PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

Corporate History and Background

 

Powerstorm Capital Corp. was formed on October 11, 2011 in the state of Delaware. On February 25, 2015, Powerstorm Capital Corp. filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation changing its name to Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. (“we”, “Powerstorm” or the “Company”) d/b/a Powerstorm ESS. The Company is a manufacturer of hybrid energy storage systems that provides reliable off-grid solutions to: a) service providers such as telecom tower operators, managed network operators (MNOs), data centers, mining companies, hospitals, b) rural communities and, c) the residential/home use and disaster recovery market.

 

Powerstorm is a fairly new company, and to date, our growth efforts have been focused primarily on refinement of our business model, finalizing the design and development of two initial energy storage products, filing patents, preparing for a full market launch, hiring key personnel, and preparing to raise expansion capital. The management team has identified its target markets and its target customers, however the Company does not currently have any written or oral commitments to provide products or services to customers. In addition, our sources of cash are not adequate for the next 12 months of operations. If we are unable to raise additional cash, we may either have to suspend or cease our expansion plans.

 

Overview

 

Powerstorm intends to serve the strong, growing demand for off-grid, Micro Grid energy storage systems worldwide, and in particular in emerging markets, while helping bring power to the 1.3 billion people living in energy poverty with virtually no connection to the rest of the world. We are focused on developing and delivering innovative, power agnostic, best-in-class, green, turnkey power management and energy storage solutions such as our Modular Energy Storage Solution (“MESS”), and our residential solution, “zeroXess.”

 

MESS is a containerized and optimized hybrid energy solution that can provide renewable and reliable off-grid power. The MESS container has a diesel generator/alternator combined with our Lithium Ion battery-based system and powered by Solar and/or Wind Turbines. The MESS unit is equipped with our patent pending remote monitoring system, the “digital brain” that incorporates and covers the BMS, TMS and NMS. The MESS is plug-and-play and can be operational within a single day when set up and tested by technicians.

 

The MESS is designed to support rural communities and service providers such as telecom tower operators, data centers, mines and hospitals, each serving as anchor points for our entrance into the surrounding communities. Our customers will experience reduced dependence on increasingly expensive diesel fuel, reduced OPEX and CAPEX, reduced energy cost, longer system life, ease of expansion, upgrade and scalability, and overall stable and reliable energy flow.

 

A single MESS unit is capable of powering an entire rural community with green alternative energy, allowing for comprehensive ancillary augmentations that will expand into clean water, healthcare, Internet access, and other benefits. Given that our MESS units are plug and play and operational within twenty four hours of delivery, they make for a fantastic solution in humanitarian aid and relief efforts including disaster recovery, war zones, disease epidemics, etc. This supports the company’s mission of making a difference. Our system has the capacity to immediately change the quality of life for users.

  

The zeroXess system is an off-grid solar lighting kit that is convenient and compact. It is powered by a 12 volt 4500 mAh lithium-ion battery pack and a 25-watt solar panel to provide renewable energy. The zeroXess system features an 8-hour battery life and 6 extra bright, 15-1 watt hanging LED lights, 4 USB chargers with AC adapter, external speakers and fully integrated and network connected interface for basic internet access. The systems have a sleek and stylish design and come in five (5) gorgeous colors.

 

The zeroXess is capable of providing off-grid solar lighting for personal use in small houses in established and emerging rural markets, in humanitarian relief, disaster recovery efforts, and camping.

The Energy Storage Market

 

 

The Energy Storage Market is and will continue to be one of the fastest growing sectors. The off-grid base station power, or “the tower,” is anticipated to grow in revenue from $1.6B in 2012 to $10.5B in 2020 and micro-grid enabling technologies are projected to exceed $26B in annual revenue by 2023. Some reports suggest an even higher projected market growth. Global electricity demand is expected to rise by 40% from 2010 to 2040 as stated in the Navigant Research Report and Pike Report.

 

Energy storage is an increasingly important area of focus since traditional energy sources, like coal, oil, and gas, are consumed far too rapidly to be able to adequately balance electricity supply with the rising demand of the grid. The solution to these quickly exhaustive sources is portable and turnkey energy sources. Powerstorm, with its patent pending technology, intends to lead industry efforts to increase efficiency and provide improved renewable energy technology.

 

In addition to efficiency, there has also previously been the problem of accessibility. Rural communities in developing countries in Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia have historically not had access to an electricity grid to support their energy needs. Since the introduction of off-grid energy technologies, these areas are now able to have off-grid energy solutions with self-reliant micro grid systems that supply remote communities with basic energy needs. Recently, micro grid systems powered by renewable energy sources, such as solar power and wind turbines supported with Lithium Ion battery back-up systems, have become a more and more popular tool to address energy access challenges. The critical importance of energy storage technologies for both modern, developed energy infrastructure and energy access in underdeveloped areas of the world prompts Powerstorm to furnish leading energy storage technologies.

 

Strategy

 

Powerstorm is dedicated to making a difference in the world by providing power to the 1.3 billion that currently do not have power and by providing alternative off grid solutions to relieve the already overburdened existing grid system. To service this overwhelming energy crisis Powerstorm has created a comprehensive sales channel strategy designed to effectively create energy equality, driving rapid market adoption and create brand identity. The strategy is a three (3) pronged approach, wherein we utilize three (3) distribution channels: a) The “Anchor Point” that covers service providers such as telecom tower operators, MNO’s, datacenters, mines and hospitals, b) “Community Power” that covers multi-level government relations, humanitarian outreach organizations, world organizations and non-profits, and c) “VAR” – value added resellers.

  

The anchor point channel will be used as an initial point of sale allowing Powerstorm to provide our MESS solution and begin to build a presence in select regions. Once our MESS is installed within a region, our teams are then able to reach into local communities and create a network of energy storage systems to bring power to their cities. For distribution into our “Anchor Point” customers, management has existing relationships with key telecom tower operators and will target and sell our products into the “Anchor Point” customer such as the telecom tower operators, data centers, mines, and hospitals in the emerging markets. Their extensive knowledge of both the telecommunications industry and emerging market experience enables us to rapidly deploy all of our products into our initial targeted markets.

 

As an example of an anchor point, Powerstorm believes that due to the continued increase in subscribers for wireless personal telecommunication services in the rural markets telecommunication operators and wireless carriers will need to add a significant number of cell sites (towers) to maintain the performance of their networks in the areas they currently cover, and to extend service to new markets. Out of the five (5) million cellular towers worldwide, three (3) million are in emerging regions such as Africa and the Middle East. Of these, over one (1) million are tied to unstable grids and about 640,000 are off-grid. To maintain and grow this network, telecommunications operators must ensure access to energy sources, and must store, manage and deploy power efficiently and reliable. Equally driving the need for hybrid energy solutions is the demand for reduced OPEX and CAPEX costs as the telecom industry is experiencing a difficult time in sustaining margins with declining average revenue per unit (“ARPU”). Powerstorm is positioned to service the telecom operators’ need to significantly reduce operating and capital expenditure costs.

The need for cost-efficient solutions extends into other sectors as well. Current choices, such as diesel generators, have proven too costly to allow remote mines to operate, which has consequences for productivity, profitability, and company security. Unreliability of energy has similar repercussions, as brownouts can result in losses in the millions. This is money that may be saved in the future with increased reliance on off-grid solutions.

 

Additionally, worker safety is at stake. Lack of access to energy in a remote mine means limited light and visibility, increasing risk of accidents. Unreliable energy translates into limited emergency medical care, which has the potential to seriously endanger lives. MESS’ features mean that it is an ideal solution for this type of environment, allowing mines to continue to operate productively and with significantly reduced hazards.

 

Like our other anchor points, data centers are currently growing at a rate that the grid is simply unable to support. With their growth outpacing their source of power, data centers are looking into off- grid options as potential backups. Data centers are particularly taxing on electricity grids. The nature of the work conducted by data centers means that they require uninterrupted power and these high power demands can cause problems, even necessitating grid shutdowns intermittently. Both expensive and inconvenient, this can be avoided with our MESS. For businesses of this nature that rely so heavily on energy for operation, benefits like cost savings, consistence of quality, and guarantee of power even during a grid disruption are all compelling reasons to consider a solution like the ones offered by Powerstorm.

 

Our potential anchor point clients are continuing to expand significantly into the emerging markets, in turn allowing Powerstorm to deliver MESS systems directly into an emerging market.

 

In regards to the “Community Power” channel, the Company will leverage the anchor point customers’ energy access to develop relationships within the local, state and federal level governments within those regions and bring the energy storage systems to the communities. Additionally, the Company will be aggressively establishing relationships with key humanitarian, non-profit, and governmental agencies that focus on bringing a higher quality of life to individuals within the emerging markets. Given the stature of these relationships, a select group of the Company’s senior management will lead the initial development of these relationships while it seeks a seasoned sales personnel that is intimately experienced with the governmental agencies, organizations and the communities.

 

The demand for power in rural regions is staggering. The energy storage solutions we offer, the MESS and the zeroXess, will drastically improve living conditions by increasing accessibility to hospitals, preventative medicine, long term care, clean water and sanitation, agriculture, education, commerce and telecommunications.

 

Powerstorm believes that a carefully identified set of VARs can serve as an extended sales team and lead the company to an accelerated market expansion. The Company is currently identifying the VARs that best serve the Energy Storage Systems market. Senior management will lead the initial development of these relationships while it seeks seasoned sales personnel that are intimately experienced with VARs.

Plan of Operation

 

During the next 12 months, we plan to build our operations and begin delivering hybrid power solutions to customers. Our principal objectives include the development of our manufacturing site and our supply chain protocols, establishing both sales and sales management teams, and arranging pilot sites for our hybrid system. We anticipate prototype development for zeroXess will be complete in Q2 of 2015. MESS’ prototype development and product testing will be complete by Q3 of 2015, and we anticipate that we will be delivering our first pilot orders by the end of Q4 of 2015.

 

The success of our business plan is based on the following assumptions:

 

  The successful establishment of pilot sites for our MESS hybrid power solution will serve as “proof of concept” and will lead to orders for broader deployment.

 

  The successful establishment of the zeroXess solution.

 

  Our business intelligence database, customer relationships, market presence and brand awareness will enable us to secure pilot sites and follow-on orders, despite competition from existing integrators and OEM providers.

 

  The ability to continue to fund our operations and make payments on our financial obligations.

 

There can be no assurance that these assumptions will be correct. If these assumptions prove incorrect, it will affect our ability to generate revenue and to continue our operations.

 

We have commenced limited operations and will require additional capital to recruit personnel to operate the business and to implement our business plan.

 

Over the next 12 months, our business will be generated through our management’s network of anchor point relationships, global telecommunication and cell tower operators, VARs and Government Officials and those of external consultants.

Operational Planning Activities

 

Powerstorm will operate as an energy storage manufacturer as it develops its proprietary technology and implements the following:

 

   

Build out U.S. operations

Improve infrastructure;

Refine business intelligence database;

    Build a manufacturing plant;
    Develop supply chain protocols;
    Finalize additional product offerings and services.
     Finalize global marketing plan;
    Implement sales processes;
    Further expand pipeline of orders;
    Commence installation of initial test orders; and
    Achieve initial sales;

 

Estimated Costs of Operations

 

We estimate that we will need to secure funding of approximately $1,550,000 in order to fund our operations for the next 12 months. Our budget includes $550,000 for hiring key senior positions and general administrative staff, $135,000 in legal, accounting and auditing costs, and investor relations, $70,000 towards travel and lodging and $500,000 for the development and deployment of our Hybrid Solutions and zeroXess, $115,000 for patent filings and patent related activities, and $180,000 for various marketing and promotional expenses.

 

During the next 12 months, besides minimum administrative and business development staff, Powerstorm will hire consultants and engineering services on a project-by-project basis. At this time, Company management, with the exception of the Chief Financial Officer, will not receive a salary and will only be compensated for their travel and other business related expenses.

 

Competition

 

Competition to Powerstorm’s hybrid energy solutions business comes primarily from large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) that provide on-grid, high-end solutions for developed markets with fiscal resources to spill over into emerging markets. Their competitive advantages include brand recognition, global technical and operations personnel, and access to market expansion capital. Added competition comes from systems integrators who have technical teams on the ground in a variety of emerging markets and can provide highly competitive pricing. However, the current market demand is so great that it is outpacing the energy storage systems providers’ ability to service the demand. There are many market factors contributing to this, including the fact that as many as 1.3 billion people currently live without electricity, creating a very large pool of people available to service.

Section 4(2) of the Securities Act

 

The Company issued restricted shares of its common stock.  They were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering.  The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered.  We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors.  In addition, this shareholder had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for these transactions

  Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements, and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Annual Report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

Powerstorm intends to serve the strong, growing demand for off-grid, Micro Grid energy storage systems worldwide, and in particular in emerging markets, while helping bring power to the 1.3 billion people living in energy poverty with virtually no connection to the rest of the world. We are focused on developing and delivering innovative, power agnostic, best-in-class, green, turnkey power management and energy storage solutions such as our Modular Energy Storage Solution (“MESS”), and our residential solution, “zeroXess.”

 

We are an early stage company, and to date, our growth efforts have been focused on the identifying and hiring key personnel, development of our product prototypes and design of product distribution and manufacturing model, filing our patents, initial sales prospecting to our sales pipeline, preparing to raise our first round of equity capital, We have limited operating history for investors to examine and evaluate the potential of our business. We currently do not have any written commitments to provide products or services to customers. In addition, our sources of cash are not adequate for the next 12 months of operations. If we are unable to raise additional cash, we will have to suspend our expansion plans.

 

Our Strategy

 

Today, approximately 1.3 billion people live without access to energy. Powerstorm ESS plans to provide that access and bring the next generation of people online through its innovative line of off-grid energy solutions, including our MESS and zeroXess products. To do this, the company plans to utilize three (3) distribution channels to reach our target market:  anchor points, community organizations, and VAR’s. Definitions of terms and detailed information concerning this strategy can be found on page 5 under “Strategy.”

 

Plan of Operation

 

During the next 12 months, we plan to build our operations and begin delivering hybrid power solutions to customers. Our principal objectives include the development of our manufacturing site and our supply chain protocols, establishing both sales and sales management teams, and arranging pilot sites for our hybrid system. We anticipate prototype development for zeroXess will be complete in Q2 of 2015. MESS’ prototype development and product testing will be complete by Q3 of 2015, and we anticipate that we will be delivering our first pilot orders by the end of Q4 of 2015.

 

The success of our business plan is based on the following assumptions:

 

  The successful establishment of pilot sites for our MESS hybrid power solution will serve as “proof of concept” and will lead to orders for broader deployment.

 

  The successful establishment of the zeroXess solution.

 

  Our business intelligence database, customer relationships, market presence and brand awareness will enable us to secure pilot sites and follow-on orders, despite competition from existing integrators and OEM providers.

 

12
 

 

  The ability to continue to fund our operations and make payments on our financial obligations.

 

There can be no assurance that these assumptions will be correct. If these assumptions prove incorrect, it will affect our ability to generate revenue and to continue our operations.

 

We have commenced limited operations and will require additional capital to recruit personnel to operate the business and to implement our business plan.

 

Over the next 12 months, our business will be generated through our management’s network of anchor point relationships, global telecommunication and cell tower operators, VARs and Government Officials and those of external consultants.

Revenues

 

We recognized revenue of $79,728 from the sale of a generator during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

We also generated revenues from consulting and advisory services from a related party (a European entity owned by a significant shareholder of the Company) of $49,235 and $32,061 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The consulting services are rendered to Powerstorm Amsterdam. 

 

Cost of Revenues

 

We also incurred cost of sales of $65,756 during 2014 related to the sale of a generator we acquired from a related party.

 

Operating Expenses

 

We incurred total operating expenses of $4,080,294 and $161,798 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase of $3,918,496 over the prior year was primarily due to share based compensation incurred related to officers, the Board of Advisors and consultants in connection with the business development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our financial condition as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is summarized as follows:

 

Working Capital Deficit:

 

   December 31, 2014   December 31, 2013 
Current assets  $2,771   $8,945 
Current liabilities   (94,186)   (76,657)
Working capital deficit  $(91,415)  $(67,712)

 

Cash Flows:

 

   Year
Ended
December 31,
 
   2014   2013 
Cash used in operating activities  $(207,522)  $(89,355)
Cash used in investing activities   (3,354)   (2,690)
Cash provided by financing activities   203,828    96,029 
Net increase (decrease) in cash  $(7,048)  $3,984 

 

We had a working capital deficit of $91,415 at December 31, 2014, which indicates substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our Chief Executive Officerr made contributions of $24,600 and advances of $203,828 to fund our operations. We will have to raise additional capital over the next twelve months to meet our current administrative expenses.

 

We plan to secure financing through the issuance of equity or debt. If we are not able to generate sufficient funds from any private placement, public offerings, or bank financings, we will need to raise additional working capital through other sources.

 

Our resources were insufficient to effectuate our inaugural business plan dated October 10, 2011, that extended through the period ended December 31, 2014. We had expected to incur a minimum of $1,550,000 in operating expenses during the subsequent 12 months of operations.

 

We had previously indicated that we would have to raise the funds to pay for these expenses. We may have to borrow money from founders or shareholders, issue debt or equity, or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There is no assurance that we will secure additional capital. There currently are no agreements, arrangements, or understandings that would enable us to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit, or any other source. If we are unable to raise funds for acquisitions it will have a severe negative impact on our ability to execute our business plans.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

 

14
 

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of patent filings and trademarks with indefinite lives. The Company capitalizes the filing and legal fees related to the trademark registrations, which totaled $8,965 and $5,828 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company reviews its indefinite-life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by reference to future cash flows from the products underlying these intangible assets. If these estimates change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment allowances charges for these assets. As of December 31, 2014, no impairment was recorded.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors to be recognized in the financial statements, based on their fair value. The Company measures share-based compensation to consultants in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, and recognizes the fair value of the award over the period the services are rendered or goods are provided.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option. The fair value is recognized as expense, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting periods or the period before the vesting date of the respective award on a straight-line basis.  

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated and adopted ASU 2014-10 during 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors
Powerstorm Holdings, Inc.

(formerly Powerstorm Capital Corp.)
Rancho Palos Verdes, California

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. (formerly Powerstorm Capital Corp.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. Powerstorm Holdings, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits 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 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

POWERSTORM HOLDINGS, INC.

(formerly Powerstorm Capital Corp.)

Notes to Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Powerstorm Capital Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on October 10, 2011 and is located in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The Company was formerly named Powerstorm Capital Corp. and filed to change the name of the Company to Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) in February 2015. The Company intends to be a manufacturer of hybrid energy storage systems that provides reliable off-grid solutions to; a) service providers such as telecom tower operators, MNO’s, data centers, mining companies, hospitals, b) rural communities and, c) the residential/home use and disaster recovery market.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company estimated allowance of $0 for doubtful accounts.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of trademarks with indefinite lives. The Company capitalizes the filing and legal fees related to the trademark registrations, which totaled $8,965 and $5,828 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

The Company reviews its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by reference to future cash flows from the products underlying these intangible assets. If these estimates change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, no impairment was recorded.

 

22
 

 

Furniture and Office Equipment

 

Furniture and office equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over 7 years, the estimated life of the asset. Computers and software developed or obtained for internal use are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is provided against deferred tax assets, based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue generated consisted of revenues from consulting services and products sold. Revenue is recognized at the time when a price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered, the products have been delivered and collectability is assured.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors to be recognized in the financial statements, based on their fair value. The Company measures share-based compensation to consultants in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, and recognizes the fair value of the award over the period the services are rendered or goods are provided.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option. The fair value is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting periods or the period before the vesting date of the respective award on a straight-line basis.  

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consisted of stock options of 1,690,616 and 0, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and depends upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business. The Company is an early stage company and has incurred an accumulated loss of $4,234,511 since inception. The Company has negative working capital of $91,415 and will require additional funds to finance its business plan for the next twelve months. Due to the early-stage nature of the Company, the Company expects to incur additional losses in the immediate future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has historically provided funding for operations until the Company raises sufficient capital to provide for the first-year operating expenses.

 

The Company is planning to obtain financing either through the issuance of equity or debt. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings, and/or bank financings are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital through other sources.

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

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer  and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, 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.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.  The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined and concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.

 

Management’s assessment identified several material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A “material weakness” is defined under SEC rules as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls. Our management concluded that we had material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following as of the evaluation date:

 

  1) lack  of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal control and procedures;
  2)

lack of accounting personnel with adequate experience and training; and

  3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

 

As of the date of this report, the Company does not intend to remedy the foregoing and therefore such material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process will continue. A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

28
 

 

This Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics

We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.

 

Board of Directors

 

Our directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders or at a special meeting called for that purpose. Each director shall hold such office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. Any vacancy occurring on the board of directors and any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Such newly elected director shall hold such office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.

 

Any officer elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed at any time by the Board of Directors. Any officer appointed by the Chairman may be removed at any time by the Board of Directors or the Chairman.

There are no compensation plans or arrangements, including payments to be made by us, with respect to our officers, Directors or consultants that would result from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of such Directors, officers or consultants from us. There are no arrangements for Directors, officers, employees or consultants that would result from a change-in-control.

 

Board of Advisor Compensation

 

In consideration of their services, Members of the Board of Advisors shall be granted 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock options pursuant to the company’s incentive stock option plan upon the completion of a one year term, commencing on January 1, 2015 and terminating on December 31, 2015.

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

On October 15, 2013, the Board of Directors and majority of the shareholders of the Company authorized a 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) covering 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The purpose of the 2013 Plan is to enable Powerstorm to offer to its employees, officers, directors and consultants, whose past, present and/or potential contributions to the Company have been, are or will be important to our success, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company.

 

35
 

 

The 2013 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors or one or more designated committees. Plan awards may either be:

 

  · Options (ISOs),
  · Stock Awards (SAs),
  · Stock Appreciation Right (SARs), or
  · Cash Awards (CAs).

 

Any option granted under the 2014 Plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, but the exercise price of any ISO granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The plan further provides that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any option holder during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. The term of each plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the Board of Directors, or the designated administrative committee, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant.

 

Any SAR granted under the 2013 Plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The 2013 Plan further provides that the terms, number, and expiration of all SARs shall be determined by the 2013 Plan’s administrator, in its sole discretion.

 

The Company, during the term of the 2013 Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Subject to the limitation on the aggregate number of shares issuable under the plan, there is no maximum or minimum number of shares as to which a stock grant or plan option may be granted to any person.

 

1,690,616 options have been granted under the 2013 Plan as of the date of this Report.

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

 

Certain Related Party Transactions

 

From October 10, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2013, a related party entity advanced to the Company and made payments to several of the Company’s vendors on behalf of the Company for a total of $126,809. The Company’s President and Chairman of the Board of Directors serves as the president of this related party entity. The advances are due on demand and bear no interest.

 

On October 15, 2012, the Company issued 420,000 shares of common stock to this related party entity as a reimbursement for the advances and payments made and on behalf of the Company. The shares were valued at the fair value of the expense reimbursement of $42,000.

 

On March 22, 2013, the Company issued 137,800 shares of common stock to this related party entity as a reimbursement for the advances and payments made and on behalf of the Company. The shares were valued at the fair value of the expense reimbursement of $13,780.

No costs of sales were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

37
 

 

Director Independence

 

We currently have no independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship that, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

  the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

 

  the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

 

  a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;

 

  the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);

 

  the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

 

  The director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

 

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

 

Audit Fees

 

The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K or 10-Q or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings were approximately $15,000 and $15,200 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Audit Related Fees

 

There were no fees for audit related services for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Tax Fees

 

For the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we were not billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.

 

All Other Fees

 

There were no other fees related to our principal accountant for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

  

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

 

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is 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 audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular  service,  the  audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

 

We do not have an audit committee.  Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.

 

The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our Board of Directors does not have records of what percentage of the above fees were pre-approved.  However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire Board of Directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
