Summary

Cyclone Power Technologies (OTCQB: CYPW) is a clean-tech innovation company based in Pompano Beach, Florida. Our mission is to develop power technologies that lead to more efficient and diverse utilization of energy resources, less dependence on fossil fuels, and a cleaner environment. 

Since 2006 Cyclone has completed multiple prototype stages and received 33 patents on the Cyclone Engine, an external heat engine that generates mechanical power by expanding super-heated steam rapidly inside its cylinders. This steam expansion pushes pistons and turns a shaft. Hot water is then expelled into a condenser to cool and return to the external heat source to repeat the process in a closed loop. This is a Rankine cycle, which is how nuclear and coal-fired power plants produce electricity.

What makes the Cyclone Engine different from power plants is size. Cyclone Engines are compact systems that can be used for distributed power generation (i.e., a small electric home generator that also co-generates hot water and space heating) and transportation applications. Unlike power plants that use turbines which are difficult to build cost-effectively and run efficiently in small sizes, we are designing our engines to be easy to manufacture, high performance, compact piston engines.

What makes the Cyclone Engine different from piston steam engines of the past is efficiency. Based on current testing, we are able to convert up to approximately 33% of the energy content of fuel into usable power. This is approximately a 400% improvement over historical steam engines and on par with today’s small diesel engines. We are able to achieve such high thermal efficiencies because we have figured out how to run our engines without using lubricating oil which carbonizes at high temperatures. Without that limitation we are able to utilize steam heated to the same temperature and pressures as used by large power plants. High temperature = high efficiency; and high pressure = high power density.

What makes the Cyclone Engine more useful than diesel engines is fuel diversity. As an external heat engine that uses steam to create mechanical power, how that steam is created is of little consequence. We can use traditional fossil or bio-fuels in our patented, clean-burning combustion chamber. We can integrate our engine with gasifiers that dispose biomass and bio-waste. We can capture exhaust heat from furnaces or other engines. We can even use solar thermal collectors to harness the energy of the sun.

The market opportunities for Cyclone Engines are vast. We estimate that our technology addresses a market potential of roughly $100+ billion, and touches virtually all areas of power generation and transportation, as well as the production of U.S bio-fuels, natural gas and coal.

We currently have three engines in development addressing three markets that present what we believe to be the best and most immediate opportunities:

The advantages of our technology have been widely recognized. We first caught the public eye as Popular Science Magazine’s Invention of the Year in 2008, and since then, we have secured engine development contracts with Raytheon, the U.S. Army, Phoenix Power Group (waste-to-energy) and Combilift (European equipment manufacturer). We have formed working relationships with other major defense and industrial groups, and teaming agreements with multiple “vertical” development partners that manufacture and distribute furnaces, gasifiers, electric generators and other synergistic technologies. We have been invited by the Department of Energy’s ARPA-e program to showcase our technology at their annual summit, and have been named by our local government as the Environmental Business of the Year.

Business Model

Our business objective is to design and develop engines that we can manufacture through contracted parties for direct sale to customers, which include Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of different clean combustion / heat technologies (such as biomass gasifiers and pyrolyzers, methane and natural gas flares, wood pellet furnaces, solar collectors and similar items), and OEM’s in the equipment / transportation sectors.  We also license our technology to manufacturers and other producers of specialized applications.

Based on this business model, our revenue has or will come from:

With respect to certain waste-to-power applications, we may also realize revenue through the development, design and installation of power generation systems (inclusive of our engine and an electric generator), which could be sold to customers or provided to end-users through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Waste-to-power is the process of using waste resources -- such as waste heat from a chimney, methane from a land fill, or animal / plant waste from farms – in a combustion process to power our steam engine which, in turn, drives an electric motor, water pump or other similar equipment.  We have established a specialized subsidiary company – Cyclone-WHE LLC, of which we own approximately 74% of its equity – to pursue these opportunities.

Since inception, much of our efforts have been focused on development of our technology and engine prototypes. As a result, we have recognized limited revenue of $715,382 and $1,133,531 in 2013 and 2012, respectively. We also had $416,186 in deferred revenue as of the end of 2013 from several license and development agreements.

We have secured several important customers and development partners for our technology, which include:

Waste-to-Power Subsidiary

In 2013, we set a critical path to accomplish the goal of bringing our first engine (the Waste Heat Engine, WHE) into manufacturing in 2014 through our 74%-owned subsidiary, Cyclone-WHE LLC (“CWHE”). The WHE is designed to be used with other heat producing technologies and equipment, such as furnaces, gasifiers, methane flares, and industrial chimneys. In these cases, heat or dirty gases are produced in the disposal of waste products, or heat is expelled as a wasted by-product of another commercial process. Through use of specially designed heat exchangers, we can capture that wasted energy and use it to power the WHE, which can then run electric generators, pumps and similar devices. This process is called distributed waste-to-power.

Over the last 12 months, we have made considerable progress towards the goal of transitioning the WHE into a manufacturing mode. These achievements included:

Development Status of Technology

The Cyclone Engines are in development, however, prototypes of several different models and sizes are near completion. The following lists each of the Cyclone Engines that we have in development:

Our engines have not yet undergone customer field testing, and there is no guarantee that they will successfully meet customer expectations when completed.

Research and Development Activities

As a technology research and development company, much of our annual expenses are dedicated towards R&D, including labor costs, material costs, tooling and equipment and other expenses required to run our business. Our R&D expenditures for 2013 and 2012 were $772,795 and $1,091,501, respectively.

We actively pursue development agreements with customers, whereby we will develop an engine, design plans or other products to spec at the customer’s full or partial expense. Sometimes these arrangements are part of a more expansive license agreement. We currently have multiple R&D-type agreements in place, and believe that at this time approximately 40% of our R&D operations are funded by our customers.

Prototyping and Manufacturing

We currently contract with multiple suppliers for the production of many of our prototype parts, which we design and then assemble and test at our facility. In 2013 we acquired the machinery and recruited the talent to produce in-house a greater portion of this prototype manufacturing work, which we believe has saved us considerable time and money.  For production manufacturing, we intend to contract with one or more manufacturers that have the expertise, machinery, tooling and other capital assets required to commercialize and manufacture in mass production our engines. Precision-CNC, our partner in Ohio, is one such manufacturer.

Competitive Business Conditions

We believe that our technology, which is a small-scale heat-regenerative, Rankine cycle external combustion engine, has little direct competition. However, depending on the industry in which these engines are applied, indirect competitors utilizing different technologies do exist.

Currently, there are several companies which have developed and commercialized other types of external heat engines, such as Stirling engines. Stirling engines are similar to our technology and are used in overlapping applications (such as solar thermal power generation), however, the two engine technologies have several major differences, including size, power-density, and adaptability to fluctuations in heat and load. Based on preliminary testing and analysis, we believe that our engine technology may be superior to the Stirling engines in these aspects; and as a result, has more applications in waste heat and mobile uses (i.e., cars, trucks and ships). We have not yet commercialized our engine technology, and these claims are still to be proven. Also, several Stirling engine companies such as Infinia Corp. have greater capital resources than we do, which could help establish their technology in the marketplace quicker than we can.

Other technologies that may be indirectly competitive with our engines are lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. Batteries are useful for some applications where limited sustained power (torque) and operating time is needed, however, they are in essence just “fuel tanks” which allow for power that is generated elsewhere (i.e., a coal-fired power plant) to be saved and transported. Fuel cells, while showing great potential promise, are currently are very expensive for many practical applications. For instants, the Bloom Box 100kW fuel cell costs over $700,000, weighs over 20,000 lbs and is over 24 ft. in length, according to their marketing materials. The 100hp Cyclone engine we are currently developing, which would produce approximately 75kW of electric output, weighs just 125lbs, is 2 ft in diameter and height, and is expected to cost 10 times less to produce. Once again, these claims are based on our current beliefs and developmental testing, as we have not yet produced commercial products.

In the automotive world, the competition to develop an environmentally clean (zero emission) engine is being driven by increasingly stringent regulatory mandates. To date, Honda, Toyota and GM have made the most advances in bringing to market hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles that will meet current Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) requirements. However, the electric vehicles that these companies have introduced and continue to develop are currently suitable only for light load carrying small passenger vehicles.

In our opinion, hybrids are an attempt to stretch the technological life span of the I/C engine that is reaching a point of diminishing returns in terms of emissions and fuel efficiency improvement. Those electric vehicles that operate without the “auxiliary’ I/C engine and run solely on batteries or fuel cells have short operating ranges, making them suitable only for localized, low-speed areas like core metro areas or gated communities. In short, these vehicles, which are economically-viable due in part to government subsidies, may not ultimately be the types of cars that most Americans want to drive.

The following table summarizes the primary industries in which we plan to compete, and the competitive technologies in those industries, as well as some of the leading companies. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to compete successfully with these technologies or companies.

Patents and IP Protection

We currently have the following patents issued or allowed on our engine technology:

US Patents 

Heat Regenerative Engine (US Patent No. 7,080,512 B2)

Heat Regenerative Engine (Continuation) (US Patent No. 7,856,822 B2)

Steam Generator in a Heat Regenerative Engine (US Patent No. 7,407,382)

Engine Reversing and Timing Control Mechanism (US Patent No. 7,784,280 B2)

Centrifugal Condenser (US Patent No. 7,798,204 B2)

Valve Controlled Throttle Mechanism (US Patent No. 7,730,873 B2)

Pre-Heater Coil in a Heat Regenerative Engine (US Patent No 7,856,823 B2)

Spider Bearing (US Patent No. 7,900,454)

Waste Heat Engine (US Patent No. 7,992,386)

We pursue a rigorous patent strategy, pursuant to which (and subject to our available cash resources) we file patents in the U.S. for our engines, their individual components, and other innovations and inventions we develop. We also pursue patents internationally in countries where we believe we may have manufacturing or sales opportunities and/or competition. Despite these efforts, we cannot make assurances that our patents will not infringe on other patents throughout the world, that other groups will not try to infringe on our patents, and if either of these were to occur, that we would have the resources to defend our rights. If this were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We require all customers, suppliers and other partners to execute Non-Disclosure Agreements. We also require our employees and certain contractors to sign agreements that assign to us any innovations or discoveries they develop while working for us or working with our technology. Our license agreements contain similar assignment provisions. We feel that these efforts are satisfactory in protecting our technology with respect to people and companies with which we have direct business relationships.

Sources and availability of raw material

We purchase raw materials and components from multiple sources, none of which may be considered a principal or material supplier. If necessary we could replace these suppliers with minimal effect on our business operations.

Dependence on one or a few major customers

We currently have three primary contracts for development and licensing of our engine technology: Phoenix Power Group, Combilift and the U.S. Army / TARDEC. Because of the diversification of applications, uses and business models, and the current stage of our development / product sales cycle, we do not believe that the loss of one licensee or development partner would have a material adverse impact on our current or future operations. Additionally, we are actively pursuing other licensees and development partners in other product categories.

Governmental regulation

Our Products. Power systems generally are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that directly or indirectly impose standards governing emissions and noise. Our engines, when they will ultimately be installed in power systems, will be subject to compliance with all current emissions standards imposed by the EPA, state regulatory agencies in the United States, including CARB, and other regulatory agencies around the world and established for power systems utilized in applications such as electric generators or off-highway industrial equipment. EPA and CARB regulations imposed on engines utilized in industrial off-highway equipment generally serve to restrict emissions, with a primary focus on oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and hydrocarbons. Emission regulations for engines utilized in off-highway industrial equipment vary based upon the use of the equipment into which the engine is incorporated (such as stationary power generation or mobile off-highway industrial equipment), and the type of fuel used to drive the power system. Further, applicable emission thresholds differ based upon the gross power of an engine utilized in industrial off-highway equipment. Additionally, most emissions thresholds are designed for gasoline and diesel-powered “spark-ignited” internal combustion engines, and not external combustion engines like Cyclone’s engines. Therefore, we are not entirely certain as to how the EPA and other regulatory agencies will apply these rules to our technology.

Pursuant to the regulations of the EPA and CARB, we may be required to obtain emission compliance certification from the EPA and CARB to sell certain of our engines throughout the United States and in California. We may also be required to meet foreign emission regulations standards to sell certain of our engines internationally. Currently, the emission certification process for internal combustion engines with the EPA and CARB includes, among other requirements, durability testing of the engine emission system at zero and 5,000 hours, production line testing on a quarterly basis and field compliance audit testing. It is possible that each of our power systems could require this emission-certification before it can be introduced into commerce. We have not yet performed this testing on our engines to meet any existing emission standards of the EPA and CARB. Compliance with these regulations, as we find them to be applicable to our engines, will require considerable funds which the company does not currently have. Failure to comply with these standards could result in adverse effects on our future financial results.

Our markets can be positively or negatively impacted by the effects of governmental and regulatory matters. We are affected not only by energy policy, laws, regulations and incentives of governments in the markets into which we sell, but also by rules, regulations and costs imposed by utilities. Utility companies or governmental entities could place barriers on the installation of our product or the interconnection of the product with the electric grid. Further, utility companies may charge additional fees to customers who install on-site power generation, thereby reducing the electricity they take from the utility, or for having the capacity to use power from the grid for back-up or standby purposes. These types of restrictions, fees or charges could hamper the ability to install or effectively use our products or increase the cost to our potential customers for using our systems in the future. This could make our systems less desirable, thereby adversely affecting our revenue and profitability potential. In addition, utility rate reductions can make our products less competitive which would have a material adverse effect on our future operations. These costs, incentives and rules are not always the same as those faced by technologies with which we compete. However, rules, regulations, laws and incentives could also provide an advantage to our distributed generation solutions as compared with competing technologies if we are able to achieve required compliance at a lower cost when our engines are commercialized. Additionally, reduced emissions and higher fuel efficiency could help our future customers combat the effects of global warming. Accordingly, we may benefit from increased government regulations that impose tighter emission and fuel efficiency standards.
 

Our Operations. Our operations are also subject to numerous federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. We may be required to incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations in the future, and any failure to comply with such laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect upon our ability to do business.

In February 2009, the President of the United States signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA"). ARRA has dedicated billions of dollars towards clean energy research and deployment. Members of Congress introduced legislation in calendar 2009 and 2010 that may benefit us in the future. In addition, certain proposed changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may result in positive tax benefits for our end users. This proposed legislation targets combined heat and power and waste heat (CHP, otherwise called co-generation) and solar power. Government funding can impact the rate of development of new technologies.

Because of our work with the military, we have registered with the U.S. Department of State under its International Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR). We do not believe we develop, sell or export any covered munitions under these Regulations, but have registered the company in an abundance of precaution.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, we had 15 full-time employees including management, and one part-time employee. We consider our relations with our employees to be good. None of our employees are covered under any labor union or collective bargaining agreement.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

We currently operate in a leased warehouse facility owned by Schoell Marine, Inc., a company wholly-owned by our Chairman and CTO, Harry Schoell. Schoell Marine leases 6,000 sf of space to the company at approximately $12/sf, ($64,800 per year) which we believe to be at or around market rates for industrial space in the area. Our address is 601 NE 26th Ct., Pompano Beach, FL 33064. In 2012, we also extended a year-to-year lease with an unaffiliated third party for an additional 2,000 sf adjacent to our facility, for which we pay $1,400 per month in rent. We believe these facilities are in good condition, but we still may need to expand our operating space further as our research and development efforts expand.

Under our Joint Operations Agreement with Precision CNC, CWHE has agreed to sub-lease approximately 2,500 s.f. of office and warehouse space at their new facility in Lancaster, Ohio, for a monthly rent of $2,500, once operations there commence. This fee also includes some shared employees and other resources. We expect to have several of our production engineers and assembly technicians located at this facility, as well as dedicated CNC machines, inventory, and testing equipment. At this time, the facility in Lancaster is being completed for full move-in.

Overview 

The Company is engaged in the research and development of all-fuel, eco-friendly engine technologies. Several prototypes of these engines are nearing completion with one model currently expected to go into limited production in 2014. While the Company started to generate revenue from its operations as early as 2008, it has not had material or consistent revenue in each of the last two fiscal years. In order for the Company to maintain and expand its operations through the next 12 months, it will seek license and development agreements that provide up-front or progress payment revenue to the Company, and advance its plans to commence engines sales of the WHE by mid-year. We will also continue to raise capital by means of equity or debt offerings.

The Company experienced substantial growth from a business, corporate structural and technology standpoint in 2013. During this period, management set a solid foundation to accomplish the goal of bringing our first engine (the WHE) into manufacturing in 2014, thus positioning the Company to start generating consistent sales revenue this year. These achievements included:

As these accomplishments demonstrate, the transition into a manufacturing mode for the WHE has begun. Our budget for these operations in Ohio is approximately $60,000 per month; however, transferring these expenses to Ohio has also reduced our Florida expenses by about $30,000 per month. Based on the milestones set forth in our six and 18 month project plan, management is reasonably confident that sales for the limited first generation WHE will be approximately $2 million over the following 12 months – revenue through our subsidiary which will support the next mass manufacturing phase of product development.

The Company has also made headway in securing long-term funding to support the WHE commercialization project both in the private and public sectors. In February 2014, the Company received a commitment for the first $100,000 in project funding from a private investor. This party has indicated that he would fund up to another $500,000 if certain milestones are met, such as expanding our team in Ohio, establishing strong design engineering protocols, and meeting a development schedule that includes commencement of production of the first generation WHE engines in the next few months.

As the WHE project progresses in Ohio, the Company’s core R&D team in Florida has greater resources to complete several other important projects in 2014, including the U.S. Army / TARDEC engine, designed to be used as a 10kW auxiliary power unit (APU) for combat vehicles. This Phase 1 development program provided approximately $502,882 in revenue to the Company in 2013, based on accomplished milestones. We forecast an additional $150,000 in revenue from this contract when we deliver the S-2 engine, expected to be in April 2014. Management is now seeking follow-on funding from both military and commercial groups to advance the technology into Phase 2 for durability and performance enhancement.

With additional resources, our R&D team will also move towards completion of the Mark 5 project this year. This engine is to be delivered to Combilift for clean-burning material lift equipment, and used in Cyclone’s land speed record (LSR) streamliner to attempt a run for the fastest steam car on earth. With respect to the Combilifit contract, we are forecasting an additional $300,000 in revenue from the delivery of two Mark 5 engines to this customer this year. Management is also pursuing other major R&D contracts that both support and build-off of these two engine programs. This includes marine and renewable power applications.

Financing Transactions. The Company financed its operations in 2013 through revenue generated from the U.S. Army Contract, as well as multiple debt transactions. In August 2013, the Company closed a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the funder agreed to purchase up to $2,000,000 of senior secured redeemable debentures (the “Debentures”) over the following 12 months. In September, this party advanced $400,000 under a Debenture which bears simple interest at 12% per annum plus a 6% redemption premium, and matures in 12 months. The Company commenced interest and principal payments in December 2013, and has a current balance as of March 31, 2014 of $234,801, plus interest and other fees. The Company’s obligations under the Debentures are secured by a security agreement granting the funder an unconditional and continuing first priority security interest in the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets.

On June 6, 2013, the Company closed and received funding on a $226,000 convertible promissory note (the “Note”) with another funder. This Note bears 10% interest with a 9.1% Original Issuance Discount (OID), and matures in 15 months with monthly repayments of approximately $28,000 which started in November. The principal amount of the Note can be converted by the Company to common stock at a 30% discount to the three lowest weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock during the previous 23 trading days; or by the funder at a hard conversion floor price of $0.10 per share, subject to price protection provisions should the Company issue shares at a lower price. The Lender also received 565,625 five-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.10 per share, subject to price protection and cashless exercise provisions. As of March 31, 2014, because of these price protection provisions, this warrant was exercisable into approximately 2,587,685 shares at a price of $.012/share.

In 2013 and Q1 2014, the Company also engaged in several other convertible note transactions, which provided approximately $750,000 in new financing for our operations. These notes typically are convertible into common stock at anywhere between a 30% and 44% discount to closing prices of our common stock over a 10 to 20 day look back period. None of these notes were secured or contained any warrants.

Corporate Structural Actions.   From a corporate and structural stand-point, management has and will continue to take decisive steps to mature the Company to attract funding from investors with long range horizons and strategic partners who can add value from multiple directions. This type of funding is different from the convertible notes used to finance the Company over the last 18 months.

To strengthening the Company’s balance and capital structure, in Q1 2014 management converted a total of $1.6 million of deferred salaries and debt owed to affiliates of the Company since inception at an equivalent of $.08 per share. This action was meant to reduce liabilities and demonstrate management’s strong faith in the future of Cyclone.

The Company recently increased its authorized common stock to 900 million shares. Management will seek to use these shares to build long term value for Cyclone, including getting products to market, generating strong and consistent revenue, reducing debt on our books, and possibly acquiring companies that provide a diversified income stream and technology base. Along these lines, management is seeking strategic acquisitions in the areas of manufacturing and clean energy technologies with vertical synergies.

Stock for Services and Contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 13,881,401 shares of restricted common stock and amortized related warrants valued at a total of $975,987 for outside services, and 200,205 shares of restricted common stock valued at $14,000 for employee services. Additionally, the Company amortized (based on vesting) $146,616 of common stock options for employee services and issued 675,000 shares of restricted common stock in satisfaction of contracted and accrued officers salaries.

Research & Development. The Company invests considerably in the development of its technology. Over the years, these investments have led to over 30 patents and substantial progress towards the commercialization of its engine technology. For 2013, the Company’s R&D expenses were $772,795.

Commitments for Capital and Operational Expenditures. Should additional funding be secured, the Company could consider a significant purchase of facilities or equipment, and could increase the number of skilled and unskilled employees on payroll, including the recruitment of high level executive management and additional engineers and mechanical staff.

Critical Accounting Policies. The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates, assumptions and related expectations. Management believes that these estimates, assumptions and related expectations upon which we depend at the time are reasonable based upon information then available. These estimates, assumptions and related expectations affect the reported amounts of the balance sheet and income statement for the timeframe of the financial statements presented. To the degree that there are significant variances between these estimates and assumptions and actual results, there would be an effect on the financial statements. GAAP mandates specific accounting treatment in numerous situations and does not require management’s estimates and judgment in its application. Alternative accounting treatments, where available, based on management’s estimates and judgments would not produce a materially different result. The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Intangible assets, consisting primarily of patents, are deemed to be critical for the furtherance of the business objectives of the Company and its engine products. Impairment is not currently reflective, as the Company is developing its products and obtaining new contracts based on these engine patents.

Inventory for engine manufacturing is reviewed on an ongoing basis for obsolescence as engine designs are revised, with resultant charges to R&D.

For purposes of valuing stock based compensation, the Company uses market prices of its common stock as of the time of issuance. For purposes of valuing stock based compensation from common stock options, the Company uses the Black Scholes valuation method. This method requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding stock prices, stock volatility, dividend yields, expected exercise term and risk-free interest rates.

The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 74% owned subsidiary Cyclone-WHE and its 95% owned subsidiary Cyclone Performance. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2012

Revenues. The Company had total revenue of $715,382 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Revenue included $502,882 from the successful fulfillment of two milestones under the US Army Contract, $150,000 from the successful fulfillment of a key milestone of the Company’s amended license agreement with Phoenix Power Group, and recognition of $62,500 from the Company’s termination of its license agreement with Great Wall Power Systems in China. Revenue for 2012 was $1,133,531 from the fulfillment of the first two milestones on the U.S. Army Contract, and delivery of two engines pursuant to a development contract with Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems.  The decrease in annual revenue was $418,149 or 37%.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $150,496, as compared to gross profit of $483,041 in 2012, a $332,545 (69%) decrease.  Included in 2013 Cost of Goods Sold was $380,422 related to the Army contract and $184,464 related to the Phoenix Power Group license revenue. Included in 2012 Cost of Goods Sold was $428,582 related to the US Army Contract, $171,908 cost of the delivered Raytheon engines, and $50,000 pertaining to the Phoenix penalty payment.

Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $2,884,300 as compared to $3,383,689 for the same period in the previous year, a decrease of $499,389 (15%). The majority of the decrease was due to lower research and development expenses of $318,706 (29%) that were attributable to the testing phase of our engines in 2013 versus the development stage in 2012. General and administrative expenses were lower by $103,609 (5%) due to reduced expenditures and lower stock based payments for services.

Operating Loss. The operating losses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $2,733,804 and $2,900,648, respectively, a decreased loss of $166,844 or 6%, due to the factors outlined above.

Other Income (Expense). Net other expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was ($1,057,739) attributable to interest expense of $923,939, and $122,532 of losses related to derivative liability application to debt. This compares to a net other expense of ($100,369)  for the year ended December 31, 2012, inclusive of interest expenses of ($242,795), and  net of $114,626 in derivative related income from the retirement of the Phoenix Warrant.

Income and Earnings per Share. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $3,791,543, as compared to $3,001,017 for the same period in the previous year, an increased loss of $ 790,526 (26%). The increase was primarily a result of the added Other Expense in 2013 resulting from interest expenses, debt conversions and derivative liabilities. The resulting net loss per weighted average share for 2013 and 2012 was ($.02) and ($0.01), respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2013, the net working capital deficiency was $5,994,870, as compared to a deficiency of $3,363,256 at December 31, 2012, a deficiency increase of $2,631,614 or 79%.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, funds were primarily used by the net loss of ($3,791,543), repayment of $200,154 of debt and a reduction in deferred revenues of $ 210,400. Funds were provided by debt proceeds of $1,124,000, sale of common stock of $150,000, use of common stock and warrants to pay for services of $999,014, warrants issued pursuant to repayment of debt of $356,176, use of common stock contributed by officers of the Company for employee services of $145,600, a reduction in inventory of $151,886, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $407,655, and an increase in related party payables and debt of $373,327.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, funds were primarily used by the net loss of ($3,001,017), $541,906 for repayment of debt, a decrease in deferred revenue and license deposits of $412,536, and an increase in fixed assets of $269,575.  Funds were provided by the net sale of shares of common stock of $738,928, proceeds of $1,178,000 from promissory notes, and an increase in related party notes, payables and accruals of $437,346. Additionally, to conserve cash the Company issued 4,538,937 shares of common stock and 3,840,000 common stock options for services of $716,067, and amortized $505,967 of prepaid expenses paid with common stock, options and warrants – (non-cash charges to the Income Statement of $1.22 million in the year).  Also, the Company incurred a non-cash charge of $50,000 (paid with common stock) under its license with Phoenix Power.

Cash Flow Management Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company raised $1,124,000 through the issuance of a Senior Secured Debenture, and several convertible notes with multiple parties. The Company also reduced cash expenses in 2013 by issuing shares of restricted common stock and warrants valued at $975,987 for outside services, and 200,205 shares of restricted common stock and options valued at $212,543 for employee services.

Should plans to commence manufacturing of the WHE continue on schedule, we expect to generate approximately $2 million in engine sales over the following 12 months. We also forecast another $450,000 in revenue from the development contracts currently in place. If we are successful in these endeavors, the resulting gross revenue could support approximately 70% of our operations this year. Additionally, we have potential contracts in various stages of negotiation that could generate another $2 million in revenue over the following 12 to 24 months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in closing these new contracts, but we are cautiously optimistic that these or other opportunities will materialize in the coming quarters.

We have submitted approximately $1 million in grant (or grant-type) applications and proposals with the State of Ohio and other government offices, which could provide non-dilutive funding for our development.  With respect to our Ohio operations, our CWHE subsidiary was initially established to provide a corporate entity for our waste-to-power business, as well as another funding option for investors who prefer to invest in non-public companies.  We are actively seeking strategic partners and investors for this company, and believe that this strategy could be successful over the coming year in raising additional capital for both Cyclone and the subsidiary entity.

With respect to our Land Speed Record vehicle, we believe that this asset can also generate funding for Cyclone, especially when we start testing and running of the car. We have had interest from corporations and private investors in sponsoring or outright purchasing the vehicle, either of which could provide substantial funding to the Company.  The possibility of breaking the land speed record for steam power vehicles this year could also attract new strategic partners to provide development support and private investors to provide capital funding.

We expect cash flow needs to be approximately $140,000 per month during the next few months of 2014, including operations in Florida and Ohio.  We believe that monthly expenses will increase to approximately $200,000 by the end of 2014, as we put the WHE into limited scale production. At such time, however, we expect to have deposits and initial sales revenue from early adaptor customers for this engine. We are preparing for the likelihood that cash expenses of approximately $2.4 million in 2014 may exceed revenue for the year. This would require additional sale of securities or debt, which we are currently pursing.   No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain this capital on acceptable terms, if at all. In such an event, this may have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The Company’s auditors have issued a going concern opinion for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Management is optimistic, however, that revenue can be generated and funding can be secured to maintain operations and development at the current pace.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Audit Committee Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2013.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Report of Management on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 is effective.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is 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, regardless of how remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

None.

Mr. James Landon, a Director of the Company who was appointed to the position of Interim CEO in October 2012, resigned from that position and as a member of the Board of Directors for personal reasons effective March 6, 2013.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

We have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined. Mr. Schoell served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company since inception in 2004 until 2012 when he was appointed as Chief Technology Officer. The Company currently has no one serving as CEO. Christopher Nelson, as President, is the highest ranking non-Director executive officer.

Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our assessment of risks. The Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our Company and our Company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our Company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our Company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our Company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

The Company has an Audit Committee, however, the sole member of that committee, Mr. Landon, resigned for personal reasons in March 2013.  We expect to add members to this committee in the near future. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring and reviewing our financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, they recommend the selection of the independent auditors and consult with management and our independent auditors prior to the presentation of financial statements to shareholders and the filing of our forms 10-Q and 10-K. Our Board will choose new committee members who qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as defined under the federal securities laws. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities are set forth in the Company’s Charter of Corporate Governance, a copy of which is currently available from the Company and is posted on our web site.

The Company does not have a Compensation Committee, Nominating Committee or other committees at this time. We expect to create such committees in the future.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has adopted the definition of “independence” as described under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 301, Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) and NASDAQ Rules 4200 and 4350. Our Board of Directors has determined that only Mr. Mayersohn currently meets the independence requirements.
