EXPLANATORY NOTE


The Company is filing this Quarterly Report for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, late due to delays in the preparation and review of the unaudited financial statements included herein.  Our offices in Plainview, Nassau County, New York did not recommence limited operations until Monday, November 5, 2012.  Nassau County was particularly hard hit by the hurricane. Resumption of full operations in our offices has been delayed further by northeaster storm that hit this area following the hurricane Sandy and the shortage of gas on Long Island that prevented our staff from showing up at work.  Full operations were not resumed until Monday, November 12, 2012.  In summary, ten or more days were lost in our preparation of the Company’s quarterly financial statements, which are complex and require a substantial amount of review time and work with Marcum LLP and an outside accountant. We have been advised by both firms that their work schedules were impacted by Hurricane Sandy, as have those of many other accounting and financial firms in the New York area.  In conformity with and reliance upon the Order (the “Order”) under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions from Specific Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder (Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release No. 68224, November 14, 2012), the Company is filing this Quarterly Report on or before November 21, 2012, in reliance on and as permitted by the Order, since the Company was not able to meet the November 19, 2012 Form 12b-25 extended filing deadline applicable to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the above stated reasons.

PureSafe Water Systems Inc. and Subsidiary
 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

PureSafe Water Systems, Inc.  (the "Company")  is a Delaware corporation engaged in the design, development, manufacturing  and sales of the  PureSafe™ First Response Water System (the “FRWS”), both within and outside of the United States. The Company's corporate headquarters and factory are located in Plainview, New York.

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included.
 
The operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates, among other things, are used in accounting for allowances for deferred income taxes, expected realizable values for long-lived assets (primarily intangible assets and property and equipment), contingencies, as well as the recording and presentation of its common stock.  Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements of PureSafe Water Systems, Inc. include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PureSafe Manufacturing and Research Corporation. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Inventories

Inventory amounts are stated at lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market.

Deferred Financing Costs

Cost incurred in conjunction with the debt financing has been capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense using the straight line method, which approximates the interest rate method over the term of the debt and is included as a component of other assets.

Derivative Liabilities

In connection with the issuance of certain convertible promissory notes, the terms of the convertible notes included an embedded conversion feature; which provided for the settlement of certain convertible promissory notes into shares of common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable.  The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  As a result of entering into the convertible promissory notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period at each balance sheet date.  The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date.  If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The fair value of conversion options at a fixed number of shares are recorded using the intrinsic value method and conversion options at variable rates are deemed to be a “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815.  Since, “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Intrinsic Value Method to be materially the same. Warrants that have been reclassed to derivative liability that did not contain “down-round protection” were valued using the  black-scholes model. The Company’s outstanding warrants did not contain any down round protection.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted.  The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates.  The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants.  The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or options granted
The principal assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model were as follows:

   
For the nine months ended
 
   
September 30,
2012
 
Assumptions:
     
Risk-free interest rate
 
0.31% to 1.04%
 
Expected life
 
0.22 to 5.84 years
 
Expected volatility
    110 %
Dividends
    0.0 %


Stock-Based Compensation

The Company reports stock-based compensation under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.  ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, which require that each such equity instrument is recorded at its fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed.
 
The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair values of options. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the subject options or warrants.

The principal assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model were as follows:

   
For the nine months ended
 
   
September 30,
2012
 
Assumptions:
     
Risk-free interest rate

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $2,026,000 and $3,395,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $4.7 million and $3.9 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The Company continues to incur recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit since inception of approximately $44 million.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s plans with respect to these matters include restructuring its existing debt and raising additional capital through future issuances of stock and/or debt.  The Company is seeking to raise an additional $2 million within the next six months and an additional 3 million within the next twelve months to fund the following activities: to manufacture 10 commercial PureSafe FRWS units within the next six months and an additional 15 units within the next twelve months; to expand production capability to meet the expected demand for the FRWS domestically and internationally by a combination of expanding the current production facility at 160 Dupont Street, re-engineering and value engineering the FRWS to outsource assembly where appropriate; continue to implement our established marketing program, to establish a sales and marketing network which includes hiring a Vice President of Marketing and Sales Directors to achieve additional sales by the second quarter of 2013.

On August 16, 2012 the Company filed Schedule 14 C with the Securities and Exchange Commission to notify the Shareholders that on August 7, 2012 the Company received unanimous written consent from the Board and the holder of Series B Preferred Stock to authorize an increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock from 450,000,000 to 800,000,000 shares. The Series B Preferred Stock, 51 shares authorized and issued to Leslie J. Kessler had voting rights equal to 7,488,254 shares per each share of Series B Preferred Stock. The number of votes that voted in favor of the action was 381,900,954.

The extent of these initiatives will be contingent upon the amount of capital raised.

The Company can give no assurance that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to us, or at all.  Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operational activities. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not believed by management to have, a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 – INVENTORIES

NOTE 6: NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK.
 
Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. Common stock equivalents were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements.  As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Standard clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement.

ASC 820 establishes the following hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

 
Level 1 – Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 – Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
 
Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.
 
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2012 are as follows:

   
Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liabilities
(Level 1)
   
Significant Other Observable Inputs
(Level 2)

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of derivative liabilities associated with convertible debt that contains an indeterminable conversion share price and the tainted warrants as the Company cannot determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements.  

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

(a)
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued multiple convertible promissory notes for gross proceeds of $656,000.  The Company issued the lender for each loan a convertible promissory note bearing interest at rates of 8% to 12% per annum with maturity dates of September 15, 2012 to August 31, 2013.  The loans and accrued interest are to be paid on the maturity dates.  Each loan is evidenced by the promissory note the Company issued to the lender which contains conversion clauses that allow the lenders the option to convert the loan amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest due under the note into common stock.  Each of the notes contains variable conversion prices representing discount rates between 5% to 50% of market price.  In addition, the Company also issued total 1,100,000 warrants to the lenders to purchase additional shares of common stock at exercise of $0.025 to $0.05.  These warrants have term of 5 years.  In addition a noteholder received 4,375,000 shares of common stock in consideration for entering into the note.
 
The Company accounted for the issuance of the convertible promissory notes and the warrants/shares attached to these notes in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.  Accordingly, the warrants and the embedded conversion option of the convertible notes are recorded as derivative liabilities at their fair market value and are marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period.  The gross proceeds from the sale of these notes are recorded net of a total discount of $611,100.  The debt discount relates to the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the conversion option and the fair value of the warrants attached to the notes.  The debt discount is charged to interest expense ratably over the term of the convertible note.
 
In addition, the Company incurred approximately $120,000 of financing cost related to these transactions which will be amortized over the term of the loans. 

(b)
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, at the request of the lender the Company converted $247,771 of notes payable and accrued interest to convertible notes payable.

General

PureSafe Water Systems, Inc. (herein referred to as the “Company”, “Puresafe”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1987.   The manufacture and marketing of water coolers and filters constituted a substantial part of our business from 1993 until the fourth quarter of 2001, at which time such operations were sold and we began concentrating on the further development, manufacturing and marketing of a patented line of water purification systems.   Between January 2002 and November 2011, we have generated nominal revenues and were deemed for accounting purposes to be a development stage enterprise.  

We have generated our first sale of the FRWS in December of 2011 followed by our second sale in the first quarter of 2012.  Accordingly, we are no longer deemed to be a development stage enterprise.  We are, however, an early stage commercial enterprise.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming our company will continue as a going concern.   The PureSafe FRWS is the product line by which we have generated our first significant sales since 2001.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Revenues.  We recognized $0 revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared with $0 for the same period in 2011.

Cost of goods sold.  Cost of goods sold for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $3,602 as compared with $0 for the same period in 2011.

Selling, general and administrative.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $752,175 compared to $687,225 for the same period in 2011, a $64,950 or 9% decrease. 

The following is an analysis of some categories that have significant fluctuations between 2012 and 2011.
Total professional fees increased $46,609 from $26,531 to $73,140.  The $46,409 or 175% increase was largely due to billing adjustment for prior quarter activities.  Director Fees decreased from $62,500 in 2011 to $12,400 in 2012, a $50,100 or 80% decrease.  The main reason for the decrease in director fees is that, effective January 1, 2012, the directors receive warrants instead of shares since after the Board on December 6, 2011, approved replacing directors annual compensation of $50,000 with three year warrants payable quarterly.  Rent related expenses decreased $44,719 or 45% from $99,054 in 2011 to $54,335 in 2012.  The 45% decrease is primarily due to the consolidation of our two facilities that is occurred in March 2012.   Marketing expense increased $174,512 from $2,211 in 2011 to $176,723 in 2012.  We made a one-time adjustment to accrue $169,444 in marketing consulting fees that we owed to a consultant.  Stock Based Compensation decreased $202,200 from $214,600 in 2011 to $12,400 in 2012.  As discussed earlier, Director Fees, which is one component of total Stock Based Compensation, decreased $50,100 because we have replaced the share based compensation with warrant based compensation.  In the 3rd quarter of 2011, we awarded 1,000,000 shares each to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  We recorded $138,000 stock based compensation in connection with such issuances.  We did not have any stock based compensation activities other than the director fee in the same period of 2012.

Research and development.  Research and development expenses for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 were $0, compared to $52,130 in 2011.  Due to fund restriction, we have curtailed the expenses on research and development and focus on production.  However, we understand the vital importance of research and development for our overall success. We are committed to continue to conduct research and development activities to ensure PureSafe FRWS has the most advanced technology within the water filtration equipment industry.

Interest expense - non-debt discount related incurred in the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $181,957 and $128,273, respectively, a $53,684 or 41% increase.  The increase of non-debt discount related interest expense was primarily due to the new loans created in the 3rd quarter of 2012.

Interest expense - debt discount related incurred in the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $480,064 and $150,325, respectively, a $329,739 or a 219% increase.  The large increase on the debt related debt discount was the result of increased cost of borrowing in this quarter.
 
Change in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion options.  Changes in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion options for three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $392,700 and $(445,000), respectively.

The accounting treatment, pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, of derivative financial instruments requires that we record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the convertible debenture agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  As a result of issuing the convertible promissory notes, we were required to reclassify all other non-employee warrants and options as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date.  We reassess the classification of the instruments at each balance sheet date.  If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
 
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Revenues.  We recognized $265,000 revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared with $0 for the same period in 2011.

Cost of goods sold.  Cost of goods sold for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $286,237 as compared with $0 for the same period in 2011.
 
 
18

 

Gross Profit.  Gross profit before selling, general and administrative expenses and other income(loss) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was ($21,320) as compared with $0 for the same period in 2011.

Selling, general and administrative.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $1,852,371 compared to $2,445,111 for the same period in 2011, a $592,740 or 24% decrease.

The following is an analysis of some categories that have significant fluctuations between 2012 and 2011.  Director Fees decreased from $187,500 in 2011 to $87,600 in 2012, a $99,900 or 53% decrease.  The main reason for the decrease in director fees is that, effective January 1, 2012, the directors receive warrants instead of shares after the Board on December 6, 2011 approved replacing directors annual compensation of $50,000 with three year warrants payable quarterly.   Production related overhead incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is $68,667, compared with $208,749 in the same period of 2011, a $140,082 or 66% decrease.  The primarily reason for the decrease in the production related expenses was i.) we reclassified $85,659 manufacturing overhead to cost of goods sold and ii.) we incurred $56,946 less in production labor in 2012 than in the same period of 2011 because we used less outside labor which usually has higher labor rates.  Marketing expense increased $98,715 from $91,662 in 2011 to $190,377 in 2012.  As discussed in the Results of Operation for the three month period ending September 30, 2012, we made a one-time adjustment to accrue $169,444 in marketing consulting fees that we owed to a consultant.

Compensation and related benefits, including stock based compensation, decreased $587,538 or 42% from $1,392,190 in 2011 to $804,652 in the same period of 2012.  The 42% decrease was due to the following factors: a.)effective January 1, 2012, the directors receive warrants instead of shares since after the Board approved replacing directors annual compensation of $50,000 with three year warrants payable quarterly–thus, the fair value for the director fees in 2012 is significantly lower than in 2011; and b.) we incurred $615,225 less in stock based compensation, from $781,925 in 2011 to $166,700 in the same period of 2012.    

Research and development.  Research and development expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 were $58,239, compared to $135,470 in 2011, a decrease of $77,231 or 57%.  As discussed in the three month comparison section, due to fund restrictions, we have curtailed the expenses on research and development in 2012.  We understand the vital importance of research and development for our overall success and are committed to continue to conduct research and development activities to ensure PureSafe FRWS has the most advanced technology within the water filtration equipment industry.

Loss on disposal of Leasehold Improvement.  We moved our headquarters to our 160 Dupont Street facility on March 16, 2012.  As a result, we wrote-off $34,708 of leasehold improvement from our books and recorded as loss on disposal of equipment.

Interest expense - non-debt discount related incurred in nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $298,564 and $205,964, respectively.  The $92,600 or 44% increase was primarily attributable to interest from the new loans that we obtained during the nine months of 2012.  

Interest expense - debt discount related incurred in nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $660,090 and $313,921, respectively, a $346,169 or 110% increase.  The large increase on the debt related debt discount was the result of increased cost of borrowing in 2012.
 
Change in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion options.  Changes in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion options for nine month ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $790,600 and $(445,000), respectively.

The accounting treatment, pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, of derivative financial instruments requires that we record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the convertible debenture agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  As a result of issuing the convertible promissory notes, we were required to reclassify all other non-employee warrants and options as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date.  We reassess the classification of the instruments at each balance sheet date.  If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

On August 3, 2011, the Company borrowed $125,000 from a private investor and issued to the investor a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 (the “Note”).  The Note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum and is convertible at any time after the maturity date (December 1, 2011) into shares of common stock of the Company at a 30% discount from the current market price (as defined in the Note).  Because the conversion clause in the note made the total shares that could be converted from the convertible notes not determinable, we were required to reinstate and reclassify all other non-employee warrants and options and embedded conversion options that were reclassified to equity on December 31, 2010 as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values on the date we issued this convertible promissory note and record any change in fair value as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date.

The change in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion options for any period is always primarily the result of the following factors.  The first factor is the fair value we recorded as the result of new issuances of warrants and the embedded conversion value.   The second factor is the reduction of outstanding options or warrants at the end of each period due to warrant/options exercise or warrants/options expired during the same period.  The third factor is the fluctuation of the Company’s stock price.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, we maintained a cash balance of $75,148 as compared to $113,838 as of the same date in 2011.

Net cash used in the operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to same period of 2011 decreased by $624,450 or 47% from $1,326,881 to $702,431 respectively.  The main factor for the decrease of net cash used in operating activities is that we spent considerable less cash on purchasing inventories in 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.

Net cash used in investing activities in 2012 and 2011 was $0 and $7,400.
 
In the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we raised $200,000 and $628,420 through sales of our common stock and warrant exercises, respectively.  Funds received in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 from convertible promissory notes and promissory notes were $656,000 and $472,091, respectively.  We paid $120,649 in financing costs associated with loans created in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $0 in the same period of 2011.  Funds received from officers’ and directors’ convertible loans for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $80,000 and $225,000, respectively.  Cash used to repay notes payable in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $140,000 and $4,150, respectively.   Cash used to repay officers and directors notes were $16,000 and $40,000, respectively.   From the above activities, net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $659,351 and $1,281,361, respectively.

From all the above activities, net cash used for nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $43,080 and $52,920, respectively.

At September 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $4.7 million.  We continue to suffer recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit since inception of approximately $44 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our plans with respect to these matters include restructuring its existing debt and raising additional capital through future issuances of stock and/or debt.  We are seeking to raise an additional $2 million within the next six months and an additional 3 million within the next twelve months to fund the following activities: to manufacture 10 commercial PureSafe FRWS units within the next six months and an additional 15 units within the next twelve months; to expand production capability to meet the expected demand for the FRWS domestically and internationally by a combination of expanding the current production facility at 160 Dupont Street, re-engineering and value engineering the FRWS to outsource assembly where appropriate; continue to implement our established marketing program, to establish a sales and marketing network which includes hiring a Vice President of Marketing and Sales Directors to achieve additional sales by the second quarter of 2013.

On August 16, 2012 we filed Schedule 14 C with the Securities and Exchange Commission to notify the Shareholders that on August 7, 2012 the Company received unanimous written consent from the Board and the holder of Series B Preferred Stock to authorize an increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock from 450,000,000 to 800,000,000 shares. The Series B Preferred Stock, 51 shares authorized and issued to our Chief Executive Officer had voting rights equal to 7,488,254 shares per each share of Series B Preferred Stock. The number of votes that voted in favor of the action was 381,900,954.

The extent of these initiatives will be contingent upon the amount of capital raised.

We can give no assurance that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to us, or at all.  Should we not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations, we would need to curtail certain or all of our operational activities. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not believed by management to have, a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of the statements in accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our judgment, for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities and estimating expenses. The following is a list of what we believe are the most critical estimations that we make when preparing our consolidated financial statements.
 
Stock-Based Compensation

We reports stock-based compensation under ASC 718.  ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.

We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and 505, which require that each such equity instrument is recorded at its fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the options or their equivalent granted. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants that have no vesting restrictions and that are fully transferable. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the options granted.

We have issued equity instruments in the past to raise capital and as a means of compensation to employees and for the settlement of debt. 

Income taxes
 
We account for income taxes under guidance provided by ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.
 
In accordance with ASC 740, interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as “Interest expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “General and administrative expenses.”
 
Our uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. We file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2007.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Our management identified the following material weaknesses as of September 30, 2012.

Entity Level.  We recognize the need to provide leadership and guidance to our employees regarding the maintenance and preparation of financial matters.  There is a weakness due to the fact that there are not documented policies and procedures in place for certain procedures.  An audit committee has not been established.
 
Financial Reporting.  There needs to be a more structured mechanism for evidence of review in the financial reporting process.  The following procedures have been implemented since the beginning of 2009, (a) CFO signs and date all financial documents upon the completion of reviewing such documents, (b) all approval or permission will be evidenced by either email or in writing.  No oral approval or permission is allowed, (c) General Journal is recorded only after CFO approves (in writing) such entry and (d) monthly bank reconciliations must complete within 15 days after month ends and reviewed by CFO 5 days after the completion of bank reconciliation.

Confidential Reporting Mechanism.  We recognize that we need to provide leadership and guidance to our employees, clients and vendors regarding business ethics and professional conduct. A confidential reporting mechanism must be in place for anonymous reporting of a breach to these ethics that will enable prompt and thorough investigation. In January 2009, we implemented a whistleblower program.  A toll-free number, as well as an email address, were posted on the homepage of our website to encourage our employee, contractors, sub-contractors, vendors to report any unethical or illegal behavior they suspect.

The entire staff consists of three officers, one Controller and one receptionist.  Therefore, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls to lessen the issue of segregation of duties.  Upon receiving adequate financing the Company plans to increase its controls in these areas by hiring more experienced employees in financial reporting, establishing an audit committee and formally documenting the controls the Company has in place.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions regarding 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.  Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of our 2012 fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
