NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

 (A) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

 

It is management's opinion, however that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

 

Next Fuel, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 14, 2007.  Next Fuel, Inc. is a service-based firm that has developed and will continue to develop and commercialize innovative technologies, such as water treatment technologies as well as our unconventional natural gas production from lower grade coal, lignite, oil shale and other carbonaceous deposits inside the U.S.

 

We are also investigating opportunities to develop or acquire other advanced technologies with focus on clean renewable energy, such as novel systems for energy-related water treatment, and processes for carbon dioxide conversion and carbon loop closure, and biological fuel cells.  Collaborations with leading research institutes, such as University of Colorado and the University of Wyoming will allow the Company to focus on identifying and acquiring or developing a portfolio of growth opportunities with compelling market values and clean energy and environmental stewardship.

 

We are a technology provider and service company that assist owners of natural gas & oil production resources to increase the efficiency of their operations.  We do not plan to own or develop natural gas or oil production projects.

 

The Company continues to develop and market the new technologies discussed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014

(UNAUDITED)

 

(B) Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred recurring net losses from operations and recognized minimal revenues since inception. The Company has a net loss of $2,739,576, and net cash used in operations of $905,035 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, the Company had $16,719 in cash and $875,220 in liabilities. As of August 12, 2014, our cash balance was approximately $4,400. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Due to the nature of current operations, and new license agreements and business activities (as described throughout the quarterly and annual reports and financial statements), the Company will require substantial funding to implement its new business operations, and it will need more financing than was previously required. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability to obtain additional operating capital through equity or debt financing, and attain profitability. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain the required financing or achieve profitability. 

 

(C) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period, as well as assumptions used in our multiple element revenue arrangements. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, valuation of equity based compensation and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents. 

 

(E) Loss Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

NEXT FUEL, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014

(UNAUDITED)

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and stock equivalents.  To the extent stock options, stock equivalents and warrants are anti-dilutive; they are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, 250,000 and 0 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants were not included in the computation of loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, 1,046,666 and 2,540,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options were not included in the computation of loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive. 

 

(F) Equipment

 

The Company records property and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life. The Company uses a five-year life for furniture and equipment and expects a five-year useful life for the Integra Disk Filtration Units described below.

 

On October 30, 2013, the Company made an initial deposit of $100,000 in connection with a non-binding letter of intent for the purchase of Integra Disk Filtration Units and Technology. This system and technology will allow for the removal of solids from waste water streams and has applications across a multitude of industries. On April 29, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the Integra Disk Filtration Units and Technology and has capitalized the deposit of $100,000 together with the remaining purchase price of $800,000 for a total cost of $900,000, of which $600,000 has been allocated to the physical assets and $300,000 to the intangible assets. 

 

(G) Intangible Assets

 

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a finite life over their life and reviews goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Any other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization (See Notes 1(F) and 2(B)).

 

(H) Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognizes the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to persons other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments. In general, the measurement date for shares issued to non-employees is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant.

(I) Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates as of the date of enactment.

 

The Company has no significant uncertain tax positions as of any date in the nine months ended June 30, 2014 or the year ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense, and to recognize tax penalties in operating expense. The Company made no provision for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2014. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. There are currently no federal or state income tax examinations underway, including all open tax years (2010 – 2013) for these jurisdictions.

 

(J) Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

The Company's revenue transactions include the following: additives, consulting services, royalties, and intellectual property licensing.  The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The timing and the amount of revenue recognized from the licensing of intellectual property depend upon a variety of factors, including the specific terms of each agreement and the nature of the deliverables and obligations.  For the sale of multiple-element arrangements, including whereby additives, consulting or intellectual property is combined in a revenue generating transaction with other elements, the Company allocates to, and recognizes revenue from, the various elements based on their relative selling price. The Company allocates to, and recognizes revenue from, the various elements of multiple-element arrangements based on relative selling price of a deliverable, using: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, and best estimated selling price in accordance with the selling price hierarchy.

(K) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for prepaid expenses and accounts payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

 

(L) Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Although all of the Company’s assets are in the United States of America, substantially all of the revenue for the year ended September 30, 2013 was from one related party licensee in the People’s Republic of China and two unrelated parties in Indonesia and India.

 

(M) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. In June, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10. The amendments in this ASU remove all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is adopting the amendments prescribed by this ASU beginning with this reporting period. The Company has determined that early adoption of this ASU does not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May, 2014, the FASB and IFRS jointly issued ASU No. 2014-09. The amendments in this ASU provide substantial enhancements to the quality and consistency of how revenue is reported. The new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. For public entities, the ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

(N) Discontinued Operations

 

In February, 2014, the Company sold its CTG Technology to a related party and discontinued its operations outside the United States with respect to that technology. The technology was previously expensed as research and development and, therefore, there are no assets associated with the discontinued operations.

NOTE 2 EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLES AND OTHER ASSETS

 

(A) Equipment

 

At June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, equipment is as follows:

 

     June 30, 2014   September 30, 2013 
             
  Computer Equipment  $15,755   $15,755 
  Furniture & Equipment   15,153    15,153 
  Integra Disk Filtration Units   600,000    - 
  Website Costs   1,500    1,500 
  Less accumulated depreciation and amortization   (17,236)   (13,006)
             
     $915,172   $19,402 

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $4,230 and $4,522 respectively.

 

(B) Intangibles

 

On April 29, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase existing patents and trademarks related to the Integra Disk Filtration System previously described. The acquisition of the patents and trademarks will allow the Company to produce additional units should the future need arise. The patents and trademarks have been valued at $300,000 and have been capitalized as intangible assets.

 

On April 20, 2012, Next Fuel acquired the rights to certain intellectual property, as further described below. These rights were acquired with cash. The intellectual property rights that were acquired were in the form of rights to new technologies and assignment of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61624313 entitled “Transition Metals Enhancement of Biogenic Natural Gas Production”, filed on April 15, 2012. Due to early stage and requirement for further development of these technologies, the fact that Next Fuel was a development stage company at the time of acquisition, and the significant uncertainty of recoverability in the future; the Company has expensed the costs of these transactions to research and development at the time of the acquisitions. The CTG Technology in China was sold in February 2014 to a company owned by a shareholder/director of the Company in exchange for the return of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. (See Note 3(E)) The Company retained the rights to the CTG Technology for the United States.

 

On February 12, 2012 and March 28, 2011, Next Fuel acquired the rights to certain intellectual property, as further described below. These rights were acquired through the issuance of stock options and minimal cash consideration in February 2012 and the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock and stock warrants in March 2011. The intellectual property rights that were acquired were in the form of the rights to new technologies. Provisional patent applications were filed for each. Due to early stage and requirement for further development of these technologies, the fact that Next Fuel was a development stage company at the time of acquisition, and the significant uncertainty of recoverability in the future; the Company has expensed the costs of these transactions to research and development at the time of the acquisitions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014

(UNAUDITED)

 

Although the company has expensed these technologies, the company believes that this intellectual property and associated patent applications were instrumental in the company’s ability to raise $1,525,000 in April 2012. The company believes there is a large market for new green technology associated with clean coal initiatives and the acquired technology will position the company to take advantage and participate in this market if this market grows and we develop this technology.

 

In February 2012, Next Fuel acquired the rights to two new technologies from individual inventors (LPV Technology and CTG Technology described below).  Both technologies are early stage and will require further development before we understand their full commercial potential. Provisional U. S. patent applications were filed for each. In February 2014, as described below, the Company sold its CTG Technology.

 

Coal-to-Gas (CTG) Technology

Coal-to-Gas Technology assists owners of natural gas and oil production resources to increase the efficiency of their operations. In February, 2014, the Company sold its Coal-to-Gas technology to Star Holding (U.K.) Ltd., which is controlled by Mr. Guangwei Guo, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company who also controls the Company’s China licensee. The primary terms of the sale were that Mr. Guo transferred 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company back to the Company and terminated the Company’s obligation to maintain a registration statement for resale of the remaining 1,851,666 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Mr. Guo and his business associates. Due to the related party nature of this transaction no gain was recorded related to the sale, and the transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. Although the Company retains a license in the United States, the Company lacks financial resources to begin any United States Coal-to-Gas projects and is not currently in negotiations with any prospective partners or sub-licensees.

 

Low Energy-input Pervaporation (LPV) Technology

The Company expects to launch its LPV water treatment technology after completing tests later this calendar year. This LPV technology will provide the oil and gas industry with a new cost-effective method for treating waste water that contains the most challenging, high-salt and total dissolved solids used or produced in U.S. oil & gas operations to help the industry deal with environmental restrictions on operations.

Although the company has expensed the costs of these technologies, it is the company’s belief that this intellectual property and associated patent applications may provide growth opportunities for the company in the highly competitive markets associated with oil & gas produced water and carbon dioxide sequestration. Given the early stage of the two technologies acquired, the company believes they will not make significant contributions to the company's business for several years.

 

(C) Other Current Assets

 

On November 6, 2012, the Company purchased a two-year Certificate of Deposit in the amount of $75,000 to be held as security for the issuance of Company credit cards. The Certificate of Deposit bears a current interest rate of .35% and a maturity date of November 6, 2014. Interest earned and accumulated for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $188. As of June 30, 2014, the balance owed on the Company credit cards secured by the Certificate of Deposit was $19,822.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The information contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this discussion. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.   Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those set forth in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this report and elsewhere in this report.

  

Our History

 

We, Next Fuel, Inc. (NXFI), were organized in the State of Nevada in August 2007 under the name Clinical Trials of the Americas, Inc. Our stock began trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") on June 11, 2008 under the trading symbol "CLLL". We were not successful in raising sufficient capital to support a clinical trials business. On May 21, 2009, we changed our name to Next Fuel, Inc.

 

On March 31, 2011, we purchased certain technology and intellectual property, which we used as the first step toward building a business that provides a range of technology and services to the oil and gas industry.  More importantly, with the addition of our Low Energy Input Pervaporation (“LPV”) and other water treatment technologies, we believe we are on the right path to build a business targeting the multi-billion dollar water treatment industry.

 

Our principal office and mailing address is located at 821 Frank Street, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801 and our telephone number is (307) 674-2145.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We are a technology provider and service company with a current focus on technology and products that have immediate and future promise in the water treatment industry.  We are continuing development of our LPV technology and are evaluating several other water treatment technologies that we may have the opportunity to license or purchase to give the company a wide range of water treatment options.

 

24
 

 

Our technology and services are all in various stages of development or are being investigated by us as targets for acquisition.  None has generated substantial revenue for us to date and we face substantial challenges in completing development or acquisition of these technologies and services businesses.  These technology and services include:

 

  Certain technology and intellectual property useful in extracting natural gas from coal (the "Coal-to-Gas Technology" or "CTG Technology").  The Company sold this Technology to a related party in February 21, 2014, and retained certain U.S. rights.
  Low Energy Input Pervaporation (LPV) Technology to clean up water used in oil and natural gas production, including Frac drilling.  This technology is still in development stage, but has shown promise as a commercial venture in the near future.
  Carbon Dioxide to Product (CTP) Technology we acquired targets the emerging market of carbon footprint elimination.  We currently are not working on this technology, but believe it could have commercial viability at a later stage.
  Disk filtration technology to remove suspended solids in the range of 200 microns to as small as 5 microns in size.  We are currently testing this technology.  Initial testing has been very positive and we expect to complete testing of the technology in several different industrial applications this calendar year.

 

During the period from inception to the period ended March 31, 2011 we did not conduct an active business and devoted our efforts to capital raising activities and acquisition activity, including the capital raising and Coal-to Gas Technology described elsewhere in this report. Most of the expense we incurred during this period related to acquisition activities. From March 31, 2011 through February 21, 2014 we focused our operations on the businesses related to agreements with natural gas developers in China, Inner Mongolia, Indonesia and India, but as stated above, the Company has sold this technology.

 

During the calendar year of 2014, we expect to complete development and commercial launch of our LPV technology for cleaning waste water from oil and gas drilling operations.  Bench scale tests have been completed in the lab and testing of a larger scale prototype began recently. Efforts to build a field scale unit have been delayed by engineering issues related to using larger membranes.  The University of Wyoming, our research partner, is working on these engineering issues.  We expect that these technical difficulties will be mitigated this year and we will continue in our efforts to further develop this technology.  After we obtain the results generated from the larger test, we will commence negotiating with a potential licensee that would have the capability to bring this technology to a commercial level.

 

Raising capital to implement our planned development and acquisition of new products and services will be a primary focus for us during 2014.

  

Results of Operations

 

Three Months and Nine Months ended June 30, 2014

 

For the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2014, we had no revenue from continuing operations.

 

Operating expenses from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $2,429,947 and $3,543,160, respectively. During the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2014, we had $88 and $455, respectively, of net interest income.

 

We had a loss from continuing operations of $2,429,859 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $3,542,705 during the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

 

We had no gain or loss from discontinued operations during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and a loss from discontinued operations of $146,871 during the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

 

This resulted in a net loss of $2,429,859 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and a net loss of $3,689,576 during the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Operating expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 included $89,448 for salary expense, $2,277,736 for professional fees and $61,966 for general and administrative expenses.  Operating expenses from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 included $444,481 for salary expense, $2,514,952 for professional fees and $582,164 for general and administrative expenses. Most of the professional fees and expenses were for financial reporting compliance and the fair value of stock issued as compensation for consulting services.  Travel to our field test sites also constituted a substantial expense.

Three Months and Nine Months ended June 30, 2013

 

For the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2013, we had no revenue from continuing operations.

 

Operating expenses from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $331,737 and $1,456,004, respectively. During the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2013, net interest income totaled $666 and $2,686, respectively.

 

We had a loss from continuing operations of $331,071 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $1,453,318 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

 

We had a loss from discontinued operations of $234,848 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $674,367 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

 

This resulted in a net loss of $565,919 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and a net loss of $2,127,685 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Operating expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included $179,845 for salary expense, $46,573 for professional fees and $103,944 for general and administrative expenses.  Operating expenses from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 included $656,583 for salary expense, $363,201 for professional fees and $433,048 for general and administrative expenses. Most of the professional fees and expenses were for financial reporting compliance.  Travel to our field test sites also constituted a substantial expense.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

As of June 30, 2014, we had $16,719 in cash and $875,220 of liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been sufficient to cover expenses involved in starting our business. However, because of the business activities described elsewhere in this report we will require substantially more funds to implement our new business during the next twelve months than we previously required.

 

We do not have enough cash to satisfy our expected minimum cash requirements to operate our business for the next twelve months and will be required to generate revenue through the sale of stock or debt financing. We also expect our operating expenses to increase before our revenues increase. Therefore, we will continue to depend on sales of capital stock or debt financing until we generate sufficient revenue.

 

Cash flows for Nine Months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $905,035 compared to $1,496,053 used in the nine months ended June 30, 2013. Net cash flow used in investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $100,188 compared to $77,176 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. We had no financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $55,500. The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from royalty agreements as the royalties are earned. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of additives at the time the products are delivered. The price is fixed and collection is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue under service agreements when the services are complete and the Company has no remaining obligations under the agreements.

 

Our revenue model for license agreements may include different types of payments: (1) upfront license fees; (2) royalties calculated as a percentage of the sale price of the gas our licensee produces, (3) payments for technical support or other services; and (4) payments for amendments we supply to licensees. Each license provides for one or more of these types of payments. Not every license we enter into is expected to include all these forms of payments.

 

We will recognize each type of revenue as follows:

 

(1) Upfront license fees – These payments will be recognized in accordance with the License Agreement and may be deferred over the term of the agreement or the period of the estimated benefit to the customer.

 

(2) Royalties calculated as a percentage of the sale price of the gas our licensee produces - These payments will be recognized in accordance with the License Agreement and should be recognized when paid as the payment will come after the sale of produced gas.

 

(3) Payments for technical support or other services - These payments will be recognized in accordance with the License Agreement and could be deferred until all work is complete.

 

(4) Payments for amendments we supply to licensees - These payments will be recognized in accordance with the License Agreement and should be recognized when we deliver the nutrients.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflected the potential dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and stock equivalents. To the extent stock options, stock equivalents and warrants are anti-dilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, 250,000 and 0 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants were not included in the computation of loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, 1,046,666 and 2,540,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options were not included in the computation of loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

 

27
 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognizes the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.

 

Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to persons other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments. In general, the measurement date for shares issued to non-employees is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the ASC 505.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. In June, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10. The amendments in this ASU remove all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is adopting the amendments prescribed by this ASU beginning with this reporting period. The Company has determined that early adoption of this ASU does not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May, 2014, the FASB and IFRS jointly issued ASU No. 2014-09. The amendments in this ASU provide substantial enhancements to the quality and consistency of how revenue is reported. The new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. For public entities, the ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. At the conclusion of the period ended June 30, 2014 we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of 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) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that our controls to ensure that the accounting department has adequate training and experience for public company external reporting was not adequate. On April 23, 2013, the Company formed an Audit Committee to oversee the financial reporting process, but the Audit Committee does not have a charter and not all members meet regulatory standards for independence and financial expert experience. Accordingly, based on these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, June 30, 2014, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules.

 

The Company's management is addressing these weaknesses by starting the process of seeking to recruit independent Directors so that the Company's Audit Committee meets regulatory requirements for independence and financial expert experience. The Company also started the process of retaining additional staff to assist its internal staff with compliance issues. However, budgetary constraints make it unlikely that we will increase our internal staff until after we raise additional capital.

 

28
 

  

 (b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this report, we did not make any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

 

We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. See Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on December 23, 2013 and of this Report for a description of issues that we have identified as having the highest risks for our becoming involved in litigation or regulatory proceedings.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The description of our business and finances and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those described below and in prior reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

You should carefully consider the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2013, together with all of the other information included in this report, before investing in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below encompass many of the risks that could affect our business and the value of our stock. Not all risks and uncertainties are described. Risks that we do not know about could occur and issues we now view as minor could become more important. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

We refer you to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2013 for detailed discussion of the primary risks associated with our business and our securities.  We believe these risks have not materially changed since we filed our Form 10-K on December 23, 2013, except that, as discussed elsewhere in this report: 1) we have sold our Coal to Gas (CTG) technology; and 2) there can be no assurance that the company will be able to complete the purchase of the Integra Disk Filtration Equipment and IP. Until the purchase is finalized, the company will not have title to any equipment associated with the Integra Disk Filtration.

 

These developments may adversely impact our ability to enter into other license agreements, to generate revenue and raise capital at acceptable valuations, all of which increase the risks to our shareholders.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

We believe that some of the information in this report constitutes forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in this report, particularly in “Risk Factors.” You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “might,” “expect,” "plan," “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intends,” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they:

 

  discuss future expectations;
  contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or
  state other “forward-looking” information.

 

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our stockholders. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors and cautionary language discussed in this report provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by us in our in our forward-looking statements.

 

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.

 

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us, or any person acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, we undertake no obligations to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

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

 

On April 1, 2014, the Company issued 150,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, having a fair value of $202,500 ($1.35 per share) on the grant date, for compensation of directors.

On June 20, 2014, the Company issued 1,475,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, having a fair value of $1,967,750 ($1.35 per share) on the grant date, for consulting services.

The above shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, manner of the issuance and number of shares issued. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.
