PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Corporate History

US Highland, Inc. (“US Highland” or the “Registrant” or the “Company”) was originally formed as a limited liability company on February 5, 1999 under the name The Powerhouse, L.L.C. pursuant to the laws of the State of Oklahoma. On February 26, 1999, an amendment was filed that changed the name of the entity to Powerhouse Productions, L.L.C.

On November 9, 2006, Powerhouse Productions, L.L.C. filed Articles of Conversion changing the entity from a limited liability company to a corporation under the name US Highland, Inc. On November 29, 2006, articles of amendment to the certificate of incorporation increased the authorized common shares to 100,000,000 with a par value of $0.01 per share.

On January 25, 2010, Articles of Merger were filed with the State of Oklahoma merging U.S. Highland, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation into Harcom Productions, Inc. Pursuant to the Articles of Merger, the name of the corporation was changed from Harcom Productions, Inc. to US Highland, Inc.

Prior Operations

Prior to January 25, 2010, the Registrant offered professional consulting in Music-on-Hold and messaging services as well some equipment sales and consultation services for commercial clients.

Subsequent to the merger with US Highland, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, the Registrant no longer pursued its prior business plan. As a result, the Registrant entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Shane Harwell, an officer and director of the Registrant. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 21, 2009, the Registrant sold all rights, title and interest to the purchased assets to Mr. Harwell for the consideration of 950,000 common shares.

Current Corporate Operations

US Highland is a recreational powersports Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), developing motorcycles, quads, single cylinder engines, and v-twin engines under its own brand and for other OEMs. US Highland moved its manufacturing equipment and tooling to the United States from Sweden and is currently preparing to begin engine assembly operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma beginning in February 2014. The operations will require $2,188,000 over the course of 2014 and will include the launch in February of its single cylinder engines and an early summer 2014 launch of its twin cylinder engines. US Highland requires the services of many manufacturing subcontractors, as is typical for the industry. US Highland is currently operating from a single location in Tulsa, Oklahoma located at 1411 N. 105^th East Avenue in the Pine Industrial complex just southeast of the Tulsa International Airport.

US Highland's business development strategy includes:

- Multinational Business Model. US Highland anticipates launching its manufacturing operations for large and small OEMs in the United States utilizing engineering and technology developed in Sweden.

- OEM Manufacturing. US Highland will develop, license and manufacture small displacement (250cc-1150cc), metric, water-cooled engines for individual customers and both large and small OEM manufacturers and will utilize co-branding and co-marketing activities to further its business development objectives.

- Road Shows. US Highland will utilize road shows to promote its entire line of engines and its brand.

- Media Promotions. US Highland will fully employ both traditional and innovative marketing venues to advertise, promote, and drive US Highland brand awareness utilizing the following:

- Internet promotions

- Trade shows and events, including the Indianapolis Dealer Expo and others

- Trade publication advertisements

- Trade publication editorials and product reviews

- Trade and Business Wire press releases

- Marketing collateral

Products

US Highland products include single and twin cylinder engines from 250cc to 1150cc displacement.

Single and Twin Cylinder Engines – US Highland has four powerful engine platforms two of which are single cylinder engines and two different V-Twin engines. The single cylinder engines come in two varieties: a smaller displacement 250cc and 350cc engines and a larger displacement 350cc, 450cc and 507cc engines. The V-Twin platforms come in two separate types: a 60̊ V-Twin platform including the 750cc and 950cc engines and the 90°  V-Twin platform consisting of the 1050cc and 1150cc engines. These nine engines were developed in US Highland's active race program during the years 2009 and 2010. US Highland proprietary engines are lightweight, high horsepower, and fuel injected. US Highland engines also use the proprietary US Highland throttle body, which delivers smooth, linearly proportional throttle response unlike conventional systems that deliver uneven throttle response.

US Highland also has an entire line of prototype motorcycles, UTVs and ATVs that it will use to develop in the licensing process to establish joint ventures with OEMs interested in pursuing product lines based on these proprietary new technologies. These prototypes consist of the following vehicles which are based on US Highland’s entire family of engine platforms:

- 350cc Entry Level Dual Sport

- 450cc MX, Enduro, & Supermotard

- 507cc MX, Enduro, & Supermotard

- 950cc Street Tracker, Dirt Tracker, Outback, & Urban Assault

- 1050cc Viking

- Quads/ATVs/UTVs of various sizes

Intellectual Property and Trademarks

US Highland owns the intellectual property corresponding to the 350cc, 450cc, 507cc, 750cc, 950cc engines and was granted  limited intellectual property rights to an 1150cc engine by Folan AB. The 1150cc is limited to the right to modify, manufacture and sell the 1150cc engine into the flat bottom boat market exclusively in the United States. US Highland has also developed a unique throttle body which allows "linear proportional air flow" control to the engine. Conventional throttle bodies do not have linear response, requiring operators to mentally adjust to uneven response from the throttle. US Highland owns US Registered Trademark “HIGHLAND”, which is the subject of U. S. Trademark Registration No. 2,362,734 which was issued on June 27, 2000. US Highland has also applied on December 20, 2011 for two additional US Registered Trademarks, “POWERED BY US HIGHLAND” on December 19, 2011 and “AMERICAN MADE PERFORMANCE”.

The Market, Sales, and Business Development

US Highland has created the following market analysis using information gathered from Dealer Net, Motorcycle Industry Council and JD Powers & Associates.

US Highland Target Markets

US Highland is in the business to manufacture and sell water-cooled, fuel injected small displacement metric engines through 3 sales channels. US Highland will target the global dual purpose, ATV, UTV, off-road and on-road motorcycle markets with its initial market entry of a 450cc single cylinder and 950cc twin cylinder fully capitalizing on its current product offering. These market segments are to be reached through direct consumer selling, wholesale, custom builders and OEM sales channels.  US Highland has plans to sell a total of 6 engines based off of the single cylinder and twin cylinder platforms.

Industry Analysis

Market data for the motorcycle industry shows that the industry is growing in most global market segments, with Europe showing flat sales, illustrating generally positive expected performance of the powersports industry for the next 5+ years. It is important to note that 45% for on-road motorcycles, 45% for ATV plus 10% for off-road motorcycles show a good balance within the powersports industry. Honda, Harley Davidson and Polaris Industries are the largest OEMs for many global markets.  Estimated new unit sales for the U.S. powersport market is 1.4mm units annually. [1]   US Highland management believes the metric parts and accessory sales volume to be approximately $3.6B annually. US Highland has chosen the U.S. market as its primary target and domicile market.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) Cycle

The OEM motorcycle market is a cyclical business, with the largest sales occurring during late summer and fall for next years models.  Time to market for new products can be 8-14 months before final units are produced, tested and capable of delivery to the public. Finished goods can remain selling for 5+ years, before model changes are needed.

On-Road Motorcycles Market

Comparisons between the dirt bike sales forecast and the total motorcycle sales forecast illustrates that on-road or street motorcycles represent a much larger market segment, by a ratio of 4.5:1. Harley Davidson continues to have the largest market share of this market segment. [2] 

On-Road Seasonality

On-road seasonality is even more severe than off-road seasonality. In the on-road market segment, summer month sales are the strongest, though spring sales are within 20-30% of summer sales. Winter sales are as much as 75% lower than summer sales.

Dual Sport Market

2012 data indicates this segment as the fastest growing segment, with the largest gains. US Highland engines are dual purpose ready.

Wholesale/Custom Builder Market

With the growing and positive movement in product customization, US Highland management estimates that more “NEW” powersport manufactures will be entering the market than ever before.  Currently no other US supplier offers 250cc-1150cc metric engines available for sale.  US Highland management believes that by comparison the V-Twin market is offering products sold specifically for the On-Road market, the estimated market size for the V-Twin parts and accessory market is $1.6B annually.  US Highland will fully capitalize on this market opportunity and offer metric engines for the use in any type of powersport product representing 4 times the available sales of the V-Twin market.

Pricing Analysis

Purchasing is very different between sales channels.  Where OEM customers are high volume and low margin and consumer direct sales will be low volume with higher margin.  US Highland will see the benefit of working all 3 sales channels (consumer direct, wholesale and OEM) to lower parts prices and increase margin for consumer direct sales. 

Sales

US Highland targets global OEM providers, looking for high quality performance motorcycles and ATVs engines.  Sales through established dealer networks and custom builders are critical to any powersports company success. US Highland has established relationships with many wholesale builders. US Highland has an aggressive digital media strategy aimed at the direct consumer.  Product can be directly purchased and supported online.

Business Development

Developing strong relationships with global motorcycle manufacturers has been a major focus of the company over the past year. This effort is starting to pay off as US Highland hopes to announce a major Memorandum of Understanding in the second quarter of 2014 with a major powersports manufacturer that will utilize US Highland engines in their final products.

US Highland and its executives have a long history with other powersports OEMs. As a technology provider, US Highland is often perceived by other manufacturers as an engine supplier rather than a competitor.

Strategic Location

Tulsa, Oklahoma

We have strategically located the manufacturing and distribution portions of the business to Tulsa, retaining Rollox AB to provide enhanced product development, testing and engineering activities from its facilities in Sweden. Rollox provides US Highland with engineering and product development services on a contract for services basis including the use of its engine and vehicle dyno laboratory for initial product testing and to assure product readiness for EPA certification and durability. Tulsa, Oklahoma is located relatively centrally in the United States. Tulsa is a recognized major North American shipping hub with several major interstate highways, railways, and an international airport. The following are road-based shipping distances to other major shipping hubs:

- Dallas: 257 miles

- Detroit: 947 miles

- Jacksonville: 1070 miles

- Los Angeles: 1437 miles

- Milwaukee: 771 miles

- New York City: 1348 miles

- Salt Lake City: 1206 miles

Tulsa was the original oil capital of the United States before Texas gained this status. Tulsa remains a significant producer and refiner of oil. Since the oil and gas industry requires so much equipment and equipment repair, Tulsa has a large manufacturing base, including manufacturing space, skilled labor, management and engineering talent, manufacturing equipment suppliers and service centers, and large subcontractor base for a wide variety of manufacturing services from surface coatings and heat treatments to precision machining, casting, and forging.

Subcontracting

Many subcontractors are required for the high variety of components required to produce engine products. US Highland uses subcontractors for tool and die work, casting, various complex machining operations, and various other capital intensive or low ROI operations which would therefore be unwise to perform in house. Vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors are pre-qualified by US Highland's quality and purchasing personnel. Suppliers must meet minimum capability, lead time, and quality requirements to be eligible to participate in US Highland's vendor and subcontractor pool. US Highland utilizes an internally developed Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) that ensures that suppliers are not only capable of producing high quality parts but also capable of scaling up production without a degradation of quality.

Final Assembly and Quality Assurance

Final assembly and quality assurance are overseen by US Highland's award winning engine designer and director of manufacturing, Steven “Posie” Pfaff, whose 120 cubic inch square block engine won engine of the year in 2011. The engine technicians are selected from a pool of highly skilled work force out of the aerospace and manufacturing support industries long associated with Tulsa’s strong growth in quality oriented manufacturing jobs.

Logistics

US Highland has in-house experts in logistics and supply chain management. These experts monitor product flow from vendors and subcontractors and to customers.

Manufacturing Management

A significant percentage of the overall budget of US Highland each year is used to support manufacturing operations, either for new product development prototyping or volume production, competent management is essential. US Highland's manufacturing managers have extensive experience in lean manufacturing as practiced in the Toyota Production System, quality assurance, MRP/ERP, Six Sigma, costing system optimization, and the various other disciplines required to operate a lean, profitable, and responsive manufacturing operation.

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report, including statements regarding the anticipated development and expansion of our business, our intent, belief or current expectations, primarily with respect to our future operating performance and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are "forward-looking" statements. Future filings with the SEC, future press releases and future oral or written statements made by us or with our approval, which are not statements of historical fact, may contain forward-looking statements, because such statements include risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Overview

The Company is a recreational powersports original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), which develops motorcycles, quads, single cylinder engines, and v-twin engines under its own brand and for other OEMs.

8

Results of Operations

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011

Revenues

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had no revenues, as compared with total revenues of $12,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to the change in the Company’s business plan and operations from communications to recreational power sports, the engineering development of its motorcycles and engines, and the loss of the lives of key executives as a result of an aircraft accident. The 2011 revenues consisted of engineering services.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $3,438,483, which was comprised primarily of $903,278 for general and administrative expenses, $1,154,179 for professional expenses and $1,194,163 for consulting expenses as compared to operating expenses of $1,693,760 for the year ended December 31, 2011, which was comprised primarily of $280,859 for general and administrative expenses, $435,007 for professional expenses and $907,739 for consulting expenses.  The main components of the increase in general and administrative expenses were an increase in payroll of $341,341 and an increase in rent and utilities of $114,144. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $622,419 and professional fees of $719,172 resulted primarily from the fact that 2012 was the first full year of operations following the corporate restructuring as a result of the accident in 2010 as compared to four months of operations in fiscal 2011.

Net Loss

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $6,809,825, compared to net loss of $1,397,191 for the year ended 2011. The loss in fiscal 2012 includes $3,472,010 in interest expense and $4,044,231 loss on change in fair value of derivatives, offset by a gain on settlement of debt of $4,145,969. The loss in fiscal 2011 includes the issuance of common stock for compensation and services of $688,000 and $276,107 in interest expense, offset by a gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $658,030. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2012, we had cash of $10,498 and a working capital deficiency of $1,789,455. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing, upon cash generated from our operations and our ability to borrow cash when needed from related parties. We estimated that we will require $2,188,000 over the twelve month period ending December 31, 2014. Management believes that our cash balance will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. We plan to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirement for the next twelve months primarily through equity and or debt financings. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements.  

We cannot be certain that the required additional financing will be available or available on terms favorable to us. We currently do not have any arrangements or commitments in place for any other financings. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of our securities, existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our operations.

During fiscal 2012, we used $2,006,775 in cash in operating activities and paid $33,271 to acquire property and equipment.  This compares to fiscal 2011 when we used $978,167 in cash in operating activities and paid $6,713 to acquire property and equipment. We received proceeds of $1,720,000 from the issuance of notes payable and convertible debt during fiscal 2012, as compared to $1,109,400 in fiscal 2011.  We made cash repayments of $10,000 for notes payable in fiscal 2012 as compared to $70,939 in fiscal 2011.

As of December 31, 2012 we did not have any established lines of credit with any banks or any other arrangements, agreements, or commitments for financing our operations.

Going Concern

The Company has no revenues and has incurred a net loss of approximately $6,809,825 for the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, at December 31, 2012, there is an accumulated deficit of $53,096,829.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

9

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or available from external sources such as debt or equity financings, or other potential sources. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources will force the Company to substantially curtail and cease operations, therefore, having a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any funds, if available, will possess attractive terms or not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders. 

There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, its independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the consolidated financial statements regarding concerns about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to the auditor’s opinion. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-balance sheet arrangements: 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of US Highland, Inc.

Tulsa, Oklahoma

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of US Highland, Inc as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012. US Highland, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of US Highland, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements for December 31, 2012 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully noted in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred the substantial accumulated deficits and operating losses and has a working capital deficiency of $1,746,849. These conditions raise substantial doubt the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.         Nature of Operations

US Highland, Inc. was originally formed as a Limited Liability Company on February 5, 1999 under the name The Powerhouse, L.L.C. pursuant to the laws of the State of Oklahoma.  On November 9, 2006, Powerhouse Productions, L.L.C. filed Articles of Conversion changing the entity from a limited liability company to a corporation under the name Harcom Productions, Inc.  On January 25, 2010, Articles of Merger were filed with the state of Oklahoma merging U.S. Highland, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation into Harcom Productions, Inc. and the name of the corporation was changed to US Highland, Inc. US Highland, Inc. (the “Company”) is a recreational power sports Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), developing motorcycles, quads, single cylinder engines, and v-twin engines under its own brand and for other OEMs.

Going concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going-concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and as of December 31, 2012, current liabilities exceed current assets by $1,789,455, and the Company has a deficit of $53,096,829. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain adequate funding to support its operations through continuing investments of debt and/or equity by qualified investors/creditors, internally generated working capital and monetization of intellectual property assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a)        Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, US Highlands Electric Inc.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 

b)       Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities, deferred income tax asset valuations, fair values of financial instruments and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

c)        Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

d)       Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired as follows:
  

e)        Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs of $22,208 and $0 are included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

f)        Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by US generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and.

Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, loans payable and convertible debentures. Derivative liabilities are determined based on “Level 3” inputs, which are significant and unobservable and have the lowest priority. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. See Note 7 for additional information.

g)       Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

The fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant is estimated using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Options granted to consultants are valued based at the fair value of the service received by the Company unless the amount is not readily determinable, in which case they are valued using the Black-Scholes model.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

h)       Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the year. The calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and other stock-based compensation, which are included in diluted earnings per share. When a company is in a loss situation, all outstanding dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings because their inclusion would be antidilutive; and the basic and fully diluted common shares outstanding are stated to be the same.

i)         Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

j)         Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely that not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the period presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

k)       Revenue Recognition

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which superseded SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB No. 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

l)         Advertising 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Such costs totaled approximately $13,159 and $10,351 for 2012 and 2011, respectively.

m)      Concentration of Business and Credit risk

The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions which currently are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.  There were no sales during the year ending December 31, 2012. Sales to one customer represented 100% of the Company’s total sales for the year ending December 31, 2011.

n)       Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

3.     Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is comprised of:

For The Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
(Expressed in US dollars)

5.     Long-term Debt

At December 31, 2010, long-term debt was comprised of a $27,047 installment note payable to Security Bank, bearing interest at 6.8% and due on September 1, 2013.  At December 31, 2010, $9,000 of the note was due within the next year.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company settled the note through the sale of the vehicle that secured the note.

6.     Convertible Debentures

a)        Effective January 25, 2010, the Company issued a convertible note for $225,000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and was due on December 21, 2010.  The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a variable conversion price equal to 65% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock during the 28 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice and is subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments.  Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the derivative liability of $538,249 resulted in a full discount to the note payable of $225,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $313,249. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the convertible note had been fully accreted over the term up to the face value of the convertible note.

On June 2, 2010, the Company issued 6,386 post-reverse split restricted shares of common stock upon the conversion of the principal amount of $166,667. The fair value of the derivative liability at June 2, 2010, was $266,425 and $197,352 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon conversion. During the year ended December 31, 2010, $225,000 of interest expense had been recorded. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying value of the note is $58,333. The Company did not repay the remaining outstanding principal on the maturity date.

b)       Effective May 18, 2011, the Company issued a convertible note for $700,000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan is unsecured, bears interest at 10% and is due on May 18, 2012.  The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a variable conversion price equal to 75% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice and is subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments.  Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the derivative liability of $840,018 resulted in a full discount to the note payable of $700,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $140,018. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded accretion of the discount of $125,937, increasing the carrying value of the convertible note to $125,938.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had accrued interest of $37,359.

On June 1, 2012, the Company entered into an amended securities purchase agreement and received additional proceeds of $150,000.  Pursuant to the amended securities purchase agreement, the Company issued a new convertible note (the “2012 Note”) for total aggregate proceeds received of $850,000.  The 2012 Note bears interest at 10% per annum and all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the modified note shall be due and payable on June 1, 2013.  The 2012 Note is convertible, at any time, in whole or in part into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $0.045 per share.  In addition, the Company issued the lender a warrant to purchase 212,500 shares of the Company’s common stock for three years at an exercise price equal to the lower of $0.20 per share or 75% of the average closing bid price for the 30 trading days preceding the exercise date.

As the present value of the future cash flows was well over 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it was determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different and the Company treated the original convertible note as extinguished and exchanged for a new convertible note. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded accretion of the discount of the original note to the modification date of $574,064.  The fair value of the modified debt was compared to the carrying value of the old debt and the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,744,770. 

The net proceeds of $850,000 of the 2012 Note were allocated based on the relative fair values of the convertible note and the warrants issued at time of issuance. The Company allocated $210,000 of the net proceeds to the warrants.  This resulted in a warrant derivative liability of $210,000 and the convertible debt is initially recorded at $640,000 (net of the discount that arises from the allocation of proceeds to the warrants $210,000).   The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $640,000 as additional-paid-in capital and an equivalent discount that reduced the carrying value of the convertible debt to $Nil. 

On July 12, 2012, the Company settled the 2012 Note by issuing 18,888,889 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The recorded $850,000 of accretion relating to the discount on the 2012 Note as the Company recognized the unamortized discount as interest expense upon conversion.

6.     Convertible Debentures (continued)

c)        Effective December 21, 2011, the Company issued a $350,000 convertible note and 11,667 post-reverse split warrants to purchase 11,667 post-reverse split shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the

loan is unsecured, bears interest at 10% and is due on December 21, 2012.  The Company received additional subscriptions of $650,000 and issued an additional $650,000 of convertible notes and 21,667 post-reverse split warrants to purchase 21,667 post-reverse split shares of the Company’s common stock in fiscal 2012

The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a variable conversion price equal to 75% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice and is subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments.  The warrants are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a variable conversion price equal to the lower of $6.00 per post-reverse split share and 75% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice and is subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments. Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the conversion feature of $418,939 and warrants of $146,864, resulted in a discount to the note payable of $350,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $215,803. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded accretion of the discount of $6,008, increasing the carrying value of the convertible note to $6,008.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had accrued interest of $4,999.

On June 1, 2012, the Company entered into an amended securities purchase agreement and received additional proceeds of $150,000.  Pursuant to the amended securities purchase agreement, the Company issued a new convertible note (the “Second 2012 Note”) for total aggregate proceeds received of $1,150,000.  The Second 2012 Note bears interest at 10% per annum and all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the modified note shall be due and payable on June 1, 2013.  The 2012 Note is convertible, at any time, in whole or in part into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $0.045 per share.  In addition, the Company issued the lender a warrant to purchase 287,500 shares of the Company’s common stock for three years at an exercise price equal to the lower of $0.20 per share, or 75% of the average Closing Bid Price for the 30 trading days preceding the exercise date.

As the present value of the future cash flows was well over 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it is determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different and the Company treated the original convertible note as extinguished and exchanged for a new convertible note. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded accretion of the discount of the original note to the modification date of $109,553.  The fair value of the modified debt was compared to the carrying value of the old debt and the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,711,361. 

The net proceeds of $1,150,000 of the Second 2012 Note were allocated based on the relative fair values of the convertible note and the warrants issued at time of issuance. The Company allocated $284,100 of the net proceeds to the warrants.  This resulted in a warrant derivative liability of $284,100 and the convertible debt is initially recorded at $865,900 (net of the discount that arises from the allocation of proceeds to the warrants $284,100).   The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $865,900 as additional-paid-in capital and an equivalent discount that reduced the carrying value of the convertible debt to $Nil. 

On July 12, 2012, the Company settled the 2012 Note by issuing 25,555,556 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company recorded recognized the unamortized discount as interest expense upon conversion.

d)       During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued a convertible note for $500,000 and 250,000 warrants to purchase 250,000 post-reverse split shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan is unsecured, bears interest at 10% and is due on April 1, 2013.  The warrants are exercisable into common shares of the Company at the lower of $0.20 or 75% of the average closing bid price of the 30 trading days immediately preceding the exercise date.  The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a variable conversion price equal to 75% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice and is subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments. 

Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the conversion feature of $595,788 and warrants of $252,373, resulted in a discount to the note payable of $500,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $348,161.

6.     Convertible Debentures (continued)

On June 1, 2012, the Company entered into an amended securities purchase agreement and received additional proceeds of $150,000.  Pursuant to the amended securities purchase agreement, the Company issued a new convertible note (the “Third 2012 Note”) for total aggregate proceeds received of $650,000.  The Third 2012 Note bears interest at 10% per annum and all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the modified note shall be due and payable on June 1, 2013.  The Third 2012 Note is convertible, at any time, in whole or in part into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $0.045 per share.  In addition, the Company issued the lender a warrant to purchase 162,500 shares of the Company’s common stock for three years at an exercise price equal to the lower of $0.20 per share, or 75% of the average Closing Bid Price for the 30 trading days preceding the exercise date.

As the present value of the future cash flows was well over 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it is determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different and the Company treated the original convertible note as extinguished and exchanged for a new convertible note. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded accretion of the discount of the original note to the modification date of $9,379.  The fair value of the modified debt was compared to the carrying value of the old debt and the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $732,909. 

The net proceeds of $650,000 of the Third 2012 Note were allocated based on the relative fair values of the convertible note and the warrants issued at time of issuance. The Company allocated $140,400 of the net proceeds to the warrants.  This resulted in a warrant derivative liability of $140,400 and the convertible debt is initially recorded at $509,600 (net of the discount that arises from the allocation of proceeds to the warrants $140,400).   The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $509,600 as additional-paid-in capital and an equivalent discount that reduced the carrying value of the convertible debt to $Nil. 

On July 12, 2012, the Company settled the 2012 Note by issuing 14,444,444 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company recorded recognized the unamortized discount as interest expense upon conversion. The recorded $1,150,000 of accretion relating to the discount on the 2012 Note as the Company recognized the unamortized discount as interest expense upon conversion.

7.     Derivative Liabilities

The embedded conversion options of the Company’s convertible debentures described in Note 6 contain conversion features that qualify for embedded derivative classification.  The warrants described in Notes 6(c), 6(d) and 9 also qualify for derivative classification.  The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:

7.     Derivative Liabilities (continued)

The following table summarizes the change in fair value of derivatives:

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on various assumptions.   The model incorporates the price of a share of the Company’s common stock (as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:

11.  Income Taxes

Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. The Company did not incur any income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. At December 31, 2012, $6,836,009 of federal and state net operating losses were available to the Company to offset future taxable income, which will expire commencing in 2030. Given the short history of the Company and the uncertainty as to the likelihood of future taxable income, the Company has recorded a 100% valuation reserve against the anticipated recovery from the use of the net operating losses created at the inception or generated thereafter. The Company will evaluate the appropriateness of the valuation allowance on an annual basis and adjust the allowance as considered necessary.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation 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 (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of December 31, 2012, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

The Company had not filed its quarterly reports or any annual reports with the SEC since the third quarter of 2011.  Management intends to implement internal controls to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future and that required SEC filings will be timely. Management has retained the services of a new accounting firm, as well as an auditing firm specializing in public companies and a strong reputation in the auditing community. We have also hired a highly qualified Chief Financial Officer with extensive experience with public companies in the manufacturing industry. This newly implemented three tier process ties the Company’s bookkeeping activities with a full service accounting firm that handles all financial reporting activities and the Company’s interface with the selected auditing firm.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting: 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:  

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the 1992 framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on our assessment, our management has concluded that, as of the year ended December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics for all of our employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, and directors.  Our codes of business conduct and ethics are available on our Web site at www.ushighland.com. 

Our Web site and the information contained therein or incorporated therein are not intended to be incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or our other filings with the SEC.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have a financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company has only five directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

31

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings that have occurred within the past ten years concerning our directors, or control persons which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one's participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.
