NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) (formerly known as Superior Silver Mines, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Idaho on January 22, 1962 as Superior Mines Company and then changed its name to Superior Silver Mines, Inc. The Company reincorporated as a Nevada corporation on December 27, 2010. The Company has been dormant for a number of years, and has no known mineral reserves.

On December 29, 2010, Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or "Solar Wind", completed a reverse merger (the “Merger”) with Solar Wind Energy, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 26, 2010 (“Solar Wind - Subsidiary”). In connection with the Merger, the Company issued to the stockholders of Solar Wind - Subsidiary in exchange for their Solar Wind - Subsidiary Common Stock, the right to receive an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result of the reverse merger, Solar Wind - Subsidiary is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

For accounting purposes, Solar Wind - Subsidiary was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Solar Wind - Subsidiary pursuant to which Solar Wind - Subsidiary was treated as the surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer rather than a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Solar Wind - Subsidiary immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger. Also, going forward the business operations of Solar Wind - Subsidiary will become the Company’s principal business operations.

On January 21, 2011, the Company changed its name to Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. and on March 11, 2013, changed its name to Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, which changed its name from Clean Wind Energy, Inc. to Solar Wind Energy, Inc. In addition, effective January 24, 2011, the Company’s quotation symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed from SSVM.OB to CWET.OB and on March 11, 2013, in conjunction with our name change, the Company’s quotation symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed from CWET.OB to SWET.OB.

Until the consummation of the Merger, the Company’s purpose was to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warranted, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who, or which, desire to seek the perceived advantages of a publicly registered corporation. Because the Company had no operations and only nominal assets until the Merger, it was considered a shell company under rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In April 2014, the Company organized Arizona Green Power, LLC (“AGP”), an Arizona limited liability company for the purpose to acquire development property from the City of San Luis, Arizona. In connection with financing of the project, the Company reduced its ownership interest to 98.67% in connection with the issuance of a note payable by Arizona Green Power, LLC on April 7, 2014. On November 17, 2015, in connection with the Company land option agreement modification and equity financing, the Company reduced its ownership to 94.67%.

Interim Financial Statements

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2016
(unaudited)


Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2017.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported net losses from operations of $274,992 and $588,839 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, accumulated deficit of $17,501,650 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $3,996,651 as of June 30, 2016.

The Company does not have any revenues from operations and will be dependent on funds raise to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of our notes and advances payable is based on management estimates and reasonably approximates their book value based on their current maturity.

Research and development

In accordance with ASC 730, “Research and Development”, the Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. The Company had incurred $-0- for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and $26,062 and $80,913 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, in research and development costs. The Company expects the research and development costs to increase in the future as it continues to invest in the infrastructure that is critical to achieve our business goals and objectives.

Net Income (loss) per Common Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. There is no effect on diluted loss per share since the common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes, preferred stock and exercise of warrants. Fully diluted shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were 21,280,736,337 and 20,600,817,244, respectively, and 1,882,870,363 and 1,782,802,986 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company account for its stock based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors, including restricted stock awards. We estimate the fair value of stock using the stock price on date of the approval of the award. The fair value is then expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the performance period and the related amount recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based compensation expense in connection with stock grants issued to consultants in exchange for services rendered for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $-0- and $7,144, respectively.

Derivative financial instruments

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The Company’s convertible debt has reset provisions to the exercise price if the Company issues equity or a right to receive equity, at a price less than the exercise prices. In addition, the Company has the possibility of exceeding their common shares authorized when considering the number of possible shares that may be issuable to satisfy settlement provisions of convertible notes after consideration of all existing instruments that could be settled in shares.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There are various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Summary:

The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to the above described Notes. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features and reset provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Notes and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

At the inception of the 2016 Notes, the Company determined the aggregate fair value of $553,093 of embedded derivatives. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 180.14% to 180.45%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.63 % to 0.66%, (4) expected life of 1.00 year, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.0002 per share.

The determined fair value of the debt derivatives of $553,093 was charged as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the notes with the remainder of $443,329 charged to current period operations as non-cash interest expense.

At June 30, 2016, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $1,245,037. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $61,165 and $2,768,987 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 179.04%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.26% to 0.36%, (4) expected life of 0.25 to 0.53 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.0001 per share.

The charge of the amortization of debt discounts and costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $142,483 and $345,064, respectively, and $324,943 and $688,645 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively; which was accounted for as interest expense. Also, the Company has accrued interest expense of $183,063 as of June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,496,316,722 shares of its common stock in settlement of the convertible note payable and related interest. In connection with certain settlements, the Company incurred a $21,938 loss on settlement of debt.

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY

During 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of $280,000 convertible promissory notes to officers and key employees in settlement of accrued salaries.

The convertible promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal were to be repaid initially on December 31, 2014. The convertible promissory notes are convertible into common stock, at the holders’ option at $0.015 per common share. In December 2014, the notes were extended to December 31, 2015 with the interest rate increasing to 12% per annum.

Due to the nature of the notes described in Note 7 above, the Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to the above described Notes. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features and the uncertainty of sufficient authorized shares to meet possible conversion demands. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the notes and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

● Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
● Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or
● Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes thereto for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed on March 2, 2017.

Corporate History

On December 29, 2010, the Company completed a reverse merger (the “Merger”) with Solar Wind Energy, Inc. , a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 26, 2010 (“Solar Wind - Subsidiary”). In connection with the Merger, the Company issued to the stockholders of Solar Wind - Subsidiary in exchange for their Solar Wind - Subsidiary Common Stock, the right to receive an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result of the reverse merger, Solar Wind - Subsidiary is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

For accounting purposes, Solar Wind - Subsidiary was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Solar Wind - Subsidiary pursuant to which Solar Wind - Subsidiary was treated as the surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer rather than a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Solar Wind - Subsidiary immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger. Also, going forward the business operations of Solar Wind - Subsidiary will become the Company’s principal business operations.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on January 22, 1962, as Superior Mines Company. In 1964, the Company’s name was changed to Superior Silver Mines, Inc. On December 27, 2010, the Company reincorporated as a Nevada corporation. Prior to the Merger, the Company had been dormant for a number of years and had no known mineral reserves. On January 21, 2011, the Company changed its name from Superior Silver Mines, Inc. to Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. and on March 11, 2013, changed its name to Solar Wind Energy Tower Inc. along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, which changed its name from Clean Wind Energy, Inc. to Solar Wind Energy, Inc. In addition, effective January 24, 2011, the Company’s quotation symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed from SSVM.OB to CWET.OB and on March 11, 2013, in conjunction with our name change, the Company’s quotation symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed from CWET.OB to SWET.OB.

Overview

Our Company’s core objective and focus is to become a leading provider of clean efficient green energy to the world communities at a reasonable cost without the destructive residuals of fossil fuel, while continuing to generate innovative technological solutions for today and tomorrow’s electrical power needs.

Solar Wind has assembled a team of experienced business professionals, engineering and scientific consultants with the proven ability to bring the idea to market. Solar Wind has filed and been issued patents that the Company believes will further enhance this potentially revolutionary technology. Solar Wind is based in Annapolis, MD, and is traded on the OTCBB under the symbol ’SWET’.

Solar Wind has designed, engineered, developed and is preparing to construct large “Solar Wind Downdraft Towers” that use benevolent, non-toxic natural elements to generate electricity economically by integrating and synthesizing numerous proven as well as emerging technologies. In addition to constructing Solar Wind Downdraft Towers in the United States and abroad, the Company intends to establish partnerships at home and abroad to propagate these systems and meet increasing global demand for electricity.

Any statements contained in this report or the information incorporated by references that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.

These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including those risk factors discussed under “Trends, Risks and Uncertainties”, many of which are also beyond the Company’s control. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent such updates and/or revisions are required by applicable law.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, published by the SEC, recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

We believe that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

General

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue, if any, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions 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. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Board of Directors. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably possible could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has generated no revenues to date. It is the Company’s policy that revenue from product sales or services will be recognized in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product was not delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. The Company did not have any revenue during the period ended June 30, 2016.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the provisions under FASB for Fair Value Measurements, which define fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Company’s adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions.

In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-05 “Compensation—Stock Compensation—Escrowed Share Arrangements and Presumption of Compensation” (“2010-05”). 2010-05 re-asserts that the Staff of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) has stated the presumption that for certain shareholders escrowed share represent a compensatory arrangement. 2010-05 further clarifies the criteria required to be met to establish a position different from the SEC Staff’s position. The Company does not believe this pronouncement to have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting for Derivatives

In 2015 and 2016, we issued convertible notes payable that contained certain conversion features which we identified as embedded derivatives. In addition, the Company has the possibility of exceeding their common shares authorized when considering the number of possible shares that may be issuable to satisfy settlement provisions of convertible notes after consideration of all existing instruments that could be settled in shares. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, we reclassified the fair value of the conversion feature from equity to a liability at the date of issuance. Subsequent to the initial issuance date, we are required to adjust to fair value the derivative as an adjustment to current period operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There are various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During 2015 and 2016, we issued convertible promissory notes with an embedded derivative, all requiring us to fair value the derivatives each reporting period and mark to market as a non-cash adjustment to our current period operations. This resulted in a gain of $2,768,987 and $609,792 on change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through private offerings of our equity securities and issuance of convertible notes.

Working Capital

Our working capital deficit decreased by $1,952,938 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 from a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $5,949,589 at December 31, 2015 to a working capital deficit of $3,996,651 at June 30, 2016. The decrease in working capital deficit for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is due to a combination of reasons, of which the significant factors include:

● Cash had a net decrease in working capital by $10,783 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The most significant uses and proceeds of cash were:

● Approximately $112,000 of cash consumed in operating activities;

● Proceeds of $101,000 from issuance of convertible notes payable;

● A reduction in our carrying value of our derivative liabilities of $2,247,082 (a non-cash item)

Total current assets of $436 and $11,219 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, cash representing 100% as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Proceeds from the issuance of convertible promissory notes

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company received proceeds of $101,000 from the issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes.



23


Cash flow analysis

Cash used in operations was $111,783 during the six month period ended June 30, 2016. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, our primary capital needs were for operating expenses, including funds to support our business strategy, which primarily includes working capital necessary to fund operations and reducing our account payables.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not have any investing activities.

Cash provided by financing activities was comprised of net proceeds of $101,000 from the issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has reported a net loss from operations of $274,992 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, accumulated deficit of $17,501,650 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $3,996,651 as of June 30, 2016.

The Company does not have any revenues from operations and will be dependent on funds raise to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Management expects that global economic conditions will continue to present a challenging operating environment through 2016. To the extent permitted by working capital resources, management intends to continue making targeted investments in strategic operating and growth initiatives. Working capital management will continue to be a high priority for 2016.

While we have been able to manage our working capital needs with the current credit facilities, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow requirements from operations. We cannot predict whether this new financing will be in the form of equity or debt. We may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments.

Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and the downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Off-Balance sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor do we participate in any non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.

Number of Employees

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had 2 full time employees.

Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

The Company does not have any significant contractual obligations which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MATERIAL RISK.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) or 15d - 15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation and due to the lack of segregation of duties and failure to implement accounting controls, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

The reason for the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was the result of having a limited number of employees and not having proper segregation of duties based on the cost benefit of hiring additional employees solely to address the segregation of duties issue. We compensate for the lack of segregation of duties by employing close involvement of management in day-to-day operations.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As a small business, without a viable business and revenues, the Company does not have the resources to install a dedicated staff with deep expertise in all facets of SEC disclosure and GAAP compliance. As is the case with many small businesses, the Company will continue to work with its external consultants and attorneys as it relates to new accounting principles and changes to SEC disclosure requirements. The Company has found that this approach worked well in the past and believes it to be the most cost effective solution available for the foreseeable future.



25


The Company will conduct a review of existing sign-off and review procedures as well as document control protocols for critical accounting spreadsheets. The Company will also increase management’s review of key financial documents and records.

As a small business, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function. However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of, financial statements on a monthly basis. These actions, in addition to the improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Typenex Co-Investment, LLC filed suit against the Company on September 4, 2014 in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division claiming that the Company breached a contract it entered into with Typenex, and that Typenex was entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding balance of their monies the Company allegedly owed to Typenex into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Solar Wind Energy Tower Inc. common shares. Typenex seeks money damages and court orders enjoining the Company from further breaches. In a related suit filed September 9, 2014 in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho, Typenex claims that the Company’s transfer agent violated certain transfer instructions issued by the Company. The Company has not been named as a defendant in this suit and the parties have agreed that the transfer agent will be part of the Northern District litigation. (The Idaho litigation has not yet been dismissed) The Company maintained that it provided cash to retire the debt owed to Typenex, and denies that Typenex was entitled to the conversion into Company stock. In 2016, the Company settled all outstanding claims for $90,000.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below and the other matters set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider all of these risks.

The Company has a history of operating losses and an accumulated deficit and expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Since inception through June 30, 2016, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $17,100,168 and has never generated enough funds through operations to support its business. The Company has a limited operating history and has primarily engaged in operations relating to the development of its business plan. Additional capital may be required in order to provide working capital requirements for the next twelve months.

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

In their report dated March 2, 2017, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern, and that they have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors’ doubts are based on our net losses and deficits in cash flows. We continue to experience net operating losses since the Company is still in a development stage. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including by the sale of our securities, or obtaining loans from financial institutions, where possible. Our continued net operating losses and our auditors’ doubts increase the difficulty of our meeting such goals. If we are not successful in raising sufficient additional capital, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and our stockholders may lose their entire investment.
