1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AND PURCHASE OF TECHNOLOGY
a) Nature of operations
First National Energy Corporation
(the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 16, 2000, under the name Capstone International
Corporation. On March 28, 2004, the Company changed its name to First National Power Corporation. On February 12, 2009, the Company
relocated its charter to the State of Nevada and changed its name to First National Energy Corporation. As part of its reorganization,
the Company increased its authorized capital to 300 million common shares and effected a 100 for 1 reverse stock split of its issued
and outstanding shares of common stock. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all share data based on the
100 for 1 reverse common stock split.
The Company’s business purpose
is the provision of wind-driven solutions for power generation. Current projects for the Company are the completion of power generation
projects from supplemental wind generation technologies.
b) Purchase of Technology
License
On April 20, 2009, the Company entered
into a preliminary letter of intent with Boreas Research Corporation (“Boreas”), a Florida corporation, pursuant to
which the Company would acquire a territorial license to certain rights in alternative energy technology of Boreas, in exchange
for a quantity of newly issued common shares of the Company. The letter of intent was superseded by a Technology License and Stock
Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and Boreas that was consummated on May 25, 2009 (the “Closing”),
at which time the Company issued to the stockholders of Boreas 98,800,000 new restricted and unregistered common shares of the
Company and agreed to pay certain future royalties to Boreas from net revenues realized by the Company from the technology license.
The consideration issued in the transaction was determined as a result of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties.
The preliminary letter of intent
was reported by the Company on form 8-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 21, 2009, and the
Agreement was annexed to an information statement on form 14-C filed with the SEC in preliminary and definitive forms on April
22, 2009 and May 4, 2009, respectively. The definitive information statement was mailed to the Stockholders of the Company on May
4, 2009.
The Company obtained written consent
to the Agreement and the transaction from the holders of 55.82% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock in lieu of
a meeting of stockholders.
In exchange for the Company acquiring
the technology license from Boreas at the Closing pursuant to the Agreement (as amended by the Amendment), the Stockholders of
Boreas received an aggregate of 98,800,000 new restricted and unregistered common shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly,
the Boreas Stockholders now own 98.93% of the Company’s 99,865,228 outstanding common shares. No finder’s fees were
paid or consulting agreements entered into by the Company in connection with the transaction.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PURCHASE
OF TECHNOLOGY (cont’d)
b) Purchase
of Technology License (cont’d)
Prior to the transaction, there
were no material relationships between the Company and Boreas, between Boreas and the Company’s affiliates, directors or
officers, or between any associates of Boreas and the Company’s officers or directors. All of the Company’s transaction
liabilities were settled on or immediately following the Closing.
Upon the Closing on May 25, 2009,
the Company was no longer deemed to be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, the Company filed an amended current report on Form 8-K/A with the SEC on
May 26, 2009, setting forth the information that would be required if the Company were filing a general form for registration of
securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act.
On April 18, 2011, First National
Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Novation Agreement (the “Novation”) with all of the stockholders
of Boreas revising the structure of the May 25, 2009 transaction by which the Company acquired a territorial license to certain
rights in alternative energy technology of Boreas, in exchange for a quantity of newly issued common shares of the Company. The
Novation amended the Technology License and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) to substitute the stockholders
of Boreas as the licensor under the Original Agreement.
c) Further Purchase of Technology
License
On March 22, 2010, Pavana Power
Corporation (“Pavana”), a Nevada corporation, the Company’s 99.9% owned subsidiary, acquired an exclusive, territorial,
25-year license for the Republic of India (“India”), from Boreas, pursuant to which the Company’s subsidiary
acquired technology rights for India in the technology of Boreas that maximizes the energy productivity of existing wind turbines
by capturing energy that flows through and underneath existing wind turbine systems. The consideration due from the Company’s
subsidiary to Boreas for the license is a deferred cash payment of $600,000, and a future royalty equal to 5% of the subsidiary’s
“EBITDA” (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) from exploitation of the acquired license.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s consolidated
financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and applicable
to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
However, the Company has not generated any revenues from its planned principal operations through June 30, 2017 and has
recorded losses since inception, has negative working capital, has yet to achieve profitable operations and expects further losses
in the development of its business. There can be no assurance that the Company will have adequate capital resources to fund planned
operations or that any additional funds will be available to the Company when needed, or if available, will be available on favorable
terms in the amounts required by the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
Management has plans to raise cash
through debt offerings once the sales of the technologies begin. The facilities and equipment required for successfully completing
the business model have been identified but until the resources are available, have not been acquired or engaged. In the period
prior to the onset of operations, the Company will undertake to raise further cash through further capital offerings. There is
no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
a) Basis
of Presentation and Consolidation
The unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of First National Energy Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary First National Energy
(Canada) Corporation and its 99.99% owned subsidiary Pavana Power Corporation. All material inter-company amounts have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation
S-X related to smaller reporting companies.
The unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and Notes thereto together with management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Company’s annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of
the Company at June 30, 2017, the results of its operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and its
cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. In addition, some of the Company’s statements in its quarterly
report on Form 10-Q may be considered forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected
results. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the full year.
b) 2016
Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan
On February 1, 2016, the Board of
Directors approved the 2016 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (“Stock Option Plan”) for employees and non-employees.
The Stock Option Plan reserves up to five million shares of common stock for issuance.
All awards granted to employees
and non-employees after February 1, 2016 are valued at fair value by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized
on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange
for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees using the estimated fair market value of the consideration received
or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments
issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of
performance by the provider of goods or services.
If there is a modification of the
terms of an award, either by repricing or extending the expiry of the award, the award is re-measured. If the modification results
in an increase in the fair value of the new award as compared to the old award immediately prior to the modification, the excess
fair value is recognized as compensation expense.
As of June 30, 2017, there was $nil
of recognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted.

The Company valued this technology
under the guidance of ASC 350,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other
which states that an intangible asset that is acquired either

11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s capital management
objective is to secure the ability to continue as a going concern and to optimize the cost of capital in order to enhance value
to shareholders. As part of this objective, the Company seeks to maintain access to loan and capital markets at all times. The
Board of Directors reviews the capital structure of the Group on a regular basis.
Capital structure and debt capacity
are taken into account when deciding new investments and the Company may consider share buybacks and share issuances as other strategies.
Debt capital is managed considering the requirement to secure liquidity and the capability to refinance maturing debt.
On June 30, 2017, the Company had
no interest-bearing debt.
12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to risks
that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for
managing those risks and the methods used to measure them.
Foreign exchange risk:
The Company’s subsidiary conducts
its activities in Canadian dollars. The Company is therefore subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in Canadian currency
relative to the US dollar. The Company has no exposure to this given its limited activity and assets through the year.
Liquidity risk:
The Company monitors its
liquidity position regularly to assess whether it has the funds necessary to fulfill planned commitments on its alternative
energy technology or viable options are available to fund such commitments from new equity issuance or alternative sources
such as debt financing. However, without significant internally generated cash flow, there are inherent liquidity risks,
including the possibility that additional financing may not be available to the Company, or that actual development
expenditures may exceed those planned. The current uncertainty in global markets could have an impact on the Company’s
future ability to access capital on terms that are acceptable to the Company. The company has so far been able to raise the
required financing to meet its obligations on time. The Company continues to pursue potential investees and have already
secured additional equity financing from investors subsequent to the year end.
