ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have not been reviewed by the Company’s independent auditor. They have been prepared by management in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

TRITON EMISSION SOLUTIONS INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2019

(Unaudited, Prepared by Management)

 

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Triton Emission Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 2, 2000. On August 25, 2014, the Company changed its name from Poly Shield Technologies Inc. to Triton Emission Solutions Inc. The Company’s shares are listed on the OTCPink under the symbol “DSOX”

 

The Company’s main focus is the development and marketing of its proprietary DSOX Fuel Purification (the “DSOX”) and Njord Exhaust Gas Scrubber (the “Njord”) Systems, designed to remove sulfur from marine fuel and exhaust gases. The technology is currently aimed at the maritime industry which includes vessels for cruise-line, freight shipping and tanker companies.

 

Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, the Company’s management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Due to a weak financial condition, the Company’s independent auditor has not performed a review of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. For further information, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s report on Form 10-K.

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial position for any period presented.

 

Going concern

The accompanying unaudited, management prepared, consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations.

 

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had not achieved profitable operations and had a working capital deficit of $17,766,175 and accumulated a deficit of $81,247,869. In addition, as of June 30, 2019, the Company owed a total of $10,805,977 to KF Business Ventures, LP (“KFBV”), an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman, under the terms of three separate loan agreements with KFBV (Note 4). Should KFBV serve the Company with default notice and request a payment of the amounts owed, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern and may be required to file for bankruptcy. The likelihood and outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raises substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing funds from its directors and officers, issuing promissory notes and/or a private placement of common stock.


F-5


 

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As at June 30, 2019, the Company owed $204,435 (2018 - $204,364) to an entity controlled by the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any transactions with its related parties other than the notes and advances payable (Notes 3 and 4). During the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $23,569 in stock-based compensation associated with fair value of options issued to a Director and Chairman (Note 5).

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded $14,672 in interest expense associated with the Norling Loans (2018 - $13,819).

KF Business Ventures Bridge Loan and Note Payable

 

On August 31, 2015, the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement with KFBV, whereby KFBV agreed to lend to the Company $200,000 in exchange for an unsecured promissory note (the “KFBV Bridge Loan”).

 

The KFBV Bridge Loan has an interest rate of 6%, and was due December 31, 2016.

As part of the terms of the KFBV Note the Company agreed to grant KFBV the right to offset the cash payable by KFBV to exercise the warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock against the corresponding amount the Company would have to pay for outstanding indebtedness under this KFBV Note.

 

The KFBV Note has an interest rate of 10% and was due January 15, 2017. Under the terms of the KFBV Note, in the event of default the interest rate increases to 15% per annum until such time that the default is cured. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded $8,182 in interest expense associated with the KFBV Note (2018 - $8,182). As at June 30, 2019, the Company owed $154,067 (2018 - $145,885) under the KFBV Note.

 

As of June 30, 2019, the KFBV Bridge Loan and KFBV Note are in default, however, the Company has not been served with a default notice by KFBV.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, KFBV advanced the Company an additional $10,792 (2018 - $6,506) for working capital. The advances are unsecured, due on demand and accumulate interest at a rate of 10% per annum.

NOTE 4 - KFBV LOANS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

On January 15, 2014, the Company entered into a binding letter agreement with KFBV which was superseded by the formal definitive loan agreement signed on February 11, 2014, and further amended on March 10, 2014, September 8, 2014, and on December 17, 2015 (the “First KF Loan Agreement”). Under the First KF Loan Agreement the Lender agreed to lend to the Company up to $2,000,000 in four equal installments of $500,000 each (the “First KF Loan”). Pursuant to the First KF Loan Agreement (as amended on March 10, 2014) the principal and interest were to become payable in 18 equal monthly installments commencing on January 1, 2015, with the  Company having the right to prepay the First KF Loan at any time in increments of not less than $250,000. The First KF Loan is unsecured and has effective interest rate of 1,130%, which was due primarily to the recording of non-cash accretion interest.

 

In consideration for the First KF Loan Agreement, as amended on March 10, 2014 (the “March Amendment”), the Company issued to the Lender non-transferrable share purchase warrants to purchase a total of 6,904,546 shares exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share (the “First KF Warrants”). Warrants for 2,450,000 shares had an original expiry date of January 15, 2015, and warrants for 4,454,546 shares had an original expiry date of January 15, 2018. At the discretion of the Lender the First KF Warrants for up to 3,452,273 shares of common stock could have been acquired by way of a cashless exercise.

 

The First KF Warrants included a down-round provision whereby the exercise price of the First KF Warrants could have been adjusted to the lowest offering price of any options, warrants or shares issued subsequent to the issuance of the First KF Warrants (the “Down-Round Provision”). The First KF Warrants were determined to be a derivative under ASC 815; therefore, at initial measurement, the proceeds were allocated to the fair value of the warrants first and any residual proceeds to the principal of the First KF Loan.

 

At issuance date, the fair value of the First KF Warrants was $5,128,110 and a value of $Nil was allocated to the principal.

 

On September 8, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the “September Amendment”) to extend the maturity of the First KF Loan to January 15, 2016, and replace 18 equal monthly installments with a one-time payment of principal and accrued interest. Furthermore, the Company was given an option to further extend the repayment of the First KF Loan to January 15, 2017, by issuing additional share purchase warrants (the “First Extension Warrants”) equal to one-half of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest as at January 15, 2016. The Extension Warrants were to have an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share expiring on September 1, 2021.

 

As consideration for the September Amendment, the Company issued to the Lender additional warrants for the purchase of up to 2,350,000 shares (the “September Warrants”), with an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share and expiring on January 15, 2019, with cashless exercise rights for up to 1,175,000 shares. In addition, the Company agreed to decrease the exercise price for the First KF Warrants (the “Amended Warrants”) from $1.00 per share to $0.50 per share and extend the expiration date of warrants for up to 2,450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from January 15, 2015, to January 15, 2016. The September Warrants also included the Down-Round Provision.

 

On December 17, 2015 (the “December Amendment Date”), as part of the second definitive Letter Agreement with KFBV (the “Second KF Letter Agreement”), which was superseded by a formal Loan Agreement dated January 8, 2016, the Company agreed to decrease the exercise price for Amended Warrants and September Warrants from $0.50 per share to $0.10 per share and extend the expiration date of warrants to January 15, 2021. In addition, the Company exercised its option to extend the maturity of the First KF Loan to January 15, 2017, by issuing the Lender 1,194,332 First Extension Warrants, being an equivalent to one-half of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest on the First KF Loan as at January 15, 2016. First Extension Warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.10 per share expiring on September 1, 2021.

 

The Company did not repay the First KF Loan on January 15, 2017, when due, and as such the First KF Loan is in default. The Company recorded a penalty on unpaid balance of $131,978, representing 5% of the full balance due under the First KF Loan on January 15, 2017. The Company has not been served with a default notice by KFBV.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded $271,212 (2018 - $233,651) in interest expense on the First KF Loan at 15% per annum, the default rate of interest.

At June 30, 2019, the fair value of the derivative liability associated with the warrants issued pursuant to the First KF Loan Agreement was $20,898 (December 31, 2018 - $42,990).

Second KF Business Ventures Loan Agreement

 

On July 28, 2014, the Company entered into a second loan agreement with the Lender (the “Second KF Loan Agreement”). Under the Second KF Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to lend to the Company $2,400,000 (the “Second KF Loan”), to be advanced in eight equal installments of $300,000 each, commencing on September 1, 2014, and on the first day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter until fully advanced.

 

The initial maturity date under the Second KF Loan Agreement was January 15, 2016, with an option to further extend the maturity date to January 15, 2017, by issuing additional share purchase warrants (the “Second Extension Warrants”) equal to one-half of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest as at January 15, 2016. The Second KF Loan is unsecured and has an effective interest rate of 1,729%, which was due primarily to the recording of non-cash accretion interest.

 

In consideration for the Second KF Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender non-transferrable share purchase warrants for a total of 9,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.50 per share for a period expiring September 1, 2019 (the “Second KF Warrants”). At the discretion of the Lender the Second KF Warrants for up to 4,800,000 shares of common stock can be acquired by way of a cashless exercise.

 

The Second KF Warrants were determined to be a derivative under ASC 815; therefore, at initial measurement, the proceeds were allocated to the fair value of the Second KF Warrants first and any residual proceeds to the loan principal.

 

At issuance date, the fair value of the Second KF Warrants was $5,388,652 and a value of $Nil was allocated to the principal.

 

On December 17, 2015, as part of the Second KF Letter Agreement, which was superseded by a formal Loan Agreement dated January 8, 2016, the Company agreed to decrease the exercise price for the Second KF Warrants from $0.50 per share to $0.10 per share and extend the expiration date of these warrants to January 15, 2021. The Second KF Warrants included a down-round provision whereby the exercise price of the Second KF Warrants could have been adjusted to the lowest offering price of any options, warrants or shares issued subsequent to the issuance of the Second KF Warrants.  In addition, the Company exercised its option to extend the maturity of the Second KF Loan to January 15, 2017, by issuing the Lender 1,337,320 Second Extension Warrants, being an equivalent to one-half of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest as at January 15, 2016. Second Extension Warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.10 per share expiring on September 1, 2021.

 

The Company did not repay the Second KF Loan on January 15, 2017, when due, and as such the Second KF Loan is in default. The Company recorded a penalty on unpaid balance of $147,779, representing 5% of the full balance due under the Second KF Loan on January 15, 2017. The Company has not been served with a default notice by KFBV.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded $303,681 (2018 - $261,624) in interest expense on the Second KF Loan at 15% per annum, the default rate of interest.

 

At June 30, 2019, the fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the Second KF Warrants and the Second Extension Warrants was $21,875 (December 31, 2018 - $45,087).

Third KF Business Ventures Loan Agreement

 

On December 17, 2015, the Company entered into a Second KF Letter Agreement with the Lender, which was ratified by the formal definitive loan agreement signed on January 8, 2016 (the “Third KF Loan Agreement”). Under the Third KF Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to lend to the Company $1,500,000 (the “Third KF Loan”), to be advanced in five equal installments of $300,000 each, commencing on execution of the Second KF Letter Agreement, and on the first day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter until fully advanced.

 

The maturity date under the Third KF Loan Agreement was January 15, 2017. The Third KF Loan is unsecured and has an effective interest rate of 2,339%, which was due primarily to the recording of non-cash accretion interest. At the discretion of the Lender the principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Third KF Loan may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share, in minimum increments of $250,000 (the “Third KF Loan Conversion Feature”). In case of default, the conversion price is calculated based on a 50% discount to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s stock over the last five days of trading immediately preceding the date of exercise. The Down-Round Provision is included in the Third KF Loan Conversion Feature.

 

In consideration for the Third KF Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender non-transferrable share purchase warrants for a total of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share for a period expiring January 15, 2021 (the “Third KF Warrants”). At the discretion of the Lender the Third KF Warrants for up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock can be acquired by way of a cashless exercise. The Down-Round Provision is included in the Third KF Warrants.

 

The Third KF Warrants and the Third KF Loan Conversion Feature were determined to be derivatives under ASC 815; therefore, at initial measurement, the proceeds were allocated to the Third KF Warrants and the Third KF Loan Conversion Feature on pro-rata basis first and any residual proceeds to the principal.

 

At issuance date, the fair value of the Third KF Warrants and the Third KF Loan Conversion Feature was $509,760 and $990,239 respectively and a value of $1 was allocated to the principal.

 

The Company did not repay the Third KF Loan on January 15, 2017, when due, and as such the Third KF Loan is in default.  The Company recorded a penalty on unpaid balance of $82,399, representing 5% of the full balance due under the Third KF Loan on January 15, 2017. The Company has not been served with a default notice by KFBV.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded $169,327 (2018 - $145,877) in interest expense on the Third KF Loan at 15% per annum, the default rate of interest.

 

As a consequence of the Third KF Loan being in default, the conversion price decreased to 50% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s stock over the last five days of trading immediately preceding the date of exercise. The decrease in price may result in the Company having to issue up to 1,188,105,971 shares of its common stock should KFBV decide to exercise its conversion rights under the Third KF Loan Agreement.

At June 30, 2019, the fair value of the derivative liability associated with the Third KF Warrants and the Third KF Loan Conversion Feature were $16,000 (2018 - $40,000) and $2,376,212 (2018 - $2,125,510), respectively.

Cautionary Statement of No Auditor Review

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have not been reviewed by the Company’s independent auditor. They have been prepared by management of the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

The discussion provided in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K along with unaudited, management prepared, consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2019.

 

OVERVIEW

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 2, 2000. We are in the business of developing and marketing emission abatement technologies for the marine industry worldwide.

 

Our main products are represented by the Njord Exhaust Gas Scrubber System (the “Njord System”) and the DSOX Fuel Purification System (the “DSOX-20” or “DSOX System”). The main purpose of the Njord System is to clean the exhaust gases from excess sulfur following the internal combustion process within a ships’ engine, whereas the DSOX-20 is a pre-combustion de-sulfurization technology designed to remove alkali metals, such as sulfur and sodium, from heavy marine fuel.


2


 

Both systems can work as stand-alone units or can be used in conjunction with one another to get the ultimate results. The fairly small size of Njord System and capability of it working in both open and closed loop modes makes the system versatile for installation on new builds as well as for retrofitting existing vessels. Its unique design does not require the addition of any chemicals and results in minimal back pressure, allowing for an extended longevity of a ships’ engine.

 

On August 8, 2018, the Company entered into an executive recruitment search agreement (the “Executive Search Agreement”) to identify, source, and vet companies who would be interested in partnering with the Company or entering into a joint venture arrangements to continue the development of the Company’s Emission Technologies as well as to identify potential individual candidates for the currently vacant position of CEO of the Company. The Company agreed to a $50,000 minimum fee payable upon the successful completion of the Executive Search Agreement, of which $7,500 retainer has been paid on signing the Executive Search Agreement. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was not able to retain a new CEO or engage a potential company to continue its work on the development of the Company’s Emission Technologies

Revenues

 

We did not generate any revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Due to significant shortage of financial resources, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue in the foreseeable future.

 

Operating Expenses

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, our operating expenses totaled $8,972 and were comparable to the operating expenses we incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, which totaled $8,415. The largest expense items during the current period included professional fees of $2,747 (2018 - $6,034), which were mainly associated with maintenance of our patents and patent applications, filing and regulatory fees of $1,095 (2018 - $3,544), and realized loss on foreign exchange, which amounted to $3,922 (2018 - gain of $3,799).

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, our operating expenses totaled $30,841, an increase of $23,224, or 305%, as compared to $7,617 we incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. The largest expense items during the current six-month period included professional fees of $17,061 (2018 - $7,534), which were mainly associated with maintenance of our patents and patent applications, filing and regulatory fees of $3,403 (2018 - $5,846), and realized loss on foreign exchange, which amounted to $7,691 (2018 - gain of $8,731).

 

Other Items

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $255,860 gain (2018 - $50,459 loss) on cumulative change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the warrants we issued to KFBV pursuant to the KF Loans and the conversion feature available under the Third KF Loan Agreement. The cumulative change in fair value of the derivative liabilities consisted of $88,158 (2018 - $66,771) gain we recorded on the fair values of the derivative liabilities associated with the warrants and $167,702 gain (2018 - $117,230 loss) we recorded on fair values of the derivative liability associated with the conversion feature available under the Third KF Loan Agreement.

The cumulative change in fair value of the derivative liabilities consisted of $69,304 gain (2018 - $8,000) we recorded on the fair values of the derivative liabilities associated with the warrants, and $250,702 loss (2018 - $306,419) we recorded on fair value of the derivative liability associated with the conversion feature available under the Third KF Loan Agreement.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $744,220 (2018 - $641,152) in interest on KF Loans. Further $61,072 (2018 - $55,349) in interest expense was associated with interest accrued on the notes payable we issued to Mr. Norling, KFBV, and other non-related lenders.

We did not have similar transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our financial position at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

(17,766,175)

 

$

(16,748,644)

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had a cash balance of $962, a working capital deficit of $17,766,175, and cash flows used in operations of $10,798 for the six months then ended. Of our working capital deficit at June 30, 2019, $58,773 was attributed to the fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the warrants we issued to KFBV as partial consideration for the KF Loans, and $2,376,212 was attributed to the conversion feature included in the Third KF Loan Agreement. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, we funded our operations with $10,792 we received from KFBV; these advances accumulate interest at 10% per annum compounded monthly.

 

As of June 30, 2019, we owed a total of $10,805,977 (2018 - $10,061,757) to KFBV under the terms of the First KF Loan, the Second KF Loan and the Third KF Loan, consisting of (i) $5,900,000 (2018 - $5,900,000) in principal amount of all advances made to that date, (ii) $1,343,113 (2018 - $1,343,113) in accrued interest thereon calculated using the stated interest rate of 10% per annum compounded monthly until January 15, 2017, when all  KF Loans became due and payable, (iii) $3,200,708 (2018 - $2,456,488) in accrued interest at a default rate of interest, which was calculated on $7,243,113 owed and payable on January 15, 2017, and (iv) $362,156 (2018 - $362,156) in financing costs associated with penalty we accrued on an unpaid balance.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, we did not generate sufficient cash flows from our operating activities to satisfy our cash requirements. Our only significant source of financing during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, came from KFBV advances. The amount of cash that we have generated from our operations to date is significantly less than our current debt obligations, including our debt obligations under the KF Loans, which became due and payable on January 15, 2017, and as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q are in default.


4


 

There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from our operations to repay the amounts owing under the KF Loans when due, or to service our other debt obligations.  If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to repay the amounts owing when due, we may be required to raise additional financing, or re-negotiate the terms of our debt obligations. Our ability to raise financing from other sources is restricted under the terms of the KF Loan Agreements. Under the terms of those agreements, we may not incur additional debt financing (other than trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business), sell any material assets, sell any of our equity securities as part of any transaction that would result in a change in control, or engage in any corporate reorganization while any amounts remain outstanding under those agreements without KFBV’s prior written consent.

 

Although Robert C. Kopple, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, is the principal of KFBV, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing from KFBV, re-negotiate the terms of the KF Loans, or obtain KFBV’s consent to other financing alternatives, if needed.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, was $10,798. This cash was primarily used to cover our cash operating expenses of $23,404 and was offset by a $6,249 decrease in our prepaid expenses, a $5,761 increase in our accounts payable, and $587 and $9 increases in accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties, respectively.

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, was $9,844. This cash was primarily used to cover our cash operating expenses of $4,424, to decrease our wages payable by $15,641, and to reduce our accrued liabilities by $1,507. These uses of cash were offset by decrease in prepaid expenses of $455, increase in the accounts payable of $10,281, and increase in the amounts due to related parties of $992.

 

Non-cash Items

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our net loss was further increased by the following expenses that did not have any impact on cash used in operations:

 

·$805,292 (2018 - $696,501) in interest we accrued on our notes and advances payable, of which $744,220 (2018 - $641,152) were associated with interest we accrued on the balances payable on the KF Loans which became due and payable on January 15, 2017; 

 

·$181,398 (2018 - $298,419) loss we recorded on revaluation of the derivative liabilities associated with the warrants we issued to KFBV as consideration for the KF Loans and conversion feature included in the Third KF Loan Agreement, as, pursuant to the guidance provided by ASC 815, we must revalue derivative liability at each reporting period based on the value of the underlying variable on the reporting date. 

 

·$7,437 loss (2018 - $8,678 gain) we recorded on changes associated with foreign exchange fluctuations.

In addition to the expenses noted above, during our six-month period ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $23,569 in stock-based compensation associated with an option to acquire shares of our common stock which we granted to the chairman of our board of directors under the 2014 Plan. We did not have any expenses associated with stock-based compensation during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, KFBV advanced to us $10,792 (2018 - $6,506) for working capital. These advances accumulate interest at 10% per annum and are payable on demand.

 

As of June 30, 2019, we owed a total of $10,805,977 under KF Loans, consisting of (i) $5,900,000 in principal amount of all advances made to that date, (ii) $1,343,113 in accrued interest thereon calculated using the stated interest rate of 10% per annum, (iii) $3,200,708 in accrued interest at a default rate of interest, and (iv) $362,156 in financing costs associated with late payment fee we accrued on an unpaid balance. The KF Loans became due and payable on January 15, 2017, and at June 30, 2019 were in default; however, we have not been served with a default notice by KFBV.

 

Going Concern

 

The notes to our financial statements at June 30, 2019, disclose our uncertain ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q we have accumulated a deficit of $81,247,869 and additional financing will be required to fund and support our operations.

 

In February of 2017, majority of our top management resigned from their positions with the Company. Resignations of Mr. Aasen and Mr. Norling have left the Company without technical expertise required for the Company to continue development and marketing of our emission technologies, creating an uncertainty as to our ability to finalize our current projects to install a land-based DSOX Fuel Purification System for LMS, and to install a DSOX System on board of a vessel operated by DCL. These contracts were earlier placed on hold until such time that our technology can be proven through testing. In April 2017 we commissioned Norling Inc. to perform the required tests, which were completed in late June 2017, however, did not yield satisfactory results required to secure a potential contract on installation.

 

The results of the tests confirmed that more research and further improvements to our emission abatement systems will be required in order to achieve industry-specific requirements. Should we decide to continue our operations and further development of our DSOX and NJORD Systems, we will be required to retain several engineers with relevant experience in the emission abatement technologies to work on the above projects.  In order to be able to retain new staff or consultants we will be required to raise additional debt or equity financing, which may become challenging based on the current debt covenants under our existing KFBV Loan Agreements, and our share structure.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

None

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

An appreciation of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. These policies may require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. Our critical accounting policies do not involve the choice between alternative methods of accounting. We have applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Triton Emission Solutions Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ecolutions, Inc. On consolidation, we eliminate all significant intercompany balances and transactions.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Consulting Revenue

 

Revenue is realized when the service has been provided and the income is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from the Installation and Servicing of the Fuel Purification Systems

 

We recognize the revenue using the completed contract method whereby revenue is only recognized when all the following conditions have been met: pervasive evidence of an agreement exists, when delivery of the product has occurred and title has transferred or services have been provided, and when collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Deposits received prior to the delivery of goods and services are recorded as unearned revenue.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk

 

We are subject to foreign exchange risk on some purchases which are denominated in Canadian dollars and/or Swedish kronor. Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the U.S. dollar.  Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our results of operations as exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currency result in gains and losses that are reflected in our Statement of Operations. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency-denominated transactions will result in increased net revenue. Conversely, our net revenue will decrease when the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies. We do not believe that we have any material risk due to foreign currency exchange.

 

Stock Options and other Stock-based Compensation

 

For equity awards, such as stock options, total compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value and for liability awards, such as stock appreciation rights, total compensation cost is based on the settlement value. We recognize the stock-based compensation expense for all awards over the service period required to earn the award, which is the shorter of the vesting period or the time period an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, loan receivable, accounts payable, notes and advances payable, amounts due to related parties, loans payable and derivative liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash.

 

At June 30, 2019, we had $962 in cash on deposit with a large chartered Canadian bank. As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses in cash balances and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash.

Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

 

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to our financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2019. Based on the evaluation, our management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms due to limited segregation of duties.

 

Due to financial constraints, the management decided not to engage services of an independent accountant to review its quarterly consolidated financial statements. To the management’s best knowledge the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X; they include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, other than noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
