LEO MOTORS, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2011

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The consolidated balance sheet of Leo Motors Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2011, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, have not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to properly reflect the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2011, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.


Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for an entire year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes to financial statements included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.



NOTE 2 NATURE OF OPERATIONS


Company Business


The Company, through its operating subsidiary Leo Motors, Co. Ltd., a Korean Company (“Leozone”), is in the business of developing and marketing Electric Vehicles (“EVs”) and EV components.  The Company’s current operations consist of testing and developing production capability of EV Power Train Systems as well as several models of EV.


Corporate Background


Leo Motors, Inc, 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 Shinil Precision Machinery, Inc. to Simco America Inc. and then to Leo Motors. The Company had been dormant since 1989, and on November 12, 2007 acquired Leozone (then Leozone Co., Ltd.) as its operating company. The acquisition exchanged shares in Leo Motors, Inc. for shares in Leozone.  As this is a reverse acquisition the accounting treatment is that of a combination of the two entities with the activity of Leozone prior to the acquisition, and Leo Motors, Inc. going forward. The financial statements reflect the activity for all periods presented as if the acquisition had occurred January 1, 2007.


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.

NOTE 3 SUMMAY 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., a Korean Company, where the Company is the controlling shareholder.  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.


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 receivable of the Company are reviewed to determine if their carrying value has become impaired.




Page 8


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.


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.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Impact of New Accounting Standards


The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.



NOTE 4 EARNINGS PER SHARE


Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.



NOTE 5 – INVENTORY


The Company accounts for its inventory under the FIFO method and lower of cost or market method of costing.  The company's inventory consists of parts for the electric transportation industry. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, inventory consisted of:

The Company has not established any profitable operations to cover its operating costs. The Company will engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured or profitability is returned. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek debt/equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

WE UNDERTAKE NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE PUBLICLY ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT.


This Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Financial Statements”).  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (“GAAP”).  Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following management discussion and analysis are quoted in United States dollars.


Overview


Leo Motors, Inc. (the "Company") is currently 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”).  We have begun sales of our EPTS to auto makers and agricultural machinery manufacturers.


During the last two years, we have been developing 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:


-

Market e-Boxes in USA, Japan and Australia

-

Developing mass production facilities for power trains and BMS

-

Finalizing the development of ZAFCG to be used in EV by September 2011, and developing mass production plant to produce ZAFCG by December 2011.

-

Finishing the development of the 240kW system by May 2011.

-

Developing large scale clients for our EPTS and components

Recent Business Developments


In the last six months, the Company has been developing an electric car model for an auto manufacturer. We intend to finalize the working prototype during August 2011.  The development is at the request of the manufacturer and is not subject to any definitive agreement; however, we believe that the potential for sales of our EPTS upon successful development of the project outweighs the risk of undertaking the development.


The Company has delivered the electric tractor using max 60kW power train to Tong Yang, one of the major Agricultural Machinery Brands in Korea. After proper tests, Tong Yang may order 60kW EPTS and our engineering services.


We have developed and delivered an electric tractor at the request of Tong Yang using our 60kW EPTS.  After proper tests, Tong Yang may order 60kW EPTS and our engineering services.  This project is in the initial testing phase, and we do not have a definitive material agreement to sell our EPTS or conversion services at this time.


We have also developed the E-Box, electric power storage ranging from 3kW to 50kW for use in homes.  This project took on additional importance to the Company because of the unprecedented natural disaster in Japan.  Leo is marketing the device in the US and Japan and expects to begin sales in the third quarter of 2011.  


The Company also has developed its Zinc Air Fuel Cell Generator (“ZAFC”) to be used as range extender for EVs.  ZAFC was further developed to reduce size, weight and increase efficiency in order to move forward commercialization. The Company has successfully conducted the paid research from one of the largest oil field development companies, and found the opportunity that ZAFC can be used as a generator in many industrial sectors as well as backup generator for cars.


The Company appointed two marketing partners in 2011.  The Company entered into an agreement with Claessens Consulting Compagnie (“CCC”) in the Netherlands (http://www.cccompagnie.com).  CCC will represent Leo in Europe, Middle East and Russia, and will develop the markets in these regions.  And the Company started its business in Australia as it appointed Mr. Wayne Draper who is a management member of the Company.  Mr. Draper is developing Leo's e-Box and electric bike businesses in Australia.


The Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to license its technology to Shenzhen Rui Li Da Shebei Limited (“SRLDS”), a Chinese company.  Pursuant to the MOU, Leo will share its 56 patented technologies with SRLDS, and SRLDS will pay approximately $6 million USD to Leo for the rights.  Using Leo’s technology, SRLDS will set up an Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant in Beijing, initially investing approximately $25 million USD.  Leo will also invest approximately $3 million USD to the new plant after receiving the $6 million USD from SRLDS.  When the new plant is operational, Leo will be able to supply the major components of the EV power train including high power electric motors, battery power packs with battery management system, and power controllers.  


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our liquidity requirements arise principally from our plans to develop EV production capability, additional product development, and marketing costs.  Although in the future we intend to fund our liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand and revenues from operations, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company had realized a net loss of (206,052) from operations.  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.



Page 13


Our monthly operating cost including salaries and general expense is currently approximately $150,000, as we focus on our e-Bikes and power trains.  


Our long term survival will depend on the growth of our operations towards full scale manufacturing and sales of our EVs, which in turn will depend on our ability to raise sufficient financing.  If our fund raising efforts should fail or fall short of our goal, we will have to restructure our business plan in order to sustain our operations.  However, in that event we may be unable to implement our business plan or continue operations.


Results of Operations


Revenues


Sales for the Six Months ended June 30, 2011 were $252,555 compared to $566,622 for the Six Months ended June 30, 2010.  Costs of sales were $219,112 and gross profit was $33,443 in 2011 compared to $480,158 and $86,464 as costs of sales and gross profit in the same period in 2010.  Neither period’s sales represent sales from recurring business, but rather sales of samples and development services.  Our primary recurring business comes from sales of electric scooters to our Korean distributor, which occurred in mass in 2010 and did not recur in the first or second quarter of 2011.  


Expenses


During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred $296,181 in expenses, compared to $3,159,080 in the period ended June 30 2010. The primary decrease was due to payment of Salaries and Benefits to the Board of Directors paid in Stock in February 2010.  Expenses in each category decreased due to the higher development costs in 2010.
