PART I
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
  
Our History  
 
Cardinal Resources provides innovative systems and solutions to water pollution, wastewater and environmental problems.
 
Cardinal Resources has been working towards its mission of Clean Water, Clean Environment, Worldwide since its inception in 2004, and the founders have been working on solving water, wastewater, and environmental problems throughout their careers. Our commitment to that mission is reflected in the development of the patented Red Bird System and sustainable, appropriate technology solutions to waste water treatment. Cardinal Resources is focused on expanding and making our solutions the worldwide standard in sustainable water treatment. On November 22, 2013 we completed a reverse acquisition transaction between JH Designs Inc. and Cardinal Resources LLC.  We amended the articles of incorporation to change our name to Cardinal Resources, Inc. effective in January 2014.
 
The Red Bird System is a patented solar-powered water treatment system with four base production models that can also be customized to specific needs. The Mobile Red Bird, housed in a trailer, the Community Red Bird System-20 (CRB20), housed in a 20-foot ISO container, and the CRB40, housed in a 40-foot ISO container, produce tens of thousands of gallons of clean water each day at a fraction of a cent per gallon. The Community Red Bird System-10 (CRB10) was specifically designed to be air mobile for government use and can also serve a community. Other systems are under development. These are high-tech solutions designed to function in low-tech environments.

The Red Bird is totally integrated and within hours of delivery will provide the pumping from the water source, filtration, and residual disinfection to meet U.S. and international standards. Delivering this volume of water at a below market cost using a combination of solar energy, purification technology, survivability, and sustainability in a setting with limited to non-existent infrastructure is unique.
 
In a traditional system, a combination of aeration, chemical addition, and conditioning is required prior to filtration. Similarly, in a membrane-type filter, preconditioning of the water is also required. While effective at producing clean water, these processes are energy-intensive, create a significant waste stream (sedimentation sludge), and are infrastructure-intensive. The Red Bird’s elimination of many of the process steps results in a more robust, sustainable system.
 
The patented Red Bird System was developed using modeling of natural geologic systems (Geo-mimicry) to develop a system that uses natural materials to produce clear, clean water that retains the minerals which give water its taste. This high-tech simplicity eliminates multiple steps in the traditional processes used to produce clean drinking water and, as a result, significantly reduces the energy and costs required to produce clean drinking water.
 
Suppliers/Manufacturers
 
Cardinal Resources outsources production of the Red Bird System and related products to a US based manufacturer. The manufacturer is qualified and has produced production units. The manufacturer does not have an exclusive agreement and in the future some systems may be assembled in other locations.
 
Cardinal Resources owns 2% of its lead manufacturer, Forest Edge Technologies, LLC based in Wooster Ohio. Forest Edge was formed by Chemviron, Inc. to focus on the production of Cardinal Resources systems and take advantage of the existing supply chain management system. Without expansion Forest Edge has the capacity to assemble 12 CRB-20 systems per month.
 
Cardinal Resources has a diverse supplier base with multiple suppliers available for key components and continues to expand its potential qualified supplier base. For those components with a limited supplier base, Cardinal Resources may develop exclusive agreements to ensure supply and continues to research effective substitutes.
 
 Dependence on a Few Major Customers
 
The majority of the contracted large multi-unit sales are to the State of Bayelsa Nigeria, the Republic of Cameroon, and Aqua Saludable (Panama). Services and individual unit sales make up a smaller portion of the revenue.
 
Cardinal Resources is aggressively pursuing the expansion of its market and customer base.
 
Market Size
 
The World Bank estimates (2009) that over $630 billion is being spent on water worldwide with a significant percentage in the emerging and developing world. McKinsey and Company estimate that $11.6 trillion is needed for water infrastructure worldwide by 2030.  Within this total spending, the largest initial markets for the Red Bird are Rural and Periurban Communities, within developing/emerging countries, entrepreneurs in emerging countries that are selling water to communities either through bottled water or delivery, capacity building/conflict recovery, and green developers. In the public sector there is significant funding for water available, with international development agencies committing over $250 billion across more than 1,000 active water projects that meet the Red Bird criteria (Development Finance International, 2009). While there are opportunities and funding around the world for our approach, Cardinal Resources initially focused on West Africa with opportunistic responses to other markets such as other countries in Africa, South America, India, and Southeast Asia. In 2014 we began to expand our marketing to Latin America and India.  While the public sector offers the best opportunity for large multi-unit orders, the private sector will also generate sales.
 
Sales, Marketing, and Distribution
 
Our marketing and sales strategies utilize a combination of traditional process marketing through print and various forms electronic media, grassroots efforts in emerging markets, and we will be increasing our marketing through social media. In emerging markets, regional demonstrations of the systems with groups of well-qualified buyers give the company an edge over the competition by exhibiting the quality of the Red Bird System as well as establishing our long term commitment. In addition, participation in international trade shows can be an effective tool in the water systems space. Finally, grassroots sales and marketing efforts combine regular Cardinal Resources staff presence with strong local partners and thorough competitive intelligence capabilities to augment our abilities to find and qualify new opportunities.
 
Ultimately we are marketing and selling clean water with a great taste in a combined system, service, and training model. By design, the Red Bird System retains most of the natural minerals that give water its taste and multiple studies have shown that retaining the local taste of most waters is crucial for success. We support the system operation through remote monitoring, service programs and training the local operators which also drives economic development through increased employment opportunities.

In addition, we must recognize the cultural and political importance of clean water; Developing good working relationships with the local water authorities, organizations and governments expands viral marketing of our distributed architecture approach as well as the associated benefits of our system.
 
The sales and marketing approach must also be adapted to local conditions that range from technical concerns to the exterior color of the system. For example, in many of the developing markets, while the internet is used extensively, there is also a certain distrust of marketing material printed direct from the web. Therefore we have to provide not only great web content, but also stand-alone printed material. Knowing the technical concerns, for example trends in the type of preferred source water or contaminants of interest we can better position our solution.
  
As a company with a history in providing custom systems and services we are also always looking for opportunities to expand our sales channels into sustainable waste water treatment opportunities, water recycling, and environment engineering and remediation.
 
In 2014 we signed Aqua Saludable as our only independent distributor of our integrated systems. At this stage in our expansion, it is key that the Company stay in control of distribution to ensure quality, and the appropriate application of our systems in water treatment. While some water treatment components are commodity items, our integrated systems still require highly trained sales-engineers to insure that the source water has been screened and the system is matched to the desired outcome. As we expand, we may accept additional highly qualified distribution partners.
 
Competition
 
While there are other packaged water treatment systems on the market, our greatest competition is the status quo and traditional infrastructure.  Our primary solar powered competitors (similar flow rates and size) in the market use either cartridge-based or membrane filtration and either ozone or UV oxidation for the final disinfection. As a result, these systems will incur much higher operation and maintenance costs and face significant supply chain challenges in infrastructure limited emerging markets.
 
Intellectual Property
 
Cardinal Resources currently holds multiple issued patents for the filtration technology and its use in the Red Bird System, specialty filters for arsenic removal, fluoride removal, general absorption and taste modification.  As cash flow and distribution channels grow, we intend to expand our technology platform through R&D to commercialize new wastewater, gray water, and brackish-water treatment systems we currently have under development.  We plan to develop new or upgraded water treatment systems, and will file for patents when prudent to protect IP and build shareholder value.
 
Trademarks and Trade Secrets
 
We rely on a combination of US and international patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We will also use technical measures, confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements to protect our proprietary rights. With improved cash flow and traction we will expand our international patent protection.
 
Employees
 
Cardinal currently has 6 full-time employees. Cardinal considers its employee relations to be good, and to date has not experienced a work stoppage due to a labor dispute. None of Cardinal’s employees are represented by a labor union.
  
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this offering that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
 
We are not profitable and may never be profitable.
 
Cardinal Resources’ ability to achieve profitability depends upon many factors, including its ability to execute on existing contracts and to continue to develop new markets and commercialize new products. There can be no assurance that Cardinal Resources will ever achieve any significant revenues or profitable operations. We have losses related to the development of our systems and the value of stock issued for services performed for the company.

Cardinal Resources has a limited operating history.
 
Cardinal Resources has been in existence for over 10 years and has made a transition from primarily a services based company to a systems based company. Our limited operating history as a systems company means that there is a high degree of uncertainty in our ability to: (i) develop and commercialize new products; (ii) achieve significant market acceptance of our products; or (iii) respond to competition;. Additionally, even if we do implement our business plan, we may not be successful. No assurances can be given as to exactly when, if at all, we will be able to recognize profits high enough to sustain our business. We face all the risks inherent in a business, including the expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with conducting operations, including capital requirements, which could result in a loss of your investment.
 
Need for Additional Capital.
 
Since our inception in 2004 and through December 2014, Cardinal Resources has incurred net accumulated losses of $7,079,010. As of December 31, 2014 we had a working capital deficit of $1,997,624. This is due in part to shares issued for services.  We may need additional capital to fund our continuing operations. Currently, we plan to raise additional capital, but we have no committed sources of additional capital and our access to capital funding is always uncertain. There is no assurance that additional equity or debt financing will be available to us when needed, on acceptable terms or even at all. In the event that we are not able to secure financing, we may have to scale back our development plans or cease operations.
 
Raising needed capital in the future may be difficult as a result of our limited operating history in systems.
 
When making investment decisions, investors typically look at a company’s historical performance in evaluating the risks and operations of the business and the business’s future prospects. Our limited operating history in systems makes such evaluation and an estimation of our future performance substantially more difficult. As a result, investors may be unwilling to invest in us or such investment may be on terms or conditions which are not acceptable. If we are unable to secure such additional finance, we may need to cease operations.
 
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY
 
We have a history of losses.
 
Cardinal Resources has a history of losses during the development and commercialization of its technology and the issuance of shares for services performed for the company. Management is unable to predict if and when we will be to generate positive cash flow. Our plan regarding these matters is to increase revenue in systems and services as well as raising additional debt and/or equity financing to allow us the ability to cover our current cash flow requirements and meet our obligations as they become due. There can be no assurances that financing will be available or if available, that such financing will be available under favorable terms. In the event that we are unable to generate adequate revenues to cover expenses and cannot obtain additional financing in the near future, we may seek protection under bankruptcy laws.
 
Our business currently depends on a limited number of customers.
 
Because we depend on a limited number of principal customers for a majority of our sales, a loss of one principal customer could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. Our three largest accounts represented approximately 98% of our sales for the year ended 2014.
 
Although we have multiyear contracts, and contracts backed by Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees, and Sovereign Guarantees, our business would be negatively affected by the failure of our principal customers to purchase our products on a consistent basis or to renew such contracts. If these principal customers cease ordering products from us, our business could be materially adversely affected
 
All of our manufacturing is outsourced.
 
Presently we do not have any manufacturing facilities and all our manufacturing is out-sourced to Forest Edge Technologies LLC. In the event that Forest Edge ceases their operations or stop manufacturing our products, obtaining an alternative supplier would adversely affect our business and financial condition. Additionally, should we be forced to manufacture our products, we cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to develop internal manufacturing capabilities. Suppliers, may require us to purchase a minimum amount of materials or could require other unfavorable terms. Any such event would materially impact our prospects. Moreover, we cannot give you any assurance that any contract manufacturers or suppliers that we select will be able to supply our products in a timely or cost effective manner or in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements or our specifications.

There is no guarantee that our business goals of expansion into global markets will be realized.
 
We are currently selling products in West Africa and Latin America. If we are unable to expand into new markets, we may fall short of our projections and our business and financial condition would be adversely affected.
 
Increases in the cost and restrictions on the availability of raw materials could adversely affect our financial results.
 
Our products include natural mineral media that has characteristics specific to the geologic setting of the mineral deposits. The availability or cost of such commodities may fluctuate due to government policy and regulation, or shortages due to mine interruption, depletion of the deposits, weather conditions, increased demand for the same minerals, or other unforeseen circumstances. To the extent that any of the foregoing or other unknown factors increase the prices of such commodities or materials and we are unable to increase our prices or adequately hedge against such changes in a manner that offsets such changes, the results of its operations could be materially and adversely affected. Similarly, if supplier arrangements and relationships result in increased and unforeseen expenses, our financial results could be materially and adversely impacted.
 
Disruption of our supply chain could adversely affect our business.
 
Damage or disruption of our manufacturing or distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire, terrorism, pandemic, strikes, the financial and/or operational instability of key suppliers, distributors, warehousing and transportation providers, or brokers, or other reasons could impair our ability to manufacture or sell our products. To the extent that we are unable to, or cannot financially mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, particularly when a product is sourced from a single location, there could be a materially adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and additional resources could be required to restore our supply chain.
 
Higher energy costs and other factors affecting the cost of producing, transporting, and distributing our products could adversely affect our financial results.
 
Fuel and energy costs may have a significant impact on the cost of operations, including the manufacture, transportation, and distribution of products. Fuel costs may fluctuate due to a number of factors outside of our control, including government policy and regulation and weather conditions. Additionally, we may be unable to maintain favorable arrangements with respect to the manufacturing costs of our products as a result of the rise in costs of procuring raw materials and transportation by our manufacturers. This may result in increased expenses and negatively affect operations.
 
Our results of operations can be significantly affected by the volatility in the prices of the materials and parts that we use to produce our products.
 
Our materials and parts costs are volatile and expose us to significant fluctuations in our product costs. Volatile raw materials and parts costs can significantly affect our operating results and make period−to−period comparisons extremely difficult. We may not be able to hedge our raw material requirements at a reasonable cost or to pass on to our customers the increased costs of our raw materials.
 
Compliance with environmental regulations can be expensive, and our failure to comply with these regulations may result in adverse publicity and a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations on air emission, waste water discharge, solid wastes and noise. Although we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with current environmental laws and regulations, we may not be able to comply with these regulations at all times. Therefore, if more stringent regulations are imposed in any jurisdiction in which we operate in the future, we will have to incur additional and potentially substantial costs and expenses to comply with new regulations, which may negatively affect our results of operations. If we fail to comply with any of the present or future environmental regulations in any material aspects, we may suffer from negative publicity and may be required to pay substantial fines, suspend or even cease operations.
 
Our failure to introduce new products and product enhancements and broad market acceptance of new technologies introduced by our competitors could adversely affect our business.
 
Many new water treatment technologies have been introduced over the past few years. Our ability to achieve significant and sustained penetration of key developing markets will depend upon our success in developing or acquiring state of the art technologies, either independently, through joint ventures or through acquisitions. If we fail to develop or acquire, and to manufacture and sell, products that satisfy our customers’ demands, or if we fail to respond effectively to our competitors, market acceptance of our products could be reduced and our business could be adversely affected.
 
 
5

 
  
Product branding is important to us and if our brands are misappropriated our reputation could be harmed which could result in lower sales having a negative impact on our financial results.
 
We rely upon a combination of trademark, licensing and contractual covenants to establish and protect the brand names of our products. We will be registering our trademark in multiple jurisdictions. In many market segments, our reputation is closely related to our brand names. Monitoring unauthorized use of our brand names is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent their unauthorized use, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights. Our brand names may be misappropriated or utilized without our consent and such actions may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and on the results of our operations.
 
We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.
 
Our success depends in large part upon the abilities and continued service of our executive officers and other key employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of such officers and employees. Our failure to retain the services of our key personnel could have a materially adverse effect on our business. To support our projected growth, we will be required to effectively recruit, hire, train and retain additional qualified management personnel. Our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a materially adverse effect on our business.
 
We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth, which would negatively impact our operations.
 
If our business and markets grow and develop it will be necessary for us to finance and manage expansion in an orderly fashion. We may face challenges in managing the expansion of our business and in integrating any acquired businesses with our own. Such eventualities will increase demands on our existing management, workforce and facilities. Failure to satisfy increased demands could interrupt or adversely affect our operations and cause administrative inefficiencies.
 
We may be unable to successfully execute our identified business opportunities or other business opportunities that we determine to pursue.
 
We currently have a limited corporate infrastructure. To pursue business opportunities, we will need to continue to build our infrastructure and operational capabilities. Our ability to do any of these successfully could be affected by any one or more of the following factors:
 
 
our ability to raise substantial amounts of additional capital if needed to fund the implementation of our business plan;
 
our ability to execute our business strategy;
 
the ability of our products to achieve market acceptance;
 
our ability to manage the expansion of our operations and any acquisitions we may make, which could result in increased costs, high employee turnover or damage to customer relationships;
 
our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and
 
our ability to manage our third party relationships effectively.
     
Our failure to adequately address any one or more of the above factors could have a significant impact on our ability to implement our business plan and our ability to pursue other opportunities that arise.
 
Inability to Maintain Quality Control
 
All of our manufacturing is outsourced. Although we have entered into supply agreements specifying certain minimum acceptable quality standards, there is no assurance that our current quality assurance procedures will be able to effective monitor compliance. Additionally, in the event that we expand our operations and increase our output volume, including securing additional manufacturers, there is no assurance that we will be able to adequately maintain quality controls.
 
Our products could be subject to product liability claims by customers and/or consumers, which would adversely affect our profit margins, results of operations and stockholder value.
 
If our products are not properly built and/or personal injuries are sustained as a result of our equipment, we could be subject to claims for damages based on theories of product liability and other legal theories. The costs and resources to defend such claims could be substantial and, if such claims are successful, we could be responsible for paying some or all of the damages. Also, our reputation could be adversely affected, regardless of whether such claims are successful. Any of these results would adversely affect our profit margins, results from operations and stockholder value.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
Inability to defend our intellectual property.
 
Our business could be adversely affected if we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property. Our current intellectual property consists of issued patents for our products, proprietary knowledge, pre-patent and patent pending technology. We may rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We will also use technical measures, confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements to protect our proprietary rights.
 
Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our services and brand.
 
Our business is based in part upon patentable technology and trade secrets that may not patentable. We may be unable to keep other companies from copying our technology, or we may be subject to legal actions alleging intellectual property infringement, unfair competition or similar claims against us. Companies may have intellectual property rights covering aspects of our technologies or businesses. Defending ourselves against intellectual property infringement or similar claims is expensive and diverts management’s attention.
  
RISKS RELATED TO THE STOCK
 
You will experience dilution of your ownership interest because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.
 
In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 325,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, with $0.001 par value per share, and 25,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with no par value.
 
We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our common stock are trading.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board is a more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq system. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long−term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.
 
Our common stock is considered a penny stock, which may be subject to restrictions on market ability, so you may not be able to sell your shares.
 
If our common stock becomes tradable in the secondary market, we will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the SEC that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
 
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.

Our executive officers and directors will continue to beneficially own a material amount of our outstanding Common Stock.
 
Our executive officers and directors beneficially own approximately 35.7% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2014, including approximately 25.3% of our outstanding shares that are beneficially owned by our chief executive officer, Kevin Jones.
 
We do not expect to pay dividends.
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. If the Company does not pay dividends, the Company’s common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if the Company’s stock price appreciates.
 
There has been a limited trading market for our Common Stock which may impair your ability to sell your shares.
 
It is anticipated that there will be a limited trading market for the Common Stock on the NASD’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. The lack of an active market will impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market will also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using Common Stock as consideration.
 
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our Common Stock.
 
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical un-discovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement.
 
Our largest stockholder, Kevin Jones, holds a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities and accordingly may make decisions regarding our daily operations, significant corporate transactions and other matters that other stockholders may believe are not in their best interests.
 
Mr. Kevin Jones, our CEO and sole director, is the beneficial owner of approximately 25.3% of our outstanding voting securities as of December 31, 2014. As a result, he possesses significant influence over the election of our Board of Directors and significant corporate transactions. His ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer. Other stockholders may believe that these future decisions made by Mr. Jones are not in their best interests.

In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking information. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above for certain information concerning those forward looking statements. Our financial statements are prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. References in this Report to a particular “fiscal” year are to our fiscal year ended on December 31.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The following management’s discussion and analysis is intended to provide additional information regarding the significant changes and trends which influenced our financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the year ended December 31, 2013.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes as set forth in this Report.
 
Overview
 
Cardinal Resources began operations in 2004, providing environmental engineering services, remediation, water and waste water treatment to US companies on a global basis. In 2005, we began development of proprietary technologies to create sustainable water and waste water systems to be produced by Cardinal Resources and operated globally. The prototype filters were deployed in 2007, first full prototype was built in 2008 and the first full system was built in 2009. We were issued our first patents for our technologies and applications in 2009 with subsequent patents issued in 2012.
 
During the time period when the Company was in the development of the Red Bird System and other sustainable technologies we continued to provide environmental services to our clients. As a result Cardinal Resources worked in over 20 countries including multimillion dollar projects in Australia, Brazil, Japan and China. As a result of our work we received recognition by U.S. Commercial Services as the Exporter of the Year in 2011 for Environmental and Congressional Export Achievement Awards.
 
In 2011, the Company made the decision to begin focusing on the transition to the systems based business. While we have continued to serve existing customers in our services area, we are projecting that the systems business will be dominant going forward.  This transition, particularly the delay in implementation of contracts in frontier markets, has had a significant impact on the Company.  For example, the Bayelsa Nigeria contract started strong at the beginning of 2014 but slowed significantly after the first quarter.  We are seeing that the work is increasing again related to this contract, but delays in implementation do impact our financials.  In 2014, the Company also issued common stock for services, which is a significant expense based on the stock value increased the net loss for the year.
 
While 2014 was a challenging year due to the slow implementation of key contracts we began our expansion into Latin America with a sale in Panama along with a 10 unit commitment for additional units.  We have a robust pipeline of opportunities in Latin America,  India and to a more limited extent in the US.  While our revenue, which is based on cost-to-cost Percentage of Completion is down significantly, our net Accounts Recieveable, which are largely backed by Bank Guarantees/Soveriegn Guarantees increased.
 
In 2015 we are aggressively pursuing the effiecient implementation of our existing projects, bringing in new sales of all sizes to increase revenue and closing on the nearest term opportunities.  While we will be opportunistic on expansion, our first focus will be on the contracts in hand.

Plan of Operations
 
Our Plan of Operations is focused on becoming the global preferred providers of sustainable water treatment systems using a distributed architecture. To meet this goal our plans call for the Company to expand our financial management, technical implementation staff, and market development. Part of our plan is to continue to expand our technologies, and approaches as well beginning with distributed waste water treatment. In terms of expansion our plan is to first have implementation well underway for our contracts in Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal, Latin America, and Panama. In 2015, we will move aggressively to expand and close on other opportunities in our pipeline and diversify into new geographic markets, such as India and Southeast Asia. We are planning to continue to outsource our manufacturing within the US. Depending on growth within a specific region, we may in the future, outsource a portion of the assembly overseas while retaining US manufacturing for key components, technology protection and producing the majority of the systems sold.
 
Revenues
 
We generate our net sales from the sale of environmental services and the patented Red Bird System. Revenue is recognized as work is performed for services. For systems we use a cost-to-cost percentage of completion method (POC).  This approach to revenue recognition may result in a difference in the amount invoiced and the revenue recognized on any given project at points in time.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Our cost of sales includes internal labor, supply chain management, logistics and the purchase of components that are part of the Red Bird System. As cost accounting is critical for revenue recognition as well as good management, we are making improvements in this area.
 
Other items contributing to our cost of sales are the direct assembly labor and manufactured overhead from our component suppliers.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit is affected by numerous factors, including our average selling prices, scheduling and our manufacturing costs. Another factor impacting gross profits is the ramp up of production going forward. As a result of the above, gross profits may vary from quarter to quarter and year to year.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs in addition to the cost of products, materials and outside services used in our process and product research and development activities.
 
Selling, General and Administrative
 
Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, professional fees, insurance costs, travel expense, other selling expenses as well as share based compensation expense relating to stock options. We expect these expenses to increase in the near term, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales, to support the growth of our business as we expand our sales and marketing efforts, particularly international travel, improve our information processes and systems and implement the financial reporting, compliance and other infrastructure required by a public company. Over time, we expect selling, general and administrative expense to decline as a percentage of net sales as our net sales increase.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, marketable securities valuation, derivative financial instrument valuation, end-of-life collection and recycling, contingencies and litigation and share based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Recent Developments and Current Contracts
 
In July 2013 the Company signed a contract and received the down payment for a contract with the State of Bayelsa Nigeria for $6.2 million to provide 10 Red Bird Systems and ancillary services. The contract is backed by a Bank Guarantee/Letter of Credit in the company’s favor. This contract has been slow in implementation, with production being balanced against payments.  In November 2013, the company signed a Commercial Export Contract with the Cameroon Water Corporation with a value of approximately $28.1 million to provide 35 systems, mobile laboratories, and ancillary products and services. Based on this contract the government of Cameroon has applied for credit through the U.S. Export Import Bank. This application is pending but moved forward throughout the year.  In December 2013 the Company signed a contract for $4.3 million with the Republic of Senegal to provide a solar powered waste water treatment system for the city of Touba.  In 2014 the Company signed an agreement and received payment for the first system in a 10-unit commitment through Aqua Saludable in Panama. See contract summary below for our main contracts/projects.  This list is not inclusive of all our billable work.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $(5,073,382) and $(709,876), respectively. The change in net loss between the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was primarily attributable to following significant events:
 
·  
Implementation of the Bayelsa Contract slowed throughout the course of 2014.  Completion is anticipated in 2015 with systems going on-line in the 2nd quarter.
·  
Implementation of the CAMWATER contract, beyond the completion of Environmental Assessments, moved to 2015.
·  
Operating Expenses related to stock issued for services, including stock related to the original merger, was a significant expense and created a larger loss.
 
Sales: Net sales for 2014 were $561,661, compared to $1,970,561 for 2013. Sales decreased due to the slow-down in the implementation of the Bayelsa Contract and lower sales of services.  Systems sales were also delayed as a major customer has worked through the final finance agreements. Revenue from the CAMWATER Contract was not recognized pending finalization of the project financing.
 
Gross Profit/loss: For 2014 our gross profit as a percentage of sales was negative compared to a percentage of sales of 28% for 2013 due to project costs that have not been, but will be invoiced or recognized as revenue.
 
Operating Expense: Operating expenses for 2014 was $4,093,084 as compared to $1,198,704 for 2013 which is due to the slowdown in implementation Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and a significant increase in expense was caused by the use of stock to pay for services provided to the company.
 
Other Income (Expense): Other expense for 2014 was $699,002 compared to $54,476 for 2013 due to interest expense and extinguishment of debt.

As of December 31, 2014, we had working capital of $(2,220,813) as compared to working capital of $(1,224,896) as of December 31, 2013, a change of $995,917.
 
Net cash used by operating activities increased in the period ending ending December 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the warrants issued for services and bad debt expense.
 
Net cash in all investing activities decreased in the period ending December 31, 2014 as we did not have the one time boost related to the sale of a vehicle that we completed in 2013 and limited purchases of new equipment.
 
Net cash provided in all financing activities was $627,078 at December 31, 2014 compared to $815,132 the previous year.
  
The Company requires additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future if it does not receive the anticipated additional funding, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes and lines of credit.   The Company anticipates that it will need approximately $3-5 million more in additional financing over the next twelve months to fully effectuate management’s growth plans and to sustain the Company’s existence. In addition to the debt and equity financing described above, the Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In that event, the Company would be required to change its growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, if at all.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
  
We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
 
 
13

 
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for bad debt, inventory obsolescence, the fair value of share-based payments.
 
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.
 
Revenue recognition
 
Revenues from fixed-price and cost-plus contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, whereby revenues on long-term contracts are recorded on the basis of the Company’s estimates of the percentage of completion of contracts based on the ratio of actual cost incurred to total estimated costs. This cost-to-cost method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contacts. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured on the cost-to-cost method.
 
Revenues from time-and-material and rate chart contracts are recognized currently as work is performed.
 
Revenues from maintenance service contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract once the Company has an agreement, service has begun, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assumed.
 
Cost of revenues include all direct material, sub-contractor, labor and certain other direct costs, as well as those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and fringe benefits. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to cost and income, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements, are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Claims for additional contract revenue are recognized when realization of the claim is probable and the amount can be reasonably determined.
 
The asset, “cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contract” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
 
Based on the slow down in payments from the Bayelsa contract we reduced our receivables and increased our Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by $471,613.
 
Advertising - Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred.  We have not paid for or participated in any electronic or direct mail promotion by any outside parties.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements:
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported during the year and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Jones, and our Chief Financial Officer, Kevin Jones, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and published financial statements.
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2014, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Based on and as a result of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have determined that as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. We plan on making on-going improvements, including making key hires and improvements in procedures throughout 2015.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
 
A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
 
Our management, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Kevin Jones, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, Mr. Jones determined that Management override of internal controls, as a potential risk and are implementing changes to remove this risk.  Management override of controls basically refers to the risk that without sufficient controls over financial reporting and segregation of duties there is the potential for management to override any controls that are currently in place.  We do not believe that these risks rise to the level of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies but are simply for our audit planning and process improvements for 2015.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our board of directors also believes that there is a high degree of transparency among the board of directors and company management.
 
Risk Management
 
Our board of directors oversees the risk management of our company and each of our subsidiaries. Our board of directors regularly reviews information provided by management in order for our board of directors to oversee the risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. Our board considers, as appropriate, risks among other factors in reviewing our strategy, business plan, budgets and major transactions.
 
Committees of Our Board of Directors
 
The Board of Directors has no nominating, or compensation committee, and does not have an “audit committee financial expert”. Our board of directors currently acts as our audit committee. There are no family relationships among the Board of Directors of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To the Board of Directors
Cardinal Resources, Inc.
East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cardinal Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 Cardinal Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related results of their operations and their 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 the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, The Company has suffered recurring loss from operations and has a working capital deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter also are described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the 2013 financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE – 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
 
Cardinal Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 29, 2010 with one wholly-owned subsidiary, Staged for Success LLC (“LLC”), a single member LLC under the laws of the State of California.
 
On November 22, 2013, the Company, Cardinal Resources LLC (“Cardinal”), a privately-held company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the members of Cardinal (the “Members”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding membership interests of Cardinal held by the Members for shares of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the membership interests of Cardinal are exchanged for 46,623,554 new shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
 
At the Closing, Jonathan Hopp, the former President and majority owner of the Company, submitted for cancellation 160,900,000 shares of common stock of the Company, leaving 36,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding before the Closing, and Members holding approximately 100% of the membership interests in Cardinal exchanged their interests for 46,623,554 shares of common stock of the Company, and as a result, after giving effect to such cancellation of shares and to the private offering of securities described below, Members of Cardinal held approximately 56.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at the Closing and assumed liabilities of $81,848 from the Company.
 
The transaction resulted in a change in control of the Company. The Company and Cardinal were hereby reorganized, such that the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Cardinal, and Cardinal Resources LLC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
 
The reorganization between the Company and Cardinal has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of the Company whereby Cardinal is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer).  The accompanying consolidated financial statements are in substance those of Cardinal, with the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, of the Company being included effective from the date of stock exchange transaction.  The Company is deemed to be a continuation of the business of Cardinal.  Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the following:
 
(1)         The balance sheet consists of the net assets of the accounting acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the accounting acquiree at historical cost; 
 
(2)         The financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the accounting acquirer for all periods presented as if the recapitalization had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented and the operations of the accounting acquiree from the date of stock exchange transaction.
 
Cardinal Resources, Inc., Staged for Success LLC and Cardinal Resources LLC are hereinafter referred to as (the “Company”).

These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivables, income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE – 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Accounts receivable
 
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the allowance for uncollectible accounts was $431,718 and $0, respectively.
 
Inventory
 
The Company’s inventory is comprised of machine components and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost of market with cost determined on the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had inventory of $43,199 and $14,137, respectively, all of which were raw materials.
 
Property, plant and equipment, net
 
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of 3-7 years from the date on which the asset became fully operational. Additions are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
The Company evaluated the recoverability of its property, plant, equipment, and other long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceed the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets or the business to which such intangible assets relate. No impairments of these types of assets were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The long-term borrowings approximate fair value since the related rates of interest approximate current market rates.

Embedded conversion features
 
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt and convertible preferred stock under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.
 
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
 
Revenues from fixed-price and cost-plus contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, whereby revenues on long-term contracts are recorded on the basis of the Company’s estimates of the percentage of completion of contracts based on the ratio of actual cost incurred to total estimated costs. This cost-to-cost method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contacts. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured on the cost-to-cost method.
 
Revenues from time-and-material and rate chart contracts are recognized currently as work is performed.
 
Revenues from maintenance service contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract once the Company has an agreement, service has begun, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assumed.
 
Cost of revenues include all direct material, sub-contractor, labor and certain other direct costs, as well as those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and fringe benefits. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to cost and income, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements, are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Claims for additional contract revenue are recognized when realization of the claim is probable and the amount can be reasonably determined.
 
The asset, “cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contract” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed, which was $0 and $0 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The liability, “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized, which was $46,148 and $4,417 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases 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.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. 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 the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions. The tax years from 2012 to 2014 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
 
Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
 
Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Convertible debentures and preferred stock conversions are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share. In addition, stock warrants totaling 5,422,133 shares are excluded as well, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease loss per share. Therefore no diluted loss per share figure is presented.

Related parties
 
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. The Company had accounts payable balances owed to related parties in amount of $66,467 and $62,528 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Material related party debt transactions have been identified in Note 5 to the financial statements.
 
Recently issued accounting standards
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standard Updates which are not effective until after December 31, 2014 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial position or results of operations.
    
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 205-40)”, which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a material effect on its disclosures.
 
NOTE – 3 RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
In 2014, the Company identified errors in total estimated cost of the long-term project commencing in 2013, which had impact on accounts receivable and revenues due to the percentage of completion method for revenues recognition, as a result, billings in excess of costs was understated and accounts receivable and revenues were overstated as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
In 2014, the Company identified errors in cutoff date of the invoices received related to cost of sales and SG&A. As a result, cost of sales was understated and accounts payable and SG&A were overstated as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE – 4 GOING CONCERN
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. However, as of December 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit. In addition, the Company currently has limited liquidity and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Management has taken certain actions and continues to implement changes designed to improve the Company’s consolidated financial results and operating cash flows. The actions involve certain cost-saving initiatives and growing strategies, including (a) utilization of outsourced build-to-order production; (b) expansion into new markets, (c) commercialization of patented products and; (c) significant reductions in lease costs. Management believes that these actions will enable the Company to improve future profitability and cash flow in its continuing operations through December 31, 2015.

(B)  
Convertible Notes Payable
 
 On November 22, 2013, the Company completed a private placement pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note to certain accredited investors, which notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share. In addition, the Company granted to the same investors’ three−year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 276,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share. As a result, the Notes were discounted in the amount of $86,368 due to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion option and relative fair value of the warrants. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the aggregate carrying value of the Notes was $230,000 and $152,989, respectively, net of debt discounts of $0 and $77,011, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded interest expense related to the Notes in amount of $1,744 and $16,100, respectively, and amortization of debt discount in amount of $77,011 and $9,357, respectively. The interest expense of $16,100 has been included under accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2014. The Notes were in default and due on demand as of December 31, 2014.
 
(C)  
Convertible Notes Payable – Derivative liabilities
 
On May 28, 2014, the Company issued a convertible promissory note of $58,000 with an original issue discount of $3,000 (the “Note”) to a third party. The Note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum and is due on March 2, 2015, pursuant to which the holder of the Note has an option to convert all or any portion of the accrued interest and unpaid principal balance of the Note into the common stock of the Company after 180 days upon commencement, at 58% of the Market Price, which means the average of the lowest three trading price during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date.
 
The Company has determined that the conversion feature of the Note represents an embedded derivative since the Note is convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Note is not considered to be conventional debt and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of this derivative instrument has been recorded as a liability on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the Note. Such discount will be accreted from the issuance date to the maturity date of the Note. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The fair value of the embedded derivative liability was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the issuance date with the assumptions in the table below.
 
On December 4, 2014, December 16, 2014 and December 23, 2014, the holder of the Note elected to convert a portion of the principal in amount of $10,000, $15,000, and $20,000, respectively, into 26,525, 64,655 and 107,759 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company revalued the embedded derivative liability at each conversion date and reclassified total derivative liability of $49,367 to addition paid in capital due to the partial conversion.
 
At December 31, 2014, the Company revalued the embedded derivative liability related to the balance of $13,000 with the assumptions in the table below. For the period from May 28, 2014 (commencement date) to December 31, 2014, the Company decreased the derivative liability of $81,820 by $51,517, of which $49,367 was due to the partial conversion of $45,000, resulting in a derivative liability of $15,668 at December 31, 2014.

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
As defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This Topic requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The statement requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
 
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are based on observable market data and are directly or indirectly observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. These include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, adjusted quoted market prices, inputs from observable data such as interest rate and yield curves, volatilities or default rates observable at commonly quoted intervals or inputs derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are unobservable or less observable from objective sources. Unobservable inputs should only be used to the extent observable inputs are not available. These inputs maintain the concept of an exit price from the perspective of a market participant and should reflect assumptions of other market participants. An entity should consider all market participant assumptions that are available without unreasonable cost and effort. These are given the lowest priority and are generally used in internally developed methodologies to generate management's best estimate of the fair value when no observable market data is available.
 
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
 
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Prepaid Expenses, Mining Rights, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
 
The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.
 
Derivatives
 
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

NOTE – 14 INCOME TAXES
 
At December 31, 2014, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7,000,000 that expire in 2034.
 
Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the periods ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.
 
The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2014 consists of a net operating loss calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $2,730,000, less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $2,730,000. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
