Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)


1.	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

For further information, refer to Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated’s (the “Company”) consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the basis that it will operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses each year since inception and has relied on the sale of its stock from time to time and loans from third parties and from related parties to fund its operations.

These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from an institutional investor and current stockholder have led the Company’s independent registered accounting firm Webb & Company, P.A. to include a statement in its audit report relating to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has been addressing the liquidity and working capital issues and continues to raise additional capital with institutional and private investors and current stockholders. Cost reductions were and continue to be implemented by the Company, including acquiring alternative suppliers for raw materials and manufacturing and reductions in manpower. The Company expects to continue to see results from these reductions, as well as from other cost reduction plans through the remainder of 2009. However, due to raw material price increases and the recent economic environment, the Company has been able to pass on only a portion of these costs as product price increases and has been forced to absorb some of these increases. The Company does not expect this increase will be offset by customer price increases until mid-year 2010. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the additional capital needed or reduce the level of expenditures in order to sustain operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

FASB ASC 260, requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. However, because of the Company’s net losses, the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, is excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. The number of such shares excluded from the computation of loss per share totaled 6,123,880 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 5,006,139 and 4,799,606 respectively for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008.

Stock Compensation

The Company adopted FASB ASC 718 effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005, recognizing the amortized grant date fair value in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 718 on straight line basis over the service periods of each award. We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience. Stock option compensation expense for the periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2009 have been recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with FASB ASC 505 and FASB ASC 718, Accounting for Equity Investments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services, including related amendments and interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity and any excess production costs are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable values.

Inventories consisted of the following at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:


	September 30, 2009			December 31, 2008
Raw materials	$	999,565		$	946,429
Finished goods		139,195			505,039
Valuation allowance		(89,567	)		(114,159	)
Net Inventory	$	1,049,193		$	1,337,309

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company capitalizes financing costs and amortizes them using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense and totaled $1,007 and $2,105 for the three-months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and $3,386 and $7,998 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $676,117 and $670,626, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers when products that do not require further services or installation by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectibility is reasonably assured in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended and interpreted. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as deferred revenue. Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return and other limited product and performance warranties for which provision has been made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.

Product Warranty Costs

As required by FASB ASC 460, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, the Company is including the following disclosure applicable to its product warranties.

The Company accrues for warranty costs based on the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty cost is based upon historical information and experience. The Company’s warranty reserve is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate.

The following table shows the changes in the aggregate product warranty liability for the nine-months ended September 30, 2009:


Balance as of December 31, 2008	$	148,149
Less: Payments made		5,277
Change in prior period estimate		(10,653	)
Add: Provision for current period warranties		54,393
Balance as of September 30, 2009	$	197,166

Comprehensive Income

FASB ASC 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income establishes rules for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the sum of net loss as reported in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income transactions. Other comprehensive income transactions that currently apply to the Company result from changes in exchange rates used in translating the financial statements of its wholly owned subsidiary, Puradyn Filter Technologies, Ltd. (Ltd). Comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 is not shown net of taxes because the Company’s deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

Comprehensive loss consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008

Net loss	$	(533,743	)	$	(670,293	)	$	(1,667,141	)	$	(1,539,408	)

Other comprehensive income:
Foreign currency translation adjustment		36,860			90,138			(113,552	)		92,509
Total other comprehensive income		36,860			90,138			(113,552	)		92,509

Comprehensive loss	$	(496,883	)	$	(580,155	)	$	(1,780,693	)	$	(1,446,899	)

New Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 860 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.” FASB ASC 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC 860 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810 “Consolidations.” FASB ASC 810 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC 810 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105 “GAAP.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. ASC 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in ASC 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Company has updated references accordingly and it has no affect on the financial position or results of operation.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Number 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (ASC 605) Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This ASU establishes a new selling price hierarchy to use when allocating the sales price of a multiple element arrangement between delivered and undelivered elements. This ASU is generally expected to result in revenue recognition for more delivered elements than under current rules and is required to be adopted prospectively for new or materially modified agreements as of January 1, 2011. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU, but does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its financial statements.


2.	Issues Affecting Liquidity and Management’s Plans

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained losses since inception in 1987. Net cash used in operations decreased significantly, from approximately $1,707,000 during the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $804,000 during the same period in 2009, a reduction of approximately $900,000. Although the Company was able to significantly reduce their cash used in operations they continue to rely principally on private equity funding, including the conversion of debt into stock, as well as stockholder loans to fund its activities to date.

These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from an institutional investor and current stockholder led the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Webb & Company, P.A. to include a statement in its audit report relating to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has been addressing the liquidity and working capital issues and continues to raise additional capital with institutional and private investors and current stockholders. Cost reductions were and continue to be implemented by the Company including acquiring alternative suppliers for raw materials and manufacturing and reductions in manpower. The Company expects to continue to see results from these reductions, as well as other cost reduction plans through 2009. However, due to raw material price increases and the recent economic environment, the Company has been able to pass on only a portion of these costs as product price increases and has been forced to absorb some of these increases. The Company expects to be able to offset these costs by consumer price increases in mid-year 2010.

The Company continues to address liquidity concerns because of a decline in revenues in the 2009 periods of approximately 33% from the comparable periods in 2008. As a result, cash flow from operations is insufficient to cover our liquidity needs for the immediate future. During 2009, the Company has raised capital from the sale of its common stock in private transactions and continues to explore financing availability and options with investment bankers, funds, private sources, members of management and existing shareholders. The Company has implemented measures to preserve its ability to operate, including organizational changes, deferral of salaries, reduction in personnel and renegotiating creditor and collection arrangement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the additional capital needed or reduce the level of expenditures in order to sustain operations.

On February 23, 2009, the stockholder amended the original loan agreements to extend the payback dates to December 31, 2010. The original loan agreements, dated March 28, 2002 and March 14, 2003, were due and payable on December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004. Previously, the stockholder waived the funding requirement mandating maturity as such time as the Company raised an additional $7.0 million over the $3.5 million previously raised in the Company’s private placement offering; or until such time as the Company is operating within sufficient cash flow parameters, as defined, to sustain its operations; or until a disposition of the Company occurs. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had drawn a total of $5.525 million of the available funds.

Based on an already existing significant orders and shipments, the Company anticipates sales activity to be stronger in the last quarter of 2009 and cash flows to be a significant improvement over 2008. If additional capital is not raised, budgeted sales levels are not achieved and/or significant unanticipated expenditures occur, the Company will have to modify its business plan, reduce or discontinue some of its operations or seek a buyer for part of its assets to continue as a going concern through mid-2010. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the additional capital needed to continue as a going concern.


3.	Common Stock

On January 8, 2009 the Company extended again the expiration date by six months for a loan of $123,750, interest bearing at a rate of 5.63% and collateralized by 300,000 shares of common stock, made to a former employee of the Company.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had drawn $5.525 of the $6.1 million from the available line-of-credit, which is provided by a stockholder, and a Board Member, of the Company (see Note 2). Amounts drawn bear interest at a weighted average between two facilities, one is based on a minimum of 2.75% or the prime rate minus one-half percent (3.25% as of September 30, 2009) and the other is based on Libor plus 1.40 (1.65% as of September 30, 2009) payable monthly and become due and payable on December 31, 2010, or upon a change in control of the Company or consummation of any other financing over $7.0 million. Previously, this executive officer, director and stockholder waived this funding requirement. On February 23, 2009, the maturity date of the stockholder loan was extended from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010.

For the three-months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded approximately $35,000 and $68,000, respectively; and for the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded approximately $113,000 and $243,000, respectively, of interest expense related to the notes payable to stockholder, which is included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company was able to pay down approximately $783,000 and $1,013,000, respectively, of the outstanding credit line, which was reduced by drawings of approximately $40,000 and $271,000, respectively, during the same periods.

Overview

General

Sales of the Company’s products, the puraDYN^® bypass oil filtration system (the “Puradyn”) and replaceable filter elements will depend principally upon end user demand for such products and acceptance of the Company’s products by original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). The oil filtration industry has historically been competitive and, as is typically the case with innovative products, the ultimate level of demand for the Company’s products is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Developing market acceptance for the Company’s existing and proposed products will require substantial marketing and sales efforts and the expenditure of a significant amount of funds to inform customers of the perceived benefits and cost advantages of its products. As a result of our limited resources, to date we have not had adequate funds available to undertake these necessary marketing efforts.

Currently no bypass oil filtration system has captured a substantial share of the estimated recurring $15 billion potential market, based upon figures supplied by The Rhein Report, a report issued by Rhein Associates Inc, a diesel engine industry consulting, publishing and market research company. We believe we are in a unique position to capitalize on the growing acceptance of bypass oil filtration given that our product and our Company are positioned as, including, but not limited to:


•	A competitively priced, value-added product based on an advanced, patented technology;
•	An alternative solution to the rising costs and national concerns over dependence on foreign oil; and
•	Providing an operational maintenance solution to end users in conjunction with existing and reasonably foreseeable federal environmental legislation such as new regulation affecting diesel engines and diesel fuels, mandating cleaner diesel engines which first went into effect January 1, 2007. Additional and more stringent federal legislation is anticipated in 2010.

We focus our sales strategy on individual sales and distribution efforts as well as on the development of a strong nationwide distribution network that will not only sell but also install and support our product. We currently have approximately 60 domestic and 35 international active distributors. However there are additional potential distributors that participate in other programs; such as Freightliner, Western Star, Paccar and John Deere. While not all of these potential distributors actively promote our products, all of these dealers have access to our product and have the capability to sell our product

We continue to focus our sales and marketing efforts to target industries more open to innovative methods to reduce oil maintenance operating costs. These industries are searching for new and progressive ways, including bypass oil filtration, to maintain their equipment.

This strategy includes focus on:


•	The expansion of existing strategic relationships we have with John Deere, Avis and others;
•	Continued development and expansion of our distribution network with qualified distributors in order to establish a sales- and service-oriented nationwide infrastructure
•	Continuing to target existing and new industrial/construction equipment fleets and major diesel engine and generator set OEMs
•	Creating customer ‘pull-through’, a sustained level of request for our product on the OEM level
•	Converting customer evaluations into sales, both immediate and long term

While this is a long-term and ongoing commitment, we believe we have achieved a limited amount of industry acceptance based on recent accomplishments:


•	The November 2009 announcement that Puradyn has established yet another relationship in the oil and gas services industry and has received a purchase order for approximately 200 Puradyn systems for delivery that month.

•	The May 2009 announcement that a major oil drilling company, operating land drilling and offshore rigs in over 30 countries, has started a program to outfit its drilling platforms with the Puradyn systems. Worldwide equipment fleet of over 2,700 has been targeted for retrofit.

•	The March 2009 announcement that the Company has entered into an exclusive sales representative agreement for the country of Nigeria and adjacent waters, effectively opening a new market for the Puradyn system.

•	2008 announcement that the Avis Budget Group is installing the Puradyn system as standard on its fleet of 300+ heavy duty buses. Avis is the first in the car rental industry to use bypass oil filtration.

•	2008 announcement that John Deere Forestry Division is factory-installing Puradyn systems in Joensuu, Finland on equipment to be utilized in Russia and other countries where high sulfur fuel is used.


•	2008 announcement of initial and repeat orders received from the Foreign Military Sales program, the government method for selling U.S. defense equipment, services, and training, to supply the Puradyn system for the line haul fleet.

•	U.S. Army contract received to supply the Puradyn system to outfit JERRV vehicles used in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We believe that the renewed interest shown in the technology of bypass oil filtration as an economic alternative to significantly rising oil prices, dependence upon foreign oil, with the added benefit of being environmentally beneficial, will timely and favorably position the Company as a manufacturer of a cost efficient “green” product.

We also believe that although industry acceptance will continue to grow in the remainder of 2009, the impact of the global economy will continue to affect our revenue levels during the fourth quarter of 2009; however, there can be no assurance that any of our sales efforts or strategic relationships will meet management’s expectations or result in actual revenues. Even with the above announcements, business revenue during the first and third quarters of 2009 were below management expectations, due to the lead-time involved in manufacturing special order requirements.

The Company’s sales effort not only involves educating the potential customer on the benefits of our product, but also allowing the end-user to test and evaluate the Puradyn system on its fleet equipment. While set for a specific period of time, typically ranging from three to twelve months, evaluations are often influenced by a number of variables including equipment applications downtime or servicing, which may extend the evaluation period. Consequently, the sales cycle can be relatively long. Management believes that this evaluation period has shortened as our products gain wider acceptance, support and usage from well-known end-users and OEMs.

We believe international sales are especially well suited to our product given that environmental controls are not as regulated in countries outside North America. Certain applications representing a higher return on investment are more prevalent in use outside of North America and end-users consequently are more receptive to the total maintenance package, including the use of oil analysis, which the Puradyn system requires to verify oil condition. In the first nine months of 2009, total international sales accounted for approximately 22% of the Company’s consolidated net sales as compared to 57% for the first nine months of 2008. As discussed elsewhere herein, we believe that the decline in international sales in the current fiscal year is attributable to the global economic uncertainty, which we estimate have negatively impacted our sales for this year approximately $1,020,000. Given the fact that our product saves money and companies are looking to save costs as oil prices increase, we expect the global economic uncertainly will continue to negatively affect our sales revenues through part of the last quarter of 2009 and diminish thereafter

Optimizing our limited resources and obtaining sufficient capital will be key to accomplishing our goals. We will need to remain focused on working with OEMs, continue developing the independent distributors we have onboard and maintain growth within the major accounts using our system. To accomplish these tasks, we will need to obtain capital funding and add appropriate sales and marketing support to be sure our distributors and customers are served. Subject to the receipt of additional funding, we will be adding application engineers and product engineers as we grow our OEM account list. A second application engineer and product engineer will be needed as we add our third OEM and a new major distributor. The expansion into the OEM area, even though it is very demanding due to response time needed to meet their needs, is also rewarding in the aspect that it provides a steady flow of material requirements for our manufacturing area giving us more stability in manufacturing personnel, a stronger supply chain with steady production, economies of scale and the ability to better utilize our overhead with higher average material turn rates.

As described elsewhere herein, we continue to address our liquidity and working capital issues as we continue to seek to raise additional capital from institutional and private investors and current stockholders. Historically, we have faced difficulties in raising adequate capital and we anticipate that those efforts will continue given the uncertainties facing the capital markets in the U.S. We also continue to implement cost reductions in an effort to improve margins, including securing alternative suppliers for raw materials and manufacturing and we anticipate these cost reductions will impact our results of operations during the balance of 2009 and beyond. However, due to raw material price increases and the recent economic environment, the Company has been able to pass on only a portion of these costs as product price increases and has been forced to absorb some of these increases. The Company does not expect this increase to be offset by customer price increases until mid-year 2010. Although the Company’s margins have declined throughout 2009 and the cost of sales exceeded sales in the three-month period ending September 30, 2009, this is attributable to the allocation of fixed and variable factory costs over significantly fewer sales. The Company expects to achieve improved margins beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009 and restore margins to 2008 levels by mid-year 2010.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred net losses each year since inception and have relied on the sale of our stock from time to time and loans from third parties and from related parties to fund our operations. These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from an institutional investor and current stockholder have led our independent registered public accounting firm Webb & Company P.A. to include a statement in its audit report relating to ours audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities when they become due and to generate profitable operations in the future. We plan to continue to provide for our capital requirements through the sale of equity securities, however, we have no firm commitments from any third party to provide this financing and we cannot assure you we will be successful in raising working capital as needed. There are no assurances that we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan, pay our obligations as they become due or generate positive operating results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, financing operations, warranty obligations and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect us more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial conditions of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We provide for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on customer specific identification and historical collection experience. If market conditions decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense.

The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which is generally net 30 or net 60 days. Once collection efforts by us and our collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.

Estimation of product warranty cost

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

Estimation of inventory obsolescence

We provide for estimated inventory obsolescence or unmarketable inventory in amounts equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Impairment of long-lived assets

We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets under the guidelines of FASB ASC 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Factors that we consider in making this evaluation include estimating the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to result from the assets over their remaining useful life. Should our estimates of these factors change, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when earned. Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the provisions issued in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers is recorded when products that do not require further services or installation us are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and for which liability is reasonably assured. We provide for sales returns based on an historical analysis of returns. The estimate is updated for current return activity and the provision is adjusted accordingly. Should actual returns exceed management’s estimates, the provision may require further adjustment and accordingly, net sales may decrease.

Product returns

Consistent with industry practices, we may accept limited product returns or provide other credits in the event that a distributor holds excess inventory of our products. During the three-months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, product returns totaled $9,055 and $16,353, respectively. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, product returns totaled $13,165 and $34,268, respectively. Increased product returns during 2008, over 2007, was primarily attributable to one customer’s excess inventory purchases acquired during 2007. Our sales are made on credit terms, which vary depending on the nature of the sale. We believe we have established sufficient reserves to accurately reflect the amount or likelihood of product returns or credits and uncollectible receivables.

Net Sales

The following table outlines details related to sales and sales returns and the amount of increase or decrease reflected in net sales in comparing the three-months ended September 30, 2009 to the three-months ended September 30, 2008:


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2009		2008			Change
Gross sales	$	397	$	608		$	(211	)
Sales returns and allowances		1		(11	)		12

US international sales		123		222			(99	)
UK sales		2		88			(86	)
Net Sales	$	398	$	597		$	(199	)

Net sales decreased by approximately $199,000 or 33% from approximately $597,000 in 2008 to approximately $398,000 in 2009.

During the three-month period ending September 30, 2009, the cumulative historical rate of returns sales returns increased from 3.50% to 3.54% resulting in a credit to sales returns of $1,000. During the three-month period ending September 30, 2008, the return rate remained at 3.88%. Overall, historical return rates have continued to decline as improvements have been made to the products.

Sales to three customers accounted for approximately $65,000, $53,000 and $38,000, or 16%, 13% and 10% (for a total of 39%) respectively of the consolidated net sales for the three-months ended September 30, 2009. Sales to three customers individually accounted for approximately 16%, 11% and 10% (for a total 37%) of net sales for the three-months ended September 30, 2008.

The US international sales decreased approximately $99,000 or 45%, from approximately $222,000 for the period ending September 30, 2008 to approximately $123,000 for the period ending September 30, 2009. This decrease is due almost entirely from the decline in sales from a single customer, which has been significantly affected by the global economy. Their requirement for our product still exists due to the use of fuels, which effect the oil replacement intervals which should produce similar sales as in the past once the economic conditions improve, although there can be no assurances.

The UK subsidiary’s sales decreased by approximately $86,000 (approximately 98%), from approximately $88,000 to approximately $2,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2008. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in sales to two customers by approximately $40,000 and $39,000, respectively. International sales totaled approximately $125,000 (31%) of the net consolidated sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to approximately $310,000 (52%) for the comparable period in 2008.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales, increased from approximately 90% in 2008 to approximately 108% in 2009. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales is attributable to the significant decrease in sales and allocation of fixed and variable factory costs over fewer sales. There was an increase of approximately $18,000 attributable to increases in inventory allowance, which was offset by a decrease in direct and indirect factory wages and benefits of approximately $22,000, due to layoffs as well as a freight expense decrease of approximately $13,000, due to lower sales volumes.

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages decreased approximately $22,000, or approximately 9%. Approximately $13,000 of the decrease is due to an Engineering vacancy and a warehouse reduction while approximately $7,000 of this decrease is the result of the closing of the UK office closing in 2008. The Company anticipates the warehouse reduction to remain through the end of 2009, while the Engineering vacancy is temporarily filled.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $172,000, or approximately 43%. This decrease is due to a decrease in exchange rate losses, decreases in UK office expenses, bad debt expenses and professional fees of approximately $118,000, $32,000, $28,000 and $19,000, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in stock based compensation expenses of approximately $40,000. The Company expects to continue to see overall decreases in selling and administrative costs through the remainder of 2009.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased slightly, less than $1,000. This decrease is due to lower interest rates and earnings on the Company’s checking accounts balances.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by approximately $34,000, or approximately 46%, as a result of a decrease in the interest rate and the outstanding balance of the stockholder notes payable. The Company pays interest monthly on the notes payable to stockholder at a weighted average of two facilities, one is based on a minimum of 2.75% or prime rate less .5% and the other is based on Libor plus 1.40, with rates reset as often as the Federal Reserve changes interest rates. The weighted average interest rate of the two notes was 2.51% as of September 30, 2009 as opposed to 4.77% as of September 30, 2008.

Results of Operations for the Nine-months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to the Nine-months Ended September 30, 2008

The following table sets forth the amount of increase or decrease represented by certain items reflected in the our condensed consolidated statements of operations in comparing the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 to the nine-months ended September 30, 2008:

Net Sales

The following table outlines details related to sales and sales returns and the amount of increase or decrease reflected in net sales in comparing the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 to the nine-months ended September 30, 2008:


(in thousands)	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2009			2008		Change
Gross sales	$	1,429		$	2,134	$	(705	)
Sales returns and allowances		(3	)		19		(22	)

UK sales		71			658		(587	)

Net Sales	$	1,426		$	2,153	$	(727	)

Net sales decreased by approximately $727,000, or 34%, from approximately $2,153,000 in 2008 to approximately $1,426,000 in 2009.

During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2009, the cumulative historical rate of sales returns decreased from 3.87% to 3.54% resulting in an expense of approximately $3,000. During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2008, the return rate decreased from 4.13% to 3.88%, resulting in a credit to sales return of approximately $19,000. Overall, historical return rates have continued to decline as improvements have been made to the products.

Sales to two customers individually accounted for approximately 28% and approximately 11% (for a total 39%) and approximately 20% and approximately 16% (for a total of 36%) of net sales for the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

The US domestic sales increased approximately $198,000. An increase in sales to two customers, of approximately $400,000 and $27,000 respectively, accounted for the majority of the increase and were offset by decreases in sales among several customer accounts.

The US international sales decreased approximately $338,000 or 59%, from approximately $577,000 for the period ending September 30, 2008 to approximately $239,000 for the period ending September 30, 2009. This decrease is due entirely from the decline in sales from a single international customer, which has been significantly affected by the global economy.

The UK subsidiary’s sales decreased by approximately $587,000 or 89%, from approximately $658,000 for the period ending September 30, 2008, to approximately $71,000 for the period ending September 30, 2009. Sales to two of the UK subsidiary’s customers decreased by approximately $343,000 and $107,000, respectively, from approximately $430,000 and $147,000, respectively for the period ending September 30, 2008 to approximately $86,000 and $39,000, respectively for the period ending September 30, 2009. We believe that the decline in the global economy has contributed to this significant decline in our international sales volume.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales, increased from approximately 84% in 2008 to approximately 99% in 2009. The increase is attributable to the significant decrease in sales during the first and third quarters of 2009 and allocation of fixed and variable factory costs over fewer sales. Additionally, increases occurred in scrap expense, inventory allowance and rent expenses of approximately $23,000, $22,000 and $13,000 respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases in direct and indirect labor and freight expenses of approximately $101,000, $9,000, and $63,000 respectively.

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages decreased approximately $46,000, or approximately 6%. This decrease is the result of a decrease in salaries and wages of approximately $20,000 generated in the UK office and approximately $11,000 due to an Engineering vacancy for the period ending March 31, 2009. This decrease was partially offset by additional salaries and wages expenses incurred in the US office. The Company expects to see an overall decrease in expenses for the year, however the Engineering vacancy has been temporarily filled.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $212,000 or approximately 24% from approximately $882,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $670,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was due to exchange rate gains, decreases in UK office expenses, professional fees, sales and marketing and patent expenses of approximately $254,000, $65,000, $42,000, $32,000 and $21,000, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases in stock based compensation and reserve for bad debt expenses of approximately $116,000 and $13,000 respectively. The Company anticipates expenses to continue to decline during the remainder of the year.

Interest Income

Interest Income decreased approximately $178,000. This decrease is attributable to a reserve established against shareholder loan interest due that was previously accrued on a principal balance of $756,250 at 5.63% beginning July 25, 2001. The Company anticipates income to decline slightly for the remainder of the year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by approximately $123,000, or approximately 51%, as a result of a decrease in the interest rate outstanding balance of the stockholder notes payable. The Company pays interest monthly on the notes payable to stockholder at prime rate less .5%, with rates reset as often as the Federal Reserve changes interest rates, which was an average of 2.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as opposed to an average of 4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $96,000, as compared to approximately $117,000 at December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2009, we had negative working capital of approximately $186,000 and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was .89 to 1. At December 31, 2008 we had working capital of approximately $245,000 and our current ratio was 1.16 to 1. The decrease in working capital and current ratio is primarily attributable to decreases in inventory and prepaid expenses of approximately $277,000 and $67,000 and increases in accrued liabilities of approximately $96,000.

We have incurred net losses each year since inception and at September 30, 2009 we had an accumulated deficit of $50,136,898. Our net sales are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. Historically, we have relied on the sale of our stock from time to time and loans from third parties and from related parties to fund our operations. During 2008, we raised a total of $1.727 million in capital from an institutional investor and current stockholders and during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 we raised an additional $1.776 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, we owe our CEO $5.53 million for funds he has advanced to us from time to time for working capital. Interest expense on this loan was approximately $113,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

We do not currently have any commitments for capital expenditures. Currently, without additional equity investments, we expect our operating cash flows will suffice through mid-year 2010. We are actively seeking additional equity investments, however, it is possible we will be required to accelerate our contingent plans to more aggressively reduce spending as described below. The impact of the global economy has and will continue to affect our revenue levels for the balance of 2009 and while we anticipate cash flows from 2009 sales activity to be stronger toward the end of the year, based on recent orders. Our cash flows have significantly improved from 2008 and the capital funding raised will be able to support operations, meet our working capital needs and satisfy our obligations as they become due through 2009 and into 2010. In addition, as set forth above, we owe one of our directors $5.53 million which is due on December 31, 2010 or (i) at such time as we have raised an additional $7 million over the $3.5 million raised in prior offerings, or (ii) at such time as we are operating within sufficient cash flow parameters to sustain operations, or (iii) until a disposition of our company, such as an acquisition or merger, occurs. We do not have sufficient funds to pay this loan when it becomes due and there are no assurances our director will extend the due date. We continue to address liquidity concerns because of inadequate revenue growth. As a result, cash flow from operations is insufficient to cover our liquidity needs for the next twelve months of operations. We have implemented measures to preserve our ability to operate, including organizational changes, a reduction and/or deferral of salaries, reduction in personnel and renegotiating creditor and collection arrangements. If budgeted sales levels are not achieved and/or significant unanticipated expenditures occur, or if we are not able to raise additional investment capital, we may have to modify our business plan, reduce or discontinue some of our operations or seek a buyer for part of our assets to continue as a going concern through 2010. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or that sales will increase to the level required to generate profitable operations to provide positive cash flow from operations. In that event, it is possible that stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Operating activities

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 net cash used in operating activities was approximately $804,000, which primarily resulted from the net loss of approximately $1,667,000. The effect of the net loss on working capital is offset by a decrease in inventories, shareholder receivables, and prepaid expenses of approximately $277,000, $176,000 and $67,000 respectively and increases in stock related compensation expense and accrued liabilities of approximately $244,000 and $96,000, respectively.

Investing activities

For the nine months ending September 30, 2009 approximately $43,000 cash was used in investing activities, primarily related to computer and software acquisitions.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $939,000 for the period, due to approximately 1,783,000 of net proceeds received from private stock transactions issued for cash offset by a net reduction of approximately $842,000 of the stockholder loan. This loan is a line of credit made available to us by our President and CEO, who is also a member of our Board of Directors and principal stockholder of our company. Approximately $1,000,000 of the stock proceeds were received during the third quarter of 2009, with the remaining transactions occurring during the first five months of the year, primarily from new investors. The majority of reductions in stockholder loan occurred in August 2009, as proceeds were received from stock transactions, and were paid to the credit facility for future borrowing capacity.

Critical Accounting Policy

New Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 166”). FASB ASC 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC 860 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105 “GAAP.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. FASB ASC 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB ASC 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Company has updated references accordingly and it has no affect on its financial position or results of operation.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations. However, any significant decrease in the price for oil or labor, environmental compliance costs, and engine replacement costs could adversely impact the end users cost/benefit analysis as to the use of our products. The impact of fluctuations in foreign currency has not been significant. The exchange rate, the Great British pound to the U.S. dollar fluctuated from 1.4479 on December 31, 2008 to 1.5922 on September 30, 2009 as compared to 1.9973 on December 31, 2008 to 1.9489 on September 30, 2008.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.


ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, which includes our CEO and our Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of a date (the “Evaluation Date”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of the Evaluation Date, our CEO and Chief Financial Officer concluded that we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On July 7, 2009 the Company filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Courts in 15th Judicial District in an for Palm Beach County, Florida, styled Puradyn Filter Technologies, Inc. versus Richard C. Ford case number 502009CA023128XXXXMB. In this action against Mr. Ford, our former Chief Executive Officer, the Company is alleging non-payment of three promissory notes totaling $756,250 with interest at a rate of 5.63% per annum since July 25, 2001, the execution date of the notes. As of November 13, 2009 interest on all three notes amounts to $353,796, for an aggregate amount owing of $1,110,046. At the time of the execution of these promissory notes, Mr. Ford was Chief Executive Officer of the Company and drafter of these instruments. The Company is seeking payment of the promissory notes and accrued interest. On August 7, 2009, Mr. Ford responded by filing a Motion to Disqualify the Company’s legal counsel, Gary E. Susser and request a staying action until such time as the Company obtains new legal counsel. As of November 13, 2009, the hearing for this motion has not been scheduled in court. On September 16, 2009 a hearing on Order to Show Cause occurred. On October 26, 2009 a ruling was issued, denying the Company’s request for custody of the collateral. On November 5, 2009 Richard Ford filed a motion to stay proceeding pending payment of documentary stamps and amendment of the complaint and relief from prior orders relating to production of information pertaining to the sale of stock. On November 5, 2009, the Company filed a Motion for Rehearing on Plaintiff’s Request for Possession to obtain custody of the collateral. This was heard on November 12, 2009, and the Company is awaiting a ruling.

On July 13, 2009, Richard C. Ford filed a demand for Arbitration, Case No. 32 145 00573 09 with the American Arbitration Association, Commercial Tribunal, claiming that his contract was terminated without cause and commissions earned were unpaid. This case evolves from the contract between the Company and R.C.Ford and Associates, dated January 1, 2009, which was terminated on July 2, 2009. On August 25, 2009, the Company filed a Denial of Claim, stating that all monies due were paid and contract was terminated. On October 28, 2009 a preliminary hearing was held. On November 9, 2009, the Company filed Respondent’s Factual Bases for Affirmative Defenses. A final Arbitration Hearing was scheduled on April 21, 2010. On November 11, 2009, Richard C. Ford withdrew his demand for arbitration.
