Sauer Energy, Inc.

Notes to the Financial Statements

November 30, 2017

(unaudited)


Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:


These unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended November 30, 2017, reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Companys financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented, in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys fiscal year end August 31, 2017, report. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three  months ended November 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending August 31, 2018.


Organization

Sauer Energy, Inc. was incorporated in California on August 7, 2008. The Company was incorporated to develop and market wind power electric generators.

Current Business of the Company

On July 25, 2010, the Company executed a plan of reorganization with BCO Hydrocarbon Ltd., a Nevada exploration stage enterprise, in which Sauer Energy Inc. became a subsidiary of BCO.  BCO changed its name to Sauer Energy, Inc.

The Company leases warehouse/office facilities in Oxnard, California, in which the Company develops wind power technology.  A production prototype of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) has been developed.  Its compact size is aimed at the small business and home market. The company is focused on plans to manufacture and distribute the product.  In May 2012, the acquisition of the entire assets of a wind turbine company added two more wind turbine models to the Company, together with patents and a distribution network. During 2016 and 2017, the Company continued to develop its technology.


NOTE 2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements have been prepared using the basis of accounting generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recorded as earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. The Company has adopted August 31 as the fiscal year-end.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.



Page 7 of 20


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued   ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:


·

Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·

Level 2:  Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

·

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments as of November 30, 2017, reflect:

·

Level 1   Cash Measurement based on bank reporting.

§

Level 2   Loans from Officers and related parties

·

Level 2   Based on promissory notes.

·

Level 3   Derivatives


Federal income taxes

The Company utilizes FASB ACS 740, Income Taxeswhich requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry-forward.  A valuation allowance of 100% has been established.


Interest and penalties on tax deficiencies recognized in accordance with ASC accounting standards are classified as income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10-50-19.

Research and development costs



Page 8 of 20


The Company expenses costs of research and development cost as incurred. The costs for the three months ended November 30, 2017, and three months ended November 30, 2016, were $71,933 and $44,855 respectively.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation  Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Companys stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Companys expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.


All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.


Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The Company has a convertible note payable which is potentially dilutive, however it has been omitted from the calculations as it is antidilutive.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements.  

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies.  Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, the Companys management has not determined whether implementation of such standards would be material to its financial statements.

The Company is reviewing the effects of following recent updates.  The Company has no expectation that any of these items will have a material effect upon the financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses, total assets, or stockholders equity as previously reported.

Note 3  Going Concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $(11,843,402) as of November 30, 2017, and had minimal revenues, which raises substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.

In view of these matters, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Companys ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management plans to raise additional capital through the sale of stock to pursue business development activities.


Note 4  Property and Equipment

Note 5 Intangible Property

The Company has acquired intangible property in patents, patents pending and goodwill.  The patents are being amortized over their expected lives of not more than seventeen years. Those patent costs allocated to pending patents do not begin amortizing until the underlying patent is issued.  If for some reason a patent is not issued the costs associated with the acquisition and the continuation of the application are fully amortized in the year of the denial.

For the three months ended November 30, 2017 our rent expense was $45,013 compared to $46,523 for the three months ended November 30, 2016.

Note 9 - Federal income tax

No provision was made for federal income tax, since the Company has had significant net operating losses. Net operating loss carryforwards may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2035. The availability of the Companys net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more positive change in the ownership of the Companys stock, unless the same or similar business is carried on. The net operating loss carryforward for federal and state income tax purposes was approximately $11,843,422, which will expire in 2029 through 2035 if not utilized.  The Company uses 21% for a composite tax rate to estimate the value of net operating losses for deferred taxes.

The Company as of the three months ended November 30, 2017, and November 30, 2016, recognized net operating losses of approximately $360,127 and $379,864, respectively.  The total estimated deferred tax asset as of November 30, 2017, was $2,487,114.   The Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that some part or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  

Although Management believes that its estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our tax provisions. Ultimately, the actual tax benefits to be realized will be based upon future taxable earnings levels, which are very difficult to predict.

For the three months ended November 30, 2017, and November 30, 2016, no income tax expense has been realized as a result of operations and no income tax penalties and/or interest have been accrued related to uncertain tax positions.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction



Page 12 of 20


and in the State of California.  These filings are subject to a three-year statute of limitations.  The Companys evaluation of income tax positions included in the years ended August 31, 2013 through 2016, could be subject to agency examinations.  No filings are currently under examination.  No adjustments have been made to reduce the estimated income tax benefit at fiscal year-end or at the quarterly reporting dates.  Any valuations relating to these income tax provisions will comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Overview


We caution you that reliance on any forward-looking statement involves risks and uncertainties, and that although we believe the assumptions on which our forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could be incorrect.  In light of these and other uncertainties, you should not conclude that we will necessarily achieve any plans and objectives or projected financial results referred to in any of the forward-looking statements.  We do not undertake to release the results of any revisions of these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.  Some of the factors that may cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.


RESULTS OF OPERATION


Three months ended November 30, 2017 v.  three months ended November 30, 2016


During the 3 months ended November 30, 2017 we realized revenue in the amount of $29,649 due to the sale of an R&D unit.  


Our operating expenses were $228,547 for the three months ending November 30, 2017, compared to $252,474 for the three months ended November 30, 2016.


Our interest and financing expenses increased to $146,123 for the three months ending November 30, 2017, from $127,390 for the three months ended November 30, 2016.


The overall decreases in operating expenses resulted in our net loss of $360,127 for the three months ended November 30, 2017 as compared to the net loss of $379,864 for the three months ended November 30, 2016.


We anticipate  increased costs associated with increased levels of operation anticipatory to our entering into the manufacturing stage and our marketing processes which will begin in the current fiscal year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES




Page 14 of 20


Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended November 30, 2017, and November 30, 2016, was $174,816 and $238,051 respectively.


Net cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, was $0 and $0 respectively.


Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, was $185,000 and $243,217 respectively.


We had cash resources of $12,136 at November 30, 2017, and we intend to rely on the sale of stock in private placements to increase liquidity to enable us to execute on our plan to manufacture and market vertical axis wind turbines.  As reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 1, 2016, we have entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement.


As of May, 2017, the Registrant entered into two agreements with East Six Opportunity Fund, LLC, a New York limited liability corporation (East Six), an Equity Purchase Agreement (the EPA) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the RRA).  The two agreements we filed as exhibits to the Registrants Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 12, 2017, and the Registrants Registration Statement on Form S-1 Number 333-218054 and the following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.


The agreements required the Registrant to file a registration statement for the common stock underlying the EPA. Subject to various limitations set forth in the EPA, East Six, after effectiveness of such registration statement, was required to purchase up to $3,000,000 worth of the Registrants common stock at a price equal to 72% of the market price as determined under the EPA (prior ten trading days).  The EPA provides for volume limitations on the number of shares that East Six must purchase at any time and provides that the Registrant will be paid for the common stock upon electronic delivery of the shares to East Six.  East Six bore the attorney fees relating to the Registration Statement and is not charging the Registrant any additional fees.


Funds on hand are not sufficient to fund our operations and we intend to rely on the sale of stock in private placements to increase liquidity.  If we are unable to raise cash through the sale of our stock, we may be required to severely restrict our operations.


Critical Accounting Policies


Financial Reporting Release No. 60 of the SEC encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of the financial statements. There are no current revenue-generating activities that give rise to significant assumptions or estimates.  Note 2 of our financial statements filed as part of our November 30, 2017, Quarterly Report on this Form 10-Q includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 4T. - Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) require public companies to maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer who is also our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2017.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that as of November 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.


In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  Management has identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of November 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:


1.           We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the year ending August 31, 2017, and the quarter ended November 30, 2017. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.


2.           We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control.  Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

3.

The Board of Directors has not provided an appropriate level of oversight of the Companys financial reporting and procedures for internal control over financial reporting since there are, at present, no independent directors who could provide an appropriate level of oversight, including challenging managements accounting for and reporting of transactions.  Accordingly, we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.


To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuers principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the issuers board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external

purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:


·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;


·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and


·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuers assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.


As of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control2013 Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, as of November 30, 2017, such internal control over financial reporting was not effective.  This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.



Page 17 of 20


 

The matters involving internal control over financial reporting that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives of having segregation of the initiation of transactions, the recording of transactions and the custody of assets.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of November 30, 2017.


Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) and (2) above did not have an effect on our financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.


This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management's report in this quarterly report.


Management's Remediation Initiatives


In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

We will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. First, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives of having separate individuals perform (i) the initiation of transactions, (ii) the recording of transactions and (iii) the custody of assets. Second, we will create a senior position to focus on financial reporting and standardizing and documenting our accounting procedures with the goal of increasing the effectiveness of the internal controls in preventing and detecting misstatements of accounting information. Third, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us. Although there is substantial uncertainty in any such estimate, we anticipate the costs of implementing these remediation initiatives will be approximately $100,000 to $150,000 a year in increased salaries, legal and accounting expenses.


Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.


We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by August 31, 2018.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended November 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
