Implications of Being an Emerging Growth
Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company as
that term is used in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens
that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
|
· |
A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements
and only two years of related MD&A; |
|
· |
Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment
of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002; |
|
· |
Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s
executive compensation arrangements; and |
|
· |
No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden
parachute arrangements. |
We have already taken advantage of these reduced
reporting burdens in this prospectus, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2
of the Exchange Act.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also
provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
We have elected to use the extended transition period provided above and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable
to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We could remain an emerging growth company
for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed
$1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act,
which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business
day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible
debt during the preceding three year period.

RISK FACTORS
The Shares are highly speculative in nature,
involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in our
securities. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Memorandum before investing
in our Shares. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be
materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
Our ability to continue as a going concern
The Company is an early stage company and has incurred an accumulated
loss of $4,234,511 since inception. The Company has negative working capital of $91,415 as of December 31, 2014 and will
require additional funds to finance its business plan for the next twelve months. Due to the early-stage nature of the Company,
the Company expects to incur additional losses in the immediate future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations
and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company’s Chief Executive
Officer has historically provided funding for operations until the Company raises sufficient capital to provide for the first-year
operating expenses.
We are an early stage company and this
makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects.
For financial accounting purposes, our Company
is in its early-stage so its operations will be subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business. Included
in these risks are our limited capital, corporate infrastructure and marketing arrangements. Our management team is experienced
but new to its intended field and well supported by industry experts and consultants. Our Company’s total service lines
have had no commercial exposure or sales. The likelihood that we will succeed must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development of new businesses.
We may fail to continue to attract,
develop and retain key management, which could negatively impact our operating results.
We depend on the performance of our executive
officers. The loss of our senior management could negatively impact our operating results and our ability to execute our business
strategy. We do not have “key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees.
Our future success depends on our ability
to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. Competition for employees in the telecommunications equipment industry
is intense. Additionally, we depend on our ability to train and develop skilled sales people and an inability to do so would significantly
harm our growth prospects and operating performance.
Our business may suffer if we are not
successful in our efforts to keep up with a rapidly changing market.
The market for the energy storage solutions
market we sell in is characterized by technological changes, evolving industry standards, changing customer needs and frequent
new equipment and service introductions. Our future success in addressing the needs of our customers will depend, in part, on
our ability to timely and cost-effectively:
|
o |
respond to emerging
industry standards and other technological changes; |
|
o |
develop our internal technical
capabilities and expertise; |
|
o |
broaden our equipment and
service offerings; and |
|
o |
adapt our services to new
technologies as they emerge. |
Our failure in any of these areas could harm
our business.
We are an ‘emerging growth company”
and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced disclosure requirements applicable to ‘emerging growth
companies” could make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we may choose to take
advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth
companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports
and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and
shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company”
for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed
$1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act,
which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business
day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible
debt during the preceding three year period.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also
provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section
7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth
company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We have elected to opt in to the extended transition period for complying with the revised accounting standards.
We do not expect our cash or cash equivalents
will be sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve (12) months. We expect we will need to obtain funds from additional
financing or other sources for our business activities. If we do not receive these funds, we would need to reduce, delay or eliminate
some of our expenditures.
We have a history of only nominal revenues, have incurred significant
losses, expect continued losses and may never achieve profitability. If we continue to incur losses, we may have to curtail our
operations, which may prevent us from successfully deploying our electric drive systems, battery systems, renewable energy storage
devices and electric vehicles as well as operating and expanding our business.
We have a history of only nominal revenues, have not been profitable
and expect continued losses. Historically, we have relied upon cash from the company’s Chief Executive Officer to fund substantially
all of the cash requirements of our activities and have incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow. As of
December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $4,234,511 and a net loss of $4,003,062 for the year then ended. We cannot
predict when we will become profitable or if we ever will become profitable. We may continue to incur losses for an indeterminate
period of time and may never achieve or sustain profitability. An extended period of losses and negative cash flow may prevent
us from successfully producing and selling our MESS and zeroXess solutions.
Our significant losses have resulted principally from costs incurred
in connection with the development of our products and from costs associated with our administrative activities. We expect our
operating expenses to dramatically increase as a result of our planned production and sale of our energy storage systems the MESS
and zeroXess. Since we have no significant operating history, we cannot assure you that our business will ever become profitable
or that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses and support our planned activities. Even if we are able
to achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase our profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
Without substantial additional financing, we may be unable to achieve
the objectives of our current business strategy, which could force us to delay, curtail or eliminate our product and service development
programs thereby adversely affecting our operations and the price of our common stock.
We have been, and currently are, working toward identifying and
obtaining new sources of financing. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing in
the future. Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing
or other financing of securities senior to common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants
that will restrict our flexibility. At a minimum, we expect these covenants to include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends
on our common stock. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, our senior secured convertible debentures contain covenants
that include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.
If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay,
scale back or eliminate portions of our operations and product and service development efforts or to obtain funds through arrangements
with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or potential products
or other assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain such financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control
of our proprietary technology and other important assets and could also adversely affect our ability to fund our continued operations
and our product and service development efforts and adversely affect the price of our common stock.
We have very limited operating experience; therefore, regardless
of the viability or market acceptance of our products, we may be unable to achieve profitability or realize our other business
goals.
The company has not begun the production of our products. We have
been engaged primarily in research and development of the MESS and zeroXess. Our success will depend in large part on our ability
to address problems, expenses and delays frequently associated with bringing a new product to market. We may not be able to successfully
sell our products even if our products prove to be a viable solution and achieve market acceptance. Consequently, we may be unable
to achieve profitability or realize our other business goals.
The current global financial crisis and uncertainty in global
economic conditions could prevent us from accurately forecasting demand for our products which could adversely affect our operating
results or market share.
Market instability, including the instability of the financial
condition of the International Markets, United States and the State of California, makes it increasingly difficult for us, our
customers and our suppliers to accurately forecast future product demand trends. Due to the forecasting difficulty caused by the
unstable economic conditions, we may be unable to satisfy demand for our products which may in turn result in a loss of market
share.
We are targeting a new and evolving market and we cannot
be certain that our business strategy will be successful.
The market for energy storage systems is relatively rapidly evolving.
We cannot accurately predict the size of this market or its potential growth. Our products represent only one of the possible
solutions for energy storage systems. Use of. The new and evolving nature of the market that we intend to target makes an accurate
evaluation of our business prospects and the formulation of a viable business strategy very difficult. Thus, our business strategy
may be faulty or even obsolete and as a result, we may not properly plan for or address many obstacles to success, including the
following:
|
· |
the timing and necessity of substantial expenditures for the development, production and
sale of our products; |
|
· |
the emergence of newer, more competitive technologies and products; · the future
cost of the components used in our systems; |
|
· |
applicable regulatory requirements; |
|
· |
the reluctance of potential customers to consider new technologies; |
|
· |
the failure to strategically position ourselves in relation to joint venture or strategic
partners, and potential and actual competitors; |
|
· |
the failure of our products to satisfy the needs of the markets that we intend to target
and the resulting lack of widespread or adequate acceptance of our products; and |
|
· |
the difficulties in managing rapid growth of operations and personnel. |
The industry within which we compete is highly competitive.
Many of our competitors have greater financial and other resources and greater name recognition than we do and one or more of
these competitors could use their greater financial and other resources or greater name recognition to gain market share at our
expense.
The industry within which we compete is highly competitive. New
developments in technology may negatively affect the development or sale of some or all of our products or make our products uncompetitive
or obsolete. Competition for our products may come from current battery technologies, improvements to system technologies and
new system technologies. Our target market is currently serviced by existing manufacturers with existing customers and suppliers
using proven and widely accepted lead acid powered systems or solutions. As a result, our competitors may be able to compete more
aggressively and sustain that competition over a larger period of time than we could. Each of these competitors has the potential
to capture market share in various markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our position in the industry and our
financial results.
Products within the industry in which we operate are subject
to rapid technological changes. If we fail to accurately anticipate and adapt to these changes, the products we sell will become
obsolete, causing a decline in our sales and profitability.
The industry within which we compete is subject to rapid technological
change and frequent new product introductions and enhancements which often cause product obsolescence. We believe that our future
success depends on our ability to continue to enhance our existing products and technologies, and to develop and manufacture in
a timely manner new products with improved technologies. We may incur substantial unanticipated costs to ensure product functionality
and reliability early in its products’ life cycles. If we are not successful in the introduction and manufacture of new
products or in the development and introduction, in a timely manner, of new products or enhancements to our existing products
and technologies that satisfy customer needs and achieve market acceptance, our sales and profitability will decline.
We obtain some of the components and subassemblies included
in our products from a limited group of suppliers, the partial or complete loss of which could have an adverse effect on our sales
and profitability.
We obtain some of the components and subassemblies for our products
from a limited group of suppliers. Although we seek to qualify additional suppliers, the partial or complete loss of these sources
could adversely affect our sales and profitability and damage customer relationships by impeding our ability to fulfill our current
customers’ orders. Further, a significant increase in the price of one or more of these components or subassemblies could
adversely affect our profit margins and profitability if no lower-priced alternative source is approved.
Fluctuation in the price, availability and quality of materials
could increase our cost of goods and decrease our profitability
We purchase materials directly from various suppliers. The prices
we charge for our products are dependent in part on the cost of materials used to produce them. The price, availability and quality
of our materials may fluctuate substantially, depending on a variety of factors, including demand, supply conditions, transportation
costs, government regulation, economic climates and other unpredictable factors. Any material price increases could increase our
cost of goods and decrease our profitability unless we are able to pass higher prices on to our customers. We do not have any
long-term written agreements with any of these suppliers.
Our limited production, commercial launch activities and
continued field tests could encounter problems.
We are currently conducting, and plan to continue to conduct, limited
production and field tests on a number of our products as part of our product development cycle and we are working on scaling
up our production capabilities. These production readiness activities and additional field tests may encounter problems and delays
for a number of reasons, including the failure of our technology, the failure of the technology of others, the failure to combine
these technologies properly and the failure to maintain and service the test prototypes properly. Some of these potential problems
and delays are beyond our control. Any problem or perceived problem with our limited production and field tests could damage our
reputation and the reputation of our products and delay their commercial launch.
Significant changes in government regulation may hinder our
sales.
The production, distribution and sale in the United States of our
products are subject to various federal, state, and local and international statutes and regulations. New statutes and regulations
may also be instituted in the future. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product is not in compliance with
any of these regulations, we may be fined, or our product may have to be recalled, thus adversely affecting our financial condition
and operations.
If we do not properly manage foreign sales and operations,
our business could suffer.
We expect that a significant portion of our future revenues will
be derived from sales outside of the United States, and we may operate in jurisdictions where we may lack sufficient expertise,
local knowledge or contacts. Establishment of an international market for our products may take longer and cost more to develop
than we anticipate, and is subject to inherent risks, including unexpected changes in government policies, trade barriers, significant
regulation, difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations, longer payment cycles, and foreign exchange controls that
restrict or prohibit repatriation of funds. As a result, if we do not properly manage foreign sales and operations, our business
could suffer.
Our failure to manage our growth effectively could prevent
us from achieving our goals.
Our strategy envisions a period of growth that may impose a significant
burden on our administrative, financial and operational resources. The growth of our business will require significant investments
of capital and management’s close attention. Our ability to effectively manage our growth will require us to substantially
expand the capabilities of our administrative and operational resources and to attract, train, manage and retain qualified management,
engineers and other personnel. We may be unable to do so. In addition, our failure to successfully manage our growth could result
in our sales not increasing commensurately with our capital investments. If we are unable to successfully manage our growth, we
may be unable to achieve our goals.
Compliance with regulations governing
public company corporate governance and reporting is uncertain and expensive. Recent changes in our business are likely to increase
our compliance costs and the amount of management time required.
As a public company, we are required to file
with the SEC annual and quarterly information and other reports that are specified in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, ("the Exchange Act"). We have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting,
and other expenses that private companies do not incur. We incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements
and with corporate governance and disclosure requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (or Sarbanes-Oxley)
and rules implemented by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. We expect these rules and regulations to increase
our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.
As a result of being a public company,
we are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting and are subject to other
requirements that will be burdensome and costly. We may not timely complete our analysis of our internal control over financial
reporting, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which could adversely affect investor confidence
in our company and, as a result, the value of our Common Stock.
We are required to file with the SEC annual
and quarterly reports and other information that are specified in Section 13 of the Exchange Act. We will also be required to
ensure that we have the ability to prepare financial statements that are fully compliant with all SEC reporting requirements on
a timely basis. In addition, we are subject to other reporting and corporate governance requirements, including the requirements
of listing on the OTCQB, and if listed for continuing to remain listed on the OTCQB, and certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 and the regulations promulgated there under, which impose significant compliance obligations upon us. As a public
company, we will be required to:
|
● |
Prepare and distribute periodic public reports and other stockholder communications in compliance
with our obligations under the federal securities laws and OTCQB rules; |
|
● |
create or expand the roles and duties of our board of directors and committees of the board; |
|
● |
maintain a more comprehensive financial reporting and disclosure compliance functions; |
|
● |
maintain an accounting and financial reporting department, including personnel with expertise
in accounting and reporting for a public company; |
|
● |
enhance and formalize closing procedures at the end of our accounting periods; |
|
● |
maintain an internal audit function; |
|
● |
enhance our investor relations function; |
|
● |
establish and maintain new internal policies, including those relating to disclosure controls
and procedures; and |
|
● |
involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the activities
listed above. |
These requirements entail a significant commitment
of additional resources. We may not be successful in implementing these requirements and implementing them could adversely affect
our business or results of operations. In addition, if we fail to implement the requirements with respect to our internal accounting
and audit functions, our ability to report our results of operations on a timely and accurate basis could be impaired.
We expect to incur substantially greater expenses
and diversion of management’s time and attention from the daily operations of the business, which is likely to increase
our operating expenses and impair our ability to achieve profitability.
To comply with these requirements, we have
evaluated and tested and intend to continue to evaluate and test our internal controls. Where necessary, we have taken and will
continue taking remedial actions, to allow management to report on (and when and as required, our independent auditors to attest
to), our internal control over financial reporting.
As our business continues to change, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer will continue to reassess our internal control over financial reporting and
make additional changes to allow management to report on our internal control over financial reporting.
Any issuance of shares of our Common
Stock or senior securities in the future could have a dilutive effect on the value of our existing stockholders’ shares.
If we raise additional funds through the issuance
of equity securities or debt convertible into equity securities, the percentage of stock ownership by our existing stockholders
would be reduced. In addition, such securities could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our current stockholders,
which could substantially decrease the value of our securities owned by them. Depending on the share price we are able to obtain,
we may have to sell a significant number of shares in order to raise the necessary amount of capital. Our stockholders may experience
dilution in the value of their shares as a result.
Future sales of restricted shares could
decrease the price a willing buyer would pay for shares of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital.
Our stock historically has been very thinly
traded. Future sales of substantial amounts of our shares in the public market, or the appearance that a large number of our shares
are available for sale, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise
capital through the sale of our securities.
State securities laws may limit secondary
trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell your shares.
Secondary trading in Common Stock registered
for re-sale will not be possible in any state until the Common Stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws
of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available
for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading
of, the Common Stock in any particular state, the Common Stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of
that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our Common Stock, the liquidity
for the Common Stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.
Our Common Stock is a “penny stock,”
and compliance with requirements for dealing in penny stocks may make it difficult for holders of our Common Stock to resell their
shares.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than
$5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quotation systems).
Penny stocks are also stocks which are issued
by companies with: net tangible assets of less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least
three years); or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years); or average revenue of less than $6.0 million
for the last three years.
Currently and at least for the foreseeable
future, our Common Stock will be deemed to be a “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange
Act. Rule 15g-2 under the Exchange Act requires a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt
from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prescribed by the SEC and certain other information related
to the penny stock, the broker-dealer’s compensation in the transaction, and the other penny stocks in the customer’s
account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require
that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written
determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment
of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement related to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed
and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements could have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock, because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders
may have difficulty selling their securities.
Compliance with these requirements may make
it more difficult for holders of our Common Stock to resell their shares to third Parties or otherwise, which could have a material
adverse effect on the liquidity and market price of our Common Stock.
If the estimates that we make, or the
assumptions upon which we rely, in preparing our financial statements prove inaccurate, our future financial results may vary
from expectations. Failure to meet expectations may decrease the market price of our securities
Our financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity,
revenues and expenses, the amounts of charges accrued by us and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base
our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual performance may be higher or lower than our estimates for a variety of reasons, including unanticipated competition, regulatory
actions or changes in one or more of our contractual relationships. We cannot assure you, therefore, that any of our estimates,
or the assumptions underlying them, will be correct.
If significant business or product announcements
by us or our competitors cause fluctuations in our stock price, an investment in our stock may suffer a decline in value.
The market price of our Common Stock may be
subject to substantial volatility as a result of announcements by us or other companies in our industry, including our collaborators
and competitors. Announcements that may subject the price of our Common Stock to substantial volatility include announcements
regarding:
|
● |
our operating results, including the amount and timing of revenue generation; |
|
● |
significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments
by us or our competitors. |
As a result, we believe that period-to-period
comparisons of our results of operations are not meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance.
Due to all of the foregoing factors, it may be that in some future year or quarter our operating results will be below the expectations
of public market analysts and investors. In that event, the price of our Common Stock would likely be materially adversely affected.
There is a low trading volume of our
Common Stock in the public market for our shares and we cannot assure you that an active trading market or a specific share price
will be established or maintained.
Our Common Stock trades on the OTCQB trading
system. The OTCQB tends to be highly illiquid, in part because there is no national quotation system by which potential investors
can track the market price of shares except through information received or generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that
make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of market volatility for securities that trade on the OTCQB as opposed
to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors including:
|
● |
the lack of readily available price quotations; |
|
● |
the absence of consistent administrative supervision of “bid” and “ask”
quotations; |
|
● |
lower trading volume; and |
In addition, the value of our Common Stock
could be affected by:
|
● |
actual or anticipated variations in our operating results; |
|
● |
changes in the market valuations of other oil and gas companies; |
|
● |
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships,
joint ventures or capital commitments; |
|
● |
adoption of new accounting standards affecting our industry; |
|
● |
additions or departures of key personnel; |
|
● |
sales of our Common Stock or other securities in the open market; |
|
● |
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; |
|
● |
conditions or trends in the market in which we operate; |
|
● |
changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts; |
|
● |
our failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations; and |
|
● |
other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. |
In a volatile market, you may experience wide
fluctuations in the market price of our securities. These fluctuations may have an extremely negative effect on the market price
of our securities and may prevent you from obtaining a market price equal to your purchase price when you attempt to sell our
securities in the open market. In these situations, you may be required either to sell our securities at a market price which
is lower than your purchase price, or to hold our securities for a longer period of time than you planned. An inactive market
may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies
by using common stock as consideration.
Securities analysts may not initiate
coverage of our shares or may issue negative reports, which may adversely affect the trading price of the shares.
We cannot assure you that securities analysts
will cover our company. If securities analysts do not cover our company, this lack of coverage may adversely affect the trading
price of our shares. The trading market for our shares will rely in part on the research and reports that securities analysts
publish about us and our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover our company downgrades our shares, the trading price
of our shares may decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover our company, we could lose visibility in the market,
which, in turn, could also cause the trading price of our shares to decline. Further, because of our small market capitalization,
it may be difficult for us to attract securities analysts to cover our company, which could significantly and adversely affect
the trading price of our shares.
Because our stock is thinly traded and
our market capitalization is low, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms or institutional investors.
Additional risks to our investors may exist
because security analysts of major brokerage firms generally do not provide coverage for thinly traded securities or companies
that have low market caps. Likewise, institutional investors generally do not invest in companies with low market capitalization.
In addition, because of past abuses and fraud concerns stemming primarily from a lack of public information about new public businesses,
there are many people in the securities industry and business in general who view companies that have been public shells with
suspicion. Without brokerage firm and analyst coverage and institutional investor interest, there may be fewer people aware of
our stock and our business, resulting in fewer potential buyers of our securities, less liquidity, and depressed stock prices
for our investors.
Because we do not anticipate paying
any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.
We have not declared or paid cash dividends
on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development
of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital
appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

including in the documents incorporated by reference into this report, includes some statement that are not purely historical
and that are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
regarding our and their management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including
our financial condition, results of operations. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations
of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,”
“believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,”
“may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,”
“projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives
of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in
this report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on the parties
and the transaction. There can be no assurance that future developments actually affecting us will be those anticipated. These
that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements, including the following forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond
the parties’ control) or other assumptions.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the
sale of common stock by the selling security holders. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will go to the
selling security holders as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Security Holders” and “Plan of
Distribution”. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the common stock for the selling security
holders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING
PRICE
The prices at which the shares or common stock covered by this
prospectus may actually be sold will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of common stock, by negotiations
between the selling security holders and buyers of our common stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in “Plan
of Distribution.”
DILUTION
The common stock to be sold by the selling
shareholders as provided in the “Selling Security Holders” section is common stock that is currently issued.
Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The common shares being offered for resale
by the selling security holders consist of 1,172,000 shares of our common stock held by 47 shareholders.
The following table sets forth the names of
the selling security holders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders as of April
30, 2015 and the number of shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered hereby are
being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale
from time to time. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are
the selling stockholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with
respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Each selling stockholder of the shares and any of their pledgees,
assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares covered hereby on the OTC or any
other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which our common stock is traded or in private transactions. These sales may
be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
· |
ordinary brokerage transactions and
transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
· |
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt
to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
· |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and
resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
· |
an exchange distribution in accordance with the
rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
· |
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
· |
settlement of short sales entered into after the
effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
|
· |
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree
with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
· |
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
· |
a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
· |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares
under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders
may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated,
but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary
brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance
with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the shares
or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions,
which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders
may also sell shares short and deliver these shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the shares to broker-dealers
that in turn may sell these shares. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or
other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

DISCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate History and Background
Powerstorm Capital Corp. was formed on October
11, 2011 in the state of Delaware. On February 25, 2015, Powerstorm Capital Corp. filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate
of Incorporation changing its name to Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. (“we”, “Powerstorm” or the “Company”)
d/b/a Powerstorm ESS. The Company is a manufacturer of hybrid energy storage systems that provides reliable off-grid solutions
to: a) service providers such as telecom tower operators, managed network operators (MNOs), data centers, mining companies, hospitals,
b) rural communities and, c) the residential/home use and disaster recovery market.
Powerstorm is a fairly new company, and to
date, our growth efforts have been focused primarily on refinement of our business model, finalizing the design and development
of two initial energy storage products, filing patents, preparing for a full market launch, hiring key personnel, and preparing
to raise expansion capital. The management team has identified its target markets and its target customers, however the Company
does not currently have any written or oral commitments to provide products or services to customers. In addition, our sources
of cash are not adequate for the next 12 months of operations. If we are unable to raise additional cash, we may either have to
suspend or cease our expansion plans.
Our Business
Powerstorm intends to serve the strong, growing
demand for off-grid, Micro Grid energy storage systems worldwide, and in particular in emerging markets, while helping bring power
to the 1.3 billion people living in energy poverty with virtually no connection to the rest of the world. We are focused on developing
and delivering innovative, power agnostic, best-in-class, green, turnkey power management and energy storage solutions such as
our Modular Energy Storage Solution (“MESS”), and our residential solution, “zeroXess.”
MESS is a containerized and optimized hybrid
energy solution that can provide renewable and reliable off-grid power. The MESS container has a diesel generator/alternator combined
with our Lithium Ion battery-based system and powered by Solar and/or Wind Turbines. The MESS unit is equipped with our patent
pending remote monitoring system, the “digital brain” that incorporates and covers the BMS, TMS and NMS. The MESS
is plug-and-play and can be operational within a single day when set up and tested by technicians.
The MESS is designed to support rural communities
and service providers such as telecom tower operators, data centers, mines and hospitals, each serving as anchor points for our
entrance into the surrounding communities. Our customers will experience reduced dependence on increasingly expensive diesel fuel,
reduced OPEX and CAPEX, reduced energy cost, longer system life, ease of expansion, upgrade and scalability, and overall stable
and reliable energy flow.
A single MESS unit is capable of powering
an entire rural community with green alternative energy, allowing for comprehensive ancillary augmentations that will expand into
clean water, healthcare, Internet access, and other benefits. Given that our MESS units are plug and play and operational within
twenty four hours of delivery, they make for a fantastic solution in humanitarian aid and relief efforts including disaster recovery,
war zones, disease epidemics, etc. This supports the company’s mission of making a difference. Our system has the capacity
to immediately change the quality of life for users.
The zeroXess system is an off-grid solar lighting
kit that is convenient and compact. It is powered by a 12 volt 4500 mAh lithium-ion battery pack and a 25-watt solar panel to
provide renewable energy. The zeroXess system features an 8-hour battery life and 6 extra bright, 15-1 watt hanging LED lights,
4 USB chargers with AC adapter, external speakers and fully integrated and network connected interface for basic internet access.
The systems have a sleek and stylish design and come in five (5) gorgeous colors.
The zeroXess is capable of providing off-grid
solar lighting for personal use in small houses in established and emerging rural markets, in humanitarian relief, disaster recovery
efforts, and camping.
Competition
Competition to Powerstorm’s hybrid energy
solutions business comes primarily from large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) that provide on-grid, high-end solutions
for developed markets with fiscal resources to spill over into emerging markets. Their competitive advantages include brand recognition,
global technical and operations personnel, and access to market expansion capital. Added competition comes from systems integrators
who have technical teams on the ground in a variety of emerging markets and can provide highly competitive pricing. However, the
current market demand is so great that it is outpacing the energy storage systems providers’ ability to service the demand.
There are many market factors contributing to this, including the fact that as many as 1.3 billion people currently live without
electricity, creating a very large pool of people available to service.
Intellectual Property
We have filed two patents that are currently
pending for our Digital Brain and zeroXess. We have also applied for various trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office
relating to the types of services we provide. The application was for the mark “POWERSTORM”, as a service mark
for consulting in the field of maintenance and repair of telecommunications networks, apparatus, and instruments, in the field
of voice, data and documents via telecommunication networks. The mark consists of standard characters without claim to any particular
font, style, size, or color. Our trademark application was accepted by the Patent and Trademark Office on July 10, 2012, and registered
for use on July 24, 2012.
Employees
As of April 30, 2015, the Company has three
executive level independent contractors, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Michel J Freni, our President, Anamaria Pruteanu,
and our Chief Financial Officer, Kirstin Gooldy. The Company also has three consulting contractors and three interns.

Plan of Operation
During the next 12
months, we plan to build our operations and begin delivering hybrid power solutions to customers. Our principal objectives include
the development of our manufacturing site and our supply chain protocols, establishing both sales and sales management teams,
and arranging pilot sites for our hybrid system. We anticipate prototype development for zeroXess will be complete in Q2 of 2015.
MESS’ prototype development and product testing will be complete by Q3 of 2015, and we anticipate that we will be delivering
our first pilot orders by the end of Q4 of 2015.
The success of our
business plan is based on the following assumptions:
|
• |
The successful establishment of pilot sites for our MESS hybrid power solution will serve
as “proof of concept” and will lead to orders for broader deployment. |
|
• |
The successful establishment of the zeroXess solution. |
|
• |
Our business intelligence database, customer relationships, market presence and brand awareness
will enable us to secure pilot sites and follow-on orders, despite competition from existing integrators and OEM providers. |
|
• |
The ability to continue to fund our operations and make payments on our financial obligations. |
There can be no assurance
that these assumptions will be correct. If these assumptions prove incorrect, it will affect our ability to generate revenue and
to continue our operations.
We have commenced
limited operations and will require additional capital to recruit personnel to operate the business and to implement our business
plan.
Over the next 12 months, our business will
be generated through our management’s network of anchor point relationships, global telecommunication and cell tower operators,
VARs and Government Officials and those of external consultants.
Operational Planning Activities
Powerstorm will operate
as an energy storage manufacturer as it develops its proprietary technology and implements the following:
Build out US operations
Build a manufacturing plant;
Develop supply chain protocols;
Refine business intelligence database;
Hire core sales team;
Implement sales processes;
Improve infrastructure;
Finalize global marketing plan;
Establish & implement product management protocol;
Further expand pipeline of orders;
Commence installation of initial test orders
Achieve initial sales; and
Finalize additional product offerings and services.
Define product roadmap.
Finalize additional product offerings and services.
Define product roadmap;
Estimated Costs of Operations
We estimate that we will need to secure funding
of approximately $1,550,000 in order to fund our operations for the next 12 months. Our budget includes $550,000 for hiring key
senior positions and general administrative staff, $135,000 in legal, accounting and auditing costs, and investor relations, $70,000
towards travel and lodging and $500,000 for the development and deployment of our Hybrid Solutions and zeroXess, $115,000 for
patent filings and patent related activities, and $180,000 for various marketing and promotional expenses.
During the next 12 months, besides minimum
administrative and business development staff, Powerstorm will hire consultants and engineering services on a project-by-project
basis. At this time, Company management, with the exception of the Chief Financial Officer, will not receive a salary and will
only be compensated for their travel and other business related expenses.

We recognized revenue of $79,728 from the
sale of a generator during the year ended December 31, 2014.
We also generated revenues from consulting
and advisory services from a related party (a European entity owned by a significant shareholder and officer of the Company)

Powerstorm Amsterdam.
Cost of Revenues
We also incurred cost of sales of $65,756 during 2014 related to
the sale of a generator we acquired from a related party.
Operating Expenses
We incurred total operating expenses of $
4,080,294 and $161,798 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase of $3,918,496 over the prior
year was primarily due to share based compensation incurred related to officers, the Board of Advisors and consultants in connection
with the business development.

We recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt
of $14,025 during the year ended December 31, 2014 from a third party vendor related to the forgiveness of legal fees.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and
2013, we incurred a net loss of $4,003,062 and $129,467, respectively. The increase of $3,873,595 in net loss over the prior year
was primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation paid to officers, the Board of Advisors and consultants in connection
with the business development.

$ | 3,984 | |
We had a working capital deficit of $91,415
at December 31, 2014, which indicates substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and
2013, our Chief Executive Officer made contributions to fund our operations. We will have to raise additional capital over the
next twelve months to meet our current administrative expenses and execute our business plan.
We plan to secure financing through the issuance
of equity or debt. If we are not able to generate sufficient funds from any private placement, public offerings, or bank financings,
we will need to raise additional working capital through other sources.
Our resources were insufficient to effectuate
our inaugural business plan dated June 13, 2013, that extended through the period ended December 31, 2014. We expect to incur a
minimum of $1,550,000 in operating expenses during the subsequent 12 months of operations.
We had previously indicated that we would
have to raise the funds to pay for these expenses. We may have to borrow money from founders or shareholders, issue debt or equity,
or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There is no assurance that we will secure additional capital. There
currently are no agreements, arrangements, or understandings that would enable us to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of
credit, or any other source. If we are unable to raise funds for acquisitions it will have a severe negative impact on our ability
to execute our business plans.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Estimates
In preparing our financial statements, we
make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues
and expenses. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events,
cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally
accepted methods. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine and we must exercise significant judgment.
We periodically evaluate our estimates and judgments that are most critical in nature. We believe that the following discussion
of critical accounting policies address all important accounting areas where the nature of accounting estimates or assumptions
is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions
that we use in the preparation of our financial statements.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation
in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation
expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors to be recognized in the financial statements, based
on their fair value. The Company measures share-based compensation to consultants in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based
Payments to Non-Employees, and recognizes the fair value of the award over the period the services are rendered or goods are provided.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model to estimate the fair value of stock option. The fair value is recognized as expense, over the requisite service period,
which is generally the vesting periods or the period before the vesting date of the respective award on a straight-line basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development
Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of
a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information
on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early
adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated and adopted ASU 2014-10 during 2014.

Corporate Governance
The Board has not
adopted corporate governance principles. Currently, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer also holds the position of Chairman
of the Board of Directors. In the future, however, the Board may reconsider whether its Chief Executive Officer should
also serve as Board Chairman.
Audit Committee
and Financial Expert
We do not have a
standing audit committee of the Board of Directors. Management has determined not to establish an audit committee at present because
of our limited resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of
doing so. We do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors.
Compensation Committee
and Nominating Committee
We currently do not
have a compensation committee or a nominating committee. Our board of directors is responsible for determining compensation for
our officers and directors. Nominations for election to our board of Directors may be made by the Board of Directors or by any
stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors in accordance with our bylaws and Delaware law.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies
to directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting
officer. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal
reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.
Board of Directors
Our directors shall be elected at the annual
meeting of the stockholders or at a special meeting called for that purpose. Each director shall hold such office until his successor
is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. Any vacancy occurring on the board of directors and any
directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority
of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Such newly elected director shall hold
such office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.
Any officer elected or appointed by the Board
of Directors may be removed at any time by the Board of Directors. Any officer appointed by the Chairman may be removed at any
time by the Board of Directors or the Chairman. Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice of his resignation
to the Chairman or to the Secretary. Any vacancy occurring in any office of Chairman of the Board, President, Vice President,
Secretary or Treasurer shall be filled by the Board of Directors. Any vacancy occurring in any other office may be filled by the
Chairman.

Employment Contracts,
Termination of Employment, Change-in-Control Arrangements
As of April 30, 2015,
the Company has employment contracts with Michel Freni and Kirstin Gooldy. There are no compensation plans or arrangements, including
payments to be made by us, with respect to our officers, Directors or consultants that would result from the resignation, retirement
or any other termination of such Directors, officers or consultants from us. There are no arrangements for Directors, officers,

In consideration of their services, Members
of the Board of Directors shall be issued 15,000 shares and the Chairman of the Board will be issued 20,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock upon the completion of a one year term, commencing on January 1, 2015 and terminating on December 31, 2015.
Director Independence
We currently have no independent directors.
Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence”
of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director”
is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship that, in the opinion
of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities
of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
|
• |
the director is, or at any time during the past three years
was, an employee of the company; |
|
• |
the director or a family member of the director accepted any
compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding
the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board
committee service); |
|
• |
a family member of the director is, or at any time during the
past three years was, an executive officer of the company; |
|
• |
the director or a family member of the director is a partner
in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company
received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated
gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); |
|
• |
the director or a family member of the director is employed
as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the
company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or |
|
• |
The director or a family member of the director is a current
partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the
company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit. |

Disclosure of Commission
Position on Indemnification of Securities Act Liabilities
Our directors and
officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors
and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant
to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our
director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
We have been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities
being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be
governed by the court’s decision.

POWERSTORM
HOLDINGS, INC.
(formerly Powerstorm
Capital Corp.)
INDEX TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Powerstorm Holdings, Inc.
(formerly Powerstorm Capital Corp.)
Rancho Palos Verdes, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Powerstorm Holdings,
Inc. (formerly Powerstorm Capital Corp.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements
of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. Powerstorm Holdings Inc.’s
management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 control 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming

NOTE 1 – GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Powerstorm Capital Corp. was incorporated
in Delaware on October 10, 2011 and is located in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The Company was formerly named Powerstorm
Capital Corp. and filed to change the name of the Company to Powerstorm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) in February
2015. The Company intends to be a manufacturer of hybrid energy storage systems that provides reliable off-grid solutions to;
a) service providers such as telecom tower operators, MNO’s, data centers, mining companies, hospitals, b) rural communities
and, c) the residential/home use and disaster recovery market.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a
normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for
the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried
at cost, which approximates fair value.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects
our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on
known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the
Company estimated allowance of $0 for doubtful accounts.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets consist
of trademarks with indefinite lives. The Company capitalizes the filing and legal fees related to the trademark registrations,
which totaled $8,965 and $5,828 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company reviews its indefinite-lived intangible
assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The
Company assesses recoverability by reference to future cash flows from the products underlying these intangible assets. If these
estimates change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. As of December 31,
2014 and 2013, no impairment was recorded.
Furniture and Office Equipment
Furniture and office equipment is stated at
cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over 7 years, the estimated life of the asset. Computers and software developed
or obtained for internal use are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years. Repairs
and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method
in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and
laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation
allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. A valuation allowance,
if necessary, is provided against deferred tax assets, based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue generated consisted
of revenues from consulting services and products sold. Revenue is recognized at the time when a price is fixed and determinable,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered, the products have been delivered and collectability
is assured.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation
in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation
expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors to be recognized in the financial statements, based
on their fair value. The Company measures share-based compensation to consultants in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based
Payments to Non-Employees, and recognizes the fair value of the award over the period the services are rendered or goods are provided.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model to estimate the fair value of stock option. The fair value is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over
the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting periods or the period before the vesting date of the respective award
on a straight-line basis.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common
share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive
effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the diluted weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities
consisted of stock options of 1,690,616 and 0, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development
Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of
a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information
on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early
adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated and adopted ASU 2014-10 during 2014.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates subsequent events through
the date when financial statements are issued for disclosure consideration.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior period were
reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements were
prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and depends upon the Company’s
ability to establish itself as a profitable business. The Company is an early stage company and has incurred an accumulated loss
of $4,234,511 since inception. The Company has negative working capital of $91,415 and will require additional funds to finance
its business plan for the next twelve months. Due to the early-stage nature of the Company, the Company expects to incur
additional losses in the immediate future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability
to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities
arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has historically
provided funding for operations until the Company raises sufficient capital to provide for the first-year operating expenses.
The Company is planning to obtain financing
either through the issuance of equity or debt. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings,
and/or bank financings are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital through other sources.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and
Officers
(a) The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter
be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any claim, action, suit,
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that
the person, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director or officer of the Company or is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or fiduciary of another corporation or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust, non-profit entity, or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all
expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid
or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person. The right to indemnification conferred in this Bylaw
shall be a contract right. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Bylaw with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights
to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person or a claim made
by such person against the Company only if such proceeding or claim was authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
(b) Subject
to applicable law, the Company shall pay the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition,
provided, however, that if and to the extent required by law the payment of expenses incurred by any person covered hereunder
in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
affected person to repay all amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified
under this Bylaw or otherwise.
(c)
If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such proceeding) or advancement of expenses under this Bylaw
is not paid in full within thirty days, or such other period as might be provided pursuant to contract, after a written claim
therefor has been received by the Company, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim or may seek whatever
other remedy might be provided pursuant to contract. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that the
claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. If successful in whole
or in part, claimant shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Neither the failure of the Company (including its Directors, independent legal counsel or shareowners) to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the claimant
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of Delaware, nor an actual determination by
the Company (including its Directors, independent legal counsel or shareowners) that the claimant has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard
of conduct.
(d) Any
determination regarding whether indemnification of any person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions
of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
(e) The
Company may, but shall not be required to, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it
presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise
involved in any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”)
by reason of the fact that the person, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent
of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust, non-profit entity, or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against
all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person.
(f) The
rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter
acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareowners or disinterested
Directors or otherwise.
(g) Any
repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder
of any person with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to or at the time of such repeal or modification for which indemnification
or advancement of expenses is sought.
(h) The
Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity
shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware
on October 10, 2011. In connection with incorporation, we issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock to our founders. These shares
were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)
and were issued as founders shares. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act since
the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in
Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and
number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors.
In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share
certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act. This restriction ensures

Section 4(2) of the Act since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public
offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering,
manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares
to a high number of investors. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since
they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of
the Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be
part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for
exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act for this transaction.
During December 2014, the Company issued 25,000
shares of common stock to its CFO for compensation. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section
4(2) of the Act since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering”
as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the
offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number
of investors. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to
and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act. This
restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public
offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section
4(2) of the Act for this transaction.
On December 31, 2014, the Company granted
259,706 stock options to the Company’s CFO. The stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The options were recorded at fair value using the following inputs to the valuation model; 10 year term; $0.43 exercise price;
common stock price of $1.50; risk free rate of 2.17% and volatility of 156%. The grant date fair value of the stock options was
$386,724 and will vest in four equal installments quarterly over one year, all of which will be expensed during 2015.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the
Company granted 1,360,910 stock options to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The stock options were valued using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The options were recorded at fair value using the following inputs to the valuation model;
10 year term; $0.55 exercise price; common stock price of $1.50; risk free rate of 2.17% and volatility of 156%. The Company recorded
$2,026,510 of stock-based compensation expenses during the year ending December 31, 2014 in connection with these stock options.
On March 3, 2015, the Company appointed a
new member to its board of advisors. The advisor will be granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company
on next Board Meeting and shall vest on December 31, 2015. In addition, the advisor will receive an additional 5,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company under the Company’s incentive stock option plan per month for six months in exchange for service.
The additional stock options will be issued with an exercise price of $0.43 per share and the date of issuance will be September
1, 2015 with aggregate amount up to 30,000 shares. The Company will pay the advisor $1,500 in cash per month from March 1, 2015
to September 1, 2015. The payment will be deferred until the Company secures its first round of funding. The advisor will also
receive 1% of the amount funded as a consulting fee at the time of funding if the advisor makes direct introduction of funds for
the Company.
On March 31, 2015, the Company issued
33,046 shares to KeyMedia Management, Inc. in satisfaction of a $33,045 cash advance made by KeyMedia Management, Inc.

To be filed by amendment |
Item 17. Undertakings
(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
i. To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
ii. To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
iii. To include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of
a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(5) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or
other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement
as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into
the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract
of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that
was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability
of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will
be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424;
ii. Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to
by the undersigned registrant;
iii. The portion
of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv. Any other
communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized
on this 1st day of May 2015.
