Explanatory Note

 

The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10–K/A to our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission  (the “SEC”) on August 23, 2013 (the “Form 10–K”), is to correct a few clerical errors that were contained in the Form 10-K. Namely: (i) insert inadvertently omitted underlining from certain line items in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Loss; (ii) revise the Statement of Deficiency to reflect the par value of the Preferred Stock issued and subsequently converted into common stock totaling $20,000. The reclassification had no effect on the originally filed carrying values of the Preferred Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital as of December 31, 2011, (iii) to update Note 7 to state that the referenced transaction is included in stockholder's equity; and (iv) to update Note 8 and 9 by moving the paragraph about G & A Capital that was initially contained in Note 9 to Note 8. We are also filing this Amendment No. 1 to amend Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain beneficial Owners and Management to remove Stephen Luck and Paul Adams from the beneficial ownership table because they are no longer officers, directors or owners of more than 5% of our common stock; however, they do continue to own the shares of our common stock previously disclosed in the Form 10-K, but such shares are currently under an Executive Halt, which means that none of them may be traded or sold unless and until such halt is lifted.

 

No other changes have been made to the Form 10–K. This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the original filing date of the Form 10–K, and does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date and does not modify or update in any way, disclosures made in the original Form 10–K.  Accordingly, this amendment should be read in conjunction with the original Form 10-K filing, as well as  our other filings made with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subsequent to the original filing of the Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

US Fuel Corporation

Atco, New Jersey

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of US Fuel Corporation and Subsidiaries (formerly Nuclear Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries or the "Company"), as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of losses, deficiency in equity, and cash flows for years the ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, inconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 DECEMBER 31, 2011 and 2010

  

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Nuclear Solutions, Inc. ("the "Company") was organized February 27, 1997 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Stock Watch Man, Inc. On September 12, 2001, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Nuclear Solutions, Inc.

 

On September 2, 2005 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Fuel Frontiers Inc.(“FFI”), to pursue alternative fuel technology and projects

 

On July 31, 2006 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Liquidyne Fuels, which has no activity.

 

In 2008 the Nuclear Solutions Board of Directors elected to focus the Company exclusively on the production of synthetic fuels through the FFI subsidiary. Activities related to nuclear waste remediation was suspended.

 

On June 10, 2011 the Company name was changed from Nuclear Solutions to US Fuel Corporation, with a singular focus to design, build, own and operate coal-to-liquid (“CTL”) facilities.

 

Seeing no further need for the specific susidiary, on September 12, 2012, FFI was dissolved.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statement

 

Business

 

The business of US Fuel Corporation is to acquire and develop the intellectual property necessary to support the construction of multiple, scalable facilities capable of producing alternative fuels, with a primary feedstock of coal. The current project plan involves engineering a unique combination of technologies as the core of a scalable process to support multiple production facilities.

 

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized in the period that services are provided. For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. Payments received in advance are deferred.

 

F7
 

 

Collaborative Arrangement

 

In 2007, the Company, through its subsidiary FFI, entered into a collaborative arrangement with Kentucky Fuels Associates, Inc. (“KFA”) for the development of coal-based gas-to-liquid (“CTL”) fuel production facilities in the state of Kentucky. KFA has agreed to provide an initial funding of $2,000,000 per site to be applied by FFI towards any and all costs and expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business for the development, construction and arranging of financing to closure including without limitation the following costs: engineering, procurement, administrative, development management,

 

financing, legal, operations and maintenance costs for each said fuel production facility. In consideration for KFA's initial minimum funding contribution, KFA will receive 7% of the annual net pre-tax income of each jointly developed CTL diesel fuel facility and 2.5% equity interest in the first CTL diesel fuel facility developed by FFI and KFA. Additionally, KFA will have the exclusive right to develop CTL diesel fuel facilities with FFI in the state of Kentucky and a conditional first right of refusal to develop CTL diesel fuel facilities in the remainder of the United States.

 

We are accounting for this agreement pursuant to ASC Topic 808 “Collaborative Arrangements”. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we reported $0 for both years as payments received pursuant to collaborative agreements. The unexpended balance of payments received of $0 for both December 31, 2011 and 2010 is reported as a current liability as advance payments received.

 

KFA dissolved in 2012 and our contract with them is no longer in force. Accordingly, we are no longer have any obligations to pay KFA and therefore any amounts previously set aside for KFA shall instead be retained by the Company.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

As a result of adopting ASC 810-10 Consolidations, we present non-controlling interests as a component of equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statement of Deficiency in Equity. 

 

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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions and has not experienced any losses in its accounts.

 

Property and Equipment

 

The cost of furniture and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the assets utilizing the straight-line method of depreciation based on estimated useful lives of five years. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

 

Intangible and Long-lived Assets

 

The Company follows ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment” , which establishes a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long lived asset to be held and used.  Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  

 

F8
 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation under ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which was adopted in 2006, using fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company utilizes ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share.  The assumed exercise of common stock equivalents was not utilized since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Fair Value of Financial instruments

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, which include accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt-obligations approximate their fair value due to their short term nature and/or variable interest rates. The Company's debt obligations bear interest at rates which approximate prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and, accordingly, the carrying value for these instruments approximate fair value. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any financial instruments that are required to be measured on a recurring basis.

 

The Company adopted new accounting guidance pursuant to ASC 820 which established a framework for measuring the fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. The Company did not elect fair value accounting for any assets and liabilities allowed by previous guidance. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions accounting guidance that relate to non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. The adoption of the provisions of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also 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 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used.

 

1.Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

2. Level 2 Quoted prices in market that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

F9
 

 

3. Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no activity).

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt obligations, approximate their fair values due to he short-term nature. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company does not have financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

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 consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net loss of $4,461,627 and $357,933 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $6,490,104 as of December 31, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is actively pursuing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing. If operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management believes that the Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of its liquidity problems.

Management Agreement

 

In conjunction with the sale of its partial interest in FFI on June 12, 2009, the Company, FFI and Schrader entered into a Management Agreement, (the “Agreement”).  The Agreement states that the Company will use the proceeds of the sale of the Shares according to the Company’s use of proceeds Schedule which is attached the Agreement.   Additionally, the Company has agreed to nominate and appoint, and or vote into office one person named by Schrader who will be seated as a member of the FFI board of directors for a 12-month term.

 

FFI, upon receipt of funds from the Company’s use of proceeds schedule, has agreed to purchase certain real property located in Muhlenberg, Kentucky (the “Muhlenberg Property”) for the proposed construction of a Coal-to-Liquids (CTL) plant for approximately $150,000.  FFI has agreed to take title to the Muhlenberg Property in such a manner so that the property ownership would automatically transfer to Schrader in the event FFI were to file a petition in Bankruptcy Court, wind-up or liquidate.

 

Additionally, if FFI were to abandon its pursuit of a CTL plant on the Muhlenberg Property because FFI’s inability to obtain all appropriate approvals and permits required for a CTL plant, then FFI would sell the Muhlenberg Property and use the net proceeds to acquire another property for a CTL plant according to the same type of acquisition and title structure.

 

If FFI were able to secure an off-take agreement or fuel purchase agreement for fuels from its proposed CTL Plant, that would permit FFI to secure project financing, or if FFI were to secure project financing using the Muhlenberg or similar property as collateral, the Schrader would quit claim the future interest in and to the property to FFI.

In 2007, the Company adopted Non_qualified Stock Grant and Option Plan, which expired in 2010. The Plan was administered by the Company's Board of Directors.

Participants were eligible to be granted warrants, options, and common stock as compensation.

 

 NOTE 14 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company utilizes ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18 million, which will expire by 2031.   The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of December 31, 2011, we have fully allowed for any deferred tax assets as management has determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not sustain the use of our net operating loss carryforwards and have established a valuation allowance for them. The valuation allowance increased by $ 280,100 and by $ 91,100 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and certain states in the United States. The Company is delinquent in filing its federal and state income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012. No tax returns are currently under examination by any authorities.
