PART I

ITEM 1.  Description of Business

Company Background

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as Ultronics Corporation (the “UC”) under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 14, 1990. UC never had operations and was formed to investigate potential companies that would be interested in merging with it.

On December 21, 2004, UC formed a subsidiary, Ultronics Acquisition Corporation (“UAC”) for the purpose of facilitating an agreement and plan of merger. UAC was incorporated in the State of Nevada. On December 23, 2004, UC, UAC and General Environmental Management, Inc. (“GEM”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger whereby UAC would be merged into GEM (“Merger”) with GEM to be the surviving corporation. On February 14, 2005, a Certificate of Merger was filed in Delaware; however, there is no evidence of a Certificate of Merger being filed in Nevada. As such, GEM did not cease to exist in Nevada.

The acquisition was treated as a reverse merger with GEM deemed to be the accounting acquiror, and UAC the legal acquiror. UAC’s name was changed to General Environmental Management, Inc. (the “Company”) on March 16, 2005. On March 10, 2006, the Company entered into an 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.

On August 31, 2008, The Company entered into an 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.

On November 6, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“CLW Agreement”) with United States Environmental Response, LLC, a California limited liability company pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of California Living Waters, Incorporated (“CLW”), a privately held company.  CLW owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Santa Clara Waste Water Company (“SCWW”) a California corporation. CLW's only operating subsidiary is SCWW.

On November 25, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement with Luntz Acquisition (Delaware), LLC. (“Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company sold to Luntz all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company's primary operating subsidiaries for cash (the “Sale”). On February 26, 2010, after approval of the transaction by the Company’s shareholders at a special meeting held on February 19, 2010, the Company completed the sale of the entities created out of GEM DE. The net cash proceeds from the transaction were used by the Company to retire senior debt and other obligations of the Company. The Company was not merged out of Nevada pursuant to this transaction.

Subsequent to the Luntz transaction, the Company’s revenues and expenses, operations, assets and liabilities were discontinued from February 2010 until January 2021.

On March 19, 2019, Small Cap Compliance, LLC was awarded custodianship of the Company by the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada. On May 19, 2019, the Company was revived in Nevada. On May 30, 2019, the custodian filed an Amendment to the Designations of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares of the Company, and filed a Custodian’s Certification of Amendment certifying the same.

On January 15, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion from a Non-Delaware Corporation to a Delaware Corporation, and the associated Certificate of Incorporation, to become a corporation in Delaware. Delaware recognized this domestication of the Company.

On March 31, 2021, the Company formed General Entertainment Ventures, Inc. (“GEVI”) in Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purpose of the formation of GEVI was to merge the Company into GEVI pursuant to Section 251(g) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

On April 10, 2021, after approval by the board of directors and shareholders of the Company, the Company was merged into GEVI pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of the same date. GEVI is the accounting and legal acquiror of the Company.

On June 3, 2021, after approval by the board of directors and shareholders of the Company, the Company was redomiciled to the State of Wyoming.

On October 11, 2021, after approval by the board of directors and shareholders of the Company, the Company was renamed General Enterprise Ventures, Inc., in the State of Wyoming.

Because the Company was dormant from the period from February 2010 through January 2021, the Company used the following methodology to prepare its financial statements. All assets on the Company’s March 31, 2010 balance were deemed disposed of to a related party for no value for the quarter beginning April 1, 2010. All Company activities at that time became discontinued operations with the exception of accrued interest recorded on outstanding debt. All liabilities outstanding as of March 31, 2010 remained on the Company’s balance sheet accruing interest until the quarter ending March 31, 2017 when they were written off due to the expiration of the Statue of Limitations.

ITEM 8.  Financial Statements

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc.:

We were engaged to audit the accompanying balance sheets of General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. As described in the following paragraph, because the Company’s records were not sufficient, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the financial statements, and we do not express, an opinion on these financial statements.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Disclaimer Opinion:

We were not engaged as auditors of the Company until February of 2023 at which time much of the audit evidence necessary to provide a basis for an audit opinion had been destroyed or lost. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by other audit procedures concerning the assets and liabilities held at December 31, 2010 and 2009, as well as the revenues and expenses recognized for the year then ended. As a result of these matters, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been found necessary in respect of recorded or unrecorded assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer Opinion paragraph above, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on these financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

General Enterprise Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as Ultronics Corporation (the “UC”) under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 14, 1990. UC never had operations and was formed to investigate potential companies that would be interested in merging with it.

The Company’s year-end is December 31st

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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.

Because the Company was dormant from the period from February 2010 through January 2021, the Company used the following methodology to prepare its financial statements. All assets on the Company’s March 31, 2010 balance were deemed disposed of for no value to a related party for the quarter beginning April 1, 2010. All Company activities at that time became discontinued operations with the exception of accrued interest recorded on outstanding debt. All liabilities outstanding as of March 31, 2010 remained on the Company’s balance sheet accruing interest until the quarter ending March 31, 2017 when they were written off due to the expiration of the Statue of Limitations.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company utilized cash in operations of $0- for the year ended December 31, 2013 and as of December 31, 2013 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $28,971,608 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $97,376,990. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company will also research technological opportunities in the waste-to-energy (W-T-E) marketplace as a further resource for our non-hazardous waste water treatment facilities.  A W-T-E solution for managing the treating waste provides a significant advantage for generators of the waste, the environment, and the Company.

The Company will continue to develop SCWW as the foundation of our core business in the non-hazardous waste water treatment sector.  We intend to do this through internal growth by offering SCWW’s integrated solution for generators of non-hazardous waste water and by making strategic acquisitions of non-hazardous waste water treatment companies.

(a)  Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of General Enterprise Ventures Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, General Environmental Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Island Environmental Services, Inc., a California corporation, General Environmental Management of Rancho Cordova, LLC and California Living Waters Inc. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(b)  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 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.

(c)  Revenue Recognition

The Company's business activities include providing wastewater treatment for companies and haulers in Ventura County, California, and in adjacent counties. The Company recognizes revenue at the time its customers unload untreated wastewater at the Company's facility. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, the Company records the estimated costs to treat and dispose of the wastewater on hand.

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.

(d)  Concentrations of Credit Risks

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.

(e)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements are adopted by the Company based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board , with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities as permitted. The adoption based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board did not have a material impact on the Company's fair value measurements. Based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2- Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3- Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions.

FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

(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.  Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.  Options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date.

(g) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted earnings per share calculation give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method for warrants and options and the if-converted method for convertible debentures.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted.  Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance.  We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance on improving disclosures about fair value measurements to add new disclosure requirements for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and to provide a gross presentation of the activities within the Level 3 roll-forward.   The guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to present the Level 3 roll-forward on a gross basis, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance was limited to the form and content of disclosures, and will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements .

Advances from Related Parties

During 2008, General Pacific Partners  (“GPP”), a company operated by a prior member of the Board of Directors of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, General Environmental Management, Inc. of Delaware, made two unsecured advances to the Company totaling $472,500. The rate of interest on the advances was 10% per annum.  As of December 31, 2009, $534,129 was outstanding under this advance (including accrued interest of $61,719). In 2008, GPP also provided certain financing services for which the Company agreed to pay GPP $250,000. The balance due to GPP for these services was $100,000 as of December 31, 2009. During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, General Pacific Partners agreed to convert $575,000 of the indebtedness to GPP into 1,437,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The shares issued to GPP were valued at $273,125 based upon the trading price of the shares at the date of the agreement, resulting in a gain to the Company of $301,875. As of March 31, 2010, the remaining balance due to GPP was $69,226.

During the year ended December 31, 2009 a related individual made an unsecured advance with no formal terms of repayment to the Company totaling $115,000. The proceeds were used for working capital purposes. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the balance due on the advance was $97,500  and $97,500, respectively.

Due to Officers and Directors

Commensurate with the closing of the sale to Luntz (see Note 4), certain officers and directors were granted a bonus $765,000 which is outstanding as of December 31, 2013.

During the period 2008 through 2009, the Company entered into a series of financings with CVC California, LLC (“CVC”). The amounts due under these financings at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Note Agreements with CVC California

On September 4, 2009, the Company entered into a series of agreements with CVC that amended these agreements, including an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note, an Amended and Restated Convertible Term Note, a new Term Note, and Amended and Restated Warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, (the "Amended Agreement") dated as of September 4, 2009 the Company issued to CVC:

(i) an Amended and Restated secured convertible term note (“ Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $6,314,700. The principal amount of the Convertible Note bears an interest rate of fourteen percent, subject to adjustment, with interest payable monthly commencing November 1, 2009. The principal of the convertible Note is payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, (i) in seven (7) equal monthly installments of $138,000 each, due and payable on the first day of each calendar month commencing December 1, 2009 and continuing through and including June 1, 2010, and (ii) a final installment due and payable on December 31, 2010 in an amount equal to the entire remaining principal balance of this note.  In the event of a prepayment of the Convertible Note, the Company must pay a prepayment premium in an amount equal to ( a ) two (2%) percent of the principal amount being prepaid if the prepayment is made on or prior to February 28, 2010, and (b) one (1%) percent of the principal amount being prepaid if such prepayment is made subsequent to February 28, 2010 and prior to August 1, 2011, unless the prepayment is  made with the proceeds received from the sale of any business unit or units of the Company.  The balance of the note outstanding at December 31, 2009 was $6,314,700. The note was paid in full on February 26, 2010 with the  proceed from the sale of GEM Delaware (see Note 4).

The principal amount of the Convertible Note and accrued interest thereon due CVC was convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.60 per share, subject to certain adjustments.  The convertible feature gave rise to a derivative liability that was valued at $896,542 at December 31, 2009. Concurrent with the extinguishment of the convertible note, the derivative liability was extinguished and a gain of $896,542 was recorded.

(ii) an Amended and Restated Secured Non-convertible Revolving Credit Note in the principal amount of up to $1.7 million (the " Revolving Note").  The principal amount of the Revolving Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable on demand (or, in the absence of demand, on August 31, 2011, or sooner by reason of an Event of Default or other mandatory prepayment event. The balance of the note outstanding at December 31, and December 31, 2009 was $1,177,027 and $1,700,000, respectively.

The Amended and restated Secured Non-convertible Revolving Credit Note was amended on November 25, 2009 with an Overadvance Note in the amount of $1,190,357.The principal amount of the Overadvance Note bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum and is payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on August 31, 2011, or sooner by reason of an Event of Default or other mandatory prepayment event.  The balance of the Overadvance Note outstanding at December 31, 2009 was $1,043,665.  The overadvance note was paid in full with the proceeds from the sale of GEM Delaware (see Note 4).

In connection with the Convertible Note and the Amended and restated Secured Non-convertible Revolving Credit Note, the Company had granted to CVC a Warrant to purchase Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand (2,700,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, for cash at a price of $0.01 per share.  The Company had previously determined that as the exercise price of the warrant contained reset provisions, the warrant was characterized as a derivative liability at December 31, 2009 in accordance with authorative guidance issued by FASB. Concurrent with the payoff of these notes, the warrant was converted to common shares and the derivative liability was extinguished (see Note 10).

(iii) a Term Note (“Term Note ”) in the principal amount of  $5.6 million. The principal amount of the Term Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is payable as follows: on the first day of each calendar month commencing October 1, 2009 through and including August 1, 2010, accrued Interest on the outstanding principal shall be due and payable.  Thereafter, principal and interest is payable in thirty-six (36) consecutive equal monthly installments of principal and interest of $174,321.50 each, with the first installment due and payable on September 1, 2010, and with subsequent installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month thereafter through and including August 1, 2013.  There is no pre-payment penalty in the event of a pre-payment. The balance of the Term Note outstanding at December 31, 2011 was $5,600,000.

On August 17, 2009, the Company had entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with MTS Acquisition Company ("MTS"), pursuant to which the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding common stock of GEM Mobile Treatment Services, Inc. (“GEM MTS”). Consideration for the sale of GEM MTS was in the form of a promissory note (“the MTS Note") in the aggregate amount of $5.6 million, (payable on the same dates and terms as the Term Note), the assignment of approximately $1.0 million of accounts payable and possible future royalties.  The consideration was immediately assigned to CVC.  As the MTS Note is paid to CVC by MTS, the Company's indebtedness to CVC will be reduced.

Following the Closing of the sale of GEM Delaware and the payoff of the notes to CVC, the Revolving Credit Note was amended and restated so as to provide for (a) the reduced principal balance (after giving effect to the payment described above), (b) the elimination of any right to further Advances; (c) interest on the principal balance from time to time to be paid monthly in arrears as currently provided in the Revolving Credit Note, and (d) principal to be payable (i) as, when and to the extent that payments are received by GEM under the Royalty Provisions, (ii) from amounts paid to or in respect of the Borrower under Section 10.12 of the GEM MTS Purchase Agreement or otherwise in respect of the $900,000 deposit in the Union Bank trust account, and (iii) to the extent not theretofore paid, any remaining balance of the amended and restated Revolving Credit Note shall be due and payable on demand (or, if no demand is earlier made, then on March 1, 2011).  (Other than as stated herein, the Revolving Credit Note shall remain unchanged and shall remain in full force and effect.)  In furtherance of the foregoing, immediately after the Closing, GEM gave irrevocable written instructions to MTS Acquisition Company, Inc. (“MTS”) to remit all payments on the Purchase Money Note and pursuant to the Royalty Provisions directly to CVC, until otherwise instructed in writing by the CVC, and (B) GEM gave irrevocable written instructions to PSC to remit all amounts payable under Section 10.12 of the Purchase Agreement directly to CVC; and GEM shall not agree to any amendment of Section 10.12 of the Purchase Agreement or waive any required performance there-under without the Lender’s prior written consent.  To the extent that, at any time, CVC shall have received payment in full of the amended and restated Revolving Credit Note and all other Obligations pursuant to the direct payments contemplated in the preceding sentence or otherwise, then CVC shall promptly (x) remit any excess amounts collected to GEM, and (y) give written notice to MTS and/or PSC (as applicable) that payments that would otherwise thereafter be made to CVC as aforesaid shall instead be paid directly to GEM or whomever else shall be entitled thereto.  The balance of the revolving credit note was $1,177,027 at December 31, 2013.

Valuation Discount and Modification of Debt

In connection with the CVC financing and subsequent modifications, the Company had recorded valuation discounts against the notes relating to closing fees paid, relative value of warrants issued and the conversion features of the notes.  The note discount was  $2,196,585 as of December 31, 2009.   During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company amortized $382,646 of the note discount until February 26, 2010, and recorded a charge of $1,813,939 to remove the discount when the debt was retired.

The above loans are subject to certain covenants with the senior lender, National Bank of California.  The affirmative covenants apply to the financial results of the Company’s subsidiary, SCWW, and include certain ratio requirements such as current ratio, Debt / Worth ratio and debt service.  At December 31, 2009, SCWW was not in compliance with certain of these covenants, and as such, the notes are in default. The company is currently in discussions to resolve the default, and has classified the notes as current in the accompanying March 31, 2010 balance sheet.

(b) On August 31, 2008, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Island Environmental. As part of the consideration for the purchase, the Company issued two three year promissory notes totaling $1.25 million.  The first note is payable to the former owners in the amount of $1,062,500.  The second note is payable to NCF Charitable Trust in the amount of $187,500.  The notes bear interest at eight percent (8%) with the entire balance of interest and principal payable August 31, 2011.  In conjunction with the revision to the agreements with CVC described in Note 7 an amendment to these notes was executed that all interest payments and principal payments due pursuant to the notes were deferred until August 31, 2011.

(c) During the period March 4, 2004 through June 22, 2004, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with several investors to provide the funding necessary for the purchase of the Transfer Storage Disposal Facility (TSDF) located in Rancho Cordova, California.  The notes were secured by the TSDF, carried an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, and principal and interest are convertible at $30.00 per share into common stock.  In addition, the note holders were issued warrants to purchase common stock.  The notes were initially due December 31, 2009, but were extended to September 30, 2011.   As of December 31, 2008, notes payable of $422,500 plus accrued interest of $67,105 remained outstanding. 

On July 1, 2009 three note holders entered into new promissory note agreements that replaced in full the principal of the Loan and Security Agreement dated June 1, 2004. The notes are unsecured and carry an interest rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The principal of the notes is due December 31, 2011.

On August 1, 2009 accrued interest of $168,528 was converted into 485,150 shares of common stock. As an incentive to convert the accrued interest into shares of the Company's common stock, the Board of Directors awarded 663,814 fully vested warrants to purchase common stock of the Company to the three convertible note holders. The warrants are exercisable at $0.52 per share and have a forty (40) month term. The value of these warrants was calculated at $231,140 and included in the statement of operations for the year ending December 31, 2009 as a cost to induce conversion.  For the Black Scholes calculation, the Company assumed no dividend yield, a risk free interest rate of 1.72 % and expected volatility of 104.54 %.   As of December 31, 2009, notes payable of $500,000 and accrued interest of $21,252 remained outstanding.

(e) An unsecured four-year note, bearing interest at 15%, payable in monthly installments of $6,130, including interest. This note is subordinated to the National Bank of California notes.

(f) Note payable relating to the purchase of equipment. The note bears interest at 10.88% per annum, payable in 36 monthly installments of principal and interest at $2,456. This obligation is subordinated at the National Bank of California notes.

(g) An unsecured four-year note, bearing interest at 15%, payable in monthly installments of $6,130, including interest. This note is subordinated to the National Bank of California notes.

(h) The Company has two notes payable that are subordinated to the notes payable to National Bank of California. The subordinated Notes Payable consists of the following at December 31, 2013:

(i) The Wiker Trust obligation is interest only, bearing interest at 7.75% per annum, due August 1, 2012. This is an unsecured note that is subordinated to the National Bank of California notes. The Wiker Trust is a charitable remainder trust who made the initial loan to the Company in order to fund the acquisition of SCWW in 2004.  The CEO of SCWW is a trustee of the Wiker Trust.

(ii) The United States Environmental  Response (“USER”) note, formerly held by Aqua de Oro, is a four year note, bearing interest at 7.75%, payable in monthly installments of $6,458 for 7 years, with all remaining principal and interest due on July 31, 2011. The CEO of SCWW is the President of USER. The balance due represents funds paid by Company to the court appointed disbursing agent for the benefit of approved creditors. This is an unsecured note that is subordinated to the National Bank of California notes and all debts allowed in the Company's bankruptcy reorganization.

In 2009, the Company adopted the FASB’s guidance on “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” This guidance requires that instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments.  The conversion feature of the Company’s Secured Financing and the related warrants, do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion and exercise prices, respectively, may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future.  The Company was required to include the reset provisions in order to protect the note holders from the potential dilution associated with future financings. In accordance with current guidance, the conversion feature of the notes was separated from the host contract (i.e., the notes) and recognized as an embedded derivative instrument at December 31, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company eliminated these derivative liabilities.

Warrant Liability

In connection with the CVC financings described in Note 7, the Company had granted to CVC an Amended and Restated Warrant  to purchase Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand (2,700,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, for cash at a price of $0.01 per share at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and until 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on August 31, 2014. CVC also had the right and option, exercisable effective at any time upon or after the consummation of a Sale of the Company’s revenue-generating business units, or upon and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or any other event or circumstance which causes, effects or requires any payment in full under the Loan Agreement and until the Expiration Date, to require the Company to redeem and purchase any or all Warrant Shares or rights to purchase Warrant Shares hereunder, for a cash purchase price of $0.75 per Warrant Share or per right to purchase a Warrant Share hereunder, such option purchase price to be subject to adjustment from time to time in respect of certain events. The total value of the put if all shares are redeemed was $2,025,000, and was recorded as a derivative liability at December 31, 2009. In conjunction with the closing and the Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, CVC of California exercised its put option related to its warrant for 2,700,000 shares for a cash purchase price of $0.75 per Warrant Share or $2,000,000. At closing, CVC was paid $500,000 and issued 3,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $712,500 to satisfy the put option, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of the derivative liability of $812,500 in the accompanying March 31, 2011 statement of operations.

Conversion feature

The principal amount of the Convertible Note and accrued interest thereon due CVC was convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.60 per share, subject to certain adjustments.  The convertible feature gave rise to a derivative liability that was valued at $896,542 at December 31, 2009. Concurrent with the extinguishment of the convertible note during 2011, the derivative liability was extinguished and a gain of $896,542 was recorded in the accompanying March 31, 2011 statement of operations.

On March 28, 2007 the Board of Directors approved and implemented the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The plan authorized option grants to employees and other persons closely associated with the Company for the purchase of up to 5,500,000 shares.

No options were issued during the year ended December 31, 2013.

The options had no intrinsic value at December 31, 2013.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of options vesting during the period was $119,677 and $261,734 respectively, and has been reflected as compensation cost. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has unvested options valued at $151,287 which will be reflected as compensation cost over the estimated remaining vesting period of 24 months.

Warrants

A summary of the warrant activity during the period is as follows:

The warrants had no intrinsic value at December 31, 2013.

Legal Proceeding

On July 5, 2007, a lawsuit was instituted by Romic Environmental Technologies Corp. (“RET”) against the Company and four of its senior executives, all of whom were formerly employed by RET. The lawsuit was brought in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. The lawsuit was settled by the Company in February 2010 with the majority of the settlement payment funded by insurance.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company's net deferred tax assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $27,245,415 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 of March 31, 2010, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of General Environmental Management,  Inc. (DE) and its subsidiaries (“GEM Delaware”), which include five service centers, the TSDF of GEM Rancho Cordova LLC, and the Island Environmental Services business (See Note 4). Due to the State of California disallowing the use of NOL carryforwards for the calendar year 2010, the Company recorded a state tax provision of $325,000. Due to the affect of the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax on the gain transaction, the Company recorded a $100,000 federal tax provision.

Reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the United States statutory income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted  a new accounting requirement to Account for Uncertainty in 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 the new accounting requirements, 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. The new requirements  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  March 31, 2010, the Company did 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. Because 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 March 31, 2010 the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

ITEM 9A (T). Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined  in  Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the  Exchange  Act (defined  below)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Because the Company was dormant from February 2010 to January 2021 disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011 are deemed to be ineffective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In addition, our management with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that change in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during or subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2013 that internal control over financial reporting is deemed to be ineffective.
