PART I
Recent Developments
Asset Sale.
On June 20, 2008, Kreido Biofuels, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “Kreido” or the “Company”) announced that due to the weakening of the economy, the continued financial market turmoil and the inability to raise needed capital to finance site construction and plant start-up costs, we were suspending work regarding our flagship biodiesel production plant at the Port of Wilmington, North Carolina, and would be exploring other alternatives to secure the value of Company assets and the STT® technology. On March 5, 2009, we sold to Four Rivers the STT® reactor technology, STT® reactors and biodiesel production plant equipment (the “Asset Sale”). As a result of the Asset Sale, we received approximately $2.8 million in cash and 1,200,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock and a common stock warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. From the $2.8 million received, $150,000 was retained in escrow pending the resolution of a certain creditor claim, and the remaining cash was used to settle amounts owed to our major creditors other than officers and directors. From the 1.2 million shares received, 20,000 shares have been transferred to a former creditor in settlement of its account and 300,000 shares have been deposited in escrow and will be delivered to us only upon delivery of notice of the exercise of warrants issued by us on January 12, 2007 and only to the extent required to meet its obligations under such warrants. (It being agreed and understood that any of the escrowed stock not delivered to Kreido as designee on or before January 31, 2012, shall be returned to Four Rivers.) We have agreed to hold the Four Rivers shares and warrant for a 360 day lock-up period (February 28, 2010). At the end of that period we will decide whether to sell or distribute the Four Rivers stock. Our current intention is to identify a business other than investing, owning, trading and holding securities that we can engage in within the year after closing the Asset Sale.
The Asset Sale is described more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Future Operating Plan.
On April 15, 2009, we reduced our staff to one executive officer, John Philpott. Mr. Philpott, working under the direction of the Kreido board of directors, will manage the Company’s remaining assets, including the sale or other disposition of remaining items of equipment, attend to the Company’s reporting requirements and pursue and evaluate opportunities for the Company to acquire an operating business. There can be no assurance that any such acquisition will be proposed, and if none is proposed before February 28, 2010, the Company may undertake to sell or distribute its Four Rivers common stock and Four Rivers warrant. It is presently contemplated that any proposed acquisition or plan of liquidation will be presented to our stockholders for approval.
Uncertainties relating to selling the remaining assets and paying our current liabilities.
We currently are attempting to sell various pieces of equipment related to the plant assets that were not included in the Asset Sale. The market for this equipment is limited and we are pursuing sales opportunities through various channels. It may be very difficult to sell the equipment, to sell the equipment at a price that would enable Kreido to pay its current liabilities or we may not be able to sell the equipment at all. Also, we may not be in a position to enter into an acquisition in a timely manner or at a value that generates sufficient cash to pay our current liabilities without having to sell shares of our Four Rivers common stock. If we do have to sell the Four Rivers common stock after February 28, 2010, we can not be assured we can generate sufficient cash to pay our current liabilities. Our current liabilities include final payments to our former CEO, the remaining Board of Directors, contractual payments to John Philpott, and a limited number of vendors and professional advisors.

Kreido Biofuels, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Kreido Biofuels, Inc. (“Kreido” or “the Company”) at June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. They do not include all information and notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in Kreido’s Annual Report on Form 10-K the period from inception (January 13, 1995) through December 31, 2008.
The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company is a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Kreido Biofuels, Inc. was incorporated as Gemwood Productions, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 7, 2005. Gemwood Productions, Inc. changed its name to Kreido Biofuels, Inc. on November 2, 2006. The Company took its current form on January 12, 2007 when Kreido Laboratories (“Kreido Labs”), completed a reverse triangular merger with Kreido Biofuels, Inc.
Kreido Labs, formerly known as Holl Technologies Company, was incorporated on January 13, 1995 under the laws of the State of California. Since incorporation, Kreido Labs has been engaged in activities required to develop, patent and commercialize its products. Kreido Labs was the creator of reactor technology that was designed to enhance the manufacturing of a broad range of chemical products.
The cornerstone of Kreido Labs’ technology was its patented STT® (Spinning Tube in Tube) diffusional chemical reacting system, which were both a licensable process and a licensable system. In 2005, the Company demonstrated how the STT® could make biodiesel from vegetable oil rapidly with almost complete conversion and less undesirable by-products. The Company had continued to pursue this activity, built and tested a pilot biodiesel production unit and, prior to June 20, 2008, was in the process of developing the first of its commercial biodiesel production plants in the United States that, if constructed and put into operation, was expected to produce approximately 33 million to 50 million gallons per year. On June 20, 2008, the Company announced that due to the weakening of the economy, the continued financial market turmoil and the inability to raise needed capital to finance site construction and plant start-up costs, the Company was suspending work regarding its flagship biodiesel production plant at the Port of Wilmington, North Carolina.

On March 5, 2009, the Company sold to Four Rivers BioEnergy, Inc. (“Four Rivers”) the STT® reactor technology, STT® reactors and biodiesel production plant equipment (the “Asset Sale”). As a result of the Asset Sale, we received approximately $2.8 million in cash, 1,180,000 net shares of Four Rivers common stock and a common stock warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. See footnote 5 for further information on the Asset Sale. From the Asset Sale, the Company has settled the amounts owed to major creditors, excluding the amounts owed to its current board of directors and professional advisors. The Company is attempting to sell the remaining equipment and hopes to enter into an acquisition with another organization from which it can raise additional funds. If the Company cannot raise adequate cash from the sale of these remaining assets or can not enter into an acquisition with another organization, then the Company believes that its cash resources will enable it to continue its business activities into March 2010, assuming that the amounts owed to its current board of directors and professional advisors are not paid in full until the Company can liquidate shares of Four Rivers common stock received by it in the Asset Sale. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company classifies assets as Assets Held for Sale and the corresponding results of operations are reported in Discontinued Operations if all of the criteria specified by the Statement are met. The Statement requires classification of assets as held for sale if management commits to sell the asset, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, action has been initiated to complete the plan to sell, sale of the asset is probable and it is being marketed at a reasonable price, and it is unlikely that the plan to sell will be withdrawn.
Reporting under Discontinued Operations is required by the Statement if corresponding operations and cash flows will be eliminated and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.
NOTE 3 RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING POLICY
Fair Value Measurements
With the receipt of the marketable equity securities as proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in March 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 are described below:
Basis of Fair Value Measurement:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The FSP amends SFAS No. 107 “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
To comply with SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” investments in available-for-sale marketable equity securities are carried at fair value. Fair values for investments are derived from quoted market prices (level 1 measurement). Marketable equity securities are valued at closing prices on the last business day of each period presented with the resulting temporary unrealized gains or losses recorded under Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). If there is an other-than-temporary deterioration in the fair value of the securities, the Company will reclassify the associated net unrealized gain or loss out of the accumulated OCI with a corresponding adjustment to Other Income. Dividend income is recorded when declared by the investee company.
The Company accounts for the 880,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock and a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock received as part of the Asset Sale as an investment in available-for-sale marketable equity securities. Shares of Four Rivers common stock are traded on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board market, as such, the common stock is valued at its quoted prices at the end of each reporting period and the warrant is valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate 1.875%, expected life range of 57 months, zero future dividends and expected volatility of 127.77%. Since the investment is prohibited from being sold until February 28, 2010, any gain or loss is deemed to be temporary and the Company records an unrealized gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income. If the gain or loss is deemed other than temporary, the Company will record the effect in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of the available-for-sale marketable equity securities was approximately $2.5 million with an original carrying value of $2.6 million.
NOTE 4 LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN ISSUES
The Company, a development stage company, has suffered recurring losses from operations and at June 30, 2009 had an accumulated deficit of $45,555,000 that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 5 SALE OF ASSETS
On March 5, 2009, the Company sold to Four Rivers its STT® reactor technology, STT® reactors and biodiesel production plant equipment. As a result of the Asset Sale, the Company received approximately $2.8 million in cash and 1,200,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock and a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share.
From the approximate $2.8 million received, $150,000 was retained in escrow pending the resolution of a certain creditor claim, and the remaining cash has been used to settle amounts owed to major creditors other than officers and directors. Additionally, the Company incurred legal and financial consulting costs of approximately $300,000 directly related to the Asset Sale and employee related costs due to termination of employment contracts of approximately $400,000.
From the 1.2 million shares received, 20,000 shares have been transferred to a former creditor in settlement of its account and 300,000 shares have been deposited in escrow and will be delivered to the Company only upon delivery of notice of the exercise of warrants issued by the Company on January 12, 2007 and only to the extent required to meet its obligations under such warrants. (It being agreed and understood that any of the escrowed stock not delivered to Kreido as designee on or before January 31, 2012, shall be returned to Four Rivers.) The Company has agreed to hold the Four Rivers shares and warrant for a 360 day lock-up period (February 28, 2010). At the end of that period the Company will decide whether to sell or distribute the Four Rivers stock. The current intention is to identify a business other than investing, owning, trading and holding securities that the Company can engage in within the year after closing the Asset Sale.
The Company recorded the sale at $5.4 million, $2.8 million in cash received, $2.2 million in value of the common stock received and $375,000 related to the valuation of the warrant received. The Company recorded the common stock received as an investment in available-for-sale marketable equity securities.
In the first six months of 2009, the Company has sold and transferred various equipment and machinery, not included in the Asset Sale, for cash proceeds of $308,000 and the release of outstanding liabilities and contractual liabilities of $558,000. In July 2009, the Company received the funds from escrow and reimbursed Four Rivers for overpayments accrued, which provided net funds released to the Company of $36,000.

The Company sold the majority of its property and equipment to Four Rivers effective March 5, 2009. The remaining property and equipment consist of some filtration equipment and resin used in a chemical processing environment and some office equipment. This equipment is currently being marketed for sale and has been written down to its current fair value.
The Company accounts for its property and equipment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The Company tested its property and equipment for recoverability because there is a current expectation that it is more likely than not, the property and equipment will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before they are put into service. As part of the Asset Sale, the Company reversed the valuation reserve for all property and equipment sold.
Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $68,000 and $126,000, respectively, including related depreciation for capital leases. There was no depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 due to the reduced carrying value of the assets after impairment reserves. Equipment recorded under capital leases totaled $9,000 and $230,000 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
NOTE 7 NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, there were no potential common equivalent shares used in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding as the effect would be anti-dilutive because of the net loss. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 the Company issued additional stock option shares of 75,000. There were no stock options issued during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company also cancelled stock options of 2,080,200 and 298,095 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2009 under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and 1997 Stock Compensation Program, respectively. The Company also cancelled stock options of 85,000 and 192,398 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2008 under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and 1997 Stock Compensation Program, respectively.

NOTE 8 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recorded zero and $2,000 of compensation costs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, relating to stock options granted to employees from 2003 to 2006. The compensation costs are based on the fair value of the stock options at the grant date.
In December 2007, the Company issued 100,000 shares restricted common stock to one of its officers. The shares were subject to repurchase by the Company for $1,000 if the officer terminates his employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause before May 31, 2009. This transaction was recorded under deferred compensation and amortized over a period of 18 months. In April 2008, the Company issued 75,000 shares of restricted common stock to one of its officers. The shares were subject to repurchase by the Company for $750 if the officer terminates his employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause before April 30, 2009. This transaction was recorded under deferred compensation and amortized over a period of 12 months. Compensation expense for the six month periods ended June 30 was $12,000 for each 2009 and 2008. In April 2009, all shares of restricted common stock were released and none were repurchased.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. There were no options issued for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The fair value of the options issued during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rates 2.75% and 3.03%, expected life range of 5.25 to 5.583 years and expected volatility of 92%. The expected stock price volatility assumption was based on the average volatility of similar public companies for the period prior to the Company’s reverse merger. The expected term assumption used in the option pricing model was based on the “safe harbor” approach under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, (SAB 107), where the “expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2).” The risk free interest rate assumption was based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with remaining term equal to the expected term. A projected dividend yield of 0% was used as the Company has never issued dividends.

On February 1, 2008, the compensation committee of the board of directors agreed to reprice the unvested options held by the Company’s employees under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. These options were repriced for only those granted in 2007, with an exercise price above the closing market price on February 1, 2008, which was $0.33 per share. The Company determined the additional compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) to be $22,000. Since the repricing only affected unvested shares, it does not affect amounts already recorded and the increased amount will be recorded over the remaining vesting period.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense of $90,000 and $493,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which includes the compensation effect for the options repriced. The stock-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of the options at the grant date.
NOTE 9 CONTINGENCY
In March 2004, Kreido Labs and a former officer and shareholder of Kreido Labs reached agreement on the terms of a settlement of disputes arising out of the termination of the former officer and shareholder’s employment with Kreido Labs. The settlement was never completed. In June 2007, the former officer and shareholder demanded implementation of the settlement including the payment of approximately $190,000 plus interest though no further communications has occurred. Kreido Labs disputes any obligation to the former officer and shareholder. The Company will continue to assess the progress of the dispute.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PROVIDES INFORMATION WHICH OUR MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IS RELEVANT TO AN ASSESSMENT AND UNDERSTANDING OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. THIS DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES TO OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT, AND WITH OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FILED ON MARCH 31, 2009.
In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “hopes,” “targets,” “should,” “will,” “will likely result,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “projects” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our,” mean Kreido Biofuels, Inc. and our subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.
We took our current form on January 12, 2007, when our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kreido Acquisition Corp., or Acquisition Sub, and Kreido Laboratories, or Kreido Labs, executed a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, or the Merger Agreement. On January 12, 2007, Acquisition Sub merged with and into Kreido Labs, with Kreido Labs remaining as the surviving corporation and as our wholly-owned subsidiary, or the Merger. Also contemporaneously with the closing of the Merger, we split-off another wholly-owned subsidiary, Gemwood Leaseco, Inc., a Nevada corporation, through the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Gemwood Leaseco, Inc., or the Split-Off. As a consequence of the sale of Gemwood Leaseco, Inc., we discontinued all of our business operations which we conducted prior to the closing of the Merger, and spun off all material liabilities existing prior to that date in any way related to our pre-closing business operations. Our primary operations became those operated by Kreido Labs.
The Merger was treated as a recapitalization of our company for accounting purposes. Our historical financial statements before the Merger were replaced with the historical financial statements of Kreido Labs in all filings with the SEC subsequent to January 12, 2007.
Kreido Labs is a corporation founded to develop proprietary technology for building micro-composite materials for electronic applications. In 1995, Kreido Labs began to develop the technology used in the design and assembly of the STT® Reactor. Kreido Labs thereafter sought to develop the technology to improve the speed, completeness and efficiency of certain chemical reactions, including esterifications and transesterifications, in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. We designed and developed the STT® Reactor which incorporates our proprietary and patented “spinning tube-in-tube” design configuration to improve the speed and yield of chemical reactions. One of the Environmental Protection Agency’s largest laboratories has been using the STT® Reactor-based technology since 2004 to develop and evaluate new chemical processes and develop and optimize protocols for use of the STT® Reactor by public and private entities. Beginning in the last quarter of 2005, Kreido Labs began to evaluate the advantages of the STT® Reactor specifically for the production of biodiesel. In the first quarter of 2006, Kreido Labs elected to focus almost exclusively on the biodiesel industry and began to prepare and execute our current business plan. On January 12, 2007, as a result of the Merger, Kreido Labs became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kreido Biofuels, Inc.
Plan of Operations
On June 20, 2008, we announced that we were suspending our plan to commercialize our proprietary equipment system for biodiesel production on an industrial scale and to become one of the leading providers of biodiesel in the United States and elsewhere. We expected to execute our business plan by generating revenues from multiple sources: 1) by building and operating our own STT® biodiesel Production Units; 2) licensing our STT® Reactor-based technology to others which may require one of our production units to be in operation, and 3) in the longer term, by providing technology and investing in businesses that will develop or use our STT® Reactor-based technology for production of biofuels and other products.

Recent Developments
On March 5, 2009, we sold to Four Rivers the STT® reactor technology, STT® reactors and biodiesel production plant equipment (the “Asset Sale”). As a result of the Asset Sale, we received approximately $2.8 million in cash and 1,200,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock and a common stock warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. From the $2.8 million received, $150,000 was retained in escrow pending the resolution of a certain creditor claim, and the remaining cash was used to settle amounts owed to our major creditors other than officers and directors. From the 1.2 million shares received, 20,000 shares have been transferred to a former creditor in settlement of its account and 300,000 shares have been deposited in escrow and will be delivered to us only upon delivery of notice of the exercise of warrants issued by Kreido on January 12, 2007 and only to the extent required to meet its obligations under such warrants. (It being agreed and understood that any of the escrowed stock not delivered to Kreido as designee on or before January 31, 2012, shall be returned to Four Rivers.) We have agreed to hold the Four Rivers shares and warrant for a 360 day lock-up period (February 28, 2010). At the end of that period we will decide whether to sell or distribute the Four Rivers stock. Our current intention is to identify a business other than investing, owning, trading and holding securities that we can engage in within the year after closing the Asset Sale.
Future Operating Plan
On April 15, 2009, we reduced our staff to one executive officer, John Philpott. Mr. Philpott, working under the direction of the Kreido board of directors, will manage the Company’s remaining assets, including the sale or other disposition of remaining items of equipment, attend to the Company’s reporting requirements and pursue and evaluate opportunities for us to acquire an operating business. There can be no assurance that any such acquisition will be proposed, and if none is proposed before February 28, 2010, we may undertake to sell or distribute its Four Rivers common stock and the Four Rivers warrant. It is presently contemplated that any proposed acquisition or plan of liquidation will be presented to our stockholders for approval. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell the remaining equipment nor enter into a sale of the Company nor liquidate the Four Rivers common stock in order to generate sufficient cash to pay our current liabilities.
Consolidated Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $16.5 million compared to $17.9 million for the same period in 2008. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were zero compared to $809,000 for the same period in 2008. No research and development expenses were incurred in calendar year 2009 due to the termination of all research and development activities in the last quarter of 2008. Research and development costs for the first half of 2008 consisted of salaries for chief technology officer and a scientist in the second quarter and a patent valuation write down of $639,000. General and administrative costs decreased to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $3.7 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease was related primarily to the downsizing of the last employees of the Company due to the Asset Sale that was completed March 5, 2009. General and administrative costs for the first half of 2008 consisted of expenditures for the rental of tanks from Vopak, the write off of capitalized site specific costs related to the proposed full scale plant site, the costs associated with being a public company, an increase in stock compensation expense from the issuance and repricing of stock options to employees and an increase in payroll related costs from the hiring of additional personnel. Also during 2008, we expensed as an impairment reserve $13.4 million of costs attributed to plant assets and costs associated with building extra reactors and acquiring spare parts. Due to the limited personnel and operating overhead costs, we expect general and administrative costs to be comparable to the costs incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, we will continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public reporting entity.

Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was zero compared to $53,000 for the same period in 2008. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of interest income. The interest income decrease reflects the changes in the available cash balances and currently the Company earns minimal interest for its checking account.
Net Loss
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,374,000 or a 92% decrease compared to the net loss of $17,808,000, for the same six month period for 2008. There were no net sales or gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future.
Consolidated Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses of $144,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $15.2 million compared to $15.3 million for the same period in 2008. Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were zero compared to $582,000 for the same period in 2008. The decrease in research and development expenses was due to the Company’s termination of its research and development activities as it completed its sale of assets. Research and development costs for the same period in 2008 consisted primarily of the patent valuation write down of $398,000. General and administrative costs decreased to $154,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $2.1 million for the same period in 2008 primarily related to the winding down of our operations, severance costs and final costs incurred related to the Asset Sale. General and administrative costs for the same period in 2008 consisted primarily of the write off of $891,000 of capitalized site specific costs related to the proposed full scale plant site. Development of the full scale plant site was suspended on June 20, 2008. Also during 2008, we expensed as an impairment reserve $12.6 million of costs attributed to plant assets and costs associated with building extra reactors and acquiring spare parts. We expect general and administrative costs to continue to stay at the current levels as we pursue the sale of the remaining assets and our business. Additionally, we will continue to incur some costs associated with operating as a public reporting entity.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased to zero from $12,000 for the same period in 2008. Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of interest income. The interest income decrease reflects the changes in the available cash balances and currently the Company earns minimal interest for its checking account.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $144,000 compared to the net loss of $15.3 million for the same three month period for 2008. The net loss for the three month period in 2009 consisted primarily of payroll and severance costs, expenses incurred completing the Asset Sale and the loss from the sale of property and equipment. The net loss for the three month period in 2008 primarily related to the expensing of overhead manufacturing costs previously capitalized and the reserve of plant assets and inventory costs. There were no net sales or gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2009, we had current assets of $2,829,000, including cash on hand of $174,000, cash in escrow of $150,000 and shares of Four Rivers common stock and a related warrant with a fair value of $2,464,000, and current liabilities of $509,000. In July 2009, the cash in escrow was released and $114,000 was used to return an overpayment by Four Rivers with a net $36,000 released to the Company. We are restricted from selling our shares of Four Rivers common stock until February 28, 2010. The Company requires approximately $15,000 per month to meet its immediate operating costs. Thus, we believe that with the continued cooperation of our few remaining creditors, including the final payments due to the former CEO and CFO and the current board of directors, we believe that we have cash resources that will enable us to continue our business activities into March 2010.

A summary of our sources and use of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2009, is as follows:
   
Source of cash consisted of proceeds from the sale of assets of $3.0 million.
   
Uses of cash consisted of operating expenses of $1.2 million (net non-cash expenses such as stock compensation), the payment of prepaid directors and officer insurance of $145,000 and the payment of outstanding liabilities of $1.8 million and, the repayment of capital leases of $39,000 and investments in patents of $58,000 for a total use of cash of approximately $3.2 million.
   
The decrease in cash balance to $174,000 results from net sources of $3.0 million less uses of cash of $3.2 million.
The details of the cash flow activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are discussed below.
Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $3.0 million as compared to $941,000 for the same period in 2008. Net cash used from operations in 2009 related to costs associated with the Asset Sale, operating costs, severance payments, and a decrease in accounts payable due to payments made to vendors as part of the Asset Sale. Net cash used by operations in 2008 is primarily related to operating costs and an increase in accounts payable which consisted of certain large invoices due to vendors associated with the construction of our biodiesel production plant.
Net cash provided by investing activities for six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $2.9 million which was a decrease from $4.1 million used in investing activities for the same period in 2008. The cash provided by investing activities in 2009 consisted primarily of the proceeds from the Asset Sale and other equipment sold less the amount held in escrow and offset by an investment in patents. The cash used in 2008 consisted primarily of the purchase and construction of equipment and facilities associated with our Wilmington Plant. Costs of the plant consist of: (1) site selection, leasing, permitting and other legal compliance; (2) architectural, design and engineering; (3) labor, overhead and materials to build in-house the STT® Reactors; (4) designing, engineering and manufacturing of the plant production unit which includes components such as centrifuges, tanks, control panels and other equipment being built by third parties for delivery to the plant site; and (5) the general contractor fees, engineering and construction of the buildings and physical improvements including tanks, piping, boilers and various lab and other equipment and machinery comprising the plant.
Net cash used by financing activities for six months ended June 30, 2009 was $39,000, which is due to repayment of capital lease obligations. For the same period in 2008, $19,000 was used for the repayment of capital lease obligations.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we classify assets as Assets Held for Sale and the corresponding results of operations are reported in Discontinued Operations if all of the criteria specified by the Statement are met. The Statement requires classification of assets as held for sale if management commits to sell the asset, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, action has been initiated to complete the plan to sell, sale of the asset is probable and it is being marketed at a reasonable price, and it is unlikely that the plan to sell will be withdrawn.
Reporting under Discontinued Operations is required by the Statement if corresponding operations and cash flows will be eliminated and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.

Fair Value Measurements
With the receipt of the marketable equity securities as proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in March 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 are described below:
Basis of Fair Value Measurement:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The FSP amends SFAS No. 107 “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
To comply with SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” investments in available-for-sale marketable equity securities are carried at fair value. Fair values for investments are derived from quoted market prices (level 1 measurement). Marketable equity securities are valued at closing prices on the last business day of each period presented with the resulting temporary unrealized gains or losses recorded under Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). If there is an other-than-temporary deterioration in the fair value of the securities, the Company will reclassify the associated net unrealized gain or loss out of the accumulated OCI with a corresponding adjustment to Other Income. Dividend income is recorded when declared by the investee company.
We account for the 880,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock and a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Four Rivers common stock received as part of the Asset Sale as an investment in available-for-sale marketable securities. Shares of Four Rivers common stock are traded on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board market, as such, the investment is valued at its quoted prices at the end of each reporting period and the warrant is valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate 1.875%, expected life range of 57 months, zero future dividends and expected volatility of 127.77%. Since the investment is prohibited from being sold until February 28, 2010, any gain or loss is deemed to be temporary and we record an unrealized gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income. If the gain or loss is deemed other than temporary, we will record the effect in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of the available-for-sale marketable equity securities was approximately $2.5 million with an original carrying value of $2.6 million.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of long-lived assets may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, we use an estimate of the related undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining life of the long-lived assets in measuring whether they are recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recorded as the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value. Management had performed an assessment of the fixed assets of the Company which includes assessments of the future realizable value of the assets through discussion with potential buyers and manufactures and vendors though a formal appraisal was not obtained due to its cost. Based on this analysis, we had reserved a significant portion of the amount of our assets for future plants, spare parts and other fixed assets. In connection with the Asset Sale, we reversed the valuation reserve. We will continue to assess the remaining property and equipment for impairment, though there can be no assurance that additional reserves or write off may not be required when the actual realized value of the property and equipment are determined through sale or exchange.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R) “Share Based Payment” using the modified prospective approach and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). Under SFAS 123(R), stock-based awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 will be charged to expense over the remaining portion of their vesting period. These awards will be charged to expense under the straight-line method using the same fair value measurements which were used in calculating pro forma stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123. For stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, we determined stock-based compensation based on the fair value method specified in SFAS 123(R), and we will amortize stock-based compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
For periods prior to January 1, 2006, SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” Replaces SFAS No. 162, establishes the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. On the effective date for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the Codification will supersede all then–existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 168 will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB interpretation No. 46(R),” establishes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through voting should be consolidated. This statement improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities, which addresses the effects on certain provisions of FASB interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FASB No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets,” and constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R). SFAS No. 167 is effective after November 15, 2009. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010 and is expected to have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets,” which is an amendment of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” requires entities to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets. This statement will improve the relevance, representation faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets. It will also take into account the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows, and a transferor’s continuing involvement. SFAS No. 166 is effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010 and is expected to have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which requires entities to disclose the date through which they have evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the release of their financial statements. The statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this statement and will adequately disclose subsequent events in the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” to determine whether the holder of an investment in a debt or equity security for which changes in fair value are not regularly recognized in earnings (such as securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale) should recognize a loss in earnings when the investment is impaired. FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 improves the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. The effective date for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. The adoption of this FSP did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
