GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED)
 
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Ultronics Corporation  ( “the Company”)  was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 14, 1990 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other business combination with a domestic or foreign private business.  The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

On February 14, 2005 the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of General Environmental Management, Inc (“GEM”), a Delaware Corporation in exchange for 18,914,408 shares of its class A common stock and as a result GEM became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ultronics Corporation.

The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with GEM deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and Ultronics Corporation the legal acquirer.  Accordingly, the historical financial information presented in the financial statements is that of GEM as adjusted to give effect to any difference in the par value of the issuer’s and the accounting acquirer stock with an offset to capital in excess of par value.  The basis of the assets, liabilities and retained earnings of GEM, the accounting acquirer, have been carried over in the recapitalization.  Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company changed its name to General Environmental Management, Inc.

On January 29, 2007 a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held.  The shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.  The restated articles included the increase of the authorized number of shares of common stock to one billion, the increase of the authorized number of shares of preferred stock to 100,000,000; and of a one for thirty reverse stock split. Share and per share amounts have been restated to show the effects of the reverse stock split as if it occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with regard  to Regulation S-B and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments which, except, as described elsewhere herein, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the period presented. The financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

GOING CONCERN

The  accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $4,687,810 and utilized cash in operating activities of $1,046,595 during the nine  months  ended September 30, 2008, and as of September 30, 2008 the Company had current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1,108,837. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is continuing to raise capital through the issuance of debt and equity. In addition, management believes that the Company will begin to operate profitably due to increased size, improved operational results and cost cutting practices. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard or will be able to eliminate its working capital deficit or operating losses. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments which may be required as a result of this uncertainty.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)  Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions will also affect  the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ materially based on any changes in the estimates and assumptions that the Company uses in the preparation of its financial statements that are reviewed no less than annually.  Actual results could also differ materially from these estimates and assumptions due to changes in environmental-related regulations or future operational plans, and the inherent imprecision associated with estimating such future matters.

(b) Revenue Recognition.

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred  or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

The Company is a fully integrated environmental service firm structured to provide field services, technical services, transportation, off-site treatment, on-site treatment services, and environmental health and safety (“EHS”) compliance services.  We assist clients in meeting regulatory requirements from the designing   stage to the waste disposition stage. The technicians who provide these services are billed at negotiated rates, or the service is bundled into a service package.  These services are billed and revenue recognized when the service is performed and completed. When the service is billed, client costs are accumulated and accrued.

Our field services consist primarily of handling, packaging, and transporting a wide variety of liquid and solid wastes of varying amounts. We provide the fully trained labor and materials to properly package hazardous and non-hazardous waste according to requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation. Small quantities of laboratory chemicals are segregated according to hazard class and packaged into appropriate containers or drums. Packaged waste is profiled for acceptance at a client’s selected treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF) and tracked electronically through our systems. Once approved by the TSDF, we provide for the transportation of the waste utilizing tractor-trailers or bobtail trucks. The time between picking up the waste and transfer to an approved TSDF is usually less than 10 days.  The Company recognizes revenue for waste picked up and received waste at the time pick up or receipt occurs and recognizes the estimated cost of disposal in the same period. For the Company’s TSDF located in Rancho Cordova, CA, costs to dispose of waste materials located at the Company’s facilities are included in accrued disposal costs.  Due to the limited size of the facility, waste is held for only a short time before transfer to a final treatment, disposal or recycling facility.

(c) Concentrations

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables.  The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions.  However, cash balances have exceeded FDIC insured levels at various times.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk in cash.

The Company’s trade receivables result primarily from removal or transportation of waste, and the concentration of credit risk is limited to a broad customer base located throughout the Western United States.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, one customer accounted for 13% and 15.5% of revenues, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, one customer accounted for 9% and 25.6% of revenue. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 there was one customer that accounted for 6% and 25% of accounts receivable, respectively.

(d) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying statutory  tax  rates applicable to future years to the difference between the financial statement carrying  amounts and  the tax  bases of certain assets and liabilities.  Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities include the impact of any tax rate changes enacted during the year.
 
(e) Net Loss per Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS").  Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

These potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 because the Company incurred a loss during such periods and thus  their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share is the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

At September 30, 2008 and 2007, potentially dilutive securities consisted of convertible securities, outstanding common stock purchase warrants and stock options to acquire an aggregate of 16,233,735 shares and 9,312,594 shares, respectively.

(f) Stock Compensation Costs

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.  The Company accounts  for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF No. 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

(g)  Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications from accrued disposal costs to accrued expenses have been made to 2007 financial statement amounts to conform to the 2008 presentation.

(h) Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB finalized FASB Staff Position (FSP) No.157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This Staff Position delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(i) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business.  Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Earlier adoption is prohibited.
 
10


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”.  SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently.  SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Earlier adoption is prohibited.  SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements.  The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133,  “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

The Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 
3. ACQUISITIONS
 
On August 31, 2008, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Island Environmental Services, Inc. of Pomona, California ("Island"), a privately held company, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Island, a California-based provider of hazardous and non-hazardous waste removal and remediation services to a variety of private and public sector establishments. In consideration of the acquisition of the issued and outstanding common stock of Island, the Company paid $2.25 million in cash to the stockholders of Island and issued $1.25 million in three year promissory notes (“Notes”).  Other consideration is payable based on the performance of the acquired entity.  The Notes bear interest at 8%, payable quarterly, and the entire principal is due 36 months after closing. As a result of the agreement, Island becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The purchase price was allocated based upon the fair market values at the date of purchase as follows:
 
Current assets and liabilities
    846,197  
Property and Equipment

On March 3, 2006, General Environmental Management, Inc. entered into an agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. dated as of February 28, 2006, whereby the Company issued to Laurus a secured convertible term note ("Note") in the principal amount of $2.0 million and a Secured Non-Convertible Revolving Note (“Revolving Note”) of up to $5.0 million.  On October 31, 2007, General Environmental Management, Inc entered into an agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.

(i). Under terms of the initial agreement, the principal amount of the Note carried an interest rate of prime plus three and one half percent, subject to adjustment, and such interest was payable monthly.

(ii). The revolving note allowed the Company to borrow a maximum amount of $5,000,000, based on a borrowing base of 90% of all eligible receivables, which were primarily accounts receivables under 90 days. The interest rate on this line of credit was in the amount of prime plus 3.5%, but in no event less than 8% per annum.   As of December 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $ $4,194,771 against the Revolving Note.

(iii). The principal amount of the $1,250,000 Valens Notes and accrued interest thereon was convertible into shares of its common stock at a price of $2.78 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. Under the terms of the Note, monthly principal payment amount of approximately $30,303, plus the monthly interest payment (together, the "Monthly Payment"), was payable in either cash or, if certain criteria were met, including the effectiveness of a current registration statement covering the shares of its common stock into which the Note is convertible, through the issuance of its common stock. Valens and Valens US had the option to convert the entire principal amount of the Note, together with interest thereon, into shares of its common stock, provided that such conversion did not result in Valens and Valens US beneficially owning at any one time more than 9.99% of its outstanding shares of common stock. The balance outstanding under these notes at December 31, 2007 was $1,245,210.

The Notes were secured by all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its direct subsidiary, General Environmental Management, Inc.

In connection with the above financings, the Company paid to Laurus closing fees of $326,193, and issued to Laurus 1,099,994 warrants initially valued in the aggregate at $2,000,243, and determined the aggregate benefical conversion feature of the convertible notes to be $1,368,397. The closing fees, the value of the warrants and the calculated beneficial conversion feature was reflected by the Company as a valuation discount and offset to the face amount of the Notes, and was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan based upon the effective interest method.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 the Company amortized $1,166,968 and $612,405 of this amount which is included in interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations.  Unamortized valuation discount was $2,042,191 as of December 31, 2007. The remaining balance of the valuation discount was fully amortized in September 2008 as part of the new financing agreement with CVC California described below.

In conjunction with the above financings, the Company also incurred fees to various investment advisors that facilitated the transaction, including the issuance of shares of our common stock and issuance of warrants. The fees paid to the finders and the value of the warrants issued to the finders were reflected as deferred financing costs in the accompanying balance sheet and were amortized over the life of the loan.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 the Company amortized $394,082 and $187,416, respectively,  which is included in interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations.  Unamortized deferred financing fees were $394,082 as of December 31, 2007.

(b) Note Agreements with CVC California

On September 4, 2008 General Environmental Management, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a series of agreements with CVC California, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CVC”), each dated as of August 31, 2008, whereby the Company issued to CVC (i) a secured convertible term note ("Note") in the principal amount of $6.5 million and (ii) a secured non-convertible revolving credit note ("Revolving Note") of up to $7.0 million; (iii) 6 year warrants  to purchase 1,350,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.60 per share; (iv) 6 year warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.19 per share; and, (v) 6 year warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.25 per share.   The principal amount of the Note carries an interest rate of nine and one half percent, subject to adjustment, with interest payable monthly commencing October 1, 2008. The Note further provides that commencing on April 1, 2009, the Company will make monthly principal payments in the amount of $135,416. Although the stated principal amount of the Term Loan was $6,500,000, the Lender was only required to fund $5,000,000 with  the difference being treated as a discount to the note.

(i). The principal amount of the Note and accrued interest thereon is convertible into shares of our common stock  at a price of $3.00 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. Under the terms of the Note, the monthly principal payment amount of approximately $135,416 plus the monthly interest payment  (together, the "Monthly Payment"), is payable in either cash or, if certain criteria are met, including the effectiveness of a current registration statement covering the shares of our common stock into which the Note is convertible, through the issuance of our common stock. The Company has agreed to register all of the shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Note and exercise of warrants. As of September 30, 2008 the Company had an outstanding balance of $6,500,000.

(ii). The revolving note allows the Company to borrow a maximum amount of $7,000,000, based on a borrowing base of 90% of all eligible receivables, which are primarily accounts receivables under 90 days. The interest rate on this line of credit is in the amount of prime plus 2.0%, but in no event less than 7% per annum. The Revolving Note is secured by all assets of the Company and is subject to the same security agreement as discussed in (e) above. The note is due August 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2008 the Company had an outstanding balance of $6,330,202.

The Notes are secured by all of our assets and the assets of our direct subsidiary, General Environmental Management, Inc. (Delaware) and its direct subsidiaries, General Environmental Management of Rancho Cordova LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (including the real property owned by General Environmental Management of Rancho Cordova LLC), GEM Mobile Treatment Services Inc., Island Environmental Services, Inc. as well as by a pledge of the equity interests of General Environmental Management, Inc. (Delaware), General Environmental Management of Rancho Cordova LLC, GEM Mobile Treatment Services Inc. and Island Environmental Services, Inc.

In connection with the CVC financing, the Company paid closing fees of $405,000 and  issued warrants to acquire an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock as described above to CVC.  The Company calculated that the fair value of the warrants issued was $1,674,035, based upon the relative value of the Black Scholes valuation of the warrants and the underlying debt amount.  For the Black Scholes calculation, the Company assumed no dividend yield, a risk free interest rate of 4.78%, expected volatility of 78.57 % and an expected term for the warrants of 7 years. The relative value of the warrants of $1,674,035 and the $1,500,000 discount on issuance has been reflected by the Company as a valuation discount at issuance and offset to the face amount of the Notes.  The Valuation discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan based upon the effective interest method. Unamortized valuation discount was $3,479,618 at September 30, 2008.

The Company also incurred expenses of approximately $100,000 to various professional firms as reimbursement for CVC's due diligence and legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction.  The aggregate amount of these costs have been reflected as deferred financing fees and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan based upon the effective interest method.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $39,249,686 expiring in various years through 2025, which can be used to offset future taxable income, if any. No deferred asset benefit for these operating losses has been recognized in the financial statements due  to the uncertainty as to their realizability in future periods.

As a result of the Company's significant operating loss carryforward and the corresponding valuation allowance, no income tax expense (benefit) has been recorded at September 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of September 30, 2008, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax uncertainties.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2002. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs and tax credit carry forwards may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2008 the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

OVERVIEW

Ultronics Corporation (Ultronics) was a non-operating company formed for the purpose of evaluating opportunities to acquire an operating company.  On February 14, 2005 Ultronics acquired General Environmental Management, Inc. through a reverse merger between Ultronics Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ultronics and General Environmental Management, Inc., whereby General Environmental Management, Inc. (GEM) was the surviving entity.

The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with GEM deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and Ultronics Corporation the legal acquirer.  Accordingly, the historical financial information presented in the financial statements is that of GEM as adjusted to give effect to any difference in the par value of the issuer’s and the accounting acquirer stock with an offset to capital in excess of par value.  The basis of the assets, liabilities and retained earnings of GEM, the accounting acquirer, have been carried over in the recapitalization.  Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company changed its name to General Environmental Management, Inc. GEM is a fully integrated environmental service firm structured to provide EHS compliance services, field services, transportation, off-site treatment, and on-site treatment services.  Through its services GEM assists clients in meeting regulatory requirements for the disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.  GEM provides its clients with access to GEMWare, an internet based software program that allows clients to maintain oversight of their waste from the time it leaves their physical control until final disposition by recycling, destruction, or landfill.  The GEM business model is to grow both organically and through acquisitions.

During 2003 and 2004 GEM acquired the assets of Envectra, Inc., Prime Environmental Services, Inc. (Prime) and 100% of the membership interest in Pollution Control Industries of California, LLC, now named General Environmental Management of Rancho Cordova, LLC.  The assets of Envectra, Inc. included an internet based integrated environmental management software now marketed by the Company as GEMWare.  The acquisition of the assets of Prime resulted in a significant increase in the revenue stream of the company and a presence in the Washington State and Alaska markets through Prime’s Seattle office.  All Prime services are now offered under the GEM name.  The primary asset of Pollution Control Industries of California, LLC was a fully permitted Part B Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (TSDF) in Rancho Cordova, California.  The facility provides waste management services to field service companies and allows the Company to bulk and consolidate waste into larger more cost effective containers for outbound disposal.

During 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with K2M Mobile Treatment Services, Inc. of Long Beach, California ("K2M"), a privately held company, pursuant to which the Company  acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of K2M. K2M is a California-based provider of mobile wastewater treatment and vapor recovery services. Subsequent to the acquisition in March 2006, the Company opened a vapor recovery service division in Houston, Texas and will be looking to expand its operations in the Gulf coast area.

On August 31, 2008, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Island Environmental Services, Inc. of Pomona, California ("Island"), a privately held company, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Island, a California-based provider of hazardous and non-hazardous waste removal and remediation services to a variety of private and public sector establishments.

COMPARISON OF THREE  MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER  30, 2008 AND 2007

Revenues

Total revenues were $8,630,972 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, representing an increase of $75,141 or .9% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase in revenue can be attributed to increased revenue for GEM’s mobile treatment business offset by a decrease in revenues in the Enviroconstruction market sector.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $6,860,275 or 79.5% of revenue, as compared to $6,878,235 or 80% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The cost of revenues includes disposal costs, transportation, fuel, outside labor and operating supplies. The change in the cost of revenue in comparison to the prior year is primarily due to implementation of additional operating cost controls in the third quarter.
 
Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $1,845,179 or 21.3% of revenue as compared to $3,034,039 or 35.5% of revenue for the same period in 2007. Operating expenses include sales and administrative salaries and benefits, insurance, rent, legal, accounting and other professional fees. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributable to a reduction in general expenses over the last nine months.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $360,765 or 4.1% of revenue, as compared to $196,199 or 2.3% of revenue for the same period in 2007. The increase in expense is due to additions to property, plant and equipment and increase of assets acquired under capitalized leases.

Interest and financing costs

Interest and financing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $2,087,673 or 24.1% of revenue, as compared to $574,998 or 6.7% of revenue for the same period in 2007.  Interest expense consists of interest on the line of credit, short and long term borrowings, and advances to related parties.  It also includes amortization of deferred finance fees and amortization of valuation discounts generated from beneficial conversion features related to the fair value of warrants and conversion features of long term debt.  The increase in interest expense is due to higher costs of amortization of valuation discounts generated from conversion features of warrants and long term debt and the refinancing described in section 6.
 
25


Other Non-Operating Income

The Company had other non-operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 of $18,480 or 0.21 % of  revenue, and $25,329  or .3% of revenue for the same period in 2007.  Non-Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 consisted of continuing rental income from the lease of warehouse space in Kent, Washington. The lease in Rancho Cordova which accounted for the majority of the 2007 non- operating income was terminated in July 2007.
 
Net Loss

The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $2,137,593 or 24.7% of revenue as compared to a loss of $5,085,197, or 59.4% of revenue for the same period in 2007.  The reduced loss is attributable to reductions in operating expenses over the last nine months and less non-cash charges related to convertible debt instruments issued in 2007.
 
COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007
 
Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company reported consolidated revenue of $24,989,210 representing an increase of $3,574,167 or 16.7 % compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase in revenue can be attributed to organic growth of the base business and an increase in revenues attributable to GEM’s mobile treatment services.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $20,327,989 or 81.3 % of revenue, as compared to $17,023,247 or 79.5 % of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The cost of revenue includes disposal costs, transportation, fuel, outside labor and operating supplies. The change in the cost of revenue in comparison to the prior year is primarily due to higher volumes and an increase in costs attributable to fuel related expenses.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $5,651,106 or 22.6% of  revenue  as compared to $ 10,782,081 or 50.3% of revenue for the same period in 2007.  Operating expenses include  sales and administrative salaries and benefits, insurance, rent, legal and accounting and other professional fees. The decrease in operation expenses is primarily attributable to general expense reductions made in late 2007 and a decrease in non-cash charges for consulting and advisory fees of $2,294,104.
 
26

 
Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $827,861 or 3.3% of revenue, as compared to $559,525 or 2.6% of revenue for the same period in 2007. The increase in expense is due to additions to property, plant and equipment and increase of assets acquired under capitalized leases.
 
Interest and financing costs

Interest and financing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $3,748,992 or 15% of revenue, as compared to $ 1,815,131 or 8.5% of revenue for the same period in 2007.  Interest expense consists of interest on the line of credit, short and long term borrowings, and advances to related parties.  It also includes amortization of deferred finance fees and amortization of valuation discounts generated from beneficial conversion features related to the fair value of warrants and conversion features of long term debt. The increase in interest expense is due to additional costs of amortization of valuation discounts and deferred fees related to the August 31, 2008 refinancing with CVC California, LLC.
 
Other Non-Operating Income

The Company had other non-operating income for the nine   months ended September 30, 2008 of $35,173, or .14% of revenue, and $93,568 or .43% for the same period in 2007. Non-Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 consisted of continuing rental income from the lease of warehouse space in Kent, Washington. The lease in Rancho Cordova which accounted for the majority of the 2007 non- operating income was terminated in July 2007.

Net Loss

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $4,687,810, or 18.7% of revenue as compared to a loss of $14,819,205, or 69.1% of revenue for the same period in 2007. The reduced loss is attributable to reductions in operating expenses over the last nine months and less non-cash charges related to advisory fees and convertible debt instruments issued in 2007.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating, investing, and financing activities.  Net cash used in operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $156,806 as compared to $2,154,455 for the same period in 2007.  Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,046,595 as compared to $3,815,017 for the same period in 2007.
 
27


Liquidity

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern.  The Company incurred a net loss of $4,687,810 and utilized cash in operating activities of $1,046,595 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008 the Company had current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1,108,837. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is continuing to raise capital through the issuance of debt and equity and believes it will be able to raise sufficient capital over the next twelve months to finance operations. In addition, management believes that the company will begin to operate profitably due to improved operational results and cost reductions   made in late 2007.  However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard or will be able to maintain its working capital surplus or eliminate operating losses.  The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments which may be required as a result of this uncertainty.

The Company’s capital requirements consist of general working capital needs, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, obligations, and capital expenditures.  The Company’s capital resources consist primarily of cash generated from operations and proceeds from issuances of debt and common stock.  The Company’s capital resources are impacted by changes in accounts receivable as a result of revenue fluctuations, economic trends and collection activities.
 
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008

Operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 used $1,046,595 in cash. Accounts receivable, net of allowances for bad debts, were reduced by $1,365,335 as of September 30, 2008 and accounts payable were reduced by $1,477,501.  Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $827,861. The net loss of $4,687,810 included a number of non-cash expenses incurred by the Company including $410,127 representing amortization of deferred financing fees. Prepaid expenses increased by $264,700 primarily due to insurance premiums that will be amortized in 2008. Accrued expenses were reduced by $256,861.

The Company used cash for investment in plant, property and equipment and deposits totaling approximately $2,440,946 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Capital expenditures increased due to the acquisition of Island Environmental and the issuance of capital lease obligations for the expansion of our transportation assets. Financing activities provided $3,137,486 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily from the new financing agreement with CVC California, LLC.

These activities resulted in a $350,055 reduction in cash balances from year end December 31, 2007 to the end of the quarter September 30, 2008.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  The following are the areas that we believe require the greatest amount of estimates in the preparation of our financial statements: allowances for doubtful accounts, impairment testing and accruals for disposal costs for waste received at our TSDF.
 
28


(a) Allowance for doubtful accounts

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for accounts receivable that may not be collectible. In establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts, we analyze specific past due accounts and analyze historical trends in bad debts.  In addition, we take into account current economic conditions.  Actual accounts receivable written off in subsequent periods can differ materially from the allowance for doubtful accounts provided.

(b) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, established guidelines regarding when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, should be recognized and how impairment losses should be measured.  This statement also provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale.  The Company periodically reviews, at least annually, such assets for possible impairment and expected losses. If any losses are determined to exist they are recorded in the period when such impairment is determined.
 
(c) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

The Company is a fully integrated environmental service firm structured to provide field services, technical services, transportation, off-site treatment, on-site treatment services, and environmental health and safety (“EHS”) compliance services.  Through our services, we assist clients in meeting regulatory requirements from the designing stage to the waste disposition stage. The technicians who provide these services are billed at negotiated rates, or the service is bundled into a service package.  These services are billed and revenue recognized when the service is performed and completed. When the service is billed, expected costs are accumulated and accrued.

Our field services consist primarily of handling, packaging, and transporting a wide variety of liquid and solid wastes of varying amounts. We provide the fully trained labor and materials to properly package hazardous  and non-hazardous waste according to requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation. Small quantities of laboratory chemicals are segregated according to hazard class and packaged into appropriate containers or drums. Packaged waste is profiled for acceptance at a client’s selected treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF) and tracked electronically through our systems. Once approved by the TSDF, we provide for the transportation of the waste utilizing tractor-trailers or bobtail trucks. The time between picking up the waste and transfer to an approved TSDF is usually less than 10 days.  The Company recognizes revenue for waste picked up and received waste at the time pick up or receipt occurs and recognizes the estimated cost of disposal in the same period. For the Company’s TSDF located in Rancho Cordova, CA, costs to dispose of waste materials located at the Company’s facilities are included in accrued disposal costs.  Due to the limited size of the facility, waste is held for only a short time before transfer to a final treatment, disposal or recycling facility. Revenue is recognized on contracts with retainage when services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). —an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of September 30, 2008, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2002. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs and tax credit carry forwards may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133,  “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business.  Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Earlier adoption is prohibited.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”.  SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently.  SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Earlier adoption is prohibited.  SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements.  The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of  September 30, 2008. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO, Mr. Tim Koziol and our CFO, Mr. Brett Clark. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
