NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1
|
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. When reading the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report, reference should be made to the financial statements, schedules and notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009.
THE COMPANY
EcoSystem Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” “EcoSystem,” or the “Company”) is a clean technology development company with a focus on developing innovations designed to resolve compelling ecological challenges while producing value added carbon neutral and negative products.
Carbon dioxide is the most abundant waste produced by human activity. Continued accumulation in Earth’s atmosphere and oceans needs to be avoided in order to prevent severe climate change. The majority of our waste carbon emissions come from the combustion of fossil fuels to produce electricity, to power transportation, to heat our homes and to manufacture products. The scientific consensus is that these activities are directly responsible for increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations to the highest that they have been for more than 650,000 years. However, and despite the increased focus on renewable sources of energy, fossil fuels will continue to play a vital and dominant role in providing the majority of our energy needs over at least the next 50 years. Most scientists agree that, unabated, the combustion of fossil fuels to meet these needs will pump enough carbon dioxide into the global ecosystem to bring about severe climate change. Our collective challenge is to stem the tide – to channel the flow of waste carbon emissions in ways that stimulate economic growth and preserve quality of life while preventing the continued accumulation of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere and oceans.
EcoSystem’s ambition is to contribute to the resolution of this challenge by developing new clean technologies that reduce and reuse carbon emissions. Our plan to do so while building shareholder value is to develop, license and support technologies and projects that beneficially reuse waste carbon emissions in ways that reduce consumption of fossil fuels, increase use of sustainable raw materials, and decrease production of wastes and emissions.
Our current technology portfolio includes several feedstock and product conditioning technologies, lipid and alcohol production and refining technologies, and carbon dioxide recycling and refining technologies. While these technologies have wide application potential in several industries and processes, we are initially focused on developing applications of these technologies for use in the existing first generation U.S. corn ethanol industry. We believe that the composition and extent of the installed ethanol complex and the relatively uncomplicated nature of its inputs and outputs presents compelling opportunities to defray risk as we commercialize our technologies. Importantly, significant demand exists today for technologies that enhance the efficiency and sustainability of refining corn into liquid fuel. We believe that satisfying this demand can be expected to result in reduced reliance on petroleum products, more efficient use of natural resources, increased use of biomass-derived fuels and other products, and decreased greenhouse gas emissions on globally-meaningful scales.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a loss in continuing operations of $754,290 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, and had an accumulated deficit and negative cash flow from continuing operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include raising additional proceeds from debt and equity transactions and completing strategic acquisitions.
NOTE 3

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
7
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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per common share represent the amount of earnings (loss) for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the amount of earnings (loss) for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period, such as common shares that could result from the potential exercise or conversion of securities into common stock. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share. Potential future dilutive securities include common shares issuable under the Company’s outstanding convertible debentures and shares of Series D preferred stock as of June 30, 2010 as described more fully in these Notes to the Company’s Condensed Financial Statements.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period.
The Company accounts for stock issued for services to non-employees by reference to the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of issuance as it is the more readily determinable value.
DEFERRED FINANCING CHARGES AND DEBT DISCOUNTS
Deferred finance costs represent costs which may include direct costs incurred to third parties in order to obtain long-term financing and have been reflected as other assets. Costs incurred with parties who are providing the actual long-term financing, which generally include the value of warrants, or the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion features associated with the underlying debt, are reflected as a debt discount. These costs and discounts are generally amortized over the life of the related debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded amortization of the note discount in the amount of $18,822.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company accounted for the convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This topic defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance supersedes all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.
The Company accounted for the convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.
Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820-10-55-23A, Scope Application to Certain Non-Financial Assets and Certain Non-Financial Liabilities, delaying application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as permitted. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
•
|
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.
|
8
•
|
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.
|
|||||||||||||
•
|
Level 3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing models.

The fair value of the conversion features are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a conversion liability for the calculated value. The Company recognizes the present value for the conversion liability which is added to the principal of the debenture. The Company also recognizes expense for the accretion of the conversion liability to fair value over the term of the note.
The Company has adopted ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in each debenture could result in the note principal being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
|
PREFERRED STOCK
Shares of the Series D Preferred Stock (the "Series D Shares") may be converted by the holder into Company common stock at a rate representing 80% of the fully diluted outstanding common shares outstanding after the conversion (which includes all common shares outstanding plus all common shares potentially issuable upon the conversion of all derivative securities not held by the holder). The holder of Series D Shares may cast the number of votes at a shareholders meeting or by written consent that equals the number of common shares into which the Series D Shares are convertible on the record date for the shareholder action. In the event the Board of Directors declares a dividend payable to Company common shareholders, the holders of Series D Shares will receive the dividend that would be payable if the Series D Shares were converted into Company common shares prior to the dividend. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series D Shares will receive a preferential distribution of $0.001 per share, and will share in the distribution as if the Series D Shares had been converted into common shares.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Minority Interest Fund (I), LLC (“MIF”) converted 1,636 shares of Series D preferred stock into 5,453,300 common shares. An additional 531 shares of Series D preferred stock beneficially owned by Viridis Capital, LLC (“Viridis”) were converted during the six months ended June 30, 2010 into 6,867,000 common shares. On July 9, 2010, Viridis converted 189,425 Series D Shares into 500,000,000 common shares.
The Company’s Series E Preferred Stock was authorized during 2009 in connection with the Preferred Equity Financing. The Company entered into an agreement to cancel all Series E shares previously issued in April 2010, which agreement called for the issuance of a total of 5,000,000 Company common shares and the retention of another 1,869,000 common shares previously issued to the relevant investors in anticipation of converting Series E shares. All Series E shares are consequently pending cancelation. The 5,000,000 common shares to be issued to the relevant investors have been recorded as liabilities due to be settled in stock and were valued as of the April 15, 2010 commitment date.
COMMON STOCK
In addition to the common shares issued noted above, the Company issued 7,281,069 shares of common stock upon the conversion of an aggregate of $75,702 in debt during the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisting of: 4,520,202 common shares issued to Mammoth Corporation upon the conversion of $47,702 in accrued interest; 700,000 common shares issued to JMJ

Financial Corporation upon the conversion of $18,000 in debt; 778,816 common shares issued to Sunny Isles Ventures, LLC upon the conversion of $5,000 in debt; and 1,282,051 common shares issued to Mazuma Funding upon the conversion of $5,000 in debt.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
On May 15, 2009, EcoSystem and GS CleanTech Corporation entered into an Early Adopter License Agreement (the EALA) involving use of several of GS CleanTech’s technologies. The EALA calls for the payment of royalties to GS CleanTech equal to 10% of EcoSystems pre-tax net income deriving from the use of GS CleanTech’s technologies (excluding corn oil extraction). EcoSystem shall provide all of the capital resources needed to build bench, pilot and commercial scale facilities based on these technologies under the EALA. GS CleanTech is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GreenShift Corporation, which company is majority owned by our majority shareholder, Viridis Capital, LLC. The Company received a favorable response for grant funding sought for the Company’s feedstock conditioning technologies for during 2009, however, the Company elected not to proceed given the requirements of the relevant grant program. This particular technology was demonstrated during the year ended December 31, 2009 to result in more than 6% more biofuel yield by pre-conditioning corn prior to fermentation to increase the concentration of sugar available for fermentation into alcohol as well as oil available for extraction.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company invoiced Carbonics Capital Corporation for $121,561 related to research and development costs. A reserve for doubtful accounts in the amount of $121,561 has been set up in regards to this receivable. Carbonics Capital Corporation was previously owned by our majority shareholder, Viridis Capital, LLC.
Minority Interest Fund (II), LLC (“MIF”) is party to certain convertible debentures issued by the Company (see Note 6, Convertible Debentures, below). The managing member of MIF is a relative of the Company’s chairman.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a convertible debenture payable to Minority Interest Fund (II), LLC (“MIF”) in the amount of $167,594 (the “MIF Debenture”). The convertible debt issued to MIF bears interest at a rate of 20% and matures on December 31, 2011. The MIF Debentures are convertible into Company common stock at a rate equal to 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price for the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding conversion. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company assigned $445,114 in related party debt owed to GreenShift Corporation to the MIF Debenture thereby increasing the debenture by this amount. The MIF Debenture was also increased by $156,765 in additional advances during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $7,900 in accrued interest was reclassed and added to the principal. The Company accounted for the MIF Debenture in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the MIF Debenture could result in the note principal being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares. The Company determined the value of the MIF Debenture at December 31, 2009 to be $183,005 which represented the face value of the debenture of $167,594 plus the present value of the conversion feature. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, MIF sold a portion of the MIF Debenture in the amounts of $21,075 (including accrued interest of $2,968) to Mazuma Funding and $50,000 to Sunny Isles Ventures. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized additional conversion liabilities at present value of $50,835 for additional funding received and recorded an expense of $2,159 for the accretion to fair value of the conversion liability for the six months. The carrying value of the MIF Debenture was $777,671 at June 30, 2010, and included principal of $709,266 and the value of the conversion liability. The liability for the conversion feature shall increase from its present value of $68,405 at June 30, 2010 to its estimated settlement value of $78,576 at December 31, 2011. Interest expense of $53,330 for these obligations was accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company recognized a $100,000 debt discount in relation to the difference between the $600,000 JMJ Debenture and the $500,000 JMJ Note. This discount is being amortized over the term of the debenture. The Company recognized amortization of debt discount of $18,822 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The principal balance receivable under the JMJ Note was $450,000 as of June 30, 2010 and accrued interest receivable under the JMJ Note was $66,575. The principal and accrued interest for the JMJ Note and JMJ Debenture has been presented as of June 30, 2010, at their face value, without offset. The JMJ Debenture is convertible into Company common stock at a rate equal to 70% of the lowest closing market price for the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding conversion. The Company accounted for the JMJ Debenture dated June 9, 2009 in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the JMJ Debenture could result in the note principal being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
EcoSystem Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” “EcoSystem,” or the “Company”) is a clean technology development company with a focus on developing innovations designed to resolve compelling ecological challenges while producing value added carbon neutral and negative products.
Carbon dioxide is the most abundant waste produced by human activity. Continued accumulation in Earth’s atmosphere and oceans needs to be avoided in order to prevent severe climate change. The majority of our waste carbon emissions come from the combustion of fossil fuels to produce electricity, to power transportation, to heat our homes and to manufacture products. The scientific consensus is that these activities are directly responsible for increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations to the highest that they have been for more than 650,000 years. However, and despite the increased focus on renewable sources of energy, fossil fuels will continue to play a vital and dominant role in providing the majority of our energy needs over at least the next 50 years. Most scientists agree that, unabated, the combustion of fossil fuels to meet these needs will pump enough carbon dioxide into the global ecosystem to bring about severe climate change. Our collective challenge is to stem the tide – to channel the flow of waste carbon emissions in ways that stimulate economic growth and preserve quality of life while preventing the continued accumulation of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere and oceans.
EcoSystem’s ambition is to contribute to the resolution of this challenge by developing new clean technologies that reduce and reuse carbon emissions. Our plan to do so while building shareholder value is to develop, license and support technologies and projects that beneficially reuse waste carbon emissions in ways that reduce consumption of fossil fuels, increase use of sustainable raw materials, and decrease production of wastes and emissions.
Our current technology portfolio includes several feedstock and product conditioning technologies, lipid and alcohol production and refining technologies, and carbon dioxide recycling and refining technologies. While these technologies have wide application potential in several industries and processes, we are initially focused on developing applications of these technologies for use in the existing first generation U.S. corn ethanol industry. We believe that the composition and extent of the installed ethanol complex and the relatively uncomplicated nature of its inputs and outputs presents compelling opportunities to defray risk as we commercialize our technologies. Importantly, significant demand exists today for technologies that enhance the efficiency and sustainability of refining corn into liquid fuel. We believe that satisfying this demand can be expected to result in reduced reliance on petroleum products, more efficient use of natural resources, increased use of biomass-derived fuels and other products, and decreased greenhouse gas emissions on globally-meaningful scales.
Plan of Operations
The Company's operations for the year to date have mostly involved laboratory-scale research and development activities. The scope of these operations is expected to continue for the balance of the year moving forward. The Company is currently evaluating a number of opportunities involving the acquisition of high risk, early stage clean technologies. Our research and development activities can be expected to increase if we successfully acquire additional technologies.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This 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. In the opinion of management, 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 periods presented. 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 and any changes in the Company’s future operational plans. The Company accounts for convertible debt in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 815, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debenture could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares. We calculate the fair value of the conversion feature at the time of issuance and record a conversion liability for the calculated value, which is added to the carrying value of the debenture. We also recognize changes in value for accretion of the conversion liability from present value to fair value over the term of the note.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer participated in and supervised the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, we identified a material weakness. This material weakness consisted of inadequate staffing and supervision within the bookkeeping and accounting operations of our company. The lack of employees prevents us from segregating disclosure duties. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews. Based on the results of this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that because of the above condition, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
