ENERTECK
CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARY,
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 –
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of EnerTeck
Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with
the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in
EnerTeck’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of
operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The
results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the
results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial
statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in
the
audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2007 as reported in the
Form 10-KSB have been omitted.
NOTE
2 - INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The
basic
net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss)
applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding.
Diluted
net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income
applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis,
by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive
securities. For 2008 and 2007, potential dilutive securities had an
anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net
loss per common share.
NOTE
3 –
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
In
July
2006, EnerTeck acquired the EnerBurn technology. The purchase price for the
EnerBurn technology is to be paid as follows: (i) $1.0 million cash paid on
July
13, 2006, and (ii) promissory note for $2.0 million bearing interest each month
at a rate of 4.0% per annum, compounded monthly, and which shall be paid in
four
annual payments of $500,000 plus accumulated interest to that date on each
anniversary of the closing until the entire purchase price is paid in full.
The
second installment payment on this note of $500,000 plus compounded interest
was
made in advance of the due date on July 3, 2008. EnerTeck has determined that
the life of the intellectual property is indefinite. Therefore, the asset is
not
amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually.
Effective
January 1, 2006, EnerTeck began recording compensation expense associated with
stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment,
as
interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Prior to
January 1, 2006, EnerTeck had accounted for stock options according to
the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and
related interpretations, and therefore no related compensation expense was
recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. EnerTeck adopted the
modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS No. 123R, and,
consequently, have not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under
this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options
recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes the quarterly
amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option
awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No.
123.
EnerTeck
granted 64,200 non-statutory stock options to company employees during the
three
months ended March 31, 2008 under the Enerteck Corporation 2003 Stock Option
Plan. These options were divided based upon current compensation levels to
all
current salaried employees. No further stock option compensation is planned
at
the present time.

NOTE
5 - EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
During
the second quarter of 2008, the Company issued 526,334 shares of common stock
upon the exercise of warrants at an aggregate exercise price of $333,800. Such
warrants were exercised following the temporary reduction in the warrant
exercise prices of all of the Company’s then outstanding warrants by 40.0%
effective immediately through and including June 2, 2008, which was extended
until June 30, 2008.
NOTE
6 –
PRIVATE OFFERING
During
June 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a private offering
of stock and warrants. Pursuant thereto and during the third quarter of 2008,
the Company issued 800,095 shares of its common stock at $0.70 per share to
15
investors for total gross proceeds of $560,066.50. The investors were also
issued a total of 400,047.5 warrants exercisable into shares of common stock
at
$1.20 per share.
NOTE
7 - LINE OF CREDIT
During
March 2008, the Company entered into a revolving line-of-credit agreement with
Merrill Lynch Bank USA. The line of credit provides for short-term borrowings
up
to $100,000, with interest at LIBOR plus .5%. The line is collateralized by
cash
and cash equivalents totaling $215,291 at September 30, 2008.

EXECUTIVE
OVERVIEW
EnerTeck
Corporation (the “Company” or “EnerTeck Parent”) was incorporated in the State
of Washington on July 30, 1935 under the name of Gold Bond Mining Company for
the purpose of acquiring, exploring, and developing and, if warranted, the
mining of precious metals. We subsequently changed our name to Gold Bond
Resources, Inc. in July 2000. We acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. (“EnerTeck
Sub”) as a wholly owned subsidiary on January 9, 2003. For a number of years
prior to our acquisition of EnerTeck Sub, we were an inactive, public “shell”
corporation seeking to merge with or acquire an active, private company. As
a
result of this acquisition, we are now acting as a holding company, with
EnerTeck Sub as our only operating business. Subsequent to this transaction,
on
November 24, 2003 we changed our domicile from the State of Washington to the
State of Delaware, changed our name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck
Corporation and affected a one for 10 reverse common stock split. Unless the
context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us” or “our” refer to EnerTeck
Corporation and its consolidated subsidiary.
EnerTeck
Sub, our wholly owned operating subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of
Texas on November 29, 2000. It was formed for the purpose of commercializing
a
diesel fuel specific combustion catalyst known as EnerBurn®, as well as other
combustion enhancement and emission reduction technologies. Nalco/Exxon Energy
Chemicals, L.P. (“Nalco/Exxon L.P.”), a joint venture between Nalco Chemical
Corporation and Exxon Corporation commercially introduced EnerBurn in 1998.
When
Nalco/Exxon L.P. went through an ownership change in 2000, our founder, Dwaine
Reese, formed EnerTeck Sub. It acquired the EnerBurn trademark and related
assets and took over the Nalco/Exxon L.P. relationship with the EnerBurn
formulator and blender, and its supplier, Ruby Cat Technology, LLC (“Ruby Cat”).
We
utilize a sales process that includes detailed proprietary customer fleet
monitoring protocols in on-road applications that quantify data and assists
in
managing certain internal combustion diesel engine operating results while
utilizing EnerBurn. Test data prepared by Southwest Research Institute and
actual customer usage has indicated that the use of EnerBurn in diesel engines
improves fuel economy, lowers smoke, and decreases engine wear and the dangerous
emissions of both Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and microscopic airborne solid matter
(particulates). Our principal target markets presently include the trucking,
heavy construction and maritime shipping industries. We also expect that
revenues will be derived in the future from the railroad, mining and offshore
drilling industries. Each of these industries share certain common financial
characteristics, i.e. (i) diesel fuel represents a disproportionate share of
operating costs; and (ii) relatively small operating margins are prevalent.
Considering these factors, management believes that the use of EnerBurn and
the
corresponding derived savings in diesel fuel costs can positively affect the
operating margins of its customers while contributing to a cleaner
environment.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
We
recorded no sales revenues for the three months and $275,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, versus sales revenues of $246,000 and $302,000,
respectively, in the same periods of 2007. The lack of revenues for the three
month period and decrease for the nine month periods over that of the prior
year
can primarily be traced to the determination that the equipment problems with
the chemical delivery infrastructure on the Mississippi River had to be
investigated and remedied to allow for an increase in sales in the future.
We
believe that this has now been accomplished. It is anticipated that another
large order from Custom will be shipped during the fourth quarter of 2008 and
that this business should increase now that the fueling facility for EnerBurn
on
the Mississippi River located at Memphis, Tennessee is operational. We also
determined that for the future growth of the EnerBurn market it was necessary
to
restructure our marketing force and make a concerted effort to expand into
larger U.S. and international markets. We believe we have been successful in
this effort as well with the opening of new markets both within the U.S. and
in
Europe which should generate considerable sales starting in the fourth quarter
and into 2009.
On
July
28, 2005, EnerTeck Sub had entered into an Exclusive Reseller and Market
Development Agreement (the “Custom Agreement”) with Custom, a subsidiary of
Ingram Barge. Under the Custom Agreement, EnerTeck Sub has appointed Custom,
which provides dockside and midstream fueling from nine service locations in
Louisiana, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia, Missouri and Iowa, as its
exclusive reseller of EnerBurn and the related technology on the Western Rivers
of the United States, meaning the Mississippi River, its tributaries, South
Pass, and Southwest Pass, excluding the Intra Coastal Waterway. The Agreement
has an initial term of three years but can be terminated upon 60 days prior
written notice by either party. Custom is not required to purchase a minimum
volume of EnerBurn during the term of the Custom Agreement. Subsequent to the
signing of the Custom Agreement, Custom obtained the regulatory approvals and
installed the blending equipment necessary to facilitate its distribution of
EnerBurn. In February 2006, we delivered our first shipment of EnerBurn to
Custom by delivering 4,840 gallons. During most of 2006, Custom concentrated
on
completing the required infrastructural work to allow Custom to begin servicing
the Ingram and other fleets. This work was completed late in the second quarter
of 2006 and treatment of the Ingram fleet was commenced. Late in the second
quarter, Custom placed a second order of 4,840 gallons. However, Custom was
unable to take delivery until late in the fourth quarter of 2006. Sales to
Custom, currently the Company’s largest customer have been slower than initially
anticipated principally due to an equipment problems and delay in the completion
of a principal Marine fueling facility for EnerBurn on the Mississippi River.
We
believe that each of these problems has been addressed. We anticipate sales
in
this market will increase significantly during 2009.
We
expect
future revenue trends to initially come from the trucking, rail, heavy
construction and maritime industries, and subsequently expect revenues to also
be derived from the mining and offshore drilling industries. We expect this
to
occur as sales increase and the sales and marketing strategies are implemented
into the targeted markets and we create an understanding and awareness of our
technology through proof of performance demonstrations with potential customers.
Our
future growth is significantly dependent upon our ability to generate sales
from
heavy construction companies such as those currently coming on line, trucking
companies with fleets of 500 trucks or more, and barge and tugboat companies
with large maritime fleets, and railroad, mining and offshore drilling and
genset applications. Our main priorities relating to revenue are: (1) increase
market awareness of EnerBurn product through its strategic marketing plan,
(2)
growth in the number of customers and vehicles or vessels per customer, (3)
accelerating the current sales cycle, and (4) providing extensive customer
service and support.
In
early
September 2006, we made our initial sale to a member of the heavy construction
industry working in the South Central Texas area. After successful testing
this
initial customer has led to introductions and initial testing with a large
concrete company in West Texas, one of the largest highway contracts in the
state of Texas and most recently one to largest highway and heavy construction
contractor in the United States. We feel as this market matures it can become
a
major source of business for the Company.
Also,
negotiations continue for the demonstration and testing with a major American
railroad company. This follows several years of successful usage of EnerBurn,
our principal product for several years with a small railroad company, working
principally in the Houston area. Successful completion of this test, which
is
projected to take several months, should lead to the Company’s entry into a
significantly larger market.

Gross
Profit
While
their were no sales to report and zero gross profits during the third quarter
of
2008, the gross profit, defined as revenues less cost of goods sold, was
$234,000 or 85.0% of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008,
compared to $214,000 or 86.9% of sales and $251,000 or 83.1% for the three
and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2007. In terms of absolute dollars,
the
decrease for the nine month period is a direct reflection of the difference
in
sales volume for the two periods.
Cost
of
goods sold was $0 and $41,000 for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2008, which represented 0% and 15.0% of revenues respectively,
as
compared to $32,000 and $51,000 for the three month and nine month periods
ended
September 30, 2007 which represented 13.1% and 16.9% of revenues respectively.
Starting in July 2006, we have owned the EnerBurn technology and associated
assets. Although our manufacturing is done for our company by an unrelated
third
party, we should continue to realize excellent gross margins due to our
manufacturing our own product lines, compared to those we achieved in the past
when we purchased all of our products from an outside vendor.
Costs
and Expenses
Operating
expenses were $195,000 for the three months and $668,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $206,000 for the three months and
$669,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. A significant portion
of
such decrease for the three month period of 2008 was due to decreases in sales
commissions from the decrease in sales for the third quarters of 2008 compared
to the prior year period. While total operating expenses were primarily equal
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007,
other selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $277,000 for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $309,000 for the prior year period,
wages decreased to $315,000 from $322,000, depreciation decreased to $29,000
from $38,000, which decreases were offset by a non-cash stock based compensation
expense of $47,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for which there
was not a comparable item for the prior year period. Costs and expenses in
all
periods primarily consisted of wages, professional fees, rent expense,
amortization expense and other selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Net
Loss
We
reported a net loss of $204,000 during the three months and $462,000 during
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to net losses of $425,000
for
the three months and $854,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
respectively. This change was primarily due to a non cash-stock-based penalty
award accrued in the third quarter of 2007 in the amount of $423,000 related
to
the issuance of 510,000 additional stock warrants, which were the result of
our
required compliance with the terms of the December 2005 agreement with BATL
Bioenergy LLC for its December 2005 stock purchase related to delays caused
by
our prior auditors over unrelated issues. There was not a comparable non-cash
stock-based penalty award in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Without
such non cash-stock-based penalty award in 2007, our net loss for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 would have been $2,000 and
$431,000, respectively, which would have been substantially less than the net
loss suffered in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and less than the
net
loss suffered in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to
the
reduced sales achieved in the three and nine months of 2008 compared to the
prior year periods.
We
realized early in the third quarter of 2008 that a change in our marketing
effort had to be made to allow us to grow. Our ability to produce net income
in
the future will be dependent upon our ability to increase revenues faster than
we increase our selling, general and administrative expenses, research and
development expense and other expenses. The success of our large new client
demonstrations negotiated during the third quarter is critical to the future
success of our business and there are no guarantees that these demonstrations
will generate sales with these potential new clients.
Operations
Outlook
Beginning
in 2005, management began a period of reassessing the Company’s direction. Due
to a lack of working capital, and a nearly complete turnover in upper management
and sales staff dating back into 2004, senior management changed its method
of
marketing the operation during 2005. The majority of the marketing effort for
2005 was directed at targeting and gaining a foothold in one of our major target
areas, the inland marine diesel market. Management focused virtually all
resources at pinpointing and convincing one major customer within this market,
Custom, to go full fleet with our diesel fuel additive product lines. A
substantial portion of 2005 was spent testing our primary product, EnerBurn,
on
one large inland marine vessel belonging to this major potential customer.
This
resulted in the signing of the Custom Agreement and delivery of the first
shipment of EnerBurn to Custom as discussed above. This initial purchase order
plus the second order received in the second quarter of 2006, amount in size
to
more revenue and a higher margin than all the orders combined for 2005, 2004
and
2003. In addition to our efforts in the marine sales, the sales effort resulted
in initial sales to customers in the heavy construction industry market
beginning in the third quarter of 2006 in which we have used the same strategies
that had successfully started with the marine market. To date, we have signed
on
three new customers with testing to begin with another major heavy equipment
contractor in the very near future.
10
At
present, one customer, Custom, represents
a majority of our sale revenues. With Custom’s assistance, however, negotiations
are currently underway with several other large customers in the same industry
to expand this market. The loss of Custom as a customer would adversely affect
our business and we cannot provide any assurances that we could adequately
replace the loss of this customer. Sales revenues to Custom and its clients
have
been less to date than had originally been projected. This has been due
primarily to the equipment malfunction and delay in the completion of a
principal Marine fueling facility as described above. With our assistance,
each
of these problems has been addressed and is either corrected or close to being
corrected. It is expected that sales should show significant increases in 2009
.
It is also anticipated that other new customers coming on board during 2009
will
lessen the impact of a loss of Custom, should that happen.
A
major
change in the way EnerTeck does business commenced early in the third quarter
of
2006, with the completion of the purchase of the EnerBurn technology and the
commencement of manufacturing operation. This gives us permanent, exclusive
rights to the EnerBurn formulas and protocols and allows for a much better
gross
margin than in the past. The purchase of the EnerBurn technology and associated
assets was completed on July 13, 2006 and both the formulation equipment and
raw
materials are presently in place to manufacture for both on and off road product
lines.
In
this
regard, we continue to believe that the on road trucking industry is another
potentially large market for our products. The purchase of the rights to the
EnerBurn technology and the subsequent issuance to Enerteck of its manufacturing
permit for “On Road” versions of EnerBurn, allows us to now pursue this market
and it is our intention to do that during 2008. We are currently working closely
with two engineering firms on the development of a reliable and economically
priced truck mounted dosing unit which will better allow for the efficient
utilization of EnerBurn for the trucking markets. This appears to be nearing
completion and it is anticipated that this market should begin opening up for
us
later in 2008.
Our
management has also determined that it is important to expand the market for
the
Company’s products to other industries and other countries. During the third
quarter of 2008, we have focused our marketing effort on the heavy construction,
offshore marine and rail industries. We believed that it was vital to the long
term viability of the Company to expand the market for EnerBurn to newer, larger
markets. Negotiations are currently underway for the demonstration of EnerBurn
in each of these markets and we are scheduled to commence demonstrations for
major potential clients in each of these industries in the fourth quarter of
2008 and first and second quarters of 2009.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On
September 30, 2008, we had working capital deficit of ($24,000) and
stockholders’ equity of $2,567,000 compared to working capital of $159,000 and
stockholders equity of $2,287,000 on September 30, 2007.
On
September 30, 2008, we had $428,000 in cash, total assets of $3,710,000 and
total liabilities of $1,143,000, compared to $321,000 in cash, total assets
of
$3,854,000 and total liabilities of $1,567,000 on September 30,
2007.
The
increase in cash on hand on September 30, 2008, as compared to that of September
30, 2007, was primarily due to cash from the exercise of common stock purchase
warrants and from a sale of common stock and warrants through a private
placement.
Cash
available increased by $109,000 during the first nine months of 2008 to a
balance of $428,000 on September 30, 2008 as compared to $319,000 at year end
December 31, 2007. Net cash used in operating activities was $390,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $377,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Such
changes from period to period were primarily the result of a net loss of
$462,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a net loss
of
$854,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as well as changes from
period to period in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts
payable, accrued interest payable and accrued other expenses.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had investing activities of $4,000
from
the repayment of employee debt compared to investing activities of $18,000
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily from the repayment of
employee debt of $16,000. Cash provided by financing activities was
$493,000
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily from $334,000 received from
the
exercise of warrants, and $560,000 received from private stock placement, offset
by $500,000 paid on the intellectual property in 2008, compared to $250,000
from
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from the
sale
of a private placement of common stock in the amount of $750,000, offset by
$500,000 paid on the intellectual property in 2007.
11
On
July
13, 2006, we completed the acquisition of the EnerBurn formulas, technology
and
associated assets pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement executed as of the
same date (the “EnerBurn Acquisition Agreement”) between the Company and the
owner of Ruby Cat (the “Seller”). Pursuant thereto, the Company acquired from
the Seller all of its rights with respect to the liquid diesel motor vehicle
fuel additives known as EC5805A and EC5931A products (the “Products”) as well as
its rights to certain intellectual property and technology associated with
the
Products (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”). The purchase price for the
Purchased Assets was $3.0 million, payable as follows: (i) $1.0 million paid
on
July 13, 2006 in cash, and (ii) the remaining $2.0 million evidenced by a
promissory note (the “Note”) bearing interest each month at a rate of 4.0% per
annum, compounded monthly, and which shall be paid in four annual payments
of
$500,000 plus accumulated interest to that date on each anniversary of the
closing until the entire purchase price is paid in full. In order to secure
the
debt represented by the Note, the Company executed and delivered to the Seller
a
Security Agreement in which the Company granted the Seller a first priority
lien
on the Purchased Assets. The foregoing payments will draw significantly on
future cash reserves. This acquisition, however, allows us to manufacture our
own on and off road versions of the EnerBurn product line and will allow for
significant savings in the cost requirements of product sales from
manufacturing. The first payment of $500,000 was made in advance in May 2007.
An
additional $500,000 due July 13, 2008 was also made in advance of the due date,
on July 3, 2008. The remaining payments to complete the purchase are due on
July
13, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
In
the
past, we have been able to finance our operations primarily from capital which
has been raised. To date, sales have not been adequate to finance our operations
without investment capital. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company
issued 526,334 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants at an
aggregate exercise price of $333,800. Such warrants were exercised following
the
temporary reduction in the warrant exercise prices of all of the Company’s then
outstanding warrants by 40.0% effective immediately through and including June
2, 2008, which was extended until June 30, 2008. As of July 1, 2008, the warrant
exercise prices of the outstanding warrants returned to their original warrant
exercise prices.
During
the third quarter of 2008, the Company sold 800,095 shares of its common stock
at $0.70 per share to 15 investors for total gross proceeds of $560,066.50.
In
connection therewith, the investors were also issued a total of 400,047.5
warrants exercisable into shares of common stock at $1.20 per share. In
addition, $750,000 in financing was affected in 2007, and during the quarter
ended September 30, 2005, we issued 250,000 shares of our common stock to
certain accredited investors for aggregate proceeds of $250,000. In addition,
in
December 2005, we sold to BATL Bioenergy LLC 2,450,000 shares of the common
stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $2.00 per share for the aggregate purchase price of
$3,000,000. Also, in 2005, we received loans for working capital of an aggregate
of $115,000 from various parties. All loans were repaid in December 2005.
Since
the
end of the second quarter, 1,740,316 warrants with a total exercised value
of
$1,998,146 have expired. As of September 30, 2008, there were 2,670,000 warrants
outstanding with a total exercised value of $4,401,000. Such warrants have
exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.00. There can be no assurance that
any
of the warrants (160,000 of which expired on October 1, 2008) will be exercised
especially in view of the current market price of our common stock which is
less
than the exercise prices of the warrants. The foregoing does not include 400,054
warrants exercisable into shares of common stock at $1.20 per share issued
in
connection with the private offering effected during the third quarter of
2008.
We
anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to our
operations, that in addition to our current cash and cash equivalents together
with projected cash flows from operations and projected revenues we will require
additional investment to satisfy our contemplated cash requirements for the
next
12 months. No assurance can be made that we will be able to obtain such
investment on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our contemplated cash
requirements for the balance of 2008 and beyond will depend primarily upon
level
of sales of our products, inventory levels, product development, sales and
marketing expenditures and capital expenditures.
Other
than the remaining $1,000,000 balance of the Note Payable from the $3,000,000
for the purchase of the intellectual property and a small line of credit
collateralized with short term interest generating cash investments, we have
no
material commitments for capital requirements. Our continuation as a going
concern is contingent upon our ability to obtain this additional financing
and
to generate revenues and cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis.
As
mentioned above, management believes that sales revenues for 2007 and the first
nine months of 2008 were considerably less than earlier anticipated, primarily
due to circumstances which have been addressed and therefore should not reoccur
in the future. Management anticipates that sales should show significant
increases during 2009.

Significant
Accounting Policies
Business
and Basis of Presentation
EnerTeck
Corporation, formerly Gold Bond Resources, Inc. was incorporated under the
laws
of the State of Washington on July 30, 1935. On January 9, 2003, the Company
acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. ("EnerTeck Sub") as its wholly owned operating
subsidiary. As a result of the acquisition, the Company is now acting as a
holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as its only operating business. Subsequent
to
this transaction, on November 24, 2003, the Company changed its domicile from
the State of Washington to the State of Delaware, changed its name from Gold
Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation.
EnerTeck
Sub, the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary is a Houston-based
corporation. It was incorporated in the State of Texas on November 29, 2000
and
was formed for the purpose of commercializing a diesel fuel specific combustion
catalyst known as EnerBurn (TM), as well as other combustion enhancement and
emission reduction technologies for diesel fuel. EnerTeck’s primary product is
EnerBurn, and is registered for highway use in all USA diesel applications.
The
products are used primarily in on-road vehicles, locomotives and diesel marine
engines throughout the United States and select foreign markets.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EnerTeck Corporation
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EnerTeck Chemical Corp. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash and cash
equivalents.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of market ready EnerBurn plus raw materials required to manufacture
the
products. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, using the average
cost method. Also included in inventory are three large Hammonds EnerBurn doser
systems amounting to $57,000, which will be transferred to marine or railroad
customers during 2008. The Company’s remaining inventory was split on
approximately a 60/40 basis between raw materials and finished goods at December
31, 2007.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable represent uncollateralized obligations due from customers of the
Company and are recorded at net realizable value. This value includes an
appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss
anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision
for
doubtful accounts. The Company calculates this allowance based on historical
write-offs, level of past due accounts and relationships with and economic
status of the customers. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no
uncollectible accounts and no allowance has been provided.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation
is provided for on the straight-line or accelerated method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. The average lives range from five (5) to ten (10)
years. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of
the
property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred.
Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred.
13
Intangible
Assets
Intellectual
property and other intangibles are recorded at cost. The Company has determined
that its intellectual property has an indefinite life because there is no legal,
regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factor to limits its
useful life, and therefore will not be amortized. For other intangibles,
amortization would be computed on the straight-line method over the identifiable
lives of the assets. The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective
for periods beginning January 1, 2002, and thereafter. SFAS 142 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible
assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible
Assets.
Specifically, the statement addresses how intangible assets that are acquired
should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition, as
well
as how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they
have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The statement
requires the Company to evaluate its intellectual property each reporting period
to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite
life. In addition, the Company will test its intellectual property for
impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The statement requires
intangible assets with finite lives to be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may
not
be recoverable and that a loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount of
an
intangible exceeds its fair value. The Company tested its intangible assets
for
impairment as of December 31, 2007. It was determined at that time that no
impairment existed based primarily on projected sales and the resulting
discounted projected cash flow analyses.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company follows the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
104,“Revenue
Recognition”
which
was issued in December 2003, and recognizes revenues when evidence of a
completed transaction and customer acceptance exists, and when title passes,
if
applicable. SAB No. 104 codified, revised and rescinded certain sections of
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101,“Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements”,
in order
to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative
accounting guidance and SEC rules and regulations.
Revenues
from sales are recognized at the point when a customer order has been shipped
and invoiced.
Income
Taxes
The
Company will compute income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under
the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are
determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted
tax
rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred
tax
assets that, based on evidence from prior years, may not be realized over the
next calendar year or for some years thereafter.
Income
(Loss) Per Common Share
The
basic
net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss)
applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding.
Diluted
net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income
applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis,
by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive
securities. For 2007 and 2006, potential dilutive securities had an
anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net
loss per common share.
Management
Estimates and Assumptions
The
accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America which 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 revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Financial
Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments recorded on the balance sheet include cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and note payable. The
carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of
these items.
14
Stock
Options and Warrants
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company began recording compensation expense associated
with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment,
as
interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Prior to
January 1, 2006, EnerTeck had accounted for stock options according to
the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and
related interpretations, and therefore no related compensation expense was
recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. The Company adopted the
modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS No. 123R, and,
consequently, has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under
this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options
recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes the quarterly
amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option
awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. There
was
no unvested portion of stock options or warrants as of January 1,
2006.
