GREEN TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1. General Organization and Business
 
Company History
 
Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (“GTSO”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated as XCL Sunrise, Inc. in the State of Delaware on April 1, 1991. We changed our name to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. on November 1, 2004. On October 26, 2010, we changed our name to Green Technology Solutions, Inc.
 
On September 20, 2012, GTSO formed two subsidiaries, which may be used to hold GTSO’s urban and traditional mining operations. The new subsidiaries are GTSO Urban Mining LLC and GTSO Resources LLC.
 
On July 28, 2014, the Company reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada. The reincorporation was approved by our board of directors and by the owners of a majority of our outstanding voting stock.
 
GTSO is in the business of identifying and acquiring rights in early stage, breakthrough green technologies, with the plan to develop these technologies into marketable products. To date, we have identified the following market segments: (1) the advancement of cleaner worldwide mining technologies, with an emphasis on rare earth and precious metals mining applications, (2) the development of additional markets for environmentally friendly methods of recovering minerals from electronic waste and (3) smart grid technology. Our mission is to focus our resources on discovering the best available new innovative technologies and processes in this industry space and we intend to work with young companies and inventors to deliver innovation in the real world.
 
In addition to the foregoing, we plan to focus our resources on successfully identifying new green technologies that have greatest potential to produce near term profits. Due to our limited management and employees, we expect to continue to form strategic joint venture relationships with early stage development technology companies whose goals and objectives are similar to ours. Moreover, we anticipate continued use of and reliance upon industry consultants who have the knowledge and expertise in the areas of our existing and future business ventures. We have located our new offices in the Silicon Valley city of Palo Alto, California, which management believes may increase access to cutting edge technologies.
 
Note 2. Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $620,108 during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The company had negative working capital of $278,923 as of June 30, 2014.
 
In view of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis by raising additional funds through debt or equity financing. The Company expects to satisfy its cash requirements by obtaining additional loans; however, there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company when needed and on acceptable terms. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
 
Note 3. Presentation of Financial Statements and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying these unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in our Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
 
 
The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States. See Note 2 regarding the assumption that the Company is a going concern.
 
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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For the purpose of the financial statements, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents were $20,814 and $4,198 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company is not currently generating revenue. However, revenue generated in the future will be recognized according to ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
 
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. The basic earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no dilutive shares outstanding for any periods reported.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013
 
Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
 
 
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 June 30, 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, and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms that is not significantly different from its stated value.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
 
Note 4. Advances
 
The Company has received working capital advances in the amount of $131,696 during the six months ended of June 30, 2014. There were no advances outstanding as of June 30, 2014. These advances are non-interest bearing and payable upon demand. The Company had imputed interest on these advances in the amount $5,255 during the six months ended of June 30, 2014. The imputed interest was recording as an increase in additional paid in capital.

The number of shares that may be issued under the plan is 10,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of this filing, no shares, options, or warrants have been issued under the Plan.
 
 
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Overview
 
Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (“GTSO”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated as XCL Sunrise, Inc. in the State of Delaware on April 1, 1991. We changed our name to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. on November 1, 2004. On October 26, 2010, we changed our name to Green Technology Solutions, Inc.
 
On September 20, 2012, GTSO formed two subsidiaries, which may be used to hold GTSO’s urban and traditional mining operations. The new subsidiaries are GTSO Urban Mining LLC and GTSO Resources LLC.
 
On July 28, 2014, the Company reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada. The reincorporation was approved by our board of directors and by the owners of a majority of our outstanding voting stock.
 
GTSO is in the business of identifying and acquiring rights in early stage, breakthrough green technologies, with the plan to develop these technologies into marketable products. To date, we have identified the following market segments: (1) the advancement of cleaner worldwide mining technologies, with an emphasis on rare earth and precious metals mining applications, (2) the development of additional markets for environmentally friendly methods of recovering minerals from electronic waste and (3) smart grid technology. Our mission is to focus our resources on discovering the best available new innovative technologies and processes in this industry space and we intend to work with young companies and inventors to deliver innovation in the real world.
 
In addition to the foregoing, we plan to focus our resources on successfully identifying new green technologies that have greatest potential to produce near term profits. Due to our limited management and employees, we expect to continue to form strategic joint venture relationships with early stage development technology companies whose goals and objectives are similar to ours. Moreover, we anticipate continued use of and reliance upon industry consultants who have the knowledge and expertise in the areas of our existing and future business ventures. We have located our new offices in the Silicon Valley city of Palo Alto, California, which management believes may increase access to cutting edge technologies.
 
Plan of Operations
 
We are currently identifying possible early stage companies and technology across a range of green technologies and environmentally friendly practices for the purpose of acquiring rights to them, joint venture partnerships and developing them into marketable products. We have already identified several potential new technology endeavors and management is studying these endeavors for their potential inclusion into our development process.
 
On June 8, 2012, we signed a joint venture agreement with Diamond V Associates, Inc. to fund the research, planning, and development of tungsten and other rare earths and precious metals in North America and Africa. According to the agreement, all profits, losses and other allocations to the joint venture shall be allocated as follows at the conclusion of each fiscal year on a 50:50 basis between GTSO and Diamond V Associates. We will contribute $2,000 per month to the joint venture for working capital for the joint venture’s operations. GTSO reserves the right to reduce or increase this contribution based on performance by Diamond V Associates. If we determine that additional funding is required after projects are identified, we will negotiate the amount of any contribution that we would make with Diamond V Associates. GTSO paid $10,000 during the year as working capital. As of December 31, 2012, Management determined that it was necessary to write off the intangible asset related to this joint venture agreement due to the fact the joint venture will need to raise significant additional capital in order to fully realize the value of our claims in the joint venture.
 
On July 10, 2012, we signed a letter of intent regarding the potential acquisition of Global Cell Buyers, LLC. The letter of intent provides us with 90 days to perform due diligence and negotiate a final purchase price. Global Cell Buyers, LLC is a development stage business that plans to buy, sell, and recycle cell phones.
 
On July 24, 2012, we entered into letter of intent CCI Capital SPA with offices in Santiago, Chile to explore acquisition opportunities in Latin America with a focus on urban mining and waste to energy projects. On September 5, 2012, this was expanded into a one year consulting agreement to explore acquisition opportunities in Latin America and Canada where CCI Capital SPA has active offices in Chile and Canada. GTSO pays CCI Capital $2,000 per month as a retainer for nominal consulting, negotiation and market research studies in the pursuit of an acquisition focused on urban mining and waste to energy projects.
 
 
On October 30 2012, we entered into a purchase agreement with Global Cell Buyers, LLC regarding the acquisition of existing methods, brand name, and current operating plans. Global Cell Buyers was acquired by GTSO for the purchase price of $10,000 payable in cash and common stock. The purpose of this acquisition is to expand recycling and urban mining operations from cell phones to other electronic waste for the purpose of mineral and other reusable metal and plastic recovery. GTSO also plans to expand the brand name of Global Cell Buyers leveraging its parent operations Green Technology Solutions, Inc. On November 14, 2012, GTSO rebranded Global Cell Buyers under the name “Global Urban Mining” to build and expand its e-recycling platform within the United States and eventual global expansion plans.
 
The purchase price was allocated entirely to intangible assets related to the Global Cell Buyers’ infrastructure plans related to mineral recovery from cell phone waste. Global Cell Buyers had no other tangible assets or liabilities. As of December 31, 2012, Management determined that it was necessary to write off the intangible asset related to this acquisition because Global Cell Buyers was in the early development stages and did not have adequate operating history to support retaining the intangible asset on the consolidated balance sheet.
 
On March 4, 2013, we entered into a letter of intent with Sociedad de Reciclaje de Materiales Metalicos, Electrico, Electronicos y Plasticas Limitada (“Chilerecicla”) to explore opportunities with Latin America electronic waste recyclers for the purpose of recovering precious metals, minerals, and waste to energy possibilities. Chilerecicla is based near Santiago, Chile with significant operations across the country and surrounding regions.
 
On June 6, 2013 GTSO and Chilerecicla signed a joint venture agreement to evaluate, explore and determine the feasibility of a waste management collection, processing and sales operation wherein GTSO will contribute funding and the initial development of a project to acquire electronics and plastic waste for the purpose of selling metals and plastics reuse while Chilerecicla manages the Latin America operations. Under the terms of the agreement, GTSO commits to fund a minimum of $2,500 of the cash flow requirements of the start-up phase of the operations. Chilerecicla agrees to reserve 30% of the gross proceeds of the business for repayment of the initial contribution. At the end of the start-up phase, Chilerecicla will provide GTSO with a detailed timeline, budget, and operational plan for further development. Both parties will have 60 days to agree on an appropriate funding strategy for the next phase. GTSO will have no obligation to continue funding the business.
 
On September 1, 2013, GTSO and Chilerecicla signed a second joint venture agreement (the “Chilerecicla JV”) to execute an initial spot and single operation as a way to test in practice the planning they have designed so far. Under the terms of this second agreement, GTSO will contribute $50,000 which is payable in two installments within 30 days. These funds will be used to purchase electronic and plastic waste in Chile and to export and sell minerals, metals, and plastics for reuse. Chilerecicla will manage the process of purchasing and selling the e-waste materials. Under the terms of the agreement, GTSO will receive a minimum of 50% of the net profits of the Chilerecicla JV.
 
The Chilerecicla JV represents an investment in an unproven start-up operation and an emerging market. Therefore, the likelihood of the Chilerecicla JV to be able to realize profitable operations and positive cash flow is unknown at this time. As a result, GTSO has expensed all investments in this joint venture, although the Company still believes that it represents a positive business opportunity.
 
Through GTSO’s newest initiatives in traditional and urban mining, rare earth and precious metals sector, the Company plans to create the necessary processes, logistics, and distribution channels to mine, recover, distribute, and sell precious and other metals to the global marketplace. The Company intends to be a driving force behind a more competitive minerals and metals mining and recovery market. The Company’s alliances in South America, Asia, and Africa provide a strategic advantage and access to one of the most plentiful rare earth and minerals deposits in the world. GTSO has also identified additional joint venture and acquisition targets in China, Africa, and South America. The mission is to meet the growing demand for gold, silver, tungsten and other precious and rare metals, while introducing sustainable and environmentally friendly practices that also create new products and reduce greenhouse gas pollutants using biomass and organic carbon sequestration.
 
GTSO will continue traditional mining operations through joint ventures such as Diamond V Associates, but the current acquisition and joint venture focus is building sustainable recovery methods of precious, rare, and other metals and minerals through utilizing existing electronic waste. In addition, GTSO has identified several target companies in emerging market such as Latin America to leverage current collection and distribution of e-waste for the use of valuable metals they contain. GTSO plans to continue support of traditional mining operations such as placer mining through Diamond V Associates and other innovative prospectors and operators on a case-by-case scenario.
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the condensed financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our condensed financial statements.
 
While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.
 
For a full description of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2013 on Form 10-K.
 
Results of Operations
 
Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
We recognized general and administrative expenses in the amount of $501,384 and $168,785 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase is primarily the result of increased professional fees.
 
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased from $252,371 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $118,724 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included amortization of discount on convertible notes payable in the amount of $89,618, compared to $219,192 for the comparable period of 2013. The decrease was due to fewer conversions of convertible notes in the current quarter.
 
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $620,108 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $421,156 for the comparable period of 2013. The increase in the net loss was primarily the result of the aforementioned decrease in professional fees and interest expense.
 
Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
We recognized general and administrative expenses in the amount of $95,550 and $92,268 for the three months ended  June 30, 2014 and ended 2013, respectively. The increase is primarily the result of increased professional fees.

Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $620,108 during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The company had negative working capital of $278,923 as of June 30, 2014.
 
In view of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis by raising additional funds through debt or equity financing. The Company expects to satisfy its cash requirements by obtaining additional loans; however, there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company when needed and on acceptable terms. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At June 30, 2014, we had cash on hand of $20,814. The company has negative working capital of $278,923 . Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $145,080. Cash on hand is adequate to fund our operations for less than six months. We do not expect to achieve positive cash flow from operating activities in the near future. We will require additional cash in order to implement our business plan. There is no guarantee that we will be able to attain fund when we need them or that funds will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2014.
 
Additional Financing
 
Additional financing is required to continue operations. Although actively searching for available capital, the Company does not have any current arrangements for additional outside sources of financing and cannot provide any assurance that such financing will be available.
 
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.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
1.  
As of June 30, 2014, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
 
2.  
As of June 30, 2014, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
 
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who is the same person, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or 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. Due to 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, have been detected.
 
Change in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.
