PURADYN FILTER TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.

Basis of Presentation, Going Concern and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. 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 adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

For further information, refer to Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated’s (the “Company”) consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Since its formation June 1, 2000, Puradyn Filter Technologies, Ltd. (“Ltd.”), the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary, has been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In March, 2009, Ltd’s office in the UK was closed and all assets, except for bank cash accounts, were transferred to the United States. Effective January, 2012, Ltd., ceased as a legal entity and all cash accounts were closed.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. However, because of the Company's net losses, the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, is excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. The number of such shares excluded from the computation of loss per share totaled 6,925,507 and 6,750,842 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Stock Compensation

The Company adopted FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005, recognizing the amortized grant date fair value in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 718 on straight line basis over the service periods of each award.  We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience.  Stock option compensation expense for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 have been recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC 505 Equity, including related amendments and interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity and any excess production costs are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company capitalizes financing costs and amortizes them using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense and totaled $715 and $252 for the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $681,369 and $679,389, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers when products that do not require further services or installation by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, as amended and interpreted. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as deferred revenue. Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return and other limited product and performance warranties for which provision has been made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.

Product Warranty Costs

As required by FASB ASC 460, Guarantor’s Guarantees, the Company is including the following disclosure applicable to its product warranties.

The Company accrues for warranty costs based on the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty cost is based upon historical information and experience.  The Company's warranty reserve is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was no change to the reserve for warranty liability as the reserve balance was sufficient to absorb any warranty costs that might be incurred from the sales activity for the period.

The following table shows the changes in the aggregate product warranty liability for the three-months ended March 31, 2012:

Comprehensive Income

FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes rules for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the sum of net loss as reported in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income transactions. Other comprehensive income transactions that currently apply to the Company result from changes in exchange rates used in translating the financial statements of its wholly owned subsidiary, Puradyn Filter Technologies, Ltd. (“Ltd.”). Comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2011 is not shown net of taxes because the Company’s deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. There was no comprehensive income or loss attributable to the three months ended March 31, 2012 as Ltd’s business license was surrendered with the British authorities in January, 2012 and all accounts were closed.

Comprehensive loss consisted of the following for the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

New Accounting Pronouncements

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 there were no new accounting pronouncements that were deemed to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2.

Going Concern

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained losses since inception and used net cash in operations of $255,857 and $249,354 during the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As a result, the Company has had to rely principally on private equity investments, including the conversion of debt into stock, as well as stockholder loans to fund its activities to date.

These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from an institutional investor and current stockholder led the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Webb & Company, P.A., to include a statement in its audit report relating to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 expressing substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company has been addressing the liquidity and working capital issues and continues to attempt to raise additional capital with institutional and private investors and current stockholders. Cost reductions were and continue to be implemented by the Company, including acquiring alternative suppliers for raw materials and volume purchase discounts when appropriate. The Company expects to see results from these reductions, as well as other cost reduction plans through 2012.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Overview


Sales of the Company’s products, the puraDYN® bypass oil filtration system and replaceable filter elements will depend principally upon end user demand for such products and acceptance of the Company’s products by OEMs. The oil filtration industry has historically been competitive and, as is typically the case with innovative products, the ultimate level of demand for the Company’s products is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Developing market acceptance for the Company’s existing and proposed products will require substantial marketing and sales efforts and the expenditure of a significant amount of funds to inform customers of the perceived benefits and cost advantages of its products. As a result of our limited resources, we have not had adequate funds available to undertake these necessary marketing efforts.

To our knowledge, currently no bypass oil filtration system has captured a substantial share of the market. We believe we are in a unique position to capitalize on the growing acceptance of bypass oil filtration given that our product and our Company are positioned as, including, but not limited to:

·

A competitively priced, value-added product based on an advanced, patented technology;

·

An alternative solution to the rising costs and national concerns over dependence on foreign oil and the growing trend toward ‘greening’ of existing technologies.

·

Providing an operational maintenance solution to end users in recognition of existing and reasonably foreseeable federal environmental legislation such as new regulation affecting diesel engines and diesel fuels, mandating cleaner diesel engines which first went into effect January 1, 2007. Additional and more stringent legislation went into effect in 2010.  

·

Providing significant operational savings which will reduce engine life cycle costs

·

Providing potential fuel efficiency due to a reduction of friction in the engine components from continuously clean lubricating oil.

We focus our sales strategy on end user fleet sales and distribution efforts as well as on the development of a nationwide distribution network that will not only sell but also install and support our product. We currently have over 100 active distributors in the U.S. and internationally. The number of distributors will frequently change as we add new distributors as well as when OEMs come onboard with their distribution network.

We continue to focus our sales and marketing efforts to target industries open to innovative methods to reduce oil maintenance operating costs. These industries are searching for new and progressive ways to maintain their equipment, including bypass oil filtration. This strategy includes focus on:

·

The expansion of existing strategic relationships we have with John Deere, Avis, and others;

·

Continued development and expansion of our distribution network with distributors who have an established customer base;

·

Continued development of relationships with identified and targeted market segment OEMs;

·

Creating customer ‘pull-through’, a sustained level of request for our product on the OEM level; and

·

Initiating and monitoring customer evaluations for conversion into sales, both immediate and long term.

While this is a long-term and ongoing commitment, we believe we have achieved a limited amount of product acceptance based on recent accomplishments:

·

September 2011 announcement that the Company has named a supplier of its Puradyn system for engines to John Deere for Construction and Forestry products. The product was selected after over four years of evaluation and testing.

·

Increased activity in the open pit mining industry.

·

Increased activity in Europe, Asia, and South and Central America.



15





We believe that the renewed interest shown in our bypass oil filtration technology as an economic alternative to combat significantly rising oil prices, dependence upon foreign oil, coupled with the added benefits of being environmentally beneficial and a means to conserve oil, has timely and favorably positioned the Company as a manufacturer of a cost efficient “green” product.

Our customers have found that bypass oil filtration technology affords the same benefits of the claims made by alternative energy source providers – reduce significant oil consumption and minimize a company’s carbon footprint. The advantages our Company offers vs. alternative energy source providers to existing and potential customers include not having to invest in new equipment; continued use of existing fleet equipment; and offering a relatively low-cost aftermarket product, installation, training, and support.  

Recognizing that a level of oil consumption is not 100% avoidable, we promote our technology as environmentally-friendly in that it provides a practical and more intelligent use of oil as opposed to the accepted norm of oil as a disposable and infinite resource. By keeping engine and hydraulic oil continuously clean, equipment runs at optimum efficiency and the oil can be kept in use, possibly extending the life of the oil by numerous oil drain cycles.

We believe that industry acceptance resulting in sales will continue to grow in 2012; however, there can be no assurance that any of our sales efforts or strategic relationships will meet management’s expectations or result in actual revenues.

The Company’s sales effort not only involves educating the potential customer on the benefits of our product, but also allowing the end-user to test and evaluate the Puradyn system on its fleet equipment. While set for a specific period of time, typically ranging from three to twelve months, evaluations are often influenced by a number of variables including equipment applications downtime or servicing, which may extend the evaluation period. Consequently, the sales cycle can be relatively long; however, the addition of several large engine users and the naming of the Company as an official supplier to John Deere may help in achieving high end user confidence levels to reduce evaluation times.

We believe international sales are especially well suited to our product for a number of reasons, including the fact that lubricating oil products in foreign countries are usually more expensive than in the United States.

Our focus on specific industries several years earlier has continued to pay dividends through 2012, notwithstanding the general recessed economic environment.  These industries demonstrated early signs of recovery from the economy’s current situation, and we are beginning to benefit from their recovery.

Optimizing our limited resources and obtaining sufficient capital is pivotal to accomplishing our goals. We will need to remain focused on working with OEMs, continue developing the independent distributors we have onboard and maintain growth within the specific niche industries using our system. To accomplish these tasks, we may need to obtain capital funding and add appropriate sales and marketing support to be sure our distributors and customers are served. We anticipate the short term need for at least one more sales person plus one sales support person. Expansion into the OEM area is rewarding in that it provides a steady flow of material requirements for our manufacturing facility. Additionally, OEM business allows us more stability in retaining trained manufacturing personnel, a stronger supply chain with steady production, economies of scale, and the ability to better utilize our overhead with higher average material turn rates.

We continue to address our liquidity and working capital issues as we continue to seek to raise additional capital from institutional and private investors and current stockholders. Historically, we have faced difficulties in raising adequate capital and we anticipate that those efforts will continue given the uncertainties facing the capital markets in the U.S. We also continue to implement cost reductions in an effort to improve margins, including securing alternative suppliers for raw materials and manufacturing and we anticipate these cost reductions will impact our results of operations during the balance of 2012 and beyond. We also continue to review cost of material increases, some of which were passed through to our customers as product price increases in the past few years.  As a result of the declining economy, we elected not to implement a yearly price increase in January 2010 and January 2011; however, due to raw material cost increases we could no longer postpone an increase and accordingly issued a price increase in September 2011.



16





Going Concern


Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We have incurred net losses each year since inception and have relied on the sale of our stock from time to time and loans from third parties and from related parties to fund our operations.  These recurring operating losses, liabilities exceeding assets and the reliance on cash inflows from an institutional investor and current stockholder have led our independent registered public accounting firm Webb & Company P.A. to include a statement in its audit report relating to audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities when they become due and to generate profitable operations in the future.  We plan to continue to provide for our capital requirements through the sale of equity securities, however, we have no firm commitments from any third party to provide this financing and we cannot assure you we will be successful in raising working capital as needed.  We are also materially dependent upon loans from related parties to provide working capital. There are no assurances that we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan, pay our obligations as they become due, or generate positive operating results.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, financing operations, warranty obligations and contingencies and litigation.  We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.


Allowance for doubtful accounts


We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial conditions of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.  We provide for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on customer specific identification and historical collection experience. If market conditions continue to decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense.


The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which is generally net 30 or net 60 days. Once collection efforts by us are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.


Estimation of Product Warranty Cost


We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or costs or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.




17





Inventory and estimation of inventory obsolescence


Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Valuation allowances for obsolete and excess inventory and shrinkage are also recorded. Shrinkage is estimated as a percentage of sales for the period from the last physical inventory date to the end of the applicable period. Such estimates are based on experience and the most recent physical inventory results. The valuation allowances for obsolete and excess inventory in multiple stages of processing, requires management judgment and estimates that may impact the ending inventory valuation and valuation allowances that may affect the reported gross margin for the period.


We provide for estimated inventory obsolescence or unmarketable inventory in amounts equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.


Impairment of long-lived assets


We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets under the guidelines of FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment.  Factors that we consider in making this evaluation include estimating the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to result from the assets over their remaining useful life. Should our estimates of these factors change, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.


Revenue recognition


Revenue is recognized when earned.  Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the provisions issued in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers is recorded when products that do not require further services or installation by us are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and for which collectability is reasonably assured.  We provide for sales returns based on an historical analysis of returns. The estimate is updated for current return activity and the provision is adjusted accordingly. Should actual returns exceed management’s estimates, the provision may require further adjustment and accordingly, net sales may decrease.

Net Sales


Net sales decreased 15% in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the first quarter of 2011. This decrease resulted from a change in the product mix sold in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year. We experienced a 43% decline in unit sales for the period ended March 31, 2012 compared to March 31, 2011, however kit sales increased 28% during the same comparative periods. Approximately $48,900 of our net sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was from the price increase effective September 15, 2011.


We are dependent upon sales to a limited number of customers. Sales to three customers accounted for approximately 24%, 13% and 12%, respectively, of the consolidated net sales for the three-months ended March 31, 2012. For the three-months ended March 31, 2011, sales to two customers accounted for 23% and 22%, respectively, of the consolidated net sales.


Cost of Products Sold


Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 33% in the first quarter of 2011 to 24% in the first quarter of 2012.  The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to the price of raw materials, specifically cotton, purchased during the period. We have obtained alternative sources for some of these raw materials and anticipate experiencing improved margins in future periods.


Salaries and Wages


Salaries and wages were 2.9% higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to March 31, 2011. On March 30, 2012 we issued stock options to the employees which impacted the expense in 2012. We do not anticipate any further material impact on our salary expense in future periods.




19





Selling and Administrative Expenses


Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 22.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from the comparable period in 2011. This decrease was due to a decrease in investor relations expense and patent costs. The decreases were partially offset by increases in travel and marketing. The decrease in patent costs resulted from lower patent application activity during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 2011. As we increase our reach to international customers and develop more specialized products for niche industries, we anticipate that selling, travel and research and development costs will increase, but all other expenses will remain stable for the balance of the year. The following table lists the major categories of expenses included in Selling and Administrative expenses:

Interest Expense


Interest expense remained relatively constant for the period ending March 31, 2012 as compared to the period ending March 31, 2011 and was incurred primarily on the outstanding balance of the stockholder notes payable. The slight decrease was due to a lower interest rate even though we incurred higher borrowings. The Company pays interest monthly on the notes payable to the stockholder at the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus 1.4%, which was a weighted average of 1.97% as of March 31, 2012 as compared to 2.54% as of March 31, 2011.  


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of March 31, 2012, the Company had cash of $44,866, as compared to $51,152 at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, we had negative working capital of ($699,381) and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 0.61 to 1.  At December 31, 2011 we had negative working capital of ($636,722) and our current ratio was 0.63 to 1.  The increase in working capital deficit and decrease in current ratio is primarily attributable to the decrease in inventories and increase in accrued liabilities.


We have incurred net losses each year since inception and at March 31, 2012 we had an accumulated deficit of $53,958,232. Our net sales are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. Historically, we have relied on the sale of our stock from time to time and loans from third parties and from related parties to fund our operations. During the first quarter of 2012 we raised an additional $220,000 from stockholder loans, together with $39,335 from the exercise of options and collection on notes receivable for options and $11,146, net, from a capital lease.  During 2011, we raised a total of $100,000 in capital from an institutional investor and current stockholders. As of March 31, 2012, we owe our principal stockholder who is also an executive officer and director of the Company $7.6 million for funds he has advanced to us from time to time for working capital, and we owe another member of our Board $100,000 for a working capital advance.  Interest expense on these loans was $38,495 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.




20





We do not currently have any commitments for capital expenditures.  Our current cash position is insufficient to cover our current operating needs for the next twelve months, and we do not have any external sources of working capital.  While we anticipate cash flows from 2012 sales activity, additional cash will still be needed to support operations, meet our working capital needs and satisfy our obligations as they become due.  Although we are actively seeking additional equity investments, we have no firm commitments from any third parties and there are no assurances we will be successful in attracting additional capital.  In addition, as set forth above, we owe our stockholder $7.6 million which is due on December 31, 2013 or (i) at such time as we have raised an additional $7 million over the $3.5 million raised in prior offerings, or (ii) at such time as we are operating within sufficient cash flow parameters to sustain operations, or (iii) until a disposition of our company, such as an acquisition or merger, occurs. During the first quarter of 2012 the due date of this note was extended from December 31, 2012 to the current due date of December 31, 2013.  Additionally, we owe one of our board members, who is also a significant stockholder, $100,000 at March 31, 2012 which is due on January 1, 2013.  We do not have sufficient funds to pay these loans when they become due and there are no assurances the note holders will extend the due dates.


We have implemented measures to preserve our ability to operate, including organizational changes, a reduction and/or deferral of salaries, reduction in personnel and renegotiating creditor and collection arrangements. If we are not successful in raising additional capital in the near future, it is possible we will be required to accelerate our contingent plans to more aggressively reduce spending, including drastic reductions in our work force, severe cutbacks in our production facilities and elimination of overhead costs that do not contribute to our level of sales activity. If budgeted sales levels are not achieved and/or significant unanticipated expenditures occur, or if we are not able to raise additional investment capital, we may have to modify our business plan, reduce or discontinue some of our operations or seek a buyer for part of its assets to continue as a going concern through 2012. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or that sales will increase to the level required to generate profitable operations to provide positive cash flow from operations. In that event, it is possible that stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


Cash Flows


Operating activities


For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 net cash used in operating activities was $255,857, which primarily resulted from the net loss of $231,979.  In addition to the cash used in funding the operating loss, the utilization of cash in operations is also attributable to the increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the amount of $39,956.  


For the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 net cash used in operating activities was $249,354, which primarily resulted from the net loss of $326,437.  The utilization of cash in operations is primarily attributable to the increase in accounts receivable in the amount of $304,942 offset by an increase in accounts payable of $207,125.


Investing activities


For the three months ending March 31, 2012, $21,508 was used in investing activities for the purchase of equipment.


For the three months ending March 31, 2011, $5,032 was used in investing activities for the purchase of equipment.




21





Financing activities


Net cash provided by financing activities was $271,079 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, composed of $34,535 in proceeds received from a shareholder note receivable that was issued in connection with an exercise of stock warrants, $4,808 as proceeds from the exercise of stock options, $11,736 from additions to deferred financing and capital lease borrowings and payments and $220,000 in loans from our stockholder as described above. Net cash provided by financing activities was $248,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, composed of $100,000 in proceeds received from stock issued for cash and $150,000 in loans from our stockholder as described above, less $1,142 in payment of capital lease obligations.


Critical Accounting Policy

General

The preparation of financial statements requires management to utilize estimates and make judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates are evaluated by management on an ongoing basis, and the results of these evaluations form a basis for making decisions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements are reasonable. The critical accounting policies affecting our financial reporting are summarized in Note 1 to the condensed financial statements included elsewhere.

Impact of Inflation and Foreign Currency Translation

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations. However, any significant decrease in the price for oil or labor, environmental compliance costs, and engine replacement costs could adversely impact the Company's end users cost/benefit analysis as to the use of the Company's products. Effective March, 2012, we no longer have operations or bank accounts in any foreign country and are therefore not impacted by foreign currency translations. The impact of fluctuations in foreign currency has not been significant during the three month period ended March 31, 2011.

Off Balance Sheet Financing

None. The Company has not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties, nor has it entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company does not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing or hedging services with us.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, which includes our CEO and our Vice President who serves as our principal financial officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and our Vice President who also serves as our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President who serves as our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
