Overview
Cool Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary, ("the Company" or "Cool Technologies" or
"CoolTech") was incorporated in the State of Nevada in July 2002. In April 2014,
CoolTech formed Ultimate Power Truck, LLC ("Ultimate Power Truck" or "UPT"), of
which the Company owns 95% and a shareholder of Cool Technologies owns 5%. Cool
Technologies was formerly known as Bibb Corporation, as Z3 Enterprises, and as
HPEV, Inc. On August 20, 2015, the Company changed its name to Cool
Technologies, Inc.
The Company's technologies are divided into two distinct but complementary
categories: mobile power generation and heat dispersion technology.
The Company has developed a mobile power generation system (MG) that enables
work trucks to generate electric power by running an in-chassis generator. The
MG system can be retrofit onto new and existing American trucks. CoolTech
intends to sell the mobile electric power system to government, commercial and
fleet vehicle owners. Sales are expected to occur through the direct efforts of
the Company, its sales agents and its joint venture partners. CoolTech may also
license the MG system as well.
The markets targeted include consumer, agricultural, industrial, military and
emergency responders, both in the U.S. and worldwide.
CoolTech has also developed heat dispersion technologies based on proprietary
composite heat structures and heat pipe architecture in various product
platforms such as electric motors, pumps, turbines, bearings and vehicle
components. In preparation, Cool Technologies filed for and received a trademark
for Totally Enclosed Heat Pipe Cooled: TEHPC.
When a generator is enhanced by CoolTech's patented thermal technologies, it
should be able to output more power than any other generator of its size on the
market. That's because third party testing has demonstrated that the cooling
provided by the thermal technologies can help increase the efficiency of
electric motors.
Furthermore, management believes that the technologies will increase the
lifespan as well as help meet regulatory emissions standards for electric motors
and other heat producing equipment and components. The simplicity of the heat
pipe architecture as well as the fact that it provides effective new
applications for existing manufacturing processes should enhance the cost
structure in several large industries including motor/generator and engine
manufacturing.
As of July 1, 2020, we have seven US patents, one Canadian patent, two granted
patents (1 Mexican, 1 Canadian) and two pending applications (1 in the US, 1 in
Brazil) covering composite heat structures, motors, and related structures, heat
pipe architecture, and applications (commonly referred to as "thermal" or "heat
dispersion technology"). We also have one Patent Cooperation Treaty ("PCT")
application pending that covers integrated electrical power generation methods
and systems.
The Company intends to commercialize its patents by integrating the thermal
technologies and applications with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
partners and by licensing them to electric motor, generator, pump and vehicle
component (brake, resistor, caliper) manufacturers.
We believe the benefits of our mobile power generation systems are quickly
realized once potential customers see it in operation. Public demonstrations of
the MG systems began in April 2017. An inspection and performance demonstration
for Mexican government officials and business leaders occurred in May 2018.
Feedback from initial viewers resulted in more government officials and fruit
growers coming to see the MG power equipment and to learn about the water
purification options in March 2019. Even more officials and growers followed --
flying to St. Louis for a review in May 2019.
We generated our first Mobile Generation order during the quarter ended June 30,
2014 and received a partial deposit in advance of completing the sale. On June
9, 2017, the Company received a purchase order for 10 MG systems from Craftsmen
Industries. As Craftsmen builds custom vehicles designed to the individual
specifications of their customers whose businesses and technical requirements
vary widely, it is impossible to estimate when the order will be fulfilled.

Table of Contents
In November 2017, the Company received a purchase commitment for 234 MG systems
from a Mexican Producers' Union. That was followed by a purchase commitment for
24 to 50 MG units from a second Mexican Producers' Union in December 2017. On
April 9, 2018, the first Mexican Producers' Union executed a purchase order with
the Company for 10 Ford F350s with MG80 kVA systems installed. On May 7, 2019,
Turkish technology company Belirti Teknoloji, A.S. delivered a purchase order
for six hundred MG80, MG125 and MG200 Mobile Generation systems. As of the June
1, 2020, the Company does not have the funds available to fulfill the orders.
Craftsmen Industries was selected to produce the first systems due to its
engineering capabilities and extensive facilities. In January 2019, it began
production on the initial vehicles and completed an initial production run
vehicle two months later.
We have not generated any revenues to date. Consequently, there can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to generate new orders nor fulfill the
existing ones nor address all the requirements of all the interested parties.
Management is pursuing various financing alternatives, based upon a third-party
assessment of the historically demonstrated or contractually committed
profit-earning capacities of our IP. We see this as the best path forward for
non-dilutive funding.
If funding is received, it will be used to support completion of the initial
phases of our business plan, which is to license our thermal technologies and
applications; to license or sell a mobile electric power system; and to license
our submersible motor dry pit technologies and/or to bring to market our
technologies and applications through key distribution and joint venture
partners. As of the filing date, it is uncertain whether COVID-19 will have a
significant impact on production and distribution of Company products.
The occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID19 pandemic has
negatively affected our operations. A pandemic typically results in social
distancing, travel bans and quarantine. This has limited access to our
facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors.
These, in turn, have impacted our operations and financial condition. It may
also impact demand for our products and may continue to hamper our efforts to
provide our investors with timely information and comply with our filing
obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Recent Developments
National Union of Jatropha Producers
In November 2017, the Company received a purchase commitment for 234 MG systems
from the National Union of Producers of Jatropha in Mexico (Jatropha).
Jatropha has established a center for processing oil from Jatropha seeds for
biofuel production. Through their union of producers, Jatropha plans to
introduce the MG and promote the product to their supplier network.
The purchase commitment stipulates that CoolTech will furnish Jatropha with an
MG80 retro-fitted onto a Ford F-350 truck within 60 business days of the signed
of the agreement. To ensure the system is optimized to meet Jatropha's needs,
CoolTech set the terms of the agreement to allow both teams to gather data and
provide performance feedback another 30 to 60 days. Upon completion of this
period, Jatropha will release the balance of the order for 233 units. Payment
terms require 50% down and 50% at time of shipment, FOB (Freight on Board) from
Cool Technologies' dock.
On February 6, 2018, Jatropha signed an agreement to amend their previous
purchase agreement. It eliminates the 60 business day deadline for the truck to
be shipped to Mexico. Under the new agreement, representatives from Jatropha
will come to Colorado for an inspection and live performance demonstration. If
approved, the generator-equipped trucks will go into production as specified in
the original purchase agreement.

Table of Contents
A representative of the National Union of Jatropha Producers approved the
generator-equipped truck. It will go into production as the Company and Jatropha
secure final funding.
On April 11, 2019, Jatropha signed an addendum to update the terms and
conditions originally set forth in the Agreement of Principal Terms dated
November 7, 2017. In light of the higher electrical output and new options
offered by the Company, Jatropha amended its purchase commitment to include 50
MG80 (80 kVA) Systems with mobile desalination units capable of producing 2500
gallons of fresh water per day, 100 MG125 (125 kVA) systems, 50 MG200 (200 kVA)
Systems and 50 HydroQubes (a hydrogen infusion system that improves fuel
economy) composed of 2 cells. The addendum states that CoolTech shall start
production and fulfillment of the orders no later than the 3rd Quarter of 2019.
The value of the purchase commitment is expected to be between $17,000,000 and
$22,000,000. On April 9, 2018, Jatropha executed a purchase order with the
Company for 10 Ford F-350s with MG80 kVA systems installed. The value of the
initial order is in excess of one million dollars. Completion of the order is
dependent upon Jatropha securing a letter of credit within 45 days of the order.
The process of securing the letter of credit is underway (See 'Mexican
Government' heading below) and the Company is not enforcing the timeline set
forth in the order.
National Union of Producers in Mexico for the state of Veracruz
In December 2017, the Company received a purchase commitment for 24 to 50 MG
units from the National Union of Producers in Mexico for the state of Veracruz.
Depending on the respective numbers of MG55 and MG80 kVA systems ordered, the
Company expects the value of the commitment to range between $1,200,000 and
$3,900,000.
The union represents farmers who grow labor and energy intensive crops such as
sugar cane, tobacco, bananas, coffee, rice and vanilla. It expects that the MG
systems will increase yields, exports and incomes for its members and their
communities.
According to the contract, the Company will deliver an MG 80 retro-fitted onto a
Ford F-350 truck within 60 business days.
On February 23, 2018, Veracruz signed an agreement to amend their previous
purchase agreement. It eliminates the 60 business day deadline for the truck to
be shipped to Mexico. Under the new agreement, representatives from Veracruz
will come to Colorado for an inspection and live performance demonstration. If
approved, the generator-equipped trucks will go into production as specified in
the original purchase agreement.
A representative of the National Union of Jatropha Producers approved the
generator-equipped truck. It will go into production as the Company and Veracruz
secure final funding.
Payment terms require 50% down and 50% at time of shipment, each payable with a
bank letter of credit. Product delivery will be considered FOB (Freight on
Board) from Cool Technologies' shipping dock.
Aon Risk Services Central, Inc and Lee and Hayes, PLLC
In January 18, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Aon Risk
Services Central, Inc. and Lee and Hayes, PLLC, through its operating unit,
601West, which provides intellectual property ("IP") analytics, to assess the
value of the Company's IP. As set forth in the agreement, the assessment will be
founded on historically demonstrated or contractually committed profit-earning
capacities of the IP and may be used to obtain financing, including but not
limited to, non-dilutive financing. The Company is using the valuation to obtain
non-dilutive funding.
Live MG80 Demonstration in Fort Collins, Colorado
On May 4, 2018, nine representatives from Mexico's farming, banking, and
government sectors flew to Fort Collins, Colorado for a live demonstration of
CoolTech's generator-equipped truck. The demonstration showcased the
capabilities and ease of operation of the system. The Company demonstrated how
an operator is able to control the generator from the comfort and safety of the
truck's cab using a Panasonic Toughpad. The Company also used the electricity
from the truck to power a screw compressor, an industrial fan, and an industrial
load bank. Additional capabilities, such as purifying water and using batteries
and solar power to make operations more sustainable and environmentally friendly
were discussed with the attendees.
A representative of the National Union of Jatropha Producers approved the
generator-equipped truck. CoolTech plans to put this into production as soon as
final funding is secured. Based on initial feedback and subsequent meetings and
conversations with other attendees, the Company expects the demonstration will
lead to new orders.

Unveiling of Initial Production Run Vehicle
On March 27, 2019 the Company unveiled the initial production run of its Mobile
Generation (MG) work trucks for inspection by an audience of agricultural and
community leaders from Latin America at Craftsmen Industries.
The itinerary for the showcase event included a tour of the St Louis
manufacturing facility and inspection of the first production run MG vehicle in
operation as it powered a variety of equipment.
The purpose of the viewing was not only to show the truck's capabilities, but to
get feedback from the attendees and learn what are their specific needs and
applications as well as what features and functions are important to them.
The Company believes Latin American politicians, factory owners and fruit
growers will attend a similar inspection in St. Louis, Missouri in May.
Mexican Government
Fulfillment of payment terms for both the Jatropha orders and the Veracruz
purchase commitment require the participation of the Mexican government as it is
a major source of funding for both unions.
On April 25, 2019, the CEO of the Company flew to Mexico City to meet with the
Secretaries of Energy, Agriculture and the Environment for the new
administration as well as federal deputies and representatives.
On May 13, 2019, government officials and fruit growers were at Craftsmen
Industries in St. Louis for a review of a first run MG80 production vehicle and
water purification/desalination options.
Introduction of new options
During the past quarter, the Company has introduced new options which include an
MG System that generates up to 200 kVA of electric power, water purification and
desalination systems.
The truck-mounted water purification and desalination units can produce from
2,800 to 10,000 gallons of fresh water every day. Assuming the average person
needs 2 liters per day, 10,000 gallons is enough for 18,927 people.
A 30 kVA MG system could power any size unit as well as the pumps to deliver the
water or five units at once which would conceivably be enough to keep the
population of Santa Barbara hydrated. It could even tow a 1,250 gallon water
tanker, if needed.
The purification and desalinization units feature fully automated controls and
monitoring. When combined with the optional telematics offered in the vehicles,
each unit could be remotely controlled and monitored from distant locations.
Belirti Teknoloji
On May 7, 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement ("JV") with
Turkish technology company Belirti Teknoloji, A.S. ("BelirtiTech"). To launch
the business, BelirtiTech awarded Cool Technologies a purchase order for up to
$42 million USD for the purchase of several different models of its Mobile
Generation kits. The purchase order will supply the JV with its initial
inventory for resale into the Middle East and some African nations. The Company
is actively working with the customer's bank in addition to insurance companies
and other financial entities to facilitate the financing of the orders. As of
the date of this filing, the funds to fulfill the orders are not in place.
24
Table of Contents
The initial purchase order is for six hundred MG80, MG125 and MG200 Mobile
Generation systems. The MG systems will be integrated into the end customer's
choice of vehicles.
The order also includes an additional MG80 installed in a Ford F-450 with the
2,500 gallon per day mobile water desalinization option included.
KeyOptions
On May 30, 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement ("JV") with
KeyOptions Pty Ltd., a privately held technology and security provider based in
Victoria, Australia.
KeyOptions develops and markets products for governments, defense contractors
and other commercial applications to counter security and cyber threats. The
Company will provide a license for the JV to market and sell CoolTech's entire
product platform in Australia and neighboring countries in Southeast Asia.
New Strategic Alliance:
On December 16, 2019, the Company signed a cross marketing and licensing
agreement with VerdeWatts, LLC., an energy generation and storage company
encompassing everything from mobile solar power generation systems to large
scale biogas turbine installations. Pursuant to the agreement VerdeWatts and the
Company each granted the other a royalty free non-exclusive license to certain
patents which license is subject to certain future negotiation.
Like CoolTech's Mobile Generation systems ("MG"), VerdeWatts' products are
scalable and offer the ability to bring power nearly anywhere it is needed.
Their proprietary Smart Solar Power Generation Units and energy storage systems
combine to deliver sustainable power long after the sun has set.
The agreement with VerdeWatts also included a cross marketing and royalty free
non-exclusive licensing agreement with FirmGreen, Inc., a water treatment
facilities developer that works closely with VerdeWatts to create a suite of
synergistic products that address significant needs in the global marketplace.
FirmGreen specializes in water purification and desalination technologies. Their
mobile, solar and container applications feature 6 levels of water purification
for unrivaled drinkability. Pursuant to the agreement FirmGreen and the Company
each granted the other a royalty free non-exclusive license to certain patents
which license is subject to certain future negotiation.
CoolTech's MG platform makes the companies' product offering complete with
mobile power generation. It provides the capability to power everything from
irrigation for farms and water purification for rural areas to electric vehicle
charging and fast charging in the urban ones.
Consider the solar-powered generator system with a built-in water purification
unit that makes seawater desalination sustainable. The system pumps and purifies
up to 3,000 gallons per day and interfaces with CoolTech's MG system for 24-hour
operation. The solar panels collapse and fold together, so the entire system
fits easily in the bed of a work truck. It can be set up and operate anywhere a
four-wheel drive vehicle can reach. All of these systems are patent protected
and cross licensed to each of the three companies.
FirmGreen and VerdeWatts have a global presence with projects on 3 continents.
The largest encompasses the installation of 14 natural gas generators to produce
over 60 megawatts (MW) of power. The generators will be integrated with 50
megawatt hours of battery storage and another 6 MW of solar to ensure a
consistent flow of power. VerdeWatts intend to replace most of the legacy
on-site generators with CoolTech's MG systems, however the Company has not
received any orders and there cannot be any assurance that any orders will be
placed.
Together the companies can create an energy or utility ecosystem that can enable
less developed countries to leapfrog non-existent, inadequate or failing
infrastructure to deliver reliable power and water quickly, sustainably and cost
effectively to their citizens, agriculture and other businesses. The scale and
impact can reach from the individual farms and villages to cities and regions.

Table of Contents
In fact, by combining their respective technologies: energy generation, energy
storage and load management controls into a single suite of products, the
companies create what is called a "microgrid". Varying combinations of energy
sources such as solar, wind, biogas and MG systems both backup and supplement
one another to provide consistent, uninterrupted primary power even during
severe weather or other emergency situations.
The synergies between the companies extend beyond water purification and power
generation. VerdeWatts' wind and gas turbines and generators which produce
electric power can all be improved by CoolTech's thermal reduction technologies.
New Sales Agent:
In early December 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Gaia Energy
of Gdansk, Poland to act as an independent agent for the Company by developing
markets in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The agreement describes
the agent's duties as "generating revenue, and investment funding, for the
Company from various organizations including investment funds, end-users,
channel partners, integrators, and OEMs."
Team members of Gaia Energy include executives with more than twenty-five years'
experience with Panasonic, Ford Motor Company, Electronic Data Systems and the
US Air Force in the fields of advanced technologies and an African diplomat with
a thirty-year background working with and for diplomatic missions,
non-governmental organizations and international disasters and aid management
services.
The diplomat introduced CoolTech products at a recent African technical summit
attended by representatives from 54 countries.
Request for Collaboration Sent to US Government Officials
On December 11, 2019, letters signed by 13 government officials and Congressmen
in Mexico were mailed to their counterparts in the US, specifically Governor
Gavin Newsom, Secretary Rick Perry, Secretary Wilbur Ross, Senator Mitch
McConnell and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
The letters were a request for collaborative support between the two countries
to accelerate CoolTech's product deployment into Mexico to help solve urgent
rural power and water purification problems that are hurting rural communities.
Those problems include irregular and faulty power in rural areas which hinders
crop irrigation and water pollution which affects crops farmed for sale to the
US.
The letters also detail the Mexican officials' satisfaction with CoolTech's
solutions and management team and that they have met with the Company on several
occasions for product demonstrations as well as strategic and technical advice.
They highlight the benefits of CoolTech products, how they could quickly and
efficiently address the problems noted, and how they expect them to become a
viable part of the country's infrastructure.
Export Import Bank of the United States
With the help of VerdeWatts and FirmGreen, CoolTech has initiated a relationship
with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), a U.S. government
agency whose sole mission is to support U.S. exports. The bank fulfills its
mission by offering very cost-effective financing for international customers
and project developers to purchase U.S.-made services and purchase or lease
U.S.-made goods.
To that end, the two companies applied to finance the Mexican projects
referenced above. CoolTech also sent product information for due diligence
review by the technical team at EXIM bank. Subsequently, CoolTech has received a
Letter of Interest from EXIM, however, there cannot be any assurance that EXIM
will provide any funding to the Company.

Revenues
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, and since inception, the Company
has not generated any revenues. Cool Technologies generated its first Mobile
Generation order during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and received a partial
deposit in advance of completing the sale with companies controlled by the
individual who is a 5% owner of UPT and a shareholder of the Company. The order
is in the production queue along with other existing orders.
Operating Expenses
Payroll and related expenses decreased during the three months ended March 31,
2020 from $126,460 in 2019 to $82,750 in 2020 due to the elimination of Mark
Hodowanec's salary after he resigned in July 2019 and due to the fact that the
remaining officers received no salary during the first quarter.
Consulting expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from
$95,324 in 2019 to $62,000 in 2020 primarily due to the reduced workload for
consultants and the Company's need to conserve cash. Professional fees decreased
during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $81,765 in 2019 to $46,800 in
2020 The decrease in professional fees was due primarily to the reduced
requirements for accounting and legal and the need to conserve cash.
Research and development expenses decreased during the three months ended March
31, 2020 from $14,702 in 2019 to $10,308 in 2020 due to the focus on
commercialization of the Company's MG system.
General and administrative expense decreased during the three months ended March
31, 2020 from $85,864 in 2019 to $9,909 in 2020 due to limited funds.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to accelerated debt discount
amortization upon the conversion of convertible notes.
Net Loss and Noncontrolling interest
Since Cool Technologies has incurred losses since inception, it has not recorded
any income tax expense or benefit. Accordingly, the Company's net loss is driven
by operating and other expenses. Noncontrolling interest represents the 5%
third-party ownership in UPT, which is subtracted to calculate net loss to
shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has historically met its liquidity requirements primarily through
the public sale and private placement of equity securities, debt financing, and
exchanging common stock warrants and options for professional and consulting
services. At March 31, 2020, CoolTech had cash of $131.
Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current
liabilities. The Company had negative working capital of $7,029,927 and
$6,821,643, respectively, at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The decrease
in working capital was due to large reduction in cash combined with increases in
accounts payable, accrued liabilities - related party and derivative liability
that more than offset a reduction in current debt. To that end, we owe
approximately $583,137 for convertible notes and we owe another $2,612,059 in
notes payable. Based on its current forecast and budget, management believes
that its cash resources will not be sufficient to fund its operations through
the end of the second quarter. Unless the Company can generate sufficient
revenue from the execution of the Company's business plan, it will need to
obtain additional capital to continue to fund the Company's operations. There is
no assurance that capital in any form would be available to us, and if
available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable. If we are unable to
obtain sufficient funds, we may be forced to curtail and/or cease operations.
February Convertible Note - On February 19, 2018, the Company entered into a

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Currently, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Flows
Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities were as follows:
Three months ended March 31,
2020 2019
Net cash from operating activities $ (29,128 ) $ (289,018 )
Net cash from investing activities
(7,747 ) (1,047 )
Net cash from financing activities 21,700 755,831
Net cash from operating activities decreased due to a 50.4% decrease in the
amortization of debt discount. The elimination of the gain on extinguishment of
debt was almost completely offset by the change in fair value of derivative
liability. Cash provided by financing activities included debt borrowings of
$72,000 during 2020 which was a significant reduction from the debt borrowings
of $905,345 during the first quarter of 2019.
The Company's capital requirements for the next 12 months will consist of $3.4
million with anticipated expenses of $1.4 million for salaries, public company
filings, and consultants and professional fees. An additional $2.0 million in
working capital is expected to be needed for inventory and related costs for
production of the mobile power generation systems as well as development and
commercialization of the thermal dispersion technology applications.
Management believes the Company's funds are insufficient to provide for its
projected needs for operations for the next 12 months. The Company is currently
negotiating additional non-dilutive funding to support product development or
for other purposes. In the event that the negotiations fail, the Company may
have to rely on equity or debt financing that may involve substantial dilution
to our then existing stockholders. If it is unable to close additional equity
financing, the Company may have to cease operations.

Going Concern
The Company has incurred net losses of $53,923,864 since inception and have not
fully commenced operations, raising substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise capital,
generate revenue, achieve profitable operations and repay its obligations when
they come due. As of March 31,2020, we have $131 in cash and we owe $583,137 and
$2,612,059 for convertible and promissory notes, respectively We are pursuing
various financing alternatives to address the payment of outstanding debt and to
support the sales, component acquisition and assembly of our mobile power
generation systems as well as the completion of the secondary elements of our
business plan: to license its thermal technologies and applications, including
submersible dry-pit applications. There can be no assurance, however, that we
will obtain adequate funding or that we will be successful in accomplishing any
of our objectives. Consequently, we may not be able to continue as an operating
company.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that
affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Cool Technologies
continually evaluates the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the
condensed consolidated financial statements. The estimates are based on
historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current
facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these
estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require
significant management estimates and are deemed critical to the results of
operations and financial position are discussed in the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 in "Item 7. Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
