1. THE
COMPANY
The
Company
Skye
International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was originally organized on November
23, 1993 as Amexan, Inc. On June 1, 1998, the name was changed to Nostalgia
Motorcars, Inc. On June 11, 2002, the Company changed its name to Elution
Technologies, Inc. It changed its name to Tankless Systems Worldwide, Inc.
on
June 4, 2003 and to Skye International, Inc. on October 21, 2005.
On
November 7, 2003, the Company acquired Envirotech Systems Worldwide, Inc.
(Envirotech), a private Arizona corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary.
Through this merger, the former shareholders of Envirotech acquired a
controlling interest in Tankless Systems Worldwide, Inc. (Tankless) and
accordingly, the Merger is accounted for as a reverse merger with Envirotech
being the accounting acquirer of Tankless. Accordingly, the Financial Statements
present the historic financial position, operations and cash flows of Envirotech
for all periods presented with the December 31, 2003 balance sheet adjusted
to
consolidate and reflect the fair values assigned to the acquisition balance
sheet of Tankless. Refer to Note 4, Acquisition of Subsidiary for additional
information and disclosures related to the merger.
Envirotech
was organized December 9, 1998 and has a limited history of operations. The
initial period of its existence involved research and development of a line
of
electronic, tankless water heaters. The first sales of its products occurred
in
calendar year 2000.
With
the
acquisition of Envirotech, the Company is in the business of designing,
developing, manufacturing and marketing several models of electronic, tankless
water heaters.
During
January 2004 the Company organized ION Tankless, Inc. (Ion) an Arizona
Corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary. ION is organized to do research,
development and marketing of new tankless technologies.
Nature
of Business
The
Company produces and markets tankless electronic water heaters. The company’s
products, together with a limited quantity of related parts purchased for
resale, are sold primarily through Internet and wholesale distributors and
major
retailers in the United States and Canada. Based upon the nature of the
Company’s operations, facilities and management structure, the Company considers
its business to constitute a single segment for financial reporting
purposes.
Basis
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations, financial
position and cash flows of the Company and include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries after elimination of all significant inter-company
transactions in consolidation.
Basis
of Presentation
The
Consolidated Financial Statements of Skye International include all of its
wholly owed subsidiaries.
In
January 2006, the Company withdrew its Chapter 11 filing without prejudice
or
relief from any of its liabilities previously classified as Subject to
Compromise.

1. THE
COMPANY - continued
As
such
the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statement for the six months ended
June
30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 were not prepared in accordance
with Statement of Position 90-7 (“SOP 90-7”), “Financial Reporting by Entities
in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code” (See Note 2) which requires that
all pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise are segregated in the
consolidated balance sheets as of end of the respective years and classified
as
Liabilities Subject to Compromise, at the estimated amount of allowable claims
with liabilities not subject to compromise being separately
classified.
These
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. Accordingly, the financial statements do
not
include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable
to
continue as a going concern. As described more fully below, there is substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern which is
predicated upon, among other things, the ability to generate cash flows from
operations and, when necessary, obtaining financing sources sufficient to
satisfy the Company’s future obligations.
The
accompanying comparative Consolidated Financial Statement for the year ended
December 31, 2005 has been restated to reflect the Company’s withdrawal of its
bankruptcy court petition.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
Below
is
a listing of the most recent accounting standards and their effect on the
Company.
SFAS
123(R) Share-Based
Payment
In
December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”
This statement is a revision to FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,” it supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,” and amends FAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally the
approach in FAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described in FAS
No. 123. However, FAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in
the
income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer
an alternative. This statement also provides guidance on valuing and expensing
these awards, as well as disclosure requirements of these equity
arrangements.
FAS
No. 123R must be adopted for the year ending December 31, 2006. Early
adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not
yet
been issued.
As
permitted by FAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based
payments to employees using the Fair Market Value method and the Company
recognizes compensation cost for employee stock options at fair market Value.
Accordingly, the adoption of FAS No. 123R’s fair value method is expected
to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it is
not expected to have an impact on the Company’s overall financial position.
[However, had the Company adopted FAS No 123R in prior periods using the
Black-Scholes valuation model, the impact of that standard would have
approximated the impact of FAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro
forma net loss and net loss per share in Note 3 to our consolidated financial
statements.]
FAS
No. 123R will also require the benefits of tax deductions in excess of
recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather
than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. The Company
cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend
on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options, and whether
the
Company will be in a taxable position). There is no tax impact related to the
prior periods since we are in a net loss position.

SFAS
149 Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities
This
Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities
under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
SFAS
150 Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity
This
statement requires that such instruments be classified as liabilities in the

or
modified after May 31, 2003.
[FIN
46 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
Interpretation
No. 46 (FIN46 )
In
January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,
which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities ("VIEs"). In December 2003, the FASB completed deliberations of
proposed modifications to FIN 46 (Revised Interpretations) resulting in multiple
effective dates based on the nature as well as the creation date of the VIE.
The
Revised Interpretations must be applied no later than the second quarter of
fiscal year 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 had no impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004.
The
adoption of these new Statements is not expected to have a material effect
on
the Company’s current financial position, results or operations, or cash
flows.
Note
2. SUBSIDIARY’S
PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY
CODE
The
Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Envirotech, filed for reorganization under
Chapter 11, as it offered the most efficient alternative to restructure the
Company’s balance sheet and access new working capital while continuing to sells
its products and work with its parent to explore alternative business objectives
to become financially viable. On August 6, 2004, Envirotech filed a voluntary
petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona
(Case No. 2:04-13908-RTB ) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code as a means to resolve all existing litigation, judgments and efforts to
collect on judgments entered against Envirotech. On December 2004, the Company
filed its proposed plan of reorganization and disclosure statement with the
Bankruptcy Court.
With
the
exception of a guarantee to one critical supplier in the approximate amount
of
$42,500, the Registrant has not assumed any liability for the obligations of
Envirotech. As of the date of the filing of the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition,
Envirotech had liabilities of approximately $1.6 million. Several creditors
not
related to the supply of parts or the assemblies of products have obtained
judgments against Envirotech and were seeking to collect such judgments, and
an
action was pending in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas,
alleging patent infringement. The filing of the Bankruptcy Petition temporarily
stayed all creditors and lawsuits.
AICPA
Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization
under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") provides financial reporting guidance
for entities that are reorganizing under the Bankruptcy Code. The Company
implemented this guidance in the consolidated financial statements for periods
subsequent to September 30, 2004.
Pursuant
to SOP 90-7, companies are required to segregate pre-petition liabilities that
are subject to compromise and report them separately on the balance sheet.
Liabilities that may be affected by a plan of reorganization are recorded at
the
amount of the expected allowed claims, even if they may be settled for lesser
amounts. Obligations arising post-petition, and pre-petition obligations that
are secured are not classified as liabilities subject to
compromise.

PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE -
continued
Additional
pre-petition claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise due to the
rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases, or as a result of the
allowance of contingent or disputed claims.
As
of
December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, Tankless and its subsidiaries
(including Envirotech the “Debtor”) operated their business as
debtors-in-position pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.
In
January 2006, the Company withdrew its Chapter 11 filing without prejudice
or
relief from any of its liabilities previously classified as Subject to

3. SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of
Estimates and Assumptions
The
discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements,
which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires
making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. Critical accounting policies are defined
as
those that entail significant judgments and estimates, and could potentially
result in materially different results under different assumptions and
conditions.
The
accompanying balance sheets as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and
the
related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the
periods ended June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2005 reports the activity of
its
subsidiary Envirotech up to the date of purchase November 7, 2003 and
consolidates the activity of the Company for all reported periods from the
date
of purchase to June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and its subsidiary ION from
inception (January 2004) to June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
The
Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal 2005 contained herein have been
prepared in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code” (“SOP 90-7”). The
Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal 2003 are not prepared in accordance
with SOP 90-7 because the Chapter 11 case was filed in fiscal 2005. See Note
2
to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The amounts reported in subsequent
financial statements will materially change due to the restructuring of the
Company’s assets and liabilities as a result of the Plan and the application of
the provisions of SOP 90-7 with respect to reporting upon emergence from Chapter
11 (“fresh start” accounting). Financial statements for periods subsequent to
the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 will not be comparable with those of
prior periods.
Cash
Equivalent
Cash
and
Cash Equivalents - All highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of six
months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value because
of
the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Financial
instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued
expenses and short-term and long-term convertible debt obligations. Including
promissory notes, and related party liabilities, the fair value of these
financial instruments approximates their carrying amount as of June 30, 2006
and
December 31, 2005 due to the nature of or the short maturity of these
instruments.

Research
and Development
The
Company's research and development efforts concentrate on new product
development, improving product durability and expanding technical expertise
in
the manufacturing process. The Company expenses product research and development
costs as they are incurred. With the organization of its new subsidiary ION,
the
Company continues to expense research and development costs as incurred in
developing additional products based on new technologies.
Marketing
Strategy
The
Company sells directly to individuals through the Internet, through
distributors, and through high volume retailers. The Company periodically
advertises on cable television stations, at trade shows and through trade
magazines and it maintains an extensive website.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company records sales when revenue is earned. The Company usually sells its
units through credit card sales to individuals and normally does not maintain
receivables. However, the Company does sell on credit to distributors. Due
to
the company’s Warranty and Right of Return policy, six percent of the sales are
recognized immediately and the balance is recognized 30 days after shipment
of
the product to the customer. All shipments are FOB shipping point. Sales to
distributorships are sold FOB shipping point with 30-day terms on receivables.
In 2005, substantially all of the Company’s gross revenues of $172,169 were
generated by the Valeo subsidiary.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are recorded when an order is received from a distributor and
shipped. An allowance for doubtful accounts was set up based on the actual
rate
of uncollected accounts. Net accounts receivable is as follows:

resulting from inability of the company’s customers to make the required
payments. The company continues to assess the adequacy of the reserves for
doubtful accounts based on the financial condition of the Company’s customers
and external factors that may impact collectability. As of June 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005 the allowance was $1,283
Advertising
Advertising
expense included the cost of sales brochures, print advertising in trade
publications, displays at trade shows and maintenance of an Internet site.
Advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2006, and June 30, 2005, $38,103 and $813
respectively.
Inventory
The
Company contracts with a third party to manufacture the units and is neither
billed for nor obligated for any work-in-process. The Company only supplies
certain parts and materials and is then billed for completed products. Parts
and
material inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
net
realizable value.

Patents
We
evaluate potential impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with FAS
No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
FAS No. 144 requires that certain long-lived assets be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable based on expected
undiscounted cash flows that result from the use and eventual disposition of
the
asset. The amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the
carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.
Patent
and software costs include direct costs of obtaining patents. Costs for new
patents are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of
seventeen years and software over five years.
Earnings
per Share
The
basic
(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year.
The
Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding at the end of the
statement periods. Therefore, the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share
are presented on the face of the statement of operations. There are 600,000
options at $.55 and 100,000 options at a variable price per share available
at
this time. All outstanding warrants were either exercised or cancelled and
convertible debt is anti-dilutive.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company accounts for its stock based compensation based upon provisions in
SFAS
No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
. In
this statement stock based compensation is divided into two general categories,
based upon who the stock receiver is, namely: employees/directors and
non-employees/directors. The employees/directors category is further divided
based upon the particular stock issuance plan, namely compensatory and
non-compensatory. The employee/directors non-compensatory securities are
recorded at the sales price when the stock is sold. The compensatory stock
is
calculated and recorded at the securities’ fair value at the time the stock is
given. SFAS 123 also provides that stock compensation paid to non-employees
be
recorded with a value which is based upon the fair value of the services
rendered or the value of the stock given, whichever is more reliable. The common
stock paid to non-employees was valued at the value of the services rendered.
Because the Company establishes the exercise price based on the fair market
value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, the options have no intrinsic
value upon grant, and therefore no expense is recorded.
Equity
instruments issued to non-employees for goods or services are accounted for
at
fair value and are marked to market until service is complete or a performance
commitment date is reached.

We
measure stock-based employee compensation based on FASB Statement No. 123r,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, therefore, we establish the price
based
on the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”
This statement is a revision to FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,” and it supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees,” and amends FAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.”
Generally the approach in FAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described
in FAS No. 123. However, FAS No. 123R will require all share-based payments
to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized
in
the income statement based on their fair values.
FAS
No. 123R must be adopted no later than January 1, 2006. We have
adopted FAS No. 123R on January 1, 2005. FAS No. 123R permits
public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods, the
modified prospective or the modified retrospective method. We have chosen to
adopt the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized
beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of FAS
No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and
(b) based on the requirements of FAS No. 123 for all awards granted to
employees before the effective date of FAS No. 123R that remain unvested on
the effective date.
Warranty
and Right of Return
In
connection with the sale of each product, the Company provides a 30-day money
back guarantee less a 6% restocking charge. After the 30 days the Company
provides a five year warranty on replacement of parts. The tank chamber is
warranted not to leak for 20 years. The Company has limited history with claims
against its warranty. The Company defers a portion of the revenue as would
generally be required for post-contract customer support ("PCS") arrangements
under SOP 97-2. Accordingly, the revenue allocated to the warranty portion
of
such sales is deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the warranty.
As
of December 31, 2005 a total of $15,276 in refunds and warranty allowances
were
recorded against Product Sales.

SUBSIDIARY
On
November 7, 2003, the Company acquired Envirotech Systems Worldwide, Inc. a
private Arizona corporation (Envirotech), as a wholly owned subsidiary. On
the
date of purchase the Company had 3,008,078 common shares issued and outstanding.
The purchase was made in a one-for-one stock exchange of 8,366,778 shares of
the
Company’s common stock for all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Envirotech. The Statement of Stockholders’ Equity has been retroactively
restated to reflect the affect of a recapitalization of Envirotech at the time
of purchase.
Note
5. NOTES PAYABLE AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
During
the year December 31, 2005, the Company received $100,000, respectively, through
private placements to accredited investors. The investor received a one-year
debenture with an interest rate of 10% per annum, payable, quarterly.
Additionally, the investor received one (1) share of the Company’s restricted
common stock for each Two Dollar ($2.00) amount of debentures purchased. The
principle and unpaid interest is convertible at the
option of the Company to common stock at the rate of one share of stock for
every One Dollar ($1.00) outstanding at the due date. Rather than enforcing
conversion as provided by the language of the notes the Company made offers
of
conversion to the note holders to accept conversion based on current stock
values (i.e., $0.55) or repayment of the note. During 2005, $515,725 in notes
and accrued interest were converted to common stock.

Stock
Options
In
connection with the acquisition of Envirotech Systems Worldwide, Inc., the

7. INCOME TAXES
The
Company provides for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes
. SFAS
No. 109. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis
of
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which
the differences are expected to reverse. SFAS No. 109 requires current
recognition of net deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely
than
not such net assets will be realized. To the extent that the Company believes
that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance
must be recorded against those assets.
SFAS
No.
109 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance
if,
based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that
some
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s
opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income
in
the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation
allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred
tax asset is calculated by multiplying a 35% estimated tax rate by the
cumulative NOL of $11,187,128. The total valuation allowance is equal to the
total deferred tax asset.

8. LEASES AND OTHER
COMMITMENTS
The
Company leases certain office facilities and equipment under leases with varying
terms. Certain leases contain rent escalation clauses. These rent expenses
are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective term of the lease.
The
lease is a month-to-month lease costing $20,236 per month. The Company has
given
notice that it intends to vacate the premises at the end of August 2006.
Note
9. GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying 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. The Company has incurred net losses since
inception with an accumulated deficit of $11,187,128 as of June 30, 2006. The
Company will probably not generate meaningful revenues in the foreseeable
future. The Company has a working capital deficit of $2,584,398 as of June
30,
2006. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
Listed
below are some of the other factors that contribute to the Company’s assumed
inability to continue as a going concern. Also described are management’s plans
for the future of the Company.
Company’s
Challenges
The
Company has a substantial deficit in retained earnings from losses for the
previous years. Its subsidiary, Envirotech has not been able to generate enough
sales to cover annual expenses and has survived only by raising funds. The
Company must continue to raise funds in the near future to survive. Management
has been successful in the past in raising these funds. There is no assurance
that management can continue to find investors to cover the losses
generated.
Management’s
Plans
Management
feels that industry trends are encouraging. Advertising will likely continue
through the printed media, cable television and the Internet. As new
homebuilders become aware of the product it will be included in original house
plans.
Note
10. PENDING LITIGATION
Seitz
Suit
. In
2002, Envirotech was named as a Defendant in a law suit filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston, Texas (Civil Action
No. H-02-4782, David Seitz and Microtherm, Inc., vs. Envirotech Systems
Worldwide, Inc., and Envirotech of Texas, Inc. (the “Seitz Suit”). The Company
is not affiliated with Envirotech of Texas, Inc. The suit alleges that
Envirotech has infringed upon patent rights of others and seeks damages and
an
order to cease and desist. Management believes the suit is without merit. The
suit was stayed pending the disposition of the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition
filed by Envirotech in August 2004. On September 30, 2005, however, the
Bankruptcy Court allowed the plaintiff to re-open the Seitz Suit and he has
done
so. The suit is in the discovery stage and the Company is vigorously engaged
in
the process. On December 5, 2005, the Houston Court issued an injunction against
Envirotech and its affiliated entities, including Skye, enjoining them from
further marketing, advertising or offering for sale, or accepting any orders
for
(i) the Envirotech ESI 2000 heater, (ii) any other heater, regardless of its
model, using parts of the Model ESI 2000 heater, and (iii) any other heater,
regardless of model number, utilizing in whole any part any technology embodied
in the Model ESI 2000 heater. The Company does not consider this injunction
detrimental to its ongoing business activities, as it had already discontinued
production of the alleged offending product and the new products have been
developed with specific attention to avoiding infringement on any existing
patents of third parties. Trial in the Seitz Suit has been scheduled for
November 2006. At a hearing on May 18, 2006, the
Court
directed that discovery be expanded to include the technology and products
of
Skye, including, specifically the FORTIS™
and
Paradigm™
technologies. Envirotech and Skye intend to aggressively pursue this litigation
to conclusion. On June 28, 2006 counsel for Envirotech withdrew from the action.
As a result, Envirotech is currently seeking new counsel to pursue the
litigation.

Unpaid
Legal Fees
.
Subsequent to December 31, 2003, Envirotech has been named in four separate
lawsuits for unpaid legal and consulting fees totaling $268,000. These include
the Myers and Jenkins Suit and the Sensor Technologies Suit discussed below.
On
May 3, 2004, Envirotech settled one of these suits claiming fees of $112,500.
In
connection with that settlement, Envirotech reimbursed the plaintiff for alleged
out-of-pocket expenses and the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock,
restricted under SEC Rule 144, to the plaintiff on the basis of a loan from
the
Company to Envirotech. The settlement, and any settlements of the other suits,
will be reflected as a charge in the year of the settlement. In two of the
other
three suits judgments have been granted in the aggregate amount of approximately
$155,500, both of which were stayed by the bankruptcy filing discussed above.
The fourth suit is on behalf of a law firm that served as a contract arbitrator
in Envirotech’s dispute with the Distributor noted above. With the dismissal of
the Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company has received notice from the plaintiff
that it intends to resume the suit, which seeks approximately $3,500 in
fees.
Myers
and Jenkins Suit
. On May
24, 2006, Envirotech was served with a Motion for Entry of Default in connection
with an action filed in Arizona Superior Court, case number CV-2006-003671
by
Envirotech’s prior legal counsel, Myers and Jenkins. The motion seeks judgment
for the payment of the principal sum of $103,830, together with interest and
costs. Envirotech has not defended the action.
Sensor
Technologies Suit
. On May
24, 2006, Envirotech was served with an Application for Entry of Default in
connection with an action filed in the Arizona Superior Court, case number
CV-2006-0060632, by Sensor Technologies & Systems, Inc., an engineering firm
that provided engineering consulting services in connection with Envirotech’s
ESI-2000 product. The application seeks judgment for the payment of $72,391,
together with interest and costs. Envirotech has not defended the
action.
Bankruptcy
Proceedings
. As a
result of several claims arising out of decisions by Envirotech’s management
prior to its acquisition by Skye that resulted in a number of lawsuits and
judgments (see above), on August 6, 2004, Envirotech filed a Voluntary Petition
for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in Phoenix,
Arizona. The filing of this Petition with the Bankruptcy Court stayed all
existing litigation, judgments and efforts to collect on the judgments.
Envirotech was acquired by the Company in November 2003 in a stock-for-stock
transaction and has been held and operated by the Company as an operating
subsidiary. With the exception of a guarantee to one critical supplier in the
current amount of approximately $42,500, Skye has not assumed any liability
for
the obligations of Envirotech. As of the date of the filing of the Chapter
11
Bankruptcy Petition, Envirotech had liabilities of approximately $1.6 million.
Several creditors, not related to the supply of parts or the assembly of
products, have obtained judgments against Envirotech and an action was pending
in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, alleging patent
infringement (see above). All claims of creditors, including the above-mentioned
judgments, and efforts to collect same, together with the litigation pending
in
the U.S. District Court in Houston, were stayed during the pendency of the
Bankruptcy Proceedings. Envirotech filed a Disclosure Statement and Plan of
Reorganization on November 7, 2004 and the Court approved its request to submit
the plan to the creditors for approval. The Plan, however, did not receive
approval of the Court and Envirotech subsequently filed a Motion to Dismiss
the
Chapter 11 proceedings which was granted, with prejudice, on February 28, 2006.
As a result of this dismissal, all claims and judgments of creditors of
Envirotech may be renewed.
Shareholder
Inspection Claim .
In April
2006 a shareholder purporting to have obtained consent from at least 15% of
the
Company’s shareholders filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for
the District of Nevada (Case No. 2:06-CV-0541-RLH-GWF) seeking inspection of
the
Company’s books and records pursuant to Nevada corporate law. The Court denied
plaintiff’s initial request. The Company has asserted several counterclaims
against the plaintiff for tortious conduct and for abuse of the legal process
in
connection with the lawsuit. The matter is currently pending.

Shareholder
Derivative Action .
In May
2006 a small group of dissident shareholders (including the plaintiff from
the
Shareholder Inspection Claim) filed a lawsuit in the United States District
Court for the District of Arizona (Case No. CV06-1291-PHX-ROS) as a derivative
action seeking injunctive and declaratory relief. The Company was named only
as
a nominal defendant and there are no claims for monetary damages against the
Company. The primary claims involve the prior issuance of the Company’s common
stock to former consultants to the Company, as well as prior issuances of stock
to certain members of current management. Plaintiffs seek to prevent these
individuals from using their stock and related voting rights to solicit proxies
and notice shareholder meetings, and have demanded that they return the shares
to the Company. The parties have entered into a “standstill” arrangement in
which the parties agreed to refrain from using their stock and voting rights
in
connection with proxy solicitations, shareholder consents, and the noticing
of
special shareholder meetings. The matter is currently pending. In addition
to
the foregoing claims, three of the defendants have demanded that the Company
defend and indemnify them from the plaintiffs’ claims.
Berry-Shino
Claim
. The
Company has on several occasions during the past three years utilized the
services of Berry-Shino Securities, Inc., Scottsdale, Arizona, in raising
various forms of financing to further its business plan and operations. In
the
course of each of these engagements, the Company has paid Berry-Shino various
fees and expenses and has issued a certain number of shares of its Common Stock
to Berry-Shino. The Company has recently received correspondence from
Berry-Shino stating that it believes it is entitled to be issued an additional
456,500 shares of Common Stock as additional consideration for its services.
The
Company is currently reviewing of validity of the entitlement.
Note
11. COMMON STOCK TO BE
GRANTED
On
December 24, 2004 the Company issued 2,250,000 shares of common stock for
$112,500 in anticipation of executing various consulting agreements for services
to be performed in 2005. This transaction was recorded in the 2004 financial
statements as a prepaid expense and subsequently recorded as an operating
expense in the 2005 financial statements.
Note
12. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
Management,
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure
controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e) and
15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this report (the
“Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2004,
our
disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that the
information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit
under
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized
and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms. More specifically, the company identified a material weakness
due to a lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate knowledge in U.S. GAAP
and lack of sufficient analysis and documentation of the application of U.S.
GAAP to transactions, including but not limited to equity transactions. During
the six months ended June 30, 2006, and the year ended December 31, 2005, there
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting for the Company. Management used the framework of conducting
an extensive review of existing documentation and transactions to make that
evaluation. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had a deficiency in internal
controls over the application of current US GAAP principles. Specifically,
an
effective review
of
the Balance Sheet was not performed. As a result of the ineffective review,
errors in the year-end 2004 were not detected prior to the issuance of the
annual 2004 consolidated financial statements. This control deficiency resulted
in the restatement of our annual 2004 consolidated financial statements as
set
forth in Form 10-KSB/A filed June 14, 2006. Management has concluded that this
control deficiency constituted a material weakness that continued throughout
2005.

12. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES - continued
There
were changes in our internal controls implemented during the first quarter
of
2006, including, specifically, a process to review the balance sheet of the
company by persons with significant experience with US GAAP principles.
Additionally, internal controls were adopted to separate accounting tasks within
the company so as to ensure the separation of duties between those persons
who
approve and issue payment from those persons who are responsible to record
and
reconcile such transactions within the Company’s accounting system. Such
internal controls were implemented during the first quarter period ending June
30, 2006, and, accordingly, as of the end of the first quarter 2006, management
found the internal control over financial reporting to be effective, with no
material weaknesses. There were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
internal control over financial reporting.
The
Company’s management is reviewing the Company’s internal controls over financial
reporting to determine the most suitable recognized control framework. The
Company will give great weight and deference to the product of the discussions
of the SEC’s Advisory Committee on Smaller Public Companies (the “Advisory
Committee”) and the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations’ task force entitled
Implementing the COSO Control Framework in Smaller Businesses (the “Task
Force”). Both the Advisory Committee and the Task Force are expected to provide
practical, needed guidance regarding the applicability of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act to small business issuers. The Company’s management intends
to perform the evaluation required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
at
such time as the Company adopts a framework. For the same reason, the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm has not issued an “attestation
report” on the Company management’s assessment of internal
controls.
ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
The

operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005. The
following discussion may be understood more fully by reference to the financial
statements, notes to the financial statements, and in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB filed on July 3, 2006.

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements
of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and
state securities laws, including statements regarding, among other items, the
Company’s business strategies, continued growth in the Company’s markets,
projections, and anticipated trends in the Company’s business and the industry
in which it operates. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified
by
phrases such as the Company or its management “believes,” “expects,”

similar import. Similarly, statements in this report describe the Company’s
business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are

in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could
differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking
statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well
as
any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and subject to inherent
risks and uncertainties. The factors impacting these risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to:
the
substantial losses the Company has incurred to date; demand for and market
acceptance of new products; successful development of new products; the timing
of new product introductions and product quality; the Company’s ability to
anticipate trends and develop products for which there will be market demand;
the availability of manufacturing capacity; pricing pressures and other
competitive factors; changes in product mix; product obsolescence; the ability
of our customers to manage inventory; the ability to develop and implement
new
technologies and to obtain protection for the related intellectual property;
the
uncertainties of litigation and the demands it may place on the time and
attention of company management, general economic conditions and conditions
in
the markets addressed by the Company; as well as other risks and uncertainties,
including those detailed from time to time in our other Securities and Exchange
Commission filings. The forward-looking statements are made only as of the
date
hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise the
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.

Worldwide, Inc. On October 21, 2005, it changed its name to Skye International,
Inc., as part of its overall plan to create a brand name for its revised
business plan and expanded product lines.

Skye
has
three subsidiary corporations, all wholly-owned:
|
·
|
Envirotech
Systems Worldwide, Inc., an Arizona corporation
(“Envirotech”);
|
|
·
|
ION
Tankless, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“ION”);
and

On
November 7, 2003, Skye acquired Envirotech in a one-for-one share exchange.
On
that date, Skye issued 8,366,778 shares of its common stock to the Envirotech
shareholders. Subsequently, in December 2004, 2,075,000 of those shares were
returned to Skye by the former principals of Envirotech and cancelled, and
the
number of Skye’s issued and outstanding shares was correspondingly reduced,
pursuant to a settlement of litigation brought by Skye.
In
January 2004, Skye formed ION to perform research, development and marketing
of
new heating technologies. In January 2005, it created Valeo to license ION
technologies and to manufacture products using those technologies.
The
business office of the Company is located at 7150 West Erie Street, Chandler,
Arizona 85226. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
Envirotech
Envirotech
was formed December 9, 1998 and has a limited history of operations. The initial
period of its existence involved research and development of a line of
electronic, tankless water heaters. The first sales of its products occurred
in
calendar year 2000.
The
United States Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent to Envirotech for
its
Modular Electronic Tankless Water Heater (ETWH) (Patent No. US 6,389,226).
Proprietary rights to the design of the ETWH were Envirotech’s principal assets.
The existing patent and intellectual property of Envirotech were assigned as
collateral security for debts owed by Envirotech for legal services arising
prior to the acquisition of Envirotech by Skye.
In
2002,
Envirotech was named as a defendant in a patent infringement suit alleging
that
Envirotech’s product infringed upon a patent owned by David Seitz and
Microtherm, Inc. (the “Seitz Suit”),
discussed more fully in “Item 1 of Part II. Legal Proceedings, Seitz Suit”
below.
As
a
result of several lawsuits and adverse judgments obtained by third party
creditors against Envirotech, including the possibility of a default judgment
in
the Seitz suit, Envirotech filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
of
Arizona, on August 6, 2004 (the “Chapter 11 Proceedings”).
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
The
Seitz
Suit was initially stayed pending the disposition of the Chapter 11 Proceedings,
but on September 30, 2005, the Court allowed the plaintiff to re-open the
suit.
On
December 5, 2005, the Court issued a preliminary injunction against Envirotech
and its affiliated entities, including Skye, enjoining them from further
marketing, advertising or offering for sale, or accepting any orders for
(i) the
Envirotech ESI 2000 heater, (ii) any other heater, regardless of its model,
using parts of the Model ESI 2000 heater, and (iii) any other heater, regardless
of model number, utilizing in whole any part (sic) any technology embodied
in
the Model ESI 2000 heater. The Company does not consider this
injunction detrimental to its ongoing business activities, as it had
already discontinued production of the alleged offending product and the
new
products have been developed with specific attention to avoiding infringement
on
any existing patents of third parties. At a hearing on May 17, 2006 the Judge
issued a direction to Skye requiring it to engage in the discovery process
relative to the FORTIS™ and Paradigm™ products developed by Skye and Ion
Tankless. Skye has complied with this direction for additional discovery.
On May
16, 2006 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued patent no. 7,046,922
to Ion
Tankless, Inc. in connection with its modular tankless water heater technology.
On
August 8, 2006, the USPTO issued a method patent (No, 7,088,915) to ION on
the
modular tankless water heater technology, the core technology of the
FORTIS™
tankless
water heater. Skye
believes that these patents form the basis for the FORTIS™ line of products that
are currently entering production.
The
filing of the petition with the Bankruptcy Court stayed all then-existing
litigation, judgments and efforts to collect on judgments entered against
Envirotech. With the exception of a guarantee to one critical supplier in the
current amount of approximately $42,500, Skye did not assume any liability
for
the obligations of Envirotech. As of the date of the filing of the Chapter
11
Bankruptcy Petition, Envirotech had liabilities of approximately $1.6 million,
which are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. During the
pendency of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, Envirotech continued selling its water
heater products. Subsequently, in the first quarter of 2005, due to the lack
of
working capital and other factors, Envirotech ceased production of its products.
The Chapter 11 Proceedings were dismissed by the Court, with prejudice, on
February 28, 2006, at the request of Envirotech. In connection with incurring
legal fees to the law firm of Jennings Strouss & Salmon, PLC (“JSS”),
Envirotech granted a security interest in all of its tangible and intangible
assets
in 2001
and 2002,
including its intellectual property (the “Envirotech Security”), to JSS (the
“Senior Secured Creditor”). In the event the Senior Secured Creditor were to
foreclose on its collateral security against Envirotech, Envirotech could lose
all of its assets, and the unsecured creditors would not be expected to have
any
assets to proceed against on their claims against Envirotech.
After
Envirotech filed for bankruptcy as noted above, JSS sold its claim and the
related security interests to Sundance Financial Corporation, an entity
controlled by Larry Ryckman, who is a shareholder of Skye. On June 1, 2006
Sundance Financial Corporation entered into an agreement with the Company’s
subsidiary, ION Tankless, Inc. in which it assigned the Envirotech Security
to
Ion Tankless, Inc. Because
Envirotech has ceased operations, its only asset of any anticipated value is
its
intellectual property, including the patent as discussed above. The patent
is
being contested in the Seitz suit.
ION
Recognizing
the dynamic state of the industry and the need for an improved product line,
Skye made a decision in early 2004 to pursue its own research and development
for new water heating technologies, out of which it could develop a completely
new line of products. In January 2004, Skye formed a wholly-owned, non-operating
subsidiary, ION Tankless, Inc., through which it has since conducted research
and development of alternative heating technologies and products. Skye has
invested heavily in a research and development program to develop new and
innovative methods of heating water, which has resulted in the filing of several
applications for patents with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office involving
dozens of claims. In November 2005, the Company received notice from the USPTO
that the first such patent request had been allowed, which was issued on May
16,
2006 as US Patent No. 7,046,922. On
August
8, 2006, the USPTO issued a method patent (No, 7,088,915) to ION on the modular
tankless water heater technology, the core technology of the FORTIS™
tankless
water heater. While
there can be no assurances that the other patents sought will be granted or
that
the technology will be considered proprietary to Skye or ION, the Company
believes that its applications are meritorious and will be granted at least
in
part.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
With
the
exception of one patent held by Envirotech (discussed above), ION holds all
patents and intellectual property of the Company and it may license that
property to an affiliated or third party entity for manufacturing and
distribution. The assets of ION are included in the consolidated financial
statements for the Company.
Valeo
Valeo
was
formed by Skye in January 2005 as a wholly-owned operating subsidiary. Valeo
will license technology from ION and manufacture or contract for the manufacture
of several lines of water heating products, as well as other products embodying
ION patent technology. Valeo has leased approximately 28,000 square feet of
industrial space and has begun to oversee the production and distribution of
our
two new product lines, FORTIS™ and Paradigm™, which incorporate innovative
technology not previously used in the water heating market. These new products,
based on proprietary technology, are expected to serve as the foundation for
the
future growth of the Company.
Company
Headquarters and Capitalization
The
business office of the Company is located at 7150 West Erie, Chandler, Arizona
85226. The monthly base rent is approximately $20,000 and the Company first
occupied the building on August 15, 2005. The facility, built in 1997, includes
about 8,000 square feet of office space and 20,000 square feet of
warehouse/light industrial space suitable for assembly operations. In an effort
to reduce overhead costs, the Company has given notice to the landlord that
it
intends to vacate these premises effective August 31, 2006, and is presently
seeking other suitable facilities from which to operate.
As
of
June 30, 2006 there were approximately 20,688,493 shares of common stock
outstanding and the Company had approximately 250 shareholders of record on
that
date. As of June 5, 2006 the shares of common stock of the Company are traded
on
the OTC Pink Sheets under the ticker symbol SKYY. Prior to such date the shares
of common stock of the Company were traded on the National Association of
Securities Dealers OTC Bulletin Board under the symbols: SKYY and
SKYYE.
Our
Business and Prospects
The
Company is in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing
consumer lifestyle products, including, initially, several models of an
electronic, tankless water heater. The water heater is small, easy to
install and supplies endless amounts of hot water with energy savings. The
unit is a microprocessor controlled electric water heater contained in a compact
unit, eliminating the space demands of conventional water heaters. It
incorporates automatic, precise temperature controls. It saves energy,
space, and water and is suitable to all areas of the U.S. and worldwide. Prior
to the development of new technology, which is discussed later in this section,
the Company was dependent upon the operations of Envirotech for its revenue.
Beginning in 2004 and continuing throughout 2005, production and sales have
steadily declined while the Company embarked on an aggressive research and
development program to development new technologies and products for the
tankless water heater market. In January 2004, Skye formed ION through which
it
has since conducted research and development on alternative heating technologies
and products. Skye has invested heavily in a concerted R&D program to
develop new and innovative methods of heating water which has resulted in the
filing of applications for several patents involving dozens of claims. As a
result of a 20 month research and development program, several patent
applications have been filed and new products have been developed and will
be
ready production during the third quarter of 2006. The Company considers this
technology to be state of the art and it expects such products to set the
standard for the future of the electric tankless water heater industry.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
The
Company has ceased to manufacture the ESI-2000 water heater line of products
developed by Envirotech. Our FORTIS™
brand
product line, which is expected to be delivered to the market during the
third
quarter of 2006, is the result of the R&D program discussed above. Skye’s
FORTIS™
series
is scalable from 40 amps to 120 amps of heating power and is a
microprocessor-controlled electric water heater contained in a compact unit,
which is designed to operate in most any climate. Skye’s new and innovative
way of heating water for home and business is contained in a small and
easy to install unit. Not only does it supply endless amounts of hot water
but
it also offers substantial energy savings. The FORTIS™
series
saves energy, space, water, and is suitable for all areas of the world. Skye
uses advanced technology and high quality parts in the construction of the
FORTIS™
series,
which provides reliability and longevity in the unit. Anywhere hot water
is now
being used; Skye’s electric instantaneous water heaters can perform the task
more effectively. The FORTIS™
series
will heat the water only as long as you require and at the temperature you
desire, and will continue to maintain a precise temperature even if other
hot
water faucets are opened. Electricity is only used when water is required;
therefore the cost of heating water is reduced by 20% - 40%. Because the
FORTIS™
series
is compact it can be easily installed close to where hot water is being used
and
is ideal for hotels, motels, apartments, and homes where space is at a premium.
Skye believes its FORTIS™
series
heaters offers one of the most efficient solutions for on-demand endless
hot
water available today.
The
Company has expended considerable efforts in working with its contract
manufacturer, Jabil Circuit, Inc., in order to begin the production of the
FORTIS™
line of
products. The Company expects that the first FORTIS™
units
will be produced in the third quarter of 2006 with sales and delivery to also
commence during such period. Despite commencing production, the Company expects
that it may take up to one year for the production design and processes to
stabilize. During this initial period of production the Company has been advised
by Jabil Circuit that it is likely that changes will be made to the FORTIS™
product
in order to improve either the product itself or the manufacturability of the
product. Once the production and processes have stabilized the Company
anticipates that it will seek to move production of the FORTIS™
to
a
lower cost center in Mexico or China in order to gain additional
margin.
The
Company has continued to focus development efforts on the commercialization
of
its patent pending Paradigm™
technology.
Although we have been very excited about the functionality that the Paradigm™
technology offers, we have not been successful in developing a cost effective
means to commercialize the technology into a consumer product line. We are
currently in final negotiations with a critical supplier to jointly complete
the
engineering and commercialization process and then subsequently engage in n
engineering for manufacturing phase. In the event we are successful in
concluding a strategic relationship in this regard the Company expects that
it
will have first delivery of product utilizing the Paradigm™
technology
by the end of 2006 or early 2007. As we have not yet completed our negotiations
there can be no assurance that we will finalize any such agreement, or if we
do
finalize the agreement, that we will be successful in the completion of a
commercialized product for distribution within a reasonable period of
time.
We
have
expended considerable efforts to develop a sales and distribution network in
the
United States and beyond. We have chosen to sell our products through wholesale
distribution utilizing manufacturer’s representatives. As of June 30, 2006, we
have appointed a total of 12 manufacturer representatives covering a total
of 22
States. We are currently negotiating for the appointment of additional
representatives in other US States, as well as Canada and Mexico. We expect
that
we will complete the appointment of representatives in States across the United
States by the end of 2006.
Access
to
capital remains one of the most pressing considerations for the Company.
Although we were successful in concluding a $600,000 non-brokered private
placement in April 2006, such funds were not sufficient to provide adequate
working capital to meet the needs of the Company beyond the beginning of the
third quarter 2006. As such, the Company expects to be working diligently to
access additional funding likely by way of further private placements of equity.
We have commenced negotiations with several broker-dealers with a view to
completing further private placements to fund our business strategy, but to
date
we have not yet concluded any such arrangement. Our business strategy will
require us to raise in excess of $3 million over the next 12 month period in
order to fully execute our current business plan. There can be no assurance
that
we will be able to raise such additional funding by way of either new debt
or
equity, and in the event we are unable to raise the funds necessary to fund
our
business plan it will be necessary to curtail such plans and this could have
a
detrimental impact on our business. Management believes that, in order to
properly exploit the introduction of both the FORTIS™
and
Paradigm™
technologies, it will be necessary that we be positioned not only as a quality
supplier of products, but that we also be able to supply a sufficient volume
of
product to meet wholesale demand. We believe that, relative to the wholesale
market, there is a very high expectation that product be available in a timely
fashion when ordered. In order to meet this expectation we must be capable
of
not only producing our products in sufficient volume, but holding
quantities of product in inventory as well. These things all require capital
and
we must be successful in our efforts to obtain this funding if we are to be
successful in the wholesale sales and distribution
channel.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Over
the
balance of the year we will continue to focus our efforts on producing the
FORTIS™
product
line and in getting such product into the market to be sold. We will continue
to
develop our markets and train installers and field service personnel in
cooperation with our appointed manufacturer’s representatives. This is no small
task and it will require a significant effort on the part of our existing staff,
as well as new staff that must be hired in order to provide sales and customer
service to the field. We will also focus our efforts on completing the
Paradigm™
technology
and we are challenged by the opportunity to introduce this powerful technology
to the US marketplace. While Paradigm™
will
require a significant investment of time and capital in order to yield a line
of
marketable products, we are confident that products based on this technology
will be amongst the most efficient and technologically advanced in the market.
Many challenges remain and our staff is committed to the challenge.
Target
Markets and Distributors
According
to the Appliance Manufacturers Association, 10 million tank water heaters were
sold in the United States in 1997, at an average cost per unit of $210, for
total gross sales of $3.15 billion. Annual tankless water heater sales in the
United States exceed $100 million in gross sales, as of 2004. The worldwide
market for tankless water heaters is more than $10 billion in gross annual
sales.
Skye
believes that the U.S. market for tankless water heaters, that comprised less
than 2% of total water heater sales in 2004, is poised for significant growth.
According to a 2003 Frost & Sullivan report, tankless water heater sales
were experiencing a significant growth rate exceeding 57% per year, as compared
to only a 2% growth rate for traditional tank-based water heaters.
Because
tankless water heaters are still relatively new in the U.S., Skye has determined
it will use wholesale distribution through appointed manufacturer’s
representatives to
enter
the market place. As consumer knowledge of tankless is still quite low, Skye
believes that a “push” style distribution through wholesale distribution is
needed. Utilizing the resources of wholesalers to make sales calls and stock
inventory locally will help to reduce initial capital needs and expedite a
broader distribution network. To date,
Skye has
appointed manufacturer’s representatives in 22 states and expects that it will
continue to appoint more representatives over the balance of 2006, including
manufacturer’s representatives in Canada and Mexico.
The
wholesale distribution model is favored by Skye because, among other reasons,
according to the 2003 Frost & Sullivan report, over 60% of plumbing sales
are made by wholesale distributors. Many of the wholesale distributors add
value
to Skye’s distribution because, in addition to providing the local sales and
installation force, they also are able to inventory both units and parts. As
awareness of tankless grows, a local presence is essential to convert home
building, architects and other key decision makers to adopt tankless
technology.
Over
time
Skye believes that certain of its products, particularly the Paradigm™
point-of-use water heaters will likely be sold through traditional and
“big-box” retailers.
Although retailers typically drive somewhat higher margins for Skye as compared
to wholesale distribution, the infrastructure necessary to support this sales
channel is significantly higher and Skye is not currently staffed or capitalized
to do this. We will continue to monitor our distribution and determine on a
product-by-product basis, which method of distribution or sales channel best
serves Skye’s interests.
Skye
has
also established a relationship with Siemens, AG, our supplier of
certain
critical
electrical components. Skye is currently working with Siemens, AG to develop
critical electrical components to enhance the safety and functionality of Skye’s
products, as well as to develop the necessary component to commercialize the
Paradigm™
product
lines.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Manufacturing
On
February 15, 2006, Skye entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement with
Jabil Circuit, Inc. (“Jabil”) pursuant to which Jabil has agreed to manufacture
certain components and to assemble Skye’s tankless water heater products as
specified by Skye from time to time. The agreement has an effective date
of
January 30, 2006. Skye anticipates that Jabil will become Skye’s primary
manufacturer and is currently completing the engineering for manufacturing.
Additionally, Skye is also actively negotiating with critical suppliers
to
quality them to supply Paradigm™
components, as well as potentially expedite the earlier market availability
of
products utilizing the patent pending Paradigm™
technology.
Intellectual
Property
In
May
2002, Envirotech was granted a patent by the United States Patent Office for
its
Modular Electronic Tankless Water Heater (ETWH) (Patent No. US 6,389,226).
The
Founders of Envirotech and Steve Onder, and each of the contractors or
consultants who have performed research and development services for and on
behalf of Envirotech made written assignments to Envirotech of proprietary
and
intellectual property rights relating to the ETWH and that research and
development, and have signed non-disclosure, non-competition agreements with
Envirotech.
During
the past two years, based on newly developed technology, ION has filed several
applications for patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
and
expects the products offered using this new technology to replace the products
previously manufactured by Envirotech. All persons deemed inventors have
executed written assignments to ION of proprietary and intellectual property
rights relating to the inventions forming the basis of the various applications
for patents and the attendant research and development. In November 2005, the
Company received notice from the USPTO that the first such patent request has
been allowed, which was issued on May 16, 2006 as US Patent No. 7,046,922.
On
August 8, 2006, the USPTO issued a method patent (No, 7,088,915) to ION on
the
modular tankless water heater technology, the core technology of the
FORTIS™
tankless
water heater. While there can be no assurances that the other patents sought
will be granted or that the technology will be considered proprietary to Skye
or
ION, the Company believes that its applications are meritorious and will be
granted at least in part.
In
addition to the applications of patents filed by the Company, Skye has also
registered its name and graphics art logo with the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office. Effective protection may not be available for our service marks.
Although we have registered our service marks in the United States and in
certain countries in which we do business or expect to do business, we cannot
assure you that we will be able to secure significant protection for these
marks. Our competitors or others may adopt product or service names similar
to
“Skye”, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly
leading to client confusion. Our inability to adequately protect the name “Skye”
could adversely affect our business, but would not detract from the Company’s
proprietary ownership of its other intellectual property.
The
Company conducts all of its research and development activities through ION.
All
employees, contractors and consultants engaged in the research and development
process by ION were required to execute non-disclosure, non-competition
agreements covering the subject, scope and work product of the program. The
Company expended approximately $450,000 in 2005 and $285,000 in 2004 on research
and development.
Dependence
on Major Customer
Skye
is
just beginning the wholesale introduction of its products it has not developed
a
dependence upon any single customer or group of customers. By necessity, initial
sales of Skye’s products may be concentrated with certain distributors until a
broader distribution network can be achieved. Skye will continue to monitor
its
sales and distribution activities closely to avoid any such
reliance.
Costs
of Environmental Compliance
Because
Skye does not manufacture any of its products, it does not anticipate incurring
material costs related to environmental compliance, which is the responsibility
of the manufacturer.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Materials and Principal Suppliers.
Sky
has
retained Jabil Circuit, Inc. to manufacture its products, and, as such, is
heavily dependent upon Jabil to perform satisfactorily so as to ensure the
availability of product for sale. Jabil is required to buy components for Skye’s
products from the market at large, as well as an approved list of suppliers,
including Siemens, AG (electrical components), Lake Monitors (flow sensors),
Tru-Heat (heating elements), Hydro Aluminum (extruded heating chamber), and
Arnold Bros. (stainless steel sheet metal and components). Although limited
production experience has been obtained, Skye is satisfied that Jabil has the
necessary experience to avoid supplier delivery problems. In order to avoid
losses associated with lack of production components, Skye has worked closely
with Jabil to identify suppliers that have traditionally performed well in
addition to ensuring that multiple suppliers for most components are available.
With the exception of certain proprietary components manufactured by Jabil,
and
the preferred vendors noted above, the balance of components are readily
available from a variety of sources both domestically and internationally.
Skye
is satisfied that it and Jabil have adequately planned to avoid production
disruption resulting from a breakdown in its supply chain.
Recent
Developments
On
May
16, 2006, the USPTO issued a design patent (No, 7,046,922) to ION on the modular
tankless water heater, the core technology of the FORTIS™
tankless
water heater.
On
August
8, 2006, the USPTO issued a method patent (No, 7,088,915) to ION on the modular
tankless water heater, the core technology of the FORTIS™
tankless
water heater.
The
Company completed engineering on the FORTIS™
series
of products in October 2005. Initial samples were produced in December 2005.
On
February 15, 2006, the Company entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement
with Jabil, Inc., pursuant to which Jabil will manufacture certain parts and
assemble the Company’s products. A copy of that agreement was filed with the
Company’s current report on Form 8-K dated February 23, 2006.
Other
Activities
On
January 26, 2006, the company received a subscription for 100,000 shares of
common stock at $0.55 per common share in a non-brokered direct private
placement for total net proceeds of $55,000. This subscription was subsequently
accepted and the shares issued on April 12, 2006. The shares were restricted
pursuant to the provisions of Section 144 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1933. The securities were sold only to persons who met the Accredited Investor
requirements and other requirements set forth in the offering memorandum.
Between
April 10, 2006 and April 25, 2006, the Company issued 1,714,260 shares of common
stock at $0.35 per common share in a non-brokered direct private placement
for
total net proceeds of $600,000. The shares were restricted pursuant to the
provisions of Section 144 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933. The securities
were sold only to persons who met the Accredited Investor requirements and
other
requirements set forth in the offering memorandum. No commissions or other
fees
were payable in connection with this private placement. The funds were allocated
for general working capital purposes, as well as to fund the initial production
of the FORTIS™ product by Jabil Circuit, Inc. pursuant to Skye’s Manufacturing
Services Agreement of January 2006.

Revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $13,503, compared to revenues of
$157,825 in the six months ended June 30, 2005. This resulted in a decrease
in
revenues of $ 144,322, from the same period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease
in
revenues is directly related to the cessation of sales of the Envirotech
ESI-2000.

primarily due to the Company’s decrease in compensation to our consultants.
We
anticipate an increase in the general and administrative expenses by the Company
as we continue to add more operational and administrative personnel, legal
and
other professional assistance with our continued efforts to execute our business
plan and market our products in the US. We anticipate this transition to create
up front costs, as well as continuing costs for additional personnel.

A
critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence
is
the ability to obtain additional capital through equity and/or debt financing.
Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuances
of common stock and cash generated from our operations. As we continue our
activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from
operations, pending receipt of significant revenues.
The
Company expects that additional operating losses will occur until revenue is
sufficient to offset the level of costs to be incurred for marketing, sales
and
product development. Until
the
Company has achieved a sales level sufficient to break even, it will not be
self-sustaining or be competitive in the areas in which it intends to
operate. The
Company will require additional funds
to
complete the ramping up for production of the FORTIS™,
to
fully implement its marketing plans and for continued operations. Additionally,
the Company will also require further development funds in order to finalize
a
commercialized version of its consumer product utilizing ION’s patent pending
Paradigm™
technology. We anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations
through common stock offerings and bank borrowings, to the extent available,
or
to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working
capital. In the event we cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our
strategic plan, we may have to significantly curtail our operations. This would
materially impact our ability to continue operations.
There is
no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding when
needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable
to the Company. Although the Company has been successful in raising
approximately $2.5 million through private placements since January 2004, it
has
no commitments or plans for any additional funding at the present time.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
As
of
June 30, 2006 the existing capital and anticipated funds from operations were
not sufficient to sustain operations and expansion over the next twelve months.
We anticipate substantial increases in our cash requirements; which will require
additional capital generated from either the sale of common stock, the sale
of
preferred stock, or debt financing. No assurance can be made that such financing
would be available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or
equity. In either case, the financing could have a negative impact on our
financial condition and our stockholders.
We
anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our
prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such
risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable
business model and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must,
among other things, expand our customer base, implement and successfully execute
our business and marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments, and
attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance
that
we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can
have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition
and results of operations.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
have
identified the following policies as critical to our business operations and
the
understanding of our results of operations. The preparation of these financial
statements require us to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts
of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance
that
actual results will not differ from those estimates. The effect of these
policies on our business operations is discussed below where such policies
affect our reported and expected financial results.
Revenue
Recognition.
Our
revenue recognition policy is significant because our revenue is a key component
of our results of operations. We recognize revenue when delivery of the product
has occurred or services have been rendered, title has been transferred, the
price is fixed and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales of goods are
final with no right of return.
Warranty
Costs.
We
warrant our products against manufacturing defects for a period of five years
on
electrical components and 10 years on other components. Once sales of our new
products commence, we expect to make an accrual for warranty claims based on
our
sales.
Intangible
Assets.
We have
intangible assets in the form of patents issued and pending. Our estimate of
the
remaining useful life of these assets and the amortization of these assets
will
affect our gain from operations. Since we do not have a method of quantifying
the estimated number of units that may be sold we have elected to amortize
these
intangibles over a seven year period beginning in the first quarter of 2006.
Purchase
Accounting.
Our
purchase accounting policy is to record any acquisitions in accordance with
current accounting pronouncements and allocate the purchase price to the net
assets. The Company evaluates the fair market values of tangible and intangible
assets based on current market conditions, and financial and economic factors.
Intangible assets are valued using several cash flow projection models and
financial models to establish a baseline for their respective valuations. The
Company’s policy is to expense in-process research and development costs at
acquisition.
Stock
Options.
We have
a stock option plan under which options to purchase shares of our common stock
may be granted to employees, consultants and directors at a price no less than
the fair market value on the date of grant. We account for grants to employees
in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB
No. 25”). Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the
difference, if any, on the date of the grant between the fair value of our
stock
and the exercise price of the option and is recognized ratably over the vesting
period of the option. Because our options must be granted with an exercise
price
equal to the quoted market value of our common stock at the date of grant,
we
recognize no stock compensation expense at the time
of
the grant in accordance with APB No. 25. On January 1, 2006 we adopted the
fair value based method set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS
No. 123”), we would recognize compensation expense based upon the fair
value at the grant date for awards under the plans. The amount of compensation
expense recognized using the fair value method requires us to exercise judgment
and make assumptions relating to the factors that determine the fair value
of
our stock option grants. We account for equity instruments issued to
non-employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task
Force Issue No. 96-18, Accounting
for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring,
or
in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Going
Concern
The
financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance
of us as a going concern. Our cash position may be inadequate to pay all of
the
costs associated with our operations. We intend to use borrowings and security
sales to mitigate the effects of our cash position, however no assurance can
be
given that debt or equity financing, if and when required will be available.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue existence.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements.
The
Company’s subsidiary Envirotech granted a security interest in all of its
tangible and intangible assets in 2001 and 2002, including its intellectual
property (the “Envirotech Security”), to its law firm Jennings, Strouss and
Salmon (the “Senior Secured Creditor”). On August 6, 2004 Envirotech was granted
a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. During the pendency
of such Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company unsuccessfully attempted to reach
a
settlement with the Senior Secured Creditor to acquire the Envirotech Security.
Fearful that the Senior Secured Creditor might sell the Envirotech Security
to
an adverse party, a shareholder of the Company, Lawrence Ryckman, through
Sundance Financial Corporation (“Sundance”), successfully negotiated and
concluded the purchase of the Envirotech Security from the Senior Secured
Creditor. The Company agreed to purchase the Envirotech Security from Sundance
and the Company made a series of payments to Sundance totaling $83,000 between
June 2005 and November 2005. On June 1, 2006 the Company negotiated and
concluded a definitive agreement to reacquire the Envirotech Security by way
of
the payment of $2,000 to Sundance, the amount being representative of the fees
and expenses incurred by Sundance to acquire the Envirotech Security. The
Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Ion Tankless, Inc., now owns the
Envirotech Security.
We
have
no other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely
to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
FACTORS
THAT MAY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Risks
Relating To Our Business and Our Marketplace
History
of Operations and Dependence on Future Development.
Skye
International, Inc. (“Skye”) was organized November 23, 1993 and existed as a
development stage company until its acquisition of Envirotech Systems Worldwide,
Inc. (“Envirotech”), on November 7, 2003. Envirotech was organized December 9,
1998. Envirotech has a limited history of operations. The first sales of its
products occurred in calendar year 2000. Subsequent to its formation, the
Company has generated approximately $4,043,572 in losses through November 7,
2003, the date of acquisition by Skye. However, $489,658 of this loss occurring
in 2003 was attributable to a re-purchase of a distributorship in a major market
where Envirotech believed the distributor was not performing as well as the
market would justify. The Company on an operating and consolidated basis has
continued to incur losses from operations since the date of acquisition. The
Company has yet to generate significant revenue from sales of product and has
not generated any revenues yet from the sale of the products from its research
and development initiatives.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Prior
to
the development of new technology, the Company was dependent upon the operations
of Envirotech for its revenue. The Company expects that additional operating
losses will occur until revenue is sufficient to offset the level of costs
to be
incurred for marketing, sales and product development. The Company is subject
to
all of the risks inherent in establishing a new business enterprise. Since
the
Company has a very limited record of operations, there can be no assurance
that
its business plan will be successful. The potential for success of the Company
must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties,
complications and delays frequently encountered with the start-up of new
businesses and the competitive environment in which the Company will operate.
A
prospective investor should be aware that if the Company is not successful
in
achieving its goals and achieving profitability, any money invested in the
Company might be lost. The Company’s management team believes that its potential
near-term success depends on the Company’s success in completing product
development, then in manufacturing, marketing and selling its products and
in
developing new products.
The
Company has not had sufficient funds to date with which to fully implement
its
marketing plans. We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be
successful because these strategies are unproven. There can be no assurance
that
the Company will generate sufficient revenues to the extent necessary to render
it profitable. Many of Envirotech’s activities during its early years have
involved research and development concerning tankless water heaters. This has
required the investment of substantial capital with no period in which to
realize the benefits of such activities. There can be no assurance that
Management has accurately forecast the Company's performance or that planned
operations will lead to profits in the future. In addition, outside of product
know-how, intellectual property and contractual relationships, the Company
has
only limited hard assets. If the Company is unable to develop marketable
products, obtain customers and/or generate sufficient revenues so that it can
profitably operate, the Company's business will not succeed. We will be
particularly susceptible to the risks and uncertainties described in these
risk
factors and will be more likely to incur the expenses associated with addressing
them. Our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks,
expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in early stages
of
development. These risks are particularly severe among companies in new and
rapidly evolving markets such as those that we expect will serve as our target
markets. Accordingly, purchasers of Units will bear the risk of loss of their
entire investment in the Company.
Awaiting
SEC Response to Amended Financial Filings for the Year Ended December 31,
2004
On
September 15, 2005 the Company received a letter from the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to information provided by the Company in
its financial filings for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 10KSB”),
as well as the interim quarterly filings preceding such date. The SEC has
requested, among other things, that we clarify and restate certain disclosures
in the 2004 10KSB and possibly some related quarterly disclosures on form 10QSB
during such year. On June 14, 2006 the Company filed an amended and restated
10KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2004, and, to date, we have not received
any comments thereon from the SEC.
Company’s
Shares Quoted on the Pink Sheets
Because
the Company did not file its 2005 10KSB within such grace period it did not
maintain its quotation on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. On June 5, 2006 the
Company’s shares began trading on the largely unregulated Pink Sheet market.
Although the Company has committed to rectifying its regulatory compliance
so as
to qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulleting Board there can be no assurance
that the Company’s shares will resume quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, or if
they resume, that such quotation can be maintained.
Limited
Capital and Need for Additional Financing.
Until
the
Company has achieved a sales level sufficient to break even, it will not be
self-sustaining or be competitive in the areas in which it intends to
operate. The Company will require additional funding for continued
operations, and will therefore be dependent upon its ability to raise additional
funds through bank borrowings, equity or debt financing, or asset sales.
We expect to need to access the public and private equity or debt markets
periodically to obtain the funds we need to support our operations and continued
growth. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional
funding when needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on
terms acceptable to the Company. If we require, but are unable to obtain,
additional financing in the future on acceptable terms, or at all, we will
not
be able to continue our business strategy, respond to changing business
or economic conditions, withstand adverse operating results or compete
effectively. If the Company cannot obtain needed funds, the Company may
be forced to curtail or cease its activities. If additional shares were
issued to obtain financing, current shareholders may suffer a dilutive effect
on
their percentage of stock ownership in the Company and this dilutive effect
may
be substantial. The
Company has no commitments or plans for any additional funding at the present
time. Insufficient financial resources may require the Company to delay or
eliminate all or some of its development, marketing and sales plans, which
could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. There
is
no certainty that the expenditures to be made by the Company will result in
a
profitable business.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
On-Going
Litigation
The
Company is currently engaged in a significant amount of litigation (See Part
II
item No. 1 “Legal Proceedings” below for further details). The cost of this
litigation is significant and it is expected that associated costs will be
continued to be incurred until such matters are concluded. The Company expects
that such continuing costs could be significant if all matters proceed to trial.
Although management is attempting to settle or otherwise expeditiously resolve
such matters there can be no assurance that such early resolution can be
achieved, and, if not expeditiously resolved, substantial costs and a diversion
of our management’s attention and resources will likely occur and this could
hurt our business.
Lack
of Diversification.
The
size
of the Company makes it unlikely that the Company will be able to commit its
funds to diversify the business until it has a proven track record, and the
Company may not be able to achieve the same level of diversification as larger
entities engaged in this type of business.
Competition.
The
water
heater market is mature, highly concentrated and highly competitive. Steep
discounts and rebates as high as 20% or more are standard. Some contractors
are
loyal to favorite brands and on occasion resistant to tankless systems, and
the
plumbing industry is on occasion also resistant to tankless systems. Pricing
competition has increased in recent years, and major manufacturers are
increasing their expenditures on research and development. Conventional water
heaters (tank heaters) are slightly more efficient and reliable than
conventional tank water heaters in previous years. There are several companies
around the world who manufacture water heaters, conventional and tankless.
It is
reasonable to expect to encounter intense competition in all aspects of our
business and that such competition would increase. Substantial competition
could
emerge at any time. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have
longer operating histories and significantly greater experience, resources,
and
managerial, financial, technical, and marketing capabilities than us. In
addition, many of these competitors offer a wider range of products and services
than we contemplate offering. Many current and potential competitors also have
greater name recognition, industry contacts and more extensive customer bases
that could be leveraged to accelerate their competitive activity. Moreover,
current and potential competitors have established and may establish future
cooperative relationships among themselves and with third parties to enhance
their products and services in this space. Consequently, new competitors or
alliances may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future
competitors or that the competitive pressures faced by us will not harm our
business. This
intense competition, and the impact it has on the valuation of companies of
this
nature, could limit our opportunities and have a materially adverse effect
on
the Company’s profitability or viability.
The
Company believes that its primary competition will be the manufacturers of
conventional tank water heaters, who are firmly established with the plumbing
industry. There are a large number of manufacturers of tank water heaters,
both
domestic and foreign. The dominant manufacturers are five large, multinational,
established companies with significantly more resources than the Company
(Bradford-White, Rheem, A. O. Smith, State Industries and American Standard).
Manufacturers of tank water heaters dominate the U.S. market, maintaining over
99% market share of residential water heater sales. The Company cannot predict
the likelihood that it will take market share away from those manufacturers,
or
whether or how long it will take the Company to build up sales of the ETWH.
In
addition, there can be no assurance that larger, more established companies
with
significantly more financial, technical, research, engineering, development
and
marketing resources; with established distribution networks
and worldwide manufacturing capabilities; and with greater revenues and greater
name recognition than the Company; will not develop competing systems and
products which will surpass the Company’s business.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
To
the
Company's knowledge, the competition in electric tankless water heaters in
the
United States consists primarily of five companies that have done business
mostly in North America, Central America and South America, with combined annual
revenue in excess of $10 million. The Company expects it will encounter greater
competition from tankless manufacturers in other countries, where tankless
water
heaters have a longer history of sales and greater acceptance in the
marketplace. Competitive factors, including competitors entering the tankless
water heater market, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations, financial condition and forecasted financial
results.
Performance;
Market Acceptance.
The
quality of the Company’s products, manufacturing capability, and marketing and
sales ability, and the quality and abilities of its personnel, are among the
operational keys to the Company’s success. A primary management challenge will
be to penetrate the market for water heaters, a mature, highly competitive
and
concentrated market. Also, distributors and users of water heaters may resist
or
be slow to accept a tankless water heater. Other important factors to the
success of the Company will be the ability to complete the development process
for new products in a timely manner and the ability to attract an adequate
number of buyers, distributors and investors. There can be no assurance that
the
Company can complete development of new technology so that other companies
possessing greater resources will not surpass it. There can be no assurance
that
the Company can achieve its planned levels of performance, or can be successful
in establishing relationships with the number and quality of distributors it
needs to be successful, in a timely way. If the Company is unsuccessful in
these
areas, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations, financial condition and forecasted financial
results.
Dependence
on Intellectual Property - Design and Proprietary Rights.
Our
success and ability to compete depend to a significant degree on our
intellectual property. Others could use our intellectual property without our
consent because we may not be able to protect our intellectual property
adequately. We will rely on copyright and trademark law, as well as
confidentiality arrangements, to protect our intellectual property.
Envirotech
was granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its
Modular Skye Electronic Water Heater (ETWH) (Patent No. US 6,389,226 B1).
Proprietary rights to the design of the ETWH were Envirotech’s principal assets.
The existing patent and intellectual property of Envirotech were assigned as
collateral for debts owed by Envirotech for legal services arising prior to
the
acquisition of Envirotech by Skye. Envirotech, in 2005, discontinued production
of all models of the ESI-2000 tankless water heater previously manufactured
by
it. On December 5, 2005 by order of Judge Lee Rosenthal of the US District
Court
for the Southern District of Texas in Houston a preliminary injunction against
the Company was issued in connection with the civil action H-02-4782 between
David Seitz and Microtherm (as Plaintiff) and Envirotech (as Defendant and
Plaintiff by counterclaim) enjoining the Company and others from manufacturing,
assembling, selling or offering for sale, any Product (as defined in the order)
including the Envirotech ESI-2000 heater, any other heater regardless of its
model number utilizing parts from the ESI-2000 or any other heater, regardless
of its model number, utilizing in whole any part any technology embodied in
the
ESI-2000 heater (sic).
The
new
line of tankless water heaters designed by the Company do not utilize the
Envirotech patent or technology related to the ESI-2000 product, and are
constructed entirely using parts and operational methodologies distinct from
the
Envirotech ESI-2000 heater. The Company does not intend to produce any further
ESI-2000 heaters and believes all future water heaters will embody designs
and
technologies related to newly developed intellectual property of the Company’s
research and design subsidiary Ion Tankless, Inc.
.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
During
the past year, based on newly developed technology, Skye has filed several
applications for patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
and
expects that a range of products using this new technology will replace the
products previously manufactured by Envirotech. On May 16, 2006, the Company’s
subsidiary, ION Tankless, Inc. received notice from the USPTO that the first
such patent had been published as Patent No 7,046,922 for a Modular
Tankless Water Heater. On
August
8, 2006, the USPTO issued a method patent (No, 7,088,915) to ION on the modular
tankless water heater, the core technology of the FORTIS™
tankless
water heater. While
there can be no assurances that the other patents sought will be granted or
that
the technology will be considered proprietary to Skye or ION, the Company
believes that its applications are meritorious and will be granted at least
in
part. It is expected that further research and development undertaken by the
Company through its subsidiary, ION Tankless, Inc., will result in the issuance
of more patents. However, the concepts and technologies we use in the future
may
not be patentable.
Effective
Protection may not be available for our Trademarks.
Although
we have applied to register our trade marks in the United States, we cannot
assure you that we will be able to secure significant protection for these
marks. Our competitors or others may adopt product or service names similar
to
"Skye", thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly
leading to client confusion. Our inability to adequately protect the name "Skye”
could seriously harm our business.
Policing
unauthorized use of our intellectual property is made especially difficult
by
the global nature of the high technology industry and difficulty in controlling
hardware and software. The laws of other countries may afford us little or
no
effective protection for our intellectual property. We cannot assure you that
the steps we take will prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property
or
that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. In addition,
litigation may be necessary in the future to: enforce our intellectual property
rights; determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others;
or
defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation, whether
successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions
of
resources, either of which could seriously harm our business. There can be
no
assurance that competitors of the Company, some of which have substantially
greater resources, will not obtain patents or other intellectual property
protection that will restrict the Company’s ability to make and sell its
products. If the Company were unsuccessful in protection of proprietary and
intellectual property rights to the ETWH, it could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition
and
value, and forecasted financial results.
Some
of our markets are cyclical, and a decline in any of these markets could have
a
material adverse effect on our operating performance.
Our
business is cyclical and dependent on consumer spending and is therefore
impacted by the strength of the economy generally, interest rates, and other
factors, including
national, regional and local slowdowns in economic activity and job markets,
which can result in a general decrease in product demand from professional
contractors and specialty distributors. For example, a slowdown in economic
activity that results in less home renovations can have an adverse effect on
the
demand for some of our products.
In
addition, unforeseen events, such as terrorist attacks or armed hostilities,
could negatively affect our industry or the industries in which our customers
operate, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Disaster.
A
disaster that disables the Company’s operations will negatively impact the
Company’s ability to perform for a period of time. The Company’s disaster
recovery plan includes future multiple-site storage of inventory and the
possibility of multiple manufacturing facilities.
We
increasingly manufacture and/or source critical components for our products
outside the United States, which may present additional risks to our business.
A
significant portion of our future production will likely be manufactured outside
of the United States, principally in China, and expanding international
manufacturing capacity in China and Mexico is part of our strategy to reduce
costs. International operations generally are subject to various risks,
including political, religious and economic instability, local labor market
conditions, the imposition of foreign tariffs and other trade restrictions,
the
impact of foreign government regulations, and the effects of income and
withholding tax, governmental expropriation, and differences in business
practices. We may incur increased costs and experience delays or disruptions
in product deliveries and payments in connection with international
manufacturing and sales that could cause loss of revenue. Unfavorable changes
in
the political, regulatory, and business climate could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Our
operations will suffer if we are unable to complete our internal cost reduction
programs.
We
are
implementing a cost reduction program in our water heating products business,
which includes a transfer of portions of our manufacturing and assembly work
from of existing United States operations to proposed operations in China or
Mexico. In implementing this program, we may not be able to successfully
consolidate management, operations, product lines, distribution networks, and
manufacturing facilities, and we could experience a disruption in our inventory
and product supply or in administrative services. In addition, we may not be
able to complete this program without unexpected costs or delays, or the need
for increased management time and effort. If we do not successfully implement
this program on a timely basis, we will not achieve the planned operational
efficiencies and cost savings, and there could be an adverse impact on ongoing
relationships with our customers, all of which would impact our profitability.
Our
results of operations may be negatively impacted by product liability lawsuits.
Our
residential water heater business exposes us to potential product liability
risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture, and sale of our products
in
that business. While we currently maintain what we believe to be suitable
product liability insurance, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
maintain this insurance on acceptable terms or that this insurance will provide
adequate protection against potential liabilities. In addition, we self-insure
a
portion of product liability claims. A series of successful claims against
us
could materially and adversely affect our reputation and our financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Loss
of key suppliers, lack of product availability or loss of delivery sources
could
decrease sales and earnings.
Our
ability to manufacture a variety of products is dependent upon our ability
to
obtain adequate product supply from manufacturers or other suppliers. While
in
many instances we have agreements, including supply agreements, with our
suppliers, these agreements are generally terminable by either party on limited
notice. The loss of, or a substantial decrease in the availability of, products
from certain of our suppliers, or the loss of key supplier agreements, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. In addition, supply interruptions could arise from
shortages of raw materials, labor disputes or weather conditions affecting
products or shipments, transportation disruptions or other factors beyond our
control. Furthermore, since we acquire a portion of our supply from foreign
manufacturers, our ability to obtain supply is subject to the risks inherent
in
dealing with foreign suppliers, such as potential adverse changes in laws and
regulatory practices, including trade barriers and tariffs, and the general
economic and political conditions in these foreign markets.
Our
ability to both maintain our existing customer base and to attract new customers
is dependent in many cases upon our ability to deliver products and fulfill
orders in a timely and cost-effective manner.
To
ensure
timely delivery of our products to our customers, we frequently rely on third
parties, including couriers such as UPS, DHL and other national shippers as
well
as various local and regional trucking contractors. Outsourcing this activity
generates a number of risks, including decreased control over the delivery
process and service timeliness and quality. Any sustained inability of these
third parties to deliver our products to our customers could result in the
loss
of customers or require us to seek alternative delivery sources, if they are
available, which may result in significantly increased costs and delivery
delays. Furthermore, the need to identify and qualify substitute service
providers or increase our internal capacity could result in unforeseen
operations problems and additional costs. Moreover, if customer demands for
our
products increases, we may be unable to secure sufficient additional capacity
from our current service providers, or others, on commercially reasonable terms,
if at all.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
In some cases we are dependent on long supply
chains,
which may subject us to interruptions in the supply of many of the products
that
we distribute.
An
increasing portion of the products that we manufacture and distribute are
imported from foreign countries, including China and Mexico. We are thus
dependent on long supply chains for the successful delivery of many of our
products. The length and complexity of these supply chains make them vulnerable
to numerous risks, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause
significant interruptions or delays in delivery of our products. Factors such
as
labor disputes, changes in tariff or import policies, severe weather or
terrorist attacks or armed hostilities may disrupt these supply chains. We
expect more of our name brand and private label products will be imported in
the
future, which will further increase these risks. A significant interruption
in
our supply chains caused by any of the above factors could result in increased
costs or delivery delays and have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
Our
results of operations could be adversely affected by fluctuations in the cost
of
raw materials.
As
a
manufacturer we are subject to world commodity pricing for many of the raw
materials used in the manufacture of our products. Such raw materials are often
subject to price fluctuations, frequently due to factors beyond our control,
including changes in supply and demand, general U.S. and international economic
conditions, labor costs, competition, and government regulation. Inflationary
and other increases in the costs of raw materials have occurred in the past
and
may recur in the future. Any significant increase in the cost of raw materials
could reduce our profitability and have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Dilution.
The
Company presently has 20,688,493 shares issued and outstanding. If the Company
issues additional shares either outright or through any future options or
warrants programs or requires additional financing, further dilution in value
and in the percentage ownership represented by the purchaser’s Units or Shares
will occur and the dilutive effect could be significant.
Expect
to Incur Losses for the Foreseeable Future.
We
expect
to incur losses for the foreseeable future and
we
may never become profitable. Although our current revenue model contemplates
revenues from sale of products sufficient to break-even within nine to twelve
months, there is no assurance that these revenues will occur. Because technology
companies, even if successful, typically generate significant losses while
they
grow, we do not expect to generate profits for the foreseeable future, and
we
may never generate profits. In addition, we expect our expenses to increase
significantly as we develop the infrastructure necessary to implement our
business strategy. Our expenses will continue to increase as we: hire
additional employees; pursue research and development; expand our information
technology systems; and lease and purchase more space to accommodate our
operations.
Costs
associated with designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing products
to
our target markets and developing the infrastructure we will need to support
our
customers will depend upon many factors, including the number of customers,
and
the size, nature, market, and financial capabilities of each. Therefore, we
cannot now determine the amount by which our expenses will increase as we
grow.
Possible
Claims That the Company Has Violated Intellectual Property Rights of
Others.
Envirotech
has been named as a Defendant in a law suit filed in the U.S. District Court
for
the Southern District of Texas, Houston, Texas (Civil Action No. H-02-4782,
David Seitz and Microtherm, Inc., vs. Envirotech Systems Worldwide, Inc., and
Envirotech of Texas, Inc., referred to herein as the “Seitz Patent Suit”). The
Company is not affiliated with Envirotech of Texas, Inc. The suit alleges that
Envirotech has infringed upon patent rights of others and seeks damages and
an
order to cease and desist. Envirotech has engaged counsel to represent it in
the
matter. Management believes the suit is without merit and that Envirotech will
prevail in the matter. The suit was stayed pending the disposition of the
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition filed by Envirotech in August 2004, but the
Court
has allowed the plaintiff to re-open the Houston suit and a motion to that
effect has been filed by the Plaintiff. The Company engaged the law firm of
Susman Godfrey, LLP, Dallas, Texas to represent it in defending this matter
and
in prosecuting its counterclaim. The suit is in the discovery stage and the
Company is vigorously engaged
in the process. On July 26, 2006, the Company replaced Susman Godfrey with
Hemingway & Hansen, LLP, Dallas, Texas, who now represents the Company in
this matter. On December 05, 2005, the Court issued an injunction against
Envirotech and its affiliated entities, including Skye, enjoining them from
further marketing, advertising or offering for sale, or accepting any orders
for
(i) the Envirotech ESI 2000 heater, (ii) any other heater, regardless of its
model, using parts of the Model ESI 2000 heater, and (iii) any other heater,
regardless of model number, utilizing in whole any part any technology embodied
in the Model ESI 2000 heater. The Company does not consider this injunction
detrimental to its ongoing business activities, as it had already discontinued
production of the alleged offending product and the new products have been
developed with specific attention to avoiding infringement on any existing
patents of third parties. The Seitz Patent Suit involves Envirotech and, except
to the limited extent covered by the injunction and the discovery matters in
connection with technology used in connection with FORTIS™ and Paradigm™,
neither Skye nor any of its others subsidiaries are
defendants/counter-plaintiffs in the matter.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Except
as
described above, neither Skye nor Envirotech is the subject of any other
dispute, claim or lawsuit or threatened law suit alleging the violation of
intellectual property rights of a third party. With respect to the Fortis™ and
other new products the Company expects to bring to the market, management
believes they are not in violation of any patents claimed by others. To the
extent that the Company is alleged to have violated a patent or other
intellectual property right of a third party, it may be prevented from operating
its business as planned, and it may be required to pay damages, to obtain a
license, if available, to use the patent or other right or to use a
non-infringing method, if possible, to accomplish its objectives. Any of these
claims, with or without merit, could subject the Company to costly litigation
and the diversion of their technical and management personnel. If the Company
incurs costly litigation and its personnel are not effectively deployed, the
expenses and losses incurred by them will increase, and their profits, if any,
will decrease.
Business
Plans and Operational Structure May Change.
We
will
continually analyze our business plans and internal operations in light of
market developments. As a result of this ongoing analysis, we may decide to
make
substantial changes in our business plan and organization. In the future, as
we
continue our internal analysis and as market conditions and our available
capital change, we may decide to make organizational changes and/or alter some
of our overall business plans.
Reliance
on Management.
The
Company believes that it has management in-place, capable of executing its
business plan. It has also undertaken to recruit additional persons to key
management positions, including engineering and finance. Should the Company
be
unsuccessful in recruiting persons to fill the key management positions or
in
the event any of these individuals should cease to be affiliated with the
Company for any reason before qualified replacements could be found, there
could
be material adverse effects on the Company's business and prospects. Each of
the
officers and other key personnel, has an employment agreement with the Company,
which contains provisions dealing with confidentiality of trade secrets,
ownership of patents, copyrights and other work product, and non-competition.
Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that these personnel will remain employed
for the entire duration of the respective terms of such agreements or that
any
employee will not breach covenants and obligations owed to the Company.
In
addition, all decisions with respect to the management of the Company will
be
made exclusively by the officers and directors of the Company. Investors will
only have rights associated with minority ownership interest rights to make
decision that affect the Company. The success of the Company, to a large extent,
will depend on the quality of the directors and officers of the Company.
Accordingly, no person should invest in the Units unless he is willing to
entrust all aspects of the management of the Company to the officers and
directors.
Inability
to Attract and Retain Qualified Personnel.
The
future success of the Company depends in significant part on its ability to
attract and retain key management, technical and marketing personnel.
As
we
grow, we will also need to continue to hire additional technical, marketing,
financial and other key personnel. Competition
for highly qualified professional, technical, business
development, and management and marketing personnel is intense. We may
experience difficulty in attracting new personnel, may not be able to hire
the
necessary personnel to implement our business strategy, or we may need to pay
higher compensation for employees than we currently expect. A
shortage in the availability of required personnel could limit the ability
of
the Company to grow, sell its existing products and services and launch new
products and services.
We
cannot assure you that we will succeed in attracting and retaining the personnel
we need to grow.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Inability
to Manage Rapid Growth.
The
Company expects to grow very rapidly. Rapid growth often places considerable
operational, managerial and financial strain on a business. To successfully
manage rapid growth, the Company must accurately project its rate of growth
and:
|
·
|
rapidly
improve, upgrade and expand its business
infrastructures;
|
· deliver
products and services on a timely basis;
· maintain
levels of service expected by clients and customers;
· maintain
appropriate levels of staffing;
· maintain
adequate levels of liquidity; and
|
·
|
expand
and upgrade its technology, transaction processing systems and network
hardware or software or find third parties to provide these
services.
|
Our
business will suffer if the Company is unable to successfully manage its growth.
Regulatory
Factors.
The
Federal Government, a State Government or any Local Government could at any
time
enact, repeal or change law in such a way as to eliminate, reduce or postpone
certain advantages available to the water heater industry. In addition, possible
future consumer legislation, regulations and actions could cause additional
expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the activities
undertaken in connection with the business, the extent of which cannot be
predicted. The exact affect of such legislation cannot be predicted until it
is
proposed. Additionally, much
of
the Company’s business is regulated by National, State and Municipal codes that
affect the manner in which the Company’s products are installed and used.
Although the Company believes it is aware of existing practices around the
United States, there can be no assurance that one or more governing
jurisdictions could make changes to such codes, the effect of which could be
detrimental to the Company and its business in such jurisdictions.
Effects
of Amortization Charges.
Our
losses will be increased, or our earnings, if we have them in the future, will
be reduced, by charges associated with our issuances of options. We have adopted
the 2005 Stock Incentive for the benefit of our directors and employees. The
options and restricted stock granted under this plan, as amended, may have
exercise prices lower than the fair value of our common stock at the dates
of
grant. The total unearned stock-based compensation will be amortized as
stock-based compensation expense in our consolidated financial statements over
the vesting period of the applicable options or shares, generally five years
in
the case of options granted to employees and one year in the case of options
granted to non-employee directors and restricted stock issued to employees.
These types of charges may increase in the future. Future
unearned stock-based compensation charges may also include potential additional
charges associated with options granted to consultants. The future value of
these potential charges cannot be estimated at this time because the charges
will be based on the future value of our stock.
Dividend
Policy
There
can
be no assurance that the proposed operations of the Company will result in
significant revenues or any level of profitability. We
do not
anticipate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.
We plan to retain all future earnings, if any, to finance our operations and
the
acquisitions of interests in other companies and for general corporate purposes.
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends will be
at our
Board of Directors’ discretion and will depend on our financial condition,
operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion
and
other factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant. No
dividends have been declared or paid by the Company, and the Company does not
contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Conflicts
of Interest.
Existing
and future officers and directors may have other interests to which they devote
time, either individually or through partnerships and corporations in which
they
have an interest, hold an office, or serve on boards of directors, and each
may
continue to do so. As a result, certain conflicts of interest may exist between
the Company and its officers and/or directors that may not be susceptible to
resolution. All potential conflicts of interest will be resolved only through
exercise by the directors of such judgment as is consistent with their fiduciary
duties to the Company and it is the intention of management to minimize any
potential conflicts of interest.
Terms
of subsequent financings may adversely impact your
investment.
We
may
have to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financings in the
future. Your rights and the value of your investment in the common stock could
be reduced. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively
impacts operating results. Shares of our preferred stock are likely to be issued
in series from time to time with such designations, rights, preferences, and
limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock could
be
more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common stock. In
addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from sale of common stock,
institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and likely
more, favorable than the terms of your investment. Shares of common stock which
we sell will, at some point, be sold into the market, which could adversely
affect market price.
The
industry in which we operate is characterized by rapid technological change
that
requires us to develop new technologies and products.
Our
future will depend upon our ability to successfully develop and market
innovative products in a rapidly changing technological environment. We will
likely require significant capital to develop new technologies and products
to
meet changing customer demands that, in turn, may result in shortened product
lifecycles. Moreover, expenditures for technology and product development are
generally made before the commercial viability for such developments can be
assured. As a result, we cannot assure that we will successfully develop and
market these new products that the products we do develop and market will be
well received by customers, or that we will realize a return on the capital
expended to develop such products.
Our
future operating results may fluctuate and cause the price of our common stock
to decline, which could result in substantial losses for
investors.
Our
limited operating history and the lack of established products make it difficult
to predict accurately our future operations. We expect that our operating
results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, due to a variety
of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If our operating results
fall
below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our
common stock could decline significantly. The factors that could cause our
operating results to fluctuate include, but are not limited to:
|
·
|
ability
to commercialize new products from ongoing research and development
activities;
|
|
·
|
developments
in tankless water heating
technology;
|
|
·
|
price
and availability of alternative solutions for water heating systems;
|
|
·
|
availability
and cost of technology and marketing
personnel;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to establish and maintain key relationships with industry
partners;
|
|
·
|
the
amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating
to
maintaining our business, operations, and infrastructure;
|
|
·
|
general
economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the cost
of
electricity and water; and
|
|
·
|
the
ability to maintain a product margin on sales, given the early stage
of
our market for our products.
|
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
These
and
other external factors have caused and may continue to cause the market price
and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit
or
prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may
otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In the past,
securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies
following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. If
securities class action litigation were to be brought against us it could result
in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and
resources, which could hurt our business.
Our
common stock is subject to penny stock regulation that may affect the liquidity
for our common stock.
Our
common stock is subject to regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
relating to the market for penny stocks. These regulations generally require
that a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks
associated therewith be delivered to purchasers of penny stocks and impose
various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks
to
persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The
regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity
for our common stock and could limit your ability to sell your securities in
the
secondary market.
Future
equity transactions, including exercise of options or warrants, could result
in
dilution.
From
time
to time, we sell restricted stock, warrants, and convertible debt to investors
in other private placements. Because the stock is restricted, the stock is
sold
at a greater discount to market prices compared to a public stock offering,
and
the exercise price of the warrants sometimes is at or even lower than market
prices. These transactions cause dilution to existing stockholders. Also, from
time to time, options are issued to officers, directors, or employees, with
exercise prices equal to market. Exercise of in-the-money options and warrants
will result in dilution to existing stockholders. The amount of dilution will
depend on the spread between the market and exercise price, and the number
of
shares involved but this dilution could be significant.
We
have incurred losses and may continue to incur losses in the
future.
At
June
30, 2006, our accumulated deficit was $11,187,128.
We have
not been able to generate enough sales to cover our expenses and have survived
only by raising funds through the sale of debt and equity securities. We must
continue to raise funds in the near future to survive. While management has
been
successful in the past in raising these funds, there is no assurance that
management can continue to find investors to fund operations.
Our
future existence remains uncertain and the report of our auditors on our
December 31, 2004 and 2005 financial statements contains a “going concern”
qualification.
The
report of the independent auditors on our financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, includes an explanatory paragraph relating
to
our ability to continue as a going concern. We have suffered substantial losses
from operations, require additional financing, and need to continue the
development and marketing of our products. Ultimately we need to generate
additional revenues and attain profitable operations. These factors raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can
be
no assurance that we will be able to develop commercially viable products or
an
effective marketing system. Even if we are able to develop commercially viable
products, there is no assurance that we will be able to attain profitable
operations.
Our
results of operations may be negatively impacted by product liability lawsuits.
Our
residential water heater business exposes us to potential product liability
risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture, and sale of our products
in
that business. While we currently maintain what we believe to be suitable
product liability insurance, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
maintain this insurance on acceptable terms or that this insurance will provide
adequate protection against potential liabilities. In addition, we self-insure
a
portion of product liability claims. A series of successful claims against
us
could materially and adversely affect our reputation and our financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our
Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of
our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the
end
of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
June
30, 2006 to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports
that
we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures
are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and
procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting.
During
the period covered by this report, there were no changes in internal
controls
that
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Distributor
Suit.
Prior
to the acquisition of Envirotech, by the Company, Envirotech was the defendant
in a lawsuit filed by a former distributor alleging a breach of a Distributor
Agreement entered into with Envirotech in May, 1998. On August 13, 2003,
Envirotech entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release pursuant to which
Envirotech agreed to pay the distributor the sum of $520,500 in installments
over a period of ten years. The obligations under this Settlement Agreement
are
secured by a Security Agreement covering all assets of Envirotech except its
intellectual properties, as defined therein, subordinated, however, to a first
lien on all assets of Envirotech, tangible and intangible, granted to the Senior
Secured Creditor in 2001 and 2002 by Envirotech to secure two promissory notes
given in satisfaction of legal fees. As part of the settlement, Envirotech
granted the distributor a Stipulated Judgment which was not to be filed of
record so long as no default existed. On May 3, 2004, the distributor claimed
a
breach and filed the Stipulated Judgment. Management believes no default existed
to warrant the filing of the judgment. With the filing of the Bankruptcy
Petition by Envirotech (see below), this action was stayed. However, with the
dismissal of the Chapter 11 Proceedings on February 28, 2006, this judgment
is
once again a claim against the assets of Envirotech, subject, however, to the
claims and rights of the Senior Secured Creditor..
Seitz
Suit.
In
2002, Envirotech was named as a Defendant in a law suit filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston, Texas (Civil Action
No. H-02-4782, David Seitz and Microtherm, Inc., vs. Envirotech Systems
Worldwide, Inc., and Envirotech of Texas, Inc. (the “Seitz Suit”). The Company
is not affiliated with Envirotech of Texas, Inc. The suit alleges that
Envirotech has infringed upon patent rights of others and seeks damages and
an
order to cease and desist. Management believes the suit is without merit. The
suit was stayed pending the disposition of the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition
filed by Envirotech in August 2004. On September 30, 2005, however, the
Bankruptcy Court allowed the plaintiff to re-open the Seitz Suit and he has
done
so. The suit is in the discovery stage and the Company is vigorously engaged
in
the process. On December 5, 2005, the Houston Court issued an injunction against
Envirotech and its affiliated entities, including Skye, enjoining them from
further marketing, advertising or offering for sale, or accepting any orders
for
(i) the Envirotech ESI 2000 heater, (ii) any other heater, regardless of its
model, using parts of the Model ESI 2000 heater, and (iii) any other heater,
regardless of model number, utilizing in whole any part any technology embodied
in the Model ESI 2000 heater. The Company does not consider this injunction
detrimental to its ongoing business activities, as it had already discontinued
production of the alleged offending product and the new products have been
developed with specific attention to avoiding infringement on any existing
patents of third parties. Trial in the Seitz Suit has been scheduled for
November 2006. At a hearing on May 18, 2006, the Court directed that discovery
be expanded to include the technology and products of Skye, including,
specifically the FORTIS™
and
Paradigm™
technologies. Envirotech and Skye intend to aggressively pursue this litigation
to conclusion. On June 28, 2006 counsel for Envirotech withdrew from the action.
On July 26, 2006 Envirotech retained the Dallas, TX firm Hemingway, Hansen,
LLP
to continue the defense and prosecution of this litigation.

Unpaid
Legal Fees.
Subsequent to December 31, 2003, Envirotech has been named in four separate
lawsuits for unpaid legal and consulting fees totaling $268,000. These include
the Myers and Jenkins Suit and the Sensor Technologies Suit discussed below.
On
May 3, 2004, Envirotech settled one of these suits claiming fees of $112,500.
In
connection with that settlement, Envirotech reimbursed the plaintiff for alleged
out-of-pocket expenses and the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock,
restricted under SEC Rule 144, to the plaintiff on the basis of a loan from
the
Company to Envirotech. The settlement, and any settlements of the other suits,
will be reflected as a charge in the year of the settlement. In two of the
other
three suits judgments have been granted in the aggregate amount of approximately
$155,500, both of which were stayed by the bankruptcy filing discussed above.
The fourth suit is on behalf of a law firm that served as a contract arbitrator
in Envirotech’s dispute with the Distributor noted above. With the dismissal of
the Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company has received notice from the plaintiff
that it intends to resume the suit, which seeks approximately $3,500 in
fees.
Myers
and Jenkins Suit.
On May
24, 2006, Envirotech was served with a Motion for Entry of Default in connection
with an action filed in Arizona Superior Court, case number CV-2006-003671
by
Envirotech’s prior legal counsel, Myers and Jenkins. The motion seeks judgment
for the payment of the principal sum of $103,830, together with interest and
costs. Envirotech has not defended the action.
Sensor
Technologies Suit.
On May
24, 2006, Envirotech was served with an Application for Entry of Default in
connection with an action filed in the Arizona Superior Court, case number
CV-2006-0060632, by Sensor Technologies & Systems, Inc., an engineering firm
that provided engineering consulting services in connection with Envirotech’s
ESI-2000 product. The application seeks judgment for the payment of $72,391,
together with interest and costs. Envirotech has not defended the
action.
Bankruptcy
Proceedings.
As a
result of several claims arising out of decisions by Envirotech’s management
prior to its acquisition by Skye that resulted in a number of lawsuits and
judgments (see above), on August 6, 2004, Envirotech filed a Voluntary Petition
for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in Phoenix,
Arizona. The filing of this Petition with the Bankruptcy Court stayed all
existing litigation, judgments and efforts to collect on the judgments.
Envirotech was acquired by the Company in November 2003 in a stock-for-stock
transaction and has been held and operated by the Company as an operating
subsidiary. With the exception of a guarantee to one critical supplier in the
current amount of approximately $42,500, Skye has not assumed any liability
for
the obligations of Envirotech. As of the date of the filing of the Chapter
11
Bankruptcy Petition, Envirotech had liabilities of approximately $1.6 million.
Several creditors, not related to the supply of parts or the assembly of
products, have obtained judgments against Envirotech and an action was pending
in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, alleging patent
infringement (see above). All claims of creditors, including the above-mentioned
judgments, and efforts to collect same, together with the litigation pending
in
the U.S. District Court in Houston, were stayed during the pendency of the
Bankruptcy Proceedings. Envirotech filed a Disclosure Statement and Plan of
Reorganization on November 7, 2004 and the Court approved its request to submit
the plan to the creditors for approval. The Plan, however, did not receive
approval of the Court and Envirotech subsequently filed a Motion to Dismiss
the
Chapter 11 proceedings which was granted, with prejudice, on February 28, 2006.
As a result of this dismissal, all claims and judgments of creditors of
Envirotech may be renewed.
Shareholder
Inspection Claim.
In
April 2006 a shareholder purporting to have obtained consent from at least
15%
of the Company’s shareholders filed a lawsuit in the United States District
Court for the District of Nevada (Case No. 2:06-CV-0541-RLH-GWF) seeking
inspection of the Company’s books and records pursuant to Nevada corporate law.
The Court denied plaintiff’s initial request. The Company has asserted several
counterclaims against the plaintiff for tortious conduct and for abuse of the
legal process in connection with the lawsuit. The matter is currently pending.
Shareholder
Derivative Action.
In May
2006 a small group of dissident shareholders (including the plaintiff from
the
Shareholder Inspection Claim) filed a lawsuit in the United States District
Court for the District of Arizona (Case No. CV06-1291-PHX-ROS) as a derivative
action seeking injunctive and declaratory relief. The Company was named only
as
a nominal defendant and there are no claims for monetary damages against the
Company. The primary claims involve the prior issuance of the Company’s common
stock to former consultants to the Company, as well as prior issuances of stock
to certain members of current management. Plaintiffs seek to prevent
these individuals from using their stock and related voting rights to solicit
proxies and notice shareholder meetings, and have demanded that they return
the
shares to the Company. The parties have entered into a “standstill” arrangement
in which the parties agreed to refrain from using their stock and voting rights
in connection with proxy solicitations, shareholder consents, and the noticing
of special shareholder meetings. The matter is currently pending. In addition
to
the foregoing claims, three of the defendants have demanded that the Company
defend and indemnify them from the plaintiffs’ claims.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - continued
Delisting.
Because
the Company has been unable to file this report on a timely basis, including
the
grace period permitted by the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), it
has been delisted from the OTCBB. As a result, the Company’s securities now
trade on the pink sheets until all reports are current. There is no assurance
that the Company will be admitted to trade again on the OTCBB. Due to past
delinquencies in its filings, the Company may be restricted from applying for
listing on the OTCBB for at least a year.
Berry-Shino
Claim.
The
Company has on several occasions during the past three years utilized the
services of Berry-Shino Securities, Inc., Scottsdale, Arizona, in raising
various forms of financing to further its business plan and operations. In
the
course of each of these engagements, the Company has paid Berry-Shino various
fees and expenses and has issued a certain number of shares of its Common Stock
to Berry-Shino. The Company has recently received correspondence from
Berry-Shino stating that it believes it is entitled to be issued an additional
456,500 shares of Common Stock as additional consideration for its services.
The
Company is currently reviewing of validity of the entitlement.
Except
as
noted above, to the best knowledge of the officers and directors of the Company,
neither the Company nor its subsidiaries, nor any of their respective officers
or directors is a party to any material legal proceeding or litigation.

3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
(a)

During
the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company issued five convertible
notes payable, totaling $100,000, which matured in March 2001. These
notes bear interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum. Each note is
subject to automatic conversion at the maturity date. One of these
notes, with a principal amount of $30,000, was converted in November
2006.
As of the date of this filing, the remaining four notes, totaling
$70,000,
have not yet been converted and are in default.
|
(b)
|
Between
January 2004 and January 2005, the Company issued forty notes in
connection with bridge loans made through private placements. The
notes
bear interest at 10%, interest payable quarterly, principal and interest
convertible into one common share for each outstanding $1.00 of principal
and interest. Of these notes, thirty-six have been either repaid
or
converted at December 31, 2005. Of the remaining four notes, three
were
converted in April 2006. The sole remaining note, in the principal
amount
of $15,000 has not been converted or repaid and is in
default.

Envirotech
has five notes with an aggregate principal amount of $833,240, that

4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY
HOLDERS
On
October 21, 2005, through a written consent without a meeting, a majority of
the
shareholders approved a change in the name of Tankless Systems Worldwide, Inc.
to SKYE International, Inc.
In
March
2006, the Company was served with a demand by Dan DeSade, acting on behalf
of
himself and certain other shareholders, purporting to represent shareholders
of
record holding in excess of 15% of the outstanding shares of the Company
(collectively, the “Demand Shareholders”). The Demand Shareholders had signed
authorizations giving Mr. DeSade the authority to demand that the Company permit
an inspection of its books and records pursuant to relevant provisions of Nevada
law. The Company’s Board of Directors denied such demand and took the position
that the actions of Mr. DeSade, specifically, the solicitation of proxies,
were
in contravention of Federal Securities laws, and further, that the demand itself
could not be supported under applicable Nevada law. Subsequently, in April
2006,
Mr. DeSade, representing the Demand Shareholders, filed a petition in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Nevada, case number 2:06-cv-00541-RLH-GWE,
seeking an inspection of the Company’s financial and other records pursuant to
Nevada corporate law. The Company believes the request was not properly made
and
contested that request. The complaint was dismissed on May 22, 2006, but the
plaintiffs were granted leave to re-file the complaint if certain technical
deficiencies are corrected.
On
April
20, 2006, the President of the Company, acting pursuant to Article II section
2
of the Company’s By-laws, having received a demand of shareholders holding in
excess of 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Registrant, called
a
Special Meeting of the common shareholders of the company that was to be held
on
May 31, 2006. The purpose of the special meeting was to:
|
·
|
To
elect directors of Skye to hold office until the succeeding Annual
General
Meeting of Shareholders
|
|
·
|
To
transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting
or
any adjournment or adjournments
thereof.
|
At
its
meeting on May 11, 2006, the Board of Directors postponed the special
shareholders’ meeting until a future date to be established after the Company
has brought its SEC filings current. The Board did not evaluate whether the
meeting was duly called.
