the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company from Michael Raleigh, 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. The technology related to this process has been licensed in
perpetuity from a Company, related by common management (see note
10).
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 $160,372 and $1,560,269 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception)
through the period ended March 31, 2009, respectively. As of March 31, 2009 the
Company had $17,403 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 or debt
financing 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 and retain key employees, the ability
to build and manufacture such proprietary machines to provide services and the
ability to obtain regulatory permits as needed. There may be other risks and
circumstances that management may be unable to predict.
F-5
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:
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 month period ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and the period December 9,
2005 (date of inception) through March 31, 2009; (b) the financial position at
March 31, 2009, and (c) cash flows for the three month period ended March 31,
2009, 2008 and the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through March 31,
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 principals 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 months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period December 9, 2005
(date of inception) to March 31, 2009 are 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.
F-6
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.
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
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
$466,439 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 months ended March 31,
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 months
ended March 31, 2009, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (see note
10) 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 $280, $0, and
$280 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and for the period December
9, 2005 (date of inception) through March 31, 2009, respectively..
The costs
of advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $10,375,
$1,500, and $18,378 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and for the
period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through March 31, 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
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. The Company is not part of a consolidating group and
currently is not affected by this pronouncement.
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 Company does not anticipate that the
adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 will have an impact on its results of operations or
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
will not materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations.
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 materially
affect the Company’s results of operations or financial condition for the period
ended March 31, 2009.
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 financial statements.
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. 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 elect to early adopt FSP SFAS No. 157-4; however, it
does not expect the adoption 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.
F-8
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; however,
it does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its 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. 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 $191,100 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%.
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.
F-9
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 months
ended March 31, 2009 and $16,830 for the period December 9, 2005 (date of
inception) through March 31, 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.
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
$0.001. The holders of Common Stock and the equivalent Preferred
Stock, voting together, shall appoint the members of the Board of the
Directors. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one
vote.
Founding
contributors were issued 67,052,000 shares during 2007. As
management determined that the Company had negligible value, no value was
attributed to the founders’ shares.
During
the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the company issued 1,519,000 common
shares to various consultants. The Company also issued 100,000 common
shares under a consulting agreement, as discussed in footnote
10. During the three month period ending March 31, 2009, the Company
sold 200,000 common shares at the prevailing market quotation ($.05) per share
for cash.
10. Subsequent
Events
The
Company is currently in negotiations with companies to expanded territories in
the development of the MagneGas technologies. As of March 31,
2008, 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. The acquisition will be valued at the closing value of the
common shares issued at the time of the agreement ($100,000). The
company is currently renegotiating the royalty terms currently in place with
Jeruz Magnegas Pvt. Limited and as a result the transaction has not been
completed. It is anticipated that the fulfillment of the terms of
this agreement will be completed within a reasonable time, at which time the
Company will recognize an investment in the venture.

Magnegas
Israel LLC
In May
2009, subsequent to the period, 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

Plan of
Operations
During
the next twelve 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 twelve months is to install three 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, one will be built and used as a refinery for the
metal cutting fuel market and one will be developed for the automotive
market. These refineries will be used to promote our core business
strategy. During the next twelve months, we intend to pursue private
equity funding of $10 million in various phases using a combination of equity
financing through our shares of common stock and grant funding through the
various federal and state grant programs available for new energy
technologies. 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 to
produce fuel with our technology. We will also pursue all needed federal, state
and local regulatory permits necessary to implement our operational
plan.
Second 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 and Tampa distributor and will pursue
agreements with additional metal cutting fuel distributors throughout the United
States. We will aggressively pursue equity 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.
-1-
Third
Quarter 2009
We will
begin construction of two PlasmaArcFlow demonstration centers, one to process
sludge or sewage at a local municipality and one for the metal cutting and
welding fuel market. 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 our capital raise and to
identify potential acquisitions in our market. We will conduct
additional research and development as outlined above.
Fourth
Quarter 2009
We will
install our Plasma Arc Flow demonstration center at a local Florida sewage
treatment facility to process human sludge. We anticipate that we can complete
construction of our metal cutting fuel refinery and will begin construction
of a third refinery with a location to be determined. We will
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.
First Quarter
2010
By the
first quarter of 2010, we anticipate being fully operational with three
refineries located in various regions of the United States. We will
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 first hand the operation of our
equipment at an industrial level. We will continue to hire operational
staff and manufacturing staff in anticipation of new sales.
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
current economic climate has negatively impacted our ability to raise funds,
sell gas and attract customers and this has impacted our ability to
complete our operational plan as planned
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.
As
reflected in the unaudited financial statements, we are in the development
stage, and have an accumulated deficit from inception of $1,560,269 and have a
negative cash flow from operations of $417,628 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 March
31, 2009 the Company had $17,403 of capital resources 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.
-2-
In effort
to achieve revenue plans we have been concentrating on selling MagneGas as a
metal cutting fuel. We have two metal cutting gas distributors for the Magnegas
produced from non-hazardous waste. We have an additional non-binding
letter of intent to process liquid waste. This letter is from
the city of Dunedin in Florida to conduct a 6 month plant scale test converting
human sludge to Magnegas..
To fund
the gas sales,and overall operations, the Company has raised $229,500 in
cash proceeds via sales of common stock to date and raised an additional
$105,000 in cash proceeds from a shareholder loans during 2009. In order to
fund the plant scale test at the city of Dunedin, a minimum of an additional
$500,000 is required Additionally, to deliver on these 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: Sales commenced on March 6,
2008. 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 2008, the company entered into a material definitive
agreement with a regional supplier of metal cutting and welding
market. The agreement defined terms, location and minimum purchase
amounts, which should yield a minimum of $36,000 in the first year. In
March of 2009, the company began distributing Magnegas for metal cutting through
a Tampa based gas distributor who has ordered Magnegas to stock their four
locations
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 6 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 months ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and for the period December 9, 2005
(date of inception) through March 31, 2009.
Revenues
For the
three months ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and for period December 9, 2005
(date of inception) through March 31, 2009 we generated revenues of $1,466, $782
and $13,691, respectively from our metal cutting fuel sales
operations. The increase was due to greater consistency of
orders.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
costs were incurred in the amount of $146,959 and $223,172 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The decrease was attributable to the
issuance of common stock for services valued in the amount of $145,000 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.
-3-
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 $160,372 and $223,585 for the three months end March 31, 2009 and 2008
respectively. The Company incurred net losses of $1,560,269 for the
period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through March 31, 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.

business.
Management
believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and

continue as a going concern
Subsequent
Events
In May
2009, subsequent to the period, 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.
We
currently have no written agreement with this company and it is intended that
MagneGas will advise the Israel company from time to time, in exchange for the
20% interest and additionally provide manufacturing support.
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 March 31, 2009 and fiscal year
ended December 30, 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:
-4-
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 March 31, 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.
-5-
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 March 31, 2009 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
