CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
(CONTINUED)

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002:

Convertible Debentures with a principal value of $3,490,000 were converted, based on a conversion price of $3.00 per share, into 1,163,325 shares of KFx Inc. (“KFx” or the “Company”) common stock, which resulted in a reduction to stockholders’ deficit of $3,839,886, including a pro rata portion of accreted maturity premium and net of a pro rata portion of unamortized debt issue costs. Convertible Debentures with a principal value of $1,000,000 were converted, based on a conversion price of $2.50 per share, into 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which resulted in a reduction to stockholders’ deficit of $1,111,798, including a pro rata portion of accreted maturity premium and net of a pro rata portion of unamortized debt issue costs (see Note 6).

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company sold common stock in a private placement transaction, which reduced the conversion price of the Convertible Debentures to $2.50 per share. The reduction of the conversion price resulted in a beneficial conversion feature charge of $802,000, which was recorded as debt discount and a reduction to stockholders’ deficit. The debt discount was being amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the Convertible Debentures (see Note 6).

Due to the conversion and repayment of all of the Convertible Debentures during the third quarter of 2002, the conversion price of the convertible long-term debt was reset to $2.75 per share. The reduction of the conversion price resulted in a beneficial conversion feature charge of $1,098,381, which was recorded as a debt discount and a reduction to stockholders’ deficit. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the estimated remaining term of the convertible debt (see Note 5).

The Company issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of KFx common stock in conjunction with the notes payable issued during the first quarter of 2002, resulting in debt discount of $446,265, which was amortized to interest expense through the maturity of the notes on June 30, 2002.

The Company issued warrants to purchase approximately 16,223,000 shares of KFx common stock in conjunction with private placements of the Company’s common stock during the first nine months, resulting in accretion expense of $15,803,602 (see Note 8) and other expense of $9,141,429.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company applied $164,110 of invoices for products and services to the outstanding convertible long-term debt (See Note 5).

KFx issued 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $679,200, of which 30,000 of these shares were issued to a related party of the Chairman and CEO, in exchange for consulting services during the nine months. Accordingly, $629,200 was charged to general and administrative expense and $50,000 reduced a liability outstanding at December 31, 2001.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001:

In connection with the sales of Pegasus preferred stock, subject to KFx’s obligation to repurchase, a debt discount of $1,780,256 was recorded, which was amortized to interest expense over the one-year term of the repurchase obligation.

On March 3, 2001, Kennecott Energy’s put option relative to its Pegasus common stock expired; accordingly, the $1,000,000 sales price has been included in minority interest as of September 30, 2001.

Convertible Debentures with a principal value of $1,400,000 were converted, under the stated terms of $3.65 per share, into 383,561 shares of the Company’s common stock, which resulted in an addition to stockholders’ equity of $1,362,980, including a pro rata portion of accreted maturity premium and net of a pro rata portion of unamortized debt issue costs.

Warrants to purchase 285,000 shares of Pegasus common stock were issued in the second quarter of 2001, resulting in debt discount of $102,348, which was recognized as interest expense on the issuance date.

During the third quarter of 2001, the Company issued a warrant in conjunction with a loan agreement to purchase 200,000 shares of KFx common stock, resulting in a debt discount of $369,190 and interest expense of $22,802.

Table of Contents

The Company issued 194,500 shares of common stock with a fair value of $423,784, of which 70,000 of these shares were issued a related party of the Chairman and CEO, in exchange for consulting services during the nine months. Accordingly, $313,136 was charged to general and administrative expense and $110,648 reduced a liability outstanding at December 31, 2000.

KFX INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KFX Inc. (“KFx” or the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary, KFX Wyoming Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Pegasus Technologies, Inc. (“Pegasus”), KFX Technology, Inc. (“KFxT”), and Heartland Fuels Corporation. The Company’s 51% interest in K-Fuel, L.L.C. (“K-Fuel, LLC”) is accounted for as an equity investment since the 49% partner, Kennecott Energy Company (“Kennecott Energy”), has certain participative rights; accordingly, the Company does not control K-Fuel, LLC.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes to financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited quarterly financial statements are the same as those policies used in the preparation of the audited annual financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ended December 31, 2002.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management has made significant estimates with respect to the realizability of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, patents, equity investments, and prepaid royalty. Actual results could differ from these estimates, making it possible that a change in the estimates could occur in the near term.

         The consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2002 and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

         In the second quarter of 2002 the Company f its purchase price allocation related to the acquisition of the Pavilion Power Optimization Division in July 2001. The Company reclassified $2,679,807 of the purchase price allocation from goodwill to intangibles in order to assign a value to the license received from the Pavilion Power Optimization Division. The amount reclassified was net of $286,193 of amortization expense. The $286,193 of amortization expense included $208,140 of amortization, which should have been recognized from August 2001 through March 2002. The impact of this amortization expense on the quarters ended September 30, 2001, December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001 was not material. Amortization of the license of $78,053 related to the second quarter was also recorded. Future amortization of the license is anticipated to be $78,053 on a quarterly basis over the estimated life of the license of nine and one-half years.

         The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $15,177,000, $12,290,000 and $12,730,000 and negative cash flow from operations of approximately $6,738,000, $5,151,000 and $3,458,000 in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and an additional net loss of $20,588,708 and negative cash flow from operations of $4,334,734 in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $106,857,000 as of September 30, 2002. These factors, coupled with the need for additional financing to fund operations and planned growth in the business, raise substantial doubt about whether the Company can continue as a going concern. The Report of Independent Accountants, dated April 12, 2002, covering the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 included an explanatory paragraph discussing this going concern uncertainty.

9


Table of Contents

         In order to mitigate this uncertainty, the Company intends to seek further capital through various means which may include the sale of all or a portion of its interest in Pegasus, additional sales of debt or equity securities, a business combination or other means and to further reduce expenditures as necessary. In the event that the Company does not meet certain continued listing standards of the American Stock Exchange, the Company's stock may be delisted, which would impair KFx's ability to sell additional shares, settle obligations with equity instruments and raise capital. Should the Company not be successful in achieving one or more of these actions, it is possible that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

         Net loss per common share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which excludes approximately 24,019,000 and 14,186,000 of potentially issuable common shares from common stock options, warrants and convertible debt, as the effect on the Company’s net loss would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 2.    ISSUANCES AND SALES OF PEGASUS PREFERRED STOCK

         On March 3, 2000, KFx and Pegasus closed a transaction with Kennecott Energy that included, among various other elements, (a) the sale of 4% of the common stock of Pegasus, held by KFx (“Pegasus Common Stock”), to Kennecott Energy for $1,000,000, (b) the issuance by Pegasus to Kennecott Energy, in exchange for $500,000, of newly authorized 6% cumulative convertible preferred stock (“Pegasus Preferred Stock”) equivalent to an additional 2% interest in Pegasus on an as converted basis, and (c) the joint development by KFx, Pegasus and Kennecott Energy of a work plan for enhancements to NeuSIGHT, new product development and the completion of other tasks designed to improve the performance of Pegasus and trigger additional purchases of Pegasus Preferred Stock by Kennecott Energy at its discretion of up to $3,500,000, for an additional interest in Pegasus up to 14%, on an as converted basis, by December 31, 2004 or earlier. Through September 30, 2002, Kennecott Energy has purchased $3,250,000 of additional Pegasus Preferred Stock, $750,000 of which was purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The entire Kennecott Energy investment in Pegasus is included in minority interest as of September 30, 2002.

         During 2001, KFx closed transactions with various parties pursuant to which KFx sold all of its preferred stock investment in Pegasus for $2,722,330, which represented an approximate 16% interest in Pegasus on an as converted basis. Included in these sales of Pegasus preferred stock were sales to Evergreen Resources, Inc. (“Evergreen”), whose Chairman is a director of KFx, for $1,500,000, two directors of KFx and KFx’s Chairman, Theodore Venners, for $300,000, and a related party of KFx’s Chairman for $100,000. These sales to related parties represented an as converted interest in Pegasus of approximately 11%.

         KFx was obligated to repurchase this preferred stock, or any other security issued with respect to this preferred stock, at a premium of 33% over the original purchase price, plus interest at an annual rate of 6% on the accreted repurchase price, at dates varying from January 31, 2002 to November 20, 2002, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change in control. In certain circumstances, the parties could individually elect to exchange their interest in Pegasus, with an aggregate maturity value of $3,847,562, for common stock of KFx at $3.65 per share, subject to certain adjustments, including a reduction to the then current market value upon the conversion or redemption of the Company’s 6% Convertible Debentures due July 31, 2002 (“Debentures”). However, on April 30, 2002, the Company satisfied its obligations to repurchase the Pegasus preferred stock for a total of $3,846,049.

         In addition, the parties were provided with warrants, expiring five years after their issue, to purchase an aggregate amount of 1,814,887 shares of KFx common stock at an exercise price of $3.65 per share, subject to certain adjustments including a reduction to a weighted-average price of $2.52 per share upon the conversion or redemption of the Company’s Debentures. Based on the terms and characteristics of the preferred stock sales as discussed above, the instruments were classified as debt. Accordingly, the Company estimated the fair value of the related warrants and recorded an aggregate debt discount of $1,179,037. The Company calculated the debt discount amount based upon an allocation of the initial sales proceeds to the relative fair value of the debt and warrants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants” (“APB 14”). The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using an expected life of 5 years, expected volatility ranging from 73% to 76%, a risk free interest rate ranging from 4.1% to 5.0%, and an expected dividend yield of zero. In addition, the difference between the effective conversion price of the preferred stock and the fair value of KFx’s common stock on the respective dates of the transactions resulted in a beneficial conversion feature in an aggregate amount of 1,351,217, which was calculated in accordance with EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (“EITF 98-5”) and EITF 00-27,

“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” (“EITF 00-27”). During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded $-0- and $624,006, respectively, in interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount associated with the warrants and beneficial conversion feature. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded $-0- and $399,822, respectively, in interest expense related to the accretion of these instruments to their respective redemption values. As a result of the repayment of the obligation to repurchase the preferred stock as noted above, there will be no further accretion of the instruments. In addition, as a result of the repurchase, prior to the maturity date, of the obligation to repurchase preferred stock sold in November 2001, the Company recorded the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of $313,433 into additional paid in capital. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was calculated on the date the debt was extinguished in compliance with EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27.

         At September 30, 2002, as a result of the additional investments by Kennecott Energy in Pegasus Preferred Stock and KFx’s repurchase of its Pegasus Preferred Stock, the ownership, on an as converted basis, of Pegasus is approximately as follows: KFx—66.5%, Pegasus founders—14.2% and Kennecott Energy—19.3%.

NOTE 5.    CONVERTIBLE LONG-TERM DEBT

         On July 25, 2001, Cinergy Corporation (“Cinergy”) advanced $3.5 million to Pegasus against the existing contract between Pegasus and Cinergy, which was signed on May 1, 2001. The advance bears interest at 7% per annum, payable monthly.

The conversion price of the advance into KFx common stock was reset to $2.75 per share upon the repayment of the Debentures on July 24, 2002 (see Note 6). The note is also putable by Cinergy upon (i) a change in control of KFx or Pegasus, (ii) the sale of substantially all of Pegasus’ or KFx’s assets, (iii) the completion of third party financing for Pegasus of $12.5 million or for Pegasus and KFx combined of $30 million, or (iv) termination for cause as set forth in the original contract.

NOTE 7.    PURCHASE OF POWER OPTIMIZATION SEGMENT OF PAVILION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

         Pursuant to an Asset Purchase and License Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between Pavilion, Pegasus and KFx, dated July 31, 2001, certain assets and liabilities relating to the Pavilion Power Optimization Division were acquired by Pegasus. These purchased assets and acquired liabilities were primarily accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, customer list, exclusive rights to license Pavilion’s software, other intangibles and deferred revenue. Pavilion has retained certain liabilities of the Power Optimization Division, including but not limited to Pavilion indemnifying Pegasus regarding the intellectual property of Pavilion’s software being licensed. KFx guarantees the duties and obligations of Pegasus under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement initially provided for a base price of $9.5 million in cash, payable to Pavilion in installments through July 31, 2003, adjusted for the net of assets and liabilities assumed. Additionally, Pegasus was to initially pay Pavilion royalties of up to $5.5 million between August 1, 2001 and October 31, 2005, based on Pavilion and Pegasus software licenses sold by Pegasus. During 2001, Pegasus made payments to Pavilion totaling $2,447,740 against the base purchase price. On March 28, 2002, the Purchase Agreement between Pavilion, Pegasus and KFx was amended to decrease the base cash payment to $7.5 million, from $9.5 million, subject to certain adjustments for the value of assets and liabilities acquired and transaction costs. Per the terms of this amendment, Pegasus paid Pavilion $4.4 million on March 28, 2002 as the final base purchase price payment for the acquisition. This reduction resulted in a net purchase price adjustment, based upon the present value of the payments, of approximately $1.5 million, which was recorded as a reduction of goodwill as of December 31, 2001. The amendment also increased the future royalty payments on licenses sold to a total of $9 million with no expiration date on the royalty payment period. Future royalty payments are considered contingent purchase price and will result in additions to goodwill as the royalties become due. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had incurred a total of $510,000 in royalty obligations as a result of the sales of software licenses subsequent to the consummation of the acquisition, $404,000 of which were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

         This acquisition expands the Pegasus software product offerings, customer installed base, and technical expertise as well as effectively dismissing the Pavilion Lawsuit, which allows management to concentrate on the growth of Pegasus. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method and the results of operations are included in the Company’s financial statements beginning in the third quarter of 2001. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values. The allocation of the purchase price to net assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets was based on an independent valuation of those assets as follows:

(dollars in thousands):
       
Purchase price (including royalty obligations incurred)   $ 7,444  
Fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired     4,392  
Deferred revenue     (269 )

Excess cost over net assets acquired     3,321  
Acquisition costs     269  

Goodwill   $ 3,590
