REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
STW Resources, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of STW Resources, Inc. (the Company) (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from Inception (January 28, 2008) to December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of STW Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from Inception (January 28, 2008) to December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its business activities.  These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

STW RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
1.
Organization, Nature of Activities and Basis of Presentation

STW Resources, Inc. (“STW” or the “Company”) is a development stage Nevada corporation formed on January 28, 2008, to utilize state of the art water reclamation technologies to reclaim fresh water from highly contaminated oil and gas hydraulic fracture flow-back salt water that is produced in conjunction with the production of oil and gas.  STW has been working to establish contracts with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Appalachian Basin of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.  STW, in conjunction with energy producers, operators, various state agencies and legislators, are working to create an efficient and economical solution to this complex problem.  The Company is also evaluating the deployment of similar technology in the municipal wastewater industry.

The Company’s operations are located in the United States of America and the principal executive offices are located at 619 W. Texas Ave Ste 126, Midland, TX 79701.

Status of Relationship with GE Water & Process Technologies

STW entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with GE Water & Process Technologies (“GE Water”), a unit of General Electric Company, dated February 14, 2008 (“MOU”) to jointly develop off-take agreements with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Appalachian Basin.  STW and GE Water formalized their relationship on May 22, 2008, by entering into a definitive Teaming Agreement (“Teaming Agreement”), which superseded the MOU.  The Teaming Agreement was drafted in accordance with the terms of the MOU and provides greater certainty as to each party’s responsibilities and as to the process of entering into agreements with and providing services to customers.  The Teaming Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that will govern the STW and GE Water relationship when STW is successful in selling its services to an identified prospect.

In April 2008, STW entered into a purchase order with GE Water (“Purchase Order”), for the purchase of a modularized produced water evaporator system (the “Evaporator System”) capable of processing approximately 720,000 gallons per day.  The total commitment under the Purchase Order was $14.5 million, to be paid over eight installments.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company has paid a total of approximately $4.7 million.  Included in this total is $300,000 of its $1.5 million second installment payment which was due at the end of June 2008.  The Company is currently in arrears on the remaining $1.1 million under the second installment payment and is also in arrears in its third installment payment of $3.6 million which was due on November 28, 2008, the fourth installment payment of $1.4 million which was due on February 27, 2009, and the fifth installment payment of $1.8 million which was due on August 28, 2009.  The total of all amounts invoiced and unpaid, including accrued interest of approximately $1.4 million, through December 31, 2009, totaled $9.3 million.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Order, the Company is required to post a letter of credit securing the balance of the payments due under the Purchase Order, totaling $1.9 million, which the Company has not yet done.  Finally, in April 2009, the Company issued a change order to the Purchase Order to increase the overall processing capacity to approximately one million gallons per day.  This change order obligated the Company to additional payments totaling approximately $1.2 million.

STW RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On January 12, 2009, GE Water sent a notice of default with respect to the past due payments on the Evaporator System, and the required posting of the letter of credit, as set forth under the Purchase Order, with a requirement that such default be cured within 30 days from the date of the notices.  GE Water took no further action with respect to the notice of default until August 13, 2009.

On August 13, 2009, GE Water provided the Company a six month additional grace period, through February 13, 2010.  At the end of the additional six month grace period, if the Company has not met its obligations, GE Water represented that it would meet with the Company to determine the state of the investment market and grant or not grant an additional grace period, as necessary.  If, after February 13, 2010, GE Water elected to not extend the Company’s payment obligations, GE Water could foreclose on the Evaporator System, resulting in the loss of payments advanced to date by the Company and future use of the Evaporator System under construction.

On October 1, 2009, GE Water sent a letter to STW unilaterally announcing to STW that GE was canceling the Company’s Purchase Order due to STW’s inability to pay the current amounts due.  GE Water also demanded a “termination” payment of $750,000.  In the same letter, GE Water unilaterally announced it was cancelling the Teaming Agreement citing GE Water’s belief that STW was insolvent.  GE Water prefaced its cancellation of the Purchase Order and Teaming Agreement on a failure of GE Water and STW to renegotiate a substitute Teaming Agreement.  On October 8, 2009, STW responded to GE Water in writing rejecting GE Water’s unilateral termination of the Purchase Order and Teaming Agreements, among other things including that GE Water had the contractual requirement to arbitrate certain of the disputed matters raised by GE Water’s October 1, 2009 letter. In discussions in March 2010 between STW management and GE Water, GE Water expressed continued interest in working with the Company by providing technical support and a willingness to resolve their differences, pending the results of STW’s merger and capital raised during the first quarter 2010.

Going Concern

The Company from Inception (January 28, 2008) through December 31, 2009, has not had any significant revenues.  The Company has no significant operating history as of December 31, 2009, has accumulated losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and is currently in default of amounts past due to GE Water.  From Inception (January 28, 2008) through December 31, 2009, management has raised equity and debt financing to fund operations and to provide working capital.  However, there is no assurance that in the future such financing will be available to meet the Company’s needs.

Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond.  These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) continue to work in good faith with GE Water to perform its obligations under the Teaming Agreement and the Purchase Order, (c) executing contracts with oil and gas operators and municipal utility districts; and (d) controlling overhead and expenses.  There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing.  There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy.  To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates
 
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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash.  From time to time, the Company has cash in its bank accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

The Company anticipates entering into long-term, fixed-price contracts for its services with select oil and gas producers and municipal utilities.  The Company will control credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of December 31, 2009, the fair value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable, including amounts due to and from related parties, approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Stock Based Compensation

The Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.  The effective date for the Company’s application of ASC Topic 718 was January 28, 2008 (date of inception).

STW RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

There were no grants of employee options during the period from January 28, 2008 (date of inception) through December 31, 2009.  There were no unvested options outstanding as of the date of the Company’s adoption of ASC Topic 718.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.
 
Expenditures for major additions or improvements, which extend the useful lives of assets, are capitalized.  Minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.  Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company follows ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, which requires that long-lived assets held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted discounted cash flows.  Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the long-lived assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset.  ASC Topic 360 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less disposal costs.
 
Segment reporting
 
The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company follows ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” for recording the provision for income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled.  Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period.  If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.  Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.  Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate.  Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

STW RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At Inception (January 28, 2008), the Company implemented the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC Topic 740 ,which is intended to clarify the accounting for income taxes prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax provision before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. This guidance also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  As a result, the Company has concluded that it does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or any additional tax liabilities after applying this guidance.  The adoption of this guidance therefore had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which has been primarily codified into ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Standards.”  This guidance establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which officially commenced July 1, 2009, to become the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.  All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification is considered nonauthoritative.  The subsequent issuances of new standards will be in the form of Accounting Standards Updates that will be included in the Codification.  Generally, the Codification does not change U.S. GAAP.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company has adopted this standard for the year ending December 31, 2009.  The standard has had a minimal effect on the Company’s financial statement disclosures, as all references to authoritative accounting literature are referenced in accordance with the Codification.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which was primarily codified into FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC, also known collectively as the Codification) Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. In particular, this statement sets forth:

 
·
The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; and

 
·
The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
·
The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.

ASC Topic 855 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively.  The Company adopted ASC Topic 855 as of June 30, 2009.  We evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2009, up through the date these financial statements became available for issue on March 29, 2010.    For further discussion about subsequent events, see Note 10 – Subsequent Events.

On June 1, 2008, the Company requested and obtained temporary waivers of repayment of the April 2008 Notes until the closing of additional equity funding.  In consideration of such extension, the Company issued to each note holder an additional 0.375 share of Common Stock for each dollar of principal advanced.  A total of 41,325 additional shares of Common Stock were issued.  These additional shares of Common Stock were valued at an aggregate of $11,157, based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at that date.  This amount was recorded as a discount to the April 2008 Notes and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the notes.

2009 12% Convertible Notes

In April 2009, the Company commenced an offering of its 12% Convertible Notes (the “2009 12% Convertible Notes”).  Each 2009 12% Convertible Note is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”).   The 2009 12% Convertible Notes bear interest at 12% per annum and mature 12 months from the date of issuance.  For each 2009 12% Convertible Note purchased, each investor received a warrant  to purchase up to such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to one-half of the face amount of the 2009 12% Convertible Note divided by the Conversion Price.  The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  Through December 31, 2009, the Company had issued a total of $740,000 face value of its 12% Convertible Notes for cash.

In April 2009, the holders of the CEO Bridge Note, the January 2009 Bridge Notes, the January 14, 2009 Bridge Note and the March 2009 Bridge Note agreed to convert the $700,000 total of their outstanding notes, plus accrued interest of $12,903 and deferred fees of $15,000, into the 2009 12% Convertible Notes.

In connection with the issuance of the 2009 12% Convertible Notes, the Company had issued 2,935,805 Warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock to investors and an additional 352,296 Warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock, all on the terms set forth above.  Using the Black Scholes pricing model, with volatility of 100%,  a risk-free interest rate of 1.5% and a 0% dividend yield, the warrants were determined to have a fair value of $295,572, with such value recorded as a discount to the 2009 12% Convertible Notes and to additional paid-in capital.  This discount will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the indebtedness.

Deferred Compensation Notes

Beginning in February 2009, the Company has been unable to meet its contractual employment related obligations and has been accruing, as a component of accrued expenses, past due salaries to its employees and, as a component of accounts payable, severance payments payable to its former Chief Executive Officer and fees due its in-house counsel.  Through December 31, 2009, the Company, in partial satisfaction of these past due amounts, had issued $1,071,333 principal amount of 12% convertible notes (the “Deferred Compensation Convertible Notes”) on the basis of $2.00 of Deferred Compensation Convertible Note face value for each $1.00 of compensation deferred.  Each Deferred Compensation Convertible Note is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”).  On December 31, 2009, there was $1,071,333 of the Deferred Compensation Convertible Notes outstanding plus related accrued interest of $48,530 under these notes, in addition to accrued salaries of $327,713 recorded (collectively the“ Deferred Compensation Liabilities”).

Subsequent Events

Effective January 17, 2010, the Company, through a Shareholder Consent of a majority of its shareholders, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with WoozyFly, Inc. ("WoozyFly"), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Nevada and its common shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "WZYFQ", whereby a subsidiary of WoozyFly will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation.  WoozyFly, Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and has requested the bankruptcy court approve a plan pursuant to which WoozyFly, through a subsidiary, acquire STW Resources in a one for one exchange of 26,543,075 shares of common stock and securities of WoozyFly for all of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of the Company, and allow WoozyFly to exit bankruptcy.

On February 12, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company merged with and into an acquisition subsidiary, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).  In consideration for the Merger and the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woozyfly, Woozyfly issued an aggregate of 26,543,075 (the “STW Acquisition Shares”) shares of common stock to the shareholders of the Company at the closing of the merger and all derivative securities of the Company as of the Merger became derivative securities of Woozyfly including options and warrants to acquire 12,613,002 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $3.00 to $8.00 with an exercise period ranging from July 31, 2011 through November 12, 2014 and convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,467,903 with a conversion price of $0.25 and maturity dates ranging from April 24, 2010 through November 12, 2010.

Considering that, following the merger, the shareholders of the Company control the majority of our outstanding voting common stock and we effectively succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs, the Company is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction.  A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of the Company’s securities for our net monetary assets, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, we have not recognized any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction. STW Resources is the surviving and continuing entity and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of STW Resources.  

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company issued a total of $200,000 face value of its 12% Convertible Notes for cash.
