PART I

 

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

 

Corporate Background

 

We were organized as a corporation in the state of Florida on November 13, 2007 under the name “Pashminadepot.com, Inc.”  Until May 31, 2009, we were focused on the business of developing a website to sell pashmina and other accessories.  Due to the state of the economy, we conducted virtually no business other than organizational matters, filing our registration statement and filing periodic reports with the SEC.  We abandoned this business plan and sought an operating company with which to merge or to acquire.

 

On September 10, 2009, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with SwissINSO SA, a Swiss company (“SwissINSO”), and its shareholders pursuant to which we agreed to purchase all of the shares of SwissINSO.  The transaction was consummated on October 19, 2009, and SwissINSO became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant and the shareholders of SwissINSO received in exchange for their shares an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, or 65.62% of the then issued and outstanding share capital of the Registrant.  At the same time, the Registrant issued 1,097,145 shares of its common stock to the principal shareholder of SwissINSO, Michel Gruering, upon conversion of his existing shareholder loan to SwissINSO SA.  Reference is hereby made to the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 15, 2009 and October 22, 2009 for further information regarding the acquisition of SwissINSO.

 

On October 28, 2009, we changed our state of incorporation from Florida to Delaware by the merger of Pashminadepot.com, Inc. with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary, SwissINSO Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation, which we had formed for such purpose.  In connection with such merger, our company’s name changed from “Pashminadepot.com, Inc.” to “SwissINSO Holding Inc.”  Each issued share of the common stock of Pashminadepot.com, Inc. from and after the effective time of such merger was converted into one share of the common stock of SwissINSO Holding Inc.  Reference is hereby made to the definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the SEC on October 7, 2009 for further information regarding the change in our state of incorporation and company name.

 

Prior to the acquisition of SwissINSO, we were in the development stage and had no revenues or business operations.   Following the acquisition of SwissINSO, the Registrant’s business became exclusively the business of SwissINSO described below.

 

Business of SwissINSO

 

General

 

SwissINSO was incorporated in Switzerland on May 30, 2006.  In conjunction with the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (“LESO-PB”) of the Swiss Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne, Switzerland (“EPFL”), SwissINSO targets, develops and commercializes breakthrough renewable energy green technologies exiting the LESO-PB development pipeline.

 

SwissINSO utilizes its intellectual property assets to provide aesthetic and efficient solar energy solutions and products to the renewable energy market.

 

SwissINSO’s goal is to become a world leader in the development of leading-edge technologies and products in the renewable energy sector that address the global energy shortage through products that are aesthetic and efficient with a specific focus on solar technology innovations in the areas of solar production of electricity (PV) and thermal energy for heating or cooling.

 

Since its inception and prior to 2014, SwissINSO has devoted substantially all of its efforts to raising capital, research and development, market research, securing technology rights.

 

In connection with its joint venture with Emirates Insolaire for the development and application of new solar technologies and products, SwissINSO moved ahead in 2014 to leverage the production facilities of the joint venture to scale up the production of its Kromatix™ colored glass; to validate its supply chain and to commence product certification in several potential markets with a full scale product launch in the last quarter of 2015.

Technology Refocus

 

Prior to 2012, the Company’s focus was on the development of products in two distinctly separate markets and industries – water purification with its Krystall™ solar powered water purification units and energy control of buildings with its Klymaa™ (now Kromatix™) nanotechnology glass coating process.

 

In 2012, the Company recognized the challenges and confusion associated with trying to develop and sell two distinctly different products and the drain on resources and took the decision to discontinue actively promoting Kyrstall™ and to exit the water purification business.

 

This decision freed up management to focus solely on its core business line of Kromatix™.

 

The development of interferential layers technology is now finished and in the process of commercialization.  In addition, the Company continues to work closely with the LESO-PB in the development of several new products which the company expects to exit the development phase in 2016.

 

Technology and Products

 

The product which has already exited the development pipeline and is industrialized is a nanotechnology glass coating and other process (Kromatix™) that enables the production of glass in a multiple of spectacular colors for use in the production of solar panels and roof tiles (crystalline or thin film photovoltaic modules and solar thermal collectors).

 

By replacing the transparent glass used in solar panel and tile production with Kromatix, an opaque colored glass, the technical parts of the solar devices (cells and electrical connections of PV panels or tubing and corrugation sheets of thermal panels) are masked.  The end result are stunning panels and tiles with no discernible efficiency loss.  Due to the aesthetic nature of these panels, architects and property developers (commercial and industrial) are now able and willing to install these panels on building facades or the complete area of a roof, as opposed to installing only a limited number of panels on roofs or hiding them in other non-conspicuous areas.

 

Apart from the aesthetic attributes resulting from the use of Kromatix, there is also a significant economic benefit. Since these panels can now be used on the entire facades of buildings because their aesthetic appearance means they no longer need to be hidden, the surface area covered by the installation is thus significantly enlarged.  This enables a greater amount of the sun’s energy to be captured and transformed into heat, cooling or power generation.  This attribute provides a faster return on investment for clients.

 

In addition, many countries and authorities refuse to grant the installation of existing solar panels and tiles on buildings due to conservation and aesthetics issues.  Providing panels that can blend in with the surroundings and environment addresses these barriers.

Electricity and Heating; Air Cooling

 

The use of Kromatix™ in the production of solar panels and roof tiles will provide an aesthetic and cost effective solution to the air cooling or heating of a building and electricity generation.

 

Electricity and Heating

 

Photovoltaic solar panels convert solar energy from the sun into electricity or heat.  The sun’s rays excite the atoms in a silicon layer between two protector panels.  The electrons travel down wires into the home for electricity.  This energy can be sent to the grid decreasing the amount of electricity drawn from the grid, or directly used to provide energy.  Electricity from PV panels, or circulating hot water in thermal panels, can also be used to directly heat a house.  Electricity generated in the PV panels is used in certain cases to drive geo-thermal pumps, or traditional air conditioning units.

 

Air Cooling

 

Water circulation solar collectors are used to generate thermal energy with adsorption coolers to transform the generated hot water into cold air to refresh the building.  Naturally, the generated hot water can also be stored for the hot water needs and circulated for heating.  The system uses solar technology colored glazed cladding panels to capture solar radiation and convert it to heat.  The panels, which are opaque to the human eye but transparent to sunlight, form a full or partial solar envelope around a building to maximize the heat capturing capability of the facades.  Water circulating within the panels is heated and then feeds the heating system of the building or is converted into cold water in an adsorption chiller which then cools the air flowing around it and then circulates it through the building’s ventilation system.  The system is a totally “green” solution as it is self-powered with solar energy, eliminates the need for grid-powered HVAC installations, is capable (subject to the orientation of and other details related to the building) of meeting 100% of a building’s thermal control needs with solar power, is sustainable and does not emit carbon dioxide.

 

SwissINSO’s target audience for the promotion and use of this solution includes architects, property developers, building contractors, curtain wall manufacturers and Building Integrated Photovoltaic (“BIPV”) companies worldwide.

Intellectual Property

 

SwissINSO has entered into an exclusive technology transfer and license agreement with EPFL covering the development, industrialization and commercialization of the technology of high-transmission colored solar glass treatment to provide an aesthetic and efficient solution for electricity generation, and air cooling and heating of buildings.

 

The Company has signed a final agreement with EPFL on exclusivity and royalties and paid substantially all past development cost. Two new agreements were also signed with EPFL, one for developing lightweight, long-life colored high efficiency tiles and one for higher color intensity products

 

Competition

 

The renewable energy industry following a boom period has faced some significant challenges over the past years, in particular from low cost Chinese solar panel producers who have dumped product into the US and European markets, forcing a number of key solar panel producers into bankruptcy.  Without exception, nearly all such solar panel producers compete with each other primarily on terms of price and efficiency as there is no competitive differentiator with regard to color, with all such panels being either black or blue.  Independently of this fierce competition, growth in solar installations has been one of the highest of all sectors.

 

Kromatix™ provides SwissINSO a unique opportunity to offer a competitive differentiator to the right joint venture partners.  This, together with the resumption of an even higher growth rate and the recovery of certain solar industries, explains the number of companies engaging SwissINSO in commercial discussions.  The Company is pursuing additional discussions with several leading panel producers.

 

The ability to combine color and aesthetics into solar-panel production is a significant paradigm shift in an industry dominated by black and blue panels and is providing SwissINSO with a significant competitive advantage in a market flooded with companies that have little or no product differentiation.

 

Solar installations are growing at a considerable rate, and the renewable energy industry has started gaining noticeable grounds lately and offer and demand are expected to match at the end of 2015. The market sector which is growing faster than any is the BIPV (Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics), and it is particularly to that sector that our products are adapted and bring unprecedented advantages.

Employees

 

SwissINSO currently has three (3) employees, one in administration and two in research and development.  The majority of other services, in particular sales, marketing and industrialization of the product, are provided by related ventures and independent contractors and consultants, the purpose being to keep the research and development unit in Switzerland running with minimum overheads.

 

Significant Subsidiaries

 

As of December 31, 2014, our sole subsidiary was SwissINSO.

Results of Operations - Year ended December 31, 2014 compared to year ended December 31, 2013

 

We finished the development and industrialization stage for our first Kromatix™ range of products and are actively pursuing a few key projects to showcase the Kromatix™ technology. We expect the first revenues in the 4th quarter of 2015.

 

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we were still in the development, industrialization and commercial phases of the business and no revenues were generated.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred $1,434,999 of general and administrative expenses and $-0- of research and development expenses as we continued the development of the business of SwissINSO.  In addition, we incurred $108,437 in interest charges related to bridge loans received in September 2009, convertible notes sold in a private placement from December 2009 through December 2010 and short-term loans received from 2011 through 2014.   In comparison, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $1,476,763 of general and administrative expenses and $-0- of research and development expenses.  In addition, we incurred $249,121 in interest charges related to bridge loans received in September 2009, convertible notes sold in a private placement from December 2009 through December 2010 and short-term loans received from 2011 through 2013.  Our net loss before foreign currency translation adjustments during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,678,984, as compared to a net loss before foreign currency translation adjustments during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 of $1,250,163, including a non-cash stock warrants gain of $480,659.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $4,968,851 as compared with a working capital deficit at December 31, 2013 of $3,611,384.  During the past twelve (12) months, we have incurred significant operating expenses, and we expect to continue to incur additional, but less significant, operating expenses for overheads, research and development, sampling and certification, sales channel development, general and administrative expenses and debt payments during the next six (6) months.

 

In 2014, we received short-term loans aggregating $1,020,295 from our current Chief Executive Officer to meet the working capital needs of SwissINSO. These loans were sufficient to enable the Company to meet the working capital needs of SwissINSO. We were also able to negotiate settlements or extended payment terms with our creditors, and a number of these obligations have now been settled.

 

We do not have any other available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity except those provided by our Chief Executive Officer and will need to obtain additional capital in order to continue SwissINSO’s business operations.  In order to obtain such capital, we will need to sell additional securities or borrow additional funds from lenders.  There can be no assurance that we will obtain additional funding which is sufficient until substantial revenue from sales has started.  If we are not successful generating sufficient revenues from future sales of Kromatix™ business, this would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Going Concern Consideration

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, we have not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern and ultimately to attain profitable operations is dependent on (a) raising capital to meet our past due, current and future obligations to employees, suppliers, vendors, landlords, service providers and lenders and to fund SwissINSO’s business plan and (b) continued development of the Kromatix™ business. 

 

We incurred a net loss before foreign currency translation adjustments during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 of $1,678,984 and have an accumulated deficit since inception of $17,665,290, primarily comprised of general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses incurred to create the Company, develop the business and maintain the Company’s existence as a public company in addition to interest charges incurred on the bridge loans, convertible debt and other short-term debt used to finance the Company and the business of SwissINSO.  These factors impact our ability to continue as a going concern.  As discussed above, management plans include attempting to obtain additional capital from sales of securities and private borrowings, from the commercialization of the Kromatix™ business and future joint ventures.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act.  In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Based on such evaluation, and as discussed in greater detail below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective:

 

to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and

 

to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.  Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.  Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets,
   
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors and
   
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  Based on the assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2014 due to the following material weaknesses:

 

absence of an audit committee resulting in reduced oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures
   
absence of proper segregation of duties due to the size of the company.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

In September 2014, the Company outsourced its accounting operations to FidexAudit, a professional registered accounting and audit firm based in Lausanne, Switzerland which improved the segregation of duties in the accounting and procurement areas. Our Chief Financial Officer is currently involved in the design and implementation of a comprehensive internal controls system. These internal controls will be implemented in 2015.

ITEM 10.  DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Directors and Executive Officers

 

The following table sets forth the names, ages, years elected and principal offices and positions of our current directors and executive officers:

 

Name  

Year First Elected As

Officer or Director

  Age   Office
             
Rafic Hanbali   2011   64   Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer
             
Clive D. Harbutt   2009   58   Chief Financial Officer and Director
             
John Woodbridge   2013   76   Director

 

Rafic Hanbali is a private investor and independent business entrepreneur who has founded and managed various companies in international trade, food production and distribution, wireless communications, technology and aircraft finance services in Brazil and Europe.  Mr. Hanbali’s main strengths are to identify business opportunities, foresee business trends and organize business enterprises to develop and commercialize products.  He has had significant experience in both establishing new companies to take advantage of business opportunities and in restructuring and turning around existing companies.  Mr. Hanbali’s business and restructuring experience led to the conclusion that he should serve as a director of the Company.

 

Clive D. Harbutt is the founder and managing partner of Swiss Investment Consulting Group SA (“SICG”), based in Geneva, Switzerland.  SICG works closely with venture capital funds and investors in technology, cleantech and life sciences, providing support on the various non-scientific and technical challenges facing investors and companies as they grow.  Mr. Harbutt is also co-founder of Strategic Impact Consulting Group S.A., which focuses on Internal Audit, Lean Six Sigma process improvement, internal controls design & reliance testing and preacquisition due diligence and value realisation.  Mr. Harbutt has extensive audit, finance and accounting experience, having held senior corporate finance positions in a number of global blue-chip companies such as Pfizer, Howmedica, Serono and Firmenich.  Born and raised in London, England, Mr. Harbutt has worked in Latin America, the United States and Europe.  He is a qualified accountant and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, a member of the American International Club of Geneva and the British-Swiss Chamber of Commerce and an ambassador for the MBA program at the University of Geneva.  Mr. Harbutt’s experience with venture capital funds and investors in businesses like SwissINSO and his audit, finance and accounting experience in senior corporate finance positions in a number of global blue-chip companies led to the conclusion that he should serve as a director of the Company.

 

John Woodbridge is an Electro/Mechanical Engineer and, since 2004, has been the Chief Executive Officer of UMC (Machine Tools) Ltd., an international company involved in the sale of high tech, high value robotic machine tools to companies such as British Aerospace, EADS, MacLaren Racing and Baxter Hughes.  Prior thereto, Mr. Woodbridge was Managing Director of Baker & Bell Aerospace Ltd., General Manager of Pipe Products Middle East LLC and Managing Director of Tolbridge Ltd.  Mr. Woodbridge’s engineering background and his international business experience led to the conclusion that he should serve as a director of the Company.

 

Mr. Stéphane Boudon resigned from the Board of SwissINSO on July 24, 2014.

 

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.  None of our directors or executive officers is, or has been during the past five years, a director in any other U.S. reporting companies.  During the past ten years, none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any legal proceedings that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of such person.

 

10
 

  

Each of our directors serves for a term of one year or until his successor is elected at our annual shareholders’ meeting and is qualified, subject to removal by our shareholders.  Each officer serves, at the pleasure of the Board of Directors, for a term of one year and until his successor is elected at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors and is qualified.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in their ownership with the SEC, and forward copies of such filings to us.  We believe based solely on our review of the copies of such forms, that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, all reporting persons complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.

 

Code of Ethics


We have adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics for Directors, Officers and Employees.  A copy of such code was filed as Exhibit 14 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on June 17, 2011.

 

Committees

 

At this time, we do not have a separate audit committee, nominating committee or compensation committee, as the functions of such committees are performed by the entire Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has determined that Clive D. Harbutt, our Chief Financial Officer, would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the applicable SEC rules.  However, Mr. Harbutt would not be deemed to be independent as independence for audit committee members is defined in Section 10A-3(B) of the Exchange Act.  We have not yet established procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.


The percentages below are calculated based on 143,625,892 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding as of August 20, 2015, except for the percentages for each of Messrs.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

SwissINSO Holding, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SwissINSO Holding, Inc. and subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (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 audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of SwissINSO Holding Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the 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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses and has a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SWISSINSO HOLDING INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2014 and 2013


NOTE 1 - Organization and Business

 

SwissINSO Holding Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Florida on November 13, 2007 under the name “Pashminadepot.com, Inc.” Until May 31, 2009, it focused on the business of developing a website to sell Pashmina and other accessories. Due to the state of the economy, virtually no business was conducted and this business plan was abandoned. Management then sought an operating company with which to merge or to acquire.

 

On September 10, 2009 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with SwissINSO SA, a Swiss company (“SwissINSO”), and its shareholders pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of the shares of SwissINSO to develop new business opportunities. The transaction was consummated on October 19, 2009, and SwissINSO became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the shareholders of SwissINSO received in exchange for their shares an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 65.62% of the then issued and outstanding share capital of the Company. At the same time, the Company issued 1,097,145 shares of its common stock to the principal shareholder of SwissINSO, Michel Gruering, upon conversion of his existing shareholder loan to SwissINSO.

 

On October 28, 2009, the state of incorporation was changed from Florida to Delaware by the merger of Pashminadepot.com, Inc. with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary, SwissINSO Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation, which had been formed for such purpose. In connection with such merger, the Company’s name changed from “Pashminadepot.com, Inc.” to “SwissINSO Holding Inc.” Each issued share of the common stock of Pashminadepot.com, Inc. from and after the effective time of such merger was converted into one share of the common stock of SwissINSO Holding Inc.

 

Prior to the acquisition of SwissINSO, the Company was in the development stage and had no revenues or business operations. Following the acquisition of SwissINSO, the Company’s business became exclusively the business of SwissINSO described below.

 

SwissINSO was incorporated in Switzerland on May 30, 2006. In conjunction with the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (LESO-PB) of the Swiss Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne, Switzerland (EPFL), SwissINSO targets, develops and commercializes breakthrough renewable energy green technologies exiting the LESO-PB product development pipeline.

 

SwissINSO utilizes its intellectual property assets to provide aesthetic and efficient solar energy solutions and products to the renewable energy market.

 

SwissINSO’s goal is to become a world leader in the development of leading-edge technologies and products in the renewable energy sector that address the global energy shortage through products that are aesthetic and efficient with a specific focus on solar technology innovations in the areas of solar air cooling and heating.

 

Since its inception, SwissINSO has devoted substantially all of its efforts to raising capital, research and development, market research, securing technology rights and the validation and scale-up of the Kromatix™ technology, the first SwissINSO product to exit the LESO-PB development pipeline.

 

SwissINSO has not generated any revenues to date.

 

NOTE 2 - Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations through the generation of revenues from the sale of products and technologies. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has funded its initial operations by way of entering into a private placement offering and borrowings from its Chief Executive Officer and other stockholders.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

F-7
 

 

NOTE 3 - Significant Accounting Policies

 

Accounting Basis

 

These consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the historical financial information of SwissINSO SA from inception to December 31, 2014. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements and Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiary have been translated into United States dollars by translating balance sheet accounts at year end and period end exchange rates except for non-current assets which are translated at historical exchange rates, and statement of operations accounts at average exchange rates for the periods. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are reflected in the equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The balance of the foreign currency translation adjustment, included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, was $150,344 and $(105,796) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of 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 year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of current bank balances. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company’s policy is to regularly assesses slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventory and establish appropriate reserves against any amounts determined to have such characteristics.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is provided using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of assets, which range from four to ten years. Computer equipment is amortized using the straight-line method over the useful life of three years. Upon the disposition of property and equipment, the accumulated depreciation is deducted from the original cost and any gain or loss is reflected in current earnings.

 

F-8
 

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of notes payable to third parties. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s objectives in using derivative financial instruments are to obtain the lowest cash cost-source of funds. Derivative liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value based on the criteria specified in FASB ASC topic 815-40 "Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s own Equity". The estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton method where applicable. Such estimates are revalued at each balance sheet date, with changes in the value recorded as stock warrant expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and related employee benefit costs, professional and consultants’ fees, marketing and promotional expenses and various other general corporate expenses.

 

Employee Benefits

 

Mandatory contributions are made under Government retirement benefit and unemployment schemes at the minimum statutory rates in force during the period, based on gross salary payments. The costs of these payments are charged to the statement of income in the same period as the related salary costs.

 

Stock Option Plan

 

The Company recognizes all employee-based compensation as a cost in the financial statements. Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.

 

Excess tax benefits of awards that are recognized in equity related to stock option exercises are reflected as operating cash inflows.

 

Research and Development

 

Costs incurred in acquiring technological expertise and corresponding research and development are charged to operating expenses when incurred.

 

Other Expenses

 

Other expenses are comprised of fees for negotiating Company financing.
 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the treasury stock method is used to calculate diluted earnings per share. The Company has issued convertible notes with warrants which are potentially dilutive common shares. For the periods presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company and its subsidiary provide for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10. FASB ASC 740-10 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. FASB ASC 740-10 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No provision for income taxes is included in the statement due to its immaterial amount, net of the allowance account, based on the likelihood of the Company and its subsidiary to utilize the loss carry-forward.

 

F-9
 

 

Operating Leases

 

Rent expense on operating leases arises on a straight line basis and is charged to general and administrative expenses as it occurs.

 

Development Stage Entity

 

The Company has limited operations and is considered to be in the development stage. In the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this ASU allows the Company to remove the inception to date information and all references to development stage.

 

NOTE 4 - Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment at December 31, 2014 and 2013 at cost, consisted of the following:

 

   2014   2013 
Furniture  $84,618   $84,618 
Computer equipment   102,818    102,818 
    187,436    187,436 
Less accumulated depreciation   (187,436)   (187,436)
   $-0-   $-0- 

 

Depreciation expense on property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $-0- and $-0-.

 

NOTE 5 - Notes Payable

 

The Company issued a $250,000 promissory note in January 2010 to an independent third party bearing interest at 9% per annum repayable once the Company raised $6,000,000 through the sale of securities. The note remains outstanding. The Company’s subsidiary also borrowed monies from former executive officers and directors and a shareholder of the Company in prior years. As of December 31, 2013 and 2014, the balance due to such persons was $533,332 and $721,452. $546,276 of such loans bear interest at 9% per annum, and the balance of such loans are non-interest bearing. All of such loans remain outstanding.

 

During 2013 and 2014, the Company’s subsidiary borrowed monies from current executive officers and directors and another shareholder of the Company to meet the working capital needs of the Company’s subsidiary. The balance due to related parties as at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014 was $719,697 and $1,740,641 respectively. These loans are non-interest bearing and remain outstanding.

 

NOTE 6 - Convertible Notes with Warrants

 

The Company received subscriptions of $6,035,000 from the sale of 9% Secured Convertible Notes with Warrants issued in a private placement. A total of 12,070,000 Warrants were issued. All of such Notes were converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share during 2011, 2012 and 2013. The 12,070,000 Warrants were exercisable for an equivalent number of shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share within five years of issuance date. The Company will issue common stock from authorized shares to Warrant holders upon the exercise of the Warrants. As of December 31, 2014, 2,900,000 Warrants had expired unexercised, and no Warrants have been exercised. As of the end of the first quarter of 2015, an additional 8,270,000 Warrants expired unexercised. The remaining 900,000 Warrants expire on September 15, 2015 (500,000 Warrants) and December 8, 2010 (400,000 Warrants) and have an exercise price of $1.00, a weighted average exercise price of $1.00 and no intrinsic value.

 

As of the issuance date of the Notes, the Company concluded that the Warrants were derivatives under ASC 815. As of December 31, 2013, the Company concluded that the Warrants were no longer derivatives and reduced the liability from $480,659 at December 31, 2012 to $-0- at December 31, 2013, resulting in a gain of $480,659 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE 7 - Capital Stock

 

During 2014, the Company sold 100,000 shares of its common stock to an individual at a price of $0.48 per share.

 

NOTE 8 - Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

   2014   
   SWISSINSO SA    HOLDING     CONSOLIDATED  
Accumulated net operating loss  $(6,132,232)  $(10,497,003)   (16,629,235)
Effective income tax rate   7.8%   34%   41.8%
 Deferred tax asset   (478,314)   (3,568,981)   (6,951,020)
Less valuation allowance   478,314    3,568,981    6,951,020 
Net deferred tax asset  $-0-   $-0-   $-0- 

 

   2013   
   SWISSINSO SA    HOLDING    CONSOLIDATED 
Accumulated net operating loss  $(6,187,411)   (8,910,442)   (15,097,853)
Effective income tax rate   7.8%   34%   41.8%
 Deferred tax asset   (482,618)   (3,029,550)   (6,310,903)
Less valuation allowance   482,618    3,029,550    6,310,903 
Net deferred tax asset  $-0-   $-0-   $-0- 

  

Through December 31, 2014, a valuation allowance has been recorded to offset the deferred tax assets, including those related to the net operating losses. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $17,665,290 of net accumulated operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2027. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 restricts the ability to use these carryforwards whenever an ownership change occurs. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

 

Reconciliations of the U.S. federal statutory rate to the actual tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

 

Federal statutory income tax rate   34.0%
State tax net of federal benefit   0.0%
Benefit from lower foreign income tax rate   7.8%
    41.8%
Increase in valuation allowance   (41.8)%

In 2009, the Company adopted a stock compensation plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options or nonvested shares to officers and key employees. To date, the Company has only granted stock options settleable in shares. The Plan authorizes grants to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock. Stock options can be granted with an exercise price less than, equal to or greater than the stock’s fair value at the date of grant. All awards have terms and vesting schedules as determined on a case-by-case basis by the Board of Directors.

 

At December 31, 2014, there were 4,200,000 additional shares available for the Company to grant under the Plan. The grant-date fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.
