MagneGas
Corporation
(A
Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes
to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Three
and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and
for
the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through June 30,
2009
1. Background
Information
MagneGas
Corporation (the “Company”), formerly 4307, Inc., was organized in the state of
Delaware on December 9, 2005.
On April
2, 2007 (the "Effective Date"), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase
Agreement, Clean Energies Tech Co. purchased a total of 100,000 shares (100%) of
the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company from the sole officer,
director and shareholder of the Company, for an aggregate of $30,000 in cash and
the assumption of liabilities ($2,500). The total of 100,000 shares represented
all of the shares of outstanding common stock of the Company at the time of
transfer.
Prior to
the above transaction, Clean Energies Tech Co and the Company were essentially
shell companies that were unrelated, with no assets, minimal liabilities, and no
operations. As a result, the 100% change in control was recorded as a
private equity transaction, and no goodwill was recorded, as no assets were
acquired and minimal liabilities were assumed. On May 12, 2007,
subsequent to the date of purchase, 67,052,000 shares of common stock were
issued to founding members of the organization. As the company determined
that the shares had no value, stock and additional paid in capital were
increased and decreased, respectively, by the par value of the stock
issued.
Since the
acquisition, the Company has adopted the operating plan and mission which is to
provide services in cleaning and converting contaminated waste. A process has
been developed which transforms contaminated waste through a proprietary
incandescent machine. The result of the product is to carbonize waste for normal
disposal. A by-product of this process will produce an alternative MagneGas
source.
2. Development
Stage Enterprise
The
Company has been in the development stage since its formation on December 9,
2005. It has primarily engaged in raising capital to carry out its
business plan, as described above. The Company expects to continue to incur
significant operating losses and to generate negative cash flow from operating
activities while it develops its customer base and establishes itself in the
marketplace. The Company's ability to eliminate operating losses and
to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend upon a
variety of factors, many of which it is unable to control. If the
Company is unable to implement its business plan successfully, it may not be
able to eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow, or achieve or
sustain profitability, which would materially adversely affect its business,
operations, and financial results, as well as its ability to make payments on
any obligations it may incur.
3. Going
Concern
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.
The
Company incurred a net loss of $261,783, $66,969, $422,155, $290,554 and
$1,822,052 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and for the period
December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through the period ended June 30, 2009,
respectively. As of June 30, 2009 the Company had $45,948 of cash
with which to satisfy any future cash requirements. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company depends upon capital to be derived from future financing activities
such as subsequent offerings of its common stock , debt financing or grant
funding in order to operate and grow the business. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such
capital. The key factors that are not within the Company's control
and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not
limited to, acceptance of the Company's business plan, the ability to raise
capital in the future, the ability to expand its customer base, and the ability
to hire key employees to build and manufacture such proprietary machines to
provide services. There may be other risks and circumstances that
management may be unable to predict.
The
unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
4. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
The
significant accounting policies followed are:
6
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and the period
December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through June 30, 2009; (b) the financial
position at June 30, 2009, and (c) cash flows for the six month period ended
June 30, 2009, 2008 and the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through
June 30, 2009, have been made.
The
Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America. These principals require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these estimates
are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
The
unaudited financial statement and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying
unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and notes thereto in
the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the period December 9,
2005 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009 is not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the entire year.
FIN No.
46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”) addresses the
consolidation of entities to which the usual condition (ownership of a majority
voting interest) of consolidation does not apply. This interpretation
focuses on controlling financial interests that may be achieved through
arrangements that do not involve voting interest. If an enterprise
holds a majority of the variable interests of an entity, it would be considered
the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is generally
required to consolidate assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at
fair value (or at historical cost if the entity is a related party) and
subsequently account for the variable interest as if it were consolidated based
on a majority voting interest. The Company has investments in
joint ventures that are in development of the MagneGas technology, however the
Company is not identified as a primary beneficiary; therefore no consolidation
is required and the investments are listed at their cost.
The
Company’s balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash,
accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and note payable to
stockholder. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities
approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time
between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. The
carrying values of the note payable to stockholder approximates fair
value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for
instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.
The
majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United
States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance
provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed
on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company considers
all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of six months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts
receivable consist of amounts due for the delivery of MagneGas sales to
customers. Revenue for metal-cutting fuel is recognized when
shipments are made to customers. The Company recognizes a sale when the product
has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the customer. An allowance
for doubtful accounts is considered to be established for any amounts that may
not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s customer
credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management’s
review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered
necessary. Receivables are determined to be past due, based on
payment terms of original invoices. The Company does not typically
charge interest on past due receivables.
Inventories
are stated at the lower of standard cost or market, which approximates actual
cost. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out
method. Inventory is comprised of filled cylinders of MagneGas and
accessories (regulators and tips) available for sale.
Equipment
is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method
over estimated useful lives (five years for equipment). The carrying
amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if
adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized
balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes
that no impairment of equipment existed at December 31,
2008. Currently, the Company has no capitalized
equipment. Production equipment is under a month to month rental
agreement with a related party (see note 7).
During
2008, the Company recorded an intangible license for $727,000 related to the
Company's acquisition of patent rights and certain other intellectual property,
secured from a company related by common management (see Note
10). The Company valued the license based on the value of the stock
issued, as the Company believes that this is the more reliable
7
measurement. The
intellectual property consists primarily of patents and patent applications,
which the Company has estimated has a useful life of fifteen
years. The estimated amortization expense for the intangible license
is expected to be $48,467 annually over each of the next five years and $454,322
in total thereafter.
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
"Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," long-lived assets
such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be
held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the
asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash
flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals,
if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not
recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized
for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the
asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair
value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate
with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. The Company
did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”
(SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options to be recognized as compensation expense in the
financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over
the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange
for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting
period). The Company had no common stock options or common stock equivalents
granted or outstanding for all periods presented
The
Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various
services. For these transactions the Company follows the guidance in
EITF 96-18 "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than
Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or
Services". Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value
of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable (see Note 8). The value
of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm
commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is
reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is
complete. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a
corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for
services. Stock compensation for the three and six months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, were issued to consultants for past services provided,
accordingly, all shares issued are fully vested, and there is no unrecognized
compensation associated with these transactions. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company entered into a consulting agreement
(see note 7) for services to be rendered over a five year period. The
consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service
period.
The
Company includes shipping costs and freight-in costs in cost of goods sold.
Total freight-in included in cost of goods sold expense was $150, $0,
$430, $0 and $430 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and for
the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through June 30, 2009,
respectively..
The costs
of advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $24,397,
$1,385, $34,772, $2,885, and $42,775 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2009, 2008 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through June
30, 2009, respectively. Advertising expenses are included in the
Company’s operating expenses.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs”, the
Company expenses research and development costs when
incurred. Indirect costs related to research and developments are
allocated based on percentage usage to the research and
development.
The
Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes,” which requires use of the liability method. SFAS No. 109 provides that
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for
financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the
currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which
the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or
realized.
The
Company follows SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per
share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss)
per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares. There are no share equivalents and, thus,
anti-dilution issues are not applicable.
5. Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have
reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have
effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We
believe that the following impending standards may have an impact on our future
filings. The applicability
of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and
certain standards are under consideration.
8
Current Adoption of New Accounting
Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”
(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve
financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate
volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal
years, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2008,
the Company did not elect the fair value option for any
instruments.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160; Noncontrolling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements, and amendment of ARB 51, which changes the
accounting and reporting for minority interest. Minority interest
will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interest and will be reported as
component of equity separate from the parent's equity, and purchases or sales of
equity interests that do not result in change in control will be accounted for
as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the
noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the date
of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well
as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss
recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company
beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the
presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply
retrospectively. SFAS 160 had no impact on the Company’s balance
sheet or results of operation.
In March
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161
requires additional disclosures related to the use of derivative instruments,
the accounting for derivatives and the financial statement impact of
derivatives. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not impact
the Company's financial statements.
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following the
SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to
AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company’s adoption of
SFAS 162 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and
financial condition.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No.
60”. This statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a
claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is
evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial
obligation. SFAS No. 163 also clarifies how SFAS No. 60 applies to
financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and
measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities to
increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance
contracts by insurance enterprises. SFAS No. 163 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for some disclosures
about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities of the insurance
enterprise be effective for the first period (including interim periods)
beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those
disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The Company has
assessed the impact of SFAS No. 163 on its financial position and results of
operations and determined it to have no effect on the operations or financial
condition.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”)
No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(“FSP SFAS No. 107-1”). FSP SFAS No. 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments to require fair value of
financial instrument disclosure in interim financial statements and amends APB
No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in all interim
financial statements. The provisions of FSP SFAS No. 107-1 are effective
for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early
adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company did
not elect to early adopt FSP SFAS No. 107-1; the adoption of EITF No. 07-5
did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or
financial condition.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that
should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to
determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). The intent of FSP FAS 142-3
is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible
asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the
fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other applicable accounting
literature. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP
FAS 142-3 has had no impact on its results of operations or financial
condition.
9
In
October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (“FSP 157-3”), to
clarify the application of the provisions of SFAS 157 in an inactive market and
how an entity would determine fair value in an inactive market. FSP 157-3 was
effective upon issuance and applies to the Company’s current financial
statements. The application of the provisions of FSP 157-3 did not affect the
Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume
and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased
and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. Under FSP SFAS No. 157-4,
transactions or quoted prices may not accurately reflect fair value if an
entity determines that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and
level of activity for the asset or the liability in relation to the normal
market activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or
liabilities). In addition, if there is evidence that the transaction for the
asset or liability is not orderly; the entity shall place little, if any
weight on that transaction price as an indicator of fair value. FSP SFAS
No. 157-4 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early
adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 subject to the
early adoption of FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2. The Company did
not have a material impact on its Financial Statements.
In
May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1
“Accounting for Convertible Debt instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon
Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP
APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that
may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for
the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the
instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing
rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. As we do not have convertible
debt, the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 has had no effect on our results of
operations and financial condition
In June
2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted
in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF
03-6-1”), which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment
transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need
to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class
method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is
effective retrospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP EITF
03-6-1 did not materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results
of operations.
In June
2008, the FASB issued EITF No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or
Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock, effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal periods and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2008. EITF No.07-5 provides guidance for determining whether an
equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an
entity’s own stock. The adoption of EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material effect
on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
Future
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 requires an employer to
provide certain disclosures about the assets held by its defined benefit
pension or other postretirement plans. The required disclosures include the
investment policies and strategies of the plans, the fair value of the major
categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to
develop fair value measurements and a description of significant
concentrations of risk in plan assets. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the
adoption of FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 to have a material impact on its Financial
Statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP SFAS No. 115-2”). FSP
SFAS No. 115-2 provides new guidance on the recognition and presentation of
other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) for fixed maturity securities
that are classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity if management
does not intend to sell the impaired security and it is more likely than
not it will not be required to sell the impaired security before the
recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company does not have investments
in fixed maturity securities and, accordingly, expects no impact from adoption
of this pronouncement.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by
management to, have a material impact on our present or future financial
statements.

7. Related
Party Transactions
The
Company entered into an agreement with a company, Hyfuels, Inc., which secures
intellectual property licensing for North, South, Central America and all
Caribbean Islands ("the
Territories"),. Dr. Ruggero Santilli, Chief Executive Officer,
Chairman of the Board and Chief Scientist of MagneGas Corporation, is also the
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientist and President of Hyfuels, Inc so as to
expedite the patent work on behalf of both MagneGas Corporation and Hyfuels,
Inc. It should be noted that Dr. Santilli is not and never has
been a stockholder of Hyfuels, Inc. and is lending his knowledge and expertise
for the mutually beneficial advancement of this technology. This
intellectual property consists of all relevant patents, patent applications,
trademarks and domain names. The agreement became effective February
2008, when the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 per
share. The term of the license agreement is in perpetuity for the
above territories with the exception of (i) bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Company (ii) the filing of the Company of a petition for bankruptcy (iii) the
making by the Company of the assignment of the license for the benefit of
creditors (iv) the appointment of a receiver of the Company or any of its assets
which appointment shall not be vacated within 60 days thereafter (v) the filing
of any other petition for the relief from creditors based upon the alleged
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company which shall not be dismissed within 60
days thereafter. Additionally, the agreement triggered a 5 year consulting
agreement with Dr. Santilli, whose knowledge and expertise of the
technology is essential in the development of the MagneGas product.
The terms of the consulting agreement consist of issuance of common
stock (100,000 shares) and payment of $5,000 per month to Dr. Santilli,
upon the determination by the Board of Directors of MagneGas Corporation of
achieving adequate funding. On December 29, 2008 the company
exercised their purchase option to acquire the intellectual property which
includes all possible inventions, discoveries and intellectual right of the
MagneGas Technology, for 30,000,000 common shares with a market value of
$627,000 at the time of the purchase option.
In 2007
an advance in the amount of $10,000 was made by a company owned by a
shareholder, for initial deposit for services. As of June 30, 2009,
the amount remains as a payable to the affiliate. There are no
repayment terms to this advance and the amount is payable upon
demand.
In
January 2008, the Company received $30,000 from a shareholder in exchange for an
unsecured promissory note to a shareholder. During 2008
additional funds were contributed for the purposes of operating capital, under
the same terms of the original shareholder note. The total of these
notes were $161,100 plus accrued interest. These promissory notes
have no repayment date; however it is payable within 30 days of written
demand. Payment is to include accrued simple interest at
4%.
During
the normal course of operations, business expenses have been paid by the
majority shareholder. These advances are short-term in nature and the
expenses are typically reimbursed within a reasonable period. These
advances are non-interest bearing and have no repayment date. As of
June 30, 2009 the amounts due from advances was $2,187.
Beginning
April 2008 the Company entered into a month-to-month lease, at a monthly rate of
$2,500 per month for facilities to occupy approximately 3,000 square feet of a
6,000 square foot building and the use of certain equipment and utilities, as
needed. The facility allows for expansion needs. The
lease is held by a Company that is effectively controlled by
Dr. Santilli.
The use
of an initial small production refinery has been contributed by
Dr. Ruggero Santilli, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientist, and
Chairman of the Board. The computed fair value of this month to month
rental agreement is $1,870 per month and has been charged to equipment rental
expense in the operating expenses. To reflect the contributed value,
the corresponding entry has been charged to additional paid in capital, and
is included in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Total
contributed value was $5,610 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
and $16,830 for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through June 30,
2009.
The
amounts and terms of the above transactions may not necessarily be indicative of
the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions
been entered into with independent third parties.
11
8. Income
Tax
The
Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating start-up
losses generated since inception based on uncertainties concerning its ability
to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the
periods presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against
deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other temporary
differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than
not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets
will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be
more likely than not. As of December 31, 2008, the Company incurred
start-up losses of approximately $90,600. These losses are
capitalized as start-up costs for tax purposes, to be amortized when the Company
commences business operations.
9. Equity
The
company has two classifications of stock:
Preferred
Stock includes 10,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of
$0.001. Preferred Stock has been issued as Series A Preferred
Stock. Preferred Stock has liquidation and dividend rights over
Common Stock, which is not in excess of its par value. The preferred
stock has no conversion rights or mandatory redemption features. Each
share of Preferred Stock is entitled to 100,000 votes.
Common
Stock includes 900,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of
$0.001. The holders of Common Stock and the equivalent Preferred
Stock, voting together, shall appoint the members of the Board of the
Directors. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one
vote.
During
the six month period ended June 30, 2009, the company issued 2,065,500 common
shares to various consultants. During the three month period
ending June 30, 2009, the Company sold 835,263 common shares at the prevailing
market quotation share price for $99,000 in cash.
During
the six month period ended June 30, 2009 the Company issued 2,900,763 shares of
common stock for $99,000. Included in the subscription agreement for shares
issued were warrants to purchase an additional.854,763 common shares at the fair
market value of the shares at the date of issuance.
Additionally
warrants were issued to a service provider, vesting over a one year period,
exercisable at the fair market price at the date of the
agreement. A total of 340,000 warrants, vesting on the
quarterly periods through February 15, 2010 were valued at $8,432 and will be
recognized ratably over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation
was charged for the recognized portion of the warrants, in the amount of $2,108
for the six month period ended June 30, 2009.

10. Subsequent
Events
The
Company is currently in negotiations with companies to expanded territories in
the development of the MagneGas technologies. As of June 30,
2009, there are agreements in principle, with completion upon transfer of
title.
Jeruz
Magnegas Pvt. Limited:
On March
26, 2009 the Company entered into contract with HyFuels, Inc to permanently
transfer to Magnegas Corporation in its totality and irrevocably the entirety of
the assets owned by HyFuels, Inc in Jeruz Magnegas Pvt.
Limited. Jeruz Magnegas Pvt. Limited is an India based
corporation (located at 8/A, Ground Floor"KARP House", Lal Darwaja, Surat: 395
008, India) that owns all Intellectual Property rights (patents, patent
applications, trademark, domain names and technical know-how) for the Magnegas
Technology for India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka only. The
assets transferred from HyFuels, Inc to Magnegas Corporation are as
follows:
1.
|
12.5%
equity shares of Jeruz Magnegas Pvt, Limited in the existing issued and
paid up capital of Jeruz Magnegas Pvt.
Limited;
|
2.
|
5%
royalties on sales of Magnegas equipment made by Jeruz Magnegas Pvt.
Limited.
|
The
consideration to be paid for the Purchased Assets the Purchaser, MagneGas,
is 1,000,000 (one million) restricted shares of common stock. As
of June 30, 2009, the terms of this agreement were not satisfied and the shares
were not issued, rendering the agreement null and void. It was
determined by the Board of Directors that there were certain liabilities
associated with share ownership of a company domiciled in India and these
liabilities could not be properly assessed to the satisfaction of the
Board. In addition, the royalty terms were not satisfactory,
requiring a royalty on sales after direct expenses, versus a royalty on gross
sales. Negotiation is currently underway to restructure this
agreement without an equity participation due to the inherent risk to Magnegas
Corporation of the share ownership, instead including better royalty
terms. As of August 6, 2009, this negotiation has not been completed
and the Company can make no assessment as to the expected outcome of the
negotiation.
12
Magnegas
Israel LLC
Magnegas
Israel LLC issued Magnegas Corp a minority share interest of 20% of their issued
and outstanding stock. We have no common directors or officers in this company
and are unrelated. Magnegas Israel LLC owns the intellectual property
rights for Magnegas for Israel. Magnegas Israel LLC
has no assets or cash at this time, therefore, no value has been assigned at
this time. The completion of this transaction will be completed
within a reasonable time, at which time the Company will recognize an investment
in the venture.
We
currently have no written agreement with this company and it is intended that
MagneGas, in exchange for the 20% interest, will advise the Israel Company and
additionally provide manufacturing support. Magnegas Israel, LLC is
seeking funding to complete the purchase of a demonstration Magnegas
refinery. As of August 6, 2009, this funding has not been
secured.
Philippine
and Vietnam Market
On July
7, 2009 the Company signed definitive Asset Purchase and Distribution agreements
with American Investments, Inc for the purchase of a $1.2million Magnegas
Refinery and the granting of exclusive distribution rights for the Philippine
and Vietnam markets. In June 2009, MagneGas received $100,000 as down-payment on
the equipment purchase order. The deposit has been recorded as
deferred revenue, since there has been no significant progress in the
manufacturing of the refinery. The signed agreement calls for an
additional $390,000 is due on December 1, 2009, the anticipated commencement of
construction. The balance of $710,000 is due prior to the final delivery of the
refinery.
11. Contingencies
From time
to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims
against the Company. Management believes that there are no current matters
that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results
of operations.

Plan of
Operations
Due to
the current state of the economy and financial markets, it is been difficult for
the Company to achieve its Plan of Operation, primarily due to lack of capital
to finance the Plan. As a result, the Company is extending the Plan
to cover a 24 month period. During the next twenty four months, we
expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of
our business and the implementation of our plan of
operations:
Overall
Plan
Our
overall plan of operation for the next twenty four months is to install several
Plasma Arc Flow Industrial demonstration centers strategically located
throughout the United States. One will be installed in a municipal
sewage treatment facility to process sludge or sewage, one will be built and
used as a refinery for the metal cutting fuel market, one will be developed for
converting solar or wind power to hydrogen and several will be built and used to
produce fuel for the automotive market. These refineries will be used
to promote our core business strategy. During the next twenty four
months, we intend to pursue private equity financing in combination with federal
and state grant funding, for up to $10 million in various phases using our
shares of common stock and through federal and state funds available for
renewable energy as part of the Stimulus program. We will pursue the
acquisition of a metal cutting and welding fuel distribution company to
accelerate our market penetration. In addition, we will conduct
research and development for the catalytic liquefaction of Magnegas, the
industrial membrane separation of hydrogen, the use of Magnegas as an additive
to clean coal exhaust and the installation of a pilot refinery utilizing the
synergies of wind power or solar power to produce fuel with our technology. We
will also pursue all needed federal, state and local regulatory permits
necessary to implement our operational plan.
Third Quarter
2009
We will
continue our efforts in selling MagneGas in the metal cutting
market. We will use established relationships with existing metal
cutting fuel wholesalers to distribute MagneGas for this market. We
will fulfill fuel orders from our Atlanta distributor, and our Tampa distributor
and will pursue agreements with additional metal cutting fuel distributors
throughout the United States. We will aggressively pursue equity
and grant financing to obtain sufficient capital to allow us to purchase a fuel
distributor in our market, construct refineries and conduct research and
development. We intend to actively recruit new board members,
corporate and manufacturing staff with appropriate
experience.
14
We
anticipate the commencement of our manufacturing of our first MagneGas
PlasmaArcFlow for commercial installation, in fulfillment of our Philippines
contract.
Fourth
Quarter 2009
We plan
to begin construction of one PlasmaArcFlow demonstration center to process
sludge or sewage at a local municipality. We will continue to
aggressively pursue MagneGas sales for the metal cutting market through
wholesalers, trade events and from our marketing and sales consultants. We
intend to continue to actively recruit new board members with appropriate
experience and hire a corporate and operational staff. We expect to
complete the first phase of our capital raise and to identify potential
acquisitions in our market. We will conduct additional research and
development as outlined above. We plan to conduct a demonstration at
a local car dealership, turning a car dealer into a fuel producer by using
automotive liquid waste to produce fuel on site.
We expect
the work in process of our Philippines PlasmaArcFlow to be completed and in
quality control testing. Delivery and installation is anticipated for
the fourth quarter 2009 or first quarter 2010.
First
Quarter 2010
We plan
to install our Plasma Arc Flow demonstration center at a local Florida sewage
treatment facility to process human sludge or sewage. We plan to begin
construction of our refinery for the metal working market. We plan to
aggressively pursue MagneGas sales for the metal cutting market through a
marketing plan that fully leverages our demonstration centers and we will hire
additional operational staff and manufacturing staff in anticipation of new
sales and will expand our current facility to accommodate our space
needs. We will continue our research and development
efforts.
Second Quarter
2010
We
anticipate that we can complete construction of our metal cutting fuel refinery
and will begin construction of a third refinery converting solar or wind
power to hydrogen with a location to be determined. By the second
quarter of 2010, we anticipate being fully operational with two refineries
located in the United States and we will begin distribution of fuel through our
Philippine distributor. We plan to continue sales of MagneGas in the
metal cutting market. We will aggressively pursue our marketing and sales
plan to fully leverage our demonstration centers. We expect to obtain
several service contracts during this quarter as potential customers view
firsthand the operation of our equipment at an industrial level. We plan to
continue to hire operational staff and manufacturing staff in anticipation of
new sales.
Third
Quarter 2010 through Third Quarter 2011
We plan
to complete construction of the refinery converting solar or wind power to fuel
and intend to complete several additional refineries converting liquid waste to
fuel for the automotive market. The plan of the Company is to launch
the automotive market by turning car dealers into fuel
producers. Each car dealer disposes of large volumes of liquid waste
in the form of used motor oil, used antifreeze and other waste. This
waste can be used to produce fuel, and that fuel can be sold for use in bi-fuel
automobiles. Several refineries will be built for these markets and will be
strategically placed at car dealers throughout the United States.
The
current state of the economy and financial markets has made it difficult for us
to achieve our past operational plans and the Company can make no assurance that
we will achieve our operational plan in the future.
The
foregoing represents our best estimate of our current planning, and is based on
a reasonable assessment of funds we expect to become
available. However, our plans may vary significantly depending upon
the amount of funds raised and status of our business plan. In the event we are
not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds will be
required and we would then not be able to proceed with our business plan as
anticipated. Should this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to
support the continued operation of our business.
The
Company has financed its operations primarily through cash generated
by the sale of stock through a private offering. We believe we can
not currently satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our
current cash and expected revenues from our private placement and
sales. However, management plans to increase revenue and obtain
additional financing in order to sustain operations for at least the next twelve
months. We have already sold shares to support our continued operations.
However, completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate
revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In
the absence of our projected revenues, we may be unable to proceed with our plan
of operations. Even without significant revenues within the next twelve months,
we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we
will require financing to potentially achieve our goal of profit, revenue and
growth.
In the
event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional
funds will be required, and we would then not be able to proceed with our
business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should
this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to support the continued
operation of our business. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and
our plan of operations, we would incur operating losses in the foreseeable
future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we may not be able
to generate enough gross profit from our services to cover our operating
expenses. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue to operate as a going concern.
15
As
reflected in the unaudited financial statements, we are in the development
stage, and have an accumulated deficit from inception of $1,822,052 and have a
negative cash flow from operations of $444,889 from inception. This raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's
ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The
unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
At June
30, 2009 the Company had $45,948 of cash to meet current
obligations. The Company may rely upon the issuance of common stock
and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative
expenses until operations generate cash flows sufficient to support the on-going
business.
Management
believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and
implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to
continue as a going concern. We anticipate that we will require approximately
$10,000,000 to fund our plan of operations.
In effort
to achieve revenue plans we have been concentrating on selling MagneGas as a
metal cutting fuel. We have received firm orders from several entities for the
Magnegas produced from non-hazardous waste. We have an additional
non-binding letter of intent to process liquid waste based on proposals and our
demonstrations. The non-binding letter of intent includes the
installation of a plant scale test at a local sewage treatment facility
processing sludge. To fund operations, the Company has received
$318,500 in cash proceeds via sales of common stock to date and received an
additional $105,000 in cash proceeds from a shareholder loans since
inception. Additionally, to deliver on the metal cutting gas orders
we have the commitment of six persons dedicated to the fulfillment of orders and
it is headed by a well known industry consultant, whom we have named as
president to help develop operating guidelines as well as being instrumental in
the marketing and development of our brand offering.
To expand
understanding of our efforts and progress in generating revenue:
Metal Cutting
Magnegas: Marketing efforts are being concentrated on
industry wholesalers to utilize their established customer base and distribution
channels. Our current operations in new facilities (previously
disclosed month to month agreement) have been set up for
expansion. We estimate current facilities have capacity for 400-500
bottles to be processed per week. Our new facilities allow us the
flexibility to ramp up for greater volume, as market interest is anticipated to
increase.
In April
of 2009, the Company established a relationship with Crumpton Welding Supply in
Florida to distribute Magnegas at each of their four
locations. In order to better support this relationship, the
Company is currently seeking a sales representative to partner with Crumpton to
generate sales in their territory. In August of 2009, the Company
established a relationship with York Welding Supply in Pennsylvania to
distribute Magnegas fuel to their customers in
Pennsylvania In addition, the Company has a relationship with a
small distributor, Boca Industries in Atlanta, Georgia. Boca recently
added two new sales representatives dedicated to launching the Magnegas product
in their territory. The company is aggressively seeking National distributors to
expand the market.
Letter of Intent: A
non-binding letter of intent was agreed, in principal with a local
municipality's water treatment facility. Our existing prototype
equipment is being modified for the specifics required for this
project. The initial fuel generated from this project will be
sold in the metal cutting market. At this time we are unable to accurately
estimate the volume that will be processed. Upon completion of
the 12 month test the contract will be evaluated and subject to renegotiation.
No date has been determined when this project is to commence and funding will be
required to implement this project as per our plan of operations.

Results of
Operations
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and for the period December
9, 2005 (date of inception) through June 30, 2009.
Revenues
For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009, 2008 we generated revenues of $2,585,
$7,297, $4,051, and $8,079 , respectively from our metal cutting fuel sales
operations. The decrease was due to the general economic
conditions as it effects almost all production and construction areas, creating
inconsistent orders.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
costs were incurred in the amount of $248,017, $60,852, $394,976, and $284,024
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2009. The
increase was attributable to the issuance of common stock for services valued in
excess of $100,000 greater than the prior periods and professional fees
increasing due to public filing requirements. The major
expenses incurred have been for professional and non-cash stock based
compensation and account for the variances in costs from comparative prior year
costs.
Net Loss
Net
losses incurred in all periods presented have been primarily due to the
operating costs. These expenses resulted in the net losses in the
amount of $261,783, $66,969, $422,155 and $290,554 for the three and six months
end June 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The Company incurred net
losses of $1,822,052 for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through
June 30, 2009, respectively. The increase in the year over year net
loss was due primarily from general and administrative expenses, particularly
professional services and stock-based compensation. At this time,
normal costs of public filing will continue and it is not known
when significant revenues will occur to off-set these
expenses.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
The
Company is currently financing its operations primarily through cash generated
by the sale of stock through a private offering. We believe we can
not currently satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our
current cash and expected revenues from our private placement and
sales. However, management plans to increase revenue and obtain
additional financing in order to sustain operations for at least the next twelve
months. We have already sold shares to support our continued operations.
However, completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate
revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In
the absence of our projected revenues, we may be unable to proceed with our plan
of operations. Even without significant revenues within the next twelve months,
we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we
may require financing to potentially achieve our goal of profit, revenue and
growth.
In the
event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional
funds may be required, and we would then not be able to proceed with our
business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should
this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to support the continued
operation of our business. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and
our plan of operations, we would incur operating losses in the foreseeable
future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we may not be able
to generate enough gross profit from our services to cover our operating
expenses. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue to operate as a going concern.
As
reflected in the unaudited financial statements, we are in the development
stage, and have an accumulated deficit from inception of $1,822,052 and have a
negative cash flow from operations of $444,889 from inception. This raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's
ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The
unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
At June
30, 2009 the Company had $45,948 of cash to meet current
obligations. The Company may rely upon the issuance of common stock
and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative
expenses until operations generate cash flows sufficient to support the on-going
business.

determined by the Board of Directors that there were certain liabilities
associated with share ownership of a company domiciled in India and these
liabilities could not be properly assessed to the satisfaction of the
Board. In addition, the royalty terms were not satisfactory,
requiring a royalty on sales after direct expenses, versus a royalty on gross
sales. Negotiation is currently underway to restructure this
agreement without an equity participation due to the inherent risk to Magnegas
Corporation of the share ownership, instead including better royalty
terms. As of August 6, 2009, this negotiation has not been completed
and the Company can make no assessment as to the expected outcome of the
negotiation.
Magnegas
Israel LLC
Magnegas
Israel LLC issued Magnegas Corp a minority share interest of 20% of their issued
and outstanding stock. We have no common directors or officers in this company
and are unrelated. Magnegas Israel LLC owns the intellectual property
rights for Magnegas for Israel. Magnegas Israel LLC has no assets or cash at
this time. The completion of this transaction will be completed
within a reasonable time, at which time the Company will recognize an investment
in the venture.
We
currently have no written agreement with this company and it is intended that
MagneGas, in exchange for the 20% interest, will advise the Israel Company and
additionally provide manufacturing support. Magnegas Israel, LLC is
seeking funding to complete the purchase of a demonstration Magnegas
refinery. As of August 6, 2009, this funding has not been
secured.
Philippine
and Vietnam Market
On July
7, 2009 the Company signed definitive Asset Purchase and Distribution agreements
with American Investments, Inc for the purchase of a $1.2million Magnegas
Refinery and the granting of exclusive distribution rights for the Philippine
and Vietnam markets. In June 2009, MagneGas received $100,000 as down-payment on
the equipment purchase order. The signed agreement calls for an
additional $390,000 is due on December 1, 2009, the anticipated commencement of
construction. The balance of $710,000 is due prior to the final delivery of the
refinery.
Magnegas
Australasia Pvt. Ltd.
In May,
the Company appointed Magnegas Australasia as the exclusive distributor of the
Magnegas technology for the Australian and New Zealand Markets. This
appointment is subject to Magnegas Australasia purchasing a
demonstration refinery to launch the market. Magnegas Australasia is
currently seeking funding to purchase this refinery and the Company can make no
assurances that these funding efforts will be successful.
Kelso
Manufacturing Rep Agreement
George
Kelso, LLC continues to promote the Company and invited Richard Connelly to
attend the “Pennsylvania Tech Expo” in June to promote the Magnegas
Technology. Several potential relationships were established during
this event. The primary focus of the Kelso activity is to
help locate a federal or state grant to set up a demonstration center for the
Magnegas Technology in the Northeastern United States. It is
the opinion of the Company that until a demonstration center is established in
the region, sales of equipment will be limited. The Company is currently seeking
funding for this demonstration center both through grant and equity channels as
outlined in our Plan of Operations with the support of Kelso at the local
level.

York
Welding Supply
On August
5, 2009 York Welding Supply from Pennsylvania agreed to distribute Magnegas fuel
to its metal working customers in Pennsylvania. York will immediately
begin selling MagneGas created from non-hazardous liquid waste, to their
Pennsylvania customers through their office in York and to a territory that also
includes Harrisburg, Lancaster and Reading. York will submit purchase orders
based on customer demand and sufficient to maintain inventory at its
distribution center; York has already placed its first small order as its
initial entry into the market.
Crumpton
Welding Supply
In April
of 2009, the Company established a relationship with Crumpton Welding Supply in
Florida to distribute Magnegas at each of their four
locations. The Company is currently seeking an experienced
Welding Gas Sales Representative to become a Manufacturer’s Representative and
support the Crumpton relationship by attending trade events and conducting joint
sales calls with Crumpton Representatives. It is the opinion of the
Company that a dedicated Magnegas Manufacturing Representative is required to
support this relationship and drive sales.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board and other standard-setting bodies issued
new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting standards
during the year. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements
that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not
believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the
corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near
term.
Critical Accounting
Policies
The
Company’s significant accounting policies are presented in the Company’s notes
to financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009 and fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008, which are contained in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on
Form 10-K. The significant accounting policies that are most critical and aid in
fully understanding and evaluating the reported financial results include the
following:
The
Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America. These principals require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these estimates
are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
The
Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various
services. For these transactions the Company follows the guidance in
EITF 96-18 "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than
Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or
Services". Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value
of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the
common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm
commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is
reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is
complete.
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
"Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," long-lived assets
such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be
held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the
asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash
flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals,
if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not
recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized
for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the
asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair
value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate
with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not
recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

Evaluation of disclosure
controls and procedures
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange
Act), as of June 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of such periods are not effective 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 and forms and that our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or
persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure
The
company has limited resources and as a result, a material weakness in financial
reporting currently exists. Those weaknesses include:
Lack of
Effective Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures. We do not have effective
policies regarding the independence of or directors and do not have independent
directors. The lack of independent directors means that there is no effective
review, authorization, or oversight of management or management’s actions by
persons that were not involved in approving or executing those actions. We have
no conflicts of interest policies and there is no provision for the review and
approval of transactions between the Company and interested members of
management.
Lack of
Effective Policies Regarding the General Accounting System. We do not have any
documented processes for the input, accumulation, or testing of financial data
that would provide assurance that all transactions are accurately and timely
recorded or that the financial reports will be prepared on a periodic
basis.
Management
has determined that the Company does not have the financial resources or
personnel to address any of the material weaknesses identified or to conduct a
more robust evaluation of its controls. As resources become available,
management will develop and implement remedial actions to address the material
weaknesses it has identified.
A
material weakness is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB auditing standard 5) 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. Management has determined that a material weakness exists due
to a lack of segregation of duties, resulting from the Company's limited
resources.
The
Company’s management, including the President (Principal Executive Officer),
Director, and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting and Financial
Officer), confirm that there was no change in the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
