respectively.

Operating Costs – During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, operating costs totaled $48,050 and $100,902, respectively. The decrease of $52,852 was mainly attributable to an approximately $25,000 decrease in payroll expenses and a decrease of approximately $28,000 in professional fees.

Interest (Income) Expense - Net - During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net interest expense totaled $92,713 and $61,675, respectively. The increase of $31,038 was primarily due to the Company issuing notes payable during 2013 and 2014 with interest at 20%.

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $145,892 and $242,552, respectively. The decrease of $96,660 was mainly attributable to the decrease in operating expenses and the decrease in the change in fair value of derivative liability offset by the increase in interest expense as discussed above.
 
Liquidity and capital resources
 
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and since November 27, 2000 (date of inception) through March 31, 2014, the Company has had net losses of $145,892, $242,552 and $18,564,972, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital or begin operations to achieve a level of profitability to continue as a going concern.

As previously mentioned, since inception, we have financed our operations largely from the sale of common stock. From inception through March 31, 2014 we raised cash of approximately $4,246,224 net of issuance costs, through private placements of common stock financings and $1,213,385 through the issuance of notes payable or convertible notes payable. Additionally, we have raised net proceeds from stockholder advances of $110,498.

Since our inception through March 31, 2014 we have incurred $3,882,494 of research and development costs. These expenses were principally related to the acquisition of a license agreement in July 2002 in the amount of $2,735,649, which was expensed to research and development costs for the DCGT technology and general and administrative expenses.
 
We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of March 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $18,564,972.

We anticipate that cash used in product development and operations, especially in the marketing, production and sale of our products, will increase significantly in the future.

We will be dependent upon the 236 Loan Agreement, our existing cash, together with anticipated net proceeds from any public offering and future debt issuances and private placements of common stock and potential license fees, to finance our planned operations through the next 12 months. Based on our anticipated growth, we plan to add several employees to our staff.

Additional capital may not be available when required or on favorable terms. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to significantly reduce or refocus our operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain or potential markets, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in ownership dilution to our existing stockholders.

The Company may receive proceeds in the future from the exercise of warrants and options outstanding as of March 31, 2014 in accordance with the following schedule:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
 
 
18

 

We account for stock option grants in accordance with US GAAP. Stock-based compensation cost recognized during the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on their relative grant date fair values estimated in accordance with US GAAP. The Company recognizes compensation expenses on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Determination of the fair values of stock option grants at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected term of the relevant grants and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock. Additionally, management must estimate the amount of stock option grants that are expected to be forfeited. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the options are expected outstanding and is based on historical experience of similar grants, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the grants, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The expected volatility is based upon our historical market price at consistent points in a period equal to the expected life of the options. Expected forfeitures are based on historical experience and expectations of future employee behavior.

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a declining balance and straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally two to seven years. Accelerated methods are used for tax depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When furniture and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

The Company has incurred deferred offering costs in connection with raising additional capital through the sale of its common stock. These costs are capitalized and charged against additional paid-in capital when common stock is issued. If there is no issuance of common stock, the costs incurred are charged to operations.

The Company incurred deferred loan offering costs in connection with entering into note agreements with its lender. These costs are paid with the Company’s restricted common shares and are valued at the commitment dates. They are recorded as a contra-equity and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the notes, which is five years.

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Other recent accounting standards issued by the FASB (including EIFTs), the AICPA and the Securities and Exchange Commission did and are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of and for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The controls were determined to be ineffective due to the lack of segregation of duties. Currently, management contracts with an outside CPA to perform the duties of the Chief Financial Officer and Principle Accounting Officer and an outside consultant to assist with the preparation of the filings. However, until the Company has received additional funding, they are unable to remediate the weakness.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
