P ROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision in our common stock. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus and the information set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” As used in this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation.

Our Business

Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation, is currently in the business of designing Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (“OTEC”) power plants and Seawater Air Conditioning (“SWAC”) plants for large commercial properties, utilities, and municipalities. These technologies provide practical solutions to mankind’s three oldest and most fundamental needs: clean drinking water, plentiful food, and sustainable, affordable energy without the use of fossil fuels. OTEC is a clean technology that continuously extracts energy from the temperature difference between warm surface ocean water and cold deep seawater. In addition to producing electricity, some of the seawater running through an OTEC plant can be efficiently desalinated using the power generated by the OTEC technology, producing thousands of cubic meters of fresh water every day for the communities served by its plants for use in agriculture and human consumption. This cold deep nutrient-rich water can also be used to cool buildings (SWAC) and for fish farming/ aquaculture. In short, it’s a technology with many benefits, and its versatility makes OTEC unique.

We previously operated under the corporate name of TetriDyn Solutions, Inc. (“TetriDyn”). On March 10, 2017, TetriDyn entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“OTE”). On May 9, 2017, TetriDyn consummated the acquisition of all outstanding equity interests of OTE pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, with a newly created Delaware corporation that is wholly owned by TetriDyn (“TetriDyn Merger Sub”), merging with and into OTE (the “Merger”) and OTE continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of TetriDyn. Effective upon the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), the OTE stock issued and outstanding or existing immediately prior to the Closing was converted into the right to receive newly issued shares of TetriDyn common stock. As a result of the Merger, TetriDyn succeeded to the business and operations of OTE. In connection with the consummation of the Merger and upon the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares, TetriDyn filed with the Nevada Secretary of State an amendment to its articles of incorporation changing its name to “Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation.”

Our principal executive office is located at 800 South Queen Street, Lancaster, PA 17603. Our telephone number is (717) 299-1344 and our website is www.otecorporation.com.

R ISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

The auditors’ report for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The report of our auditors on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, as well as for prior years, contains an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We had a net loss of $7,880,013 and $14,591,675, respectively; used cash in operations of $1,638,582 and $1,469,169, respectively; and had a working capital deficiency of $17,601,515 and $10,716,255, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $75,583,231 and $67,703,218, respectively, at December 31, 2018 and 2017. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern beyond December 31, 2019, is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities or stockholder loans and to implement our business plan during the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding through implementing our strategic plans, broadly based marketing strategy, and sales incentives to expand operations will provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern.

We have no current project that will generate revenues in the near future.

None of our several projects is to the development stage at which it will generate revenues in the near future. Our project development cycles are relatively long, extending over several years as we identify a potential project site, complete negotiations with third parties, complete permitting, obtain financing, complete construction, and place a plant into service. We expect to receive a development fee of approximately 3% of the project cost from our projects, payable upon the close of project financing. Operating revenues from projects are expected to be received when the plant has been built and placed into operation. We are currently focusing on developing a U.S. Virgin Island project, but even if we develop it successfully, it will not generate revenues until several years in the future. Until we receive revenues from this or another project, we will be dependent on raising funds from external sources.

We will require substantial amounts of additional capital from external sources.

We do not have any current source of revenues or sufficient cash or other liquid resources to fund our planned activities until we receive development fees from new contracts. Accordingly, as in the past, we will need substantial amounts of capital from external sources to fund day-to-day operations and project development. We have no arrangements or commitment for such capital. We plan to continue our practice of seeking external capital through the sale of debt or equity, although we cannot assure that such efforts will be successful. Any new investments will dilute the interest of the current stockholders. Further, new investors may require preferential financial returns, security, voting rights, or other preferences that will be superior to the rights of the holders of common stock. Alternatively, as project development advances, we may be required to sell all or a portion of our interest in one or more projects, which could reduce our retained financial interest and potential return.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our efforts to develop OTEC and SWAC/LWAC plants are subject to many financial, technical, managerial, and sales risks that may make us unsuccessful.

We incur substantial costs that we may not recover developing a new project that we may not build, operate, or sell. The identification of suitable locations, the investigation of the applicable regulatory and economic framework, the identification of potential purchasers, the completion of preliminary engineering and planning, and the funding of related administrative and support costs ordinarily require several years to complete before we determine to further develop or abandon a project. Each of these steps is fraught with risks and uncertainties, such as:

●

limited market due to low demand, existing competitive energy sources, low power costs, or the absence of a single or few large potential output purchasers;

●

a regulatory scheme suggesting that the development and operation of a plant would be subject to excessively stringent utility regulations, burdensome zoning or permitting practices and requirements, unusually stringent environmental requirements, or similar factors;

●

shortage of suitable onshore locations, lack of available cold water with near-shore accessibility, sea wave and current conditions, and exposure to hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, or similar extreme events;

●

the unavailability of favorable tax or other incentives or excessively stringent applicable incentive requirements;

●

the high cost and potential regulatory difficulties in integrating into new markets;

●

the possibility that new markets may be limited or unstable or exposed to competition from other sources of existing or potentially new energy sources;

●

difficulties in negotiating power purchase agreements (PPAs) with potential customers, including in some instances, the necessity to assist in the formation of a power purchasing group; and

●

the need to educate the market as well as investors regarding the reliability and economical and environmental benefits of ocean thermal technologies.

We cannot assure that we will be able to overcome these risks as we initiate the development of a project. We may incur substantial costs in advancing a project through the early stages, only to conclude eventually that the project is not economically or technically feasible, in which case we may be unable to recover the costs that we have then incurred. When we elect to proceed with a project, we may continue to incur substantial costs and be unable to complete the development, sell the project, or otherwise recover our investment. Even when a project is developed, constructed, and placed into operation, we cannot assure that we will be able to operate at a profit sufficient to recover our total investment.

We are dependent on the performance of counterparties to our agreements .

Our projects are and will be complex, with a number of agreements among several parties that purchase plant outputs; provide financing; complete design, construction, and other services; design and perform regulatory compliance; and fulfill other requirements. The failure of any participant in one of our projects due to its own management, financial, operating, or other deficiencies, all of which may be outside our control, can materially and adversely affect our operations and financial results. In circumstances in which we are not the prime developer of a large-scale project involving many large components in addition to our OTEC, SWAC/LWAC, or other components, we would have little ability to address problems resulting from performance failures by others or implement project-wide remedial measures. The foregoing is illustrated in our Baha Mar project, which is now on hold because of contract performance and financing disputes by others and may never resume.

Ongoing world economic, currency-exchange, energy-price, and political circumstances adversely affect our project development activities.

Recent and ongoing world events outside of our control or influence adversely affect our development activities. Economic uncertainties have resulted in the unpredictable availability of credit, debt, and equity financing; volatile interest rates; currency exchange-rate fluctuations that add risk to international projects; restrictions on the availability of borrowing; concerns respecting inflation and deflation; economic turmoil resulting from unpredictable political events and tensions in international relations; substantial reductions in hydrocarbon energy prices and the impact of such declines on the cost of energy generally; shifts in the economic feasibility of competitive energy sources; and similar factors. These adverse factors frequently have a particularly intense effect on emerging markets and developing countries, which we believe provide the greatest opportunity for our development of our projects. The possibility that principal energy prices will continue at current or even higher levels, which could reduce the projected cost at which power could be generated by hydrocarbon-fueled power plants, could make our relatively higher-cost plants less competitive. These emerging and developing markets are particularly vulnerable to the negative impacts of these adverse circumstances. The economic feasibility of alternative energy, including the process we develop and propose to operate, as compared to hydrocarbon energy is adversely affected as the prices for hydrocarbon fuels decline. Accordingly, possible continuing low hydrocarbon prices may retard the potential increase in the economic feasibility of alternative energy. The decline in crude oil prices from over $100 per barrel several years ago to approximately half that in mid-2016 has adversely affected alternative energy development. Our ability to develop and operate alternative energy plants and our ability to generate revenue will be adversely affected by continuing, relatively soft hydrocarbon energy prices. Further, alternative energy development may be adversely affected by uncertainty in hydrocarbon prices or public expectations that hydrocarbon prices may decline again.

We require substantial amounts of capital for all phases of our proposed activities.

We require substantial amounts of capital to fund efforts to identify, research, preliminarily engineer, permit, and design our projects and to negotiate PPAs for them. These costs may not be recovered, because we may not elect to complete the development of the project or because the development and operation of the project are not successful. We will rely on external capital to fund all of our operations, and we cannot assure that such capital will be available. Our efforts to access capital markets will be limited, particularly at the outset, because we have not yet developed and placed into operation our first plant. Accordingly, we expect that we will have to provide the potential for a significant economic return for the initial capital we obtain, which will likely dilute the interests of our existing stockholders. We expect that each project that we are able to fully develop, construct, and place into operation will require several stages and levels of debt and equity financing. For example, we expect that a 20-MW OTEC plant may require total capital expenditures of approximately $445 million, consisting of $365 million in project debt financing and $80 million in equity. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain financing, and if obtained, such financing may be on terms that we will retain only a minority financial interest in the completed project and its operations. Our inability to obtain required financing for any activity or project could have a material adverse effect on our activities and operations.

We are reliant on our key executives and personnel.

Our business, development, and prospects are highly dependent upon the continued services and performance of our directors and other key personnel, on whom we rely for experience, technical skills, and commercial relationships. We believe that the loss of services of any existing key executives, for any reason, or failure to attract and retain necessary personnel, could have a material adverse impact on our business, development, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Although we have entered into employment agreements with our key executives, we may not be able to retain our key executives. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our executive employees.

Regulations and policies governing energy projects, power generation, desalinated water sales, and other aspects of our OTEC and SWAC/LWAC plants may adversely affect our ability to develop projects, and any changes in the applicable regulatory schemes may adversely affect projects that we are constructing or have constructed and are operating.

In identifying possible plant locations and undertaking preliminary development, an important factor in the overall economic feasibility of a project will be the governing regulatory regime. Such regulation includes the way the local jurisdiction regulates the power, cooling energy, or water output from a plant. Any change in that regulatory scheme after we determine to develop a plant based on existing circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our proposed operations. Generally, we will seek to structure plant output sales agreements as privately negotiated contracts not subject to utility or similar regulation, but we cannot assure that we will be able to do so. Some PPAs that we may seek to enter into may be subject to public utility commission approval, which may not be obtained or may be delayed. In some jurisdictions, the sale of output from a plant may be subject to public service commission or regulation by a similar authority as a public utility, even though we attempt to negotiate a private purchaser agreement for that output. In these circumstances, we may encounter delays in obtaining any required approval, approval may be conditioned on specified prices or other operating conditions, or the existence of the regulatory framework may delay or limit our ability to seek price increases.

The financial model for our proposed projects has not been tested and may not be successful.

We are proposing a financial model for the development of individual projects that includes development financing provided by us, construction financing provided by equity investors in the specific projects, and project debt financing; the payment of a development fee to us at the time of construction; and continuing equity participation by us throughout the plant’s operation. We have not used this model in the financing or completion of any plant, and we cannot assure that the financial model and, therefore, the anticipated financial return to us will be acceptable to those that might provide the requisite external capital. We may need to revise extensively our financing structure for each project, and we cannot assure that any restructured proposal would not substantially reduce our financial return or increase our risk. The financial, investment, and credit community are generally unfamiliar with OTEC and SWAC/LWAC projects, which will adversely affect our financing efforts. We have no existing relationships with potential sources of debt or equity capital, and any financing sources that we may develop may be inadequate to support the anticipated capital needs of our business. Our efforts to obtain financing may be adversely affected by the fact that our projects will likely be located in developing or emerging markets. Our inability to obtain financing may force us to abandon projects in which we have invested substantial costs, which we may be unable to recover. The process of identifying new sources of debt and equity financing and agreeing on all relevant business and legal terms could be lengthy and could require us to limit the rate at which we can develop projects or reduce our financial return.

We may be exposed to political and legal risks in the developing or emerging markets in which we propose to locate plants.

Many of the markets that may be suitable for a potential OTEC or SWAC/LWAC plants are located in emerging or developing countries that may have evolving and untested regulatory and legal environments for large-scale, international, commercial enterprises. Further, political instability, regime change, or other factors may increase uncertainty and instability, which in turn may adversely affect our ability to secure necessary regulatory approvals and obtain required project financing, which increases related costs and reduces our financial return. Any changes in applicable laws and regulations, including any governmental incentives, environmental requirements or restrictions, safety requirements, and similar matters, and the risk or likelihood of such a change could adversely affect the availability and cost of financing. Further, in some jurisdictions, applicable legal requirements may not have been fully tested and are still being developed in the face of modern international commercial transactions and environmental requirements, which may lead to changes in interpretation or application that may be adverse to us. Our expectations regarding the size of the potential OTEC and SWAC/LWAC markets and the number of possible suitable locations may not be accurate.

Our business plan and models are based on our identification of potential suitable locations for OTEC or SWAC/LWAC plants based on a preliminary evaluation of public information respecting demographic data, current power-generation costs, and local seafloor contours and seawater temperatures, which may be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracy could substantially reduce the total market available to us for plant development.

We may be unable to arrange or complete future construction projects on time, within expected budgets, or without interruption due to materials availability and disruptions in supply, labor, or other factors. If any project reaches the point at which we undertake construction, such construction may be subject to actual prices higher than the amount budgeted, the limited or delayed availability of components or materials, shortages or interruptions of labor or materials, or similar circumstances. In the case we have insufficient budget flexibility to pay increased construction costs, corresponding delays could result to construction completion and the commencement of operations.

Emerging markets are often associated with growth rates that may not be sustainable and may be accompanied by periods of high inflation. Rising inflation or related government monetary and economic policies in certain project jurisdictions may affect our ability to obtain external financing and reduce our ability to implement our expansion strategy. We can give no assurances that a local government will not implement general or project-specific measures to tighten external financing standards, or that if any such measure is implemented, it will not adversely affect our future operating results and profitability.

We are subject to changing attitudes about environmental risks.

Our projects may face opposition from environmental groups that may oppose our development, construction, or operation of OTEC or SWAC/LWAC plants. Each project is expected to have different environmental issues, especially as many of our projects are based in different settings having a wide range of environmental standards. We intend to solicit input from environmental organizations and activists early in our design process for our projects in an effort to consider appropriately these organizations’ recommendations in order to mitigate subsequent conflict or opposition, but we cannot assure that such outreach will be effective in all cases, and if it is not, opposition to our projects could increase our cost and adversely affect the results of our operations.

We may be unable to find land suitable for our projects.

Each project site requires land of differing characteristics to permit the cost-effective construction of OTEC or SWAC/LWAC plants, and suitable land may not always be available. Even if available, such land may be difficult to obtain in a timely or cost-effective manner. For example, we would prefer to place OTEC power systems and facilities as close to the ocean as possible. We hope to mitigate this risk by using land owned by local governments, rather than private individuals or entities, as targeting local governments with favorable energy policies or mandates should reduce land rights risks. Our inability to secure appropriate land at a reasonable cost may render certain of our future projects economically unfeasible.

We have a limited number of suppliers for certain materials, which could increase our costs or delay completion of projects.

In our systems, the two most important components are heat exchangers and deep-water intake pipes. Although there are multiple providers of each of these components, the supply of the best components comes from just a few companies globally. Should these resources become unavailable for any reason or too costly, we would be required to seek alternative suppliers. The products from such suppliers could be of a lower quality or more costly, in any event requiring us to expend additional monies or time to complete our projects as planned. This could result in financial penalties or other costs to us.

There may be greater cost in building OTEC plants that generate over 10 MWs of electricity.

In order to successfully obtain debt financing for OTEC facilities, we must find engineering, procurement, and construction contractors willing to enter into fixed-price contracts at a pricing that is economically viable for us. Based on our preliminary discussions, we believe that engineering, procurement, and construction contractors may be willing to consider fixed-price arrangements for up to 10-MW OTEC facilities, but we have not yet discussed performance risk guarantees for OTEC plants greater than 10 MWs. The cost of construction for larger OTEC power systems may vary considerably and these variances could include increased costs for construction, design, and component procurement. As we gain more experience, we may improve upon efficiencies and accuracy in pricing. Failure to procure engineering, procurement, and construction contractors willing to perform fixed-price contracts on facilities that produce more than 20 MWs may have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Technological advances may render our technologies, products, and services obsolete.

We operate in a fast-moving sector in which new forms of power generation and new energy sources are continuously being researched. New technologies may be able to provide power, coolant, desalinated seawater, or other outputs at a lower cost, including amortization of capital costs, or with less environmental impact. We will remain subject to these risks for the useful life of our projects, which could extend for 20 to 30 years or more. Any such technological improvements could render our projects obsolete.

We may not successfully manage growth.

We intend to continue to develop the projects in our project pipeline and to construct and operate plants as we deem warranted and as we are able to finance. This is an ambitious growth strategy. Our growth and future success will depend on the successful completion of the expansion strategies and the sufficiency of demand for our energy products. The execution of our expansion strategies may also place a strain on our managerial, operational, and financial reserves. Should we fail to effectively implement such expansion strategies or should there be insufficient demand for our products and services, our business operations, financial performance, and prospects would be adversely affected.

There will likely be a single or limited number of power purchasers from each plant, so we will be dependent on their economic viability and stability and continued operations.

We expect that any plant that we operate will provide power, cooling, desalinated water, or other products to a few or a limited number of key power purchasers that will use the power for specific commercial enterprises, such as resorts, manufacturing or processing plants, or similar large-scale operations. Accordingly, our ability to sell power and other outputs will be dependent on the economic viability of these purchasers. If one or more key purchasers were to fail, we would be required to obtain alternative purchasers for our power and other outputs, and there may be no or a limited number of alternative purchasers in the merging and developing markets where we anticipate our plants may be located. Accordingly, a failure of an output purchaser may result in the failure of our power plant project. We do not anticipate that we will be able to obtain insurance to protect us against such a loss on acceptable terms. Further, our project output purchasers may not comply with contractual payment obligations or may otherwise fail to perform their contracts, and they may have greater economic bargaining power and negotiating leverage as we seek to enforce our contractual rights. To the extent that any of our project power purchasers are, or are controlled by, governmental entities, our projects may also be subject to legislative, administrative, or other political action or policies that impair their contractual performance. Any failure of any key power purchasers to meet their contractual obligations for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Operational problems, natural events or catastrophes, casualty loss, or other events may impair the commercial operation of our projects.

Our ability to meet our delivery obligations under power-generation contracts, as well as our ability to meet economic projections, will depend on our ability to maintain the efficient working order of our plants. Severe weather, natural disasters, accidents, failure of significant equipment components, inability to obtain replacement parts, failure of power transmission facilities, or other catastrophes or occurrences could materially interrupt our activities and consequently reduce our economic return. Since all of our plants will be located on the shore within close proximity to deep-ocean or lake water, our plants will be subject to extraordinary natural occurrences, such as wave surges from hurricanes or typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, and other events, over which we will have absolutely no control. We cannot assure that we can obtain sufficient insurance to protect us from all risks resulting from such catastrophes. Further, we cannot assure that any design features or operating policies that we may use will mitigate the risks to which our plants may be exposed. Any threatened or actual events could expose us to plant shutdowns, substantial repairs, interruptions of operations, damages to our power purchasers, and similar events that could require us to incur substantial costs and significantly impair our revenues and results of operations.

We may be adversely affected by climate change.

Climate change may result in changes in ocean currents and water temperatures that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. These changes may require additional capital costs or impair the efficiency of our operations. Because of the size and cost of major components of our power plants, we typically will not inventory spare components, so that any substantial damage may require that we await the custom manufacture and delivery of such items, which may involve substantial delays. Significant changes may render any plant inefficient and uneconomical.

Our projects will be subject to substantial regulation.

Our projects likely will be significant commercial or industrial enterprises in each of their locations and, as such, will be subject to numerous environmental, health and safety, antidiscrimination, and similar laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions governing our locations. These laws and regulations will require our projects to obtain and maintain permits and approvals; complete environmental impact assessments or statements prior to construction; and review processes and operations to implement environmental, health and safety, antidiscrimination, and other programs and procedures to control risks associated with our operations.

Our in-water facilities and operations may be deemed to threaten living coral, sea plants and animals, shoreline contours, and similar items. In some circumstances, we may encounter environmental problems that we may unable to overcome, which may force us to relocate our facilities, at considerable additional costs.

If our projects do not comply with applicable laws, regulations, or permit conditions, or if there are endangered or threatened species fatalities on our projects, we may be required to pay penalties or fines or curtail or cease operations of the affected projects. In addition, violations of environmental and other laws, including certain violations of laws protecting wetlands, shorelines and land, and sea plant and animal life, may result in civil fines, criminal sanctions, or injunctions.

Some environmental laws impose liability on current and previous owners and operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances, without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of such hazardous substance. In some jurisdictions, private plaintiffs may also bring claims arising from the presence of hazardous substances or their unlawful release or exposure. We will likely be unable to purchase insurance against these risks at all or on acceptable terms.

Environmental health and safety laws, regulations, and permit requirements applicable to any specific project at the time of construction may change or become more stringent during the life of the operation. Any such changes could require that our projects incur substantial additional costs, alter their operations, or limit or curtail their operations in order to comply, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations. We may not be able to pass on any additional costs that we incur to our power purchasers, particularly in those cases in which we sell power pursuant to a long-term, fixed-price agreement. The OTEC and SWAC/LWAC industry may be subject to increased regulatory oversight.

As the OTEC and SWAC/LWAC industries develop, new regulatory schemes may be adopted by one or more jurisdictions in which we develop or operate plants in order to address actual or perceived threats or problems. In addition to more stringent environmental, safety, and other regulations that may be applicable to us generally under the current regulatory scheme, whole new areas of regulation may be adopted, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. New regulations may specifically regulate, for example, the price at which power that is generated from different seawater temperatures may be sold, even to private purchasers. We may have plants in various locations subject to different governing jurisdictions, so the complexity of this developing and expanding regulatory pattern may be particularly cumbersome and expensive.

Insurance to cover anticipated risks may become more expensive.

There are no known commercial OTEC and SWAC/LWAC plants in operation, so the nature and cost of insurance is difficult to predict. Insurance costs may substantially exceed the costs forecast during the planning process or budgeted during actual operations. We cannot assure that adequate insurance coverage will be available to protect us against all risks or that any related costs will be economical. Accordingly, if we are unable or cannot afford to purchase insurance against specific risks, our projects may be fully exposed to those risks, which also could have a material adverse effect on the viability of any affected plant.

Risks Related to Our International Operations

Certain risks of loss arise from our need to conduct transactions in foreign currencies.

Our business activities outside the United States and its territories may be conducted in foreign currencies. In the future, our capital costs and financial results may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates between the applicable currency and the dollar. Other currencies used by us may not be convertible at satisfactory rates. In addition, the official conversion rates between a particular foreign currency and the U.S. dollar may not accurately reflect the relative value of goods and services available or required in other countries. Further, inflation may lead to the devaluation of such other currencies.

Foreign governmental entities may have the authority to alter the terms of our rights or agreements if we do not comply with the terms and obligations indicated in such agreements.

Pursuant to the laws in some jurisdictions in which we may develop or operate plants, foreign governmental entities may have the authority to alter the terms of our contractual or financial rights or override the terms of privately negotiated agreements. In extreme circumstances, some foreign governments have taken the step of confiscating private property on the assertion that such action is necessary in the public interest of the country. If this were to occur, we may not be compensated fairly or at all. We cannot assure that we have complied, and will comply, with all the terms and obligations imposed on us under all foreign laws to which one or more of our operations and assets may be subject.

Our operations will require our compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

We must conduct our activities in or related to foreign companies in compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and similar anti-bribery laws that generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Enforcement officials interpret the FCPA’s prohibition on improper payments to government officials to apply to officials of state-owned enterprises, including state-owned enterprises with which we may develop or operate projects or to which we may sell plant outputs. While our employees and agents are required to acknowledge and comply with these laws, we cannot assure that our internal policies and procedures will always protect us from violations of these laws, despite our commitment to legal compliance and corporate ethics. The occurrence or allegation of these activities may adversely affect our business, performance, prospects, value, financial condition, reputation, and results of operations.

Our competitors may not be subject to laws similar to the FCPA, which may give them an advantage in negotiating with underdeveloped countries and the government agencies.

Our competitors outside the United States may not be subject to anti-bribery or corruption laws as encompassing or stringent as the U.S. laws to which we are subject, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage.

We may encounter difficulties repatriating income from foreign jurisdictions.

As we develop and place plants into operation, we intend to enter into revenue-generating agreements in which we are paid only in U.S. dollars directly to our U.S. banks or through countries in which repatriation of the funds to our U.S. accounts is unrestricted. However, situations could arise in which we agree to accept payment in foreign jurisdictions and for which restrictions make it difficult or costly to transfer these funds to our U.S. accounts. In this event, we could incur costs and expenses from our U.S. assets for which we cannot recover income directly. This could require us to obtain additional working capital from other sources, which may not be readily available, resulting in increased costs and decreased profits, if any.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our common stock is thinly traded, and there is no guarantee of the prices at which the shares will trade.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the ticker symbol “CPWR.” Not being listed on an established securities exchange has an adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts’ and the media’s coverage of our company. This may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and asked prices for our common stock. Historically, our common stock has been thinly traded, and there is no guarantee of the prices at which the shares will trade or of the ability of stockholders to sell their shares without having an adverse effect on market prices.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have not paid dividends on our common stock to date, and we may not be in a position to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends depends on our ability to successfully develop our OTEC business and generate revenue from future operations. Further, our initial earnings, if any, will likely be retained to finance our growth. Any future dividends will depend upon our earnings, our then-existing financial requirements, and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors.

Because our common stock is a “penny stock,” it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock at times and prices that are acceptable.

Our common stock is a “penny stock.” Broker-dealers that sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny stock market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser’s written agreement to the purchase. The penny stock rules may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares of our common stock. Because of these rules, many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions and there is less trading in penny stocks. Accordingly, investors may not always be able to resell shares of our common stock publicly at times and prices that they feel are appropriate.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their noninstitutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit an investor's ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018. Compliance with public company regulatory requirements, including those relating to our internal control over financial reporting, have and will likely continue to result in significant expenses and, if we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock may be negatively affected.

As a public reporting company, we are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as well as to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other federal securities laws. As a result, we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses, including costs associated with our public company reporting requirements and corporate governance requirements. As an example of public reporting company requirements, we evaluate the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and of our internal control over financing reporting in order to allow management to report on such controls.

Our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018, due to a failure to maintain an effective control environment, failure of segregation of duties, failure of entity-level controls, and our sole executive’s access to cash.

If significant deficiencies or other material weaknesses are identified in our internal control over financial reporting that we cannot remediate in a timely manner, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements. This would likely have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock and our ability to secure any necessary additional equity or debt financing.

Risks Relating to our Equity Line with L2 Capital

Resales of shares purchased by L2 Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we have the right to “put,” or sell, up to $15,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock to L2 Capital. Unless terminated earlier, L2 Capital’s purchase commitment will automatically terminate on the earlier of the date on which L2 Capital has purchased shares pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 or December 11, 2020. The common stock to be issued to L2 Capital pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement will be purchased at a price equal to 85% of the “Market Price,” which is defined as the lowest traded price on the OTCQB, as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P., during the five consecutive trading days including and immediately prior to the settlement date of the sale, which in most circumstances will be the trading day immediately following the date that a put notice is delivered to L2 Capital (a “Put Date”). L2 Capital will have the financial incentive to sell the shares of our common stock issuable under the Equity Purchase Agreement in advance of or upon receiving such shares and to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the current market price of the shares. This may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Purchase Agreement itself.

Puts under the Equity Purchase Agreement may cause dilution to existing stockholders.

From time to time during the term of the Equity Purchase Agreement, and at our sole discretion, we may present L2 Capital with a put notice requiring L2 Capital to purchase shares of our common stock. As a result, our existing stockholders will experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any of the shares by L2 Capital. L2 Capital may resell some, if not all, of the shares that we issue to it under the Equity Purchase Agreement and these sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly. To the extent of any such decline, any subsequent puts would require us to issue and sell a greater number of shares to L2 Capital in exchange for each dollar of the put amount. Under these circumstances, our existing stockholders will experience greater dilution. The effect of this dilution may, in turn, cause the price of our common stock to decrease further, both because of the downward pressure on the stock price that would be caused by a large number of sales of our shares into the public market by L2 Capital, and because our existing stockholders may disagree with a decision to sell shares to L2 Capital at a time when our stock price is low and may, in response, decide to sell additional shares, further decreasing our stock price. If we draw down amounts under the Equity Line when our share price is decreasing, we will need to issue more shares to raise the same amount of funding.

There is no guarantee that we will satisfy the conditions to the Equity Purchase Agreement.

Although the Equity Purchase Agreement provides that we can require L2 Capital to purchase, at our discretion, up to $15,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock in the aggregate, our ability to put shares to L2 Capital and obtain funds when requested is limited by the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement, including restrictions on when we may exercise our put rights, restrictions on the amount we may put to L2 Capital at any one time, which is determined in part by the trading volume of our common stock, and a limitation on our ability to put shares to L2 Capital to the extent that it would cause L2 Capital to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

We may not have access to the full amount available under the Equity Purchase Agreement with L2 Capital.

Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement requires that a registration statement be declared effective and continue to be effective registering the resale of shares issuable under the Equity Purchase Agreement. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part registers the resale of 52,631,578 shares of our common stock issuable under the Equity Line. Our ability to sell any additional shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement will be contingent on our ability to prepare and file one or more additional registration statements registering the resale of such additional shares. These registration statements (and any post-effective amendments thereto) may be subject to review and comment by the staff of the SEC and will require the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm. Therefore, the timing of effectiveness of these registration statements (and any post-effective amendments thereto) cannot be assured. Even if we are successful in causing one or more registration statements registering the resale of some or all of the shares issuable under the Equity Purchase Agreement to be declared effective by the SEC in a timely manner, we may not be able to sell the shares unless certain other conditions are met. For example, we might have to increase the number of our authorized shares in order to issue the shares to L2 Capital. Increasing the number of our authorized shares will require board and stockholder approval. Accordingly, because our ability to draw down any amounts under the Equity Purchase Agreement with L2 Capital is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will be able to draw down all of the proceeds of $15,000,000 under the Equity Purchase Agreement. As of April 5, 2019, we have only drawn down $135,575 under the Equity Line.

C AUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus may contain certain “forward-looking” statements as such term is defined by the SEC in its rules, regulations, and releases, which represent our expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning our operations, economic performance, financial condition, growth and acquisition strategies, investments, and future operational plans. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intent,” “could,” “estimate,” “might,” “plan,” “predict,” or “continue,” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including uncertainty related to acquisitions, governmental regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the operations of the company and its subsidiaries, volatility of stock price, commercial viability of OTEC systems, and any other factors discussed in this and our other filings with the SEC.

These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include those set forth under “Risk Factors” of this prospectus. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or the risk factors described in this prospectus or in the documents we incorporate by reference, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or any other reason after the date of this prospectus.

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding, among other things:

●

our ability to continue as a going concern;

●

our anticipated needs for working capital;

●

our ability to secure financing;

●

actual capital costs, operating costs, production, and economic returns may differ significantly from those that we have anticipated;

●

the financial model for our proposed projects has not been tested and may not be successful;

●

we are subject to changing attitudes about environmental risks;

●

our projects will be subject to substantial regulation;

●

our efforts to develop OTEC and SWAC plants are subject to many financial, technical, managerial, and sales risks that may make us unsuccessful;

●

our exposure to political and legal risks in developing or emerging markets where we propose to locate our plants;

●

technological advances may render our technologies obsolete; and

●

operational problems, natural events or catastrophes, casualty loss, or other events may impair the commercial operation of our projects.

Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the risks outlined under “ Risk Factors, ” and matters described in this prospectus generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will in fact occur. In addition to the information expressly required to be included in this prospectus, we will provide such further material information, if any, as may be necessary to make the required statements, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

U SE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholder. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock to L2 Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement. We will use these proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes or for other purposes that our board of directors, in its good faith, deems to be in our best interest. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the offer and resale by the selling stockholder of the shares being offered hereby.

T HE OFFERING

The selling stockholder may offer and resale of up to 52,631,578 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to this prospectus. All of these shares represent shares that L2 Capital has agreed to purchase from us pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Equity Purchase Agreement we entered into with it on December 11, 2017 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), which are described below.

Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with L2 Capital, LLC

As provided in the Equity Purchase Agreement, we may require L2 Capital to purchase shares of common stock from time to time by delivering a put notice to L2 Capital specifying the total number of shares to be purchased (such number of shares multiplied by the purchase price described below, the “Investment Amount”); provided there must be a minimum of 10 trading days between delivery of each put notice. We may determine the Investment Amount, provided that such amount may not be more than 300% of the average daily trading volume in dollar amount for our common stock during the five trading days preceding the date on which we deliver the applicable put notice. Additionally, the amount may not be lower than $10,000 or higher than $1,000,000. L2 Capital will have no obligation to purchase shares under the Equity Line to the extent that such purchase would cause L2 Capital to own more than 4.99% of our common stock.

For each share of the our common stock purchased under the Equity Line, L2 Capital will pay a purchase price equal to 85% of the “Market Price,” which is defined as the lowest closing traded price on the OTCQB Marketplace, as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P., during the five consecutive trading days including and immediately prior to the settlement date of the sale, which in most circumstances will be the trading day immediately following the Put Date or the date that a put notice is delivered to L2 Capital. On the settlement date, L2 Capital will purchase the applicable number of shares subject to customary closing conditions, including a requirement that a registration statement remain effective registering the resale by L2 Capital of the shares to be issued under the Equity Line as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement described below. The Equity Purchase Agreement is not transferable and any benefits attached thereto may not be assigned.

The Equity Purchase Agreement contains covenants, representations, and warranties of us and L2 Capital that are typical for transactions of this type. In addition, we and L2 Capital have granted each other customary indemnification rights in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement. The Equity Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time.

In connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement, we also entered into Registration Rights Agreement with L2 Capital requiring us to prepare and file a registration statement registering the resale by L2 Capital of shares to be issued under the Equity Line, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement to become effective, and to keep such registration statement effective until: (i) three months after the last closing of a sale of shares under the Equity Line; (ii) the date when L2 Capital may sell all the shares under Rule 144 without volume limitations; or (iii) the date L2 Capital no longer owns any of the shares. In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, we filed the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, registering the resale by L2 Capital of up to 52,631,578 shares that may be issued and sold to L2 Capital under the Equity Line. The registration statement was declared effective on January 29, 2018.

The 52,631,578 shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus by L2 Capital will represent approximately 32% of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding held by nonaffiliates as of the date of this prospectus assuming the offering is fully subscribed.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements and instruments themselves, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 21, 2017, and incorporated into this prospectus by reference. The benefits and representations and warranties set forth in these agreements and instruments are not intended to, and do not, constitute continuing representations and warranties by us or any other party to persons not a party thereto.

We intend periodically to sell our common stock to L2 Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement and L2 Capital may, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the market price or at negotiated prices. This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to L2 Capital to raise the intended amount of funds as our stock price declines.

Likelihood of Accessing the Full Amount of the Equity Line

Notwithstanding that the Equity Line is $15,000,000, we anticipate that the actual likelihood that we will be able access the full amount of the Equity Line is low due to several factors, including that our ability to access the Equity Line is impacted by our average daily trading volume, which may limit the maximum dollar amount of each put we deliver to L2 Capital, and our stock price. Our use of the Equity Line will continue to be limited and restricted if our share trading volume or and market price of our stock continue at their current levels or decrease further in the future from the volume and stock prices reported over the past year. Further, if the price of our stock remains at $0.0535 per share (which represents the average of the high and low reported sales prices of our common stock on April 5, 2019), the sale by L2 Capital of the remaining 50,331,578 of the shares registered in this prospectus would mean we would receive only $2,288,829 from our sale of shares under the Equity Line. Our ability to issue shares in excess of the 52,631,578 shares covered by the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part will be subject to our filing a subsequent registration statement with the SEC and the SEC declaring it effective.

In addition, we may have to increase the number of our authorized shares in order to issue shares to L2 Capital in the future. Increasing the number of our authorized shares will require further board and stockholder approval. Accordingly, because our ability to deliver puts to L2 Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will receive all or any portion of the remaining $15,000,000 that is available to us under the Equity Line.

December 28, 2017 Convertible Note and Warrant Financing Transaction

In December 2017, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreements pursuant to which we issued a series of unsecured promissory notes to accredited investors, in the aggregate principal amount of $979,156, as of December 31, 2018. These notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a quarterly basis and are not convertible into shares of our capital stock. The notes are payable within five business days after receipt of gross proceeds of at least $1,500,000 from L2 Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement. We may prepay the notes in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, on or before the maturity date of July 30, 2019.

In connection with the issuance of the notes, for each note purchased the noteholder will receive a warrant to be exercised as follows:

$10,000 note with a warrant to purchase 2,000 shares

$20,000 note with a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares

$25,000 note with a warrant to purchase 6,500 shares

$30,000 note with a warrant to purchase 8,000 shares

$40,000 note with a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares

$50,000 note with a warrant to purchase 14,000 shares

S ELLING STOCKHOLDER

This prospectus covers the resale by the selling stockholder or its permitted transferees of the remaining 50,331,578 shares of our common stock that may be issued by us to L2 Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement. L2 Capital is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with its resale of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholder has not had any position or office, or other material relationship, with us or any of our affiliates over the past three years. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the selling stockholder as of December 31, 2018, and the remaining number of shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus:

			Number of shares to be beneficially owned and percentage of beneficial ownership after the offering (1)(2)
Name of selling stockholder	Shares beneficially owned as of the date of this prospectus (1)	Number of remaining shares to be offered	Number of shares	Percentage of class (3)
L2 Capital LLC (4)	900,000	50,331,578	900,000	*

_______________

Less than 1%.

(1)

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of common stock. Shares of common stock subject to options and warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days, are counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such options or warrants, but are not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.

(2)

The amount and percentage of shares of our common stock that will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholder after completion of the offering assume that it will sell all shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus.

(3)

Based on 131,038,944 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as December 31, 2018. All shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholder are counted as outstanding for computing the percentage beneficial ownership of the selling stockholder.

P LAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholder or its respective permitted transferees may, from time to time, sell any or all of the shares of our common stock covered hereby on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., or any other stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, varying prices, or negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

●

privately negotiated transactions;

●

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

●

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, provided such amounts are in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121. Discounts, concessions, commissions, and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of common stock will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers.

L2 Capital, LLC is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with the sales. In such event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Because L2 Capital is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling security holders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

Although L2 Capital has agreed not to enter into any “short sales” of our common stock, sales after delivery of a put notice of a number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased under a put notice will not be deemed a “short sale.” Accordingly, L2 Capital may enter into arrangements it deems appropriate with respect to sales of shares of our common stock after it receives a put notice under the Equity Purchase Agreement so long as such sales or arrangements do not involve more than the number of put shares reasonably expected to be purchased by L2 Capital under the put notice.

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, as amended to date, our authorized capital stock consists of 205,000,000 shares, comprised of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of April 5, 2019, there were 133,338,944 shares of common stock and 0 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the trading symbol “CPWR.”

The following description summarizes the material terms of our capital stock. This summary is, however, subject to the provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws. For greater detail about our capital stock, please refer to our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Common Stock

Voting. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of common stock owned by such stockholder on every matter properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Stockholders are not entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors. At any meeting of the stockholders, a quorum as to any matter will consist of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, except when a larger quorum is required by law, our articles of incorporation, or our bylaws.

Dividend Rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends and other distributions of cash or any other right or property as may be declared by our board of directors out of our assets or funds legally available for such dividends or distributions. The dividend rights of holders of common stock are subject to the dividend rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock that may be issued and outstanding from time to time.

Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our affairs, holders of our common stock would be entitled to share ratably in our assets that are legally available for distribution to stockholders after payment of liabilities. If we have any preferred stock outstanding at such time, the holders of the preferred stock may be entitled to distribution and/or liquidation preferences that require us to pay the applicable distribution to the holders of preferred stock before paying distributions to the holders of common stock.

Conversion, Redemption and Preemptive Rights. Holders of our common stock have no conversion, redemption, preemptive, subscription, or similar rights.

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Issuer Direct Corporation, 500 Perimeter Park Drive, Suite D, Morrisville, NC 27560.

Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, as amended to date, we are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. We may issue these shares without stockholder action, from time to time, in one or more series, as may be determined by our board of directors. Our board of directors is expressly granted authority, within the limits set forth in the Nevada Revised Statutes, to:

(a) designate, in whole or in part, the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions, and relative rights of each class of shares before the issuance of any shares of that class;

(b) create one or more series within a class of shares, fix the number of shares of each such series, and designate in whole or in part the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions, and relative rights of the series, all before the issuance of any shares of that series; or

(c) alter or revoke the preferences, limitations, and relative rights granted to or imposed upon any wholly-unissued class of shares or any wholly-unissued series of any class of shares.

At this time, however, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding, and we have not designated any series of preferred stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Some features of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which are further described below, may have the effect of deterring third parties from making takeover bids for control of our company or may be used to hinder or delay a takeover bid.

This would decrease the chance that our stockholders would realize a premium over market price for their shares of common stock as a result of a takeover bid.

Acquisition of Controlling Interest

The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions governing acquisition of controlling interest of a Nevada corporation. These provisions provide generally that any person or entity that acquires a certain percentage of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless the holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation, excluding shares as to which any of such acquiring person or entity, an officer or a director of the corporation, and an employee of the corporation exercises voting rights, elect to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. These provisions apply whenever a person or entity acquires shares that, but for the operation of these provisions, would bring voting power of such person or entity in the election of directors within any of the following three ranges:

●

20% or more but less than 33.3%;

●

33.3% or more but less than or equal to 50%; or

●

more than 50%.

The stockholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from these provisions through adoption of a provision to that effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exempt our common stock from these provisions.

These provisions are applicable only to a Nevada corporation that:

●

has 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation; and

●

does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.

At this time, we do not believe that these provisions apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not apply until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, these provisions may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of our company, regardless of whether the acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.

Combination with Interested Stockholder

The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions governing a combination of a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record with an interested stockholder. As of April 5, 2019, we had approximately 1,500 stockholders of record. Therefore, we believe that these provisions governing a combination of a Nevada corporation apply to us and may have the effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of our company.

A corporation affected by these provisions may not engage in a combination within three years after the interested stockholder acquires his, her, or its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. Generally, if approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be received per share by disinterested stockholders is at least equal to the highest of:

●

the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or within three years immediately before, or in, the transaction in which he, she or it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher;

●

the market value per share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the person became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; or

●

if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if any.

Generally, these provisions define an interested stockholder as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation. Generally, these provisions define combination to include any merger or consolidation with an interested stockholder, or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition in one transaction or a series of transactions with an interested stockholder, of assets of the corporation:

●

having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation;

●

having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or

●

representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

Our articles of incorporation contains provisions for “blank-check preferred stock” that may delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company and that would operate only with respect to an extraordinary corporate transaction involving our company, such as merger, reorganization, tender offer, sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets, or liquidation.

B USINESS

Overview

OCEES International Inc. (“OCEES”) was formed under the laws of Hawaii on January 21, 1998. Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (“OTE Delaware”) was a Delaware corporation formed on October 18, 2010. In 2011, OCEES and OTE Delaware entered into a share exchange agreement. The transaction was treated as a merger of entities under common control as 100% of the stockholders of OCEES exchanged their shares for 100% of the outstanding shares of OTE Delaware.

OTE Delaware used its proprietary technology to develop, build, own, and operate renewable energy systems, primarily in the Eastern and Western Caribbean Islands.

On December 17, 2013, Broadband Network Affiliates, Inc. (“BBNA”), a Nevada corporation, changed its state domicile and became a Delaware corporation. On December 23, 2013, BBNA entered into a merger agreement with OTE Delaware, which was effective December 31, 2013. Upon completion of the merger, BBNA changed its name to Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (“OTE”) and the former OTE Delaware ceased to exist. The transaction was treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization by OTE Delaware.

We previously operated under the corporate name of TetriDyn Solutions, Inc. (“TetriDyn”). On March 10, 2017, TetriDyn entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with OTE. On May 9, 2017, TetriDyn consummated the acquisition of all outstanding equity interests of OTE pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, with a newly created Delaware corporation that is wholly owned by TetriDyn (“TetriDyn Merger Sub”), merging with and into OTE (the “Merger”) and OTE continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of TetriDyn. Effective upon the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), the OTE stock issued and outstanding or existing immediately prior to the Closing was converted at the Closing into the right to receive newly issued shares of TetriDyn common stock. As a result of the Merger, TetriDyn succeeded to the business and operations of OTE. In connection with the consummation of the Merger and upon the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares, TetriDyn filed with the Nevada Secretary of State an amendment to its articles of incorporation changing its name to “Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation.”

Our Business

We develop projects for renewable power generation, desalinated water production, and air conditioning using proprietary intellectual property designed and developed by our own experienced oceanographers, engineers, and marine scientists. Plants using our technologies are designed to extract energy from the temperature difference between warm surface ocean water and cold deep seawater at a depth of approximately 3,000 feet. We believe these technologies provide practical solutions to mankind’s fundamental needs for sustainable, affordable energy; desalinated water for domestic, agricultural, and aquaculture uses; and cooling, all without the use of fossil fuels.

●

Ocean Thermal Electrical Conversion, known in the industry as “OTEC,” power plants are designed to produce electricity. In addition, some of the seawater running through an OTEC plant can be desalinated efficiently, producing fresh water for agriculture and human consumption.

●

Seawater Air Conditioning, known in its industry as SWAC, plants are designed to use cold water from ocean depths to provide air conditioning for large commercial buildings or other facilities. This same technology can also use deep cold water from lakes, known as Lake Water Air Conditioning or LWAC.

Both OTEC and SWAC/LWAC systems can be engineered to produce desalinated water for potable, agricultural, and fish farming/aquaculture uses.

Many applications of technologies based on ocean temperature differences between surface and deep seawater have been developed at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority, or NELHA, test facility (http://nelha.hawaii.gov), including applications for desalinated seawater, fish-farming, and agriculture. We believe our proprietary advances to existing technologies developed by others in the industry enhance their commercialization for the plants we propose to develop.

We have recruited a scientific and engineering team that includes oceanographers, engineers, and marine scientists who have worked for a variety of organizations since the 1970s on several systems based on extracting the energy from the temperature differences between surface and deep seawater, including projects by NELHA, the Argonne National Laboratory (http://www.anl.gov), and others. Note: All URL addresses in this prospectus are inactive textual references only. Our executive team members have complementary experience in leading engineering and technical companies and projects from start-up to commercialization.

In addition, we expect to use our technology in the development of an OTEC EcoVillage, which should add significant value to our business. We will facilitate the development of sustainable living communities by creating an ecologically sustainable “OTEC EcoVillage” powered by 100% fossil-fuel free electricity. In the development, buildings will be cooled by energy-efficient and chemical-free systems, and water for drinking, aquaculture, and agriculture will be produced onsite. The OTEC EcoVillage project consists, in part, of an OTEC plant that will provide all power and water to about 400 residences, a hotel, and a shopping center, as well as models of sustainable agriculture, food production, and other economic developments. Each sale of luxury EcoVillage residences will support the development of environmentally responsible affordable communities in tropical and subtropical regions of the world currently in development. Our OTEC EcoVillage will be the first development in the world offering a net-zero carbon footprint. This will be our pilot project, launched to prove the viability of OTEC technology to provide affordable renewable energy for entire communities. We believe this project could be highly profitable and generate significant value for our shareholders. The U.S. Virgin Islands’ Public Service Commission has granted regulatory approval to us for an OTEC plant, and we have identified the specific plots of land for the site. The first draft of the master plan for the entire development has been completed.

Our Vision

Our vision is to bring these technologies to tropical and subtropical regions of the world where about three billion people live. Our market includes 68 countries and 29 territories with suitable sea depth, shore configuration, and market need; we plan to be the first company in the world to design and build a commercial scale OTEC plant and, to that end, have several projects in the planning stages. Our initial markets and potential projects include several U.S. Department of Defense bases situated in the Asia Pacific and other regions where energy independence is crucial. Currently, we have projects in the planning and development stages in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Our Technology

OTEC is a self-sustaining energy source, with no supplemental power required to generate continuous (24/7) electricity. It works by converting heat from the sun, which has warmed ocean surface water, into electric power, and then completing the process by cooling the plant with cold water from deep in the ocean. The cold water can also be used for very efficient air conditioning and desalinated to produce fresh water. OTEC has worked in test settings where there exists a natural temperature gradient of 20 degrees Celsius or greater in the ocean. We believe OTEC can deliver sustainable electricity in tropical and subtropical regions of the world at rates approximately 20-40% lower than typical costs for electricity produced by fossil fuels in those markets.

Further, we believe that a small, commercial OTEC plant could offer competitive returns even in a market where the cost of electricity is as low as $0.30 per kilowatt-hour, or kWh. For example, the Inter-American Development Bank, an international bank providing development financing in Latin America and the Caribbean, reports that energy prices for hydrocarbon-generated power during 2010-2012 for 15 Caribbean countries averaged $0.33 per kWh, with a high of $0.43 per kWh in Antigua and Barbados. For the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Water and Power Authority of the Virgin Islands reported that as of February 1, 2019, the average price for electricity for commercial customers was nearly $0.44 per kWh. In addition to the per kWh rates, all customers are assessed a flat rate customer charge: residential-$4.86; commercial single phase-$6.33; or commercial three phase-412.65. We believe that we have an opportunity to offer base-load energy (the amount of energy required to meet minimum requirements) pricing that is better than our customer’s next best alternative in the markets where electricity costs are $0.30 or more per kWh.

Technology advancements have significantly brought the capital costs of OTEC down to make it competitive compared to traditional energy sources. Technology improvements include larger diameter seawater pipes manufactured with improved materials, increased pumping capabilities from OTEC depths, better understanding of material requirements in the deep ocean environment, more experience in deep water pipeline and cable installation techniques, and more accurate sea bottom mapping technology, which is required for platform positioning and pipe installation. The cold-water pipes at a demonstration site in Hawaii have been in continuous operation for more than 20 years, and the technology has improved significantly since the Hawaiian installation.

We estimate that a small OTEC plant that delivers 13 megawatts (MWs) per hour for 30 years would currently cost approximately $350 million. This is the plant size that we typically propose for our initial target markets to meet 20% or more of their current demand for electricity and a large portion of their need for fresh drinking water and agricultural water. OTEC has been proven in test settings at NELHA, where a Department of Energy-sponsored OTEC plant operated successfully throughout the 1990s to produce continuous, affordable electricity from the sea without the use of fossil fuels. Spin-off technologies of desalination and seawater cooling, developed from the OTEC plant at NELHA, have also become economically and technically feasible.

Finally, we believe the decreasing supply and increasing cost of fossil-fuel-based energy has intensified the search for renewable alternatives. We further believe that renewable energy sources, although traditionally more expensive than comparable fossil-fuel plants, have many advantages, including increased national energy security, decreased carbon emissions, and compliance with renewable energy mandates and air quality regulations. We believe these market forces will continue and potentially increase. In remote islands where shipping costs and limited economies of scale substantially increase fossil-fuel-based energy, renewable energy sources may be attractive. Many islands contain strategic military bases with high-energy demands that we believe would greatly benefit from a less expensive, reliable source of energy that is produced locally, such as OTEC.

SWAC/LWAC is a process that uses cold water from locations such as the ocean or deep lakes to provide the cooling capacity to replace traditional electrical chillers in an air conditioning system. SWAC /LWAC applications can reduce the energy consumption of a traditional air-conditioning system by as much as 90%. Even when the capital cost amortization of building a typically sized SWAC /LWAC system providing 9,800 tons of cooling ($140-$150 million) are taken into account, SWAC /LWAC can save the customer approximately 25-40% when compared to conventional systems—we estimate savings can be as high as 50% in locations where air temperatures and electricity costs are high. Cooling systems using seawater or groundwater for large commercial structures are in use at numerous locations developed and operated by others worldwide, including Heathrow Airport, UK; Finland (Google Data Center); Cornell University, NY; Stockholm, Sweden; and the City of Toronto, Canada.

How Our Technology Works

OTEC uses the natural temperature difference between cooler deep ocean water at a depth of approximately 3,000 feet and warmer shallow or surface water to create energy. An OTEC plant project involves installing about 6.0 feet diameter, deep-ocean intake pipes (which can readily be purchased), together with surface water pipes, to bring seawater onshore. OTEC uses a heat pump cycle to generate power. In this application, an array of heat exchangers transfer the energy from the warm ocean surface water as an energy source to vaporize a liquid in a closed loop, driving a turbine, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. The cold deep ocean water provides the required temperature to condense vapor back into a liquid, thus completing the thermodynamic cycle, which is constantly and continuously repeated. The working fluid is typically ammonia, as it has a low boiling point. Its high hydrogen density makes ammonia a very promising green energy storage and distribution media. Among practical fuels, ammonia has the highest hydrogen density, including hydrogen itself, in either its low temperature, or cryogenic, and compressed forms. Moreover, since the ammonia molecule is free of carbon atoms (unlike many other practical fuels), combustion of ammonia does not result in any carbon dioxide emissions. The fact that ammonia is already a widely produced and used commodity with well-established distribution and handling procedures allows for its use as an alternative fuel. This same general principle is used in steam turbines, internal combustion engines, and, in reverse, refrigerators. Rather than using heat energy from the burning of fossil fuels, OTEC power draws on temperature differences of the ocean caused by the sun’s warming of the ocean’s surface, providing an unlimited and free source of energy.

OTEC and SWAC /LWAC infrastructure offers a modular design that facilitates adding components to satisfy customer requirements and access to a sufficient supply of cold water. These components include reverse-osmosis desalination plants to produce drinkable water, bottling plants to commercialize the drinkable water, and off-take solutions for aquaculture uses (such as fish farms), which benefit from the enhanced nutrient content of deep ocean water. A further advantage of a modular design is that, depending on the patterns of electricity demand and output of the OTEC plant, a desalination plant can be run using the excess electricity capacity.

Currently, OTEC requires a minimum temperature difference of approximately 20 degrees Celsius to operate, with each degree greater than this increasing output by approximately 10-15%. OTEC has potential applications in tropical and subtropical zones. OTEC is particularly well suited for tropical islands and coastal areas with proximate access to both deep water and warm surface water. These communities are typically subject to high and fluctuating energy costs ranging from $0.28-$0.75 per kWh, as they rely on importing fossil fuels for power generation. Data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy website indicated that at least 68 countries and 29 territories around the globe appear to meet these criteria.

The world’s largest OTEC power plant to date is operational at the NELHA facility in Hawaii and is connected to the electrical grid. It provides base-load electricity produced by OTEC to about 150 homes. Around the world, a couple of other successful developmental and experimental plants have been built, and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, has stated that: “The qualitative analysis of the technical readiness of OTEC by experts at this workshop suggest that a <10 MWe floating, closed-cycle OTEC facility is technically feasible using current design, manufacturing, deployment techniques and materials.” We believe that we have sufficient skill and knowledge to now commercialize 5-MW to 30-MW land-based OTEC plants, using off-the-shelf components, including the cold-water piping.

SWAC/LWAC is a significantly more cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to implement air-conditioning using cold water sourced from lakes or, analogous with OTEC, deep ocean water, rather than from an electric chiller. Comparing Federal Energy Management Program engineering efficiency requirements of approximately 0.94 kilowatts of electricity per ton of cooling capacity with our own engineering estimates of 0.09 kilowatts of electricity per ton of cooling capacity, as calculated by DCO Energy, our engineering, procurement, and construction partner, we estimate that SWAC/LWAC systems can reduce electricity consumption by up to 80-90% when compared to conventional systems. Therefore, we believe energy reductions may make SWAC/LWAC systems well-suited for large structures, such as office complexes, medical centers, resorts, data centers, airports, and shopping malls. We believe that other SWAC/LWAC plants we may develop will likely achieve similar efficiencies. There are examples of proven successful SWAC/LWAC systems in use, including a large 79,000-ton system used to cool buildings in the downtown area of the City of Toronto, Canada; Google’s data center in Finland operates a SWAC/LWAC system that uses waters from the Baltic Sea to keep servers cool and a system with more than 18,000 tons of cooling is in operation at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. On January 10, 2018, William S. (Lanny) Joyce joined our board of advisors. Mr. Joyce was the Director of Utilities and Energy Management in the Energy and Sustainability Department at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. Mr. Joyce initiated and was project manager for the LWAC deep lake water cooling project, an innovative and award-winning project completed in 2000 that provides all of the chilled water production on the central campus utilizing a renewable resource and 86% less energy.

OTEC Versus Other Energy Sources

The construction costs of power plants using any technology are much higher in remote locations, such as tropical islands, than on the mainland of the United States, principally due to the need to transport materials, components, other construction supplies, and labor not available locally. There are also considerations that make those other technologies less attractive in those areas. We believe the consistency of OTEC over its life provides clear advantages over other power-generation technology in the tropical and subtropical markets, because its base-load power (available at all times and not subject to fluctuations throughout the day) is an important asset to the small transmission grid, which is typical in these regions.

Combined-cycle natural gas plants typically need to be capable of generating several hundred MWs to attain the lower cost per kilowatt installed values to make the plant economically feasible. Tropical locations do not have large enough grids and market demand to make that plant size reasonable. Further, tropical locations frequently do not have domestic fuel supplies, requiring fuel to be imported. In order to import natural gas, it must be liquefied for shipment and then vaporized at the location. There are initial cost and public safety concerns with such facilities. In addition, gas-fired plants emit undesirable nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds.

Solar applications continue to increase as the cost and effectiveness of photovoltaic panels improve. However, we estimate that the cost to install solar panels in tropical regions remains high. Beyond the issues with shipping and labor costs that all construction must overcome, the design and building code requirements are tougher in storm-prone areas subject to potential wind damage from hurricanes, earthquakes, and typhoons than are typically encountered in mainland nontropical installations. Support structures must be more substantial in order to hold the solar panels in place in case of hurricane-force winds. Solar power, like wind power, places substantial stress on an electrical grid. Since the input of both of these sources is subject to weather conditions, they cannot be considered a reliable supply of power, and back-up capacity is necessary. Further, instantaneous changes in output due to sporadic cloud cover create transient power flow to the grid, creating difficulties in maintaining proper voltages and stability. OTEC is a stabilizing source to the grid, providing constant and predictable power, and has no emissions. The ability of OTEC to provide constant, continuous power is a large benefit as compared to any of the other renewable options available.

Our estimated price for OTEC-generated power of approximately $0.30 per kWh under current economic conditions, which can be as low as $0.18 net per kWh with maximum efficiency and revenue from water production, is also constant both throughout the year and over a plant’s life. OTEC’s power price, determined almost entirely by the amortization of its initial cost, is a protection against inflation and rising interest rates, which greatly affect coal and oil. Customers in our target markets currently pay from $0.35 to as high as $0.60 per kWh for power from coal and oil-fueled power plants. However, imported fuels are subject to price volatility, which has a direct impact on the cost of electricity and adds operating risk during the life of a plant. The fuel handling to allow for the shipping, storage, and local transport is expensive, a potential source of damaging fuel spills and a basis for environmental concerns. Fossil-fuel plants create pollution, emit carbon dioxide, and are visually unappealing, which is of particular concern in tropical areas renowned for their clear, pristine air and beauty. We project OTEC can save these markets up to 40%, compared to their current electrical costs, and when revenues from fresh drinking water, aquaculture, and agriculture production are considered, the justification is even more compelling.

Overview of the Market and the Feasibility of OTEC in Current Market Conditions

We believe that OTEC is now an economically, technologically, and environmentally competitive power source, especially for developing or emerging countries in certain tropical and subtropical regions contiguous to oceans. Our natural target markets are communities in countries around the Caribbean, Asia, and the Pacific. These locations are typically characterized by limited infrastructure, high-energy costs, mostly imported or expensively generated electricity, and frequently with significant fresh water and food shortages. These are serious limitations on economic development, which we believe our OTEC technology can address.

Data presented to the Sustainable Use of Oceans in the Context of the Green Economy and the Eradication of Poverty workshop in Monaco in 2011 by Whitney Blanchard of the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, show that at least 98 nations and territories using an estimated five terawatts of potential OTEC net power are candidates for OTEC-power systems. Blanchard specifically notes that Hawaii, Guam, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are suitable for OTEC.

Over the past decade, there have been substantial changes in many areas that have now made the commercialization of OTEC a reality. First and foremost is the price of oil, which until 2006/2007 had been relatively inexpensive.

Recent oil prices have been volatile, owing in large part to political instability in the Middle East and elsewhere. Crude oil prices averaged $71.40 in 2018. Oil prices are almost triple the 13-year low of $26.55/bbl on January 20, 2016. Six months before that, oil had been $60/bbl (June 2015). A year earlier, it had been $100.26/bbl (June 2014).

Facts like these have resulted in increased attention and interest in OTEC in the commercial sector and among candidates. With OTEC power, customers can decouple the price of electricity from the price of oil.

The International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook expects liquid natural gas export capacity to grow rapidly in the short term, with major new sources of supply coming mostly from Australia and the United States.

Liquid natural gas prices have collapsed, in part because demand is turning out to be weaker than some previously anticipated. Additionally, many rules and regulations are in effect to mitigate the environmental issues associated with liquid natural gas extraction, transportation, and storage, adding significant costs.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in the United States, nearly 28.5% of 2016 greenhouse gas emissions was generated primarily from burning fossil fuel for our cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes. Over 90% of the fuel used for transportation is petroleum-based, which includes gasoline and diesel.

The electric power sector accounted for 28.4% of total greenhouse gas emissions in 2016.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: “Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels have significantly increased since 1900. Since 1970, CO2 emissions have increased by about 90%, with emissions from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes contributing about 78% of the total greenhouse gas emissions increase from 1970 to 2011.”

Greenhouse gas emissions from electricity have increased by about 12% since 1990 as electricity demand has grown and fossil fuels have remained the dominant source for generations.

Fossil-fuel-fired power plants are a significant source of domestic carbon dioxide emissions, the primary cause of global warming. To generate electricity, fossil-fuel-fired power plants use natural gas, petroleum, coal, or any form of solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel derived from such materials.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration states that renewable energy plays an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Using renewable energy can reduce the use of fossil fuels, which are major sources of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. The consumption of biofuels and other nonhydroelectric renewable energy sources more than doubled from 2000 to 2017, mainly because of state and federal government requirements and incentives to use renewable energy. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that U.S. renewable energy consumption will continue to increase through 2050.

People in many countries today, including the United States, are concerned with environmental issues caused by fossil-fuel-generated power. Gallup surveys find public acceptance of climate change is rising. The number of Americans that the organization terms “concerned believers” on climate change has risen from 37% in 2015 to 47% in 2016 and to 50% in the spring of 2017. NASA has long confirmed the scientific consensus that the Earth’s climate is warming.

The international concern about the harmful effects of climate change led to the negotiation of the Paris Agreement in December 2015 as the culmination of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference. The agreement provides for members to reduce their carbon output as soon as possible and to do their best to keep global warming to no more than two degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. In order to achieve the desired results, there would have to be a worldwide reduction in emissions from fossil fuels and a shift to renewable resources. President Donald Trump has pulled the United States out of the Paris accord, but other Americans are standing with the world to help fight the ‘existential crisis’ of global warming, A coalition of 14 U.S. states, including California and New York, have said they are on track to meet the U.S. target of a 26-28% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025, compared to 2005 level.

In November 2017, the United Nations Climate Conference opened in Bonn, Germany, with the aim of a greater ambition for climate action, as the world body’s weather agency issued a stark warning that 2017 was set to be among the three hottest years on record.

We believe the ongoing concern about environmental issues and the price instability of fossil-fuel prices are motivation for increased commercial interest in OTEC, renewed activity in the commercial sector, and increased interest among communities and agencies that recognize the potential benefits of this technology, including the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of the Interior territories.

In the last four years, several large companies have used their OTEC technology experience to introduce OTEC systems worldwide, supporting the argument that the technology is now at the point where it can be introduced at a commercial level:

●

In June 2014, the French companies, Akuo Energy and DCNS (now Naval Energies), were funded to construct and install a number of OTEC plants adding up to 16 MWs of power generation outside the coastline of Martinique in the Caribbean. This is by far the biggest OTEC project announced to date, and the European Union has allocated €72 million (about $82 million at current exchange rates) for this purpose. DCNS (now Naval Energies) is our teaming partner for potential projects in the Caribbean.

●

Since early 2014, we have been working with several industrialized and developing countries, including U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, The Bahamas, Cayman Islands, and others, and investigating suitable OTEC sites, infrastructural solutions, and funding opportunities.

●

Two nongovernmental organizations promoting OTEC have been created: OTEC Foundation (based in The Netherlands) and OTEC Africa (based in Sweden).

●

New technological advances for larger and more robust deep seawater pipes and more efficient and cost-effective heat exchangers, pumps, and other components have, in our opinion, further improved the economics for OTEC.

●

Many countries, including a large number of Caribbean nations, now have renewable energy standards and are looking at ways to reduce their carbon footprint, decouple the price of electricity from the volatile price of oil, and increase energy security. Along with these countries, we are aware that Hawaii, U.S. territories, and the U.S. Department of Defense are looking at OTEC as a possible source of renewable energy and water for drinking, fish farming, and agriculture.

●

The NELHA demonstration OTEC plant in Hawaii is producing 100 kilowatts of sustainable, continuous electricity annually and is powering a neighborhood of 120 homes. A potential next phase for OTEC development at NELHA is being considered by an international consortium under 2010 Okinawa-Hawaii clean energy agreement, which was extended in 2015.

●

BARDOT Group, a French SME specialized in subsea engineering and equipment manufacturing for offshore energy, stated it has signed a contract for the first commercial OTEC system to be installed in an eco-resort in Maldives.

Global acceptance of man’s influence on climate change may also contribute to a shift in the demand for OTEC. As evidenced by the Paris Agreement reached in December 2015 to combat climate change, 195 nations have expressly recognized that conventional fossil-fuel powered energy technologies affect global climate change and the need to embrace a sustainable future in energy and water. Low-lying coastal countries (sometimes referred to as small island developing states) that tend to share similar sustainable development challenges, including small but growing populations, limited resources, remoteness, susceptibility to natural disasters, vulnerability to external shocks, excessive dependence on international trade, and fragile environments, have embraced this recognition and are keenly aware that they are on the frontline of early impact of sea level rise and are aggressively trying to embrace sustainable-energy alternatives. This is a major driving force for OTEC in primary early markets.

Recent international political instability in fossil-fuel-producing regions and oil price volatility have exposed the criticality of energy security and independence for all countries. The need to have a tighter control of domestic energy requirements is a matter of increasing international concern. Continued reliance on other countries (particularly those in oil-producing regions) is not a favorable option any longer. We believe these considerations will continue to drive renewable research and commercialization efforts that benefit technologies with global potential to replace fossil-fuel-based energy systems and benefit from base-load capabilities like OTEC.

Our current management team has led the development of the business since 2010 and has established a pipeline of potential projects, which include one signed 20-year energy services agreement, six signed memoranda of understanding, and a written agreement to support Lockheed Martin Corporation in proposing to the U.S. Navy a SWAC/LWAC system for a military base in the Indian Ocean. The projects under these agreements included the designs for OTEC, SWAC/LWAC, or a combination of both plants in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Bahamas, an island in the Indian Ocean, and in East Africa. The Public Services Commission of the U.S. Virgin Islands has approved our application to be a “qualified facility” and build a 15MW OTEC plant on the island of St. Croix. In addition to the OTEC plant, we are negotiating additional opportunities to supply potable water to the U.S. Virgin Islands government.

Discussions are ongoing with Lockheed Martin Corporation to continue our relationship with it for the SWAC/LWAC project for the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of the Navy. We are discussing both OTEC and SWAC/LWAC projects with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Secretary of Commerce for Puerto Rico. Currently, two projects are in the planning and discussion phase:

●

EcoVillage powered by an OTEC plant for Puerto Rico; and

●

Eco Village powered by an OTEC plant for the U.S. Virgin Islands.

We have provided a detailed study and designs for OTEC and/or SWAC/LWAC to:

●

Lockheed Martin Corporation for an SWAC/LWAC system to be built for the U.S. Navy Base in Diego Garcia. We completed our preliminary assessment and in early 2018, we briefed the preliminary assessment to the U.S. Navy at a design charrette meeting.

●

The U.S. Department of Agriculture for a combined OTEC/SWAC/LWAC plant for Guam.

●

The Legislature of the U.S. Virgin Islands for an OTEC plant for the island of St. Croix.

Having successfully developed this pipeline of opportunities, we believe that it is now appropriate to seek additional funding to further progress and build up our engineering and technical teams, further develop our intellectual property, file patents for several OTEC technical systems, and advance our pipeline of current opportunities to support our growth strategy.

Our Competition

We compete in the development, construction, and operation of OTEC and SWAC/LWAC plants with other operators that develop similar facilities powered by other energy sources, primarily oil, natural gas, nuclear energy, and solar power. These traditional energy sources have well-established infrastructures for production, delivery, and supply, with well-known commercial terms. In developing our OTEC and SWAC /LWAC plants, we will need to satisfy our customers that these technologies are sound and economical, which may be a challenge until and unless we have an established successful operating history. The energy industry is dominated by an array of companies of all sizes that have proven technologies and well-established fuel sources from a number of suppliers.

We expect that we will encounter increasing competition for OTEC and SWAC /LWAC plants. Other firms with greater financial and technical resources are focusing commercialization of these technologies. This includes, for example, Akuo Energy and DCNS (now Naval Energies ) and Bardot Energy of Paris, France. Our competitors may benefit from collaborative relationships with countries, including a large number of Caribbean nations that now have renewable-energy standards and are looking at ways to reduce their carbon footprint, decouple the price of electricity from the volatile price of oil, and increase energy security. Other competitors may have advantageous relationships with authorities such as Hawaii, U.S. territories, and the U.S. Department of Defense, which are looking at OTEC as a possible source of renewable energy and water for drinking, fish farming, and agriculture.

We cannot assure that we will be able to compete effectively as the industry grows and becomes more established and as OTEC and SWAC/LWAC plants become more accepted as viable and economic energy solutions.

We believe competition in this industry is and will be based on technical soundness and viability, the economics of plant outputs as compared to other energy sources, developmental reputation and expertise, financial capability, and ability to develop relationships with potential customers. All of these factors are outside our control.

Our Operational Strategy and Economic Models

We have developed economic models of costs and potential revenue structures that we will seek to implement as we develop OTEC and SWAC/LWAC projects.

OTEC Projects

The estimated construction costs for a 20-MW plant are approximately $445 million. The hard costs of approximately $301 million consist of the power system and platform construction and piping, which make up 68% of the total. The remaining 32% consists of other construction costs and the deployment of the cold water pipe and soft costs of approximately $58 million for design, permits and licensing, environmental impact assessment, bathymetry, contractor fees, and insurance.

Once operational, the capacity factor, which is the projected percent of time that a power system will be fully operational, considering maintenance, inspections, and estimated unforeseen events, is expected to be 95% annually. This factor is used in our financial calculations, which means the plant will not be generating revenue for 5% of the year. Most fossil-fuel plants have capacity factors around 90%, as a result of the major maintenance for high-temperature boilers, fossil-fuel feed in systems, safety inspections, cleaning, etc. The normal maintenance cycle for the pumps, turbine, and generators used in the OTEC plant is typically every five years. This includes the cleaning of the heat exchangers and installation of new seals.

We anticipate that project returns will be comprised of two components: First, as the project developer, we will seek a lump-sum payment as a development fee at the time of closing the project financing for each project. These payments will be allocated toward reimbursement of development costs and perhaps a financial return at the early stage of each project. The development fee will vary, but initially we will seek a fee of approximately 3% of the project cost, payable upon closing project financing. Second, we will retain a percentage of equity in the project, with a goal to retain a minimum of 51% of the equity in any OTEC project in order to participate in operating revenues.

We will seek to generate revenue from OTEC plants from contract pricing charged on an energy-only price per kWh or on the basis of a generating capacity payment priced per kilowatt per month and an energy usage price per kWh. In many of the countries of the world where we intend to build OTEC and SWAC/LWAC plants, water is in short supply. In some locations, water is considered the more important commodity. Depending on the part of the world in which the plant is built, in addition to revenue from power generation, supplying water for drinking, fish farming, and agriculture would significantly increase plant revenue.

We cannot assure that we can maintain the revenue points noted above, that any fees received will offset development costs incurred to date, or that any operating plant will generate revenue.

SWAC/LWAC Projects

The estimated construction costs are approximately $150 million. The hard costs of approximately $91 million consist of piping and installation, which make up 60% of the total. The remaining 40% consists of the pump house, central utility plant (CUP), mechanical and engineering equipment, design, and other contingency costs and soft costs of approximately $30 million consist of the CUP license, permits, environmental impact assessment, bathymetry, and insurance.

Under our economic model, we will seek to generate revenue at two stages of the project. First, as the project developer, we will seek a lump-sum payment of a development fee equal to approximately 3% of the project cost at the time of closing the project financing for each project. These payments would provide us with income at the early stage of each project. If we are able to negotiate a development fee, we estimate that it will vary, but typically will be in the $2,500,000-$3,500,000 range. The second component of project returns is based upon the percentage of equity we will retain in the project.

SWAC/LWAC contract revenue will be based typically on three charges:

●

Fixed Price–this is based upon the capital costs of the project paid over the term of the debt and with the intention of covering the costs of debt.

●

Operation and Maintenance–this payment covers the cost of the labor and fixed overhead needed to run the SWAC/LWAC system, as well as any traditional chiller plant operating to fulfill back-up or peak-load requirements.

●

Chilled Water Payment–this is a variable charge based on the actual chilled water use and chilled water generated both by the SWAC/LWAC and conventional system at the agreed upon conversion factors of kilowatt/ton and current electricity costs in U.S. dollars per kWh.

We will seek to structure project financing with the goal of retaining 100% of the equity in any SWAC/LWAC project. We cannot assure that we will recover project development costs or realize a financial return over the life of the project.

Our Project Timeline

We have not developed, designed, constructed, and placed into operation any OTEC or SWAC plants. However, based on our planning process and early development experience to date, we estimate that it will take approximately two to four years or more, depending on local conditions, including regulatory and permitting requirements, to take a project from a preliminary memorandum of understanding with a potential power or other product purchaser to completion and commencement of operation.

Our Strategic Relationships

We have strategic relationships with each of the following parties for potential plant construction, design and architectural services, and the funding of projects.

●

DCO Energy, LLC, Mays Landing, New Jersey, is an American energy development company specializing in the development, engineering, construction, start-up, commissioning, operation, maintenance and management, as well as ownership of central energy centers, renewable energy projects, and combined heat, chilling, and power-production facilities. DCO Energy was formed in 2000 and has independently developed and/or operated energy producing facilities of approximately 275 MW of electric, 400 MMBtu/hr of heat recovery, 1,500 MMBtu/hr of boiler capacity, and 130,000 tons of chilled water capacity, totaling over $1 billion of assets. DCO Energy provides financing, engineering and design, construction management, start-up and commissioning resources, and long-term operating and maintenance services for its own projects as well as third-party clients.

●

Naval Energies (f/k/a DCNS) Paris, France, is a French naval defense company and one of Europe’s largest ship builders. It employs 12,500 people and generates annual revenues of around $3.9 billion. In 2009, Naval Energies set up an incubator dedicated to marine renewable energies and has stated its intention to be a leader in this market, which includes marine turbines, floating wind turbines, OTEC, and tidal stream turbines.

●

The Sky Institute for the Future seeks to implement pragmatic and sustainable strategies in design, energy, town planning, and agricultural production, and to create and incubate transformational ideas that will nourish healthy communities and educate current and future generations.

Our Construction and Components

Once we have designed the system, we will review the design with our engineering, procurement, and construction partner to maximize the chances that the project can be delivered according to plan and on budget. We expect our construction contracts to be at a fixed price and to include penalties if the construction timetable is missed. We may, but are not obligated to, engage DCO Energy to construct our plants or serve as our owners’ engineer.

In our systems, the two most important components are heat exchangers and deep-water intake pipes. Although there are multiple providers of each of these components, the supply of the best components comes from just a few companies globally. We expect to source our deep-water intake pipes from Pipelife of Norway, the only company we know of that makes pipes of sufficient quality, strength, and diameter (2.5 meters) to support our planned OTEC plants. However, we expect that we could work around a lack of supply from Pipelife by using multiple smaller pipes that are widely available on the market, although this would increase our construction costs.

We will also need the highest quality, large heat exchangers for our systems; heat exchangers represent a large percentage of the projected costs of our OTEC and SWAC/LWAC systems and also account for a significant portion of the design complexity inherent in commercial OTEC and SWAC/LWAC designs. Our relationship with Alfa Laval for heat exchangers provides us with the size and quality heat exchangers that we expect to need, although we believe there are several other companies that could provide us with adequate supply of these devices meeting our specifications if we need to source from them.

Other major components, such as ammonia turbines, generators, and pumps, are manufactured by several multinational companies, including General Electric and Siemens.

Our Operations

For OTEC electricity-generating facilities, we intend to enter into 20- to 30-year power purchase agreements, or PPAs, pursuant to which the project would supply fixed-price, baseload electricity to satisfy the minimum demand of the purchaser’s customers. This PPA structure allows customers to plan and budget their energy costs over the life of the contract. For our SWAC/LWAC systems, we intend to enter into 20- to 30-year energy service agreements, or ESAs, to supply minimum quantities of chilled water for use in a customer’s air conditioning system.

We anticipate that operations of OTEC and SWAC/LWAC plants will be subcontracted to third parties that will take responsibility for ensuring the efficient operation of the plants. These arrangements may reduce our exposure to operational risk, although they may reduce our financial return if actual operating costs are less than the subcontract payments. We cannot assure that any OTEC and SWAC/LWAC plants will permit the PPAs and ESAs to yield minimum target internal rates of return. Our first projects are likely to have lower returns than subsequent projects. Variances in internal rates of return may occur due to a range of factors, including availability and structure of project financing and localized issues such as taxes, some of which may be outside of our control.

We expect our OTEC contract pricing will be charged either on an energy-only price per kWh or on the basis of a capacity payment priced per kilowatt per month and an energy usage price per kWh. We cannot assure that this pricing will enable us to recoup our funding costs and capital repayments and allow us to earn a profit.

Marketing Strategies

Our marketing and sales efforts are managed and directed by our chairman and chief executive officer, Jeremy P. Feakins, who has 35 years’ experience of senior-level sales in both commercial and governmental markets. Our marketing campaign has focused on explaining to potential customers the economic, environmental, and other benefits of OTEC and SWAC/LWAC through personal contacts, industry interactions, and our website.

Our target markets are comprised of large institutional customers that typically include governments, utilities, large resorts, hospitals, educational institutions, and municipalities. We market to them directly through personal meetings and contact by our chief executive officer and other key members of our team. We also make extensive use of centers of influence either to heighten awareness of our products in the minds of key customers’ decision-makers or to secure face-to-face meetings and preliminary agreements between our customers and our chief executive officer.

Sales cycles in our business are extremely long and complex and often involve multiple meetings with governmental, regulatory, electric utility, and corporate entities. Therefore, we cannot predict when or if any of the projects we currently have under development will progress to the signed contract or operational phase and generate revenue. We do not expect sales to be seasonal or cyclical.

Material Regulation

Our business and products are subject to material regulation. However, because we contemplate offering our products and services in different countries, the specific nature of the regulatory requirements will be wholly dependent on the nation where the project will be located and the national, state, and local regulations that apply at that location.

In all cases, we expect the level of regulation will be material and will require significant permitting and ongoing compliance during the life of the project. The most significant regulations will likely be environmental and will include mitigating possible adverse effects during both the construction and operational phases of the project.

However, we believe that the limited plant site disturbance of both SWAC/LWAC and OTEC projects, together with the significantly lower emissions that result from these projects as compared to fossil-fuel electrical generation, will make compliance with all such regulation manageable in the normal course.

The second most significant regulations will likely involve coordination with existing infrastructure. We believe compliance with this type of regulation is a routine civil engineering coordination process that exists for all new buildings and infrastructure projects of all types. Again, we believe that the design of both SWAC/LWAC and OTEC projects can readily be modified to avoid interference with existing infrastructure in most cases.

Facilities

Our principal executive offices are located at 800 South Queen Street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania 17603. Our telephone number at that address is (717) 299-1344.

Intellectual Property

We use, or intend to employ in the performance of our material contracts, intellectual property rights in relation to the design and development of OTEC plants. Our intellectual property rights can be categorized broadly as proprietary know-how, technical databases, and trade secrets comprising concept designs, plant design, and economic models. Additionally, we have applied to register the trademark TOO DEEP® at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the provision of desalinated deep ocean water for consumption. The trademark has been “published for opposition” as of February 12, 2019.

We may apply for patents for components of our intellectual property for OTEC and SWAC/LWAC systems, including novel or new methodologies for cold-water piping, heat exchanges, and computer-aided design programs. We cannot assure that any patents we seek will be granted.

Our intellectual property has been developed by our employees and is protected under employee agreements confirming that the rights in the inventions and developments made by the employees are our property. Confidential information is protected by nondisclosure agreements we entered into with prospective partners or other third parties with which we do business.

We have not received any notification from third parties that our processes or designs infringe any third-party rights, and we are not aware of any valid and enforceable third-party intellectual property rights that infringe our intellectual property rights. Currently, there is no patent for any company for OTEC technology.

Employees

We currently have five employees, consisting of one officer, three engineers/technicians, and one general and administrative employee, and three consultants. There are no collective-bargaining agreements with our employees, and we have not experienced work interruptions or strikes. We believe our relationship with employees is good, and we provide health and life insurance for all employees.

L EGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and regulatory proceedings arising from operations. We establish reserves for specific liabilities in connection with legal actions that management deems to be probable and estimable.

On May 4, 2018, we reached a settlement of the claims at issue in Ocean Thermal Energy Corp. v. Robert Coe, et al. , Case No. 2:17-cv-02343SHL-cgc, before the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. On August 8, 2018, an $8 million judgment was entered against the defendants and in our favor. We have reason to believe the defendants have adequate assets to satisfy this judgment in full. Between May 30 and July 19, 2018, we received three payments totaling $100,000 from the defendants. This process is ongoing. Information will be updated as it progresses.

M ANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating results together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans, and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this prospectus. Our fiscal quarters end on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, and our current fiscal year ended on December 31, 2018.

Overview

We develop projects for renewable power generation, desalinated water production, and air conditioning using our proprietary technologies designed to extract energy from the temperature differences between warm surface water and cold deep water. In addition, our projects provide ancillary products such as potable/bottle water and high-profit aquaculture, mariculture, and agriculture opportunities.

We currently have no source of revenue, so as we continue to incur costs we are dependent on external funding in order to continue. We cannot assure that such funding will be available or, if available, can be obtained on acceptable or favorable terms.

Our operating expenses consist principally of expenses associated with the development of our projects until we determine that a particular project is feasible. Salaries and wages consist primarily of employee salaries and wages, payroll taxes, and health insurance. Our professional fees are related to consulting, engineering, legal, investor relations, outside accounting, and auditing expenses. General and administrative expenses include travel, insurance, rent, marketing, and miscellaneous office expenses. The interest expense includes interest and discounts related to our loans and notes payable.

Description of Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for accounting, administration, finance, human resources, and information systems. Professional fees expenses consist primarily of fees related to legal, outside accounting, auditing, and investor relations services.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

We had no revenue in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we had salaries and wages of $1,361,706, compared to salaries and wages of $2,044,882 during the same period for 2017, a decrease of 33.4%, which is attributable to a reduction in staff because of cost-cutting measures due to our lack of revenue and funding.

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded professional fees of $1,201,956 and $1,669,202, respectively, a decrease of 28% year over year, which is attributable to a decrease in the use of outside consultants due to our lack of revenue and funding.

General and administrative expenses were $595,306 during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $2,169,577 for the same period in 2017, a decrease of 72.6%. This decrease was the result of a concerted effort to reduce all expenses during 2018. In 2017, we incurred additional travel expenses for due diligence on a potential acquisition and increased marketing expense to increase our visibility.

Our interest expense was $1,281,134 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $614,749 for the same period of the previous year, an increase of 108%. In addition to interest of $810,455 on our notes payable, we also incurred liquidated damages of $56,250 on the replacement of one of our notes and a note default penalty of $414,429.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we repriced warrants to purchase 14,692,500 shares of common stock and options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to $0. The warrants and options were then exercised, and we issued 14,792,500 shares of common stock. These warrants had a fair value of $6,769,562, which we recognized as an expense in operations. There was no similar activity in 2018.

Our amortization of debt discount and loan fee expenses was $1,160,983 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $44,960 for the same period of the previous year. This increase is due to our payments of original discount fees and transaction fees for L2 Capital, LLC and Collier Investments, LLC. The expense also reflects the fair value of warrants issued with notes payable and recorded as discount, which we amortized during the year. In addition, there was change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $1,206,857 during the year ended December 31, 2018, and $0 for the same period in 2017. We incurred a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $279,432 in 2018, as compared to a loss on settlement of debt $1,105,203 in 2017.

Our operations used net cash of $1,638,582 during the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to using net cash of $1,469,169 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The change was primarily due to the $1,206,857 of change in the derivative liability in 2018. The recognition of the impairment of assets under construction of $892,639 also impacted the cash flow in 2018.

Investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, used cash of $0 and $140,613, respectively. Of cash used in the year of 2017, $95,352 was an increase in our assets under construction and the balance represents cash paid in connection with the Merger.

Financing activities provided cash of $1,221,965 for our operations during the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $2,027,302, a decrease of 39.7%. One of the major factors was the decrease in proceeds of approximately $748,535 from warrants that were exercised in 2017. In 2018, we received $165,885 in cash for the sale of stock and received $615,086 in cash from the issuance of convertible notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2018, our principal source of liquidity consisted of $8,398 of cash, as compared to $425,015 of cash at December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2018, we had negative working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $17,601,515. In addition, our stockholders’ deficiency was $17,769,177 at December 31, 2018, compared to stockholders’ deficiency of $10,509,554 at December 31, 2017, an increase in the deficiency of $7,259,623. We are now focusing our efforts on promoting and marketing our technology by developing and executing contracts. We are exploring external funding alternatives, as our current cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months.

On May 4, 2018, we reached a settlement of the claims at issue in Ocean Thermal Energy Corp. v. Robert Coe, et al., Case No. 2:17-cv-02343SHL-cgc, before the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. On August 8, 2018, an $8 million federal court judgment was entered against the defendants and in our favor. We believe the defendants have adequate assets to satisfy this judgment in full. Between May 30 and July 19, 2018, we received three payments totaling $100,000 from the defendants. This process is ongoing.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit. Our ability to continue our operations as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. We will require additional funding to finance the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives. If we are unable to access the equity line pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement of December 2017 with L2 Capital, LLC, we believe our current available cash may be insufficient to meet our cash needs for the near future. We cannot assure that the L2 Capital equity line or other financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all. Further, we cannot assure that we will be able to collect all or any portion of our judgment against third parties as discussed above. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We have no significant contractual obligations or commercial commitments not reflected on our balance sheet as of this date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Note that our preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We cannot assure that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2018. The adoption of the ASU did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on the amount of operating loss carry-forwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.

Capitalization Policy

Furniture, vehicles, equipment, and software are recorded at cost and include major expenditures, which increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives. Maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements are charged to expenses when incurred. When furniture, vehicles, and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. The cost of furniture, vehicles, equipment, and software is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Assets under construction represent costs incurred by us for our renewable energy systems currently in process. We capitalize costs incurred once the project has met the project feasibility stage. Costs include environmental engineering, permits, government approval costs, and site engineering costs. We currently have several projects in the development stage. We capitalize direct interest costs associated with the projects.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This ASU relates to the accounting for nonemployee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers . The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the good or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of Topic 606. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Based on that review, we believe that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on current or future earnings or operations.

D ISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation and bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding because of his position as such, to the fullest extent authorized by the corporation laws of the state of Nevada, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding.

To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of our company in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by any of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of that issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of:

Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $7,880,013, a working capital deficiency of $17,601,515, and an accumulated deficit of $75,583,231. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS TETRIDYN SOLUTIONS, INC.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND DECEMBER 31, 2017

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation is currently in the businesses of:

●

OTEC and SWAC/LWAC —designing ocean thermal energy conversion (“OTEC”) power plants and seawater air conditioning (“SWAC/LWAC”) plants for large commercial properties, utilities, and municipalities. These technologies provide practical solutions to mankind’s three oldest and most fundamental needs: clean drinking water, plentiful food, and sustainable, affordable energy without the use of fossil fuels. OTEC is a clean technology that continuously extracts energy from the temperature difference between warm surface ocean water and cold deep seawater. In addition to producing electricity, some of the seawater running through an OTEC plant can be efficiently desalinated using the power generated by the OTEC technology, producing thousands of cubic meters of fresh water every day for use in agriculture and human consumption in the communities served by its plants. This cold, deep, nutrient-rich water can also be used to cool buildings (SWAC/LWAC) and for fish farming/aquaculture. In short, it is a technology with many benefits, and its versatility makes OTEC unique.

●

EcoVillages — developing and commercializing our EcoVillages, as well as working to develop or acquire new complementary assets. EcoVillages are communities whose goal is to become more socially, economically, and ecologically sustainable. EcoVillages are communities whose inhabitants seek to live according to ecological principles, causing as little impact on the environment as possible. We expect that our EcoVillage communities will range from a population of 50 to 150 individuals, although some may be smaller. We may also form larger EcoVillages, of up to 2,000 individuals, as networks of smaller subcommunities. We expect that our EcoVillages will grow by the addition of individuals, families, or other small groups.

We expect to use our technology in the development of our EcoVillages, which should add significant value to our existing line of business .

On May 9, 2017, TetriDyn Solutions, Inc. (“TDYS”) acquired Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (“OTE”) in a merger (the “Merger”), in which outstanding securities of OTE were converted into securities of TDYS, which changed its name to Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation. For accounting purposes, this transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and has been treated as a recapitalization of TDYS with OTE as the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer became the financial statements of the company. We did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. The 110,273,767 shares issued to the shareholders of the accounting acquirer in conjunction with the share exchange transaction have been presented as outstanding for all periods. The historical financial statements include the operations of the accounting acquirer for all periods presented and the accounting acquiree for the period from May 9, 2017, through December 31, 2017. Our accounting year end is December 31, which was the year-end of the accounting acquirer.

On May 25, 2017, we received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) to change the trading symbol for our common stock to “CPWR,” pronounced “sea power” to reflect our core technology, from “TDYS.” Our common stock began formally trading under the symbol “CPWR” on June 21, 2017.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature necessary for presentation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

F-7

OTE HC Ltd.	Caymans	Dormant	03/26/2013

Ocean Thermal Energy USVI, Inc.	Virgin Islands	Dormant	07/12/2016

We have an effective interest of 100% in each of our subsidiaries.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in valuing equity investments and issuances, valuation of deferred tax assets, and depreciable lives of property and equipment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had no cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Jobs Act”) was enacted. The Jobs Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax law by lowering the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

F-8

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards may be substantially limited due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50.0% of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups.

We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since we became a “loss corporation” under the definition of Section 382. If we have experienced an ownership change, utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code, which is determined by first multiplying the value of our stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Further, until a study is completed and any limitation known, no positions related to limitations are being considered as an uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax benefit. Any carryforwards that expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, it is not expected that any possible limitation will have an impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Business Segments

We conduct operations in various foreign jurisdictions where we are developing projects to use our technology. Our segments were based on the location of these projects. The U.S. territories segment consists of projects in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam; and the other segment currently consists of projects in the Cayman Islands. Direct revenues and costs, depreciation, depletion, and amortization costs, general and administrative costs, and other income directly associated with their respective segments are detailed within the following discussion. Identifiable net property and equipment are reported by business segment for management reporting and reportable business segment disclosure purposes. Current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and long-term debt are not allocated to business segments for management reporting or business segment disclosure purposes.

Reportable business segment information is as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2018, $892,639 of Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands assets under construction were considered to be impaired due to the uncertainty of the project and were written off.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the U.S. territories are comprised of U.S. Virgin Islands project (approx. $728,000) and Guam project (approx. $165,000). Other territories are comprised of Cayman Islands project); however, during the year ended December 31, 2017, $48,998 of Cayman Islands assets under construction was considered to be impaired due to the uncertainty of the project and were written off. The additions to assets under construction in 2017 were primarily salaries and consulting services.

Property and Equipment

Furniture, equipment, and software are recorded at cost and include major expenditures that increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives.

Maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements are charged to expenses when incurred. When furniture, vehicles, or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

Assets under construction represent costs incurred by us for our renewable energy systems currently in process. Generally, all costs incurred during the development stage of our projects are capitalized and tracked on an individual project basis and are included in construction in progress until the project has been placed into service. If a project is abandoned, the associated costs that have been capitalized are charged to expense in the year of abandonment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Interest costs incurred during the construction period of defined major projects from debt that is specifically incurred for those projects are capitalized.

Direct labor costs incurred for specific major projects expected to have long-term benefits are capitalized. Direct labor costs subject to capitalization include employee salaries, as well as related payroll taxes and benefits. With respect to the allocation of salaries to projects, salaries are allocated based on the percentage of hours that our key managers, engineers, and scientists work on each project. These individuals track their time worked at each project. Major projects are generally defined as projects expected to exceed $500,000. Direct labor includes all of the time incurred by employees directly involved with construction and development activities. Time spent in general and indirect management and in evaluating the feasibility of potential projects is expensed when incurred.

We capitalize costs incurred once the project has met the project feasibility stage. Costs include environmental engineering, permits, government approval, and site engineering costs. We currently have several EcoVillage projects in the development stage. We capitalize direct interest costs associated with the projects. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we have no interest costs capitalized for any of these projects.

The cost of furniture, vehicles, equipment, and software is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

F-10

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives and accumulated depreciation for land, buildings, furniture, vehicles, equipment, and software are as follows:

Fair Value

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:

●

Level 1–Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

●

Level 2–Pricing inputs are quoted for similar assets or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes assets or liabilities valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these investments.

●

Level 3–Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets or liabilities; that is, the inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Management believes the carrying amounts of the short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, deferred compensation, and other liabilities reflected in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value at December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

We account for derivative liability at fair value on a recurring basis under level 3 at December 31, 2018 (see Note 5).

Concentrations

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are deposited with major financial institutions, and at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC-insured limits. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, $0 and $179,855, respectively, were deposited in excess of FDIC-insured limits. Management believes the risk in these situations to be minimal.

Loss per Share

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing our net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing our net loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. We have 350,073 and 134,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and 47,046,431 and 7,056,721 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is antidilutive for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

F-11

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2018. The adoption of the ASU did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers . The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the goods or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of Topic 606. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we had a net loss of $7,880,013 and used cash of $1,638,582 in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018. We had a working capital deficiency of $17,601,515 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $17,769,177 as of December 31, 2018. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to increase sales and obtain external funding for our projects under development. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Consolidated Note was assigned to JPF Venture Group, Inc., an investment entity that is majority-owned by Jeremy Feakins, our director, chief executive officer, and chief financial officer. The Consolidated Note was convertible to common stock at $0.025 per share, the approximate market price of our common stock as of the date of the issuance. On February 24, 2017, the Consolidated Note was amended to eliminate the conversion feature. The Consolidated Note bears interest at 6% per annum and is due and payable within 90 days after demand.

As of December 31, 2018, we have recorded a debt discount of $75,000 for the fair value derivative liability and fully amortized the debt discount.

The terms of the note are as follows: (i) interest is payable at 6% per annum; (ii) the note is payable 90 days after demand; and (iii) the payee is authorized to convert part or all of the note balance and accrued interest, if any, into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share for each $0.03 of principal amount of the note. This conversion share price was adjusted to $0.01384 for the reverse stock splits. As of September 5, 2017, the note holder converted the note principal of $25,000 into 1,806,298 shares common stock. As of December 31, 2018, there was an outstanding balance of accrued interest of $904.

During 2012, we issued a note payable for $1,000,000 and three-year warrants to purchase 3,295,761 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The note had an interest rate of 10% per annum, was secured by a first lien in all of our assets, and was due on February 3, 2015. We determined the warrants had a fair value of $378,500 based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value was recorded as a discount on the note payable and was being amortized over the life of the note. We repriced the warrants during 2013 and took an additional charge to earnings of $1,269,380 related to the repricing. The warrants were exercised upon the repricing. On March 6, 2018, the note was amended to extend the due date to December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance was $1,000,000, plus accrued interest of $636,948. This note is in default.

During 2013, we issued Series B units. Each unit is comprised of a note agreement, a $50,000 promissory note that matures on September 30, 2023, and bears interest at 10% per annum payable annually in arrears, a security agreement, and a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price to be determined pursuant to a specified formula and expires on September 30, 2023. During 2013, we issued $525,000 of 10% promissory notes and warrants to purchase 105,000 shares of common stock. We determined the warrants had a fair value of $60,068 based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As part of our agreement with a proposed external financing source, the board repriced the warrants to $0.00, exercised the warrants, and issued shares of common stock. On August 15, 2017, loans of $316,666 and accrued interest of $120,898 were converted to 437,564 shares at $1.00 per share, which was ratified by a disinterested majority of the board of directors. The shares were recorded at fair value of $1,165,892, which resulted in a loss on settlement of debt of $728,328 on the conversion date. As of December 31, 2018, the loan balance was $158,334 and the accrued interest was $84,947.

During 2013, we issued a note payable for $290,000 in connection with the reverse merger transaction with Broadband Network Affiliates, Inc., or BBNA. We have determined that no further payment of principal or interest on this note should be made because the note holder failed to perform his underlying obligations giving rise to this note. As such, we are confident that if the note holder were to seek legal redress, a court would decide in our favor by either voiding the note or awarding damages sufficient to offset the note value. As of December 31, 2018, the balance outstanding was $130,000, and the accrued interest as of that date was $50,857. This note is in default.

On August 15, 2017, principal of $618,500 and accrued interest of $207,731 were converted to 826,231 shares at $1.00 per share, which was ratified by a disinterested majority of the board of directors. The conversion was recorded at historical cost due to the related-party nature of the transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we repaid $35,000. As of December 31, 2018, the note balance was $1,102,500 and the accrued interest was $511,818. This note is in default.

If the price of our shares on such date is less than $4.00 per share, the note (principal and interest) will be repaid in full. As of December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance for all four notes was $80,000, plus accrued interest of $7,003.

These notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a quarterly basis and are not convertible into shares of our capital stock. The notes are payable within five business days after receipt of gross proceeds of at least $1,500,000 from L2 Capital, LLC, an unaffiliated Kansas limited liability company (“L2 Capital). We may prepay the notes in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, on or before the maturity date of July 30, 2019.

The fair value was recorded as a discount on the notes payable and is being amortized over the life of the notes payable. As of December 31, 2018, we have amortized $51,584 of debt discount. As of December 31, 2018, warrants to purchase 39,000 shares have been exercised (see Note 6), and the debt discount related to the exercised warrants has been fully expensed.

The conversion price is equal to the lesser of 80% multiplied by the price per share paid by the investors in a “qualified financing” (as defined in the note) or $0.20, subject to certain adjustments.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

We measure the fair value of our assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement.

F-18

On August 19, 2018, the note issued to L2 Capital on February 19, 2018, went into default. In accordance with the terms of the note, at any time on or after the occurrence of any event of default, the conversion price per share would adjust to the lesser of $0.50 or 65% multiplied by the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock during the 20-trading-day period ending, in L2 Capital’s sole discretion on each conversion, on either the last complete trading day prior to the conversion date or the conversion date. We identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued. We have determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option should be accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability. We have elected to account for these instruments together with fixed conversion price instruments as derivative liabilities as we cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to determine the fair value of our financial liabilities, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

	Fair value at December 31, 2018	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/liabilities (Level 1)	Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)	Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

Derivative Liability	$ 2,292,254	$ -	$ -	$ 2,292,254

The tables below set forth a summary of changes in fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2018. The tables reflect changes for all financial liabilities at fair value categorized as Level 3 as of December 31, 2018:

	Derivative Liability
Derivative liability as of December 31, 2017	$ -
Fair value at the commitment date for convertible instruments	1,690,124
Change in fair value of derivative liability	759,603
Reclassification to additional paid-in capital for financial instruments that ceased to be a derivative liability	(157,473 )
Derivative liability as of December 31, 2018	$ 2,292,254

	Change in Fair Value
	of Derivative Liability*
Change in fair value of derivative liability at the beginning of year	$ -
Day one gains/(losses) on valuation	441,865
Gains/(losses) from the change in fair value of derivative liability	764,992
Change in fair value of derivative liability at the end of year	$ 1,206,857

_______________

Gains/(losses) related to the revaluation of Level 3 financial liabilities is included in “Change in fair value of derivative liability” in the accompanying consolidated audited statement of operations.

The fair value of the derivative liability was estimated using the income approach and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair values at the commitment and remeasurement dates for our derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions:

	Commitment Date	Remeasurement Date**
Expected dividends	0%	0%
Expected volatility	81% to 503%	87% to 515%
Risk free interest rate	2.05% to 3.07%	2.19% to 2.60%
Expected term (in years)	0.25 to 5.0	0.23 to 4.81

_______________

The fair value at the remeasurement date is equal to the carrying value on the balance sheet.

We calculated the fair value of the options by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: no dividend yield for all the years; expected volatility of 54%; risk-free interest rate of 0.25%; and an expected life of one year. The fair value of the options was $22,440 or $0.2244 per option. These options were fully exercised at $0.00 upon approval by our board of directors during the year ended December 31, 2017.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAX

The Jobs Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax law by lowering the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards may be substantially limited due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Code, as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50.0% of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups.

We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since we became a “loss corporation” under the definition of Section 382. If we have experienced an ownership change, utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code, which is determined by first multiplying the value of our stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Further, until a study is completed, and any limitation known, no positions related to limitations are being considered as an uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax benefit. Any carryforwards that expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, it is not expected that any possible limitation will have an impact on our results of operations or financial position.

A reconciliation of income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 18.9% to the income before provision for income taxes is as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31
	2018	2017
Statutory rate applied to loss before income taxes	$ (2,276,031 )	$ (5,903,355 )
Increase (decrease) in income taxes results from:
Nondeductible permanent differences	806,885	4,446,014
Change in tax rate estimates	-	3,566,781
Change in valuation allowance	1,469,146	(2,109,440 )
Income tax expense (benefit)	$ -	$ -

F-24

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31
	2018	2017
Depreciation and impairment	$ 2,358,860	$ 2,100,958
Operating loss carryforwards	7,917,151	6,705,907
Gross deferred tax assets	10,276,011	8,806,865
Valuation allowance	(10,276,011 )	(8,806,865 )
Net deferred income tax asset	$ -	$ -

We have net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $27,400,000. This loss is allowed to be offset against future income. The tax benefits relating to all timing differences have been fully reserved for in the valuation allowance account due to the substantial losses incurred through December 31, 2018. The change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was an increase (decrease) of $1,469,146 and $(2,109,440), respectively.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

On December 11, 2017, we entered into an equity purchase agreement with L2 Capital, LLC, for up to $15,000,000. As provided in the agreement, we may require L2 Capital to purchase shares of common stock from time to time by delivering a “put” notice to L2 Capital specifying the total number of shares to be purchased. L2 Capital will pay a purchase price equal to 85% of the “market price,” which is defined as the lowest traded price on the OTCQB marketplace during the five consecutive trading days following the “Put Date,” or the date on which the applicable shares are delivered to L2 Capital. The number of shares may not exceed 300% of the average daily trading volume for our common stock during the five trading days preceding the date on which we deliver the applicable put notice. Additionally, such amount may not be lower than $10,000 or higher than $1,000,000. L2 Capital has no obligation to purchase shares under this agreement to the extent that such purchase would cause L2 Capital to own more than 4.99% of our common stock.

Upon the execution of this agreement, we issued 1,714,285 shares of common stock valued at $514,286 as a commitment fee in connection with the agreement. The shares to be issued pursuant to this agreement were covered by a Registration Statement on Form S-1 effective on January 29, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we executed 12 put options for L2 Capital to purchase 2,300,000 shares of common stock.

On June 26, 2017, we entered a nonexclusive finder’s arrangement with Craft Capital Management LLC (“Craft”) in the event that proceeds with a debt or equity transaction or to finance a merger/acquisition or another transaction are arranged by Craft. We have no obligation to consummate any transaction, and we can choose to accept or reject any transaction in our sole and absolute discretion. Upon the successful completion of a placement, we will pay to Craft 8% of the gross proceeds from an equity placement and 3% for a debt placement. In addition, we will issue to Craft, at the time of closing, warrants with an aggregate exercise price equal to 3% of the amount raised. These warrants have a fair value of $13,280 based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The warrants have an exercise price ranging from $0.0425 to $0.25 per share and are exercisable for a period of five years after the closing of the placement. If we, at any time while these warrants are outstanding, sell, grant any option to purchase or sell, grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of common stock, at an effective price per share less than the then-exercise price, then the exercise price will be reduced to equal the lower share price, at the option of Craft. Such adjustment will be made whenever such common stock is issued. We will notify Craft in writing, no later than the trading day following the issuance of any common stock, of the applicable issuance price or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, and other pricing terms. As of December 31, 2018, we have issued to Craft warrants to purchase 125,073 shares of common stock, none of which has been exercised, as a finder’s fee for debt and equity transactions between L2 Capital and us.

F-25

On August 7, 2018, we signed a non-binding letter of intent proposing to acquire a heavy-duty commercial air conditioning company.

We continue to focus our efforts on satisfying the above conditions.

Litigation

Robert Coe, et al. , Case No. 2:17-cv-02343SHL-cgc, before the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. On August 8, 2018, an $8 million judgment was entered against the defendants and in our favor. We have reason to believe the defendants have adequate assets to satisfy this judgment in full. The collection process is ongoing. Between May 30 and July 19, 2018, we received three payments totaling $100,000 from the defendants.

NOTE 9 – CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

On August 14, 2018, we entered into a consulting agreement to pay $40,000 by issuing shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2018, we have not issued the shares and have accrued the amount.

NOTE 10 – EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

On January 1, 2011, we entered into a five-year employment agreement with our chief executive officer, which provides for successive one-year term renewals unless it is expressly cancelled by either party 100 days prior to the end of the term. Under the agreement, our chief executive officer will receive an annual salary of $350,000, a car allowance of $12,000, and company-paid health insurance. The agreement also provides for bonuses equal to one times his annual salary plus 500,000 shares of common stock for each additional project that generates $25 million or more in revenue to us. Our chief executive officer is entitled to receive severance pay in the lesser amount of three years’ salary or 100% of the remaining salary if the remaining term is less than three years.

On June 29, 2017, the board of directors approved extending the employment agreements for the chief executive officer and the senior financial advisor for an additional five years. The salary and other compensation were increased to account for inflation since the original employment agreements were executed and became effective June 30, 2017. These modifications were never reduced to writing.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Nevada law permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers, except for any act of dishonesty. We have provided in our bylaws for the indemnification of our officers and directors against expenses actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding in which they are a party by reason of their status as an officer or director, except in cases of negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty.

Our articles of incorporation limit, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Law, the personal liability of our officers and directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty, except for damages resulting from acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud, a knowing violation of law, or the inappropriate payment of dividends in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes.

The above discussion of our bylaws and Nevada law is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety by such bylaws and applicable Nevada law.

To the extent that our directors and officers are indemnified under the provisions contained in our bylaws, Nevada law, or contractual arrangements against liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Upon the execution of this agreement, we issued 1,714,285 shares of common stock valued at $514,286 as a commitment fee in connection with the agreement. L2 Capital will pay a purchase price equal to 85% of the market price (which is defined as the lowest traded price on the OTCQB Marketplace, as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P.) during the five consecutive trading days including and immediately prior to the “put date,” or the date on which the applicable put notice is delivered to L2 Capital. In order to exercise the put, certain conditions must be met at each put notice date, including: (i) we must have an effective registration statement; (ii) our common stock must be deposit/withdrawal at custodian (“DWAC”) eligible; (iii) the minimum price must exceed $0.01; and (iv) the number of shares to be purchased by L2 Capital may not exceed the number of shares that, when added to the number of shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by L2 Capital, would exceed 4.99% of our shares of common stock outstanding.

In December 2017, we entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued a series of unsecured promissory notes to accredited investors, in the aggregate principal amount of $979,156 and warrants to purchase 262,000 shares of our common stock, as of December 31, 2018. The notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on a quarterly basis and are not convertible into shares of our capital stock. The notes are payable, within five business days after receipt of funds from L2 Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement, in an amount equal to 20% of the total funds received by us from L2 Capital payable on a pro rata basis to all holders of the notes. We may prepay the notes in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, on or before the maturity date of July 30, 2019. The exercise price per share of the warrants is equal to 85% of the closing price of our common stock on the day immediately preceding the exercise of the relevant warrant, subject to adjustment as provided in the warrant. The warrant includes a cashless net exercise provision whereby the holder can elect to receive shares equal to the value of the warrant minus the fair market value of shares being surrendered to pay the exercise price.

On February 15, 2018, we entered into an agreement with L2 Capital for a loan of up to $565,555, together with interest at the rate of 8% per annum, which consists of up to $500,000 to us and a prorated original issuance discount of $55,555 and $10,000 for transactional expenses to L2 Capital. L2 Capital has the right at any time to convert all or any part of the note into fully paid and nonassessable shares of our common stock at the fixed conversion price, which is equal to $0.50 per share; however, at any time on or after the occurrence of any event of default under the note, the conversion price will adjust to the lesser of $0.50 or 65% multiplied by the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock during the 20-trading-day period ending, in L2 Capital’s sole discretion on each conversion, on either the last complete trading day prior to the conversion date or the conversion date. In addition, we also issued warrants to purchase 56,073 shares of common stock in accordance with a nonexclusive finder’s fee arrangement. As of December 31, 2018, we have received five tranches totaling $482,222 with debt issuance cost of $91,222. During the year ended December 31, 2018, L2 Capital converted $114,078 of the note into 4,000,000 shares of common stock at an average conversion price of $0.028 per share. In 2019, it has converted $12,382 of the note into 500,000 shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.025. Total amount of loans converted is $126,460 into 4,500,000 shares of common stock.

On May 22, 2018, we executed a convertible note with Collier Investments, LLC, an unaffiliated California company, in the amount of $281,250 with an interest rate of 12% per annum. The maturity date of the note is the earlier of: (i) seven months after the issuance date; or (ii) the date on which we consummate a capital-raising transaction for $6,000,000 or more primarily from the sale of equity in the company. The note, or any portion of it, can be convertible by the holder into shares of our common stock at any time after the issuance date. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of 80% multiplied by the price per share paid by the investors in a “qualified financing” (as defined in the note) or $0.20, subject to certain adjustments. At any time within a 90-day period following the issuance date, we have the option to prepay 145% of the outstanding balance. There was an original issue discount and transaction fees of $36,250, yielding net proceeds of $245,000 to us. In addition, we paid a finder’s fee of $20,914. On December 14, 2018, L2 Capital LLC purchased our note payable from Collier Investments, LLC. We issued 400,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $21,200 to L2 Capital, LLC as commitment shares in connection with the purchase of the note. To date, L2 Capital has converted $49,614 of the note into 1,800,000 shares of common stock at an average conversion price of $0.028 per share. None of the warrants has been exercised.

II-5

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we issued 673,345 shares of common stock for services performed to unaffiliated parties. There have been no additional shares issued for services in 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, note holders elected to exercise warrants to purchase 39,000 shares of common stock for $9,520 in cash. There have been no additional shares issued for the exercise of warrants to purchase shares in 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we issued warrants to purchase 125,073 shares of common stock to Craft Capital. There have been no additional warrants issued to purchase shares in 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold 2,300,000 of common stock to L2 Capital, LLC for cash per the equity agreement for $135,575 in cash. There have been no additional shares issues for cash in 2019.

Except as otherwise noted, the securities in these transactions were sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving any public offering. Each of the persons acquiring the foregoing securities was an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) and confirmed the foregoing and acknowledged, in writing, that the securities must be acquired and held for investment. All certificates evidencing the shares sold bore a restrictive legend. No underwriter participated in the offer and sale of these securities, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly in connection therewith.

The proceeds from these sales were used for general corporate purposes.

Financial Statement Schedules. All financial statement schedules are omitted because the information called for is not required or is shown either in the financial statements or in the notes thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

II-8

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
