Analysis · CPWR · Energy & Transportation
The company is in severe financial distress. Cash has dwindled to $33,265, working capital deficiency is $57 million, and the auditor's going concern warning is explicit. The board just quadrupled authorized shares to 800 million to enable debt conversions and capital raises, which will massively dilute existing holders. Separately, the CEO took 90% ownership of the subsidiary OCEES in exchange for forgiving $1.1 million of defaulted debt — a related-party transaction that removes a liability but also transfers a key asset away from the parent. The non-cash derivative gain that produced a paper profit masks an operating loss of $971,527.
