Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements, which include the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Vista International Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”), have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial information has not been audited and should not be relied upon to the same extent as audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes contained in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
 
Description of Business
 
The Company is in the business of developing, commercializing and operating renewable energy and waste-to-energy (“WTE”) technologies and projects.
 
The Company is currently conducting its business in the following areas:
 
Tire processing operation in Hutchins, Texas, and
 
 
Renewable energy and WTE projects utilizing the Company’s Thermal Gasifier™ technology and corporate administration at the Company’s offices in Englewood, Colorado.
 
Discrete financial information is not presently maintained for our WTE business as it has not yet generated any revenues. In addition, management makes investing and resource allocation decisions based on the combined results of both the processing and WTE business. Accordingly, we only have one reportable segment.

Going Concern and Management’s Plan
 
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $115,000 and used net cash in operating activities of approximately $71,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.7 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $66.8 million at March 31, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to obtain equity investment or additional financing to meet obligations on a timely basis and ultimately achieve profitable operations.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company received proceeds of approximately $32,750 from an equipment financing transaction to help with working capital. We expect that the Company will continue to rely on loans, including those from related parties and issuances of shares in private placements to meet its working capital needs for the foreseeable future. Management plans to focus the Company’s resources in four key areas:
 
 
Thermal Gasifier™ engineering design and deployment
     
 
Maximizing value from the Hutchins, Texas tire processing and storage facility, including the installation and operation of a tire derived fuel (“TDF”) production facility.
     
 
Development of project based opportunities, and Attracting strategic investment

Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations (Continued)

Management considers the Thermal Gasifier ™ and waste-to-energy segment to be our core business. However, significant focus is also being placed on the improvement of the tire processing operation at our Hutchins, TX facility to increase production and reduce operating costs, and expand sales to include TDF to increase revenue and cash flow. In February 2012, the Company began operation of the shredding equipment for its TDF production line. Management expects positive cash flow from production in the second quarter of 2012.
 
The Company continues to develop our internal resources and implement business development activities to secure waste-to-energy and biomass-to-energy facility opportunities that will utilize their Thermal Gasifier™ technology through build-own-operate agreements or through joint-venture relationships with strategic partners. The Company is looking to partner with companies that produce large hydrocarbon-based waste streams and are also in need of thermal and/or electrical energy. The Company is targeting opportunities where there are high disposal fees and energy rates, where they can use the Thermal Gasifier™ with back end power systems to provide significant cost savings to the end user. The Company is reviewing the economic viability of a number of opportunities in the northeastern United States and in Colorado and are currently working towards obtaining letters of intent from these entities. Currently, the Company does not have any Thermal Gasifiers in operation.
 
Management believes that current revenue levels will not be sufficient to meet our operational needs and execute the Company’s complete business plan. The Company is seeking additional funding for the activities described above. The Company is exploring various financing opportunities but does not have final agreements or commitments for funding at the present time.

Future funding may be through an equity investment, debt or convertible debt. Current market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to secure additional funds, as well as its ability to reach full profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or obtain favorable terms on such financing if it is available. Continued negative cash flow and lack of liquidity create significant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to fully implement its operating plan, and may result in the Company reducing the scope of its planned operations, scale back or discontinue its technology and project development programs, or obtain funds, if available, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or products or to discontinue its operations entirely.

Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue from our tire fuel processing and storage facility in three ways:
 
 
Disposal fees (“tipping fees”) for waste tires are fully earned when accepted at the facility
     
    Tire Derived Fuel revenues are fully earned when the product is accepted at the purchaser’s facility. 
     
 
Sales of unprocessed whole tires are recognized when delivered to the end user
 
Revenue from sales of our Thermal Gasifier™ will be recognized upon completion, delivery and customer acceptance, using the completed contract method of accounting. We have recognized no revenue from the sale of our Thermal Gasifier™ during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Our two largest customers comprised approximately 20% and 15% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and our two largest customers comprised approximately 24% and 12% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Use of Estimates
 
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable, based on information available at the time they were made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has adopted all applicable recently-issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including any not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

** The 12% promissory notes were originally due April 22, 2011 but on May 19th, 2011 the repayment of principal was postponed until 5 days after the sale of the Hutchins facility. Interest continues to accrue.

Issuance of Convertible Debt

On December 7, 2011, the Company entered into a loan agreement with an investor pursuant to which the Company sold and issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $42,500. The Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 58% of the current market price of the stock, as measures by the average of the 3 lowest closes of the past 10 trading days. The Note accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum and matures on September 7, 2012.
 
Embedded Derivatives
 
The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the Convertible Note entered into on December 7, 2011. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Convertible Promissory Note and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.

Current Value of Derivative
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company amortized $14,013 of the debt discount to current quarter operations as interest expense.
 
The fair value of the described embedded derivative of $61,552 at March 31, 2012 was determined using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions:
 
(1) risk free interest rate of 
10%;
 
 
(2) dividend yield of
0%; and
 
 
(3) volatility factor of
369%;
 
At March 31, 2012, the Company adjusted the recorded fair value of the derivative liability to market resulting in non-cash, non-operating gain of $12,640 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

3. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

Settlement Payments

The Company was named in a suit in the Colorado District Court for the 18th District (Arapahoe County) by a former employee alleging that the Company did not meet its obligation to issue shares to the employee. On July 12, 2011 the Court granted a motion to enforce a settlement dated September 16, 2010. In accordance with the terms of the court order, the Company is obligated to make payments totaling approximately $104,700, including annual 6% interest. An initial payment of $15,455 was made on July 22, 2011 and monthly payments of $3,000, including interest are due through December 2013. A final payment of approximately $5,200 will be due in December 2013. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has accrued the short term portion of this settlement of approximately $34,000 under accounts payable and accrued liabilities and has listed the long term portion of this settlement $28,482 under other long term liabilities on its balance sheet. Through March 31, 2012, $35,945 has been paid toward the settlement, with no additional payments having been paid in the subsequent period, as of May 8, 2012

4. Stockholders’ Equity

As of March 31, 2012, the Company has an obligation to issue approximately 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock to an investor. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect an accrual of approximately $5,000 for these unissued shares as of March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were 120,479,461 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

5. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Encumbrance on Company Assets
 
On September 13, 2011 the Company entered into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to pay a delinquent payroll tax obligation of approximately $88,700, including penalties and interest, at the rate of $5,000 per month. The IRS has filed a tax lien against the Company in connection with this obligation. The Company expects to use revenues from TDF production at its industrial site in Hutchins Texas to satisfy the remainder of this obligation (See Note 1).

Mechanic’s lien filed by a contractor for approximately $86,000 for services provided October, 2007 through April, 2008. Lien expired in August 2011 under statute of limitations for such liens in Texas. The liability for this judgment is still included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets

Litigation and Claims

In accordance with the terms of a court order, the Company is obligated to make payments totaling approximately $104,700, including 6% interest, to a former employee. An initial payment of $15,455 was made in July 2011 and monthly payments of $3,000, including interest are due through December 2013. At March 31, 2012, liabilities for approximately $34,000 and $28,500 has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, related to this matter.

Environmental Liability
 
Our tire operations in Texas are subject to regulation by the TCEQ. At March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 15,200 tons of whole tires, partially shredded tires, tire chips and process waste stored onsite at the tire processing and storage facility. Through January 2011, we were able to dispose of this material at a municipal landfill site with minimal disposal and transportation costs. In February, 2011, the landfill transitioned to a project-based system where tire shreds are requested as needed, and the Company is now required to pay transportation and disposal costs in order to reduce its tire shred inventory. Consequently, the Company has since installed a tire derived fuel (TDF) line to create additional revenue from disposal of the tires and has been selling TDF since February 2012.  Based on these new circumstances, the Company has estimated a disposal cost of approximately $381,500 at March 31, 2012. This amount has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and reflects a decrease of approximately $22,000 compared to December 31, 2011. This amount has been recorded as environmental remediation expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

5. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

The Company’s registration with the TCEQ requires the Company to provide financial assurance (approximately $170,000 at March 31, 2012) for remediation in the event the Company liquidates and the facility closes.  The Company currently has $170,000 on deposit with the TCEQ, Consisting of $20,000 in cash provided by the company, $75,000 in cash provided by Mr. Ruddy, and a $75,000 loan held jointly by the company and Mr. Ruddy. The Company has no other asset retirement obligations. 

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
 
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to help stockholders and other readers understand the dynamics of the Company’s business and the key factors underlying its financial results. It explains trends in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2012, compared with the operating results for the period ended March 31 2011.
 
Business Overview and Presentation
 
Our financial results were impacted by several significant trends, which are listed below. We expect that these trends will continue to affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
 
Inability to attract adequate debt or equity funding to implement our business plan
Delay in successfully demonstrating our Thermal Gasifier™ technology
Ongoing operating losses
 
Description of Business
 
The Company is in the business of developing, commercializing and operating renewable energy and waste-to-energy (“WTE”) technologies and projects.
 
The Company is currently conducting its business in the following areas:
 
Tire processing operation in Hutchins, Texas, and
 
 
Renewable energy and WTE projects utilizing the Company’s Thermal Gasifier™ technology and corporate administration at the Company’s offices in Englewood, Colorado.
 
 
Discrete financial information is not presently maintained for our WTE business as it has not yet generated any revenues. In addition, management makes investing and resource allocation decisions based on the combined results of both the processing and WTE business. Accordingly, we only have one reportable segment.

Our mission is to provide a clean, dependable, cost-competitive alternative energy to fossil fuels. We plan to develop projects with government, community, industry and financial partners to recover the available carbon based energy from materials previously considered “waste” and destined for disposal. The recovery of energy from waste using our Thermal Gasifier™ is expected to divert large volumes of material from landfills and other disposal sites, while providing clean alternative energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to processing waste into clean energy, our technology has the capability to convert biomass into energy using various plant based materials.

Environmental Liability

Our tire processing operations are subject to regulation by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). We are registered with the TCEQ, which allows us to receive, store, transport and process waste tires. Our registration was renewed on April 23, 2010 and our permit was granted through April 25, 2015.

At March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 15,200 tons of whole tires, partially shredded tires, tire chips and process waste stored onsite at the tire processing and storage facility. Through January 2011, we were able to dispose of this material at a municipal landfill site with minimal disposal and transportation costs. In February, 2011, the landfill transitioned to a project based system where tire shreds are requested as needed and the Company is now required to pay transportation and disposal costs in order to reduce its tire shred inventory. Consequently, the Company has since installed a tire derived fuel (TDF) line to create additional revenue from disposal of the tires and has been selling TDF since February 2012 , Based on these circumstances, the Company has estimated a disposal cost of approximately $381,500 at March 31, 2012.

Going Concern
 
The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph which means that the auditors stated that conditions existed that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company reported a net loss of approximately $115,000 and used net cash in operating activities of approximately $71,100       for the three months ended March 31, 2012, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.7 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $66.8 million at March 31, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain equity investment or additional financing to meet obligations on a timely basis and ultimately achieve profitable operations.
 
Management’s Plan
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company received proceeds of approximately $32,750 from an equipment financing transaction to help with working capital. We expect that the Company will continue to rely on loans, including those from related parties and issuances of shares in private placements to meet its working capital needs for the foreseeable future.

Management plans to focus the Company’s resources in four key areas:
 
Thermal Gasifier™ engineering design and deployment
   
Maximizing value from the Hutchins, Texas tire processing and storage facility, including the operation of a tire derived fuel (“TDF”) production facility.
   
Development of project based opportunities, and
   
Attracting strategic investment
 
TDF Production

Management considers the Thermal Gasifier ™ and waste-to-energy segment to be our core business. However, significant focus is also being placed on the improvement of the tire processing operation at our Hutchins, TX facility to increase production and reduce operating costs, and expand sales to include TDF to increase revenue and cash flow. In February 2012, the Company began operation of the shredding equipment for its TDF production line. Management expects positive cash flow from production in the second quarter of 2012.
 
Thermal Gasifier™ technology

We continue to develop our internal resources and implement business development activities to secure waste-to-energy and biomass-to-energy facility opportunities that will utilize our Thermal Gasifier™ technology through build-own-operate agreements or through joint-venture relationships with strategic partners. We are looking to partner with companies that produce large hydrocarbon-based waste streams and are also in need of thermal and/or electrical energy. We are targeting opportunities where there are high disposal fees and energy rates, where we can use the Thermal Gasifier™ with back end power systems to provide significant cost savings to the end user. We are reviewing the economic viability of a number of opportunities in the northeastern United States and in Colorado and are currently working towards obtaining letters of intent from these entities. Currently, the Company does not have any Thermal Gasifiers in operation.

Summary

Management believes that current revenue levels will not be sufficient to meet our operational needs and execute the Company’s complete business plan. The Company is seeking additional funding for the activities described above.
 
Future funding may be through an equity investment, debt or convertible debt. Current market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to secure additional funds, as well as its ability to reach full profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or obtain favorable terms on such financing if it is available. Continued negative cash flow and lack of liquidity create significant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to fully implement its operating plan, and may result in the Company reducing the scope of its planned operations, scale back or discontinue its technology and project development programs, or obtain funds, if available, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or products or to discontinue its operations entirely

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
 
Revenue
 
Revenue consisted primarily of tipping fees received for acceptance of whole passenger and truck tires, with additional revenue generated in Q1 2012 from TDF sales. Revenue increased in the first quarter of 2012 due to a higher volume of customer disposals during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as well as from the new TDF revenue source, which contributed roughly $29,900 to the total. The Company’s two largest customers comprised approximately 20% and 15% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012, while the Company’s two largest customers comprised approximately 24% and 12% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The Company expects revenue to remain elevated, and increase slightly as the company enters the seasonally strong second and third quarters.

Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue for our tire processing operations increased by roughly $94,000 over the prior year period, primarily due to the additional personnel and equipment required to install and operate the TDF line. The main components of this increase were an increase in salaries and wages of approximately $28,600, an increase in equipment repair and maintenance of approximately $27,300, and an increase in equipment rental of roughly $8,500
 
These higher costs are consistent with continued operation of a tire derived fuel processing facility and are expected to continue in to the future as long as TDF is being produced at the Hutchins facility.

Environmental remediation expense

Our tire operations in Texas are subject to regulation by the TCEQ. At March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 15,200 tons of whole tires, partially shredded tires, tire chips and process waste stored onsite at the tire processing and storage facility. This represents a roughly 1100 ton decrease from the December 31, 2011 estimate. The Company estimated a total disposal cost of approximately $381,500 at March 31, 2012, which resulted in a gain of approximately $21,000 for the three months ended March 31,2012 as compared to a loss of approximately $62,000 in the comparable prior year period. Management believes that total disposal costs will continue to decrease through 2012 as TDF production capacity exceeds tire intake, with future reductions anticipated as the tire inventory is reduced over future periods.

The Company’s registration with the TCEQ requires the Company to provide financial assurance in the form of letters of credit (approximately $170,000 at March 31, 2012) for remediation in the event the Company liquidates and the facility closes. The amount of assurance that would be required (computed utilizing TCEQ regulations) is approximately $232,000 as of March 31, 2012. Accordingly, our assurance is deficient by approximately $60,000 as of March 31, 2012.
 
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased approximately $109,000 in the period ending March 31, 2012 as compared to the prior year period. The main drivers of this decrease were a significant reduction in corporate overhead, as evidenced by a $22,000 reduction in salaries and wages, a $21,800 reduction in accounting fees paid, and a $28,100 reduction in legal fees. The additional accounting and legal fees paid in Q1 2011 were in part due to the added costs of preparing the proxy for the proposed Hutchins sale/leaseback transaction. The transaction was terminated by the purchaser in January, 2012.

Overall, this quarter reflects the beginning of a trend toward significant decreases in spending on salaries and outside services due to cost control measures and a lack of liquidity. Management anticipates that these expenses will continue to be minimized until liquidity is sufficient to allow us to begin adding resources to manage the business.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense increased by approximately $30,200 for the period ending March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, primarily due to an increase in related party and stockholder borrowings to finance the installation of the TDF production line. These borrowings included a $450,000 promissory note from a shareholder, as well additional amounts contributed by a related party for site cleanup and working capital.
 
Gain on Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the company recorded a gain of approximately $12,600 due to the change in fair value of the derivative portion of a convertible note signed in December, 2011, There was with no comparable event in 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company had a cash balance of approximately $2,200 at March 31, 2012. Our cash balance decreased approximately $18,200 as compared to March 31, 2011 due primarily to the timing of payment on the Company’s TDF contracts. The TDF purchaser generally has 30 days or longer to pay for the TDF product, so receivables increased during the quarter with a corresponding decrease in the cash balance.

We expect that our current cash on hand and expected revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our current operations. The Company is exploring all available funding sources, including the sale of its assets, and additional debt and equity funding. In the near future we are relying on funding from principal shareholders and related parties to provide cash to fund operations in the forseeable future as described in more detail under the heading “Management’s Plans” above. If we are unable to obtain additional funding or increase revenues, we may be required to scale back or suspend operations or revise our business plan.
 
As of March 31, 2012, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.7 million, which includes notes payable to a stockholder of roughly $1.096 million (notes currently in default), notes payable to a related party of approximately $659,000, a liability of approximately $381,500 for waste tire shred removal and cleanup costs at the tire processing and storage facility, and an unpaid payroll liability to former officers of the Company of approximately $482,000.
 
As of March 31, 2012, we owed approximately $61,800 to the Internal Revenue Service in delinquent payroll taxes and penalties. Monthly payments of $5,000 have been made to the Internal Revenue Service since December 28, 2010.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company received proceeds of approximately $32,750 from an equipment financing transaction to help with working capital.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2012, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Interim Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of March 31, 2012. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of certain “material weaknesses” described in the “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, we had not completed the remediation of these material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company was named in a suit in the Colorado District Court for the 18th District (Arapahoe County) by a former employee alleging that the Company did not meet its obligation to issue shares to the employee. On July 12, 2011 the Court granted a motion to enforce a settlement dated September 16, 2010. In accordance with the terms of a court order, the Company is obligated to make payments totaling approximately $104,700, including 6% interest, to a former employee. An initial payment of $15,455 was made in July 2011 and monthly payments of $3,000, including interest are due through December 2013. At March 31, 2012, liabilities for approximately $34,000 and $28,500 has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other long term liabilities, respectively, related to this matter.
 
 
As of March 31, 2012, the Company has an obligation to issue approximately 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock to an investor. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect an accrual of approximately $5,000 for these unissued shares as of March 31, 2012.

The above sales were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. We did not use any underwriter or placement agent in these transactions and did not pay anyone commission or other compensation in connection with these issuances. These issuances were made directly by us to persons with whom our management had direct contact and a pre-existing relationship.
