The purchase of the Shares being offered hereby involves certain significant risks and is suitable only for “Accredited
Investors”, as such term is defined under the Act and herein - persons of substantial means with no need for liquidity
in their investment. Each potential investor should realize that the Shares will be subject to certain restrictions on their
transfer and that there are no assurances that there will ever be a public market for the Shares. (See “Risk Factors”)
Because of the various risk factors, and the lack of liquidity of the Securities offered, each investor must represent and
warrant that the investor is of sufficient financial means to apprise himself/herself/itself of, and assume the risks
inherent in, the purchase of the Securities, including the lack of liquidity of the investment, and must evaluate whether
such investment is suitable for him/her/it based upon the investor’s investment objectives, financial situation, and
needs.
The Company intends that no securities will be sold to a prospective investor unless they assert that they are an
“Accredited Investor”, in that such investor comes within one of the categories of ‘accredited investor’ enumerated
in Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated by the SEC under the Act. Prospective investors will be required to complete
a Subscription Agreement and Purchaser Questionnaire.

Only when the Company is satisfied, as a result of the answers obtained in the Subscription Agreement and Purchaser
Questionnaire that the prospective purchaser will meet the suitability and sophistication tests described in this
Memorandum will a potential investor be accepted. If the Company is incorrect in its evaluation of the circumstances

attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each prospective purchaser will be required to represent that: (a) his/her/its commitment
to all investments is reasonable in relations to his/her/its net worth; (b) he/she/it has the requisite knowledge or has

evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment; (c) he/she/it is acknowledged by the prospective
purchaser, in writing during the course of this transaction, to be his/her/its Purchaser Representative in connection
with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities; and (d) he/she/it discloses to the

of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary,
as defined in Section 3(21) of such act, which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company,
or registered investment adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or, if a

person/persons personally for any deficiency, the excess liability will have to be deducted from the
person’s/persons’ net worth);
6) Any natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent

offered, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii); and
8) Any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors.
Investor Representations
Since the Securities will be offered without registration under the Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof, and may
also be offered without registration under the Act in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated thereunder, subscribers
will be required to make certain representations, which are set forth in the Subscription Agreement (Exhibit C or
Exhibit D hereto). Each subscriber will be required to represent, among other things that (a) he/she/it possesses the
requisite knowledge and experience to be able to assess the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities or, if
he/she/it does not have the requisite knowledge or experience, he/she/it has relied upon his/her/its Purchaser
Representative(s), (b) he/she/it knows that the Securities have not been registered under the Act and he/she/it has no
right to require such registration, (c) the Securities are being purchased for his/her/its own account for investment and
not for the interest of any other person and not for resale to others, and (d) he/she/it understands that his/her/its right
to transfer the Securities will be restricted, which includes restrictions against transfer unless the transfer is not in
violation of the Act or applicable state securities laws (including investor suitability standards) and agrees that the
Company, its Officers and Directors have not provided any financial, legal or tax advice.
Need for Suitability Standards
The special nature of the Securities and this Offering require the imposition of the minimum suitability standards
described herein. Among other factors, the relative lack of liquidity of the Securities, the long-term nature of the
investment, and the federal and state securities law exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Securities are
offered require that a prospective purchaser satisfy the minimum suitability standards before being permitted to acquire
the Securities.
Investor Suitability Standards
Accredited Investors
The purchase of the Shares being offered hereby involves certain significant risks and is suitable only for “Accredited
Investors” (AI), as such term is defined under the Act and herein, who are persons of substantial means with no need
for liquidity in their investment. Each potential investor should realize that the Shares will be subject to certain
Page 9
restrictions on their transfer and that there are no assurances that there will ever be a public market for the Shares.
(See “Risk Factors”)
Because of the various risk factors, and the lack of liquidity of the Securities offered, each investor must represent and
warrant that the investor is of sufficient financial means to apprise himself/herself/itself of, and assume the risks
inherent in, the purchase of the Securities, including the lack of liquidity of the investment, and must evaluate whether
such investment is suitable for him/her/it based upon the investor’s investment objectives, financial situation, and
needs.
The Company intends that no securities will be sold to a prospective investor unless they assert that they are an AI.
Under this Offering, Rule 506(b) of Regulation D is considered a “safe harbor” under Section 4(a)(2). It provides
objective standards that a company can rely on to meet the requirements of the Section 4(a)(2) exemption. Companies
conducting an offering under Rule 506(b) can raise an unlimited amount of money and can sell securities to an
unlimited number of accredited investors. These securities may not be sold to more than 35 non-accredited investors
(all non-accredited investors, either alone or with a purchaser representative, must meet the legal standard of having
sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of the prospective investment)

Risk Factors
The Securities offered hereby are speculative in nature and involve a high degree of risk. We and our subsidiaries are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties in our business operations, including, but not limited to, those described
below. Careful consideration of these risks, together with all of the other information included in this Offering
Memorandum and the other public information filed by us, should be made before making an investment decision.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our
business operations. Accordingly, in analyzing an investment in these Securities, prospective investors should
carefully consider, along with other matters referred to herein, the following risk factors.
Risks Related to the Company
WE HAVE A LIMITED HISTORY OF OPERATIONS AND HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED OUR
BUSINESS FOCUS. WE CANNOT ASSURE THAT WE WILL BE PROFITABLE OR OTHERWISE
SUCCESSFUL. The Company has a limited operating history and accordingly should not be utilized as the basis for
an investment decision. As we have significantly changed our business focus to Lithium Assets, Mining and
Production and are materially dependent upon our receipt of all or substantially all of the proceeds of this Offering to
commence meaningful business operations, as well as due to a number of other factors, we cannot assure we can be
profitable or otherwise successful.
WE ARE MATERIALLY DEPENDENT ON THE RECEIPT OF ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE
PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING TO ADVANCE OUR PLANNED BUSINESS OPERATIONS; WE WILL
HAVE A NEED FOR SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO ACQUIRE, CONSTRUCT AND/OR
Page 12
OTHERWISE OPERATE ONE OR MORE PRODUCTION FACILITIES; IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS
SUCH ADDITIONAL CAPITAL AS REQUIRED, OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS WILL BE
MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED AND INVESTORS MAY BE SUBJECT TO A LOSS OF THEIR
ENTIRE INVESTMENT. The Company is materially dependent on its receipt of all or substantially all of the
Maximum Proceeds of this Offering to advance our planned business operations. We are uncertain at this time as to
the period of time that the proceeds from this Offering, if any, may sustain the Company’s operations due to a number
of factors which are difficult to ascertain at this time. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the timing of receipt
of Offering proceeds, if any; the amount of Offering proceeds received, if any; the timing and expenditure of funds
associated with pre-project planning and development, among other factors. The funds from this Offering, even if the
Maximum Proceeds are received, will not be sufficient for the Company to acquire, construct and/or otherwise operate
a Lithium production facility. Due to the intensive capital nature of our planned business operations, we will be
required to access substantial additional capital beyond the proceeds of this Offering through debt and/or equity
financing. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to such additional financing and there can be no
assurances given that such financing, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are not able to
access such additional capital as required, our business and operations will be materially adversely affected and
investors may be subject to a loss of their entire investment. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Business.”
MANAGEMENT HAS BROAD DISCRETION IN THE APPLICATION OF OFFERING PROCEEDS AND
MAY CHANGE THE USE OF PROCEEDS. Approximately $21,250,000 (85%) of the estimated gross proceeds,
assuming the Maximum Proceeds sought are raised, has been allocated to working capital and general corporate
purposes, surveying and due diligence and marketing. Accordingly, the Company’s management will have broad
discretion as to the application of such proceeds. Notwithstanding its plan to develop its business as described in this
Memorandum, future events including, but not limited to, the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and
delays frequently encountered by businesses, as well as changes in the economic climate or changes in government
regulations, may make the reallocation of funds necessary or desirable. Any such reallocation will be at the sole
discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. See “Use of Proceeds.”
WE ARE NOT PROVIDING ANY AUDITED OR UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WITH THIS
MEMORANDUM. We do not have any audited financial statements, and as we are significantly changing our
business focus, we are not including any prior unaudited financial statements as we do not believe they would be
helpful in a prospective investor making an investment decision.
WE ARE AND WILL BE DEPENDENT ON MANAGEMENT AND KEY PERSONNEL AND WILL REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL SENIOR MANAGEMENT, KEY PERSONNEL AND OTHER EMPLOYEES AND
CONSULTANTS/ADVISORS IN ORDER TO MORE FULLY IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN. The
Company is and will be highly dependent on the experience of its current and future management and other key
personnel for the continuing development of its business and operations. The loss of the services of any member of
our management team and/or other key personnel as well as our inability to attract and retain additional management
and key personnel as needed or desired could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its operations. While
our CEO has had marketing and operations experience with a company involved in the development of hydrokinetic
electrical power generation and solar power generation, they have not had prior experience in developing lithium
production as called for by the Company’s new business plan. We will require additional senior management, key
personnel and other employees and consultants/advisors in order to more fully implement our business plan. See
“Management.”
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ATTRACT, TRAIN AND RETAIN QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL, OUR
BUSINESS WILL BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED. Our future success depends, to a
significant extent, on our ability to attract, train and retain qualified technical personnel, and attract and retain those
with expertise in the lithium-related markets/industry. There is substantial competition for qualified technical
personnel, and we might not be able to attract or retain qualified technical personnel. If we are unable to do so, our
business will be materially and adversely affected.
WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ANY INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS. We do not currently have any
independent directors. Independent directors may bring different perspectives and ideas to Company management
Page 13
than in the instance where Company management also serve on the Board of Directors. While we may seek and retain
qualified persons to become independent member(s) of our Board of Directors, we cannot assure when or if this may
occur.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY BE SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER DELAWARE LAW
AND PURSUANT TO OUR BYLAWS WHICH COULD ENTAIL SUBSTANTIAL EXPENDITURES BY THE
COMPANY ON THEIR BEHALF. Indemnification may be permitted of the Company’s officers, directors and
controlling persons pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Company's
bylaws. Indemnification may include expenses, such as attorney's fees, and, in certain circumstances, judgments, fines
and settlement amounts actually paid or incurred in connection with actual or threatened actions, suits or proceedings
involving such person and arising from his or her relationship with the Company except in certain circumstances where
a person is adjudged to be guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct unless a court determines that such
indemnification is fair and reasonable under the circumstances.
WE AND OUR PLANNED BUSINESSES ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND
FOREIGN LEGISLATION AND REGULATION, INCLUDING NUMEROUS ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH,
SAFETY AND OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS THAT AFFECT US AND OUR BUSINESSES'
OPERATIONS AND COSTS. THESE LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE COMPLEX, DYNAMIC AND
SUBJECT TO NEW INTERPRETATIONS OR CHANGE. IN ADDITION, NEW LAWS AND REGULATIONS
ARE CONTINUALLY BEING PROPOSED AND ENACTED THAT CREATE NEW OR REVISED
REQUIREMENTS OR STANDARDS ON US AND OUR PLANNED BUSINESSES. We and our planned
businesses are required to comply with numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations that have broad
application to us and our planned operations and limit our ability to independently make and implement management
decisions regarding, among other matters: acquiring businesses; constructing, acquiring or disposing of operating
assets; operating and maintaining electric power generating facilities and transmission and distribution system assets;
complying with safety and environmental requirements; establishing capital structures and issuing debt or equity
securities; transactions between subsidiaries and affiliates; and paying dividends or similar distributions. These laws
and regulations are implemented and enforced by various federal, state, local and foreign regulatory authorities.
Compliance with applicable laws and regulations will generally require our operations to obtain and comply with a
wide variety of licenses, permits, inspections, audits and other approvals. Further, compliance with laws and
regulations can require significant capital and operating expenditures, including expenditures for new equipment,
inspection, cleanup costs, removal and remediation costs, damages arising out of contaminated properties and refunds,
fines, penalties and injunctive measures affecting operating assets for failure to comply with environmental
regulations. Compliance activities pursuant to laws and regulations could be prohibitively expensive or otherwise
uneconomical. As a result, we could be required to shut down some facilities or alter their operations. Further, our
operations may not be able to obtain or maintain all required environmental or other regulatory approvals and permits
for their operating assets or development projects. Delays in or active opposition by third parties to obtaining any
required environmental or regulatory authorizations, failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the
authorizations or enhanced regulatory or environmental requirements may increase costs or prevent or delay our
operations from operating their facilities, developing or favorably locating new facilities or expanding existing
facilities. If our planned operations fail to comply with any environmental or other regulatory requirements, they may
be subject to penalties and fines or other sanctions, including changes to the way our electric generating facilities are
operated that may adversely impact generation. The costs of complying with laws and regulations could adversely
affect our consolidated financial results. Not being able to operate existing facilities or develop new electric power
generating facilities to meet customer electricity needs could require our operations to increase their purchases of
electricity on the wholesale market, which could increase market and price risks and adversely affect our consolidated
financial results.
Existing laws and regulations, while comprehensive, are subject to changes and revisions from ongoing policy
initiatives by legislators and regulators and to interpretations that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. For
example, changes in laws and regulations could result in, but are not limited to: increased competition within our
operations' service territories; new environmental requirements, including the implementation of emissions reduction
goals; the issuance of stricter air quality standards; the implementation of energy efficiency mandates; the issuance of
Page 14
regulations over the management and disposal of certain fuel byproducts; changes in forecasting requirements;
changes to our intended subsidiaries' service territories as a result of condemnation or takeover by municipalities or
other governmental entities, particularly where they lack the exclusive right to serve their customers; and the inability
of our planned operations' to recover their costs. In addition to changes in existing legislation and regulation, new
laws and regulations are likely to be enacted from time to time that impose additional or new requirements or standards
on our businesses.
Implementing actions required under, and otherwise complying with, new federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations and changes in existing ones are among the most challenging aspects of managing power generation
facilities. We cannot accurately predict the type or scope of future laws and regulations that may be enacted, changes
in existing ones or new interpretations by agency orders or court decisions nor can we determine their impact on us at
this time; however, any one of these could adversely affect our consolidated financial results through higher capital
expenditures and operating costs or restrict or otherwise cause an adverse change in how we operate our businesses.
To the extent that our regulated operations are not allowed by their regulators to recover or cannot otherwise recover
the costs to comply with new laws and regulations or changes in existing ones, the costs of complying with such
additional requirements could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial results. Additionally, even
if such costs are recoverable in rates, if they are substantial and result in rates increasing to levels that substantially
reduce customer demand, this could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial results.
WE WILL RELY ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTORS AND/OR VENDORS FOR
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATIONS FOR OUR OPERATION(S), WHICH COULD PREVENT US FROM
DELIVERING OUR PROJECTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS WITHIN REQUIRED TIME FRAMES, AND WHICH
COULD RESULT IN SALES AND INSTALLATION DELAYS, SUPPLY SHORTAGES, CANCELLATIONS,
PRICE INCREASES, LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND LOSS OF MARKET SHARE. We will be purchasing our
technology and, where applicable, having power plants built out by a limited number of international and domestic
contractors and/or vendors. If we fail to develop or maintain our relationships with our limited vendors and/or
suppliers, we may be unable to install, refurbish, upgrade or operate our facilities or our facilities may only be able to
operate at a higher cost or after a long delay, which could prevent us from delivering our electrical power to our
customers within the required time frames. We may experience contract/order cancellations and loss of market share.
Furthermore, the current credit environment is having a significant negative impact on many businesses around the
world, and its impact on our suppliers cannot be predicted at this time. Our contractors and/or vendors will typically
require a significant amount of cash deposits from the Company. As a result of the macro-economic challenges
currently affecting the economy of the U.S. and other parts of the world, our suppliers may experience serious cash
flow problems, and as a result, could seek to significantly and quickly increase their prices or reduce their output. The
inability of our suppliers to access liquidity, or the insolvency of our suppliers, could lead to their failure to deliver
raw materials to the Company. Our inability to obtain raw materials in a timely manner from suppliers could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
WE ARE ACTIVELY PURSUING AND INTEND TO ACQUIRE, DEVELOP AND/OR CONSTRUCT OF NEW
POWER GENERATION AND LITHIUM PRODUCTION FACILITIES, THE COMPLETION AND EXPECTED
COSTS OF WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RISK, AND FUNDING NEEDS. We are pursuing the
acquisition, development and/or construction of new, existing or to-be-expanded power generation facilities. We
expect that these planned operations will incur substantial annual capital expenditures over the next several years.
Such expenditures could include, among others, lithium production facilities, power generation equipment with
respective facilities, and environmental control and compliance systems.
Development, construction, and/or expansion of lithium production facilities and/or power generation facilities are
subject to substantial risks, including fluctuations in the price and availability of commodities, manufactured goods,
equipment, labor, siting and permitting and changes in environmental and operational compliance matters, load
forecasts and other items over a multi-year construction period, as well as counterparty risk and the economic viability
of our suppliers, customers and contractors. Certain development, construction, refurbishment and/or expansion
projects will be substantially dependent upon a single supplier or contractor, and replacement of such supplier or
contractor may be difficult and cannot be assured. These risks may result in the inability to timely complete a project
or higher than expected costs to complete a power generation facility and place it in service. Such costs may not be
Page 15
recoverable in the regulated rates or market or contract prices our intended operations are able to charge their
customers. Delays in development, construction, refurbishment and/or expansion of power generation projects may
result in delayed in-service dates which may result in the loss of income. The inability to successfully and timely
complete a project, avoid unexpected costs or to recover any such costs could adversely affect our consolidated
financial results. It is also possible that additional power generation needs, if required, may be obtained through power
purchase agreements (“PPA(s)”) with a third party, which could increase long-term purchase obligations and cause
reliance on the operating performance of such third party.
Furthermore, our operations will depend upon both internal and external sources of liquidity to provide working capital
and to fund capital requirements. If we do not provide needed funding to our planned operations and we are unable
to obtain funding from external sources, we may need to postpone or cancel planned operations.
Failure to implement planned development, construction, refurbishment and/or expansion projects could affect our
reputation, limit opportunities for growth, increase operating costs, and adversely affect power generation.
A SIGNIFICANT SUSTAINED DECREASE IN DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY OR LITHIUM BATTERIES
IN THE MARKETS SERVED BY OUR OPERATIONS WOULD DECREASE OUR OPERATING REVENUE
AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS. A significant sustained
decrease in demand for electricity in the markets served by our operations would significantly reduce our operating
revenue and could adversely affect our consolidated financial results. Factors that could lead to a decrease in market
demand include, among others:
• a depression, recession or other adverse economic condition that results in a lower level of economic
activity or reduced spending by consumers on electricity;
• an increase in the market price of electricity or a decrease in the price of other competing forms of
energy;
• efforts by customers, legislators and regulators to reduce the consumption of energy through various
conservation and energy efficiency measures and programs;
• higher fuel taxes or other governmental or regulatory actions that increase, directly or indirectly, the cost
of fuel sources for electricity generation or that limit the generation of electricity from or the use of
certain fuel sources, such as natural gas or fossil fuels;
• a shift to more energy-efficient or alternative fuel machinery or an improvement in fuel economy,
whether as a result of technological advances by manufacturers, legislation mandating higher fuel
economy or lower emissions, price differentials, incentives or otherwise;
• a reduction in federal, state, local and/or foreign subsidies or tax incentives, if any, that may be
provided to electrical power generation providers, as well as to agricultural, industrial or other
customers, or a significant sustained change in prices for commodities such as ethanol or corn for
ethanol manufacturers; and
• sustained mild weather that reduces heating or cooling needs.
OUR DEPENDENCE ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT
FLUCTUATIONS OR DECLINES IN OUR REVENUES. We anticipate that we will be dependent on a limited
number of customers which will continue for the foreseeable future. Consequently, any one of the following events
may cause material fluctuations or declines in our revenues:
• reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from one or more of our significant customers;
• selection by one or more of our significant customers of products competitive with ours;
Page 16
• loss of one or more of our significant customers due to PPA and/or other disputes, dissatisfaction with our
products and/or services or otherwise, and our failure to attract additional or replacement customers; and
• failure of any of our significant customers to make timely payment for our products and electric power
generation services.
We will be exposed to the credit risk of these customers, all of whom will be new customers with whom we have not
historically had any business dealings. The failure of any of these significant customers to meet their payment
obligations would materially and adversely affect our financial position, liquidity and results of operations.
INFLATION AND CHANGES IN COMMODITY PRICES AND FUEL TRANSPORTATION COSTS MAY
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS. Inflation and increases in commodity
prices and fuel transportation costs may affect our businesses by increasing both operating and capital costs. As a
result of existing rate agreements, contractual arrangements or competitive price pressures, our operations may not
be able to pass the costs of inflation on to their customers. If our operations are unable to manage cost increases or
pass them on to their customers, our consolidated financial results could be adversely affected.
THERE IS A LONG LEAD TIME ASSOCIATED WITH NEGOTIATING AND ENTERING INTO POWER
PURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND FULLY SATISFYING THEIR CONDITIONS PRIOR TO THE
GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY AND OUR RECEIPT OF INCOME FROM A POWER GENERATION
PROJECT. We expect, based on experiences of other companies with whom we are familiar, that there is and will
be a long lead time associated with negotiating and entering into PPA(s) and fully satisfying their conditions prior to
the time that electricity is generated and we receive income from such electric power generation. Such agreements
will generally provide for environmental impact studies to be undertaken, which may take a period of approximately
6 months to approximately 5 years and governmental approvals and project financing to be obtained prior to the
acquisition, development and/or construction of new, existing or to-be-expanded power generation facilities, and
its/their connection to the subject jurisdictions’ electric power grids. As such, we will not receive any ongoing income
stream from a particular project for lengthy, sometimes indeterminate periods of time until there may be compliance
with all PPA conditions precedent to electrical power generation.
WE AND/OR OUR SUBSIDIARIES PLAN TO PAY SUCCESS FEES AND COMMISSIONS TO THIRD
PARTIES WHO HELP US SECURE POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND/OR OTHER BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITIES; OUR PAYMENT OF SUCH SUCCESS FEES AND COMMISSIONS WILL REDUCE OUR
GROSS MARGINS AND/OR GROSS PROFITABILITY. We and/or our subsidiaries plan in certain instances, in
accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, to pay success fees and commissions to third parties who help
us secure PPAs and/or other business opportunities. In many if not all such instances, such success fees and
commissions will be paid for the term of the subject project. Payment of such success fees and commissions will
reduce our gross margins and/or gross profitability on a consolidated basis.
COMPETITION. The lithium and power generation industry is highly competitive and continually evolving as
participants strive to distinguish themselves within their markets. Within the power generation industry, we will
compete with conventional energy generation sources and renewable energy sources such as but not limited to, solar,
wind, hydro, and hybrid conventional and geothermal. Certain of our existing or future competitors may be part of
larger corporations that have greater financial resources and greater brand name recognition than we do and, as a
result, may be better positioned to adapt to changes in the industry or the economy as a whole. Certain competitors
may have direct or indirect access to sovereign capital, which could enable such competitors to operate at minimal or
negative operating margins for sustained periods of time.
In addition, we expect to compete with future entrants to the power generation industry that offer new technological
solutions. We also face competition from companies that currently offer or are developing other renewable energy
technologies (including but not limited to waste to energy, wind, hydropower, geothermal, biomass, and tidal
technologies) and other power generation sources that burn conventional fossil fuels.
OUR FAILURE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS MAY UNDERMINE OUR
COMPETITIVE POSITION, AND LITIGATION TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Page 17
OR DEFEND AGAINST THIRD-PARTY ALLEGATIONS OF INFRINGEMENT MAY BE COSTLY. We will
rely primarily on patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright law and other contractual restrictions to protect our
intellectual property. Nevertheless, these afford only limited protection and the actions we take to protect our
intellectual property rights may not be adequate. Third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietary
technologies, if any or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or operating results. Policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology can be difficult and
expensive. Also, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or
determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. We cannot assure that the outcome of such potential
litigation will be in our favor. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair our intellectual property
rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation.
WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES,
WHICH, IF DETERMINED ADVERSELY AGAINST US, COULD CAUSE US TO PAY SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE AWARDS. Our success depends in part on our ability to utilize technology and develop our know-how
without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. The validity and scope of claims relating to electrical
power generation patents involve complex scientific, legal and factual questions and analysis and, therefore, may be
highly uncertain. We may be subject to litigation involving claims of patent infringement or violation of intellectual
property rights of third parties. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, patent opposition
proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings can be both costly and time consuming and may
significantly divert the efforts and resources of our technical and management personnel. An adverse determination
in any such litigation or proceedings to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liability to third
parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties, to pay ongoing royalties, or to subject us to injunctions
prohibiting the use of certain technologies and/or equipment we may be utilizing. Protracted litigation could also result
in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their use of our electrical power generation services until
resolution of such litigation.
IF WE FAIL TO MANAGE GROWTH EFFECTIVELY, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
In the event we experience growth, we anticipate that we will need to implement a variety of new and upgraded
operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, including the improvement of our accounting and other
internal management systems, all of which require substantial management efforts. We will also need to continue to
expand, train, manage and motivate our workforce, manage our customer relationships, when developed,
governmental relationships, and manage our relationships with contractors, manufactures and suppliers. All of these
endeavors, including any acquisitions which we may undertake, and which may not prove successful, will require
substantial management effort and skill and incurrence of additional expenditures. We might not be able to manage
our growth effectively, and any failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on our business.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN MANAGING AND EXPANDING INTO DEVELOPING AND
EMERGING MARKETS. Due principally to our management’s relationships and contacts, we plan to pursue our
initial business development efforts in Chile and sell lithium worldwide. We will be required to hire, train and retain
qualified personnel in these jurisdictions where language, cultural and regulatory barriers may exist. Any difficulties
we experience in pursuing and expanding our business development efforts in developing and emerging markets may
adversely affect our business and operations.
WE ARE EXPOSED TO POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND OTHER RISKS THAT ARISE FROM OPERATING
A PLANNED MULTINATIONAL BUSINESS. Our planned international operations will be subject to a number
of potential risks. Such risks principally include, depending upon the particular jurisdiction:
• trade protection measures and currency exchange controls;
• labor union and non-union disputes;
• regional economic conditions;
• political instability;
• terrorist activities and the U.S. and international response thereto;
• restrictions on the transfer of funds into or out of a country;
• export duties and quotas;
Page 18
• domestic and foreign customs and tariffs;
• current and changing regulatory environments in the various jurisdictions in which we may conduct our
business;
• our compliance and that of our agents and representatives with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(“FCPA”);
• difficulties protecting our intellectual property;
• costs and difficulties in integrating, staffing and managing international operations, especially in certain
developing and emerging markets;
• difficulty in obtaining distribution support; and
• current and changing tax laws.
In addition, many of the nations in which we may eventually operate have developing legal and economic systems,
adding greater uncertainty to our planned operations in those countries than would be expected in North America and
Western Europe. These factors may have an adverse effect on our international operations in the future.
WE ARE EXPOSED TO RISKS RELATED TO FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE
RATES. Our business operations and investments are targeted for the most part outside the United States which
increase our risk related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our principal reporting currency is the
United States dollar, and the value of the assets and liabilities, earnings, cash flows and potential distributions from our
foreign operations changes with the fluctuations of the currency in which they transact, except as in the case of The
Bahamas. We may selectively reduce some foreign currency exchange rate risk by, among other things, requiring
contracted amounts be settled in, or indexed to, United States dollars or a currency freely convertible into United States
dollars, or hedging through foreign currency derivatives. These efforts, however, may not be effective and could
negatively affect our consolidated financial results. We may not be able to obtain sufficient dollars or other hard
currency or available dollars may not be allocated to pay such obligations, which could adversely affect our
consolidated financial results.
POTENTIAL TERRORIST ACTIVITIES AND THE IMPACT OF MILITARY OR OTHER ACTIONS,
INCLUDING CYBERATTACKS, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
RESULTS. The ongoing threat of terrorism and the impact of military or other actions by nations or politically,
ethnically or religiously motivated organizations regionally or globally may create increased political, economic,
social and financial market instability, which could subject our operations to increased risks. Additionally, the United
States government has issued warnings that energy assets, specifically power generation and other electric utility
infrastructure are potential targets for terrorist organizations. Cyberattacks could adversely affect our ability to
operate our facilities, information technology and business systems, or compromise confidential customer and
employee information. Political, economic, social or financial market instability or damage to or interference with
the operating assets of our subsidiaries, customers or suppliers may result in business interruptions, lost revenue,
higher commodity prices, disruption in fuel supplies, lower energy consumption and unstable markets, particularly
with respect to electricity and natural gas, and increased security, repair or other costs, any of which may materially
adversely affect us and our subsidiaries in ways that cannot be predicted at this time. Any of these risks could
materially affect our consolidated financial results. Furthermore, instability in the financial markets as a result of
terrorism, sustained or significant cyberattacks, or war could also materially adversely affect our ability to raise
capital.
NONCOMPLIANCE WITH PRESENT OR FUTURE CONSTRUCTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATIONS MAY RESULT IN POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT MONETARY DAMAGES AND FINES. We
are aware of other companies which began constructing and operating lithium exploration and production facilities
along with electric power generation facilities without having obtained all of the necessary construction and
environmental permits. Although they have subsequently obtained all of the construction and environmental permits
for these facilities, they are still subject to fines or penalties for past non-compliance. It is our goal and intention not
to operate in this fashion; we could be subject to fines or penalties for any non-compliance which we may incur even
though it is our goal to fulfill all necessary regulatory requirements.
Page 19
Because the manufacturing and assembly processes of our intended subcontractors generate noise, waste water, and
other industrial wastes, they will be required to comply with national and local environmental regulations. If they fail
to comply with present or future environmental regulations, they may be required to pay substantial fines, suspend
production or cease operations. Any failure by them to control the use or to adequately restrict the discharge of
hazardous substances could subject them to potentially significant monetary damages and fines or suspensions in their
business operations, which would have a materially adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AS WELL AS THE OCCURRENCE OF
ENVIRONMENTAL INCIDENTS COULD BE COSTLY, REQUIRE US TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT
EXPENDITURES AND SUBJECT US TO SUBSTANTIAL LIABILITY IF WE ARE FOUND TO BE IN NON-
COMPLIANCE OR IF ENVIRONMENTAL ACCIDENTS OCCUR INVOLVING THE MANUFACTURE,
ASSEMBLY, CONSTRUCTION AND/OR UTILIZATION OF OUR PLANNED POWER GENERATION
FACILITIES. Some of our planned manufacturing and assembly processes, whether completed by us or by our
contracted manufacturers and assemblers, may generate hazardous and non-hazardous wastes in the normal course of
such manufacturing and assembly operations. As a result, we and/or our contracted manufactures and assemblers will
be subject to a wide range of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. These laws and
regulations govern actions that may have adverse environmental effects and require compliance with certain practices
when handling and disposing of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. These laws and regulations also impose liability
for the costs of, and damages resulting from, cleaning up sites, past spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous
substances, should any of such events occur. No such incidents have occurred which required us to pay any amounts
to comply with such laws and regulations, however, we cannot assure that this will continue to be the case.
THE OPERATION OF LITHIUM PRODUCTION AND/OR POWER GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
FACILITIES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL
RESULTS. WE AND/OR OUR SUBSIDIARIES MAY NOT HAVE ADEQUATE RISK MITIGATION AND/
OR INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR LIABILITIES. We plan to be in the business of lithium exploration and production electrical power generation as well as
possibly distributing electricity, both of which involve certain risks that can adversely affect financial and
operating performance, including:
• changes in the availability of our generation facilities or distribution systems due to increases in
scheduled and unscheduled plant outages, equipment failure, failure of transmission systems, labor
disputes, disruptions in fuel supply, inability to comply with regulatory or permit requirements or
catastrophic events such as fires, floods, storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, explosions, terrorist acts or
other similar occurrences; and
• changes in our operating cost structure including, but not limited to, increases in costs relating to: various
fuel types; fuel transportation; purchased electricity; operations, maintenance and repair; environmental
compliance, including the cost of purchasing emissions offsets and capital expenditures to install
environmental emission equipment; transmission access; and insurance.
Our businesses will require reliable transportation sources (including related infrastructure such as roads, ports and
rail), power sources and water sources to access and conduct operations. The availability and cost of this
infrastructure affects capital and operating costs and levels of production and sales. Limitations, or interruptions in
this infrastructure or at the facilities of our subsidiaries, including as a result of third parties intentionally or
unintentionally disrupting this infrastructure or the facilities of our subsidiaries, could impede their ability to
produce electricity. This could have a material adverse effect on our businesses’ results of operations, financial
condition and prospects.
In addition, a portion of the generation facilities that we may operate may have been constructed many years ago.
Older generating equipment may require significant capital expenditures for maintenance. The equipment at such
plants, whether old or new, is also likely to require periodic upgrading, improvement or repair, and replacement
Page 20
equipment or parts may be difficult to obtain in circumstances where we rely on a single supplier or a small number
of suppliers. The inability to obtain replacement equipment or parts may impact the ability of our plants to perform
and could therefore have a material impact on our business and results of operations. Breakdown or failure of one
of our operating facilities may prevent the facility from performing under applicable power sales agreements which,
in certain situations, could result in termination of a power purchase or other agreement or incurrence of a liability
for liquidated damages and/or other penalties.
As a result of the above risks and other potential hazards associated with batteries and power generation and
distribution industries, we may from time to time become exposed to significant liabilities for which we may not
have adequate risk mitigation and/or insurance coverage. Power generation involves hazardous activities, including
acquiring, transporting and unloading fuel, operating large pieces of rotating equipment and delivering electricity to
transmission and distribution systems. In addition to natural risks, such as earthquakes, floods, lightning, hurricanes
and wind, hazards, such as fire, explosion, collapse and machinery failure, are inherent risks in our operations which
may occur as a result of inadequate internal processes, technological flaws, human error or actions of third parties or
other external events. The control and management of these risks depend upon adequate development and training
of personnel and on the existence of operational procedures, preventative maintenance plans and specific programs
supported by quality control systems which reduce, but do not eliminate, the possibility of the occurrence and impact
of these risks.
The hazards described above, along with other safety hazards associated with our operations, can cause significant
personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property, plant and equipment, contamination of,
or damage to, the environment and suspension of operations. The occurrence of any one of these events may result
in our being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting claims for substantial damages, environmental cleanup costs,
personal injury and fines and/or penalties. While we plan to maintain an amount of insurance protection that we
believe is customary, there can be no assurance that our insurance will be sufficient or effective under all
circumstances and against all hazards or liabilities to which we may be subject. A claim for which we are not fully
insured or insured at all could hurt our financial results and materially harm our financial condition. Further, due to
rising insurance costs and changes in the insurance markets, we cannot provide assurance that insurance coverage
will continue to be available on terms similar to those presently available to us or at all. Any losses not covered by
insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Our businesses’ insurance, when obtained, will not cover every potential risk associated with our planned
operations. Adequate coverage at reasonable rates is not always obtainable. In addition, insurance may not fully
cover the liability or the consequences of any business interruptions such as equipment failure or labor dispute.
The occurrence of a significant adverse event not fully or partially covered by insurance could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, results or operations, financial condition and prospects.
POTENTIAL CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS MAY IMPACT OUR CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL RESULTS AND DISCLOSURES IN THE FUTURE, AND AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO
PREPARE OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON AS TIMELY A BASIS AS WE MAY DESIRE OR AS MAY
BE REQUIRED BY ONE OR MORE REGULATORY AGENCIES OR A PROSPECTIVE OR THEN
CURRENT FUNDING SOURCE.
The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), which establishes accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) guidelines that companies follow in the United States, and the International
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), which is an international accounting standards setter outside of the United
States, are presently engaged in a project to converge several accounting standards. The convergence project may
result in the issuance of several new accounting standards in the future that revise existing GAAP accounting
standards and which the Company may be required to adopt under GAAP.
Based on the present timeline released by the FASB, several pronouncements could be issued in final form in 2013.
Although the release of final pronouncements is not assured and the proposed adoption dates of these standards
have not been set, each new standard that the Company must comply with may require significant effort to adopt.
Page 21
For each new standard, the Company will be required to evaluate the impact of any accounting changes necessitated
by a new standard which will include, but not be limited to, an evaluation of a new standard’s impact on its financial
statements and contractual arrangements; planning for and implementation of any changes to accounting systems;
processes and procedures to ensure the Company properly complies with a new standard; and training personnel.
To the extent that multiple standards are effective as of one date or in close proximity to one another, the Company
may require considerable resources to achieve compliance with these new standards. An inability to complete these
efforts prior to their effective date could have an adverse effect on our ability to prepare our financial statements on
as timely a basis as we may desire or as may be required by one or more regulatory agencies or a prospective or
then current funding source.
Risks Related to the Offering and Our Securities
THIS IS A BEST EFFORTS OFFERING; ACCORDINGLY, NO ASSURANCES ARE GIVEN THAT ANY
SHARES WILL BE SOLD. The Offering is being effected on a best efforts basis, there is no firm commitment on
the part of anyone to purchase all or any part of this Offering, and no assurance is given that any part of the Offering
will be sold. The completion of this Offering is not subject to the purchase of a minimum number of Shares. All funds
received will be deposited directly into the Company’s operating account and not be subject to refund except in
accordance with applicable law.
THE COMPANY MAY REJECT SUBSCRIPTIONS; ACCORDINGLY, NO ASSURANCES ARE GIVEN THAT
A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE SHARES IN THE OFFERING. The Company
reserves the right to reject any subscription to purchase Shares for any reason in whole or in part, notwithstanding
tender of payment. Therefore, there is no assurance that a potential investor desiring to purchase Shares will be able
to do so.
THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE SHARES HAS BEEN ARBITRARILY DETERMINED BY COMPANY
MANAGEMENT AND IS NOT BASED ON ANY RECOGNIZED CRITERIA OF VALUE. The price of the Shares
has been arbitrarily determined by Company management and is not based on any generally recognized criteria of
value such as assets, earnings, or book value.
CONTINUED CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT. Upon completion of this Offering, if all Shares are issued, the
officers and directors of the Company will beneficially own approximately 70%-80% of the Company’s issued and
outstanding shares of common stock, and approximately 72% calculated on a fully diluted basis (assuming the
conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock). See “Description of
Securities”. The Company’s stockholders do not have the right to cumulative voting in the election of
directors. Accordingly, current common stock holders, and specifically current management, will be in a position to
effectively control the Company, including the election of all of the directors of the Company, regardless of the amount
of Securities which may be sold in this Offering. (See “Management” and “Principal Shareholders”.)
DIVIDENDS MAY ONLY BE PAID OUT OF ASSETS WHICH ARE LEGALLY AVAILABLE FOR DIVIDEND
PAYMENTS; CONVERSION OF SHARES TO COMMON STOCK WAS AT SOLE OPTION OF COMPANY.
Although this Offering is for Common Stock only, please note that, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Company’s Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences pertaining to the Company’s Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are no longer entitled to receive dividends
which was payable, at the sole option of the Company’s Board of Directors, in cash and/or in shares of the Company’s
restricted common stock not registered under the Act when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors,
out of assets which are legally available for the payment of such dividends, at an annual rate equal to eight percent
(8%) per annum per Share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (which amount was subject to equitable
adjustment whenever there shall occur after the date of issuance a stock dividend, stock split, combination,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, or other similar event involving the Shares), payable quarterly (two
percent (2%) per quarter). As such, no dividends will in fact be paid to holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has been converted fully as of Dec 30, 2017.
Page 22
Any or all of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding were, at the sole option of the Company,
converted by the Company on December 30, 2017, after thirty-six (36) months from the time of the Company’s
acceptance of a holder’s subscription proceeds for the Shares owned by the holder. The number of shares of common
stock to which a holder of the Shares were entitled to receive upon conversion at the rate of three (3) shares of common
stock for each one (1) Share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted, subject to equitable adjustment
after the date of issuance a stock dividend, stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
merger (other than a change of domicile merger) consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets
or other similar event involving the common stock. See “Description of Securities.”
WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE STOCK OPTIONS AND/OR OTHER SECURITIES TO ACQUIRE
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK WITH EXERCISE PRICES BELOW FAIR MARKET VALUE TO
ATTRACT ADDITIONAL QUALIFIED PERSONNEL; IF THIS OCCURS, THIS WILL HAVE THE EFFECT
OF CAUSING DILUTION TO INVESTORS IN THIS OFFERING AND MAY CAUSE THE COMPANY TO
TAKE AN EXPENSE CHARGE. We may find, in order to attract certain additional qualified personnel, that we will
have to issue stock options and/or other securities to acquire shares of our common stock with exercise prices below
fair market value. If this were to occur, this will have the effect of causing dilution to investors in this Offering and
may cause the Company to take an expense charge at the time of grant equal to the difference between the then fair
market value of our common stock and the exercise price set forth in the subject security.
THERE MAY BE OTHER POSSIBLE ISSUANCES OF ADDITIONAL COMPANY EQUITY SECURITIES
WHICH, IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, WILL DILUTE INVESTORS IN THIS OFFERING AND MAY CAUSE
THE COMPANY TO TAKE AN EXPENSE CHARGE. In the event, during the course of this Offering, or thereafter,
that the Company has the opportunity, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Certificate of
Designations, Rights and Preferences pertaining to the Shares, to accept a substantial convertible debt, convertible
equity and/or equity infusion on terms that it deems reasonable, it is possible that the conversion price or equity price
per share, as the case may be, may be substantially less than the deemed conversion price per Share of the Shares
offered hereby. In such event, investors in this Offering will be subject to dilution and the Company may be caused
to take an expense charge to earnings at the time of the conversion of the convertible debt instrument or convertible
equity and/or the equity issuance date, as the case may be, equal to the difference between the then fair market value
of our common stock and the conversion price or the price of the shares upon issuance, respectively.
THERE MAY BE A POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT OF PREFERRED STOCK ON RIGHTS OF HOLDERS
OF COMMON STOCK. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to
50,000,000 shares of preferred stock (inclusive of the Shares offered hereby) with the Board of Directors having the
right to determine the designations, rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of one or more series of preferred
stock. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered (without shareholder approval subject to the terms and
conditions of the Company’s Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences pertaining to the Shares), to issue
preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting
power and equity interest of the holders of the common stock. Such additional preferred stock issuances (subject to
the terms and conditions of the Company’s Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences pertaining to the
Shares), could, among other things, be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be utilized as a
method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company. The possible impact on takeover
attempts could adversely affect the price of the Company’s common stock. See “Description of Securities – Preferred
Stock.”
THE SECURITIES THAT ARE BEING OFFERED ARE RESTRICTED SECURITIES AS SUCH TERM IS
UTILIZED IN RULE 144 PROMULGATED BY THE SEC UNDER THE ACT, AND GENERALLY MAY NOT
BE PUBLICLY SOLD EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH RULE, OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION, IF ANY,
FROM SECURITIES REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT. The Shares constitute restricted securities, which,
generally, are defined as securities acquired directly from an issuer in a private transaction not involving a public
offering and exempt from securities registration under the Act. Pursuant to such rule, they may publicly be sold by
non-affiliates (generally defined as someone who is not an officer, director and/or 10% or greater shareholder of the
Company, and who has not held any of such positions for the three (3) months prior to the proposed sale) of the
Page 23
Company without any restrictions after the subject Shares have been held at least one year, subject to there being a
public trading market for such Shares, which is not expected. Affiliates of the Company are and will be subject to
volume, manner of sale and other restrictions and limitations in accordance with the terms of such rule.
THERE IS NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR ANY OF OUR SECURITIES AND WE CANNOT ASSURE THAT A
PUBLIC MARKET WILL EVER DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED IF DEVELOPED; PROSPECTIVE
INVESTORS DESIRING IMMEDIATE LIQUIDITY IN THEIR INVESTMENT SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE
IN THIS OFFERING. There is currently no public market for the Company’s common stock or the Shares. The
Company is not planning on taking any steps to facilitate a public market in the Shares and we are uncertain at this
time as to what efforts, if any, we may undertake to facilitate a public market in the Company’s common stock.
Prospective investors in this Offering who desire immediate liquidity as to their investment should not participate in
this Offering.
THERE ARE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUED AND
OUTSTANDING ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE UNDER RULE 144 WHICH COULD HAVE A
DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK IF A PUBLIC MARKET IS
DEVELOPED, AND COULD IMPAIR THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL THROUGH THE
SALE OF ITS EQUITY SECURITIES. The Company has authorized 250,000,000 shares of common stock of which
55,157,862 shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Memorandum and 55,157,862
shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis, assuming the sale of all of the Shares offered hereby and their
conversion into shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, of which no assurances are given), have not been
registered under the Act, and will be eligible for future sale under Rule 144 of the Act. Future sales of such common
stock under Rule 144 may have a depressive effect on the market price of the common stock if a public market
develops for such stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities.
THERE ARE MARKET LIQUIDITY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW-PRICED STOCK DUE TO CERTAIN
SEC REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO OFFER AND SALE OF PENNY STOCKS BY BROKER-DEALERS.
SEC regulations define a ‘penny stock’ to be any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price (as therein
defined) of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a
penny stock, of a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the
securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock
held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
The forgoing required penny stock restrictions will not apply to the Company’s common stock if such securities are
listed on NASDAQ and have certain price and volume information provided on a current and continuing basis or if
we meet certain minimum net tangible assets or average revenue criteria. There can be no assurances that the
Company’s common stock, if ever publicly traded, will be exempt from these restrictions. If the Company’s common
stock were subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, the market liquidity for the Company’s common stock could be
severely adversely affected. Due to such disclosure requirements, the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s
common stock and thus the ability of purchasers of the Company’s common stock to sell their securities in any
secondary market may be adversely affected.
WE ARE RELYING UPON A PRIVATE OFFERING EXEMPTION FROM THE SECURITIES
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SHARES OFFERED HEREBY.
IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE
PRIVATE OFFER AND SALE OF SECURITIES, WE MAY FACE SEVERE FINANCIAL DEMANDS FROM
RESCINDING INVESTORS THAT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY
AND NON-RESCINDING INVESTORS. The Shares are being offered to prospective investors under the private
offering exemptions from registration available under the Act and the laws of the several states in which the Shares
will be offered and sold. If the Company should fail to comply with the requirements of these exemptions, the holders
of the Shares may have the right to rescind their purchase of the Shares if they so desire. Since compliance with the
exemption rules is highly technical, it is possible that if a holder of the Shares seeks rescission, he/she/it may succeed.
Page 24
If a number of holders of the Shares were to successfully seek rescission, the Company would face severe financial
demands that could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the non-rescinding holders.
THE COMPANY’S OFFERING DOCUMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE SEC OR ANY STATE
REGULATORY AUTHORITIES; SUCH REVIEW, IF UNDERTAKEN, COULD HAVE RESULTED IN
ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT DISCLOSURES THAN PRESENTED. Because this Offering is a private
offering, this Memorandum has not been reviewed by the SEC or by any state securities commissions. Such review
could have resulted in additional disclosure or disclosures involving a different format or substance from those set
forth herein.
COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY IS NOT SERVING AS COUNSEL FOR INVESTORS IN THIS OFFERING. Counsel for the Company is not and will not be serving as counsel for any of the prospective investors or investors in
this Offering. Prospective investors are strongly encouraged to consult with counsel and/or other professional advisors
of their choosing before making any investment in the Shares offered hereby.

The Company
Mission Statement
To provide Alternative Renewable Energy Solutions through Lithium Production Facilities, while remaining as
Environmentally Conscious as possible in the process.
General
Upower, Inc. (UPI) is a global renewable energy holding company and developer. In January 2014, our subsidiary,
Upower Honduras, signed a much-publicized 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the government of
Honduras and their National Electric Company, Empresa Nacional de Energia Electrica (ENEE). Our two 50
MW Projects, PRODERSSA and Pacific Solar Energy (PSE), which when developed, became Latin America’s
largest solar project to date at 100 Megawatts in August 2015. Funded for $232MM in 2015 by a division of The
World Bank, the Project 8404 is completed, sold-off, and fully operational in the west coast city of Nacaome,
Honduras, producing 100 megawatts an hour for the next 20 years, generating 120 gigawatts of electricity
annually for approximately 152,000 Honduran households. Upower is currently in consideration of several Solar
PV Projects globally with a primary focus on several Projects for Lithium (Li) Mining and Production,
including one or more Pilot Manufacturing Facilities and Full-Scale Commercialized Facilities in Chile, near
the Atacama Desert, where the largest amount Brine Pool Salt Salares with the highest concentration of Lithium
exist worldwide. Our consortium, spearheaded by Upower, intends to deploy Patented Lithium Extraction
Technologies via established Strategic Partnerships to produce Lithium Chloride, Lithium Carbonate, Lithium
Hydroxide, and Lithium Cathodes for the fast-growing Lithium Battery Markets in Energy Storage and
Electric Vehicles (EV) globally. Our goal of making these projects a reality, now contribute to the 44% of the
clean power generation Honduras is experiencing today and a great example to the rest of the world, according to
Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Upower in Chile has a big focus on the acquisition and development of
Brine Pools and Lithium Mines for Li extraction and production for Commodities sales and transactions.
Page 25
Upower, Inc. was founded on July 30th, 2010 originally as Blue Green Energy Marketing and Research, Inc.. The
Company was initially involved in identifying various opportunities in the power generation industry and selling this
information to its customers. On April 3rd, 2013 the name of the Company was changed to Upower, Inc.. On May
1st, 2013 Mr. David Macias and management entered into a stock purchase agreement with Upower, Inc. and its sole
shareholder and director and acquired all of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company for nominal
consideration. Thereafter, upon other Management’s resignation, a purchase and transfer of shares were made to Mr.
Macias, CEO/Chairman. Mr. Macias, who became the majority shareholder in Upower, Inc. after the transfer of
ownership of the Honduran Project, Upower Honduras as of 2015.
Independent Power Provider Becomes An Incubator of Opportunities
Through the lifetime of a renewable energy project, from inception to construction, a project goes through important
milestones: project filing, “early-stage” development, Notice to Proceed (NTP) or “shovel ready”, and Commercial
Operation Date (COD). The illustration below explains Upower’s Project Lifecycle.
Each project Upower originates, contains the following “Shovel-Ready’ hallmarks:
• A site control land development process to identify and procure sites ideally suited for large scale solar farms. We
selected these sites from many of options securing the best available sites primed for large scale solar projects.
• Engineering design, layout, zoning determination letters, and interconnection agreements. Upower has a team of
elite interconnection specialist engineers that can push these projects through the interconnection process in a savvy
and efficient manner.
• PPA negotiations are managed directly by our experienced executive team, to secure top-quality PPAs with
utilities, government, national electric companies, and/or corporate offtaker buyers of electricity. The strength of the
PPA determines the value of the project, as we’ve proven with Latin America’s Largest Solar Project to date
Completed and Currently Operating in Nacaome, Honduras for the next 20 years.
• Negotiated superior pricing on both Equipment and EPC contracts, below utility-scale market prices, based on our
volume and scale of projects.

Upower Foreign Regulatory Experience as Developer
Renewable energy in Honduras falls under a special regime found in the Law for the Promotion of Electric Power
Generation with Renewable Resources, approved under Decree 70-2007 on 2 October 2007 whose main objective is
to promote public or private power generation projects through renewable resources found in Honduras, giving a series
of legal benefits such as:
•facilitating investment and the development of renewable energy resources;
•introduce reforms in the process of granting permits to speed up studies and construction of new power generation
from renewable resources;
•the creation of new sources of direct employment in the rural sector during construction of projects;
•improvement of the quality of life of the inhabitants in rural areas; and
•finding new alternatives to traditional energy sources.
The approvals and permits required to build and operate a power project consist of:
•Operating agreement: must be filed with the CREE.
•Environmental license issued by SERNA.
•Power purchase agreement, when the sale comes from a public/private, national/international bid.
•Building permits: building permits will be requested according to the provisions of the Municipalities Act of the place
the project is being built.
Honduras gave Upower the following benefits:
•exemption from payment of sales taxes involved with the equipment used during development, installation, and
construction of the power plant;
•exemption from payment of all taxes, fees for importing foreign equipment in Honduras; and
•exemption from income tax during the first 10 years of operation of any plant that does not generate more than 50MW
of renewable resources.
•exemption from payment of income tax and legal deductions related to payment of service or professional fees by
foreign individuals or legal entities.
•investors are free to repatriate their investments and earnings as they see fit.
•power purchase agreements are denominated in US currency in order to ensure investments in case of Honduran
currency fluctuation. Payments, however, may be made in Honduran currency, at the exchange rate of the day of the
invoice.

Upower’s Past Corporate Accomplishments
On January 16th, 2014 U.S. based developer Upower/Upower Honduras signed and executed two (2) 50 MW Power
Purchase Agreements (PPA’s) as Pacific Solar Energy, S.A. de CV (PSA) and Produccion de Energia y Demas
Renovables, S.A. CV (PRODERSSA), totaling 100 MW in Solar Photovolatic (PV) Projects to construct and
produce renewable energy to power the Grid of the Empresa Nacional de Energia Electrica (ENEE), the Honduran
National Electric Company. Upower won the largest contracts at 100 MW of the 300 MW as a Developer through a
feed-in-tariff (FIT) program which Honduras launched in 2013. A cap was established of 300 MW for projects to
receive just under $0.15 (fifteen cents) plus a bonus of an additional $0.03 (three cents) per kilowatt-hour, and to
obtain this higher tariff, the projects had to be in operation before the first of August 2015.
On January 23rd, 2014 the Honduran Congress ratified and approved the two (2) PPA’s PSA and PRODERSSA,
published in La Gaceta. Upower Honduras, a subsidiary of Upower, Inc. of the United States, provided two (2)
Sovereign Bank Guarantees from Banco Fichosa for PSE and from Banco LaFise for PRODERSSA totaling
$4.35mm as the developer of the 100 MW projects in Nacaome, Honduras.
• After being granted the contracts for the 2 projects, Upower invested millions on this process for Upower
Honduras, while completing the Feasibility Studies, starting the Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA),
the Topographical Surveys and Geographical Studies, permits and licenses.
• Upower Honduras secured a long-term lease agreement in Nacaome, Honduras, located in the Valle
Department (Western Region of Country) for several hundred acres to develop and construct the 2 projects.
• With the execution of our signed 100 MW PPA’s of $0.17.5 cents per KWh for 20 years, the side-by-side
projects, PSA for 50 MW and PRODERSSA for 50 MW, became the largest operating Solar Plant in
Honduras and throughout the entire Latin American region to date. Upower, Inc. believed it was in the best
interest to Upower shareholders and the government of Honduras that we negotiate our named project
developments in Honduras to our local partners due to time constraints allowed for government financial
bonus incentives mentioned. In October 2014 a decision was made that the two 50 megawatt Solar powered
power plant PPA’s with the Empresa Nacional de Energia Electrica (“ENEE”) were to be completed by
the Upower Honduras, Inc.’s former directors and local partners. The 2 Upower Honduras project names
of PSA and PRODERSSA were then changed and the projects were sold, transferred, and completed by a
group of private investors from Solar Power Sociedad Anónima (SOPOSA) for the Nacaome site and by
Compañía de Energía Solar Sociedad Anónima (COHESSA) for the Valle site. Construction and
Operation was funded and installed to completion in just 10 months on 974 acres of land at a cost of $232MM
USD with the help of institutions providing financing, including our application with the World Bank’s
International Finance Group and FinnFund. They are currently owned and operated by The Larach
Group of Honduras.
• With the inauguration on Wednesday, May 6th, 2015 by the President of Honduras, the largest solar power
project in Latin American history, and the most efficient worldwide, came online and producing power. In
the end, Upower’s vision of roughly 2,500 direct and indirect jobs were created. The facility now has about
150 permanent employees for operation and maintenance. Our 100 MW projects now generate 120 gigawatts
of electricity annually for approximately 152,000 Honduran households. Honduras major dependence on
fossil fuels is no more.
• The date of filing of the corporation’s original Certificate of Incorporation in The State of Delaware was 08-
16-2013 for Upower Honduras, Inc.. Upon completion of the projects being fully installed and operational
generating power, a Certificate of Dissolution was filed and authorized on Upower Honduras, Inc. by
Upower, Inc. on July 30, 2015.

Upower’s focus on the acquisition and development of Salares (Brine Pools) and Lithium Mines for Lithium
(Li) extraction and production for Commodities sales to off-takers or end-buyers/end-users. In Chile, Upower ™.
Lithium market dynamics and a rapidly increasing metal price are the result of profound structural issues with the
industry meeting anticipated future demand production of Electric Vehicles (EV’s) and planned capacity of
345GWh by 2021. Today’s all-time production 3,000,000 EV’s is set to increase to 125,000,000+ cars this decade
by 2030. Upower is positioning itself to be a major beneficiary of this future mismatch of supply and demand. The
Company continues to evaluate a portfolio of 548 Lithium Mining Concessions for acquisition, for resale,
exploration and production-stage projects, complemented with the access to potential Bulk Sales of Lithium via
Purchase Orders from End-Users/Buyers globally in their Universe of possible Clients.

Governmental changes under the current regulatory framework in Chile with the state agency CCHEN, the Chilean
Nuclear Energy Commission, the government body responsible for granting lithium export quotas is expected to
allow for new legislation for major increases in Lithium Production Quotas, shortly about to satisfy past foreign
investment past concerns. With Lithium trading at $14,000 per Metric Ton (MT) and Exports valued at $949
million in 2018, Chile is a significant producer with room to grow in this key emerging industry. Upower plans to
lead the way in Chile among lithium exploration and development companies and we will now move forward
quickly to solidify this position with Strategic Technology Partnerships to complement acquisition of Lithium
Mining Concessions.
Planned Demo (Pilot) and Commercial Scale Lithium Production Facilities and Advantages
Currently, there are two important Lithium producing areas in the world today with similar volume: Australia and
Chile. In the Hard-Rock Lithium world, it is called Greenbushes, located in western Australia. Once the world
leader, is now subject to tough competition in both production cost, time, and technological disadvantages. While
Australia blasts through Hard-Rock formations in the ground to extract Lithium with an average 5 year horizon
timeline for production with $8,500 per MT Cost, the Lithium Brine Pool world in the Atacama Desert in northern
Chile is using Evaporation Ponds at a $5,000 per MT Cost, or a 40% savings in only a 18-24 month production, or
half the timeframe. For any lithium company, being in the Salares of Chile, where the world’s highest
concentrations of Lithium (Li3) is found, it is the best location with the lowest cost of production in the world.
Finding surface sample concentrations in the mid 400’s of mg/L up to 1600 mg/L is common in these Salares.
These Salares gain significant value once drill testing begins and results become available. Drilling data via an NI
43-101 Geological Survey and brine sampling results will help determine the potential volume of fluid and lithium
content and reserves within the target aquifer. The primary objective of the exploration drill program is to collect
groundwater/Brine samples at 50m intervals to a 400m depth, to be analyzed for lithium content. Once these
reserves are published, Chile has repeatedly shown statistically significant results with 200% to 1000% greater
concentrations of Lithium content than that of the U.S. and the rest of the world.
However, from the technology standpoint, if a producer with a new, efficient, and faster technology were to come
along, there would be a unique opportunity to set a global precedent for next generation of Lithium projects with the
latest extraction processes. We are examining such technologies, which promise to be highly efficient in term of
recoveries and costs, as well as environmentally friendly. The 2 companies we’ve chosen as Strategic Technology
Partners have a Patented Method using a Proprietary Ion-Exchange. This proven advantage has no chemicals and
little to no water depletion from the Brine Pools, lessening the Environmental Impacts. There’s a lower Cut-Off
Grade threshold of Lithium (Li3) of 50 ppm vs 500 ppm in Evaporation Ponds, a 90% Li3 Recovery Rate vs 50%,
half the CAPEX and OPEX, and drops the Li3 Production Process from 18-24 months to only a mere 2-4 hours to
begin processing Lithium from the Salar with this filtration process. The Cost per MT drops to $2,500. The lowest
cost globally. Upower’s technology of choice is more than 3 times less costly than the Aussie’s and less than 1/3 of
the time for the same production, allowing for greater Profit Margins exceeding 70-79%.

Description of Securities
Common Stock{tc \l 2 "COMMON STOCK"}
The Company has 55,157,862 shares of its restricted common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this
Memorandum. The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per
share. The holders of common stock have one vote per share on all matters (including election of directors) without
provision for cumulative voting. Thus, holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can
elect all of the directors, if they choose to do so. The common stock is not redeemable and has no conversion or
preemptive rights. There are no sinking fund provisions. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of
common stock will share equally in any balance of the Company's assets available for distribution to them after
satisfaction of creditors and preferred shareholders, if any. The Company may pay dividends, in cash and/or in
securities or other property when and as declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available, subject to
the preferential rights of preferred shareholders, if any.

preferred stock, $0.00001 par value per share (inclusive of the Shares), with the Board of Directors having the right
to determine the designations, rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting,
dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of
the holders of the common stock. The preferred stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per
share, could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company. The

common stock not registered under the Act when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of assets which are
legally available for the payment of such dividends, at an annual rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum per Share
provided that such dividends shall not be currently payable and shall only be payable when and as specifically provided

Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences (which comprises a portion of the Company’s certificate of
incorporation, as amended) pertaining to the Shares is available to prospective investors upon request. The Company

one (1) share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted. The conversion of all the corporation’s Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock was executed by noon, Dec 31st 2017.

Current Shareholders{tc \l 2 "CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS"}
As of September 30th, 2017, current management and all other shareholders own 55,157,862 shares of the Company’s
restricted common stock which are issued and outstanding (See “Principal Shareholders”). Upon completion of this
Offering, if all Shares are issued, the executive officers and directors of the Company will beneficially own
approximately 80% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and 70% respectively, if
calculated on a fully diluted basis, assuming the sale of all of the Shares offered hereby and their conversion into
shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. The Company’s stockholders do not have the right to cumulative
voting in the election of directors. Accordingly, current common stock holders will be in a position to effectively
control the Company, including the election of all of the directors of the Company. (See “Management”.)
Use of Proceeds
The Company estimates that the maximum net proceeds from the Offering will be $21,250,000 in the event the
Maximum Proceeds are received, of which no assurances are given, and assuming one or more FINRA registered
broker-dealers are utilized and paid commissions and assuming the full non-accountable expense allowance is paid.
To the extent that commissions and the full non-accountable expense allowance are not paid, such funds will be
utilized for working capital and general corporate purposes. It is anticipated that the Maximum Proceeds will be
applied substantially as set forth below. To the extent that less than the Maximum Proceeds are received, the Company
generally plans to utilize such proceeds on a pro-rata basis for the purposes set forth below. Future events including,
but not limited to, the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by businesses,
as well as changes in the economic climate or changes in government regulations, may make the reallocation of funds
necessary or desirable. Any such reallocation will be at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. It is
not expected that the funds from this Offering, even if the Maximum Proceeds are received, will be sufficient for the
Company to acquire, construct and/or otherwise operate an electric power generation facility.

Regulation
Electric Power Generation Generally
The market for electric power generation products and systems is heavily influenced by government regulations and
policies concerning the electric utility industry, as well as policies adopted by electric utilities. These regulations and
policies often relate to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation
facilities. In a number of countries, these regulations and policies are being modified and may continue to be modified.
Customer purchases of, or further investment in the research and development of alternative energy sources, and other
power generation technologies, could be deterred by these regulations and policies, which could result in a significant
reduction in the demand for our products and services. We anticipate that our power generation systems and their
installation and our electric power generation services will be subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with
different jurisdictions’ national, state, provincial and local regulations relating to building codes, safety, environmental
protection, utility interconnection and metering and related matters. It is difficult to track the requirements of
individual jurisdictions and design electric power generation products and services to comply with the varying
standards. Any new government regulations or utility policies pertaining to our electric power generation products
and services may result in significant additional expenses to us and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in
demand for our electric power generation products and services. In the course of our normal operations, we will also
be subject to such jurisdictions’ various laws, rules and regulations relating generally to business operations in such
jurisdictions.
Environmental Regulation
Our non-domestic (non-U.S.) operations are and will be subject to various national, state, provincial, and local
environmental laws, rules and regulations in the various countries in which our power generation systems may operate,
and also subject to the jurisdiction of the numerous governmental agencies in such countries with respect to
environmental and regulatory matters. As to their environmental, as well as utility and construction laws, rules and
regulations, such laws, rules and regulations will require expenditures on either our part and /or the part of third parties
in connection with the manufacture of components relating to our power generation systems, the assembly,
construction and operation of our power generation systems, the interconnection of our power generation systems to
existing or new utility facilities, the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new utility
facilities to interconnect with our power generation systems, and for remediation at various operating sites. We will
also be subject to such jurisdictions’ various laws, rules and regulations relating generally to business operations in
such jurisdictions.
Many of the countries in which we may do business will have only recently developed, or be in the process of
developing new regulatory and legal structures to accommodate private and foreign-owned businesses in the
alternative energy sector. These regulatory and legal structures and their interpretation and application by
administrative agencies are relatively new and sometimes limited. Many detailed rules and procedures are yet to be
issued. The interpretation of existing rules can also be expected to evolve over time. It is also possible that the
operation of our power generation systems in foreign jurisdictions may be eventually required to meet environmental
as well as utility, construction and other standards that are comparable in many respects to those in effect in the United
States and in countries within the European Community, which could involve substantial additional costs for continued
compliance and operation. We are unable to predict at this time or prospectively the ultimate cost of compliance.
As to the United States, there are extensive federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations relating to the operation
of electric power generation facilities, alternative energy production, and the protection of the environment, and which
Page 45
require expenditures for remediation at various operating facilities as well as expenditures in connection with the
construction and operation of new facilities. Environmental law, rules and regulations have changed substantially and
rapidly over approximately the last 30 years, and we anticipate that there will be continuing changes. The continuing
trend in environmental regulation is to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may impact the
environment, such as emissions of pollutants, generation and disposal of wastes, the use and handling of chemical
substances, and electrical generation systems’ interaction and effect on local wildlife. Increasingly strict
environmental restrictions and limitations have resulted in increased design, engineering and operating costs for many
businesses throughout the United States, and for energy producing companies in particular, and it is possible that the
costs of compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations will continue to increase. To the extent we pursue
electric power generation business activities in the U.S., we will attempt to anticipate future regulatory requirements
that might be imposed and to plan accordingly in order to remain in compliance with changing environmental laws,
rules and regulations and to minimize the costs of such compliance.
Trade Practices and Related Matters
As we plan to operate a multinational business, it will be important for us to become familiar with the trade practices
and customs of the various jurisdictions in which we may seek to and conduct business, while also being mindful of
our obligations as a U.S. based company of applicable U.S. laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to
the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”).
In connection with our planned and ongoing operations in foreign jurisdictions, we will be required to be mindful and
aware, among other matters, of: trade protection measures and currency exchange controls; restrictions on the transfer
of funds into or out of a country; export duties and quotas; tariff requirements; current, changing and proposed local
tax laws; the availability and enforcement of intellectual property right protection; national and regional economic
conditions; political instability and the potential for political instability; and the costs and difficulties in integrating,
staffing and managing operations internationally and particularly in developing countries.
The FCPA
The FCPA is a U.S. federal law that, generally, prohibits U.S. companies and any person to make payments to foreign
government officials to assist in obtaining or retaining business in the subject foreign jurisdiction. Sanctions for
violating such law may involve both substantial civil and criminal penalties. The SEC and the U.S. Justice Department
have been more active in recent years in bringing enforcement actions involving substantial penalties and fines against
U.S. multinational companies and in some instances, company officials, where such companies directly, or indirectly
through their consultants and agents arranged for and made payoffs in violation of such law’s provisions. We plan to
establish and implement an appropriate compliance and monitoring program to ensure that we comply with such law’s
provisions.
Regulatory and Legal Matters
Currently, no legal proceedings are pending with Officer/Director David Macias in which the Company is a party,
or to which the property of the Company is subject, and no such proceeding is known by management of the
Company to be contemplated or threatened.
In December 2013, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority “(FINRA”) accepted a letter of acceptance, waiver
and consent ("AWC") from Mr. Macias pursuant to which he agreed, without admitting or denying any findings, to a
nominal $15,000 fine only to be paid if Mr. Macias were to reactivate his Securities License again and responsibly
completed a 3 month suspension from any association with any FINRA member firm in any capacity at the time. This
AWC findings were submitted and accepted by Mr. Macias at a time when he was no longer associated with any
FINRA member firm, but still was subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction pursuant to its two-year retained jurisdiction over
formerly registered persons. Mr. Macias in accordance and simultaneous with such AWC, was allowed to enter the
following mitigation statement on the record.:
“Mr. Macias wants to emphasis several mitigating factors in connection with the conduct described in the AWC. First,
Mr. Macias cooperated fully with his firm, R.M. Stark & Co., and the FINRA staff in connection the inquiry, providing
forthright testimony before FINRA. Second, Mr. Macias wants to emphasize that at no point did he seek to harm the
Page 46
client nor was he motivated by pecuniary (Monetary) gain ever, as there was none. Third, at all times, Mr. Macias
acted consistent with his client’s direct instructions and directives even, unfortunately, when such instructions were
inconsistent with his firm’s policies.” In August 1997, NASD (now FINRA) accepted an AWC from Mr. Macias
pursuant to which he was suspended for one (1) week in all capacities and fined $15,000. Without admitting or denying
the allegations, Mr. Macias cooperated with the NASD as broker of record, whereby unknown to Mr. Macias the
firm’s Trade Desk in 1993 charged certain of his retail customers prices and commissions.
