Disastrous 10K.

On August 4, 2015, the Company borrowed $50,000 pursuant to a promissory note. The note was due on September 4, 2015. The note bears interest at 120% per annum prior September 4, 2015, and at 180% per annum after September 4, 2015. The holder of the note was also granted the rights to buy 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.15 per share until August 4, 2017. Subsequent to the August 31, 2015, the Company repaid $35,000 of the outstanding principal and the note is in default.

A 180% interest loan of $50k? EcoMike, how come they can't get a bank loan at 8%? Jesus, $50k? Must have been a deal with an 'insider' .. I'd LOVE to loan money at that rate to somebody.

Also, it seems Alstom doesn't want to poney up more cash to see Phases 4 & 5 move ahead. Instead Mantra is applying for government grants. That's doesn't instill a lot of confidence in this shareholder.

Also, this is hardly good news (but not surprising for the objective people here):

Until appropriate cathodes are found some products of CO2 reduction (methanol, for instance) are obtained at efficiencies too low for practical use

Huh, so more R&D required to make the process viable???

We anticipate that commercialization of ERC will require us to develop reactors capable of processing not less than 100 tons of CO2 per day; however, there is no guarantee that we will successfully produce reactors of that size. Production of commercially viable ERC reactors will depend on continued research and development...

On the MFRC, I found this amusing:

Much of our research budget and activity over the period of January to May 2015 was dedicated to the design and construction of this scooter and the subsequent production of the demonstration video

We expect that our total expenses will increase over the next year as we increase our business operations, which is subject to raising additional funds, for which we currently have no commitments. We have not been able to reach the break-even point since our inception and have had to rely on outside capital resources. We do not anticipate making significant revenues for the next year. Over the next 12 months, subject to raising additional funds, we plan to primarily concentrate on commercializing our ERC technology and associated projects

we need additional financing of approximately $4,600,000for the next 12 months. In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity financing from private placement sales of our equity securities or shareholders’ loans. We do not presently have sufficient financing to undertake our planned business activities. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders

our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of August 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information 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 SEC rules
