STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND DECEMBER 31,
2016
NOTE
1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND
ORGANIZATION
(
A). Source of Business
and Basis of Presentation
Ocean
Thermal Energy Corporation (“Ocean Thermal”, the
“Company”, “we”, and “us”) is
currently in the business of designing Ocean Thermal Energy
Conversion (“OTEC”) power plants and Seawater Air
Conditioning (“SWAC”) plants for large commercial
properties, utilities and municipalities. These technologies
provide practical solutions to mankind’s three oldest and
most fundamental needs: clean drinking water, plentiful food, and
sustainable, affordable energy without the use of fossil fuels.
OTEC is a clean technology that continuously extracts energy from
the temperature difference between warm surface ocean water and
cold deep seawater. In addition to producing electricity, some of
the seawater running through an OTEC plant can be efficiently
desalinated using the power generated by the OTEC technology,
producing thousands of cubic meters of fresh water every day for
the communities served by its plants for use in agriculture and
human consumption. This cold deep nutrient-rich water can also be
used to cool buildings (SWAC) and for fish farming/ aquaculture. In
short, it’s a technology with many benefits, and its
versatility makes OTEC unique.
The
Company previously operated under the corporate name of TetriDyn
Solutions, Inc. (“TetriDyn”). On March 10, 2017,
TetriDyn entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger Agreement”) with Ocean Thermal Energy
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“OTE”). On May 9,
2017, TetriDyn consummated the acquisition of all outstanding
equity interests of OTE pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement, with a newly-created Delaware corporation that is
wholly-owned by TetriDyn (“TetriDyn Merger Sub”),
merging with and into OTE (the “Merger”) and OTE
continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of TetriDyn. Effective upon the consummation of the
Merger (the “Closing”), the OTE Stock issued and
outstanding or existing immediately prior to the Closing of the
Merger was converted at the Closing into the right to receive newly
issued shares of TetriDyn common stock. As a result of the Merger,
TetriDyn succeeded to the business and operations of OTE. In
connection with the consummation of the Merger and upon the consent
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares,
TetriDyn filed with the Nevada Secretary of State an amendment to
its articles of incorporation changing its name to “Ocean
Thermal Energy Corporation”.
On
April 13, 2017, the Company filed a Schedule 14C Information
Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) to notify stockholders that the following
actions were approved without a meeting of the
stockholders:
●
An amendment to our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a change in the
Company’s name from TetriDyn Solutions, Inc. to Ocean Thermal
Energy Corporation;
●
An amendment to our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect and authorize
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 200,000,000 shares of
common stock; and
●
An amendment to our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a forward stock
split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company on an approximately 2.1676-for-1 basis.
On May
25, 2017, the Company received approval from the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to change the trading
symbol for the Company’s common stock to “CPWR”
from “TDYS.” The Company’s common stock began
formally trading under the symbol “CPWR” on June 21,
2017.
For
accounting purposes, this transaction is being accounted for as a
reverse merger and has been treated as a recapitalization of
Tetridyn Solutions, Inc. with Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation as
the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements of the
accounting acquirer became the financial statements of the Company.
The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in
connection with the transaction. The 110,273,767 shares issued to
the shareholder of OTE in conjunction with the share exchange
transaction has been presented as outstanding for all periods. The
historical financial statements include the operations of the
accounting acquirer for all periods presented and the accounting
acquiree for the period from May 9, 2017 through December 31, 2017.
The Company’s accounting year end is December 31, which was
the year end of Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the
opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all
adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature necessary for
presentation of financial statements for interim periods in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-K in Article 10 of SEC
Regulation S-X. 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

We have
an effective interest of 100% in each of our
subsidiaries.
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues
and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the
assumptions used in valuing equity investments and issuances,
valuation of deferred tax assets, and depreciable lives of property
and equipment.
(D)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had no cash
equivalents.
We
account for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 740-10-25, “
Income
Taxes—Overall—Recognition
.” Under ASC
740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Our
2013 to 2017 tax years remain open to audit by the Internal Revenue
Service and state tax authorities.
We
conduct operations in various foreign jurisdictions that use our
technology. Our segments are based on the location of their
operations. The U.S. territories segment consists of operations in
the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam; the Bahamas segment consists of
operations specific to the Bahamas; and the other segment currently
consists of operations in the Cayman Islands. Direct revenues and
costs, depreciation, depletion, and amortization costs, general and
administrative costs (“G&A”), and other income
directly associated with their respective segments are detailed
within the following discussion. Identifiable net property and
equipment are reported by business segment for management reporting
and reportable business segment disclosure purposes. Current
assets, other assets, current liabilities, and long-term debt are
not allocated to business segments for management reporting or
business segment disclosure purposes.
Reportable business
segment information for the years ended December 31, 2017, and
December 31, 2016, is as follows:

For the
year ended December 31, 2017, the U.S. territories are comprised of
U.S. Virgin Islands project (approx. $728,000) and Guam project
(approx. $165,000). Other territories are comprised of Cayman
Islands project); however
during the
year ended December 31, 2017, $48,998 of Cayman Islands assets
under construction was considered to be impaired due to the
uncertainty of the project and were written off
. The
additions to assets under construction in 2017 were primarily
salaries and consulting services.
For the
year ended December 31, 2016, the U.S. territories are comprised of
U.S. Virgin Islands project (approx. $632,000) and Guam project
(approx. $165,000). Other territories are comprised of Cayman
Islands project (approx. $49,000).
(G)
Property and Equipment
Furniture,
equipment, and software are recorded at cost and include major
expenditures that increase productivity or substantially increase
useful lives.
Maintenance,
repairs, and minor replacements are charged to expenses when
incurred. When furniture, vehicles, or equipment is sold or
otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is
included in the statement of operations.
Assets
under construction represent costs incurred by us for our renewable
energy systems currently in process. Generally, all costs incurred
during the development stage of our projects are capitalized and
tracked on an individual project basis and are included in
construction in progress until the project has been placed into
service. If a project is abandoned, the associated costs that have
been capitalized are charged to expense in the year of abandonment.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. Interest costs incurred during the construction period of
defined major projects from debt that is specifically incurred for
those projects are capitalized.
Direct
labor costs incurred for specific major projects expected to have
long-term benefits are capitalized. Direct labor costs subject to
capitalization include employee salaries, as well as related
payroll taxes and benefits. With respect to the allocation of
salaries to projects, salaries are allocated based on the
percentage of hours that our key managers, engineers, and
scientists work on each project. These individuals track their time
worked at each project. Major projects are generally defined as
projects expected to exceed $500,000. Direct labor includes all of
the time incurred by employees directly involved with construction
and development activities. Time spent in general and indirect
management and in evaluating the feasibility of potential projects
is expensed when incurred.
We
capitalize costs incurred once the project has met the project
feasibility stage. Costs include environmental engineering,
permits, government approval, and site engineering costs. We
currently have four projects in the development stage and one
project in the construction phase. We capitalize direct interest
costs associated with the projects. As of December 31, 2017 and
2016, we have no interest costs capitalized.
The
cost of furniture, vehicles, equipment, and software is depreciated
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes. The estimated useful lives and accumulated depreciation
for land, buildings, furniture, vehicles, equipment, and software
are as follows:

Fair
Value
ASC
Topic 820, “
Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures
,” defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States, and enhances
disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 describes a fair
value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first
two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may
be used to measure fair value, which are the
following:
●
Level
1–Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting
date.
●
Level
2–Pricing inputs are quoted for similar assets or inputs that
are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially
the full term through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 2 includes assets or liabilities valued at quoted prices
adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these
investments.
●
Level
3–Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets or
liabilities; that is, the inputs reflect the reporting
entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market
participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability.
Management believes
the carrying amounts of the short-term financial instruments,
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid
expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
notes payable, deferred compensation, and other liabilities
reflected in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value
at December 31, 2016 and 2015, due to the relatively short-term
nature of these instruments.
Cash
and cash equivalents and restricted cash are deposited with major
financial institutions, and at times, such balances with any one
financial institution may be in excess of FDIC-insured limits. As
of December 31, 2017 and 2016, $179,855 and $0 were deposited in
excess of FDIC-insured limits. Management believes the risk in
these situations to be minimal.
The
basic loss per share is calculated by dividing our net loss
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is
calculated by dividing our net loss by the diluted weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted
weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted
number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or
equity. We have 134,000 and 16,012,210 shares issuable upon the
exercise of warrants and options and 7,056,721 and 205,667 shares
issuable upon the conversion of the green energy bonds and
convertible notes that were not included in the computation of
dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is antidilutive for
the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively.
We will
recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
605, “
Revenue
Recognition
.” In all cases, revenue is recognized only
when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of
the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
(L)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.
Historically, there has been a diversity in practice in how certain
cash receipts/payments are presented and classified in the
statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The purpose of the Update
is to reduce the existing diversity in practice by clarifying the
presentation of certain types of transactions. The amendments in
this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company notes
that this guidance applies to its reporting requirements and will
implement the new guidance accordingly.
We have
reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting
standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on our
consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash
flows. Based on that review, we believe that none of these
pronouncements will have a significant effect on current or future
earnings or operations.
NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN
We had
a net loss of $14,591,675 and used cash in operations of $1,469,169
for the year ended December 31, 2017, and had an accumulated
deficit of $67,703,218 and a working capital deficiency of
$10,716,255 as of December 31, 2017. This raises substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise
additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities or
stockholder loans and to implement our business plan. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Management
believes that we will be able to continue as a going concern
through additional affiliate loans, implementation of our strategic
operating plan, continuing a multi-focused plan to obtain external
capital, and offering sales incentives to accelerate ocean thermal
energy conversion (“OTEC”) project
development.

During
2012, we issued a note payable for $1,000,000 and three-year
warrants to purchase 3,295,761 shares of common stock with an
exercise price of $0.50 per share. The note had an interest rate of
10% per annum, was secured by a first lien in all of our assets and
was due on February 3, 2015. We determined the warrants had a fair
value of $378,500 based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The fair value was recorded as a discount on the note payable and
was being amortized over the life of the note. We repriced the
warrants during 2013 and took an additional charge to earnings of
$1,269,380 related to the repricing. The warrants were exercised
upon the repricing. On March 6, 2018, the note holder agreed to
amend the note to extend the due date of the note to December 31,

$1,000,000, plus accrued interest of $535,559.
During
2013, we issued Series B units. Each unit is comprised of a note
agreement, a $50,000 promissory note that matures on September 30,
2023, and bears interest at 10% per annum payable annually in
arrears, a security agreement, and a warrant to purchase 10,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price to be determined
pursuant to a specified formula. During 2013, we issued $525,000 of
10% promissory notes and warrants to purchase 105,000 shares of
common stock. The warrants have an expiration date of September 30,
2023. We determined the warrants had a fair value of $60,068 based
on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As part of our agreement

$0.00 and exercised the warrants and issued shares of common stock.
On December 31, 2016, the accrued interest was $168,934. During
2015, one of the original note holders transferred its ownership of

repurchased and retired 7,546,464 shares of common stock
simultaneously with the closing of the merger with Broad Band
Network Associates. The note is unsecured and due the earlier of

of $130,000. Accrued interest totaled $40,313 at December 31, 2017
and $29,769 at December 31, 2016. We have determined that no
further payment of principal or interest on this note should be
made because the note holder failed to perform his underlying
obligations giving rise to this note. As such, we are confident
that if the note holder were to seek legal redress, a court would
decide in our favor by either voiding the note or awarding damages
sufficient to offset the note value.

purchase 12,912,500 shares of common stock, with an exercise price

stockholders. The warrants expire one year after our shares are
listed on a recognized public exchange. The unsecured note has an
interest rate of 10% per annum and the balance was due on January
31, 2015. We determined the warrants had a fair value of $2,265,000
based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value was
recorded as a discount on the note payable and is being amortized
over the life of the note. As part of our agreement with the
Memphis Investors, the Board repriced the warrants to $0.00 and
exercised the warrants and issued shares of common stock. As of

$399,692. On January 18, 2018 the note holder agreed to extend the
due date for the repayment of the loan and interest to the earlier
of December 31, 2018 or the date for the Ocean Thermal Energy
Corporation’s financial closings of its Baha Mar Project (or

delay in opening of the Baha Mar Resort, our Baha Mar SWAC
Project’s financial closing was delayed causing us to default
on the notes. We have accrued the interest at a default rate of
22%. We intend to repay the notes and accrued interest upon the
project’s financial closing. As of December 31, 2017, the
outstanding loan balance was $300,000. Accrued interest totaled

Warrant includes a cashless net exercise provision whereby the
holder can elect to receive shares equal to the value of the
Warrant minus the fair market value of shares being surrendered to
pay the exercise. As of December 31, 2017, the balance outstanding
was $490,000, the accrued interest was $613, and we had issued
Warrants to purchase 134,000 shares of common stock. We determined

been exercised on the last business day of the period indicated,
based on the Company’s closing stock price of $6,432 for such

On,
January 1, 2015, we issued to our vice president shareholder
relations three-year options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000
shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. The options vest in four
segments of 25,000 shares per quarter commencing on: March 31,
2015; June 30, 2015; September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2015. The
options expire on January 1, 2018. We calculated the fair value of
the options by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following weighted average assumptions: no dividend yield for
all the years; expected volatility of 54%; risk-free interest rate
of 0.25%; and an expected life of one year. The fair value of the
options was $22,440 or $0.2244 per option. These options were fully
exercised at $0.00 upon BOD approval during the year ended December
31, 2017.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAX
On
December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) that significantly reforms the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal
Revenue Code”). The TCJA, among other things, contains
significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of
the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat
rate of 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018; limitation of the tax
deduction for interest expense; limitation of the deduction for net
operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and
elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, in each case, for
losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017
(though any such tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely);
modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits,
including reducing the business tax credit for certain clinical
testing expenses incurred in the testing of certain drugs for rare
diseases or conditions generally referred to as “orphan
drugs”; and repeal of the federal Alternative Minimum Tax
(“AMT”).
The
staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to address the application of GAAP in
situations when a registrant does not have the necessary
information available, prepared or analyzed (including
computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for
certain income tax effects of the TCJA. In connection with the
initial analysis of the impact of the TCJA, the Company remeasured
its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which
they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%.
The remeasurement of the Company's deferred tax assets and
liabilities was offset by a change in the valuation
allowance.
The
Company is still in the process of analyzing the impact to the
Company of the TCJA. Where the Company has been able to make
reasonable estimates of the effects related to which its analysis
is not yet complete, the Company has recorded provisional amounts.
The ultimate impact to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements of the TCJA may differ from the provisional amounts due
to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in
interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional
regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may
take as a result of the TCJA. The accounting is expected to be
complete when the Company’s 2017 U.S. corporate income tax
return is filed in 2018.
A
reconciliation of income tax expense and the amount computed by
applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the income
before provision for income taxes is as follows:

We have
net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of
approximately $23,200,000. This loss is allowed to be offset
against future income. The tax benefits relating to all timing
differences have been fully reserved for in the valuation allowance
account due to the substantial losses incurred through December 31,
2017. The change in the valuation allowance for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016 was an increase (decrease) of
($2,109,440) and $1,228,016, respectively.
Internal
Revenue Code Section 382 imposes limitations on the availability of
a company’s net operating
losses after certain ownership
changes occur. The Section 382 limitation is based upon
certain
conclusions
pertaining to the dates of ownership changes and the value of the
company on the dates of
the ownership changes. It was
determined that an ownership change occurred. The amount of our net
operating losses incurred prior to the ownership change is limited
based on the value of
the Company on the date of the
ownership change. Management has not determined the amount of
net
operating losses
generated prior to the ownership change available to offset taxable
income subsequent to
the ownership change.
NOTE
7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
On
January 1, 2011, we entered into a five-year employment agreement
with an individual to serve as our chief executive officer. The
employment agreement provides for successive one-year term renewals
unless it is expressly cancelled by either party 100 days prior to
the end of the term. Under the agreement, the chief executive
officer will receive an annual salary of $350,000, a car allowance
of $12,000, and Company-paid health insurance. The agreement also
provides for bonuses equal to one times annual salary plus 500,000
shares of common stock for each additional project that generates
$25 million or more revenue to us. The chief executive officer is
entitled to receive severance pay in the lesser amount of three
years’ salary or 100% of the remaining salary if the
remaining term is less than three years.
On June
29, 2017, the Board of Directors approved extending the employment
agreements for the chief executive officer and the senior financial
advisor for an additional five (5) years. The salary and other
compensation shall be increased to account for inflation since the
original employment agreements were executed and became effective
June 30, 2017.
On June
29, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a stock bonus for the
Chief Executive Officer and Sr Financial Advisor of 258,476 and
150,590 shares of common stock, respectively at fair value of
$920,399. These shares were issued on November 1,
2017.
The
Company entered into a settlement agreement to convert outstanding
payable balance in the amount of $180,000 into 360,000 share at
$0.50 per share. These shares were recorded at fair value of
$556,875. The company recorded a loss on settlement of debt of
$376,875 on settlement date.
During
the year ended December 31, 2017, we issued 3,887,802 shares of
common stock to consultants for services and commitment fee with
fair value of $2,902,764.
On
December 11, 2017, the Company entered into an equity purchase
agreement with L2 Capital, LLC for up to $15,000,000. On January 5,
2018, we issued 1,714,285 shares of common stock valued at $514,286
as a commitment fee in connection with the agreement. The shares to
be issued pursuant to this agreement were covered by a Form S-1
Registration Statement approved the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and effective on January 29, 2018. As of the date
of this filing, no “put” options were
exercised.
Contingencies
On June
29, 2015, with the Baha Mar resort an estimated 95% complete, Baha
Mar Ltd., the developer of the resort, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington,
Delaware. Baha Mar Ltd. is the entity with which our subsidiary
entered into the Energy Services Agreement to build a SWAC system.
The underlying cause of the filing was a commercial dispute between
Baha Mar Ltd. and its construction company. Neither we nor our
construction company is a party to the proceeding. At an early
stage of the proceedings, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington,
Delaware dismissed the action on September 15, 2015, agreeing with
the Bahamas Supreme Court in finding that the case should properly
be decided in Bahamian courts.
The
case is proceeding in the Bahamas Supreme Court with the September
2015 appointment of provisional liquidators (Bahamas-based KRyS
Global and UK-based AlixPartners) for the specific purpose of
preserving the assets of the unfinished resort pending a resolution
of the dispute. In November 2015, the Bahamas Supreme Court named
Deloitte & Touche LLP as a receiver to Baha Mar Ltd. at the
request of the Export-Import Bank of China, which is a primary
creditor having made a $2.45 billion loan to Baha Mar Ltd. in 2010.
In March 2016, the receiver engaged Colliers International, an
international real estate firm, to actively market the resort to a
new owner.
The
June 2015 bankruptcy of the developer constituted an event of
default under the Energy Services Agreement, but we have elected
not to assert that default in favor of attempting to pursue the
project. Under the terms of our Energy Services Agreement, in the
event of default of the developer, we have the right to recover
damages, including the amount invested in the project ($7.9 million
at December 31, 2015), plus any fees earned at the time of breach
and other direct damages, limited in aggregate amount to $25.0
million. The Energy Services Agreement is binding on any successor
developer that takes over the development and finished
construction.
We
believe that even though bankruptcy courts have substantial powers
to void contracts, the Energy Services Agreement is likely to
survive (either in full effect or with limited modifications) due
to the energy requirements of the project, but there can be no
guarantee that we will realize any future benefits from the
project.
Our
Baha Mar project will be delayed until the new owner takes control
of the resort and our ESA contract is either terminated or assumed
by the new ownership. According to Bahamas prime minister Perry
Christie, the Bahamas' long-delayed Baha Mar Resort will open under
the ownership of Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Enterprises (CTFE),
whose companies include luxury-hotel operator Rosewood
Hotels.
We have
elected not to intervene in the Bahamas proceeding, which we
believe is in the nature of an equitable proceeding to preserve the
project and seek to reorganize so that the project can be completed
rather than liquidated. Our strategy is based on our conclusion
that the completion of the resort by any new owner will require it
to address the lack of capacity of the current electrical grid to
provide air conditioning through conventional means and the
projected energy cost savings derived from our SWAC system as
compared to conventional electricity at prevailing rates, even if
its lack of reliability in the Bahamas is discounted. By relying on
this strategy, we believe we are avoiding significant legal
representation costs. Further, we believe that we would have no
legal position to differentiate us from other unsecured creditors
with an aggregate of about $2.0 billion in claims.
Litigation
From
time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and regulatory
proceedings arising from operations. We establish reserves for
specific liabilities in connection with legal actions that
management deems to be probable and estimable.
In
early 2016, three Principals from a family office based in Memphis,
Tennessee contacted us about investing in Ocean Thermal Energy
Corporation. After conducting extensive due diligence on our
Company and its technology, prospects, Officers, and Directors, the
investors presented us with a Term Sheet to invest $42.4 million in
our Company. The Investors insisted on exclusivity, which prevented
us from continuing our fundraising efforts. The Investors also
insisted on confidentiality, preventing us from communicating their
offer until closing. We, along with our lawyers, engaged in our own
due diligence on the Investors, and found that the Investors were
known in the Memphis community as having substantial net worths,
and good reputations in the financial industry. The point person
for the Investors is a Certified Financial Planner as well as a
licensed broker and investment advisor. Based on our due diligence,
we were comfortable and excited to move forward with these
Investors.
Despite
the Investors’ promises, the Investors did not live up to
their commitment and did not fund our Company as promised. In
February of 2017, we instructed our attorneys to pursue the matter
through the Courts and to seek significant damages from all
potentially responsible parties. On May 16, 2017, we filed a civil
suit in the United States District Court in the Western District of
Tennessee.
On
March 12, 2018, the Company reached a settlement of the claims
at issue in Ocean Thermal Energy Corp. v. Robert Coe et al.,
Case No. 2:17-cv-02343SHL-cgc, before the United States District
Court for the Western District of Tennessee. The settlement
requires the defendants to make a payment of $1,075,000 within 30
days and each side to pay its own legal costs.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
December 11, 2017, the Company entered into an equity purchase
agreement with L2 Capital, LLC for up to $15,000,000. We issued
1,714,285 shares of common stock valued at $514,286 as a commitment
fee in connection with the agreement. The shares to be issued
pursuant to this agreement were covered by a Form S-1 Registration
Statement approved the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and
effective on January 29, 2018. As of the date of this filing, no
“put” options were exercised.
On
December 28, 2017, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement pursuant to which we issued a series of unsecured
promissory notes (the “Notes”) to accredited investors.
See Note 5 – Convertible Notes Payable and Notes Payable.
Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the company has raised an
additional $444,156 and issued Warrants to purchase an additional
114,500 shares of common stock for a total of 248,500 shares. On

On

Capital, LLC (L2), a Kansas limited liability company, for a loan
of up to $565,555, together with interest at the rate of eight
percent (8%) per annum (with the understanding that the initial six
months of such interest of each tranche funded shall be
guaranteed), at maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set
forth herein (the “Note”). The consideration to the
Company for this Note is up to $500,000 due to the prorated
original issuance discount of up to $55,555 (the “OID”)
and a $10,000 credit for L2’s transactional expenses. L2
shall pay $100,000 of the Consideration (the “First
Tranche”) within a reasonable amount of time of the full

Discount - $19,444; L2’s Transaction Fee - $10,000;

payment of principal on January 4, 2018, reducing the outstanding
balance to $1,122,500.
In late 2016, we entered into a
binding agreement with an investor group from Memphis, Tennessee to
invest a substantial amount of capital into our company (the
“Memphis Investors”). As part of the agreement, we were
restricted from making changes to our capital structure and,
consequently, suffered significant financial damages when the
investors did not honor their commitment and defaulted on the
agreement. On May 16, 2017, we filed a civil suit in the United
States District Court in the Western District of Tennessee.
On March 12, 2018, the Company reached a settlement of the
claims at issue in Ocean Thermal Energy Corp. v. Robert Coe et
al., Case No. 2:17-cv-02343SHL-cgc, before the United States
District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. The
settlement requires the defendants to make a payment of $1,075,000
within 30 days and each side to pay its own legal
costs.
