Overview

Leo Motors, Inc.  is a  Nevada Corporation incorporated on September 8, 2004.  The Company established a wholly-owned operating subsidiary in Korea named Leo Motors, Co. Ltd. on July 1, 2006.  Through the subsidiary the Company is engaged in the research and development (“R&D”) of multiple products, prototypes and conceptualizations based on proprietary, patented and patent pending electric power generation, drive train and storage technologies.  Leo Motors, Co. Ltd. operates through four unincorporated divisions: new product research & development (“R&D”), post R&D development such as product testing; production; and sales.

The Company’s products (i) E-Box electric energy storage system for solar and wind power generation devices; (ii) EV components that integrate electric batteries with electric motors such as EV Controllers that use a mini-computer to control torque drive.



 
Leo Motors, Inc. (the "Company") was previously actively engaged in the process of development and production of Electric Power Train Systems (“EPTS”) encompassing electric scooters, electric sedans/SUVs/sports cars, and electric buses/trucks as well as several models of Electric Vehicle ("EV"). Our EPTS can replace internal combustion engines (“ICEs”).  Company began sales of EPTS to auto makers and agricultural machinery manufacturers.

The Company has developed eight EPTS of increasing power rating: 3kW, 5kW, 7.5kW, 15kW, 30kW, 60kW, 120kW, and 240kW systems.  Each EPTS consists of a motor, a controller, and a battery power pack with a battery management system (“BMS”).
 
The Company has successfully converted existing models of small cars (ICEs under 2,000cc), and also a 24 seat bus.  The Company has begun marketing its 60kW power train kits (for compact passenger cars and small trucks) and its 120kW kits (for ICE passenger cars, buses, and trucks under 5,000cc). The Company has developed a 240kW kit (for up to 10,000cc buses and trucks) as well, and is attempting to locate a strategic partner to fund the testing and production.  
 
The specific goals of the Company over the next twelve months include:
 
·           Focus on the capitalization of the Company;
·           Focus on the sale of the e-Box;
·           Complete the build out of the manufacturing plant for the e-Box;
·           Continue with R&D of our EV’s and related products as capital permits.
 
The E-Box can be used as an energy supplying device in an emergency situations or as a energy storage device for use by the military; municipal and industry; corporate; solar/wind power storage; electric coolers and heaters; yatchs or small ships. The E-Box is offered in three power classes: 1kw, 3kw and 5kw.  E-Boxes for 10kw and 550kw will be developed in the future.  The E-Box is environmentally friendly with high energy density due to the use of lithium-polymer battery.  The E-Box uses a multiple cell voltage balancing system via a battery management system (“BMS”).
 
Recent Business Developments

In the last year the Company has focused its development, marketing and sales efforts on the E-Box. The E-Box is an electric power storage box ranging from 3kW to 50kW for use in homes.

In 2012, the Company had agreed to a contract to provide solar module e-Box systems to sustainable housing projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The solar module system would be independent of the grid, solely relying on renewable solar energy as a source of electric power. Although the product has completed required testing, the delivery of the product has been delayed due to slow development in the project construction.  Due to political/regional instability in the DRC, the execution of this contract is not guaranteed.

The Company has also recently acquired a small share (2.84%) of LGM Co., Ltd. in Korea to penetrate the electric boat market.  LGM is a company focusing on developing electric boats.  In coming months, the Company is planning to work more closely with LGM and acquire more ownership as its capital permits.

Corporate History

Leo Motors, Inc, (the “Company”) was originally incorporated as Classic Auto Accessories, a California Corporation on July 2, 1986. The Company then underwent several name changes from FCR Automotive Group, Inc. to Shini Precision Machinery, Inc. to Simco America Inc. and then to Leo Motors. The Company had been


 
dormant since 1989, and effectuated a reverse merger on November 12, 2007 with Leozone Inc., a South Korean Company, which is the maker of electrical transportation devices. The merger essentially exchanges shares in Leo Motors, Inc. for shares in Leozone. As this is a reverse merger the accounting treatment of such is that of a combination of the two entities with the activity of Leozone, Inc. the surviving entity, going forward. The financial statements reflect the activity for all periods presented as if the merger had occurred January 1, 2007. Leozone has continued to operate as a separate subsidiary Leo Motors Co. Ltd. of Korea since that time.
  
Product Candidates

The Company’s products include (i) E-Box electric energy storage system for solar and wind power generation devices; (ii) EV components that integrate electric batteries with electric motors such as EV Controllers that use a mini-computer to control torque drive.

The Company has developed eight EPTS of increasing power rating: 3kW, 5kW, 7.5kW, 15kW, 30kW, 60kW, 120kW, and 240kW systems.  Each EPTS consists of a motor, a controller, and a battery power pack with a battery management system (“BMS”).

The Company has successfully converted existing models of small cars (ICEs under 2,000cc), and also a 24 seat bus.  The Company has begun marketing its 60kW power train kits (for compact passenger cars and small trucks) and its 120kW kits (for ICE passenger cars, buses, and trucks under 5,000cc). The Company has developed a 240kW kit (for up to 10,000cc buses and trucks) as well, and is attempting to locate a strategic partner to fund the testing and production.  

Business Strategy

The specific goals of the Company over the next twelve months include:
 
·Focus on the capitalization of the Company;
·Focus on the sale of the e-Box;
·Complete the build out of the manufacturing plant for the e-Box;
·Continue with R&D of our EV’s and related products as capital permits.

There can be no assurance that the Company will adhere to any of the above goals.
 
The E-Box can be used as an energy supplying device in an emergency situations or as a energy storage device for use by the military; municipal and industry; corporate; solar/wind power storage; electric coolers and heaters; yatchs or small ships. The E-Box is offered in three power classes: 1kw, 3kw and 5kw.  E-Boxes for 10kw and 550kw will be developed in the future.  The E-Box is environmentally friendly with high energy density due to the use of lithium-ion battery.  The E-Box uses a multiple cell voltage balancing system via a battery management system (“BMS”).

Marketing

We have directed our marketing of e-Box energy solutions to companies involved in the sustainable housing segment that requires efficient electric storage solutions based on wind and solar power.


 
The Company has marketed its 60kW power train kits (for compact passenger cars and small trucks) and its 120kW kits (for ICE passenger cars, buses, and trucks under 5,000cc). The Company has developed a 240kW kit (for up to 10,000cc buses and trucks) as well.

ITEM  1A.  RISK  FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision. If any of the possible adverse events described below actually occurs, our business, results of operations or financial condition would likely suffer. In such an event, the market price of our Common Stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
Risks Related to Our Business

Products that fail to meet specifications, are defective or that are otherwise incompatible with end uses could impose significant costs on us.

Products that do not meet specifications or that contain, or are perceived by our customers to contain, defects or that are otherwise incompatible with end uses could impose significant costs on us or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. If problems with nonconforming, defective or incompatible products occur after we have shipped such products, we could be adversely affected in several ways, including the following:

we may be required to replace product or otherwise compensate customers for costs incurred or damages caused by defective or incompatible product, and

we may encounter adverse publicity, which could cause a decrease in sales of our products.

The limited availability of raw materials or supplies could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our operations require raw materials that meet exacting standards. We generally have multiple sources of supply for our raw materials. However, only a limited number of suppliers are capable of delivering certain raw materials that meet our standards. Shortages may occur from time to time in the future. In addition, disruptions in transportation lines could delay our receipt of raw materials. Lead times for the supply of raw materials have been extended in the past. If our supply of raw materials is disrupted or our lead times extended, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our proprietary rights may not adequately protect our intellectual property and product candidates and if we cannot obtain adequate protection of our intellectual property and product candidates, we may not be able to successfully market our product candidates.
 
Our commercial success will depend in part on obtaining and maintaining intellectual property protection for our technologies and product candidates. We will only be able to protect our technologies and product candidates from unauthorized use by third parties to the extent that valid and enforceable patents cover them, or that other market exclusionary rights apply.

The patent positions of companies, like ours, can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles remain unresolved. No consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in such companies' patents has emerged to date in the United States. The general patent environment outside the United States also involves significant uncertainty. Accordingly, we cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or that the scope of these patent rights would provide a sufficient degree of future protection that would permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage with respect to these products and technology.
 
 

In addition, others may independently develop similar or alternative compounds and technologies that may be outside the scope of our intellectual property. Should third parties obtain patent rights to similar compounds or technology, this may have an adverse effect on our business.
 
If we fail to attract and retain senior management, consultants, advisors and scientific and technical personnel, our product development and commercialization efforts could be impaired.
 
Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our senior management and key scientific and technical personnel. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management or our scientific or technical staff may significantly delay or prevent the development of our product candidates and other business objectives by diverting management's attention to transition matters and identification of suitable replacements, if any, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
In addition, we believe that we will need to recruit additional executive management and scientific and technical personnel. There is currently intense competition for skilled executives and employees with relevant scientific and technical expertise, and this competition is likely to continue. The inability to attract and retain sufficient scientific, technical and managerial personnel could limit or delay our product development efforts, which would adversely affect the development of our product candidates and commercialization of our potential products and growth of our business.

We expect to expand our research, development, clinical research and marketing capabilities and, as a result, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could disrupt our operations.
 
We expect to have significant growth in expenditures, the number of our employees and the scope of our operations, in particular with respect to those potential products that we elect to commercialize independently or together with others. To manage our anticipated future growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems, expand our facilities and continue to train qualified personnel. Due to our limited resources, we may not be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations or train additional qualified personnel. The physical expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert our management and business development resources. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plan or disrupt our operations.

We have a history of losses and expect to continue to incur losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability.
 
We expect to incur additional losses for at least the next several years and cannot be certain that we will ever achieve profitability. As a result, our business is subject to all of the risks inherent in the development of a new business enterprise, such as the risk that we may not obtain substantial additional capital needed to support the expenses of developing our technology and commercializing our potential products; develop a market for our potential products; and/or attract and retain qualified management, technical and scientific staff.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Korea

The movement of Won against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may have a material adverse effect on us.
 
   The Won has fluctuated significantly against major currencies in recent years, especially as a result of the recent global financial crisis and the relatively speedy recovery of Korean economy therefrom.  The depreciation of Won against U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies typically results in a material increase in the cost of fuel and equipment purchased from overseas and the cost of servicing our foreign currency-denominated debt as the prices for substantially all of the fuel materials and a significant portion of the equipment we purchase are stated in currencies other than Won, generally in U.S. dollars. As a result, any significant depreciation of Won against the U.S. dollar or other major foreign currencies will have a material adverse effect on our profitability and results of operations.
 
 
 
Escalations in tensions with North Korea could have an adverse effect on us.
 
Relations between Korea and North Korea have been tense throughout Korea’s modern history. The level of tension between the two Koreas has fluctuated and may increase abruptly as a result of current and future events. In recent years, there have been heightened security concerns stemming from North Korea’s nuclear weapon and long- 
range missile programs and increased uncertainty regarding North Korea’s actions and possible responses from the international community. In December 2002, North Korea removed the seals and surveillance equipment from its Yongbyon nuclear power plant and evicted inspectors from the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency. In January 2003, North Korea renounced its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Since the renouncement, Korea, the United States, North Korea, China, Japan and Russia have held numerous rounds of six party multi-lateral talks in an effort to resolve issues relating to North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.
 
There can be no assurance that the level of tension on the Korean peninsula will not escalate in the future. Any further increase in tensions, which may occur, for example, if North Korea experiences a leadership crisis, high-level contacts break down or military hostilities occur, could have a material adverse effect on our operations and the market value of our common stock.
 
You may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us.

A significant portion of the assets of our directors and officers named in this Form 10-K and substantially all of our assets are located in Korea. As a result, it may not be possible for you to enforce against them or us in the United States judgments obtained in United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Korea, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated on the United States federal securities laws.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Our competitors may develop products that are less expensive, safer or more effective, which may diminish or eliminate the commercial success of any potential products that we may commercialize.
 
If our competitors market products that are less expensive, safer or more effective than our future products developed from our product candidates, or that reach the market before our product candidates, we may not achieve commercial success.  The market may choose to continue utilizing the existing products for any number of reasons, including familiarity with or pricing of these existing products. The failure of any of our product candidates to compete with products marketed by our competitors would impair our ability to generate revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our future business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We expect to compete with several companies and our competitors may:
 
 
• 
develop and market products that are less expensive or more effective than our future products;
     
 
• 
commercialize competing products before we or our partners can launch any products developed from our product candidates;
     
 
• 
operate larger research and development programs or have substantially greater financial resources than we do;
     
 
• 
initiate or withstand substantial price competition more successfully than we can;
     
 
• 
have greater success in recruiting skilled technical and scientific workers from the limited pool of available talent;
     
 
• 
more effectively negotiate third-party licenses and strategic relationships; and
     
 
• 
take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities more readily than we can.
 
 
 
Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The stock market, particularly in recent years, has experienced significant volatility. Factors that could cause this volatility in the market price of our Common Stock include:
 
 
• 
failure or discontinuation of any of our research;
     
 
• 
delays in establishing new strategic relationships;
     
 
• 
delays in the development or commercialization of our potential products;
     
 
• 
market conditions and issuance of new or changed securities analysts' reports or recommendations;
     
 
• 
actual and anticipated fluctuations in our financial and operating results;
     
 
• 
developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;
     
 
• 
introduction of technological innovations or new commercial products by us or our competitors;
     
 
• 
issues in manufacturing our potential products;
     
 
• 
third-party healthcare reimbursement policies;
     
 
• 
litigation or public concern about the safety of our product candidates; and
     
 
• 
additions or departures of key personnel.
 
These and other external factors may cause the market price and demand for our Common Stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of Common Stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our Common Stock. In the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management.

We have not and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock.
 
We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date and it is not anticipated that any dividends will be paid to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, it is currently anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.
 
We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, this can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairing its ability grow.
 
We are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”).  The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC (including reporting of the Merger) and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our expenses to be higher than they would have been if we had remained privately held.
 
 
 
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud.  Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our Common Stock.
 
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.  As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital.  We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical un-discovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement.
 
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies.  As a public company, we expect these new rules and regulations to increase our compliance costs in 2014 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly.  As a public company, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage.  As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

The limited trading market for our common stock results in limited liquidity for shares of our common stock and significant volatility in our stock price.
 
Although prices for our shares of common stock are quoted on the Pink OTC Markets (“OTCQB”), there is little current trading and no assurance can be given that an active public trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.  The OTCQB is generally regarded as a less efficient and less prestigious trading market than other national markets.  There is no assurance if or when our common stock will be quoted on another more prestigious exchange or market.  Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders.  The absence of an active trading market reduces the liquidity of our common stock.

The market price of our stock is likely to be highly volatile because for some time there will likely be a thin trading market for the stock, which causes trades of small blocks of stock to have a significant impact on our stock price.  As a result of the lack of trading activity, the quoted price for our common stock on the OTCQB is not necessarily a reliable indicator of its fair market value.  Further, if we cease to be quoted, holders of our common stock would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our common stock, and the market value of our common stock would likely decline.
  
Our Common Stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.
 
Our Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act.  The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years).  These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances.  Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited.  If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities.  If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
 
 
 
 Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
 
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market upon the expiration of any statutory holding period, under Rule 144, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our Common Stock could fall.  The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

Overview

Leo Motors, Inc.  is a  Nevada Corporation incorporated on September 8, 2004.  The Company established a wholly-owned operating subsidiary in Korea named Leo Motors, Co. Ltd. on July 1, 2006.  Through the subsidiary the Company is engaged in the research and development (“R&D”) of multiple products, prototypes and conceptualizations based on proprietary, patented and patent pending electric power generation, drive train and storage technologies.  Leo Motors, Co. Ltd. operates through four unincorporated divisions: new product research & development (“R&D”), post R&D development such as product testing; production; and sales.

The Company’s products (i) E-Box electric energy storage system for solar and wind power generation devices; (ii) EV components that integrate electric batteries with electric motors such as EV Controllers that use a mini-computer to control torque drive.

Leo Motors, Inc. (the "Company") was previously actively engaged in the process of development and production of Electric Power Train Systems (“EPTS”) encompassing electric scooters, electric sedans/SUVs/sports cars, and electric buses/trucks as well as several models of Electric Vehicle ("EV"). Our EPTS can replace internal combustion engines (“ICEs”).  Company began sales of EPTS to auto makers and agricultural machinery manufacturers.

The Company has developed eight EPTS of increasing power rating: 3kW, 5kW, 7.5kW, 15kW, 30kW, 60kW, 120kW, and 240kW systems.  Each EPTS consists of a motor, a controller, and a battery power pack with a battery management system (“BMS”).
 
The Company has successfully converted existing models of small cars (ICEs under 2,000cc), and also a 24 seat bus.  The Company has begun marketing its 60kW power train kits (for compact passenger cars and small trucks) and its 120kW kits (for ICE passenger cars, buses, and trucks under 5,000cc). The Company has developed a 240kW kit (for up to 10,000cc buses and trucks) as well, and is attempting to locate a strategic partner to fund the testing and production.  
 
The specific goals of the Company over the next twelve months include:
 
·           Focus on the capitalization of the Company;
·           Focus on the sale of the e-Box;
·           Complete the build out of the manufacturing plant for the e-Box;
·           Continue with R&D of our EV’s and related products as capital permits.
 
The E-Box can be used as an energy supplying device in an emergency situations or as a energy storage device for use by the military; municipal and industry; corporate; solar/wind power storage; electric coolers and heaters; yatchs or small ships. The E-Box is offered in three power classes: 1kw, 3kw and 5kw.  E-Boxes for 10kw and 550kw will be developed in the future.  The E-Box is environmentally friendly with high energy density due to the use of lithium-polymer battery.  The E-Box uses a multiple cell voltage balancing system via a battery management system (“BMS”).
 
Recent Business Developments

The Company has focused its development, marketing and sales efforts on the E-Box. The E-Box is an electric power storage box ranging from 3kW to 50kW for use in homes.

In 2012, the Company had agreed to a contract to provide solar module e-Box systems to sustainable housing projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The solar module system would be independent of the grid, solely relying on renewable solar energy as a source of electric power. Although the product has completed required testing, the delivery of the product has been delayed due to slow development in the project construction. Due to political/regional instability in the DRC, the execution of this contract is not guaranteed.
 
 

The Company has also recently acquired a small share (2.84%) of LGM Co., Ltd. in Korea to penetrate the electric boat market.  LGM is a company focusing on developing electric boats.  In coming months, the Company is planning to work more closely with LGM and acquire more ownership as its capital permits.

Results of Operations for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2013 compared to the Twelve Months Ended Decembers 31, 2012
  
Sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $0 compared to $25,605 for the year ended December, 2012. Costs of sales were $0 and gross profit was $0 in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $23,786 as costs of sales and gross profit of $1,819 in the same period in 2012.The decrease in sales for the most recent fiscal year is attributable to decrease in the sales of merchandise reflecting current market conditions. The Company is currently involved in projects designed to expand its reach into new markets.
 
Operating Expenses
 
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $882,541 in expenses, compared to $2,925,023 in the period ended December 31, 2012. The increase in expenses for this current year is attributable to a decrease in salaries and benefits as detailed in the table below. With zero sales in the current year the company dramatically scaled back wages.  Selling, general and administrative cost remained relatively stable between 2013 and 2012.
  
Expenses for the fiscal year 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following:

Other Income (Expenses)

During the year ended December 31, 2013 the company had net non operating expense of $362,062 and for the year ended December 31, 2012  net non operating income of $1,058,582, a decrease of $1,420,644. During the 2012 fiscal year the Company had a net non operating income largely from the result of the forgiveness of debt  for $1,309,028.  There were also stock sold for a profit of $52,893. These gains were offset in part by interest expense of $136,775 in 2013 and $197,634 in 2012 and miscellaneous items.

 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity and capital resources are limited. Accordingly, our ability to initiate our plan of operations and continue as a going concern is currently dependent on our ability to either generate significant new revenues or raise external capital through additional borrowing or the sale of additional equity.

The Company’s total assets at December 31, 2013 were $258,958 and total current liabilities were $1,653,390, all of which were current.  Significant losses from operations have been incurred since inception and there is an accumulated deficit of $(16,878,568) as of December 31, 2013.  Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon attaining capital to achieve profitable operations while maintaining current fixed expense levels.

The financial statements are included herein commencing on page F-1.
 
ITEM  9.  CHANGES  IN  AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON  ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL  DISCLOSURES

Effective August 14, 2012 the Company dismissed its former certified public accountant Stan Jeong-Ha Lee, CPA, (“SL”) effective immediately.  On August 14, 2012, the Company engaged John Scrudato CPA (“Scrudato”) as its registered independent public accountant.  We decided to hire Scrudato in the hopes that it would expedite bringing the Company current in its filings with the SEC. The decision to appoint Scrudato and dismiss SL were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
 
Other than the disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability for us to continue as a going concern, SL’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In connection with the audit and review of the financial statements of the Company through March 31, 2012, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with SL’s opinion to the subject matter of disagreement.
 
The Company engaged Scrudato effective August 14, 2012 to review its Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.  At this time, there have been no prior discussions with Scrudato concerning internal controls and other accounting matters with respect to all accounting matters prior to matters concerning the 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, or any other matter or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
 
SL invoiced the Company on July 20, 2012 for $32,642.34 for new services rendered to the Company beginning January 11, 2012 through July 20, 2012.  The Company previously paid SL approximately $48,000 on account for past services of which $8,267.00 was credited towards the new services invoiced on July 20, 2012.  Inclusive in the $32,642.50 invoice from SL dated July 20, 2012 was $5,000 due in connection with work on the Company’s 10-Q for the 2nd quarter ended June 30, 2012 which following
 
 
 
SL’s dismissal on August 14, 2012 was reviewed by Scrudato.  The Company does not dispute the $32,642.34 due SL, but it is unable to pay this amount at this time.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our principal financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. There was no change in our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during our last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our CEO and our CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective such that material information required to be disclosed is made known to management and others, as appropriate, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure and that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
 
Management’s Annual 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) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
  
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
 
Our management, with the participation of the CEO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the CEO, concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective and there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.  A material  weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal  control  over  financial  reporting  such  that  there is a reasonable possibility  that  a  material  misstatement  of our annual or interim financial statements  will  not  be  prevented  or  detected  on  a  timely  basis.

The  material weaknesses relate to the limited number of persons responsible for the  recording and reporting of financial information, the lack of separation of financial  reporting  duties,  and  the  limited  size of our management team in general.  We  are  in  the  process evaluating methods of improving our internal control  over  financial reporting, including the possible addition of financial reporting  staff  and  the  increased  separation  of  financial  reporting responsibility, and intend to implement such steps as are necessary and possible to  correct  these  material  weaknesses.
 
 

This annual report 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 attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors and Stockholders
Leo Motors, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Leo Motors, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, 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 the 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 controls over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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 based on our audit, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Leo Motors, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7, the Company has incurred significant losses since inception of $16,871,850. This and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LEO MOTORS, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012
(Audited)

NOTE 1 - COMPANY BACKGROUND
  
Company Business
  
Company is currently in development, assembly and sales of the energy storage devices and electric vehicle components.
  
Background
  
Leo Motors, Inc, (the “Company”) was originally incorporated as Classic Auto Accessories, a California Corporation on July 2, 1986. The Company then underwent several name changes from FCR Automotive Group, Inc. to Shini Precision Machinery, Inc. to Simco America Inc. and then to Leo Motors. The Company had been dormant since 1989, and effectuated a reverse merger on November 12, 2007 with Leozone Inc., a South Korean Company, which is the maker of electrical transportation devices. The merger essentially exchanges shares in Leo Motors, Inc. for shares in Leozone. As this is a reverse merger the accounting treatment of such is that of a combination of the two entities with the activity of Leozone, Inc. the surviving entity, going forward. The financial statements reflect the activity for all periods presented as if the merger had occurred January 1, 2007. Leozone has continued to operate as a separate subsidiary Leo Motors Co. Ltd. of Korea since that time.
  
On February 11, 2010, the Company acquired 50% of Leo B&T Corp.,(“B&T”) a Korean Corporation, from two shareholders of B&T in exchange for 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This percentage was reduced to 30% in 2011. Additionally, this investment was written down through an impairment expense  during 2011 and the remaining investment was exchanged in 2012 for a return of Leo Motors stock.

On November 10, 2012 the Company and  PDI C&D/RDC SPRL Inc. ("PDI"), an affiliate of PDI Global LLC, a major architectural design company in the U.S., have signed a contract to supply an independent solar power system grafted with Leo Motors' E-Box power storage device for a housing project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC"). The Company will have a 10% interest in the overall project.

 
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  
This summary of significant account policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and the notes are the representation of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“USGAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
  
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
  
These financial statements and related notes are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Leo Motors Co. Ltd. Korea where the Parent Company has significant control with a shareholders ownership percentage of 47.63 % at the end of December 31, 2012 and an ownership percentage of 51.42% at the end of 2011, respectively. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
  
Use of Estimates
  
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
 
F-6

 

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
  
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable inventory and prepaid expenses, accounts payable and deferred revenues, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
  
Revenue Recognition
  
The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company.
  
The Company generates revenue from the delivery of goods and records revenues when the sales are completed, already collected or collectability is reasonably assured, there is no future obligation and there is remote chance of future claim or refund to the customers.
  
Revenue is recognized when risk of ownership and title pass to the buyer, generally upon the delivery of professional services. Pricing is fixed and determinable according to the Company’s published brochures and price lists.
  
Accounts Receivables
  
Accounts receivables of the Company are reviewed to determine if their carrying value has become impaired.
  
The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the balances are greater than one-year old. Management regularly reviews accounts receivable and will establish an allowance for potentially uncollectible amounts when appropriate. When accounts are written off, they will be charged against the allowance.
  
Receivables are not collateralized and do not bear interest.
  
Cash Equivalents
  
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalent.
  
Fixed Assets
  
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).
  
The Company will periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. We use an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.
 
 
F-7

 
 
Intangible and Long Lived Assets

The Company follows ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Through December 31, 2011, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.
 
Income Taxes
  
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year; and, (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
  
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under ASC 740-10 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. A liability (including interest and penalties, if applicable) is established to the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position. Related interest and penalties, if any, are included as components of income tax expense and income taxes payable.

Loss per Share
  
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of both common and preferred stock outstanding for the period.

Stock-Based Compensation
  
SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” establishes and encourages the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as of the date of grant and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered. For stock based compensation the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant. Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Foreign Currency Translation And Comprehensive Income

The reporting currency of the Company is the US$. The functional currency of the parent company is the US$ and the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiary is Korean Won (“KRW”). The subsidiary’s results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the year, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the year, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the functional currency financial statements into US$ are included in determining comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. The Company does not enter any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06,  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements  (“ASU No. 2010-06”). The new standard addresses, among other things, guidance regarding activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Portions of ASU No. 2010-06 that relate to the Level 3 activity disclosures became effective for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
On March 5, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815 “Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.” This ASU clarifies the guidance within the derivative literature that exempts certain credit related features from analysis as potential embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. The ASU specifies that an embedded credit derivative feature related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is not subject to bifurcation from a host contract under ASC 815-15-25, “ Derivatives and Hedging — Embedded Derivatives — Recognition. ” All other embedded credit derivative features should be analyzed to determine whether their economic characteristics and risks are “clearly and closely related” to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and whether bifurcation is required. The ASU became effective for the Company on July 1, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 which was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements.  This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income . ASU 2011-05 revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 220, Comprehensive Income , and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 which defers the requirement in ASU 2011-05 that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 which provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test for goodwill impairment.  If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required.  Otherwise, no further testing is required. The revised standard is effective for the Company for its annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
  
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) according to the provisions of ASC Topic 260, which requires the presentation of basic EPS and, for companies with complex capital structures, diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted by other changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares, by the weighted number of common shares and common share equivalents (unless their effect is antidilutive) outstanding. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be antidilutive. Thus, these equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share, resulting in basic and diluted loss per share being equal. The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN

As reported in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficits of $16,871,850 as of December 31, 2013. The Company's stockholders' deficit at December 31, 2013 was $518,320 and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,394,432 on December 31, 2013. These negative trends have been consistent over the last few years except for asset sales.

These factors  create  uncertainty  about  the  Company's  ability  to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable and to create operations that contribute capital from normal operations. If the Company is unable  to  obtain  adequate  capital  it  could  be  forced  to  cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, develop and generate revenues and achieve a  profitable  level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the  Company  include  (1) raising additional capital through sales of common stock, (2) converting  promissory notes into  common  stock  and (3) entering into acquisition agreements  with profitable  entities  with   significant   operations.   In   addition, management is continually seeking to streamline its operations and expand the business through a variety of industries, including real estate and financial management. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.  The accompanying   consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC Topic 280 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company operated in one reportable business segment: the sale and manufacture of specialized electric vehicle. The Company's reportable segment is a strategic business unit that offers its product.
