NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 (UNAUDITED)
Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “KFx,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to KFx Inc. and its subsidiaries. All references to K-Fuel, K-Fuel™and K-Fuel Plus™refer to our patented process and technology, which are owned by our wholly owned subsidiary, K-Fuel LLC.
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.
We made certain reclassifications to prior balances to conform to the current presentation. In the opinion of management, these statements include all the adjustments necessary to fairly present our condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of March 31, 2005 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results or cash flows expected for the full year.
Our operations have required and will continue to require investment for research and development of our K-Fuel product and related products, construction of our 750,000-tons per year K-Fuel plant near Gillette, Wyoming, which we refer to as the 750,000-ton plant, construction of other large-scale commercial plants and costs to transfer technology to licensees. We may continue to incur losses for the next several years as we begin operating our 750,000-ton plant and undertake the design, construction, and operation of other large-scale commercial plants. Further, we do not expect to derive a significant amount of cash from plant operations until the plants are fully operational. In addition, we may license our technology to more third parties, which may result in additional sources of cash. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to execute additional licensing agreements. Historically, we have satisfied our cash requirements primarily through the sale of equity securities.
Asset retirement cost and obligation. The fair value of our retirement obligation is to be recorded as a liability with an equivalent amount added to the asset cost and depreciated over an appropriate period. The liability is then accreted over time by applying an interest method of allocation to the liability. We began accreting our liability in 2005. As a result, amounts reflected in Restricted Cash in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which serves as collateral pledged toward our reclamation liability assessed by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, or DEQ, will no longer equal the amount reflected in the liability. Periodically, the DEQ may require us to pledge additional cash collateral or we may be allowed to un-restrict this cash as the case may be. As the DEQ adjusts their amount of required collateral, we will adjust our reclamation obligation accordingly, which may result in additional expense or the reversal of previously recorded expense.
Revenue. We recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, generally when an agreement has been signed, all significant obligations have been satisfied, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Any up-front fees received related to licenses granted are deferred and recognized as we provide certain deliverables defined in the agreement. As our history related to customer relationships is limited, we may be required to change the estimated period over which we amortize our revenue as more information becomes available. Arrangements that include multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine whether each deliverable is separable based on objective evidence. If it is deemed separable, total consideration
