NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2010
NOTE
1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Cetrone
Energy Company was incorporated on January 28, 2008 in the State of
Nevada. The principal business of the Company is to develop “green”
renewable fuel source for agricultural operations, specifically
biodiesel. The Company’s year-end is December 31. The Company
currently has no operations or realized revenues from its planned principle
business purpose and, in accordance with FASB ASC 915 “Development Stage Entities,”
is considered a Development Stage Enterprise.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This
summary of significant accounting policies of Cetrone Energy Company is
presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial
statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of
the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been
consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires 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. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash and cash
equivalents
For the
Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three
months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no
cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes." Under the
asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment
occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it
is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through
future operations.

NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH

Share Based
Expenses
FASB ASC
718 "Compensation - Stock
Compensation" prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all
stock-based payments award to employees, including employee stock options,
restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights,
may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company determines if a
present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or
other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets
exists if: (a) the
option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or
(b) the present
obligation is implied because of an entity's past practices or stated policies.
If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a
liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as
equity. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to
non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC
505-50 "Equity - Based
Payments to Non-Employees." Measurement of share-based payment
transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more
reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services
received; or (b) the
equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction
is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance
completion date.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash,
trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued
expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost
basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments,
approximates fair value at March 31, 2010.
FASB ASC
820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair
value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as
follows:
Level 1.
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2.
Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable
either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3.
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires
the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The
Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis at March 31, 2010. The Company did not have any fair value
adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis during the period ended December 31, 2010.
Accounting
Pronouncements
Recently Implemented
Standards
In
February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting
Standards Update 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic
855):Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure
Requirements. This Update amends to Subtopic 855-10,
Subsequent Events – Overall, to require SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events
through the date that the financial statements are issued.

CETRONE
ENERGY COMPANY

NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2010
In
January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements
related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance
requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and
settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become
effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. The
adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Going
Concern
As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had negative working
capital and an accumulated deficit incurred through March 31,
2010. The Company currently has minimal operations which raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event
the Company cannot continue in existence.
Management
has established plans designed to increase the sales of the Company’s products,
and decrease debt. The Company plans to source raw materials needed
for remanufacture domestically, then produce the needed biofuel in small batches
tailored to the needs of customer demand until such time as larger quantities
can be produced. Profit margins will presumably increase as batch
size and storage limits can be increased. However, currently the Company is
dependent upon raising proceeds from the sale of its common stock or through
debt financing in order to continue the development of its proposed
business. Management intends to seek additional capital from new
equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase
liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business
plan.
An
estimated $120,000 is believed necessary to continue operations and increase
development through the next fiscal year. The timing and amount of
capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for
products and services and the availability of opportunities for expansion
through affiliations and other business relationships. Management
intends to seek new capital from new equity securities issuances to provide
funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth, and fully implement
its business plan.
NOTE
3– PREPAID EXPENSES
The
Company paid $2,500 for services in November 2009. The services were
performed in March 2010. The Company deemed the expenses as prepaid
in 2009 and expensed upon performance of services in 2010.
NOTE
4– CAPITAL STOCK
Common
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock. All
shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per
share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders
of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all
of the directors of the Company.

NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2010
In its
initial capitalization, the Company issued 2,200,000 shares of common stock for
a total of $2,000 cash, and $2,000 in services. Subsequent to the
issuance of shares, a consultant was unable to complete the required services
and 100,000 shares for $1,000 in services were returned to the
Company.
During
the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company sold 25,775 shares of common stock
pursuant to a registered offering at $0.08 per share for total cash of
$2,062.
During
the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company sold 126,375 shares of common
stock pursuant to a registered offering at $0.08 per share for total cash of
$10,110.
Net loss per common
share
Net loss
per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per
Share.” The weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during each period is used to compute basic loss per
share. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted averaged
number of shares and dilutive potential common shares
outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common
shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net
loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during 2010 or 2009 and since inception. As
of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and since inception, the Company had no dilutive
potential common shares.
NOTE
5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On May
16, 2008, an officer and director of the Company used $100 to open up a bank
account on behalf of the Company. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
the Company has not yet reimbursed the officer for this cash
advance. The funds advanced are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and
due on demand.

inception. Our objective is to enter into the re-manufactured
bio-fuels industry. We anticipate that this industry will become more
and more completive over the course of the next twelve
months. Competitors within this market segment will more than likely
have superior financing and be better positioned than CEC.
The
Company currently has approximately $2,700 of cash on hand with total
liabilities of $11,976. Investors must be aware that if we are unable
to secure additional funding within the next three to four months, estimated at
$50,000 are business will likely fail and any investment made into the Company
would be lost in its entirety
If the
Company is able to secure additional funding, of there can be no
guarantee or assurance, CEC plans to source raw materials needed for the
remanufacture of bio-fuel domestically; and then if and when, revenues allow we
plan to produce our own bio-fuel in small batches customized to meet the needs
of specific clientele. If and when we can establish clientele and
subsequently increase revenue we plan to produce larger quantities of bio-fuel
as demand dictates within our market segment. In order to begin
generating bio-fuel CEC will be required to source out raw materials including
vegetable oil and petroleum distillates. We currently have no
contracts or agreements in place with any supplier of the required raw materials
and there can be no guarantee or assurance that we will be capable of securing
any such contract at favorable terms in the future.
We
anticipate that profit margins will increase as batch size and storage limits
can be increased. We cannot guarantee however, that demand for our
product will ever increase. The vast majority of all agricultural
enterprises use distillate fuel oil in their operations. We believe
our intended product(s) could represent a cost effective environmental friendly
alternative to diesel fuel not only agricultural applications but also across
multiple market segments that rely on diesel fuel for their energy
needs.
We
anticipate that our largest target market will be agribusinesses. In
order to reach and grow within our market segment it is critical we establish
our bio-fuel products as reliable and available to potential customers. This
will require us to coordinate closely with third-party providers such as tanker
truck delivery services and potentially conversion services needed in order for
engines and machinery to effectively utilize our bio-fuel. It should
be noted that agribusiness is seasonally driven, as such during off seasons our
anticipated business would likely suffer and we cannot provide any assurance to
investors that we will be able to endure during these downtimes.

DESCRIPTION
OF THE PROPERTY
We own no
property. Michael Cetrone, officer and director, makes available his home office
located at 11010 E. Boundary Road, Elk, WA 99009- telephone (509) 435.2339 to
the Company free of charge. There are no arrangements by and between
Mr. Cetrone and the Company for use of the office space. The Company
does not have exclusive use of this office space; Mr. Cetrone also utilizes this
space for purposes other than those of the Company.
Cetrone’s
management does not currently have policies regarding the acquisition or sale of
real estate assets primarily for possible capital gain or primarily for income.
Cetrone does not presently hold any investments or interests in real
estate, investments in real estate mortgages or securities of or interests in
persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
Plan
of Operation
We must
raise cash to implement our business plan. We will require approximately $50,000
for the next twelve months in order to continue our proposed
business. We have accounts payable of $11,976. We estimate that we
will require $12,000 for reporting requirements (bookkeeping, accounting, and
filing fees) this would leave the Company with $26,000 to expend towards the
development of its proposed business. If we are unable to secure
additional funding within the next three to four months are business will likely
fail and any investment made into the Company would be lost in its
entirety.
Since
incorporation, the Company has financed its operations through minimal initial
capitalization and nominal business activity. As of March 31, 2010 we had
$2,742 of cash on hand. We had total liabilities of $11,979 of which
expenses were primarily related to costs associated with maintaining reporting
company status with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
To date,
the Company has not implemented its fully planned principal operations or
strategic business plan. Presently, CEC is attempting to secure sufficient
monetary assets to increase operations. CEC cannot assure any investor
that it will be able to enter into sufficient business operations adequate
enough to insure continued operations.
The
Company’s ability to commence operations is entirely dependent upon raising
additional proceeds, estimated at $50,000. If CEC does not raise at
least the minimum offering amount, it will be unable to establish a base of
operations, without which it will be unable to begin to generate any revenues in
the future. If CEC does not produce sufficient cash flow to support its
operations over the next 12 months, the Company will need to raise additional
capital by issuing capital stock in exchange for cash in order to continue as a
going concern.
6
There are
no formal or informal agreements to attain such financing. CEC cannot
assure any investor that, if needed, sufficient financing can be obtained or, if
obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms. Without realization of
additional capital, it would be unlikely for operations to continue and any
investment made by an investor would be lost in its entirety.
CEC
management does not expect to incur research and development costs within the
next twelve months.
CEC
currently does not own any significant plant or equipment that it would seek to
sell in the near future
The
Company has not paid for expenses on behalf of any director. Additionally,
CEC believes that this policy shall not materially change within the next twelve
months.
Competitive
Factors
Bio-fuels
industry is fairly new and undeveloped at this time and it competes directly
with the established infrastructure of the domestic oil and gas
industry. As such, our competition represents a large, well
developed, mature industry with well established distribution and delivery
systems. Our direct competitors include companies like Exxon/Mobile,
Chevron, British Petroleum and Texaco. We will essentially begin be
providing a ‘boutique’ type fuel outlet providing more environmentally friendly
fuel at a competitive cost. There can be no assurance that Cetrone
Energy Company will ever be able to compete with any of the competitors
described herein. In addition, there may be other competitors the
company is unaware of at this time that would also impede or prevent the
company’s success.
Regulations
If and
when we conduct operations we will be required to comply with all regulations,
rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the
manufacturing of alternative fuels, specifically bio-fuel in the United States.
Moreover, if we ever enter into production, we may have expenses to comply with
permit and regulatory environment laws both locally and federally.
Employees
CEC
management does not anticipate the need to hire employees over the next twelve
(12) months. Currently, the Company believes the services provided by
its officers appear sufficient at this time. Our officers/directors
do not have an employment agreement with us. We presently do not have pension,
health, annuity, insurance, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we
may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no benefits available to
any employee.
Investment
Policies
CEC does
not have an investment policy at this time. Any excess funds it has
on hand will be deposited in interest bearing notes such as term deposits or
short term money instruments. There are no restrictions on what the director is
able to invest or additional funds held by CEC. Presently CEC
does not have any excess funds to invest.
Since we
have had very minimal business activity, it is the opinion of management that
the most meaningful financial information relates primarily to current liquidity
and solvency. As at March 31, 2010 we had $2,742 cash on hand and
liabilities of $11,976. The Company will require cash injections of
approximately $50,000 to enable the Company to meet its anticipated expenses
over the next twelve months. Unless we raise additional funds immediately, we
will be faced with a working capital deficiency that may result in the failure
of our business, resulting in a complete loss of any investment made into the
Company. Our future financial success will be dependent on the
success of obtaining capital.
Our
financial statements contained herein have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge
our obligations in the normal course of business. We incurred a net loss for the
period from the inception of our business on January 28, 2008 to March 31, 2010
of $24,406. We did not earn any revenues from operations during the
aforementioned period.

Critical
Accounting Policies
|
Our
financial statements and related public financial information are based on the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments
and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on
the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These
estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external
disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial
condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting
assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively
applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor
significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial
statements.
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial
statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact
our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these
policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that
have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require
management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual
results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given
current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other
reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our
consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the
periods presented in this report.
Trends. We
are a development stage business and have not generated any revenue and have no
prospects of generating any revenue in the foreseeable future. There
can be no guarantee or assurance that management will be successful in
developing the proposed business of the Company. Investors must be
aware that failure to do so would result in a complete loss of any investment
made into the Company
Limited Operating History; Need for
Additional Capital. There is no historical financial
information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance as a
business. We are a development stage company and have not generated any revenues
since our formation on January 28, 2008. We require immediate
additional capital in order to continue as a going concern. If we are
unable to secure approximately $50,000 of the course of the next twelve months
our business will fail and any investment made into the Company would be lost in
its entirety.
We cannot
guarantee we will be successful in our business activities or in any activity
that management directs the business. Our business is subject to
risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including
limited capital resources, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost
increases in services.
Results
of Operations – Since inception to March 31, 2010.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, we had a net loss of $6,188 compared to a net
loss of $4,510 for the three months period ended March 31, 2009. The
losses were a result of the Company having no revenues for either of the
periods. The expenses for these periods were related primarily to fees
associated with maintaining reporting company status. The Company had
an accumulated loss since inception of $24,406. We have not
generated any revenue from operations since inception. Our
accumulated loss from our date of inception represents various expenses incurred
with organizing the company, undertaking audits, recognizing management fees and
general office expenses.
Balance Sheet as at March 31,
2010. We had $2,742 of cash available as of March 31, 2010.
Our total liabilities at March 31, 2010 were $11,976. Total shares
issued outstanding, as at March 31, 2010, was 2,252,150.

RISK
We
believe that there have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures
for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Michael
Cetrone, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on
that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded
that these disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. See
below within this section “CONCLUSION” for specifics of why the controls and
procedures were determined to be ineffective.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. See
below within this section “CONCLUSION” for management’s plans relating to
controls and procedures in the future.
CEO/CFO
CERTIFICATIONS
Appearing
immediately following the Signatures section of this Amended Quarterly Report
there are two separate forms of "Certifications" of the CEO/CFO, Michael
Cetrone. The second form of Certification is required in accord with
Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certification).
This section of the Quarterly Report, which you are currently reading is
the information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section
302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the
Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics
presented.
DISCLOSURE
CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
Disclosure
Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules
and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of
ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
9
Internal
Controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing
reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our
assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) our
transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation
of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
LIMITATIONS
ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
The
Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our
Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must
reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of
controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two
or more people, or by management override of the
control.
The
design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected.
CONCLUSION
In
accordance with SEC requirements, the CEO/CFO note that, as of the quarter ended
March 31, 2010 covered by this report, there were material weaknesses in our
Internal Controls.
•
Policies and Procedures for the Financial Close and Reporting Process —
Currently there are no policies or procedures that clearly define the roles in
the financial close and reporting process. The various roles and
responsibilities related to this process should be defined, documented, updated
and communicated. Failure to have such policies and procedures in place amounts
to a material weakness to the Company’s internal controls over its financial
reporting processes.
•
Representative with Financial Expertise — For the period ending March 31, 2010,
the Company did not have a representative with the requisite knowledge and
expertise to review the financial statements and disclosures at a sufficient
level to monitor the financial statements and disclosures of the Company.
Failure to have a representative with such knowledge and expertise amounts to a
material weakness to the Company’s internal controls over its financial
reporting processes.
•
Adequacy of Accounting Systems at Meeting Company Needs — The accounting system
in place at the time of the assessment lacks the ability to provide high quality
financial statements from within the system, and there were no procedures in
place or built into the system to ensure that all relevant information is
secure, identified, captured, processed, and reported within the accounting
system. Failure to have an adequate accounting system with procedures to ensure
the information is secure and accurately recorded and reported amounts to a
material weakness to the Company’s internal controls over its financial
reporting processes.
•
Segregation of Duties — Management has identified a significant general lack of
definition and segregation of duties throughout the financial reporting
processes. Due to the pervasive nature of this issue, the lack of adequate
definition and segregation of duties amounts to a material weakness to the
Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting processes.
10
• Lack of
Audit Committee and Outside Directors in the Company’s Board of Directors - We
do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on our board of
directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and
monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
In light
of the foregoing, once we have the adequate funds, management plans to develop
the following additional procedures to help address these material
weaknesses:
• Cetrone
will create and refine a structure in which critical accounting policies and
estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to
multiple reviews by accounting personnel. In addition, we plan to enhance and
test our month-end and year-end financial close process. Additionally, our audit
committee will increase its review of our disclosure controls and procedures. We
also intend to develop and implement policies and procedures for the financial
close and reporting process, such as identifying the roles, responsibilities,
methodologies, and review/approval process. We believe these actions will
remediate the material weaknesses by focusing additional attention and resources
in our internal accounting functions. However, the material weaknesses will not
be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a
sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that
these controls are operating effectively.
