1. Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements, which include the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Vista International Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”), have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial information has not been audited and should not be relied upon to the same extent as audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes contained in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

 

Description of Business

 

The Company is in the business of developing, commercializing and operating renewable energy and waste-to-energy (“WTE”) technologies and projects.

The Company is currently conducting its business in the following areas:

  

  

Tire processing operation in Hutchins, Texas, and

  

  

Renewable energy and WTE projects utilizing the Companys Thermal Gasifier technology and corporate administration at the Companys offices in Commerce City, Colorado.

Discrete financial information is not presently maintained for our WTE business as it has not yet generated any revenues.  In addition, management makes investing and resource allocation decisions based on the combined results of both the processing and WTE business.  Accordingly, we only have one reportable segment.


Going Concern and Management’s Plan

 

The Company reported a net loss of approximately $467,300 and used net cash provided by operating activities of $154,244 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.4 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $67.5 million at June 30, 2013.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to obtain equity investment or additional financing to meet obligations on a timely basis and ultimately achieve profitable operations.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $45,598 ($1,610 in cash and balance as non-cash transaction) from a related party, as well as proceeds from a shareholder loan totaling approximately $15,000 ($9,661 in cash and balance as non-cash transaction) to help with working capital.  We expect that the Company will continue to rely on loans, including those from related parties and issuances of shares in private placements to meet its working capital needs for the immediate future.


Management plans to focus the Companys resources in four key areas:

 

Thermal Gasifier engineering design and deployment

Maximizing value from the Hutchins, Texas tire processing and storage facility.

     Development of project based opportunities

        Attracting strategic investment

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

(unaudited)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations (Continued) 


Management considers the Thermal Gasifier and waste-to-energy segment to be our core business. However, significant focus continues to be  placed on the improvement of the tire processing operation at our Hutchins, TX facility to increase production and reduce operating costs, and expand sales to increase revenue and cash flow.  In February 2012, the Company began operation of the shredding equipment for its TDF production line


We continue to develop our internal resources and implement business development activities to secure waste-to-energy and biomass-to-energy facility opportunities that will utilize our Thermal Gasifier technology through build-own-operate agreements or through joint-venture relationships with strategic partners. We are looking to partner with companies that produce large hydrocarbon-based waste streams and are also in need of thermal and/or electrical energy. We are targeting opportunities where there are high disposal fees and energy rates, where we can use the Thermal Gasifier with back end power systems to provide significant cost savings to the end user.  We are reviewing the economic viability of a number of opportunities in the northeastern United States and in Colorado and are currently working towards obtaining letters of intent from these entities.    We currently have a pilot project being constructed in the northeastern US to showcase the technology and obtain emissions testing data from our current generation of units. Currently, the Company does not have any Thermal Gasifiers in operation.

 

Management believes that current revenue levels will not be sufficient to meet our operational needs and execute the Company’s complete business plan. The Company is seeking additional funding for the activities described above. The Company is exploring various financing opportunities and has a commitment for up to $6 million in funding but does not have a final agreement in place  at the present time.  


Future funding may be through an equity investment, debt or convertible debt. Current market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to secure additional funds, as well as its ability to reach full profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or obtain favorable terms on such financing if it is available.  Continued negative cash flow and lack of liquidity create significant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to fully implement its operating plan, and may result in the Company reducing the scope of its planned operations, scale back or discontinue its technology and project development programs, or obtain funds, if available, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or products or to discontinue its operations entirely.


Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue from our tire fuel processing and storage facility in three ways:

 

  

Disposal fees (tipping fees) for waste tires are fully earned when accepted at the facility


Tire Derived Fuel and other processed tire revenues are fully earned when the product is accepted at the purchasers facility.

  

Sales of unprocessed whole tires are recognized when delivered to the end user

 

Revenue from sales of our Thermal Gasifier will be recognized upon completion, delivery and customer acceptance, using the completed contract method of accounting.   Revenues from other Waste-to-Energy related products or services provided for projects will be recognized when the products are delivered to the end customer, or when services are completed.


During the quarter ended March 31, 2013 the Company began construction of a pilot waste-to-energy project in the northeastern US.  The project is being funded entirely by an outside party.  The Company is receiving payments in advance of services being performed and finished products being delivered to the project site.  As such, these advance payments are being accounted for as deferred revenue in the Company’s financial statements.  When products are purchased or services performed, these transactions will be recorded as deferred expenses in the Company’s financial statements.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the company recorded $166,000 in deferred revenue and $28,774 in deferred expenses for this project.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

   

Encumbrance on Company Assets

 

On September 13, 2011 the Company entered into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to pay a delinquent payroll tax obligation of approximately $88,700, including penalties and interest, at the rate of $5,000 per month.  The IRS has filed a tax lien against the Company in connection with this obligation. Effective January 2013, the monthly installment repayment was reduced to $2,500 from $5,000. The Company expects to use revenues from TDF production at its industrial site in Hutchins Texas to satisfy the remainder of this obligation.


Mechanic’s lien filed by a contractor for approximately $86,000 for services provided October, 2007 through April, 2008.  Lien expired in August 2011 under statute of limitations for such liens in Texas. The liability for this judgment is still included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets


Litigation and Claims


The Company was named in a suit in the Colorado District Court for the 18th District (Arapahoe County) by a former employee alleging that the Company did not meet its obligation to issue shares to the employee.  On July 12, 2011 the Court granted a motion to enforce a settlement dated September 16, 2010. In accordance with the terms of the court order, the Company is obligated to make payments totaling approximately $104,700, including annual 6% interest.   An initial payment of $15,455 was made on July 22, 2011 and monthly payments of $3,000, including interest are due through November 2013.  A final payment of approximately $5,200 will be due in December 2013. The Company has accrued this settlement. The settlement was renegotiated, and a final settlement payment was made in June 2013.  As a result, a gain on settlement of liability of $32,856 was recorded during the period ending June 30, 2013.


Environmental Liability

 

Our tire operations in Texas are subject to regulation by the TCEQ.  At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 10,100 tons of whole tires, partially shredded tires, tire chips and process waste stored onsite at the tire processing and storage facility. Through January 2011, we were able to dispose of this material at a municipal landfill site with minimal disposal and transportation costs. In February, 2011, the landfill transitioned to a project-based system where tire shreds are requested as needed, and the Company is now required to pay transportation and disposal costs in order to reduce its tire shred inventory. Consequently, the Company has since installed a tire derived fuel (TDF) line to create additional revenue from disposal of the tires and has been selling TDF since February 2012.    Based on these new circumstances, the Company has estimated a disposal cost of approximately $269,200 at June 30, 2013.  This amount has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and reflects a decrease of approximately $63,400 compared to December 31, 2012.  This amount has been recorded as environmental remediation income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.


The Company’s registration with the TCEQ requires the Company to provide financial assurance (approximately $170,000 at June 30, 2012) for remediation in the event the Company liquidates and the facility closes.   The Company currently has $170,000 on deposit with the TCEQ, Consisting of $20,000 in cash provided by the company, and $150,000 in cash provided by Mr. Ruddy, The Company has no other asset retirement obligations. 


6. Subsequent Events

Management evaluated all activities of the Company through the issuance date of the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require adjustments or disclosures into the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to help stockholders and other readers understand the dynamics of the Company’s business and the key factors underlying its financial results. It explains trends in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2013, compared with the operating results for the period ended June 30 2012.

 

Business Overview and Presentation

 

Our financial results were impacted by several significant trends, which are listed below.  We expect that these trends will continue to affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.


·

Inability to attract adequate debt or equity funding to implement our business plan

·

Delay in successfully demonstrating our Thermal Gasifier technology

·

Ongoing operating losses

 

Description of Business

  

The Company is in the business of developing, commercializing and operating renewable energy and waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies and projects.

  

The Company is currently conducting its business in the following areas:

  

  

Tire processing operation in Hutchins, Texas, and

  

  

Renewable energy and WTE projects utilizing the Companys Thermal Gasifier technology and corporate administration at the Company’s offices in Commerce City, Colorado.

Discrete financial information is not presently maintained for our WTE business as it has not yet generated any revenues.  In addition, management makes investing and resource allocation decisions based on the combined results of both the processing and WTE business.  Accordingly, we only have one reportable segment.


Our mission is to provide a clean, dependable, cost-competitive alternative energy to fossil fuels.  We plan to develop projects with government, community, industry and financial partners to recover the available carbon based energy from materials previously considered waste and destined for disposal.  The recovery of energy from waste using our Thermal Gasifier is expected to divert large volumes of material from landfills and other disposal sites, while providing clean alternative energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  In addition to processing waste into clean energy, our technology has the capability to convert biomass into energy using various plant based materials.   


Environmental Liability


Our tire processing operations are subject to regulation by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). We are registered with the TCEQ, which allows us to receive, store, transport and process waste tires.  Our registration was renewed on April 23, 2010 and our permit was granted through April 25, 2015.

 


At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 10,100 tons of whole tires, partially shredded tires, tire chips and process waste stored onsite at the tire processing and storage facility. Through January 2011, we were able to dispose of this material at a municipal landfill site with minimal disposal



Page 15 of 27



  


and transportation costs. In February, 2011, the landfill transitioned to a project based system where tire shreds are requested as needed and the Company is now required to pay transportation and disposal costs in order to reduce its tire shred inventory.  Consequently, the Company has since installed a tire derived fuel (TDF) line to create additional revenue from disposal of the tires and has been selling TDF since February 2012, Based on these circumstances, the Company has estimated a disposal cost of approximately $269,200 at June 30, 2013. 


Going Concern

 

The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph which means that the auditors stated that conditions existed that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.



The Company reported a net loss of approximately $467,300 and net cash provided by operating activities of $154,244 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.4 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $67.5 million at June 30, 2013.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to obtain equity investment or additional financing to meet obligations on a timely basis and ultimately achieve profitable operations.


Management’s Plan

  

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $45,598 ($1,610 in cash and balance as non-cash transaction) from a related party, as well as proceeds from a shareholder loan totaling approximately $15,000 ($9,661 in cash and balance as non-cash transaction)  to help with working capital.  We expect that the Company will continue to rely on loans, including those  from related parties and issuances of shares in private placements to meet its working capital needs for the immediate future.



Page 16 of 27



  




Management plans to focus the Companys resources in four key areas:

 

Thermal Gasifier engineering design and deployment

 

Maximizing value from the Hutchins, Texas tire processing and storage facility, including the operation of a tire derived fuel (TDF) production facility.

 

Development of project based opportunities, and

 

Attracting strategic investment

 

TDF Production


Management considers the Thermal Gasifier and waste-to-energy segment to be our core business. However, significant focus is also being placed on the improvement of the tire processing operation at our Hutchins, TX facility to increase production and reduce operating costs, and expand sales to include TDF to increase revenue and cash flow.  In February 2012, the Company began operation of the shredding equipment for its TDF production line.  Management expects positive cash flow from production in the fourth quarter of 2013.  

 

Thermal Gasifier technology


We continue to develop our internal resources and implement business development activities to secure waste-to-energy and biomass-to-energy facility opportunities that will utilize our Thermal Gasifier technology through build-own-operate agreements or through joint-venture relationships with strategic partners. We are looking to partner with companies that produce large hydrocarbon-based waste streams and are also in need of thermal and/or electrical energy. We are targeting opportunities where there are high disposal fees and energy rates, where we can use the Thermal Gasifier with back end power systems to provide significant cost savings to the end user.  We are reviewing the economic viability of a number of opportunities in the northeastern United States and in Colorado and are currently working towards obtaining letters of intent from these entities. Currently, the company has a pilot Waste-To-Energy project under construction in the northeastern US, but does not have any Thermal Gasifiers in operation.



Summary


Management believes that current revenue levels will not be sufficient to meet our operational needs and execute the Company’s complete business plan. The Company is seeking additional funding for the activities described above, and has a letter of interest from a European investment group for an investment of up to $6 million into the company, but has not completed this funding as of yet


Future funding may be through an equity investment, debt or convertible debt. Current market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to secure additional funds, as well as its ability to reach full profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or obtain favorable terms on such financing if it is available.  Continued negative cash flow and lack of liquidity create significant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to fully implement its operating plan, and may result in the Company reducing the scope of its planned operations, scale back or discontinue its technology and project development programs, or obtain funds, if available, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or products or to discontinue its operations entirely

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

  

Revenue

  

Revenue, which consists primarily of tipping fees received for acceptance of whole passenger and truck tires and revenue from sales of TDF (tire derived fuel) rose 43%, or approximately $70,300 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The majority of the increase is due to the recognition of gasification revenue for the first time in over five years.  The Company’s customer list for its tire operations in 2013 is consistent with its customer list in 2012.

  

Our two largest customers comprised approximately 37% and 11% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 38% and 19% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012


Cost of Revenue

  

Cost of revenue for our tire processing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was  roughly in line with the year ago period. Management expects the cost of revenue to remain roughly constant at this higher level due to continued operation of the TDF production line


Environmental remediation expense


Our tire operations in Texas are subject to regulation by the TCEQ.  At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 10,100 tons of whole tires, partially shredded tires, tire chips and process waste stored onsite at the tire processing and storage facility. Through January 2011, we had been able to dispose of this material at a municipal landfill site with minimal disposal and transportation costs. In February 2011, the landfill transitioned to a project based system where tire shreds were requested as needed and the Company was required to pay transportation and disposal costs in order to reduce its tire shred inventory.  Consequently, the company installed a tire derived fuel(TDF) production line, starting production in February 2012 to allow the company to generate revenue from the offtake of material from the site  Based on these new circumstances, the Company has estimated a disposal cost of approximately $269,200 at June 30, 2013, resulting in income of $22,100 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to income of  approximately $12,700 in the comparable prior period.  Management believes that the cost of disposal will decrease as the tire inventory is reduced over future periods due to TDF production exceeding incoming tonnage.


  

 The Company’s registration with the TCEQ requires the Company to provide financial assurance in the form of letters of credit (approximately $170,000 at June 30, 2013) for remediation in the event the Company liquidates and the facility closes.  The amount of assurance that would be required (computed utilizing TCEQ regulations) is approximately $158,700 as of June 30, 2013.  Accordingly, our assurance covers our liabilities according to the TCEQ regulations.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

  

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased approximately $233,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the year ago period.  The increase was due primarily to a $265,000 expense for consulting services related to the company’s listing in Europe and project development in the region.  Excluding this charge, selling, general and administrative costs actually decreased substantially due to continued overhead reduction measures.    Management anticipates that these expenses will continue to be minimized until liquidity is sufficient to allow us to begin expanding the business.


Interest Expense

  

Interest expense decreased approximately $11,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus the year ago period, due to a note conversion in the first quarter of 2013, and reduced interest paid toward equipment financing agreements.


Gain on Settlement of Liability


The company recorded a gain of approximately $44,200 in the period ended June 30, 2013, due to a number of  negotiated settlements with existing creditors.  There was no comparable event in the corresponding period of 2012.


Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

  

Revenue

  

Revenue, which consists of tipping fees received for acceptance of whole passenger and truck tires, revenue from the sale of tire derived fuel (TDF), and gasification project revenue, increased by 33%, or approximately $105,800 during the six months ended June 30, 2013  as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was mainly due to an increase in TDF shipments, and the recognition of gasification revenue. Tipping fee revenue remained roughly constant year over year.

  


Our two largest customers comprised approximately 35% and 17% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Our two largest customers comprised approximately 29% and 17% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012.


Cost of Revenue

  

Cost of revenue for our tire processing operations remained roughly constant year over year.  Management expects the cost of revenue to remain roughly constant at this higher level due to continued operation of the TDF production line


Environmental remediation expense


Our tire operations in Texas are subject to regulation by the TCEQ.  At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 10,100 tons of whole tires, partially shredded tires, tire chips and process waste stored onsite at the tire processing and storage facility. Through January 2011, we had been able to dispose of this material at a municipal landfill site with minimal disposal and transportation costs. In February, 2011, the landfill transitioned to a project based system where tire shreds were requested as needed and the Company was now required to pay transportation and disposal costs in order to reduce its tire shred inventory.   Consequently, the company installed a tire derived fuel(TDF) production line, starting production in February 2012 to allow the company to generate revenue from the offtake of material from the site    Based on these new circumstances, the Company has estimated a disposal cost of approximately $269,200 at June 30, 2013, resulting in income of $63,400 for the most recent six month period, as compared to income of approximately $33,600  in the comparable prior period. Management believes that the cost of disposal will decrease as tire inventory is reduced over future periods due to TDF production.

  

The Company’s registration with the TCEQ requires the Company to provide financial assurance in the form of letters of credit (approximately $170,000 at June 30, 2013) for remediation in the event the Company liquidates and the facility closes.  The amount of assurance that would be required (computed utilizing TCEQ regulations) is approximately $158,700 as of June 30, 2013.  Accordingly, our assurance is adequate according to the TCEQ site remediation calculation formula.


Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

  

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased approximately $209,200 in the six months ended June 30, 2013. 



Page 20 of 27



  


This was due to a $265,000 expense for consulting services related to the Company’s listing in Europe and its project development efforts there.  Excluding this charge, selling general and administrative costs actually decreased by $56,000, due to reduction in overhead costs at the corporate level.   Management anticipates that these expenses will continue to be minimized until liquidity is sufficient to allow the company to begin expanding the business.


Interest Expense

  

Interest expense decreased approximately $23,500  in the period ended June 30, 2013 due to a note conversion in the first quarter of 2013, and reduced interest payments on financed equipment at the Hutchins tire facility.



Loss on Settlement of Liability 


During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the company recorded a loss of approximately $129,000.  A loss of $173,305 resulting from a difference in share price between the time of the execution of an interest conversion agreement and the approval of that agreement by the board of directors, was partially offset by gains arising from negotiated settlement with a number of the company’s creditors. There were no comparable events in 2012.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company had a cash balance of approximately $154,000 as of June 30, 2013.  Our cash balance increased approximately $138,000 as compared to December 31, 2012 due primarily to funds received as advance payment for the company’s waste to energy pilot project.  These advance payment funds are recorded as deferred revenue until recognized according to the policies described in the notes to the financial statements


We expect that our current cash on hand and expected revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our current operations and fully execute our business plan.  The Company is exploring all available funding sources, including the sale of its assets, and additional debt and equity funding, and has secured a letter of interest from an investor who is looking to invest up to $6 million into the company.  The financing has not been completed as of the date of this filing. In the near future we are relying on funding from principal shareholders and related parties to provide cash to fund operations in the foreseeable future as described in more detail under the heading “Management’s Plans” above.  If we are unable to obtain additional funding or increase revenues, we may be required to scale back or suspend operations or revise our business plan.


As of June 30, 2013, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.4 million, which includes notes payable to a stockholder of approximately $1.108 million (notes currently in default), notes payable to related parties of approximately $796,000, a liability of approximately $269,200 for waste tire shred removal and cleanup costs at the tire processing and storage facility, and an unpaid payroll liability to former officers of the Company of approximately $482,000.

 

As of June 30, 2013, we owed approximately $8,800 to the Internal Revenue Service in delinquent payroll taxes and penalties.  Monthly payments of either $5,000(through December 2012) or $2,500(January 2013-present) have been made to the Internal Revenue Service since December 28, 2010.  

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $45,598 ($1,610 in cash and balance as non-cash transaction) from a related party, as well as proceeds from a shareholder loan totaling approximately $15,000 ($9,661 in cash and balance as non-cash transaction) to help with working capital.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

None.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



Page 21 of 27



  


 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of June 30, 2013, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Interim Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2013. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of certain “material weaknesses” described in the “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, we had not completed the remediation of these material weaknesses.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013  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.

 

The Company was named in a suit in the Colorado District Court for the 18th District (Arapahoe County) by a former employee alleging that the Company did not meet its obligation to issue shares to the employee.  On July 12, 2011 the Court granted a motion to enforce a settlement dated September 16, 2010. In accordance with the terms of a court order, the Company was obligated to make payments totaling approximately $104,700, including 6% interest, to a former employee.  An initial payment of $15,455 was made in July 2011 and monthly payments of $3,000, including interest were due through December 2013.  During the second quarter of 2013, the company renegotiated the settlement to allow for a single lump sum payment of $26,500 as a final payment to settle the matter.  


 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company has an obligation to issue approximately 10,000 shares of its restricted common stock to an investor.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect an accrual of approximately $5,000 for these unissued shares as of

June 30, 2013.


The above sales were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  We did not use any underwriter or placement agent in these transactions and did not pay anyone commission or other compensation in connection with these issuances.  These issuances were made directly by us to persons with whom our management had direct contact and a pre-existing relationship.



Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
