INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
STW
Resources, Inc.
(A
Development Stage Company)
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of STW Resources, Inc. (the Company) (a
development stage company) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements
of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from Inception
(January 28, 2008) to December 31, 2008. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. 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. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of STW Resources, Inc. as of December
31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period
from Inception (January 28, 2008) to December 31, 2008, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
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 is in the development stage, has not attained profitable
operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its
business activities. These factors 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.

Organization,
Nature of Activities and Basis of
Presentation
|
STW
Resources, Inc. (“STW” or the “Company”) is a development stage Nevada
corporation formed on January 28, 2008, to utilize state of the art water
reclamation technologies to reclaim fresh water from highly contaminated oil and
gas hydraulic fracture flow-back salt water that is produced in conjunction with
the production of oil & gas. STW has been working to establish
contracts with oil and gas operators for the deployment of multiple water
reclamation systems throughout Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Appalachian
Basin of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. STW, in conjunction with
energy producers, operators, various state agencies and legislators, are working
to create an efficient and economical solution to this complex
problem. The Company is also evaluating the deployment of similar
technology in the municipal wastewater industry.
Status
of Relationship with GE Water & Process Technologies
STW
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with GE Water & Process
Technologies (“GE Water”), a unit of General Electric Company, dated February
14, 2008 (“MOU”) to jointly develop off-take agreements with oil and gas
operators for the deployment of multiple water reclamation systems throughout
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Appalachian Basin. STW and GE
Water formalized their relationship on May 22, 2008, by entering into a
definitive Teaming Agreement (“Teaming Agreement”), which superseded the
MOU. The Teaming Agreement was drafted in accordance with the terms
of the MOU and provides greater certainty as to each party’s responsibilities
and as to the process of entering into agreements with and providing services to
customers. The Teaming Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions
that will govern the STW and GE Water relationship when STW is successful in
selling its services to an identified prospect.
In April
2008, STW entered into a purchase order with GE Water (“Purchase Order”), for
the purchase of a modularized produced water evaporator system (the “Evaporator
System”) capable of processing approximately 720,000 gallons per
day. The total commitment under the Purchase Order was $14.5 million,
to be paid over eight installments. As of September 30, 2009, the
Company has paid a total of approximately $4.7 million. Included in
this total is $300,000 of its $1.5 million second installment payment which was
due at the end of June 2008. The Company is currently in arrears on
the remaining $1.2 million under the second installment payment and is also in
arrears in its third installment payment of $3.6 million which was due on
November 28, 2008, the fourth installment payment of $1.5 million
which was due on February 27, 2009, and the fifth installment payment of
$1.8 million which was due on August 28, 2009. The total of
all amounts invoiced and unpaid, including accrued interest, through
September 30, 2009, totaled $9.0 million. In addition, pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Order, the Company is required to post a letter of
credit securing the balance of the payments due under the Purchase Order,
totaling $1.9 million, which the Company has not yet done. Finally,
in April 2009, the Company issued a change order to the Purchase Order to
increase the overall processing capacity to approximately one million gallons
per day. This change order obligated the Company to additional
payments totaling approximately $1.2 million.
On
January 12, 2009, GE Water sent a notice of default with respect to the past due
payments on the Evaporator System, and the required posting of the letter of
credit, as set forth under the Purchase Order, with a requirement that such
default be cured within 30 days from the date of the
6
STW
RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

notices. GE
Water took no further action with respect to the notice of default until
August 13, 2009.
On August
13, 2009, GE Water provided the Company a six month additional grace period,
through February 13, 2010. At the end of the additional six month
grace period, if the Company has not met its obligations, GE Water represented
that it would meet with the Company to determine the state of the investment
market and grant or not grant an additional grace period, as
necessary. If, after February 13, 2010, GE Water elected to not
extend the Company’s payment obligations, GE Water could foreclose on the
Evaporator System, resulting in the loss of payments advanced to date by the
Company and future use of the Evaporator System under construction.
On
October 1, 2009, GE Water sent a letter to STW unilaterally announcing to STW
that GE was canceling the Company’s Purchase Order due to STW’s inability to pay
the current amounts due. GE Water also demanded a “termination”
payment of $750,000. In the same letter, GE Water unilaterally
announced it was cancelling the Teaming Agreement citing GE Water’s belief that
STW was insolvent. GE Water prefaced its cancellation of the Purchase
Order and Teaming Agreement on a failure of GE Water and STW to renegotiate a
substitute Teaming Agreement. On October 8, 2009, STW responded to GE
Water in writing rejecting GE Water’s unilateral termination of the Purchase
Order and Teaming Agreements, among other things including that GE Water had the
contractual requirement to arbitrate certain of the disputed matters raised by
GE Water’s October 1, 2009 letter. Subsequently, GE Water replied to
STW’s letter denying the Company’s allegations, but inviting the Company to meet
in person with GE Water representatives to attempt to resolve their
differences. STW expects such meeting to be scheduled in the near
future.
Going
Concern
The
Company from Inception (January 28, 2008) through December 31, 2008, did not
have any revenues. The Company has no significant operating history
as of December 31, 2008, has accumulated losses and negative cash flow from
operations since inception and is currently in default of amounts past due to GE
Water. From Inception (January 28, 2008) through
December 31, 2008, management has raised equity and debt financing to
fund operations and to provide working capital. However, there is no
assurance that in the future such financing will be available to meet the
Company’s needs.
Management
has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of
sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and
beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or
obtaining financing; (b) continue to work in good faith with GE Water to perform
its obligations under the Teaming Agreement and the Purchase Order, (c)
executing contracts with oil and gas operators and municipal utility districts;
and (d) controlling overhead and expenses. There can be no assurance
that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain
that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain
additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional
financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and
conditions, if at all.
In the
event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may
elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy or
7
STW
RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December

may be
subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management
has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely
occurrence.
The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The
Company’s operations are located in the United States of America and the
principal executive offices are located at 3417 Mercer, Suite D, Houston, TX
77027.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments with an
original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk
consist of cash. From time to time, the Company has cash in its bank
accounts in excess of federally insured limits.
The
Company anticipates entering into long-term, fixed-price contracts for its
services with select oil and gas producers and municipal
utilities. The Company will control credit risk related to accounts
receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring
procedures.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
As at
December 31, 2008, the fair value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses
and notes payable, including amounts due to and from related parties,
approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these
instruments.
Stock
Based Compensation
On
December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
123(R) (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" which is
a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". SFAS No. 123(R) superseded Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and amended SFAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash
Flows". Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar
to the
8
STW
RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2008
approach
described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options,
to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair
values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an
alternative. The effective date for the Company’s application of SFAS
No. 123(R) was January 28, 2008 (date of inception).
There
were no grants of employee options during the period from January 28, 2008 (date
of inception) through December 31, 2008. There were no unvested
options outstanding as of the date of the Company’s adoption of SFAS No.
123(R).
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the
lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the
asset.
Expenditures
for major additions or improvements, which extend the useful lives of assets,
are capitalized. Minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which
do not improve or extend the lives of the assets, are charged to operations as
incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated
depreciation, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current
operations.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company follows SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS No. 144 requires that
long-lived assets held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability
may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring
losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over
an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of
long-lived assets based upon forecasted discounted cash flows. Should
impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the long-lived assets
will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting
from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also
requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or the fair value less disposal costs.
Segment
reporting
The
Company follows SFAS No. 130, “Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information”. The Company operates as a single
segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it
expands its operations.
Income
taxes
The
Company follows SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”
for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial
statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted
marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to
be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are
based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If
available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not
that
9
STW
RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2008
some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation
allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is
more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation
allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period
of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences
resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and
tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as
current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and
liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from
temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are
classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the
temporary differences are expected to reverse.
At
Inception (January 28, 2008), the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Interpretation Number 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”
(“FIN 48”), which is intended to clarify the accounting for income taxes
prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax provision before being
recognized in the consolidated financial statements. FIN 48 also
provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition. As a result, the Company has concluded that it does not
have any unrecognized tax benefits or any additional tax liabilities after
applying FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 therefore had no impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
In
May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Account Standard No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. In
particular, SFAS No. 165 sets forth:
·
|
The
period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting
entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements;
and
|
·
|
The
circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or
transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements; and
|
·
|
The
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet
date.
|
SFAS
No. 165 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively. The
application of SFAS No. 165 will have no impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

Notes
Payable
|
In April
2008, the Company issued promissory notes (the “April 2008 Notes”) totaling $1.1
million. Each note bore interest at a rate of 10% per
annum. Principal and accrued but unpaid interest on each note was
payable in full on June 1, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the April

In
January 2009, the Company issued a warrant to acquire 1,500,000 common shares at
an exercise price of $4.00 for five years for professional services for business
development consultation. Using the Black Scholes pricing model, with
volatility of 150%, a risk-free interest rate of 2.5% and a 0% dividend yield,
the warrant was determined to have a fair value of $293,054, with such value
recorded as professional fee expense and additional paid-in
capital.
On
January 2, 2009, and January 6, 2009, the Company entered into securities
purchase agreements with two accredited investors (the “January 2009 Bridge
Investors”) for the issuance by the Company of a 10% promissory note in the

"January 2009 Bridge Notes"). In addition to the January 2009 Bridge
Notes, the January 2009 Bridge Investors also each received 12,500 shares of
Common Stock of the Company. These shares of Common Stock were valued
at an aggregate of $6,750, based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s
Common Stock at that date. This amount was recorded as a discount to
the January 2009 Bridge Notes and will be amortized to interest expense using
the effective interest rate method over the term of the notes. The
January 2009 Bridge Notes matured on the earlier of 90 days from closing or upon

with the January 2009 Bridge Notes was 10% per annum, payable on the maturity
date.

issued warrants to acquire 480,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and paid
$40,000 in fees. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five
years at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Using the Black
Scholes pricing model, with volatility of 150%, a risk-free interest
rate of 2.5% and a 0% dividend yield, the warrants were determined to have a
fair value of $97,232, with such value recorded as a discount to the January 14,
2009 Bridge Note and to additional paid-in capital. This discount,
along with the $40,000 in fees, will be amortized using the effective interest
rate method over the term of the indebtedness. The January 14, 2009
Bridge Note matured 90 days from closing. Interest associated with
the January 14, 2009 Bridge Note was 15% per annum, payable on the maturity
date.

was also entitled to a $15,000 financing fee payable at
maturity. This fee was accrued as a discount to the March 2009 Bridge

convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the
Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.25 per share (the
“Conversion Price”). The 2009 12% Convertible Notes bear
interest at 12% per annum and mature 12 months from the date of
issuance. For each 2009 12% Convertible Note purchased, each investor
will receive a warrant to purchase up to such number of shares of the
Company’s common stock equal to one-half of the face amount of the 2009 12%
Convertible Note divided by the Conversion Price. The warrants shall
be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an
exercise price of $3.00 per share. Through
September 30, 2009, the Company had issued a total of $650,000 face
value of its 12% Convertible Notes.
In April
2009, the holders of the CEO Bridge Note, the January 2009 Bridge Notes, the
January 14, 2009 Bridge Note and the March 2009 Bridge Note agreed to convert
the $700,000 total of their outstanding notes into the 2009 12% Convertible
Notes.

related obligations and has been accruing, as a component of accrued expenses,
past due salaries to its employees and, as a component of accounts payable,
severance payments payable to its former Chief Executive Officer and fees due
its in-house counsel. Through September 30, 2009, the Company, in

amount of 12% convertible notes (the “Deferred Compensation Convertible Notes”)
on the basis of $2.00 of Deferred Compensation Convertible Note face value for
each $1.00 of compensation deferred. Each Deferred Compensation

shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.25
per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Deferred Compensation
Convertible Notes bear interest at 12% per annum and mature 12 months from the
