NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2018
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Applied Energetics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary North Star Power Engineering, Inc. as of September 30, 2018 (collectively, “company,” “Applied Energetics,” “we,” “our” or “us”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been made. The results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, may not be indicative of the results for the entire year. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,800,000, had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $1,115,000, investing activities reflected the acquisition of equipment for $39,000, financing activities reflected $1,690,000 proceeds from issuance of common stock, $150,000 proceeds from a note payable, partially offset by $361,000 repayment on note payable and expects to incur additional future losses due to the reactivation of its business activities. These matters raise substantial doubt as to the company’s ability to continue as a going concern unless the company is able to obtain additional financing for its continuing operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amount or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2018, the company had approximately $327,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its assumptions on historical experiences and on various other estimates that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, management considers the basis and methodology used in developing and selecting these estimates, the trends in and amounts of these estimates, specific matters affecting the amount of and changes in these estimates, and any other relevant matters related to these estimates, including significant issues concerning accounting principles and financial statement presentation. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future, as more information becomes known which could materially impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Significant estimates include measurements of income tax assets and liabilities.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The company has reviewed issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. The company does not expect the adoption of any other pronouncements to have an impact on its results of operations or financial position.

2. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share-Based Compensation – Contractors
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, share-based compensation expense totaled approximately $46,000 and $65,000, respectively.
There was no related income tax benefit recognized because our deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance.
We determine the fair value of option grant share-based awards at their grant date, using a Black-Scholes-Merton Option-Pricing Model applying the assumptions in the following table:
Nine months ended September 30, | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Expected life (years) | N/A | 5 | ||||||
Dividend yield | N/A | 0 | % | |||||
Expected volatility | N/A | 80 | % | |||||
Risk free interest rates | N/A | 1.97 | % | |||||
Weighted average fair value of options at grant date | N/A | $ | 0.02980 |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, no options to purchase stock were granted, additionally, no options to purchase stock were exercised, expired or forfeited; no restricted stock units were granted, vested or forfeited; and no restricted stock awards were granted, vested or forfeited. At September 30, 2018, options to purchase 14,000,000 shares of common stock were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.136 with a weighted average remaining contract term of approximately 3.5 years with an aggregate intrinsic value of $103,000. At September 30, 2018 options for 3,500,000 shares were exercisable.
As of September 30, 2018, there was approximately $51,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted and outstanding, net of estimated forfeitures. The cost is expected to be recognized on a weighted average basis over a period of approximately three years.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the company granted each member of the Scientific Advisory Board options to purchase 2 million shares of $.001 par value common stock at a price of $0.05 per share for a total of 8,000,000 shares being granted. These options have a five year term and vest to the extent of 500,000 shares on the first anniversary of the grant and to the extent of 62,500 options per month during the 24 months following the initial vesting date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the company also granted each member of the Scientific Advisory Board performance options to purchase 1.5 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock at a price of $0.25 per share for a total of 6,000,000 shares being granted. These options have a five year term and vest on the date the company has cumulative revenues of $5 million.
On July 16, 2018, the company entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Westpark Advisors, LLC. The Agreement calls for Westpark Advisors to perform certain development and operational services, subject to a minimum hours requirement of 1,920, as follows:
In exchange for services detailed in the Agreement, Westpark Advisors is to receive compensation as follows: $16,700 per month in cash; upon signing of the Agreement, options to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.13 per share, which vest every 90 days in four equal tranches and expire as to each tranche three years after the vesting date; and additional options to purchase one million shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.13 per share, upon the successful award of a contract in excess of $500,000 which Westpark Advisors sourced, captured and pursued. The Agreement also calls for the Company to reimburse Westpark Advisors for all reasonable expenses that have been pre-approved in writing. The option agreements have not yet been issued.

3. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period before giving effect to stock options, stock warrants, restricted stock units and convertible securities outstanding, which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to convertible preferred stock, stock options, warrants and restricted stock units. Contingently issuable shares are included in the computation of basic loss per share when issuance of the shares is no longer contingent. Due to the losses from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, basic and diluted loss per common share were the same, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.
Potentially dilutive securities not included in the diluted loss per share calculation, due to net losses from continuing operations, were as follows:
Nine months ended September 30, | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Options to purchase common shares | 14,000,000 | 14,000,000 | ||||||
Warrants to purchase common shares | — | 1,320,598 | ||||||
Convertible preferred stock | 43,215 | 40,381 | ||||||
Total potentially dilutive securities | 14,043,215 | 15,360,979 |
4. DIVIDENDS
Dividends on Preferred Stock are accrued when the amount and kind of dividend is determined and are payable quarterly on the first day of February, May, August and November, in cash or shares of common stock. The holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at the initial rate of 6.5% of the liquidation preference per share (the “Initial Dividend Rate”), payable, at the option of the corporation, in cash or shares of common stock or a combination of cash and common stock. Upon the occurrence of the company’s failure to pay dividends in the five business days following a dividend payment date (a “Payment Default”), the dividend rate shall immediately and automatically increase to 7.5% of the liquidation preference per share for as long as such Payment Default continues (or return to the Initial Dividend Rate at such time as such Payment Default no longer continues), and if a Payment Default shall occur on two consecutive Dividend Payment Dates, the dividend rate shall immediately and automatically increase to 10% of the Liquidation Preference for as long as such Payment Default continues and shall immediately and automatically return to the Initial Dividend Rate at such time as the Payment Default is no longer continuing.
As of September 30, 2018, we had 13,602 shares of our 6.5% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. The company has not paid the dividends commencing with the quarterly dividend due August 1, 2013. Dividend arrearages as of September 30, 2018 was approximately $179,000. Our Board of Directors suspended the declaration of the dividend, commencing with the dividend payable as of February 1, 2015 since we did not have a surplus (as such term is defined in the Delaware general corporation Law) as of December 31, 2014, until such time as we have a surplus or net profits for a fiscal year.
Our Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $25.00 per Share. The Series A Preferred Stock bears dividends at the rate of 6.5% of the liquidation preference per share per annum, which accrues from the date of issuance, and is payable quarterly. Dividends may be paid in: (i) cash, (ii) shares of our common stock (valued for such purpose at 95% of the weighted average of the last sales prices of our common stock for each of the trading days in the ten trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the applicable dividend payment date), provided that the issuance and/or resale of all such shares of our common stock are then covered by an effective registration statement or (iii) any combination of the foregoing. If the company fails to make a dividend payment within five business days following a dividend payment date, the dividend rate shall immediately and automatically increase by 1% from 6.5% of the liquidation preference per offered share of Series A preferred stock to 7.5% of such liquidation preference. If a payment default shall occur on two consecutive dividend payment dates, the dividend rate shall immediately and automatically increase to 10% of the liquidation preference for as long as such payment default continues and shall immediately and automatically return to the initial dividend rate at such time as the payment default is no longer continuing.

On September 15, 2017 the company borrowed $53,000 under a convertible note maturing June 20, 2018. The note bears interest of 12% payable at maturity. Any amount of principal or interest on the note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid. The note is convertible into shares of the company’s $0.001 par value common stock after March 24, 2018 (the “Initial Conversion Date”). The conversion rate is variable and will be 58% of the average of the lowest one-day trading price during the twenty trading days preceding the holders notice of conversion. The number of shares issuable on conversion is limited to 4.99% of the company’s then issued and outstanding common stock. The company at the request of the note holder has reserved 36,369,879 shares of its $0.001 common stock for conversion. The note can be prepaid at the company’s option until the Initial Conversion Date.

The above transaction of a note for $53,000 and attached warrants of 1,320,598 shares were put in place by previous management. On March 12, 2018, the company’s newly elected board of directors discussed its options concerning the above referenced loan and attached warrant and agreed that it would be in the best interest of the company and its shareholders to pay in full the $53,000 convertible note funded on October 18, 2017, and additionally repurchase the warrant. On March 16, 2018, the company paid in full the $53,000 convertible note and cancelled its associated warrant to purchase 1,320,598 shares of common stock in a negotiated transaction.

The total cost to the company to pay off this $53,000 note before the conversion date was $81,000. Additionally, the company cancelled the above referenced attached warrant which allowed the loan holder to purchase 1,320,598 shares of common stock at a material discount to the market.

The total combined cost to the company to cancel the loan and warrant was $121,000. The payment was comprised of $56,000 principal and accrued interest, prepayment premium of $25,000 and $40,000 to buy back the warrant. The note was paid in full on March 16, 2018. The company borrowed the $121,000 used to pay off this loan before the conversion date, via an interest free loan from two directors of the company.
On October 18, 2017 the company borrowed $33,000 under a convertible note maturing July 20, 2018. The note bears interest of 12% payable at maturity.

The cost to the company to pay off this $38,000 note before the conversion date was $58,000. The payment was comprised of $40,000 principal and accrued interest, and prepayment premium of $18,000.

The note is convertible into shares of the company’s $0.001 par value common stock after April 16, 2018 (the “Initial Conversion Date”). The conversion rate is variable and will be 58% of the average of the lowest one-day trading price during the twenty trading days preceding the holders notice of conversion. The number of shares issuable on conversion is limited to 4.99% of the company’s then issued and outstanding common stock. The company at the request of the note holder has reserved 17,164,750 shares of its $0.001 common stock for conversion. The note can be prepaid at the company’s option until the Initial Conversion Date. The company calculated a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $20,000 on this note against which $7,000 has been amortized.

6. DUE TO RELATED PARTIES
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the company, under its new management, has borrowed $2,500, giving a total borrowed of $132,000 from two members of its board of directors. These loans are interest free and are payable on demand. On May 1, 2018, both directors submitted subscription agreements for $60,000 for 1,000,000 shares of company common stock, each to be settled with the company’s debt. On July 23, 2018, the remaining balance of $12,000 was paid back to one director.
It has come to the board’s attention that on July 31, 2018, our now deceased CEO deposited $50,000 into the company’s account. Although it has been suggested that the funds may have been intended for use toward Mr. Dearmin’s healthcare, the board does not know for certain what the purpose of the funds were or the nature of any intended investment. Accordingly, the board is investigating the appropriate disposition of the funds which will likely be to the estate of Mr. Dearmin. Until such a determination is made, the board does not intend to use these funds for any corporate purpose. For reporting purposes, the company has treated the deposit as a due to related party.

Tom Dearmin Passing
On August 6, 2018, the company announced that its President and Acting Chief Executive Officer, Thomas C. Dearmin, died due to unexpectedly severe complications from a recent illness on August 3, 2018 in Orange County, CA. Tom was a dear friend to all of us here at the company, and his value was exponential as he helped the company through this transition period of building a new management team and putting the company on a new path. Tom was, and always will be, the symbol of Applied Energetics core values and dedication to its employees and partners. He will be missed dearly, and we intend to continue on the path to which he led us. On behalf of everyone here at the company, we extend our deepest sympathies to Tom’s family.

In its Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 9, 2018, Applied Energetics, Inc. (the “Company”) indicated that it had filed a lawsuit against George Farley and AnnMarieCo LLC (“AMC”) in the Court of Chancery in the state of Delaware. This report provides an update on the progress of the litigation.
In connection with the lawsuit, the Company requested a temporary restraining order prohibiting Mr. Farley and AMC from selling their 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock which the Company alleges were improperly issued. On July 20, 2018, the Delaware Court of Chancery, Vice Chancellor Tamika Montgomery-Reeves presiding, entered a “status quo” order upon the stipulation of the parties, whereby Mr. Farley and AMC agreed not to transfer, alienate or sell any of their shares pending a ruling on the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction.
On July 26, 2018, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered a scheduling order setting dates and deadlines for, among other matters, a hearing and briefing schedule on the amount of the bond the Company would be required to post to maintain the “status quo” order through the preliminary injunction hearing, a hearing and briefing schedule on the motion for a preliminary injunction, and a discovery schedule.
Also, in connection with the lawsuit, on August 8, 2018, the Company filed a motion to disqualify Mr. Farley’s attorney, Ryan Whalen, who had previously represented the Company.
On August 14, 2018, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued an order requiring the Company to post a bond in the total amount of $200,446.52. On August 21, 2018, the Company posted the bond via Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company acting as surety.
