Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc.

(formerly known as Oak Ridge Energy Technologies, Inc.)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 – Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The information furnished in the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2014, financial statements, which accompanied its 10-K Annual Report filed with the SEC on May 8, 2015. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.


Note 2 – Revenue Recognition and Receivables


Revenue is only recognized on product sales once the product has been shipped to the customers, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.


The Company writes off trade receivables when deemed uncollectible.  The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aged receivable balances and historical losses.  The Company charges off uncollectible accounts when management determines there is no possibility of collecting the related receivable. The Company considers accounts receivable to be past due or delinquent based on contractual terms, which is generally net 30 days.


The Company charged $0 to bad debt expense for the period ended June 30, 2015. An analysis of the allowance for doubtful accounts balance at June 30, 2015, determined that no reserve was required.


Note 3 – Use of Estimates


The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under GAAP in the United States 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 may differ from those estimates.


Note 4 – Going Concern


The Company has accumulated losses since inception, has a working capital deficit and has not yet been able to generate profits from operations. Operating capital has been raised through convertible debt from a shareholder and subscriptions from a related party. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


The Company is presently building working samples for a wide range of energy storage products that are expected to result in commercial orders for a number of these products and for which additional funding will be required to manufacture and deliver any commercial orders received.


On April 11, 2014, Precept Asset Management Limited (“PAML”) provided a letter of support to us summarizing the past funding of Precept Fund Management SPC (“Precept”), for and on behalf of Prescient Fund Segregated Portfolio (“Prescient SP”) and Precept Fund Segregated Portfolio (“Precept Fund”), from July, 2013, to date (approximately $12,345,000), and expressing their continued support for the Company by Precept and Prescient SP and their intent to facilitate the provision of additional funding as reasonably requested by the Board through March 31, 2015.  This continuing support was again expressed in a letter of PAML on May 5, 2015.  Stephen J. Barber, the Company’s Executive Chairman, CEO, acting CFO and a director, is the 100% beneficial owner and a director of PAML, which is the investment manager of Precept, Prescient SP and



7




Precept Fund. As their investment manager, PAML has been delegated the authority to make investment decisions and vote interests held by Precept, including the shares of Oakridge owned by Prescient SP and Precept Fund.  Management believes the continued support from PAML alleviates the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


While PAML, as investment manager of Precept, plays an important role as advisor of Precept, the corporate governance mechanism put in place in the investment management agreement does not allow the investment manager to exercise control over Precept and the Oakridge shares held by Precept for or on behalf of Precept Fund and Prescient SP. The reason being that Prince Michael Foundation (“PMF”), through its indirect holding of all the management shares (voting, non-participating shares) of Precept, is, at any time, ultimately in control over Precept and the Oakridge shares held by Precept for and on behalf of Precept Fund and Prescient SP.


Note 5 – New Accounting Pronouncements


From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.  If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.


Note 6 – Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10-30.  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. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.


The tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The Company has examined the tax positions taken in its tax returns and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions. As a result, the Company has recorded no uncertain tax liabilities in its condensed balance sheet.


Income tax expense reflects the expense or benefit only on the Company’s domestic taxable income.  Income tax expense and benefit from the Company’s foreign operations are not recognized as they have been fully reserved.


Note 7 – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share


Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In the computation of diluted earnings per share, excess tax benefits that would be created upon the assumed vesting of unvested restricted shares or the assumed exercise of stock options (i.e., hypothetical excess tax benefits) are included in the assumed proceeds component of the treasury stock method to the extent that such excess tax benefits are more likely than not to be realized. When a loss from continuing operations exists, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. As the Company had losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, the potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive and were thus not included in the net loss per share calculation.


Note 8 – Common Stock


The Company accepted subscriptions to purchase 940,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $235,000 or $0.25 per share, on April 1, 2015. (Precept for and on behalf of Prescient SP, a related party, purchased 540,000 of these shares).


The Company accepted subscriptions to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $200,000 or $0.25 per share, on April 8, 2015.




8




The Company received a subscription to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $50,000 or $0.25 per share, on April 17, 2015.  


The Company received a subscription to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $75,000 or $0.25 per share, on April 30, 2015.  


On May 22, 2015, the Company executed a Stock Option Agreement granting an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.25 per share for services rendered.  These options expire on November 30, 2015.


The Company accepted subscriptions to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $250,000 or $0.25 per share, on May 26, 2015.


The Company accepted subscriptions to purchase 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $300,000 or $0.25 per share, on May 28, 2015.


On June 3, 2015, the Company resolved to issue an aggregate total of 11,025,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation to management and counsel for services rendered (members of management receiving shares were: Stephen J. Barber, the Company’s Executive Chairman and CEO and a director, 5,000,000 shares; Mark L. Meriwether, the Company’s Vice President and Secretary and a director, 2,500,000 shares; Larry Lee Arrowood, the Company’s President, 2,500,000 shares; and Sean C. Kruuv, the former CFO of the Company, 25,000 shares).    The shares issued were valued at $.035 or the closing market price of the Company's shares on the OTCBB on June 3, 2015.


On June 3, 2015, the Company executed a Stock Option Agreement granting an option to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share for services rendered.  These options are for a three year term and expire on June 30, 2018.


On June 1, 2015, outstanding options were exercised to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the $0.25 per share price, for a total purchase price of $50,000.


On June 10, 2015, the Company executed a Stock Option Agreement granting an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share for services rendered.  These options are for a three year term and expire on June 30, 2018.


On June 10, 2015, the Company executed another Stock Option Agreement granting an option to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share for services rendered.  These options are also for a three year term and expire on June 30, 2018.


On June 22, 2015, the Company executed an additional Stock Option Agreement granting an option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share for services rendered.  These options are also for a three year term and expire on June 30, 2018.


All of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued or those shares of common stock underlying stock options granted were (or will be exercisable for) shares of common stock that are “restricted securities” as defined in SEC Rule 144.


Note 9 -- Related Party Convertible Debt and Other Transactions


Related party convertible debt


The Company borrowed $2 million to finance business operations from Newmark Investment Limited, a Hong Kong organized company (“Newmark”), a former principal shareholder of the Company and the former owner of Carbon Strategic,  the Company’s inactive wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Newmark Loan”).  The terms of the notes included interest at 6% per annum; interest to be paid quarterly on the principal then outstanding; the initial term of the loan was 12 months from the date of first advance or November 2, 2012; the loan could be extended for another 12 months with a maximum period of 24 months from the date of first advance; the total loan or part of the loan could be converted to fully paid shares of common stock of the Company at Newmark’s request at the end of loan period; and shares issued on conversion would be issued at a 50% discount of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock of the Company on the OTCBB or the principal nationally recognized U.S. market on which such shares of common stock publicly traded, for the 50 day VWAP prior to any



9




such conversion, provided however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum conversion price shall not be less than USD$0.20 per share, which was the approximate current trading price of such common stock on the date of the initial advance by Newmark.  Any shares acquired in conversion of the notes would be comprised of “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 of the SEC.  The loan was extended and subsequently assigned to Expedia Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong organized company (“Expedia”).  The Company had also agreed to grant a lien to Newmark on all of the Company’s equipment and intellectual property to secure payment of the loan and accrued interest, which lien was approved on March 31, 2014, under an amended Loan Agreement dated February 24, 2014, reflecting the assignment of the Newmark Loan and the granting of the security interests to Expedia.  Expedia is a founder and the sole owner of Newmark and assignee of Newmark Loan, which is currently referenced as the “Expedia Loan.”  The loan maturity date has been extended by Expedia to August 31, 2015.  Accrued interest payable on the convertible notes comprising the loan was $129,935 at June 30, 2015, and is included in accounts payable and accruals as of June 30, 2015.  


Related party advances


(a) The Company entered into a Convertible Loan and Investment Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Leclanché S. A., a Swiss share company (“Leclanché”), dated as of May 30, 2014, and amended on August 2, 2014, and authorized to be funded by the Company’s Board of Directors by unanimous written consent, effective on August 5, 2014. The initial Loan Agreement provided for the Company to loan Leclanché CHF3,000,000 or approximately $3,355,000, while the amended Loan Agreement increased the amount to CHF5,000,000 or approximately $5,489,895.  All funds were payable in Swiss Francs; interest accrued on the unpaid balance at the rate of two percent per annum; amounts advanced and accrued interest were payable at maturity of the loan or June 30, 2016; and principal, accrued interest and related fees could converted by the Company to purchase shares of Leclanché at CHF1.50.  Precept, our majority shareholder, was then a majority shareholder of Leclanché.


On June 19, 2014, Precept for and on behalf of Prescient SP, advanced Leclanché CHF3,000,000 or approximately $3,355,000, in anticipation of completing a Subscription Agreement on completion of the Loan Agreement, to purchase approximately 16,775,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, comprised of “restricted securities” as defined in SEC Rule 144, at $0.20 per share, in consideration of such advance of funds. The Subscription Agreement was completed and accepted by the Company on August 20, 2015, and the Company received all documents respecting the security pledged by Leclanché to secure the advances under the Loan Agreement.  The advances under the Loan Agreement were secured by Leclanché’s then present and future receivables; claims from inter-group loans and bank account claims in accordance with the Re-Assignment and Security Assignment Agreement (the “Security Agreement”); all patent and trademark applications; a first ranking lien on 100% of the shares of Leclanché’s Subsidiary (Leclanché Gmbh), with the understanding that Leclanché would ensure that the Subsidiary would transfer all of its present and future assets in accordance with the Security Agreement (as provided in the Share Pledge Agreement executed by the parties); and although it was agreed that with respect to all other Additional Security (as defined in the Security Agreement) that Precept and the Company would participate in such Additional Security on a pro rata basis relative to Precept’s CHF17,000,000 loan to Leclanché and the Company’s CHF5,000,000 loan to Leclanché, or the respective amounts outstanding on such loans at any particular time, Precept had converted all of its CHF17,000,000 loan into equity in Leclanché as at June 30, 2014, so there was no outstanding loan balance owed by Leclanché to Precept, and the Company was then the only secured creditor of Leclanché.  This provision was in the initial Loan Agreement; and the only material change in the Loan Agreement as amended on August 2, 2014, and finalized and approved on August 5, 2014, related to the increase in the loan amount to be made to Leclanché from CHF3,000,000 to CHF5,000,000.


On August 6, 2014, the Company wired CHF1,600,000, or $1,780,480 to Leclanché under the Loan Agreement; and the balance of CHF400,000 was drawn down by Leclanché on September 11, 2014, which completed the Company’s loan commitment under the Loan Agreement.


On December 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement (the “Leclanché Restructuring Agreement”) involving a restructuring of Leclanché, and a Loan and Security Transfer Agreement (the “Leclanché Loan Transfer Agreement”), whereby the Company agreed to transfer its Loan Agreement and related security agreements with Leclanché dated May 30, 2014, and as amended on August 2, 2014 (effective August 5, 2014), to Recharge ApS, a Danish private limited company (“Recharge”). The closing of these agreements was subject to a binding Letter of Intent for the Company to acquire 11,000,000 shares of Leclanché from Precept, which shares are held by Precept, for and on behalf of Precept Fund and Prescient SP, which was executed and delivered by the parties on December 5, 2014.  


On February 2, 2015, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire the 11,000,000 shares of Leclanché from Precept, which shares are held by Precept, for and on behalf of Precept Fund and Prescient SP, in consideration of the



10




Company’s execution of the Leclanché Restructuring Agreement, the Leclanché Loan Transfer Agreement and the issuance of 78,763,500 additional shares of the Company’s common stock, which will be comprised of “restricted securities” as defined in SEC Rule 144.  The number of shares of this issuance was computed by multiplying the CFH5,000,000 (the amount of the loan to Leclanché) by the referenced closing CHF exchange rate at the agreed date of December 4, 2014, of 1.0301, which equalled a credit of US$5,150,500; deducting this amount from the Purchase Price (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) of the 11,000,000 Leclanché shares multiplied by the referenced US$4.12 per share price of Leclanché shares, which equalled $45,320,000, leaving a balance of $40,169,500; and dividing the closing price of the agreed upon common stock price of the Company of US$0.51 on December 4, 2014, resulting in a quotient of 78,763,725 shares being required to be issued by the Company in payment of the balance of the Purchase Price of the 11,000,000 Leclanché shares.  This Stock Purchase Agreement has been approved by the Swiss Takeover Board (“TOB”), and the purchase of the Leclanché shares was completed, effective June 30, 2015.  


(b) Silveron Capital Partners, which is owned by one of the Company’s former directors, loaned the Company $68,642 during the year ended December 31, 2014, and incurred travel expenses and provided consulting of $61,716 during this period.  The balance of these sums is due on demand and bears interest at 10%.  The loaned funds were used for payment of current expenses due at the time of the advance.  The total amount due as of June 30, 2015, is $145,930 which includes $15,572 of accrued interest.


Note 10 – Lease Commitment


The Company entered into a Lease Agreement on March 26, 2015, with Henderson Sarno, L.C., a Florida limited liability company (“Henderson Sarno”), whereby it leased certain land and a building comprising approximately 50,492 square feet situated on such land.  On installation of the battery manufacturing equipment the Company acquired from Bren-Tronics, Inc., a New York corporation (“Bren-Tronics”), on October 20, 2014, these leased premises will become the Company’s large format battery manufacturing facility, producing battery products for electric vehicles, golf carts and electric task oriented vehicles.  This lease commenced April 1, 2015, for a period of 63 months.  The future minimum rental commitment under this lease is as follows:

Plan of Operation


Our Plan of Operation for 2015 consists of the following objectives:


(1) Continue our sales and marketing of our commercial golf car batteries by establishing a distribution network;


(2) Continue our sales and marketing of our commercial Radio Controlled Unmanned Vehicle batteries by establishing a distribution network;


(3) Continue the business development and sales and marketing efforts to secure battery system supply arrangements in the product areas of electric fleet vehicles, back-up power opportunities and military, marine and industrial applications;


 (4) Deploy both technical and business resources to support Precept for and on behalf of Prescient SP in planned merger and acquisition activities in all the various sectors relevant to our business strategy;


 (5) Complete our manufacturing facility in Melbourne, Florida, that will have the ability to manufacture six megawatt hours of products annually, once the equipment purchased under the Bren-Tronics Agreement in fourth quarter 2014 is fully installed and commissioned during second quarter 2015 in the approximately 68,718 square feet of leased space; and


(6)  Arrange for the private sale of our Leclanché shares to monetize that purchase and to assist in the funding of the our expansion plans for 2015 and beyond. 


Management believes we now have a range of commercially saleable products (large format golf car batteries and small format remote control (“R/C”) market batteries), which we can now produce in commercially viable quantities from our North Drive small format facility and our Sarno Road large format facility.  Due to our focus on developing and marketing these commercial products for which there is a substantial market, coupled with our direct marketing success in the golf and R/C industries (including the PGA show we attended in January, 2015, where we successfully launched our new range of golf car batteries), we now have a growing order book, which we are gearing up production to fill, and as a result, we expect to be



14




producing our first significant revenues during the last half of 2015, and expect to be cash-flow positive by the end of 2015. We are also presently building working samples for a wide range of energy storage products that are expected to result in commercial orders for a number of these products and for which additional funding will be required to manufacture and deliver any commercial orders received.


Results of Operations


For the three month period ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2014


During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had $1,110 in revenue, with $736 in cost of sales, for $374 in gross profit.  We had general and administrative expenses of $10,408,974 and $5,091 in research and development.  These charges consisted of rent, utilities, travel expenses, legal and professional charges and other miscellaneous charges related to general business operations.  Our total operating expenses were $10,413,691.  We had interest expense of $29,918 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, for a net loss of $10,443,609, and a total comprehensive loss of $10,443,609. The decrease in research and development costs in 2015 as compared to 2014 was a direct result of a reduction of employees, and the fact that we had completed the major portion of the research and development on our current products.  Our current employees duties are presently divided approximately 50% to production personnel and 50% to research and development and overhead personnel.


During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we had $52,200 in revenues, with $28,736 in cost of sales, for $23,464 in gross profit.  We had $637,764 attributable to general and administrative expenses, $492,907 in research and development costs and $29,918 in interest expense, for a net loss of $1,137,125, with $27,500 in foreign currency translation for a total comprehensive loss of $1,109,625.


The increase in general and administrative expenses costs during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, was a result of the issuance of stock options with a combined price of $4,429,250 for services, the issuance of stock to employees and for services with a combined price of $3,748,500, for wages and benefits due to our growth, and marketing expense, to launch our products.


For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2014


During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had $1,110 in revenue, with $736 in cost of sales, for $374 in gross profit.  We had general and administrative expenses of $11,193,417 and $20,895 in research and development.  These charges consisted of rent, utilities, travel expenses, legal and professional charges and other miscellaneous charges related to general business operations.  Our total operating expenses were $11,214,312.  We had interest expense of $59,507 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, for a net loss of $11,273,445, with $93,435 in foreign currency translation for a total comprehensive loss of $11,180,010.  The decrease in research and development costs in 2015 as compared to 2014 was a direct result of a reduction of employees, and the fact that we had completed the major portion of the research and development on our current products.  Our current employees duties are presently divided approximately 50% to production personnel and 50% to research and development and overhead personnel.


During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we had $52,200 in revenues, with $28,736 in cost of sales, for $23,464 in gross profit. We had $1,285,036 attributable to general and administrative expenses, $899,184 in research and development costs and $59,507 in interest expense, for a net loss of $2,220,263, with $27,500 in foreign currency translation for a total comprehensive loss of $2,192,763.


The increase in general and administrative expenses costs during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, was a result of the issuance of stock options with a combined price of $4,429,250 for services, the issuance of stock to employees and for services with a combinede price of $3,748,500, for wages and benefits due to our growth, and marketing expense, to launch our products.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We incurred a net loss of $11,180,010 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  We had no cash on hand.  At June 30, 2015, there was a principal balance of $2,000,000 on the Expedia Loan, together with accrued interest of $129,935 at June 30, 2015.  The Expedia Loan is due and payable on August 31, 2015.


Until we reach breakeven from our manufacturing and sales efforts, which are currently in ramp up mode, we are dependent on equity financing from external sources that have been arranged for us by our major shareholder, Precept, which has undertaken



15




to continue to support us financially, either directly or indirectly, through fund raising efforts for us from Precept’s contact base in the investment community. Our primary source of funding since July, 2013, has been Precept, as our major shareholder.  Its ownership and control of approximately 84.8% of our outstanding voting securities, including the 7,250,000 shares owned by Stephen J. Barber, our Executive Chairman, CEO, acting CFO and a director who is also through his wholly owned management company, PAML, the investment manager of Precept, may deter others from funding our operations; and Precept’s ability to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors may limit our negotiating position on the terms of any such alternative funding.


While PAML, as investment manager of Precept, plays an important role as advisor of Precept, the corporate governance mechanism put in place in the investment management agreement does not allow the investment manager to exercise control over Precept and the Oakridge shares held by Precept for or on behalf of Precept Fund and Prescient SP. The reason being that Prince Michael Foundation (“PMF”), through its indirect holding of all the management shares (voting, non-participating shares) of Precept, is, at any time, ultimately in control over Precept and the Oakridge shares held by Precept for and on behalf of Precept Fund and Prescient SP.


The total Newmark Loan was, as part of the Settlement Agreement executed on December 24, 2013, assigned to Expedia, and is now the Expedia Loan.  Expedia is the owner of a non-voting interest in one of Precept’s funds (Prescient SP), and Expedia has, at our request, previously extended the Expedia Loan in order to facilitate our operations. All or any part of this loan can be converted to fully paid shares of our common stock at Expedia’s request; and our shares issued on conversion will be issued at a 50% discount of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our common stock on the OTCBB or the principal nationally recognized U.S. market on which such shares of common stock publicly trade, for the 50 day VWAP prior to any such conversion, provided however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum conversion price shall not be less than $0.20 per share, which was the approximate trading price of our common stock on the OTCBB at the time of the first advance to us by Newmark, under what was then the Newmark Loan, in November, 2012.  This conversion right is in the discretion of Expedia, and can only be made at the end of the loan term, which is now June 30, 2015.  There is no assurance that Expedia will convert the Expedia Loan into shares of our common stock or grant us further extensions of payment of principal and accrued interest.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Under supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation 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).  This evaluation identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 


We are actively engaged in developing a remediation plan designed to address this material weakness. If material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, our financial statements may contain material misstatements, and we could be required to restate our financial results. The remediation efforts expected to be implemented include the following:


• Simplifying and consolidation of our accounting systems;

• Hiring of additional staff;

• Segregation and defining duties so no one person has control over the entire process;

• Enhancing our training program for accounting personnel;



16




• Providing online, real-time access to accounting personnel across our various locations;

• Establishing more comprehensive review procedures; and

• Implementing procedures to improve the reconciliation of accounts in a timely matter. 


Management has developed a detailed plan and timetable for the implementation of the remediation efforts and will monitor the implementation. In addition, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Company’s internal control environment. Management believes these efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness. As the Company continues to evaluate and work to improve our internal control, management may take additional measures to address deficiencies. 


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting; however, we have engaged an in-house certified public accountant to address certain weaknesses management has recognized in our internal controls and procedures.

The reason being that Prince Michael Foundation (“PMF”), through its indirect holding of all the management shares (voting, non-participating shares) of Precept, is, at any time, ultimately in control over Precept and the Oakridge shares held by Precept for and on behalf of Precept Fund and Prescient SP.

On June 30, 2015, we announced that we formed Oakridge Global Energy Solutions Limited, Hong Kong, as a new wholly-owned subsidiary as part of our global growth strategy.

(v)

We were advised on June 30, 2015, that all requirements of the Swiss TOB had to the closing of the purchase of the 11,000,000 Leclanché shares had been satisfied and we closed the purchase under the Stock Purchase Agreement by the issuance of 78,763,725 of our shares of common stock in exchange for the 11,000,000 shares of Leclanché being issued to our newly formed and wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, Oakridge Global Energy Solutions (Hong Kong) Limited.  With this acquisition, we will own 11,000,000 shares of Leclanché or approximately 34% of its outstanding shares.  With the issuance of the 78,763,500 shares to Precept, we now have 269,996,957 outstanding shares of our common stock, and based upon the current collective ownership of approximately 221,717,613 of our shares by Prescient SP and Precept Fund, Precept is the beneficial owner of approximately 82.1% of our currently outstanding voting securities.  See the references above in Part II, Item 2, for information about the holdings and voting authority of these shares by our Executive Chairman, CEO and a director, Stephen J. Barber, who is the sole owner of PAML, the investment manager for Precept.  Further, the 5,750,000 shares personally owned by Mr. Barber in the Company are not included in these computations.  With Mr. Barber’s shares, the percentage of control by Precept increases to approximately 84.8%.  


(vi)

At June 30, 2015, Expedia Holdings Limited (“Expedia”), one of our creditors, was owed a principal balance of $2,000,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $129,935 to such date, on our loan from Newmark Investments Limited (the “Newmark Loan”).  The first advance under the Newmark Loan was made in November, 2012.  Expedia is a founder, the beneficial owner and is the successor of Newmark, by assignment of the Newmark Loan on January 16, 2014, and under an amended Loan Agreement between the Company and Expedia dated February 24, 2014, together with related security agreements.  The due date of the principal and interest under the Loan Agreement had been extended to June 30, 2015, and the parties have agreed to extend such Loan Agreement due date to August 31, 2015, effective June 30, 2015.

(ix)

On or about July 20, 2015, our former inactive and wholly-owned subsidiary, Carbon Strategic, was dissolved.  Carbon Strategic had no assets at June 30, 2015, and at its dissolution.


(x)

On July 25, 2015, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Benchmark Advisory Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Benchmark”), which Consulting Agreement was adopted by our Board of Directors, effective July 30, 2015, whereby Benchmark agreed to provide financial consulting services and advice to the Company regarding various matters, including, but not limited to, introductions to various firms or entities that may be able to provide equity or debt



20




financing for the Company; and introductions and advice about facilitation with legal counsel, auditors, accountants, transfer agents and investor relations firms.  The Consulting Agreement is for a term of six (6) months, and provides for $10,000 per month in cash compensation and the issuance of 100,000 shares of our common stock, which are comprised of “restricted securities” as defined in SEC Rule 144, all fully-paid and non-assessable on the date of the Consulting Agreement.


(xi)

On July 25, 2015, our Board of Directors has concluded that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to explore the options available to the Company to privately sell our interest in Leclanché S. A., (“Leclanché”), to monetize those shares for cash in order to assist with our expansion plans. We completed the purchase of 11,000,000 shares of Leclanché on June 30, 2015.  For additional information about this purchase, please see our 8-KA-2 Current Report dated December 5, 2014, and filed with the SEC on July 2, 2015, which are referenced in Part II, Item 6, below.  On July 25, 2015, our Board of Directors resolved to retain Precept Asset Management Limited (“PAML”) to explore the potential for, and to arrange the sale, on our behalf., of such 11,000,000 Leclanché shares through PAML’s contact network, in consideration of which, we have resolved to pay PAML a success fee on completion of any such sale equal to 3.5% of the gross sales proceeds received by us in respect of such sale.  We have no written agreement with regards to this understanding.  PAML is 100% owned by Stephen J. Barber, our CEO, who is our Executive Chairman and one of our directors, and is also the investment manager of Precept Fund Management SPC (“Precept”), which previously held these Leclanché shares for and on behalf of Precept Fund Segregated Portfolio (“Precept Fund”), one of its managed portfolios.  Prescient Fund Segregated Portfolio (“Prescient SP”) is also a managed portfolio of Precept.  Precept, Precept Fund and Prescient SP, together with Mr. Barber, collectively owned approximately 228,967,613 of the 269,996,957 outstanding shares of the Company as of July 31, 2015, or approximately 84% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company on such date.  7,250,000 of these 228,967,613 shares, or approximately 2.68%, are directly owned by Mr. Barber.  While PAML, as investment manager of Precept, plays an important role as advisor of Precept, the corporate governance mechanism put in place in the investment management agreement does not allow the investment manager to exercise control over Precept and the Oakridge shares held by Precept for or on behalf of Precept Fund and Prescient SP. The reason being that Prince Michael Foundation (“PMF”), through its indirect holding of all the management shares (voting, non-participating shares) of Precept, is, at any time, ultimately in control over Precept and the Oakridge shares held by Precept for and on behalf of Precept Fund and Prescient SP.


(xii)

On July 28, 2015, we entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with Tower Palm Bay, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TPB”), whereby we leased approximately 68,718 square feet of space located at 3520 Dixie Highway, Palm Bay, Florida, that will house our new principal executive offices and our small format battery manufacturing facilities.  The Lease has a term of 15 years and four months, commencing on August 1, 2015; an annual “Base Rent” of approximately $549,744 during the first year (with no monthly payments being due during the second, fourth, sixth and eighth month), and increasing incrementally, year to year, to approximately $856,483.24 during the last year of the Lease term; a security deposit of $91,624; provisions regarding the use of “Adjacent Land” for testing of products and a right of first refusal to purchase, lease or option such Adjacent Land; a 10 year option renewal of the Lease at “fair market value”; additional rent for the proportionate share of the expense for the operation, maintenance and repair of the common areas, the “Building,” the Adjacent Land and the “Property” (as such terms are defined in the Lease), along with customary provisions that would be contained in similar leases.  The Lease is essentially a “Triple Net Lease,” meaning that the parties agree that this Lease is intended to be, and shall be construed as, an absolutely net lease, whereby under all circumstances and conditions (whether now or hereafter existing or within the contemplation of the parties), Base Rent shall be a complete net return to TRB the Lease term, and we shall pay, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless TRB from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, costs, liabilities, obligations and charges whatsoever.


(xiii)

On July 31, 2015, we filed an Application for listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Markets.  No assurance can be given that we will ultimately satisfy the conditions of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC for such listing.  We also adopted Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Charters, subject to becoming listed on the Nasdaq Capital Markets.


(xiv)

This Quarterly Report is being filed without an audit review because we are in the process of appointing new auditors; as soon as the new auditors have been engaged, which is expected shortly, this Quarterly Report will be reviewed by them and an amendment to this Quarterly Report will be filed at that time to reflect the incorporation of the auditors’ review hereof.
