Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations, Risks, and Uncertainties

American Power Group Corporation (together with its subsidiaries “we”, “us” or “our”) was originally founded in 1992 and has operated as a Delaware corporation since 1995.

Recent Developments

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, an existing shareholder and investors affiliated with members of our Board of Directors loaned us $565,000 under short term 10% promissory notes which were subsequently converted, along with an existing $50,000 loan from an officer into the January 2017 private placement noted below.

On January 27, 2017, we issued $2.6 million of 10% Subordinated Contingent Convertible Promissory Notes to several existing shareholders, members of management and investors affiliated with members of our Board of Directors. We may issue up to $395,000 in additional notes under the terms of this private placement. These notes are automatically convertible, subject to shareholder approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 350 million to a minimum of 600 million, into shares of a new proposed Series E 12.5% Convertible Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $100,000 per share. Each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock would be convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. Upon the conversion of the notes into shares of Series E Preferred Stock, we will issue to each investor a ten-year warrant to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten times the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, exercisable at $0.10 per share.

Concurrent with the closing of the financing, Neil Braverman became our new Chairman of the Board of Directors replacing Maurice Needham who will remain as a Director. Matthew Van Steenwyk was appointed by the Board of Directors as Lead Strategic Director with more direct focus on helping to optimize the strategic marketing initiatives for the Company.

In connection with this financing, WPU Leasing, LLC agreed on January 27, 2017, to defer all current and future cash interest and principal payments due under approximately $1.8 million of notes until such time as our Board of Directors determines we are in a position to resume normal payments but no later than such time as we are EBITDA positive at a Corporate level for two consecutive quarters. In addition, WPU amended its notes, effective as of December 1, 2016 to reduce the current normal interest rate from 22.2% to 15% and eliminate the penalty interest provision. On January 27, 2017, in consideration of WPU agreements and waivers we issued WPU’s members ten year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,538,172 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share.

As of February 2017, we have an industry-leading 503 overall approvals from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) including 47 approvals for engine families with SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology. We believe that of the approximately 2 million Class 8 trucks operating in North America, an estimated 600,000 to 700,000 Class 8 trucks fall into the Inside Useful Life designation. We have also received State of California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) Executive Order Certifications for Volvo/Mack D-13/MP8 (2010-2013), Cummins ISX (2010-2012) and Detroit Diesel DD15 (2010-2012) engine models for the heavy-duty diesel engine families ranging from 375HP to 600HP.

Nature of Operations, Risks, and Uncertainties

Dual Fuel Technology Subsidiary - American Power Group, Inc.

Our patented dual fuel conversion system is a unique external fuel delivery enhancement system that converts existing diesel engines into more efficient and environmentally friendly engines that have the flexibility, depending on the circumstances, to run on:

Our proprietary technology seamlessly displaces up to 75% (average displacement ranges from 40% to 65%) of the normal diesel fuel consumption with various forms of natural gas. Installation requires no engine modification, unlike the more expensive fuel injected alternative fuel systems in the market.

By displacing highly polluting and expensive diesel fuel with inexpensive, abundant and cleaner burning natural gas, a user can:

Primary end market applications include both primary and back-up diesel generators as well as heavy-duty vehicular diesel engines.

Wellhead Gas Flare Capture and Recovery Services Division - Trident NGL Services a division of American Power Group, Inc.

When oil is extracted from shale, a mixture of hydrocarbon gases (methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane and other heavy gases) reach the surface at each well site. These gases are either gathered in low-pressure pipelines for downstream natural gas liquids (“NGL”) and methane extraction by large mid-stream processing companies or flared into the atmosphere when the gas-gathering infrastructure is too far away (remote well sites) or the pipeline is insufficient to accommodate the volumes of associated gas (stranded well sites). Many areas in North America are facing significant state imposed penalties and restrictions associated with the elimination of flared well head gas by oil and gas production companies.

In August 2015, we entered the flare gas capture and recovery business through a relationship with Trident Resources, LLC whereby they exclusively licensed to us their proprietary next generation NGL compression/refrigeration process. The proprietary Trident NGL capture and recovery process captures and converts a higher percent of the gases at these remote and stranded well sites, with its mobile and modular design when compared to other competitive capture technologies. NGL’s can be sold to a variety of end markets for heating, emulsifiers, or as a combined NGL liquid called Y Grade that can be sold to midstream companies who separate the liquids into their final commodities.

The majority of the remaining associated gas is comprised of methane which is currently not sold but, if further processed, can produce pipeline grade natural gas for use in stationary and vehicular engines utilizing APG’s Fueled By Flare™ dual fuel solution. This process is designed to capture and separate the methane flare in order to produce a premium quality natural gas capable of being compressed and used for many natural gas applications including both stationary and vehicular APG dual fuel conversions.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, operations from our NGL Division were $0.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

As of December 31, 2016, we had $0 cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $2,017,038. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes we will continue as a going concern and that contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We continue to incur recurring losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern unless we secure additional capital to fund our operations as well as implement initiatives to reduce our cash burn in light of lower diesel/natural gas price spreads and the impact it has had on our business as well as the slower than anticipated ramp of our flare capture and recovery business. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

Management understands that our continued existence is dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow, achieve profitability on a sustained basis and generate improved performance. Based on the information discussed below, including the $2.6 million of additional capital received between November 2016 and January 2017, our fiscal 2017 operating plan, the cash saving initiatives that have been implemented below and anticipated cash flows from operations, we believe we will have sufficient resources to satisfy our cash requirements through the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In order to ensure our future viability beyond that point, management has implemented or is in the process of implementing the following actions:

A. 10% Contingent Convertible Promissory Notes and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, an existing shareholder and investors affiliated with members of our Board of Directors loaned us $565,000 under short term 10% promissory notes which were subsequently converted, along with an existing $50,000 loan from an officer into the January 2017 private placement noted below.

On January 27, 2017, we issued $2.6 million of 10% Subordinated Contingent Convertible Promissory Notes to several existing shareholders, members of management and investors affiliated with members of our Board of Directors. We may issue up to $395,000 in additional notes under the terms of this private placement. These notes are automatically convertible, subject to shareholder approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 350 million to a minimum of 600 million, into shares of a new proposed Series E 12.5% Convertible Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $100,000 per share. Each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock would be convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. Upon the conversion of the notes into shares of Series E Preferred Stock, we will issue to each investor a ten-year warrant to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten times the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, exercisable at $0.10 per share.

B. Deferment of WPU Leasing Payments and Cash Dividend Payments

In connection with the financing discussed above, WPU Leasing, LLC agreed to defer all current and future cash interest and principal payments due under approximately $1.8 million of notes until such time as our Board of Directors determines we are in a position to resume normal payments but no later than such time as we are EBITDA positive at a Corporate level for two consecutive quarters. In addition, WPU amended its notes, effective as of December 1, 2016, to reduce the current normal interest rate from 22.2% to 15% and eliminate the penalty interest provision. On January 27, 2017, in consideration of WPU agreements and waivers, we issued WPU’s members ten year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,538,172 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share. These changes will reduce our cash outflow commitments by approximately $760,000 on an annual basis.

Our Board of Directors has determined that our cash resources are not currently sufficient to permit the payment of cash dividends with respect of our Convertible Preferred Stock and suspended the payment of cash dividends, commencing with the dividend payable on September 30, 2015. During the three months ended December 31, 2016 certain stockholders agreed to accept shares of Common Stock valued at approximately $229,000 in lieu of cash dividend representing 68% of all dividends due during the period. Since September 30, 2015, we have issued shares of our Common Stock valued at approximately $2 million in lieu of cash dividends and have approximately $432,000 in accrued dividends at December 31, 2016.

C. New Iowa State Bank Credit Facility

In September 2016, we entered into a new $3 million ten year term loan agreement and a new $500,000 working capital line of credit with Iowa State Bank in which we refinanced approximately $2,835,000 due to the bank under existing loan agreements. In conjunction with the new credit facility, Iowa State Bank reduced our interest rate on both loans from a minimum of 8% to 4% on the term loan (for the initial three years) and the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime plus a .5% (4% at December 31, 2016) on the working capital line. We had no additional availability under our working capital line at December 31, 2016.

D. Amendment of Trident Promissory Note

In December 2015, we amended the terms of the $1.716 million of secured notes payable to Trident Resources so that we are not required to make payments under the note until such time as the two purchased NGL processing systems are producing a minimum of 200,000 gallons of saleable product on a monthly basis. The original notes would have required cumulative payments through December 2016 of approximately $965,000. Based on our fiscal 2017 operating plan this amendment is expected to save us approximately $285,000 during fiscal 2017 as compared to the original terms.

2. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Power Group Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, American Power Group, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim financial statements at December 31, 2016 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The balance sheet at September 30, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date; certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures which have been made herein are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be reported for a full year. In our opinion, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of December 31, 2016 and the operating results for the interim periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 have been included.

3. Receivables

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating past due individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions. Individual accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible, with any future recoveries recorded as income when received.

Note Receivable, Related Party

On June 30, 2015, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Trident Resources LLC (“Trident”), pursuant to which we loaned Trident $737,190 under the terms of a 6% senior secured demand promissory note due September 30, 2015. The note is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Trident’s assets and has been guaranteed on a secured basis by Trident’s sole owner. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, Trident repaid $240,000 of the outstanding principal balance.

On December 1, 2015, we amended and restated the note to extend the maturity until December 31, 2015 and provide for certain additional penalties in the event of any default under such note, including a 5% penalty for late payment. At December 31, 2016, the outstanding principal balance was $497,190 and accrued interest and late fees were approximately $135,000. As of February 14, 2017, Trident has made no additional payments and as a result we have commenced legal action to pursue collection of the outstanding balance. We believe the value of the collateral pledged by Trident equals or exceeds the balance due and therefore believe no reserve for uncollectibility is necessary as of December 31, 2016.

Seller’s Note Receivable, Related Party

In conjunction with the July 2009 acquisition of substantially all the American Power Group operating assets, including the name American Power Group (excluding its dual fuel patent), we acquired a promissory note from the previous owners of American Power Group (renamed M&R Development, Inc.), payable to us, in the principal amount of $797,387. The note bears interest at the rate of 5.5% per annum and was based on the difference between the assets acquired and the consideration given.

In conjunction with our 10% Convertible Preferred Stock financing in April 2012, we amended the note to increase the amount of royalties payable under a technology license (see Note 5) that can be applied to the outstanding principal and interest payments to 50% and to defer all interest and principal payments due under the note during calendar 2012 and 2013. Thereafter, the aggregate principal amount due under the note was to be paid in eight equal quarterly payments plus interest. In addition, M&R will not be required to make any payments under the note until such time as we begin to make royalty payments and at that time, those payments will be limited to a maximum of 50% of any royalty payment due M&R on a quarterly basis. No payments have been made under the amended note as of December 31, 2016. We have classified 100% of the balance as long term. We consider this a related party note as one of the former owners of American Power Group is now an employee of ours.

4. Inventory

Raw material inventory primarily consists of dual fuel conversion components. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, we recorded an inventory valuation allowance of $279,557 and $279,580.

All inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market on the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists of the following:

5. Intangible Assets

We review intangibles for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our intangible assets below their carrying value.

In conjunction with the exclusive license agreement from Trident, we recognized $300,000 associated with the execution of the agreement. The value is being amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 120 months. Amortization expense associated with the long term technology license agreement is $7,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $42,500 and $35,000 at December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

In conjunction with the American Power Group acquisition and license agreement, we recorded intangible assets of $500,000 associated with the execution of a long term technology license agreement and $500,000 associated with the purchase of the dual fuel conversion technology. Both values are being amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 120 months. Amortization expenses associated with the long term technology license agreement and the purchased dual fuel conversion technology amounted to $25,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $741,667 and $716,667 at December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

In conjunction with the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock financing in April 2012, we amended the M&R technology license agreement to modify the calculation and the timing of the royalty payments. Under this amendment, effective April 27, 2012, the monthly royalty due is the lesser of 10% of net sales or 30% of pre-royalty EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization). No royalties will be earned or due until such time as our cumulative EBITDA commencing April 1, 2012 is positive on a cumulative basis. During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $0 royalties to M&R.

A critical component of our dual fuel aftermarket conversion solution is the internally developed software component of our electronic control unit. The software allows us to seamlessly and constantly monitor and control the various gaseous fuels to maximize performance and emission reduction while remaining within all original OEM diesel engine performance parameters. We have developed a base software application and EPA testing protocol for both our Outside Useful Life (“OUL”) and Intermediate Useful Life (“IUL”) engine applications, which will be customized for each engine family approved in order to maximize the performance of the respective engine family.

As of December 31, 2016, we have capitalized $4,649,879 of development costs associated with our OUL ($1,940,010) and IUL ($2,709,869) applications, which will be amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 60 months for OUL applications and 84 months for IUL applications. Amortization costs for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $184,220 and $180,412, respectively.

Amortization expense associated with intangibles during the next five years is anticipated to be:

6. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consist of the following:

Construction in progress is related to well processing units used in our NGL Division. We are currently working with prospective customers to place this equipment in service. We believe that no impairment exists at this time.

7. Product Warranty Costs

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties for our dual fuel products at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect our warranty reserves include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs, and the cost per repair. We assess the adequacy of the warranty provision and we may adjust this provision if necessary. Our warranty reserve remained approximately the same during the three months ended December 31, 2016. Warranty accrual is included in accrued expenses.

The following table provides the detail of the change in our product warranty accrual relating to dual fuel products as of:

8. Notes Payable/Credit Facilities

The following summarizes our notes payable as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016.

Refinancing of Credit Facility

On September 14, 2016, we entered into a new $3 million term loan agreement and new $500,000 working capital line of credit with Iowa State Bank in which we refinanced approximately $2,835,000 due to the bank under existing loan agreements.

Under the terms of the new term loan we will make (i) 36 consecutive monthly payments of $30,659, beginning on December 14, 2016, which includes interest at the rate of 4.0% per annum, followed by (ii) 84 consecutive monthly payments of $30,659, beginning on December 14, 2019, adjusted to reflect an interest rate equal to The Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 0.5%. The final payment of all principal and accrued interest on the term loan is due on November 14, 2026.

In addition, Iowa State Bank has provided a new $500,000 working capital line of credit which has an initial expiration of September 14, 2017 and bearing interest at a rate equal to The Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 0.5% (4.25% as of December 31, 2016). The maximum amount we may borrow from time to time under the line of credit remains equal to lesser of (i) the sum of 70% of our eligible accounts receivable, other than accounts receivable outstanding for more than 90 days, and 50% of the value of our inventory, or (ii) $500,000. As of December 31, 2016, the balance on the line of credit was $500,000 and we had no additional availability under the line.

Our obligations under this credit facility are secured by the grant of a first priority security interest in all of our assets, and the limited personal guarantees of two of our Directors. These security arrangements replaced several prior security agreements including (i) our commitment to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Iowa State Bank in the event of a payment default, and (ii) a stock pledge of a total of 500,000 shares of our Common Stock owned by a Director and two members of our management team.

Amounts borrowed under the credit facility are subject to acceleration upon certain events of default, including: (i) any failure to pay when due any amount owed under the facility; (ii) any failure to keep the collateral insured; (iii) any attempt by any other creditor of ours to collect any indebtedness through court proceedings; (iv) any assignment for the benefit of creditors by us, or our insolvency; (v) the institution of certain bankruptcy proceedings by or against us; (vi) any breach by us of any covenant in the documents related to the credit facility; and (vii) any other occurrence that either significantly impairs the value of the collateral or causes Iowa State Bank to reasonably believe that they will have difficultly collecting the amounts borrowed under the credit facility.

As a result of refinancing the credit facility, we recorded a $497,492 loss on modification of debt during quarter ended September 30, 2016. This amount includes $718,161 recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the Credit Facility, which is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the facility using the effective interest method, $22,055 of original debt issuance costs expensed at the time of the refinancing, and $1,143,598 in warrants issued to the Guarantors as consideration for their guarantee. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions; dividend yield 0%; risk-free interest rate of 1.2%; volatility of approximately 73%, and expected term of 5 years. See Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further discussion regarding the recorded value of the Credit Facility.

Agreements with the Guarantors

As described above, two of our Directors have each agreed, severally and not jointly, to guaranty the payment of up to $1,750,000 of our obligations under the credit facility, including the payment of principal, interest and all costs of collection.

We entered into a Credit Support Agreement with these Directors pursuant to which, in consideration of the guarantees, we issued each of these Directors a ten year warrant to purchase up to 6,950,000 shares of our Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $.20 per share. Each warrant may be exercised at any time during the term for up to 5,560,000 shares with the remaining 1,390,000 additional shares becoming exercisable based on any the following conditions: (i) if Iowa State Bank initiates any action to enforce the Director’s guaranty, (ii) if the Directors, elect to repay, on our behalf, all of the obligations due under the credit facility before September 13, 2019 or (iii) in the absence of either of the foregoing events if their guarantees have not been released by Iowa State Bank prior to September 13, 2019.

The guarantors have agreed that if they payoff Iowa State Bank prior to September 13, 2019 they will succeed to all of the rights and interests of Iowa State Bank as the lender and secured party under all agreements, promissory notes and other instruments which comprise the credit facility. Unless otherwise agreed by us, no other term or condition of the credit facility will be deemed to amended or restated. If the guarantor’s payoff Iowa State Bank after September 13, 2019, they have the right to receive shares of our Common Stock (valued at the 20 day volume weighted average price prior to payment) equal to the amount paid plus a warrant to purchase a number of shares (at the same 20 day volume weighted average price) equal to the shares of Common Stock issued in payment of the bank obligations.

9. Notes Payable, Related Parties

Notes Payable-Related Party-Trident Resources, LLC

On August 12, 2015, we purchased two processing systems from Trident for $1,716,500 and in return we issued Trident a promissory note for $832,000, which was payable in 12 equal monthly installments of principal and interest at 6.75% commencing September 20, 2015 and a second secured promissory note for $884,500, which was payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal and interest at 6% commencing September 20, 2016. These notes are secured by liens on the purchased equipment.

As of December 1, 2015, we amended and restated, these two secured promissory notes and combined the obligations of the original notes into a new note for $1,716,500 which bears interest at 6% per year with 48 monthly payments of principal and interest commencing on February 29, 2016 assuming the Trident NGL Services division meets specified production goals in the preceding month. If these productions goals are not met, the new note provides that we may defer payments otherwise due in any month following a month in which the production goals are not met to the maturity date, without incurring any additional interest. The amended and restated note also permits us to offset against amounts otherwise due under such note in the event of any default by Trident under their promissory note to the Company. As of December 31, 2016, no principal or interest payments have been made on this note and we have accrued interest of $146,665 associated with this note which is included in accrued expenses.

Financing Agreement -WPU Leasing, LLC

In January 2016, WPU Leasing agreed to defer cash payments on approximately 70% of the $1.9 million of debt outstanding. The deferral of payments reduced our cash outflow commitments by approximately $500,000 during fiscal 2016. WPU Leasing had the option, starting June 30, 2016, of taking deferred and current payments in shares of our Common Stock (based on the 20 day volume weighted average price prior to conversion) which would positively impact our cash flow position going forward. At June 30, 2016, a member of WPU Leasing, LLC which is affiliated with one of our Directors agreed to accept 1,209,857 shares of Common Stock (valued at $.14 per share) in lieu of cash for deferred principal and interest payments due as of June 30, 2016 of $169,379. No other payments have been made since June 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, we have accrued interest associated with this note of $332,257 and $238,953, respectively. These amounts are included in accrued expenses.

In consideration of WPU Leasing’s commitment under our financing agreement, we issued to WPU Leasing’s members warrants to purchase up to the lesser of (i) an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of our Common Stock or (ii) one share of Common Stock for each dollar borrowed by us under the agreement. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, we terminated warrants to purchase 1,325,000 shares of Common Stock due to the fact WPU Leasing had not provided the remaining $1.325 million of its commitment. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.20 per share and are exercisable for a period of four years from the date of issue and the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. We determined the value of these warrants using the Black Scholes option pricing model and recorded deferred financing costs of $86,923, which will be amortized over the term of the finance agreement.

In connection with the January 2017 private placement, WPU Leasing agreed to defer all current and future cash interest and principal payments due under approximately $1.8 million of notes until such time as our Board of Directors determines we are in a position to resume normal payments but no later than such time as we are EBITDA positive at a Corporate level for two consecutive quarters. In addition, WPU amended its notes, effective as of December 1, 2016, to reduce the current normal interest rate from 22.2% to 15% and eliminate the penalty interest provision. On January 27, 2017, in consideration of WPU Leasing’s agreements and waivers, we issued WPU’s members ten year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,538,172 shares of our Common Stock (initially valued at approximately $372,000) at an exercise price of $.10 per share. These changes will reduce our cash outflow commitments by approximately $760,000 on an annual basis.

Related Party Promissory Notes

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, an existing shareholder and investors affiliated with members of our Board of Directors loaned us $565,000 under short term 10% promissory notes which were subsequently converted into the January 2017 private placement.

Officer’s Promissory Note

In 2010, an officer loaned us $50,000 under an unsecured promissory note, the maturity of which has been extended several times. In September 2016, the officer agreed to extend the maturity of the outstanding $50,000 balance to September 30, 2017 and agreed to covert the outstanding balance into the January 2017 private placement.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Settlement Obligations:

We are currently renting property located in Georgia relating to a former discontinued business. We have the right to terminate the Georgia lease with 6 months’ notice but are obligated to continue to pay rent until the earlier of (1) the sale by the landlord of the premises; (2) the date on which a new long term tenant takes over; or (3) 3 years from the date on which we vacate the property. As a result, we have recorded a lease settlement obligation. We currently sublease two portions of the property to an entity which is paying $8,000 per month starting in September 2015 up from $7,500 per month on a tenant-at-will basis.

In March 2016, we notified the landlord of our intent to terminate the lease and are working with the landlord and our tenant towards a goal of our tenant leasing the entire facility from the landlord. In addition, we amended the existing lease with the landlord to reduce the monthly rental amount by $2,500 per month to $15,152 starting April 1, 2016. During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had rental income of $24,000 respectively, associated with the Georgia property and rental expense of $7,357 and $62,935, respectively.

The total future minimum rental obligations at December 31, 2016, under the above real estate operating lease is as follows:

11. Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

In conjunction with the private placement of our 10% Convertible Preferred stock in April 2012 and November 2014, we issued warrants which contained a “down-round” provision that provides for a reduction in the warrant exercise price if there are subsequent issuances of additional shares of Common Stock for consideration per share less than the per share warrant exercise prices. In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued ASU 2012-04 Technical Corrections and Improvement (ASU 2012-04) which contained technical corrections to guidance on which we had previously relied upon in forming our initial conclusions regarding the accounting for warrants containing these reset provisions. Pursuant to this guidance and effective commencing October 1, 2013, we have recognized the fair value of these warrants as a liability and have re-measured the fair value of these warrants on a quarterly basis with any increase or decrease in the estimated fair value being recorded in other income or expense for the respective quarterly reporting period.

We have historically used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options and warrants. We have considered the facts and circumstances in choosing the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the warrants with a down-round price protection feature as well as the likelihood of triggering the down-round price protection feature, which, as described below, we have concluded is remote.

In determining the initial fair value of the warrants associated with the April 2012 Convertible Preferred Stock private placement as of October 1, 2013, we prepared a valuation simulation using the Black Scholes option pricing model as well as additional models using a modified Black Scholes option pricing model and a Binomial Tree option pricing model. We determined the initial fair value of the warrants associated with the November 2014 Convertible Preferred Stock private placement to be $694,631 based on a valuation simulation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Both additional simulations included various reset scenarios, different exercise prices, and other assumptions, such as price volatility and interest rates, that were kept consistent with our original Black-Scholes model. The resulting warrant values as determined under the modified Black-Scholes model and the Binomial Tree option model were not materially different from the values generated using the Black-Scholes model. We have therefore determined to use the Black-Scholes model as we believe it provides a reasonable basis for valuation and takes into consideration the relevant factors of the warrants, including the down round provision.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we recorded warrant valuation income of $31,547 and $194,261 associated with the change in the estimated fair value of all warrants containing the down round provision outstanding. Our warrant liability was $5,738 and $37,285 as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

The warrant liabilities were valued at the noted dates using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions.

Private Placement 1 - April 30, 2012, sale of 821.6 units of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock

Private Placement 2 - March 31, 2013, additional investment right from Private Placement 1, sale of approximately 274 units of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2016, approximately 3.6 million of warrants with down-round provision remained outstanding.

12. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amount of our receivables and payables approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

Accounting principles provide guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance includes a three level hierarchy of valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:

We consider an active market as one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Conversely, we view an inactive market as one in which there are few transactions of the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or amount market makers. When appropriate, non-performance risk, or that of counterparty, is considered in determining the fair values of liabilities and assets, respectively.

We have classified certain warrants related to the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock private placements noted in Note 11 as a Level 3 Liability. Assumptions used in the calculation require significant judgment. The unobservable inputs in our valuation model include the probability of additional equity financing and whether the additional equity financing would trigger a reset on the down-round protection.

The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured a fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016.

Level 3 Valuation

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value of our financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three month period ended December 31, 2016.

Balances Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis:

Effective September 14, 2016, we refinanced our debt agreement with Iowa State Bank to extend the term of the agreement and reduce the interest rate from 8.0% to 4.0%. As a result of this refinancing, it was determined that the original and new debt instruments were substantially different, and therefore, the new debt instrument was recorded at its fair value of $2,281,839 using Level 3 inputs. The fair value was determined using a discount rate of 10% and term of 120 months. See Note 8, Notes Payable, for further discussion regarding the modification of the terms of the credit facility.

13. Stockholders’ Equity

10% Convertible Preferred Stock Dividends

Our Board of Directors has determined that our cash resources are not currently sufficient to permit the payment of cash dividends with respect of our Convertible Preferred Stock and suspended the payment of cash dividends, commencing with the dividend payable on September 30, 2015. Since September 30, 2015, we have issued shares of our Common Stock valued at approximately $2 million in lieu of cash dividends and have approximately $432,000 in accrued dividends at December 31, 2016.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recorded a dividend on our 10% Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock of $339,212, of which $110,451 remains in accrued dividends. Certain stockholders agreed to accept 1,738,974 shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash dividend payments of $228,761 due for the current quarter.

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we recorded a dividend on our 10% Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock of $284,444, of which $53,114 remains in accrued dividends.

Stock Options

In October 2016, we granted options to an employee to purchase 150,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, which represented the closing price of our stock on the date of the grant. The options were granted under the 2016 Stock Option Plan, have a ten-year term and vest equally over a period of five years from date of grant. The fair value of the options at the date of grant in aggregate was $17,952, which was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions; dividend yield of 0%; risk-free interest rates of approximately 1.3%; expected volatility based on historical trading information of 73% and expected term of 5 years.

Amortization of stock compensation expense was $31,314 and $27,136 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The unamortized compensation expense at December 31, 2016 was $283,438 and will be amortized over a weighted average remaining life of approximately 3.9 years.

14. Segment Information

We have two reportable operating segments: (1) dual fuel conversion operations and (2) natural gas liquids operations. Each operating segment has its respective management team.

Our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) as he is responsible for assessing the performance of the segments and decides how to allocate resources to the segments. Income (loss) from operations is the measure of profit and loss that our CODM uses to assess performance and make decisions. Assets are a measure used to assess the performance of the company by the CODM; therefore we will report assets by segment in our disclosures. Income (loss) from operations represents the net sales less the cost of sales and direct operating expenses incurred within the operating segments as well as the allocation of some but not all corporate operating expenses. These unallocated costs include certain corporate functions (certain legal, accounting, wage, public relations and interest expense) and are included in the results below under Corporate in the reconciliation of operating results. Management does not consider unallocated Corporate in its management of segment reporting. There were no sales between segments for the three months ending December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

15. Subsequent Event

On January 27, 2017 we issued $2.6 million of 10% Subordinated Contingent Convertible Promissory Notes to several existing shareholders, members of management and investors affiliated with members of our Board of Directors. We may issue up to $395,000 in additional notes under the terms of this private placement. Approximately $615,000 of previously issued short term loans from several of the investors were converted into the private placement. These notes are automatically convertible, subject to shareholder approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 350 million to a minimum of 600 million, into shares of a new proposed Series E 12.5% Convertible Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $100,000 per share. Each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock would be convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. Upon the conversion of the notes into shares of Series E Preferred Stock, we will issue to each investor a ten-year warrant to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten times the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, exercisable at $0.10 per share.

Concurrent with the closing of the financing, Neil Braverman became our new Chairman of the Board of Directors replacing Maurice Needham who will remain as a Director. Matthew Van Steenwyk was appointed by the Board of Directors as Lead Strategic Director with more direct focus on helping to optimize the strategic marketing initiatives for the Company.

In connection with this financing, WPU Leasing agreed on January 27, 2017 to defer all current and future cash interest and principal payments due under approximately $1.8 million of notes until such time as our Board of Directors determines we are in a position to resume normal payments but no later than such time as we are EBITDA positive at a Corporate level for two consecutive quarters. In addition, WPU amended its notes, effective as of December 1, 2016 to reduce the current normal interest rate from 22.2% to 15% and eliminate the penalty interest provision. On January 27, 2017, in consideration of WPU Leasing’s agreements and waivers, we issued WPU’s members ten year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,538,172 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share.
