1. Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations

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, 2013. 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 six months ended June 30, 2014are 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:

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 $267,400 and net cash provided by operating activities of $40,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.7 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $68.1 million at June 30, 2014.  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 six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company did not receive any loans or  proceeds from related parties or shareholders, but it is  expected that the Company will have 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.

●      Development of project based opportunities

        Attracting strategic investmen

1. 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 continues to be 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 increase revenue and cash flow.  In February 2012, the Company began operation of the shredding equipment for its TDF production line

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.    We currently have a pilot project being constructed in the northeastern US to showcase the technology and obtain emissions testing data from our current generation of units. 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 a final agreement in place  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:

Revenue from sales of our Thermal Gasifier™ will be recognized upon completion, delivery and customer acceptance, using the completed contract method of accounting.   Revenues from other Waste-to-Energy related products or services provided for projects will be recognized when the products are delivered to the end customer, or when services are completed.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013 the Company began construction of a pilot waste-to-energy project in the northeastern US.  The project is being funded entirely by an outside party.  The Company is receiving payments in advance of services being performed and finished products being delivered to the project site.  As such, these advance payments are being accounted for as deferred revenue in the Company’s financial statements.  When products are purchased or services performed, these transactions will be recorded as deferred expenses in the Company’s financial statements.  For the ended June 30, 2014, the company recorded $90,600 in deferred revenue and $90,275 in deferred expenses for this project.

5. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

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

Environmental Liability

Our tire operations in Texas are subject to regulation by the TCEQ.  At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 7,700 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 $214,700 at June 30, 2014.  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 $73,400compared to December 31, 2013.  This amount has been recorded as environmental remediation income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s registration with the TCEQ requires the Company to provide financial assurance (approximately $170,000 at June 30, 2014) 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, and $150,000 in cash provided by Mr. Ruddy, The Company has no other asset retirement obligations. 

6. Subsequent Events

On July 17, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Green Giant Ventures regarding the completion of carbon credit documentation and marketing.  The Company issued 500,000 shares of S-8 common stock in conjunction with this agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information contained in this report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain “forward looking statements” relating to our business or operations because we issued “penny stock” (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made). We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this report or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of us. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “explore”, “consider”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, “plan”, or “continue” or “hope” or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

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 June 30,2014, compared with the operating results for the period ended June 302013.

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:

Discrete financial information is not presently maintained for our WTE business as it has generated limited revenues in the past 5 years.  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 June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 7,700 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 $214,700 at June 30, 2014. 

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, 2013, 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 $267,400 and net cash provided by operating activities of $40,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.7 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $68.1 million at June 30, 2014.  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.

Management’s Plan

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not receive any proceeds from related parties or shareholders, but does 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 until a significant investment into the company is recognized.

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.  This segment is currently operating with positive cash flow.

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 has a pilot Waste-To-Energy project under construction in the northeastern US, but 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, but has not completed this funding as of yet

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

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the Three and Six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Revenue

Revenue, which consists primarily of tipping fees received for acceptance of whole passenger and truck tires, revenue from sales of TDF(tire derived fuel), and from gasification project revenue, declined 25%, or approximately $59,600 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2013.  The majority of the decreasewas due to the recognition of significant gasification revenue in 2013 from large vended equipment purchases. The company also shipped less processed tire material in the second quarter of 2014, as one of its major customers had some unexpected downtime. The Company’s customer list for its tire operations in 2014 is consistent with its customer list in 2013.

Our two largest customers comprised approximately and 26% and 16% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 37% and 11% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014declined 26%, or roughly $50,000, which was  roughly in line with the decrease in revenue. The company’s tire operations saw slightly improved margins in the current period, while gasification segment performance saw costs of revenue similar to previous quarters on a percentage basis.  Management expects the cost of revenue to remain roughly consistent for tire processing operations, and to rise and fall with the level of gasification project activity in the gasification segment.

Environmental remediation expense

Our tire operations in Texas are subject to regulation by the TCEQ.  At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 7,700 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 had been 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 were requested as needed and the Company was required to pay transportation and disposal costs in order to reduce its tire shred inventory.  Consequently, the company installed a tire derived fuel(TDF) production line, starting production in February 2012 to allow the company to generate revenue from the offtake of material from the site  Based on these new circumstances, the Company has estimated a disposal cost of approximately $214,700 at June 30, 2013, resulting in income of $14,300 for the three months ended June 30, 2014as compared to incomeof  approximately $22,100 in the comparable prior period.  Management believes that the cost of disposal will decrease as the tire inventory is reduced over future periods due to TDF production exceeding incoming tonnage.

 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 June 30, 2014) 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 $153,900 as of June 30, 2014.  Accordingly, our assurance covers our liabilities according to the TCEQ regulations.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased approximately $118,700 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the year ago period.  The decrease was due primarily to the presence of  a $265,000 expense in 2013 for consulting services related to the company’s listing in Europe and

project development in the region. The company did have a smaller one-time charge in 2014 related to carbon credit development of approximately $108,000.  Management anticipates that these expenses will continue to be minimized until liquidity is sufficient to allow the Company to begin expanding the business.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increasedapproximately $24,800 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 versus the year ago period.  Reduced interest expense on equipment finance agreements was more than offset by default interest accrued on a note owed to the company’s largest shareholder.

Gain on Settlement of Liability

The company recorded a gain of approximately $44,200 in the period ended June 30, 2013, due to a number of negotiated settlements with existing creditors.  There was no comparable event in the corresponding period of 2014.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

Revenue

Revenue, which consists of tipping fees received for acceptance of whole passenger and truck tires, revenue from the sale of tire derived fuel(TDF), and gasification project revenue, increased by 1%, or approximately $3,400 during the six months ended June 30, 2014as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. Weaker revenue in the second quarter of 2014 in both segments was offset by strong 1^st quarter revenue.  Revenue in the first six months of 2013 was more consistent, in particular with the Company’s tire business.

Our two largest customers comprised approximately 32% and 18% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Our two largest customers comprised approximately 35% and 17% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30,2014 declined roughly 10%  year over year, as management continued to reap the benefits of cost cutting measures enacted over the past two years. Going forward, management expects cost of revenue for the tire segment to remain roughly constant, and to rise and fall with the level of gasification project activity in the gasification segment.

Environmental remediation expense

Our tire operations in Texas are subject to regulation by the TCEQ.  At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 7,700 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 had been 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 were requested as needed and the Company was now required to pay transportation and disposal costs in order to reduce its tire shred inventory.   Consequently, the company installed a tire derived fuel(TDF) production line, starting production in February 2012 to allow the company to generate revenue from the offtake of material from the site    Based on these new circumstances, the Company has estimated a disposal cost of approximately $214,700 at June 30, 2014, resulting in income of $73,400 for the most recent six month period, as compared to income of approximately $63,400  in the comparable prior period. Management believes that the cost of disposal will decrease as tire inventory is reduced over future periods due to TDF production.

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 June 30, 2014) 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 $153,900 as of June 30, 2014.  Accordingly, our assurance is adequate according to the TCEQ site remediation calculation formula.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased approximately $89,900 in the six months ended June 30, 2014. This was due to the presence ofa $265,000 expense for consulting services related to the Company’s listing in Europe and its project development efforts there in the first half of 2013, which was partially offset by a  $108,000 charge for carbon credit development in 2014.  Excluding these charges, selling general and administrative costs continued to decrease due to reduction in overhead costs at the corporate level. Management anticipates that these expenses will continue to be minimized until liquidity is sufficient to allow the company to begin expanding the business.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased approximately $69,300  in the period ended June 30, 2014versus the year ago period due to default interest being accrued on a note due to the Company’s largest shareholder, which was partially offsest by reduced interest payments on financed equipment at the Hutchins tire facility.

Losson Settlement of Liability 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the company recorded a lossof approximately $129,000.  A loss of $173,305 resulting from a difference in share price between the time of the execution of an interest conversion agreement and the approval of that agreement by the board of directors, was partially offset by gains arising from negotiated settlement with a number of the company’s creditors. There were no comparable events in 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had a cash balance of approximately $15,600 as of June 30, 2014.  Our cash balance increased approximately $8,300as compared to December 31, 2013due primarily to strong processed tire sales in the first quarter of 2014.

We expect that our current cash on hand and expected revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our current operations and fully execute our business plan.  The Company is exploring all available funding sources, including the sale of its assets, and additional debt and equity funding.  Financing has not been completed as of the date of this filing. In the near future we are relying on funding from principal shareholders and related parties to provide cash to fund operations in the foreseeable 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 June 30, 2014, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.7 million, which includes notes payable to a stockholder of approximately $1.1million (notes currently in default), notes payable to related parties of approximately $786,200, a liability of approximately $214,700 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not receive any proceeds from related parties or shareholders to help with working capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

None.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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 June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014. 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, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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 was 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 were due through December 2013.  During the second quarter of 2013, the company renegotiated the settlement to allow for a single lump sum payment of $26,500 as a final payment to settle the matter.  Through June 30, 2013 $71,844 has been paid towards the settlement and the company recorded a gain on settlement of liability of $32,856 in the second quarter of 2013.  

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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
